Kevin Kiermaier Removed Early On Saturday

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier (hip) was removed early during Saturday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. This is a shame because Kiermaier just got off the injured list. Now, it sounds like the veteran outfielder is headed right back on the shelf. Brett Phillips came into the game on Saturday, so he could see […]

Jeff McNeil To Go On Paternity Leave Monday

New York Mets second baseman/outfielder Jeff McNeil will go on paternity leave after this weekend's series against the Miami Marlins. It is unfortunate timing for the Mets, who travel to Atlanta for an important 3 game set with the Braves starting Monday. For fantasy managers, it at least opens up the opportunity to get someone […]

Bryan Reynolds Taking A Seat Against The Brewers

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds is sitting out on Saturday against Brandon Woodruff and the Milwaukee Brewers. This is just a routine day off for the 27-year-old outfielder. Jack Suwinski is starting in center field and batting cleanup in his place. Reynolds is slashing .263/.342/.470 with 15 home runs, 32 RBI, and three stolen bases […]

Michael Harris II Goes Off From Ninth Spot

Atlanta Braves outfielder Michael Harris II has been a major spark plug for the club since he ascended to the major leagues, and Friday's performance was perhaps his finest. Harris II went 4-for-4 with a home run, a double, four RBI, and three runs scored. He now has seven homers on the season to go […]

Brendan Donovan Absent With An Illness

St. Louis Cardinals utility man Brendan Donovan (illness) is not in the lineup on Saturday due to being ill, according to manager Oliver Marmol. The Cards' manager told reporters that Donovan wasn't even at the ballpark on Saturday but it's still unclear what type of illness he's dealing with. He will be tested for COVID […]

Week 14 MLB Injury News, Fantasy Baseball Injury Updates - Chris Sale, Frankie Montas, Kevin Gausman, Tyler Stephenson

The summer season is now in full swing and July 4th is in the rear view mirror. The next baseball season milestone coming up is the mid-summer classic – the All-Star game. Teams have passed the midpoint of their seasons and it is getting close to the time of saying that the results we see […]

Whit Merrifield Homers In Three-Hit Game

Kansas City Royals second baseman Whit Merrifield enjoyed a rare strong game at the plate Friday, going 3-for-4 with a home run, two RBI, and a run scored. Merrifield is off to a good start in July, slashing .364/.432/.667 with two homers and three steals in that span, though his OPS for the season remains […]

Franmil Reyes Hits 100th Career Homer

Cleveland Guardians designated hitter Franmil Reyes reached a major milestone in Friday night's game, hitting the 100th home run of his career. It's his eighth long ball of this season. Reyes went 1-for-4 with the two-run shot. Fantasy managers certainly expected Reyes to reach this point earlier in the year, but it's been an underwhelming […]

Josh Naylor Back In The Lineup On Saturday

Cleveland Guardians first baseman Josh Naylor (back) is back in the lineup on Saturday against the Kansas City Royals. The 25-year-old has been dealing with back spasms, which have forced him to miss four of the last five games. He's batting cleanup against Royals' right-hander Jonathan Heasley on Saturday afternoon and should be re-inserted into […]

Eloy Jimenez Sitting Out On Saturday

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez is not in the lineup on Saturday against the Detroit Tigers. Jimenez was activated from the injured list earlier this week after missing two and a half months with a torn hamstring so this is just a routine day off for the 25-year-old slugger. He's appeared in three games […]

Kris Bryant Homers Twice Friday

Colorado Rockies outfielder Kris Bryant hit two home runs Friday night, leading the team to a 6-5 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks. He also doubled and walked in five plate appearances. This big night is surely a welcome sight to fantasy managers, who have dealt with significant absences and underperformance to this point in the […]

Teoscar Hernandez Steals Two Bases Saturday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez was active on the bases Friday, swiping two bags against the Seattle Mariners in a 5-2 loss. At the plate, he went 2-for-4 with a walk, an RBI, and a run scored. Hernandez now has five stolen bases on the season to go with nine homers, 28 runs, and […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (7/9/22): Today's Top MLB DFS Lineups

Saturdays and Sundays are made for day baseball and we are getting another big late afternoon slate today with a 9-game 4:05 slate on both sites and only four games in the evening. For the sake of my own sanity (and yours), I am going to focus on that slate only with these picks today. […]

Ronald Acuna Jr. Hits His Eight Homer On Friday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. helped the team defeat the Washington Nationals 12-2 on Friday. He went 2-for-5 with a home run, three RBI and a run scored in the game. Injuries have held the 24-year-old superstar to just 51 games on the year. While his production this season hasn't been nearly as elite […]

Josh Naylor Scratched Late Friday

Cleveland Guardians first baseman/outfielder Josh Naylor was scratched from Friday's game against the Kansas City Royals. Naylor was originally in the lineup, but was removed just prior to game time. Naylor has been battling back issues for the past week, and his absence is likely related to that. Hopefully he can put these issues to […]

Andrew Vaughn Remains Out Friday, Could Pinch Hit

Chicago White Sox outfielder/first baseman Andrew Vaughn (illness) will remain out of the lineup Friday, but is feeling better and could pinch-hit. Vaughn missed Thursday's game with the illness and is not feeling good enough to return tonight in a starting role. He will likely return over the next few days. The 24-year-old is having […]

Tyler O'Neill Has Left Wrist Contusion

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill will not be activated for Friday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. O'Neill seemed to be on track for a Friday return but was hit by a pitch Wednesday during his rehab assignment and has a left wrist contusion. Fortunately, the wrist isn't fractured, and it doesn't sound like this […]

Nolan Jones Called Up Friday

Cleveland Guardians third baseman/outfielder Nolan Jones was called up Friday and is set to make his MLB debut. Jones has been a highly regarded prospect in the past, but dropped out of the top 100 after a mediocre 2021 campaign. He seems to have found his game this year, though, hitting for a monster .311/.417/.500 […]

Jarren Duran To Sit Out On Friday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the New York Yankees. This doesn't come as much of a surprise considering Duran went 0-for-4 with four strikeouts on Thursday. Rob Refsnyder will bat leadoff and play center field versus lefty Nestor Cortes. Fantasy managers should be […]

Aaron Judge Returning On Friday

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (lower body) is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Boston Red Sox. He sat out of Thursday's contest due to lower body soreness, but is back on Friday. He'll serve as the designated hitter and bat second versus right-hander Connor Seabold. The 30-year-old slugger is […]

Adam Duvall Placed On Paternity List

Atlanta Braves outfielder Adam Duvall has been placed on the paternity leave list as of Friday. The 33-year-old is expected to miss the weekend series, but should return early next week. This is actually good timing since Duvall has been dealing with a hand issue. This time off gives him an opportunity to heal and […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (7/8/22): Today's Top MLB DFS Lineups

We were really close to getting a full 15-game slate, but the Reds and Rays are playing a 6:40 PM game, meaning we have "only" 14 games on the main slate instead. That also means my favorite lefty fireballer Shane McClanahan (and also the surging Luis Castillo) are not on the main slate, but we […]

Miguel Vargas Makes Futures Game

Los Angeles Dodgers infield prospect Miguel Vargas has made the Futures Game roster. It's no surprise with Vargas performing at an elite level for Triple-A Oklahoma City. The infielder has been adding to his versatility lately with action in left field and that could help ascend him to a stacked Dodgers big-league roster at some […]

Mike Trout Slumping Over First Week Of July

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout went 0-for-4 in the team's 4-1 loss to the Baltimore Orioles on Thursday. It was his second consecutive 0-for-4 outing as he continued his sluggish start to the month of July. Over his first six games of the month, he's gone just 1-for-22 at the plate with a highly […]

Owen Caissie Making Headlines In Single-A

Chicago Cubs outfield prospect Owen Caissie played hero on his birthday for High-A South Bend on Thursday. On the day that he turned 20 years of age, the Canadian went 2-for-4 with a walk-off grand slam. Caissie was part of the haul that the Cubs got from the Padres for starting pitcher Yu Darvish last […]

Jurickson Profar Taken To Hospital For Further Evaluation

San Diego Padres infielder Jurickson Profar (head) was taken to the hospital UC San Diego Health for further evaluation on the injury he suffered during Thursday's game. He was involved in a scary collision with his teammate C.J. Abrams while attempting to catch a pop-up in left field. Abrams' knee crashed into Profar's head as […]

Robert Hassell III Continues To Rake In High-A

San Diego Padres outfield prospect Robert Hassell III continued his impressive season on Thursday for High-A Fort Wayne. The outfielder went 3-for-4 with three walks, two doubles, four RBI and a two-run home run in his most recent contest. The left-handed hitter has been putting together a very strong campaign and is hitting .310 with […]

We are back for another week of our fantasy baseball prospects rankings series, reviewing MLB prospects to make fantasy impacts in 2022. This week was Brayan Bello week and honestly, it was a bit disappointing. There was so much hype throughout the week, as we knew he'd make his debut on Wednesday, and in the […]
