Adam Eaton Placed On 60-Day DL

Washington Nationals outfielder Adam Eaton (ankle) has been transferred to the 60-day DL by the Nationals. The earliest he would be eligible to return is the first week of June. Eaton underwent surgery on his ankle which discovered an undiagnosed cartilage tear. The team has given no timetable for his return at this point. It […]

Hitter Streamers (Week 7) - Head-to-Head Leagues

Welcome back to my hitting streamers column for Week 7, taking a look at hitters to add or stream off the waiver wire for this week's scheduled games. To keep things simple, I pick from players who are 50% owned or less and who play at least seven games in the week.  If someone jumps […]

Carlos Gomez Drives In Two Friday Versus Baltimore

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Carlos Gomez drove in two runs Friday versus the Orioles. He would hit an eighth-inning triple that drove in two runs and then would come around to score in the same inning. Unfortunately, the Rays were already down 8-1 going into the inning, largely due to Manny Machado's two home runs […]

Kevin Kiermaier Mid-May Update

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier continues his rehab and even came on part of the 10-day road trip that includes Baltimore this weekend. He is looking to have his cast removed next Friday. He then begins strengthening exercises and other steps towards recovering. He is hoping to return in mid-July around the All-Star break. […]

Hernan Perez Making The Best Of Starting Second Baseman Opportunity

Milwaukee Brewers utility player Hernan Perez went 3-for-5 with two runs in the 11-10 win over the Colorado Rockies. With the Brewers second baseman situation as unclear as ever, Perez has now started in two consecutive games at the position and has gone 5-for-9 in those games. This small outburst of offense has now bumped […]

George Springer Leaves Game With Elbow Contusion

Houston Astros centerfielder George Springer left Friday's game against the Rangers after being hit by a pitch in the third inning. The pitch struck his elbow and Springer immediately broke down in pain. He made it through the inning but was lifted after that in what appears to be a precautionary measure and is considered […]

Khris Davis Joins The Power Party In New York

Oakland Athletics outfielder Khris Davis hit his team-leading 11th homer of the season, a solo shot off Sonny Gray in the second inning. His average (.215) is leaving a lot to be desired but he continues to provide the power that is expected. Davis is a model of consistency; he has hit at least 42 […]

Hunter Renfroe Nearing Rehab Assignment

San Diego Padres outfielder Hunter Renfroe (elbow) started extended-spring games on Thursday and should begin a rehab assignment soon. Renfroe hasn't played since April 17 with right elbow inflammation. Prior to the injury, he was in a platoon role slashing only .200/.281/.440 with two home runs in 57 plate appearances. Outfielder Franchy Cordero (.849 OPS) […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (5/12/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

We have a splits slate of games, and the start times are all over the place, so let's break this down. There is a very early slate which starts at 1 pm but is only two games. Next, there is a four-game early slate which starts at 4 pm. Then we finally head onto the […]

Jonathan Villar To Sit Out Sixth Time In Seven Days

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Jonathan Villar will sit out for the sixth time in seven days for the Brewers as Hernan Perez takes his second consecutive start at second base. Considering Villar is hitting a respectable .270 on the season so far, it seems quite odd that Villar is constantly being benched all of the sudden. […]

Domingo Santana To Rest Second Consecutive Night

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Domingo Santana (rest) will sit for Friday's matchup against the Colorado Rockies. With Jesus Aguilar hitting quite consistently in May, it leaves Santana as the scapegoat to sit out of games. There could be a trade sometime in the near future that either involves Aguilar, Santana or Eric Thames in order to […]

Bryce Harper Bats Second Friday

Washington Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper will bat second against Diamondbacks starter Matt Koch on Friday. It's the first time he won't be batting leadoff in two weeks. Harper went 1-for-5 on Thursday after taking a day off from his prolonged leadoff slump. Trea Turner will lead off instead. Koch is a rookie who hasn't allowed […]

Hunter Pence To Start Rehab

San Francisco Giants outfielder Hunter Pence (thumb) will begin his rehab assignment Friday. Pence has been sidelined since April 20 with a right thumb strain. Pence should be able to return to everyday at-bats when he is completes his rehab, but can be avoided in most formats as he was hitting just .172 prior to […]

Byron Buxton Activated From DL

The Minnesota Twins activated outfielder Byron Buxton from the 10-day disabled list on Thursday, sending outfielder Ryan LaMarre back to Triple-A to make room. Buxton spent almost a full month on the DL, first with migraines and then with a fractured toe which he suffered during a rehab assignment. Buxton will presumably be in the […]

We've got a busy Saturday on DraftKings with all 30 teams scheduled to play. There's a variety of slates to choose from, so I'll be covering players across all start times. In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball lineup picks for DraftKings on 5/12/18. The lineup picks will range from […]

Mac Williamson Not Close To Returning

San Francisco outfielder Mac Williamson is going to have at least seven-to-ten more days in the concussion protocol. This nagging concussion has kept him out of the lineup for a concerning amount of time already, and with this bad news, it seems that he is not going to be returning anytime soon. The Giants outfield […]

Yoenis Cespedes Only Playing At 85%

New York Mets outfielder Yoenis Cespedes may be playing every day, but he’s not at 100% according to manager Mickey Callaway. Dealing with a sore right quad, Cespedes is only playing at 85, says the skipper. Although taking extra base and chasing down balls in the gap may be an issue for Yo, the Mets […]

Renato Nunez Designated For Assignment Friday

Texas Rangers third baseman/outfielder Renato Nunez was designated for assignment Friday. The move was a result of Rougned Odor being activated from the disabled list. Nunez, who was claimed by the Rangers earlier this season, has struggled in a Texas uniform. In 41 plate appearances, he has hit just one home run and has a […]

Brian Goodwin Begins Swinging Bat

Washington Nationals outfielder Brian Goodwin (wrist) has begun swinging a bat again and it looks like he'll be the first of the team's major injured players to return to action. There's still no timetable for his return but the news is a positive sign. He's been on the disabled list since April 17th with a […]

Nicholas Castellanos Back In The Lineup Friday

Detroit Tigers outfielder Nicholas Castellanos is back in the lineup Friday after missing Wednesday's game with knee inflammation. Castellanos was experiencing some swelling after taking a pitch to the knee in Tuesday's game. He also had some hamstring discomfort that was unrelated to the knee issues. Manager Ron Gardenhire decided to play it safe and […]

Franchy Cordero Records Three Hits Thursday Night

San Diego Padres outfielder Franchy Cordero recorded three knocks in four at-bats Thursday night against the St. Louis Cardinals. Cordero nearly tied the game with a deep fly ball in the ninth inning, but outfielder Marcell Ozuna tracked it down. Cordero has eight hits in his last five games (.421 average) and continues his development […]

Derek Fisher Has Homers In Last Two Games Played

Houston Astros outfielder Derek Fisher has two home runs in his last two games played and now has three hits in his last nine at-bats. It has been a struggle to stay consistent for the young Fisher, but he flashed his potential when one of those long balls traveled 447 feet. Fisher is one of […]

Jackie Bradley Sitting for Third Straight Game

While there is no debate about the defensive prowess of Boston Red Sox outfielder Jackie Bradley, his bat has been ice-cold to start the season. The Boston Red Sox center fielder is batting a paltry .173 over the course of 125 plate appearances to go along with two home runs and nine RBI. This will […]

Kyle Tucker With 24 RBI In 31 Minor League Games

Houston Astros outfield prospect Kyle Tucker is currently hitting .285 with two home runs, 10 doubles and 24 runs batted in through 31 games at Triple-A. The 20th-ranked prospect, according to Baseball Prospectus, hit 25 home runs last season throughout different levels of the Astros system. Houston currently has a deep, dynamic lineup but could […]

Corey Dickerson Getting a Breather on Friday

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Corey Dickerson is out of the starting lineup against the San Francisco Giants on Friday. With southpaw Andrew Suarez on the mound for the Giants, the left-handed hitting Dickerson is getting his first day off since April 25. Dickerson has hit well off of lefties this season (.849 OPS) but that goes […]

Bradley Zimmer Out of Friday's Starting Lineup

Cleveland Indians outfielder Bradley Zimmer is not in Friday's starting lineup. Zimmer missed a couple of games earlier this week due to shoulder and hip issues, but he was back in there on Wednesday. Greg Allen will get the start in center field. Zimmer should be back in there on Saturday.

Dustin Fowler Makes First MLB Start

Oakland Athletics rookie outfielder Dustin Fowler is making his first MLB start against the Yankees Friday. With Stephen Piscotty going on the bereavement list, Mark Canha moves to right field to allow Fowler to man center field. Fowler competed for the spot but had a rough spring training. At Triple-A, he hit three homers with […]

Stephen Piscotty Placed On Bereavement Leave

Oakland Athletics outfielder Stephen Piscotty was placed on the bereavement list Friday. His mother, Gretchen Piscotty, passed away roughly a year after being diagnosed with ALS. Piscotty returned to play a couple of games afterwards. He will miss the series against the Yankees this weekend. Piscotty is obviously having a troubling year and is batting […]

Cameron Maybin Hitting .292 in May

After a poor start to the year that saw him hitting .213 with a .293 slugging percentage, Miami Marlins outfielder Cameron Maybin has begun to heat up in May, hitting .292 with a .417 slugging percentage. Maybin hit .228 last season with 10 home runs and 33 stolen bases over 114 games, while this season […]
