Kyle Schwarber Continues To Struggle

On Friday, Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Kyle Schwarber went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts and a walk against his favorite team to torment, the New York Mets. Schwarber is now batting a putrid .190/.306/.418 on the season, though he has 10 homers and 22 RBI. After batting just .167 in April, May hasn't been much better where […]

Fantasy Baseball Trade Targets - Buy/Sell For Week 7

Making the right trades can be crucial to championship success in fantasy baseball, almost as much as the draft, if not more.

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (5/28/22): MLB DFS Lineups

Jeffrey Springs did his thing! The Rays couldn't get him a win, but he pitched six strong innings and gave up just two runs (both on solo home runs). I was heavily invested in his success in DFS and the prop market, so I was happy to see that, and I featured him in yesterday's […]

Seattle Mariners outfielder Jesse Winker is dealing with a sore right shoulder, according to reports. Winker was a late scratch from the lineup ahead of his team's Friday night game against the Houston Astros.

Tommy Pham Late Scratch After Pregame Incident

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Tommy Pham was a late scratch ahead of his team's Friday night game against the San Francisco Giants. Pham was involved in a pregame altercation with Giants outfielder Joc Pederson and apparently slapped the latter during Cincinnati's batting practice ahead of the game. The incident reportedly stemmed from a disagreement in the […]

Taylor Ward Returns, Shohei Ohtani Out Friday

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Taylor Ward (shoulder) is back in the starting lineup on Friday, while designated hitter Shohei Ohtani (back) is on the bench against Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Alek Manoah.

Guardians-Tigers Postponed Friday

The game between the Cleveland Guardians and the Detroit Tigers on Friday has been postponed due to inclement weather and will be made up as the second game of a split doubleheader on July 4 at 6:30 pm, following the originally scheduled game at 1:10 pm. Fantasy managers need to remove any players from these […]

Rockies-Nationals Postponed Friday

The game on Friday between the Colorado Rockies and Washington Nationals has been postponed due to inclement weather. It will be made up as part of a doubleheader on Saturday. Fantasy managers need to make sure to remove any players from these two teams that they may have had in their starting lineups for Friday's […]

Jesse Winker Scratched Late Friday

Seattle Mariners outfielder Jesse Winker was originally in the lineup to face Houston Astros right-hander Justin Verlander but was taken out for unspecified reasons. This move doesn't seem strategic, as Winker has been much better against righties in his career. There should be more details soon, but for now, get Winker out of your lineup […]

Avisail Garcia Headed To Injured List

Miami Marlins outfielder Avisail Garcia was placed on the injured list without a designation on Friday. When this happens, it is safe to assume that the player either tested positive for COVID-19 or was feeling under the weather. There is no way to know when he will return until we know more about the situation, […]

Marcell Ozuna Returns To Lineup Friday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Marcell Ozuna (abdomen) is batting third and playing left field against Marlins lefty Trevor Rogers on Friday night. Ozuna missed Thursday's game against the Phillies with lower abdominal tightness, but he is ready to go Friday. He hasn't lived up to expectations so far this season, with just a .669 OPS. That […]

Aaron Hicks Absent Against Rays

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks (hamstring) remains out of the starting lineup on Friday against the Tampa Bay Rays. Hicks was planning to return on Friday, but instead he'll miss his second straight game with right hamstring tightness. Fantasy managers should consider the 32-year-old to be day-to-day. With Hicks out again, Miguel Andujar will […]

Travis Jankowski Has Surgery On Fractured Hand

New York Mets outfielder Travis Jankowski (hand) had surgery on Friday to fix a metacarpal fracture on his left hand. The Mets placed him on the 10-day injured list, and he's expected to miss six to eight weeks. In corresponding moves, the team recalled right-handed pitchers Stephen Nogosek and Yoan Lopez from the minors. Jankowski […]

Jahmai Jones Has Tommy John Surgery

Baltimore Orioles second baseman/outfielder Jahmai Jones (elbow) underwent successful Tommy John surgery on his right elbow on Friday, according to the team. The procedure was performed by Dr. Timothy Kremchek in Cincinnati. Jones initially went on the injured list in the minor leagues in the middle of May due to right elbow inflammation, and he'll […]

Tommy Pham Plates Three Runs In Thursday's Blowout

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Tommy Pham drove in three of the 20 runs that the club scored in Thursday's 20-5 win over the Chicago Cubs. He was 2-for-4 with a double and also scored a pair of runs.

Juan Soto Hitless For Third Straight Game

Washington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto has been in the midst of a cold stretch at the plate. He's gone 0-for-9 over his last three games, though he's at least managed to draw four walks over that three-game stretch. The 23-year-old is slashing .224/.347/.412 over the month of May as a whole and he hasn't homered […]

Andrew Vaughn Logs Five RBI In Loss

Chicago White Sox outfielder Andrew Vaughn picked up a career-high five RBI on Thursday night, although it wasn't nearly enough as his club fell to the Red Sox 16-7. The 24-year-old came up to the plate in the third with the bases loaded and then cleared them with a double to right before following that […]

Alex Verdugo Tallies Four Hits Thursday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Alex Verdugo went 4-for-6 at the dish on Thursday night to help pace the offense to a 16-7 win over the White Sox. He swatted a pair of run-scoring doubles in the first and fifth inning, and later added an RBI single to give him three RBI and two runs scored […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (5/27/22): Today's Top MLB DFS Lineups

After another high-scoring slate last night it seems like the bats around the league are finally warming up. But there were also a number of really solid pitching performances, too, so you needed some guys like Aaron Nola and Frankie Montas in your lineups last night to really do some damage in GPPs. Here we […]

Aaron Hicks Plans To Return Friday

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks (hamstring), who was scratched from the starting lineup on Thursday against the Tampa Bay Rays with right hamstring tightness, said he feels like he'll return to the lineup on Friday against the Rays and left-hander Jeffrey Springs. "That's what I'm planning on," Hicks said. With Hicks sidelined Thursday, infielder […]

Ronald Acuna Jr. Won't Play Friday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (quadriceps) will not play again on Friday against the Miami Marlins, according to manager Brian Snitker. Acuna will miss his third straight game with a strained quadriceps, and it remains to be seen if this will be an injury that puts him on the injured list. The 24-year-old superstar […]

Victor Reyes Resumes Running On Thursday

Detroit Tigers outfielder Victor Reyes (quad) started running on Thursday. He was placed on the 10-day injured list after suffering a right quad injury two weeks ago. The 27-year-old continues to progress and will likely begin a rehab assignment soon. He is slashing .292/.346/.458 with four RBI and one run scored over 11 games in […]

Teoscar Hernandez Not Starting Thursday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez is not in the starting lineup against the Los Angeles Angels on Thursday night. Hernandez is just 6-for-60 with a homer, five RBI, two walks and 18 strikeouts in 15 games in the month of May to drop his season line to a very disappointing .152/.212/.253 with two home […]

Ramon Laureano Back In Action Thursday

Oakland Athletics outfielder Ramon Laureano (hand) is back in right field and is hitting leadoff on Thursday evening against Texas Rangers left-hander Martin Perez. Laureano missed his fourth straight game on Wednesday when he was scratched from the starting lineup after he had trouble gripping a bat. But a CT scan turned up negative and […]

Cody Bellinger Returns From Illness

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Cody Bellinger (illness) is back in center field and is hitting seventh on Thursday night against Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Humberto Castellanos. Bellinger was scratched from the lineup due to a non-COVID-19 illness on Tuesday and he also missed Wednesday's contest. The 26-year-old left-handed slugger has continued to be an all-or-nothing hitter […]

Taylor Ward Sitting Against Blue Jays

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Taylor Ward (neck, shoulder) is not in the starting lineup on Thursday night against the Toronto Blue Jays. It will be the fifth straight game that Ward has missed as he deals with neck and shoulder issues, although his MRI exam came back clean on Wednesday. If the 28-year-old misses any […]
