Marcus Semien Drives In Five On Tuesday

Toronto Blue Jays second baseman Marcus Semien popped his 19th long ball of the season during the club's 9-3 victory over the Mariners on Tuesday. He finished the day going 3-for-5 with a two-run double in the first to get the scoring started, and he followed that up by slugging a three-run bomb in the […]

Indians-Tigers Postponed Tuesday

The contest between the Cleveland Indians and Detroit Tigers has been postponed due to inclement weather on Tuesday. The two teams will play a doubleheader on Wednesday. The pitching matchup between Tigers right-hander Jose Urena and Indians right-hander J.C. Mejia will have to wait until Wednesday. If you haven't already, remove any players from this […]

Miguel Rojas Expected Back In Lineup On Wednesday

Miami Marlins shortstop Miguel Rojas (illness) is expected to be back in the lineup on Wednesday as the team continues its series against the Philadelphia Phillies. The Marlins said Rojas is day-to-day with a non-COVID-19-related illness similar to a cold that teammate Sandy Alcantara suffered from last weekend, but he should be fine by game […]

Mauricio Dubon Optioned To Triple-A

The San Francisco Giants optioned Mauricio Dubon to Triple-A on Tuesday while also recalling infielder Thairo Estrada. Dubon had played second base, third base, shortstop and center field for San Francisco this season but struggled at the plate. The 26-year-old hit just .234 with a .272 on-base percentage, five home runs and a pair of […]

Miguel Rojas Not In Tuesday's Lineup

Miami Marlins shortstop Miguel Rojas is not in the lineup for Tuesday's series-opener against the Philadelphia Phillies. Rojas is dealing with a finger injury, but he's seemed healthy and this may just be one of manager Don Mattingly's "scheduled" days off. It certainly goes against his, "we need to win all of our games" speech […]

Champ or Chump: Trevor Story

With the announcement that Trevor Story would participate in the 2021 Home Run Derby, fantasy managers were given an opportunity to consider the strange season he's having. The combination of nine homers and 14 SB delivers plenty of fantasy value, but his .254/.327/.443 triple-slash line is far short of expectations for a guy who hit […]

Statcast Hitter Studs and Duds - xBA Analysis for Week 14

It's been a while since we delved into xBA. We're now halfway through the season so it's a good time to see whose batting average is due for course correction, whether it be positive or negative. Often, although not always, players with sizeable discrepancies in BA-xBA are due for regression. Identifying these outliers can be […]

J.P. Crawford (SS, SEA) - Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 28% of leagues ANALYSIS: Crawford's 12-game hitting streak came to an end on Sunday, but he still got on base. That means Crawford has been on base at least once in every game since June 10. He has raised his average 31 points in the month […]

Willy Adames (SS, MIL) - Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 20% of leagues ANALYSIS: Most of you drafted, and gave up on, Adames already this season. It's understandable. At the time of his trade to Milwaukee for relievers J.P. Feyereisen and Drew Rasmussen, Adames was slashing an atrocious .197/.254/.371, by far the lowest marks of his […]

Brandon Crawford Hits 17th Home Run Of Season Monday

San Francisco Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford continued his power surge in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Dodgers, going 1-for-4 with a solo home run. Crawford blasted a sixth-inning Trevor Bauer fastball to deep straight-away center for his 17th HR on the season. The veteran is having a huge season, slashing .252/.337/.531 with 51 RBI and […]

Ronald Torreyes Collects Two RBI Versus Reds

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Ronald Torreyes went 1-for-4 with two RBI in a loss to the Reds on Monday. It was a good game for the utility infielder who drove in his runs with a hit and an RBI groundout, but he's not someone to prioritize in fantasy. Torreyes is batting .271 but that comes with […]

Willy Adames Crushes 11th Home Run In Victory

Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Willy Adames went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run in Monday's 14-4 win over the Cubs. Adames took Trevor Megill deep in the eighth inning. The Cubs intentionally walked Christian Yelich and Adames made them pay by slamming a three-run blast to extend the lead. The 25-year-old is slashing .286/.357/.516 with six […]

Carlos Correa Exits After Hit By Pitch

Houston Astros shortstop Carlos Correa (knee) exited Monday night's contest in the ninth inning after being hit by a pitch on the knee, according to Brian McTaggart of MLB.com. Given the fact that this occurred in the bottom of the ninth inning, it's possible that the early exit was a precautionary move, and that he […]

Paul DeJong Hits His 10th Home Run On Monday

St. Louis Cardinals shortstop Paul DeJong hit his 10th home run of the season in Monday's win over the Arizona Diamondbacks. DeJong ended up going 1-for-2 with a walk and a two-run homer. DeJong has been having a really rough season, batting just .171 with a .631 OPS. DeJong has shown that he can be […]

Richie Martin Moving Toward A Return

Baltimore Orioles shortstop Richie Martin (wrist) is expected to start hitting by the middle of July. The oft-injured speedster has been plagued by a broken left wrist, which he sustained during an outing at Triple-A Norfolk over a month ago. At the moment, Martin has little-to-no fantasy value in anything outside of dynasty formats. However, […]

Dodgers To Slow Play Corey Seager's Rehab

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that shortstop Corey Seager's (hand) fracture "just isn't responding" like the team had hoped. Seager has not swung a bat since last week. "He can still feel it when he hits. We're going to put [hitting] on back-burner and slow-play it right now," Roberts said. The 27-year-old has […]

Jean Segura Could Return On Tuesday

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Jean Segura (groin) continues to improve, and if everything goes well on Monday, he could be activated from the injured list on Tuesday. Segura has missed two weeks with a Grade 1 left groin strain but has made really good progress. Fantasy managers will be very happy when he returns, as Segura […]

Amed Rosario Collects Two Hits Sunday

Cleveland Indians shortstop and outfielder Amed Rosario went 2-for-3 with a walk and a double in Sunday's 8-2 loss to the Minnesota Twins. Rosario is closing out a solid month in which he has hit .302 with 16 runs scored and three stolen bases. He makes for a nice add in deeper leagues and AL-only […]

Trevor Story Will Take Part In Home Run Derby

Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story said that he will participate in this year's Home Run Derby. With the All-Star festivities taking place at Coors Field in Colorado this year, Story will predictably be the team's representative in the Derby. Fantasy managers have been a bit disappointed with the 28-year-old this year from a power perspective, […]

Dansby Swanson Doubles And Walks In Sunday's Win

Atlanta Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson reached base twice in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Cincinnati Reds. He went 1-for-3 in the game with a double and a walk. Swanson has had a disappointing year offensively so far. Through 77 games, he's slashing .234/.289/.440 with 13 home runs, four stolen bases, 34 RBI and 32 runs. […]

Javier Baez Hits 18th Home Run

Chicago Cubs shortstop Javier Baez went 1-for-3 with a walk and solo home run in Sunday's loss versus the Los Angeles Dodgers. The home run would be his 18th of the season. In addition to his 18th home run, Baez is hitting .228 with 47 RBI and nine stolen bases. The upcoming free agent continues […]

Trea Turner Hits His 12th Home Run On Sunday

Washington Nationals shortstop Trea Turner went 1-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Miami Marlins. The home run was his 12th of the year, but only his second in the month of June. Over 75 games on the year, Turner is slashing .309/.360/.478 with 16 stolen bases, 44 […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (6/28/21): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

We have a solid nine-game slate tonight. It would be 11, but FanDuel deemed the early starts in Colorado and Cincinnati offensive and left them off the slate. Too bad. We don't get Coors on this slate. Don't worry. There are still some decent options out there. We'll start where we always do: with the […]

Ramon Urias Hits RBI Double Sunday

Baltimore Orioles second baseman/shortstop Ramon Urias got to work right away in his first game since early June, going 1-for-3 with a double, an RBI, and a walk in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Blue Jays. Urias was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk Sunday with Freddy Galvis (quadriceps) heading to the injured list. Urias has done […]

Xander Bogaerts Scores Twice Sunday

Boston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts scored two more runs Sunday, going 2-for-4 with a double against the New York Yankees. Bogaerts now has a modest three-game hit streak and has scored five runs in that span. He's elevated his OPS all the way to .948, and his 13 home runs, five steals, 48 runs, […]
