Corey Dickerson Stretches Hit Streak to Nine Games

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Corey Dickerson extended his hitting streak to nine games with a bunt single in the ninth inning in Saturday's win over the Miami Marlins. The Pirates had runners on the corners when Dickerson popped a safety squeeze bunt up in the air. It wasn't the best execution, but the ball landed safely […]

Brian Goodwin Still Out Of Lineup

Washington Nationals outfielder Brian Goodwin (wrist) remains out of the lineup on Sunday and Mosies Sierra will start in left field in his place while batting seventh. Goodwin hurt his left wrist on Friday and missed Saturday's contest as well. A trip to the DL doesn't seem likely, but the Nationals would still prefer to […]

A.J. Pollock Hits Two Home Runs Saturday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder A.J. Pollock went 2-for-4 with two home runs, three RBI and two runs scored on Saturday against the Dodgers. Pollock has gotten off to a fantastic start this season, hitting three home runs and stealing four bases in 51 at-bats. Hitting behind Paul Goldschmidt has given Pollock opportunities that he's never seen […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (4/15/18): MLB DFS Lineups

We have an ace-heavy 11 game featured slate this Sunday. There are several quality pitchers on the schedule today, as well as several suspect pitchers. There aren’t many middle tier options on the mound, which means we’ll have to choose our hurlers carefully. We’ve also got weather concerns across the country. As of writing this […]

Stephen Piscotty Connects For First Homer

Oakland Athletics outfielder Stephen Piscotty went 2-for-4 with an opposite field solo homer in a 10-8 loss to the Mariners on Saturday. Piscotty has started hitting well in the last week with a .333 average and only two strikeouts. The runs and RBIs are not there as he is hitting at the bottom of the […]

Hitter Streamers (Week 3) - Head-to-Head Leagues

Welcome back to my hitting streamers column for Week 3, 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 […]

Buy or Sell - Underowned and Overowned Players for Week 3

If your fantasy baseball team looks anything like most of mine, then you've got a couple of injured players occupying bench spots because your DL positions are already full. That didn't take long did it? The 10-day DL has been both a blessing and a curse for the fantasy world. On the one hand, it […]

Kevin Kiermaier Scores Twice Saturday Versus Philadelphia

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier scored twice Saturday versus Philadelphia. He went 2-for-4 which raised his batting average to .143 as he continues to try to get back into the rhythm after a rough start and an injury already this season. His 2018 numbers look bad but his track record tells another story. Kiermaier […]

Nomar Mazara Out With Stiff Neck

Texas Rangers outfielder Nomar Mazara had a day off on Saturday after feeling a stiffness in his neck during Friday's game. Mazara is officially day-to-day, but, considering that the Rangers were hopeful that he might be available off the bench last night, it does not look likely that he will out for long. Mazara has […]

Jonathan Villar Drives Three Run Bomb In Win

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Jonathan Villar went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in the 5-1 win over the New York Mets. So far this season, Villar has displayed a fantastic ability to get base hits as he now holds a .333 batting average in April after a subpar .182 batting average March. Despite Villar's ability […]

Charlie Blackmon Homers In Return

Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon returned for the first time in five days, and he came back with a vengeance. Blackmon homered in his first at-bat since returning from quad tightness, knocking in two runs in the first inning against Max Scherzer. Unfortunately, Colorado's offense would sputter from that point forward, and they would eventually […]

Bubba Starling Off To Extended Spring Training

Kansas City Royals outfield prospect Bubba Starling is set to begin extended spring training in the next few days as he recovers from an oblique strain. Starling has been considered one of the team's top prospects for years, but he's struggled to break out like expected. Instead, over the course of 444 at-bats in Triple-A, […]

Mookie Betts Day-To-Day With Foot Contusion

Boston Red Sox outfielder Mookie Betts left Saturday's game with a left foot contusion, according to Conor Ryan of MassLive.com. Betts injured his foot in a home plate collision with Chance Sisco in the first inning. He stayed in the game before ultimately leaving the game after the third. X-rays came back negative and Betts […]

Dee Gordon Takes 10-Game Hitting Streak Into Saturday

Seattle Mariners outfielder Dee Gordon went 1-for-5 Friday night, extending his hit streak to open the season to 10 games. Gordon has delivered as the leadoff hitter for the Mariners lineup in the early part of the season, hitting .319 with two extra-base hits, five stolen bases and seven runs scored. Gordon and shortstop Jean […]

Steven Souza Set To Rejoin Diamondbacks Monday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Steven Souza (pectoral) is set to rejoin the team on Monday. At this time he will resume baseball activities, in preparation for his return to the lineup. After a couple days of evaluation, the Diamondbacks will have a more concrete return date for Souza. Owners with available DL spots should add him […]

Lewis Brinson Likely To Stay In Majors

Despite an ugly start to the season, Miami Marlins outfielder Lewis Brinson will most likely stay in the big leagues, according to Joe Frisaro of MLB.com. Brinson, who entered the season as the club's top prospect, is hitting a measly .151 with just one RBI this year. Brinson began the season in the leadoff position […]

Charlie Blackmon Returns To Lineup

After missing five games, Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon is in the lineup for Saturday's game. Blackmon had been held out all week with quad tightness, but he's been working extensively with trainers to try to get back to playing as soon as possible. The former MVP finalist should get right back into the swing […]

Matt Kemp Fine After Wall Collision

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Matt Kemp stayed in the game on Friday after going for a home run ball and banging into the fence. Because Kemp is one of the few hot hitters in a lineup that's been largely absent this season, he was moved up to bat third against the Diamondbacks and he went […]

Jesse Winker Still Sidelined On Saturday

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Jesse Winker (shoulder) remains out of the lineup on Saturday. Winker was a last-minute scratch ahead of his team's Friday night game after he came down with a sore right shoulder. Manager Bryan Price told reporters on Saturday that Winker may miss another day or two depending on how well he responds […]

J.B. Shuck Goes 4-for-4 In Season Debut

In his first action since 2016, Miami Marlins outfielder J.B. Shuck knocked four hits as part of a 7-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday. Shuck, who was called up from Triple-A New Orleans before Friday's game, went a perfect 4-for-4 and scored two runs in the win. With the Marlins' outfield struggling so […]

Teoscar Hernandez Has Successful Debut

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez was called up to the Majors on Friday after third baseman Josh Donaldson hit the disabled list, and he did not disappoint in his 2018 debut. Hernandez finished 2-for-5 with two doubles, two RBI and a stolen base. The steal was the first of his career. You can’t ask […]

Kyle Schwarber Out Of Saturday’s Lineup

Chicago Cubs outfielder Kyle Schwarber is absent from Saturday’s Lineup versus the Atlanta Braves. It makes sense as left-handed Sean Newcomb will take the hill. Ben Zobrist will play left field in place of Schwarber and bat fifth. There is rain the forecast for the afternoon affair, so it may be wise to avoid Cubs […]

Khris Davis Hits HRs In Bunches

Oakland Athletics outfielder Khris Davis hit two HRs Friday night, one a tw-run shot of Mike Leake in the first inning and the other a solo shot off Juan Nicasio in the eighth. He finished the night went 2-for-4 with two runs and three RBI in a losing effort as Athletics lost 7-4 to the […]

Preston Tucker Drives In Three Wins As Braves Blank Cubs

Atlanta Braves outfielder Preston Tucker provided the only offense needed on Friday night. He clubbed a three-run homer off Yu Darvish and Atlanta easily won, 4-0. The three-RBI night gave him 12 for the season, which ties him for fourth in the National League in that category. The question is: Is he for real? April […]

Ryan Braun Hits HR Despite Struggles

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun went 1-for-4 with his third HR of the season in the 6-5 loss to the New York Mets. His homer was a two run shot off Steven Matz in the sixth inning that brought the Brewers within two runs. Despite the homer, Braun continues to have a rough start to […]

Scott Schebler Making Progress

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Scott Schebler (elbow) is making progress in his return from an ulnar ligament contusion in his right elbow.
