Carlos Correa Breaks Out With Home Run

Houston Astros shortstop Carlos Correa finally got in on the Astros offensive fun, powering an opposite-field home run in the team's 11-3 ALDS series winner over the Indians.

Orlando Arcia Plays Adds Homer Sunday Versus Colorado

Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Orlando Arcia concluded a week that had started with him as a hero by adding another moment of production Sunday. With the Brewers up 2-0 in the ninth inning, Arcia would homer to add an extra run to the lead. He had only three homers during the regular season so it was […]

Paul DeJong Has Surgery On His Hand

St. Louis Cardinals shortstop Paul DeJong (hand) had surgery on his hand this week after he fractured his hand in late May. The surgery was done to remove the plate from his hand, which will put him in a cast for another few weeks. DeJong said he'll be fine to resume offseason workouts in a […]

Hernan Perez Starting At Shortstop In Game 2

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Hernan Perez gets the nod at shortstop over Orlando Arcia and will hit sixth against Rockies starter Tyler Anderson in Game 2 of the National League Division Series on Friday. Perez brings more offense than Arcia does, and he hit much better against lefties this year than righties with a .277 average […]

Trevor Story Still A Strong Play

Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story didn't help much in Game 1 of the National League Division Series, but he's still as strong a play that exists on the Rockies roster. Story is hitting .295 with an amazing 11 home runs since the start of September, and he's a danger to every pitcher he faces. Not […]

Carlos Correa Not The Same Player Heading Into Playoffs

Houston Astros shortstop Carlos Correa will head into the playoffs as one of the biggest question marks on the offense. Typing that sentence in 2017 would look insane but Correa has endured a season of injuries and ineffectiveness. A back injury in late June sidelined the All-Star for over a month and simply has not […]

Dansby Swanson, Dan Winkler Not On NLDS Roster

Atlanta Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson (hand) and relief pitcher Dan Winkler were left off the roster for the National League Division Series against the Dodgers.

Troy Tulowitzki Only Wants To Play Shortstop

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Troy Tulowitzki isn't interested in playing any other position besides shortstop. He said he'll "pack (his) bags and go home" if he's expected to play another position. It's unknown if Tulo will see regular at-bats if he's healthy in 2019 with infielders Aledmys Diaz, Lourdes Gurriel and Bo Bichette in the […]

FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (10/3/18): MLB DFS Lineups

For whatever the reason, FanDuel is only running a one game slate, rather than combining today's game with tomorrow's Atlanta - Los Angeles game. So, what we have to work with here is just the contest between the visiting Athletics and host Yankees tonight in the Bronx. The Athletics - adopting from the Tampa Bay […]

Orlando Arcia A Surprise Hero Monday In Tiebreaker

Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Orlando Arcia was considered a slick-fielding shortstop who had some speed but had a batting average in the .230s. Monday, he was batting eighth and would go 4-for-4 while scoring the first two Milwaukee runs (with the second one being the game-winner). The Brewers were last in the league in sacrifice bunts […]

Dansby Swanson Unlikely To Be On NLDS Roster

Atlanta Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson (hand) did not take any swings on Monday and is highly unlikely to be on the team's roster for the National League Division Series against the Dodgers.

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Joey Wendle finished out his case for the American League Rookie of the Year award Sunday versus Toronto. He would go 1-for-3 with a run scored and two drive in.

Andrelton Simmons Out of Sunday's Lineup

Los Angeles Angels shortstop Andrelton Simmons is out of the lineup for the season finale on Sunday. Simmons finishes the 2018 season hitting .292 with 11 home runs and 10 stolen bases. He is replaced by Kaleb Cowart at short, with Sherman Johnson starting at second base. Neither of them represent good options in fantasy […]

Jorge Polanco Scores Twice Saturday

Andrelton Simmons Swipes Tenth Base
