Week 13 Waiver Wire: H2H Category Streamers

I like to consider myself a pioneer of the streaming approach. I won a league about seven years ago completely ignoring saves and just stacking up the starts each week. While streaming is undoubtedly more directly associated with pitching, there's plenty of value in streaming for offense as well. Maybe you have a stacked roster […]

Colby Rasmus Returns From DL Thursday With A Bang

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Colby Rasmus had an eventful first game back from the 60-day disabled list after recovering from a left hip flexor strain. Rasmus went 1-for-3 with a solo home run to straightaway center field off of Max Scherzer. Due to his injury, Rasmus only has 26 plate appearances on the season and is […]

Jason Heyward Continues To Perform Well

Chicago Cubs outfielder Jason Heyward continues to perform well. Heyward went 4-for-5 on Thursday with a run scored. Heyward has struggled offensively over the last two seasons, but is now hitting .283 on the season. He is worth consideration in NL-only and deeper mixed leagues as long as he continues to hit.

DraftDaily Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (6/22/18): MLB DFS Lineups

In preparation for today's freeroll on DraftDaily, below you can find my recommended lineup picks. If you've never played on DraftDaily before, it is fairly similar to the other sites, but you tend to lose more points. Points are taken away for strikeouts and home runs allowed, but you also earn points for sacrifice flies. […]

Starling Marte Reaches Milestone In Loss

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Starling Marte went 1-for-3 in Thursday night's game against Arizona. The only hit of the game for Marte was a significant one, though, as it was his 800th career hit and it drove in his 300th career run. The 29-year-old from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, is now only a mere 2,200 hits […]

Lorenzo Cain Removed From Game With Hamstring Cramp

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Lorenzo Cain was removed from Thursday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals with a hamstring cramp. This is deemed precautionary and considering it was only a cramp, this will almost certainly be a day-to-day injury. Keep posted for more updates about Cain.

Alen Hanson Returns Thursday

San Francisco Giants infielder Alen Hanson (knee) will be in Thursday’s lineup. Hanson left Wednesday’s game after taking a foul ball off of his knee. Hanson will be in left field and is hitting first Thursday. Hanson is worth a look in NL-only leagues with Evan Longoria (hand) sidelined.

Eddie Rosario Expects To Play Friday

Minnesota Twins outfielder Eddie Rosario (shoulder) told reporters that he expects to return to the lineup on Friday. When asked, Rosario stated, "I'll play tomorrow - 100 percent." The outfielder was scratched from Thursday's game after coming down with a sore shoulder but it doesn't appear to be anything serious. Rosario is hitting .320 with […]

Michael Hermosillo Recalled From Triple-A

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Michael Hermosillo has been recalled from Triple-A on Thursday. Chris Young (hamstring) returned to the starting lineup on Wednesday but could still be bothered by lingering hamstring issues. Mike Trout (finger) has been cleared to serve as the designated hitter, but he will not play the outfield Thursday. Hermosillo has been […]

Travis Swaggerty Makes Professional Debut

Pittsburgh Pirates first-round draft pick, outfielder Travis Swaggerty, will make his very first professional baseball start Thursday for the West Virginia Black Bears. He was the No. 10 overall pick in the MLB draft earlier this June. The young man out of South Alabama has some speed and a good arm. The power numbers steadily […]

Ronald Acuna To Begin Rehab Assignment Friday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna (knee) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Gwinnett Friday. The 20-year-old top prospect is closing in on a return from a sprained ACL that has kept him out nearly a month. Acuna has five homers and a .779 OPS in 2018 for Atlanta. Acuna's fantasy owners will be happy […]

Albert Almora Jr. Sitting on Thursday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Albert Almora Jr. (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. Jason Heyward, Ian Happ and Kyle Schwarber will cover the outfield for the Cubs on Thursday. Almora has been exceeding expectations on offense this season. However, he does not offer much more than batting average in […]

Austin Meadows In Left Field Thursday

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Austin Meadows will be in left field and bat second Thursday. The Bucs prospect is hitting .323 in 27 games this year. Meadows will get the majority of the playing time while Corey Dickerson is on the family medical leave list. This will be Meadows' opportunity to break into the four-man outfield […]

Ben Zobrist is Out on Thursday

Chicago Cubs second baseman/outfielder Ben Zobrist (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. Javier Baez will play second, while Addison Russell starts at shortstop. Zobrist has cooled off a bit lately but is still worth a look in mixed leagues.

Ryan Braun Remains Out on Thursday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun (thumb) remains out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. It will be his second straight game on the bench. Eric Thames will play left field and bat leadoff on Thursday. However, Braun is not heading to the disabled list. The injury is only considered […]

Clint Frazier Continues Taking Advantage Of Playing Time

With New York Yankees outfielder Brett Gardner still on the sidelines since Saturday with a right knee injury, outfielder Clint Frazier continues to see consistent playing time after beginning his frustrating season in the minors. The 23-year-old started each of the three games against the Seattle Mariners, also getting a pinch-hitting appearance against the Nationals on […]

White Sox Release Michael Saunders

The Chicago White Sox have released minor league outfielder Michael Saunders. Saunders hit just .151 over 51 plate appearances for Triple-A Charlotte. Saunders made the All-Star team in 2016 but has struggled since. The White Sox were the second organization that Saunders has been with in 2018. The outfielder will have to settle for another […]

Scott Schebler Placed On Bereavement List

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Scott Schebler was placed on the bereavement list on Thursday following the passing of a family member. It was one of a flurry of roster moves the Reds made on the day. Along with Schebler, the Reds recalled outfielder Phillip Ervin from Triple-A Louisville, optioned left-handed pitcher Wandy Peralta down to Triple-A, […]

Colby Rasmus Activated, Joey Rickard Sent Down To Triple-A

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Colby Rasmus (hip) has been reinstated from the 60-day disabled list on Thursday. In a corresponding move, the team optioned outfielder Joey Rickard down to Triple-A Norfolk. They also transferred left-handed pitcher Richard Bleier (shoulder) to the 60-day DL. Rasmus should be avoided in most leagues for the time being. During his […]

Adam Eaton, Daniel Murphy Sitting Thursday

Washington Nationals outfielder Adam Eaton and second baseman Daniel Murphy are both receiving the day off Thursday. Michael Taylor is starting in center field and hitting sixth, while infielder Wilmer Difo is at the keystone and is batting seventh against Orioles starter Kevin Gausman. Taylor is more attractive for DFS purposes because of his mix […]

Wil Myers Activated, Franmil Reyes Sent To Triple-A El Paso

San Diego Padres outfielder Wil Myers (oblique) will be activated from the disabled list on Thursday. In a corresponding move, outfielder Franmil Reyes will be optioned to Triple-A El Paso. The Padres sent Reyes and his power potential down instead of one of their more veteran outfielders. Fantasy owners have to be breathing a sigh […]

Yoenis Cespedes Hopes To Run In Next Few Days

New York Mets outfielder Yoenis Cespedes continues to rehab his hip and quadriceps injuries and hopes to progress to running drills within the next few days, according to Mets manager Mickey Callaway. Cespedes initially hit the disabled list in the middle of May with a hip injury, but right when he was about to return […]

Alex Kirilloff Promoted To High-A Fort Myers

Minnesota Twins prospect Alex Kirilloff has been promoted. The youngster had been playing in Low-A Cedar Rapids after missing all of 2017 due to Tommy John surgery. His impressive slash line of .333/.391/.607 this season earned him the promotion to High-A Fort Myers. While the outfielder does not have any value in regular leagues right […]

Eloy Jimenez Promoted To Triple-A

Chicago White Sox outfield prospect Eloy Jimenez has been promoted to Triple-A Charlotte on Thursday. Jimenez dominated Double-A pitching and hit .317 with 10 home runs and 42 RBI over 205 at-bats. Jimenez remains one of the most exciting prospects in the game and should be stashed in all formats. Jimenez has a good chance […]

Eddie Rosario Scratched From Lineup, Ryan LaMarre In

Updating a previous report, the Minnesota Twins will now be sitting outfielder Eddie Rosario (shoulder) against the Boston Red Sox on Thursday. His day off is being attributed to soreness in his shoulder. In Rosario's place, Ryan LaMarre has been inserted into the lineup and will start in center field. Rosario's injury is considered minor, so […]

Mark Trumbo Blasts Fifth Home Run Of Season Wednesday

Baltimore Orioles outfielder/designated hitter Mark Trumbo provided two of the Orioles three runs in Wednesday's 3-0 win over the Nationals, going 1-for-3 with a two-run home run. Trumbo obliterated a hanging curve from Gio Gonzalez deep into the left field seats. He now has a decent .262/.318/.434 slash line with five HRs and 15 RBI […]

Joe Mauer Back In Lineup, Bobby Wilson Catching Thursday

Minnesota Twins first baseman Joe Mauer is back atop the lineup on Thursday to face the Boston Red Sox. The veteran sat on Wednesday against the lefty David Price, but with Rick Porcello on the mound, Mauer is back in his leadoff spot. Bobby Wilson will take over catching duties for Mitch Garver, Logan Morrison […]

Clint Frazier Leading Off, Brett Gardner Sits Again On Thursday

New York Yankees outfielder Clint Frazier will hit atop the lineup Thursday against the Seattle Mariners. He will play center field, while Aaron Hicks — who has been swinging a hot bat lately — gets the day off. As expected, veteran outfielder Brett Gardner (knee) will sit again, a move which manager Aaron Boone hopes […]
