Robbie Grossman Collects Third Stolen Base

Oakland Athletics outfielder Robbie Grossman went 1-for-3 with two walks and a stolen base in a loss to the Angels Monday. Grossman is slashing a cool .282/.429/.513 through 49 plate appearances this season while manning the six-hole in a good A's lineup that should give Grossman plenty more RBI opportunities this season. The switch-hitter wasn't […]

Roman Quinn Blasts First Homer Of Season

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Roman Quinn had a big night Monday going 3-for-4 with his first homer of the season in a win vs Atlanta. Quinn has been hitting well to start the season with a .303 batting average through eight games. He has been seeing more playing time than Adam Haseley thus far, but has […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (8/11/20): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

Whether owners will get a true “complete” slate at any stage in 2020 as the league adjusts to the COVID-19 pandemic on the fly remains to be seen, but Tuesday is a close microcosm of what a packed house main slate will look like. In addition to having to combat Coors Field, Max Scherzer and […]

Kyle Lewis Collects Three Hits Monday

Seattle Mariners outfielder Kyle Lewis went 3-for-5 with a home run, three RBI, two runs and a walk in Monday's win over the Rangers. Lewis has been hot since the season started and has been showing no signs of cooling off lately as he has reached base in all but one game this season. Lewis […]

Bryce Harper Has Big Night Vs Braves

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper had a huge night Monday, leading the charge in a rout of the Braves. Harper took Braves starter Sean Newcomb deep in the first inning for a three run homer and the Phillies never looked back en route to 13 runs. On the night, Harper went 2-for-3 with three runs […]

Yankees To Call Up Clint Frazier

New York Yankees outfielder Clint Frazier is likely to be called up from the team’s alternate site prior to Tuesday’s game. Giancarlo Stanton’s move to the IL has opened up some playing time in the Yankee lineup, but it’s still unlikely that Frazier sees regular playing time. Mike Ford figures to be the primary DH […]

H2H Points League Pickups, Waiver Adds: Week 4

Another wild and wacky week in MLB, though it was tamer than the week before. Any week that a new team doesn't disappear from the schedule after a COVID outbreak is a good week, right? We're still at the point of the season where the waiver wire is littered with positional players who are excelling […]

Outfield Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 4

It's easy to hyper-analyze slow starts with nearly a quarter of the season gone (for some teams, at least), but it's important to keep in mind that teams have played fewer than 20 games. That's an extremely small sample of performance, and overreactions to poor early results have left some likely to be productive outfielders […]

The Cut List (Week 4) - Time to Let Go?

The season is about one-quarter over for the luckiest teams, who have played up to 14 games out of 60. Meanwhile, the Cardinals have played all of five. If only you could have known beforehand which teams would be asymmetrically affected by the current health situation. But while we're dealing with small samples, they represent […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (8/10/20): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

We kick start a new week with nine games on the main slate for FanDuel. That leaves us with a very high-salary pitcher (Patrick Corbin $10,800) and some middle-tier arms. It's always nice to have more high-upside options, but we can still grab Dustin May or Kyle Gibson to anchor our teams. I could go […]

Dylan Moore Homers Sunday

Seattle Mariners outfielder Dylan Moore went 1-for-3 with a homer run, two RBI and was hit by a pitch in Sunday's win over the Rockies. Moore has been off to a great start to 2020 with a triple slash of .293/.326/.610 with three home runs and three stolen bases. Since making his 2020 debut on […]

Jesse Winker Goes Yard Sunday

Cincinnati Reds DH Jesse Winker had a big afternoon in a 9-3 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday. Winker went 3-for-4 with a double, a homer, two runs, and two RBI. The double and homer were sorely needed for Winker, who came into the game with just one extra-base hit (a double) in 36 […]

Lane Thomas Latest Cardinal To Test Positive For COVID-19

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Lane Thomas is the most recent name released as a positive test for COVID-19 within the organization. The Cardinals have played just five games this season due to an outbreak, with their upcoming series against the Pirates already wiped out. Thomas has gone hitless in four plate appearances this season as […]

Giants Add Luis Alexander Basabe To Pipeline

Outfield prospect Luis Alexander Basabe has been acquired by the San Francisco Giants after he was designated for assignment by the White Sox last Friday. Basabe now joins the Giants at their alternate training site, and while it is unclear if he’ll be tabbed for his big league debut, San Francisco sees the switch-hitting outfielder […]

Wil Myers' Redemption Tour Keeps Rolling On

San Diego Padres outfielder Wil Myers went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer in Sunday’s victory against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The 29-year-old stayed hot, pounding a first-inning offering from starter Madison Bumgarner into the stands before later singling. Through 60 plate appearances, Myers has gone yard five times with 21 runs-plus-RBI and a steal while slashing […]

David Dahl Has Seen Power Zapped Early In Season

Colorado Rockies outfielder David Dahl is still waiting for his power stroke to arrive in 2020, having compiled a .606 OPS through his first 14 appearances. In addition to being homer-less, Dahl isn’t hitting the ball particularly hard, ranking in the bottom five percent of the league in Hard Hit rate (22.7%). Curiously enough, Dahl […]

Charlie Blackmon On Historic Pace At Plate In 2020

Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon is a four-time All-Star who has a batting title to his credit, but he is on pace to potentially make history in 2020. Following another multi-hit contest Sunday, Blackmon is hitting a Major League-best .458 this year and is also tied for the NL led with 18 RBI. No hitter […]

Starling Marte Wrecking Fastballs To Kickstart Hot Open To Year

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Starling Marte soared up draft boards in 2020 after having a bounce-back campaign last year with Pittsburgh. Early returns for the D-backs are encouraging, as Marte has hit .347 with a .958 OPS through his first 15 games. Fastballs have been particularly appetizing, as he has hit .483 against the hard stuff […]

Adam Eaton Slumping Since Opening Day Blast

Washington Nationals outfielder Adam Eaton got off to a hot start in 2020, homering in his first plate appearance against Yankees ace Gerrit Cole. Since then, essentially nothing has gone right at the dish, as he has hit .222 through his first 12 games with a .626 OPS. Eaton is striking out at a higher […]

Ramon Laureano Charges Bench Sunday, Suspension Likely

Oakland Athletics center fielder Ramon Laureano was hit by a pitch for the second time Sunday during the seventh inning against Houston, which led to him storming the Astros’ dugout, which sparked a bench-clearing melee. A significant suspension is likely on the horizon for Laureano -- in addition to the others who participated -- as […]
