The Baller Ranks: Top 200 Hitters Weekly Rankings (Week 7)

The past week brought us one of the coolest trade deadlines in recent memory. It's always a good time when the GM of an MLB franchise starts making trades like a fantasy manager. The changes for Austin Nola, Mitch Moreland, Jonathan Villar, Starling Marte, and Jon Berti are meaningful, but not with clear fantasy implications. […]

Mookie Betts Hits 12th Homer On Wednesday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Adam Duvall was 3-for-4 with three home runs and five RBI during Wednesday's 7-5 win over the Boston Red Sox.

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (9/3/20): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

There are nine games set to take place Thursday, yet just four of those contests will be available on the FanDuel main slate. Of course, those games differ both in number and start time from what DraftKings will be offering, making this a unique four-game slate. Much of the attention will be centered around Clayton […]

Mike Yastrzemski Hits Eighth Home Run Of Season Wednesday

San Francisco Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski had a nice day at the plate in Wednesday's 9-6 loss to the Rockies, going 3-for-5 with two singles, a solo home run, two RBI, and a strikeout. Yastrzemski got the game started off, taking Kyle Freeland deep in the first inning for his eighth HR of the season. […]

Lourdes Gurriel Jr. Provides Only Offense For Blue Jays

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. clubbed a two-run home run in Wednesday's contest versus the Marlins, which proved to be enough in the team's 2-1 victory. He took pitching prospect Sixto Sanchez deep for his fifth long ball of the season as he finished the night going 2-for-3 with a strikeout. Gurriel got […]

Jay Bruce Homers Vs Nationals

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Jay Bruce launched his sixth homer of the season in a win vs the Nationals Wednesday. It was Bruce's second home run in as many starts since being activated off the Injured List Monday. The veteran outfielder is slugging a strong .535 on the season and has proved to be a cheap […]

Max Kepler Exits Game With Apparent Injury

Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler was removed in the third inning Wednesday’s game after looking uncomfortable running the bases in the second inning. Kepler fouled a ball off of his foot on August 26, and although he’s played in four games since then, his foot may be bothering him again. Fantasy players should treat Kepler […]

Greg Allen Draws First Start With Padres

New San Diego Padres outfielder Greg Allen is starting and batting ninth Wednesday against the Los Angeles Angels. Part of the blockbuster trade with the Cleveland Indians for starter Mike Clevinger, Allen will immediately see action with Wil Myers (undisclosed) surprisingly added to the IL. The 27-year-old San Diego native offers little offensive value with […]

Wil Myers, Emilio Pagan Hit Injured List

The San Diego Padres placed outfielder Wil Myers (undisclosed) and reliever Emilio Pagan (biceps) on the injured list on Wednesday. Myers’ injury is a surprise after he homered on Monday, but the team believes he’ll be back “shortly.” He’s enjoying an excellent campaign with a .967 OPS and nine homers. Right field will likely be […]

Alex Avila, Byron Buxton Absent From Wednesday’s Lineup

Minnesota Twins catcher Alex Avila was scratched from the starting nine Wednesday against the White Sox and right-hander Reynaldo Lopez with Ryan Jeffers taking over behind the dish. Also out of the lineup is center fielder Byron Buxton, whom the team is just giving a day off after he returned from the IL on Tuesday. […]

Cody Bellinger Remains Out Of Lineup Wednesday

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman/outfielder Cody Bellinger is out of the mix again Wednesday against the D-backs and right-hander Zac Gallen as he battles a lat strain. Manager Dave Roberts noted that Bellinger was able to take swings Wednesday, an indication that he may be available to return Thursday when LA faces righty Luke Weaver, […]

Ronald Acuna Jr. Set To Return To Lineup Friday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. will get back among the starting nine for Friday’s contest against the Nationals after a hamstring ailment forced him to exit early Sunday. Acuna did not need a stint on the injured list, although the team has remained cautious with pushing it’s franchise cornerstone. Over his last seven games, […]

Joe Musgrove, Bryan Reynolds Return To Roster Wednesday

The Pittsburgh Pirates get two key contributors back Wednesday with right-hander Joe Musgrove (triceps) set to take the mound after being activated off of the injured list, while outfielder Bryan Reynolds also rejoins the team after a stint on the paternity list. Musgrove will start against the Cubs on Wednesday, marking his first outing since Aug. […]

Dexter Fowler Lands On IL, To Miss Multiple Weeks

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Dexter Fowler was placed on the injured list prior to Wednesday’s contest against Cincinnati due to concerns about possible exposure to COVID-19. Fowler is taking a medication that could potentially compromise his immune system, with his placement on the IL serving as a precautionary measure. Lane Thomas and Dylan Carlson figure […]

Dexter Fowler Goes On The Injured List

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Dexter Fowler was placed on the injured list on Wednesday. Fowler takes a medication for his stomach that leaves him somewhat immunocompromised, so of course the team did not want to take any chances with COVID-19 still raging. He's expected to be able to rejoin the team soon after the 10 […]

Brandon Lowe Sits Wednesday Amid Brief Slump

Tampa Bay Rays second baseman/outfielder Brandon Lowe is not among the starting nine for Wednesday’s contest against the Yankees and left-hander Jordan Montgomery. Lowe has gone 0-for-12 over his last three outings, so despite his reverse splits in 2020 (1.125 OPS vs. LHP), Mike Brosseau will man the keystone in his absence. Lowe’s breakout campaign […]

Kris Bryant Sits Wednesday, Cameron Maybin Enters Lineup

Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant will not be among the club’s starting nine for Wednesday’s contest against the Pirates and right-handed pitcher Joe Musgrove. Bryant’s absence paves the way for David Bote to hold down the hot corner, but also for Cameron Maybin to make his first start with the club and for Steven […]

JaCoby Jones Fractures Left Hand, Done For 2020

Detroit Tigers outfielder JaCoby Jones will miss the remainder of the 2020 season due to a left hand fracture that he sustained Tuesday. Outfield prospect Derek Hill has been recalled to take Jones’ place on the active roster and will likely see some run in center field alongside Victor Reyes without Jones in the mix. […]
