Kevin Kiermaier And Adeiny Hechavarria Have Good Rehab Day

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier (thumb) and shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria (hamstring) both played in the field Friday in their rehab assignment. Both made it through without any apparent setbacks which are a positive step for both. Injuries continue to plague Kiermaier and will cause him to likely suffer a setback in his counting stats […]

Jorge Soler Out For A While

Kansas City Royals outfielder Jorge Soler is expected to be out for a while according to manager Ned Yost after Soler suffered a fractured metatarsal on Friday night. He is scheduled for a CT scan that the team hopes will give a more definitive timeline for his recovery, but at the moment, that time is […]

Odubel Herrera Records Home Run In Blowout Defeat

With the Philadelphia Phillies well on their way to an ugly defeat at Miller Park to the Milwaukee Brewers Friday night, outfielder Odubel Herrera added to his stats. The 26-year-old, who’s been in a terrible slump as of late, drilled a solo home run to right in the ninth inning of a 13-2 defeat. After […]

Matt Adams Leaves Game After HBP

Washington Nationals first baseman Matt Adams left Friday's game against Toronto after being hit on the hand with a pitch in the second inning. As of now, its too early to know the extent of the injury, but more news should be coming shortly. As for now, Mark Reynolds took over at first base and […]

Andrew Benintendi Resting Friday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi is out of the lineup for Friday night's game against the Mariners. It is just a routine day of rest for him and nothing to worry about. Benintendi has been red hot in the last month batting .343 with a 1.140 OPS, nine home runs and four steals and […]

Alen Hanson Batting Second On Friday

San Francisco Giants second baseman Alen Hanson is in the lineup batting second for Friday's game against the Dodgers. With the Giants starting to get healthy again, Hanson's playing time has diminished but he has still produced when given the opportunity. Hanson is batting .338 with a 1.067 OPS on the year with some speed […]

Jonathan Villar is Out of the Lineup on Friday

Milwaukee Brewers second baseman/outfielder Jonathan Villar (calf) is not in the starting lineup against the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday. He is not starting due to a left calf injury, but should be available off the bench. Hernan Perez is starting at second base and batting sixth versus Jake Arrieta. Villar has some upside, especially in […]

Ben Zobrist is Sitting on Friday

Chicago Cubs second baseman/outfielder Ben Zobrist (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. The Cubs just have too many talented regular starters that it becomes difficult for Zobrist to get in the lineup every game. Zobrist has been in a bit of a slump lately, but owners […]

Austin Meadows Not in Lineup on Friday

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Austin Meadows (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. It's tough for the Pirates to find regular playing time for Meadows when they have three other regular outfielders too. However, Meadows brings enough production when he does start that he should be owned in most […]

Billy Hamilton Out on Friday

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Billy Hamilton (knee) is not in Friday's starting lineup against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Hamilton has been struggling this season, but he's not out due to rest. Hamilton is out on Friday because of a sore knee. It's been a disappointing season for Hamilton, but many owners might want to keep him because […]

Tyler Naquin Activated From DL on Friday

Cleveland Indians outfielder Tyler Naquin (hamstring) has been activated from the 10-day disabled list on Friday. He missed roughly five weeks due to a left hamstring strain. Naquin will start in center field and bat eighth on Friday. Yonder Alonso (personal) has been placed on the 3-7 day emergency family leave list, so Naquin will […]

Matt Kemp Suspended One Game

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Matt Kemp (personal) has been suspended one game following his involvement in Wednesday's brawl with the Rangers. Kemp got in the face of Robinson Chirinos after a home plate collision. Chirinos was also punished with a one game suspension, but will serve his on Friday. Kemp is appealing his suspension and […]

Nomar Mazara Out Friday With Wrist Soreness, Lineup Shuffled

The Texas Rangers outfielder Nomar Mazara was a late scratch Friday with left wrist soreness. Mazara, who was originally scheduled to bat third and play right field, will be replaced by Shin-Soo Choo in right and the lineup will get shuffled like this: Choo, Delino DeShields, Jurickson Profar, Adrian Beltre, Roughned Odor, Isiah Kiner-Falefa, Joey […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (6/15/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

A 15-game Main slate Friday is pretty well deserved after that weak four-gamer we had to deal with last night. Oh, and it's the weekend, too. Pretty sweet combination in my opinion. There are a handful of stud and stud-like pitchers at the top - so there's much to discuss. In this article, I will […]

David Peralta Crushes Two Home Runs Thursday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder David Peralta went 2-for-3 with two solo home runs in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Mets. Peralta continues to sprint closer to his career high, sitting just three back of the 17 home runs he hit in 2015. Peralta has been a big part of the Diamondbacks offensive resurgence, collecting a hit […]

Miguel Sano And Jake Cave Optioned, Joe Mauer Set To Return

Minnesota Twins first baseman Miguel Sano has officially been optioned to Class-A Fort Myers. The move comes after a season of struggles for Sano, who was batting .203 before the demotion occurred. Fantasy owners who either drafted him or picked him up off the waiver have to be scratching their heads, considering Sano was an […]

Michael Conforto Hits Second June Home Run

New York Mets outfielder Michael Conforto had himself a nice night at the dish on Thursday against the Arizona Diamondbacks, finishing 1-for-4 with a home run and a walk. The dinger was Conforto’s eighth of the season and only his second in the month of June. The outing marks the second in a row Conforto […]

Brandon Nimmo’s Breakout Continues Against Snakes

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo hasn’t been quite as hot as he was just a few weeks ago, but he’s still producing nonetheless. In a 6-3 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks on Thursday, Nimmo finished 1-for-4 with a home run. The long ball was his ninth of the season. On the year, he now […]

Week 12 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 […]

DraftDaily Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (6/15/18): 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. […]

Nick Williams Makes Most Of Home Start

While Rhys Hoskins did the majority of damage on offense for the Philadelphia Phillies Thursday, a fellow outfielder also came up big in what would ultimately be an easy win. Nick Williams, who batted fifth and started in right field, recorded two hits, first with a solo home run in the second inning. The game […]

Rhys Hoskins Powers Phillies Past Rockies

With Vince Velasquez absolutely dealing on the mound Thursday afternoon, the Philadelphia Phillies offense pounded Colorado’s pitching as they coasted to victory. The star of the show on offense was Rhys Hoskins, who recorded a game-high three hits. His first came in the game’s opening inning, as he opened the scoring with a solo home […]

Aaron Hicks Kicks Off Yankees Comeback

With the New York Yankees trailing by two runs in the fifth inning of Thursday’s game against the Tampa Bay Rays, they needed a spark to ignite a comeback, and it came from one of their outfielders. It wasn’t who you’d imagine, however, as Aaron Hicks drilled a solo home run, cutting the deficit in […]

Ender Inciarte Drives In Two Runs As Braves Beat Padres

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ender Inciarte is useful in fantasy baseball for one reason and one reason only: his legs. He's got an MLB-leading 20 steals and we're barely in mid-June. He did add some value on Thursday night, hitting a solo homer and driving in another run as Atlanta beat San Diego. Still, he's your […]

Chris Shaw Is Showing Power In Triple-A

San Francisco Giants outfield prospect Chris Shaw is having a nice season for Triple-A Sacramento. Shaw converted from first base to outfield this offseason. Shaw is hitting .262, which is below his career average of .278, but he does have 11 home runs and 33 RBI. Shaw is currently blocked in the Giants outfield and […]

Brett Phillips Starting To Show Power

Milwaukee Brewers outfield prospect Brett Phillips hit his second home run in three games on Wednesday. Phillips has been in Triple-A Colorado Springs, as there is no room for him in the Brewers outfield. Phillips has hit double-digit home runs throughout his professional career and has four in 2018. Phillips has seen a dip in […]

Charlie Tilson Picks Up Two Hits On Thursday

Chicago White Sox outfielder Charlie Tilson went 2-for-3 Thursday versus the Indians. Tilson has been playing regularly for the White Sox. Tilson does not offer much fantasy value outside of speed. Tilson can be avoided in all but deep AL-only leagues for now.

J.B. Shuck Has Four Hits in Marlins Loss Thursday

Nearly two months after his last multi-hit performance, Miami Marlins outfielder J.B. Shuck had four hits in the Marlins loss on Thursday against the Giants. Shuck finished 4-for-7 with two doubles and a run scored. While it's nice to see him hitting again, Shuck has no fantasy value at all right now, even in the […]

Magneuris Sierra Has Caught Fire

Miami Marlins outfield prospect Magneuris Sierra has now hit safely in nine of his last 10 games for Triple-A New Orleans. Sierra has five multi-hit games over that stretch and has now raised his batting average to .256 after a poor start. Sierra was the main piece that the Marlins got in return for Marcell […]
