Gonzalez hasn't been as good as he was last year and is hitting .247/.324/.409 with 14 home runs and 58 RBI on the year. Still, he can be useful in […]

Jose Iglesias May Not Return This Year

Detroit Tigers shortstop Jose Iglesias (abdomen) has not improved from his lower abdominal strain. "He hasn't done anything on the field, anything like that," manager Ron Gardenhire said.

Buy or Sell - Undervalued and Overvalued Players for Week 24

The baseball season is on its last legs, but it's never too late to buy or sell from the plethora of talented players available in fantasy baseball waiver pools.

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (9/7/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

Happy Friday, Rotoballers. Boy, do we have a ridiculous treat today in terms of pitching options on this 14-game Main slate. I'd go as far as to say it's a pitching bonanza. I don't think I've had a chance to do a write-up - or even seen, for that matter - a slate with seven […]

Week 24 Waiver Wire: H2H Category Streamers

I like to consider myself a pioneer of the streaming approach. I won a league about seven years ago by completely ignoring saves and just stacking up the starts each week. While streaming is undoubtedly more directly associated with pitching, there's plenty of value in streaming for offense as well. Maybe you have a stacked […]

Atlanta Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson (head) is back in the starting lineup on Wednesday after being hit in the head by a pitch on Tuesday and sitting out on Wednesday.

Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story was the man of the night on Wednesday as he drilled three home runs to lead the team over the Giants.

Jean Segura Hitting .377 Over Last 15 Games

Seattle Mariners shortstop Jean Segura went 0-for-5 Tuesday night in the Mariners 5-3 loss to the Orioles. Segura has been dynamite recently, hitting .377 over his last 15 games played.

Carlos Correa Mired In Deep Slump

Houston Astros shortstop Carlos Correa went 0-for-3 Tuesday with a walk and a strikeout in the Astros 5-2 win over the Twins.

Jose Iglesias To Come Off DL Sunday Or Monday

Detroit Tigers shortstop Jose Iglesias (abdomen) is on track to come off the disabled list on Sunday or Monday, barring setbacks.

Dansby Swanson Available Off Of The Bench On Wednesday

Atlanta Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson (head) is not in Wednesday's starting lineup, but Braves manager Brian Snitker said the 24-year-old will be available off of the bench if need be.

Adeiny Hechavarria Smacks First Home Run With Yankees

Seeing regular action since arriving with the New York Yankees at the beginning of this month, shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria entered Tuesday night's game as a defensive substitution.
