FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (9/22/20): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

It may officially be playoff push time around MLB, but that hasn’t stopped clubs from starting a wide array of talent Tuesday. Back in July, if you could have predicted a slate where the trio of Zach Davies, Framber Valdez, and Brady Singer were the top three starting pitchers in terms of salary, you’re likely […]

Kyle Schwarber Drives In Two On Monday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Kyle Schwarber went 2-for-4 with a pair of doubles on Monday against the Pirates. Schwarber was benched on Sunday and he responded in a big way. The outfielder also scored a run and drove in two on the evening. The slugger hasn’t been much of an asset this season to managers and […]

Eloy Jimenez Hits 14th Home Run

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez broke out of a mini slump on Monday with three hits in four at-bats. One of those hits was a home run. The young star is now hitting .297 with 14 home runs and 41 RBI. Jimenez is a strong option in all formats and dynasty owners have to […]

Josh Naylor Leaves Monday's Game Early

Cleveland Indians outfielder Josh Naylor left Monday's game against the Chicago White Sox in the eighth inning with an apparent injury. He awkwardly jammed his leg while sliding into second base after hitting a double. The 23-year-old was 3-for-4 on the night before being replaced by Oscar Mercado. More information about his status will come […]

J.D. Martinez Batting .200 In September

Boston Red Sox outfielder J.D. Martinez has not had a banner 2020 season. He owns a .205/.287/.373 slash line across 185 at-bats, which would all be the worst marks of his MLB career. On top of that, he only has six homers and 23 RBI, which is a shockingly low figure for one of baseball's […]

Mike Trout Stuck In Minor Slump

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout was 1-for-4 with two strikeouts during Monday's 8-5 win over the Texas Rangers. Trout has garnered a hit in seven-straight games, but he is hitting .259 with zero homers over that span. After mashing 11 homers in August, he only has one long ball since Sept. 5. Nevertheless, it […]

David Dahl On The Bench Monday

Colorado Rockies outfielder David Dahl is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the San Francisco Giants. Dahl has alternated appearances since returning to the lineup on Sept. 9. The 26-year-old is slashing .183/.222/.247 during another injury-plagued season. In his absence, Kevin Pillar will start in center field and bat second while Sam […]

Roman Quinn Tossed From Monday’s Contest

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Roman Quinn was ejected from Monday’s game versus Washington after he was called out on strikes in the third. Manager Joe Girardi was ejected right after him by home plate umpire Junior Valentine. Mickey Moniak entered the game to take over for Quinn, whose average dropped to .218 on the year following […]

Jake Marisnick Lands On Injured List

New York Mets outfielder Jake Marisnick (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list prior to Monday’s contest against the Rays due to tightness in his right hamstring. The timing of the injury ends Marisnick’s season at just 16 games played with 34 plate appearances. Despite his extremely limited playing time, Marisnick was able to […]

Jared Oliva Receives First Big League Call-Up Monday

The Pittsburgh Pirates summoned outfielder Jared Oliva from the club’s alternate training site prior to Monday’s contest versus the Cubs. Oliva, ranked as the team’s No. 10 prospect per MLB Pipeline, tagged the ball to the tune of an .886 OPS in 26 Arizona Fall League games last year, all while adding 11 stolen bases. […]

George Springer Sits Monday After Two-Homer Performance

Houston Astros outfielder George Springer clobbered a pair of home runs during Sunday’s win over Arizona, but he finds himself out of the starting nine Monday versus the Mariners and left-hander Marco Gonzales. Instead, Myles Straw will draw the start in center and bat leadoff, giving him DFS punt play appeal at his supremely low […]

Giovanny Gallegos, Dexter Fowler Return To Roster Monday

St. Louis Cardinals right-handed pitcher Giovanny Gallegos (groin) and outfielder Dexter Fowler were both activated off of the injured list prior to Monday’s contest against Kansas City. Gallegos’ return clouds the Cardinals bullpen scene, as he was serving as the club’s closer prior to being placed on the IL. With a 0.79 WHIP and 11.1 K/9, […]

Michael Conforto Absent From Starting Lineup Monday

New York Mets outfielder Michael Conforto is not among the starting nine for Monday’s contest against Tampa Bay and left-hander Josh Fleming. Guillermo Heredia will instead draw the start, with Brandon Nimmo shifting over to right field. While it’s been a breakout 2020 for Conforto with 21 extra-base hits and a .944 OPS in 53 […]

Alex Dickerson Rejoins Lineup Monday

San Francisco Giants outfielder Alex Dickerson was activated off of the paternity list prior to Monday’s contest versus Colorado and right-hander German Marquez. Dickerson will bat leadoff and have considerable DFS appeal due to the .528 SLG that he has amassed over his first 44 appearances. Despite his successes at the dish this year, San […]

Jorge Soler Returns To Lineup Monday

Kansas City Royals outfielder/designated hitter Jorge Soler (oblique) was activated off of the injured list prior to Monday’s contest versus the Cardinals and right-hander Adam Wainwright, slotting immediately into the cleanup spot. Soler has been out of the fold since Sept. 5, but with a .456 SLG through his first 39 games, there’s plenty of […]

Joc Pederson Rejoins Active Roster Monday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Joc Pederson returned off of the family medical emergency leave list Monday, making him eligible to participate when the club next takes the field Tuesday against the A’s. After a near off-season deal, Pederson has scuffled mightily at the dish, batting just .174 with a .644 OPS. With just two extra-base […]

Andrew Stevenson Shifts Up To Leadoff Spot Monday

Washington Nationals outfielder Andrew Stevenson will hit leadoff Monday against Philadelphia and right-hander Zack Wheeler. Stevenson has hit primarily at the bottom of the order during his tenure with the Nationals, but with two steals in seven games this year, he’ll now hit ahead of Trea Turner and Juan Soto, making for an intriguing DFS […]

Kyle Schwarber Returns To Action Monday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Kyle Schwarber is back in the lineup Monday versus Pittsburgh and right-hander JT Brubaker. Schwarber was removed early in Sunday’s contest against Minnesota due to a non-injury reason, manager David Ross made clear during the television broadcast. Schwarber has been in a hefty slump over the past two weeks, having hit just […]

Nick Senzel Absent From Starting Lineup Monday

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Nick Senzel is on the bench to begin Monday’s contest versus Milwaukee and right-hander Brandon Woodruff. Since being activated off of the injured list (undisclosed), Senzel has been a part-time player for the Reds, at best. With Shogo Akiyama and Nick Castellanos holding down near everyday roles at the corner outfield slots, […]

Bryce Harper Among Starting Nine Monday

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper (back) has been cleared to play Monday against Washington and right-hander Anibal Sanchez, batting second in the lineup. Harper exited Sunday’s contest due to lower back tightness, and while he is holding down the designated hitter slot Monday, his presence in the lineup is a positive for fantasy managers who […]
