2020 K% Risers: Buy, Sell, or Hold

Heading into Thursday's action, most teams had played at least 15 games, officially passing the quarter-pole of the 2020 season and giving us a large group of players that have reached at least 60 plate appearances. This is an important milestone in terms of looking at strikeout rates, as the metric is one of the […]

Pirates and Reds Game On Saturday Postponed

Saturday's scheduled game between the Pittsburgh Pirates and Cincinnati Reds has been postponed in the wake of one player on the Reds testing positive for COVID-19. It remains questionable whether Sunday's contest between the two teams will also be postponed. Owners in leagues with daily lineups should be sure to sit any Reds and Pirates […]

Cincinnati Reds Player Tests Positive For COVID-19

News broke in the early hours of this morning that a member of the Cincinnati Reds had tested positive for COVID-19. While there hasn't been a formal announcement on the status of the team's games against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Saturday and Sunday yet, it's safe to expect the two teams won't be playing the […]

Gleyber Torres Collects Four Hits On Friday

New York Yankees shortstop Gleyber Torres went 4-for-4 against the Red Sox on Friday, giving him eight hits over his last six games. Torres got off to an awful start to the season with only five hits over his first 12 games, and his performance over the rest of the season should look more like […]

Bo Bichette Extends Hitting Streak To Eight Games

After a 5-for-5 performance on Wednesday, Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette continued his hot streak going 2-for-5 in Friday’s 12-4 win over the Rays. He slugged a three-run homer for his fifth blast of the season during the rout, upping his slash line to an impressive .356/.387/.678 through 13 games. Bichette was a bit […]

Brendan Rodgers Could Get A Shot At Second Base

Colorado Rockies middle infielder Brendan Rodgers could get a shot at the keystone in the big leagues with Ryan McMahon slumping and Chris Owings (hamstring) injured. Colorado has been using Garrett Hampson to shore up their outfield, which may allow Rodgers to see meaningful at-bats if he's called up. The 24-year-old is the club's best […]

Andrelton Simmons Not Expected Back Until Next Week

Los Angeles Angels shortstop Andrelton Simmons will miss at least the team’s next three games, manager Joe Maddon confirmed Friday. Simmons has been absent from the Angels’ lineup since July 27 due to an ankle injury, and while a return seemed possible this weekend against the Dodgers, he will have to wait until Monday against […]

Corey Seager Cleared To Return To Shortstop Friday

Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Corey Seager has gotten the thumbs up to man the shortstop spot Friday against the Angels and left-hander Patrick Sandoval. Seager returned to the lineup Thursday as the designated hitter after a six-day layoff due to a recurring calf ailment. The 26-year-old has been clobbering the ball thus far in 2020, […]

Donovan Solano Returns To Starting Lineup Friday

San Francisco Giants infielder Donovan Solano rejoins the team’s lineup Friday against the A’s and left-hander Jesus Luzardo. Solano had been out of the mix since Aug. 10, yet he still leads the Majors with nine doubles. The early part of the 2020 year has been a breakout for the veteran, who is batting a […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (8/14/20): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

Thursday's four-game main slate felt a lot like when you wake up in a hotel that advertised a continental breakfast, but really just had some stale bagels and muffins lying around. Friday, however, provides us a full-brunch bar, omelet station included. We've got a 13 game slate on tap with multiple aces taking the hill, […]

Gavin Lux Could Get A Look In The Near Future

Los Angeles Dodgers middle infielder Gavin Lux, baseball's No. 2 prospect, could get a call to the big leagues in the near future with shortstop Corey Seager (back) missing the last six games and with the Dodgers not getting much production out of their other left-handed hitters. Lux was the preseason favorite to win the […]

Cardinals To Return To Play On Saturday

The St. Louis Cardinals will return to the field on Saturday for a double header against the Chicago White Sox. The Cardinals have not played since July 29 and have played just five games this season. Assuming no more positive COVID-19 tests, the Cardinals will be playing a lot of games in not a lot […]

Corey Seager Goes Deep In Return To Lineup

Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Corey Seager was 1-for-4 with a two-run home run during Thursday's blowout win over the San Diego Padres. Seager had missed the previous six games with lower back tightness. The 26-year-old has been crushing the baseball to start the 2020 season, leading the entire MLB in barrels per plate appearance. Seager […]

Too Good To Be True? Buying/Selling Hot Pitching Starts

Last week, we dove into the hitters who were off to hot starts and tried to decide what was real and what wasn't as sustainable. Now we'll turn our attention to the arms. After two full weeks of baseball, we're over 20% done with the season, more FAAB dollars are being spent than ever before, and […]

Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Corey Seager (back) will make his return to the lineup for Thursday's series finale against the Padres.

Jorge Mateo Activated Thursday, Set For Major League Debut

San Diego Padres utilityman Jorge Mateo will join the big league roster ahead of Thursday’s contest against the Dodgers after having been held out thus far in 2020 due to a positive COVID-19 test. Mateo broke out offensively last season at Triple-A, compiling 62 extra-base hits in 119 games to lead to a career-best .834 […]

Jean Segura Hitting Second On Thursday

Philadelphia Phillies infielder Jean Segura will be hitting second in the order for Thursday's game against the Baltimore Orioles with right hander Tom Eshelman on the mound.

Amed Rosario Gets Backing As He Remains Sidelined

New York Mets shortstop Amed Rosario will be absent from the starting nine Thursday against Washington for the third consecutive game as he battles the after-effects of a stomach flu.
