Taylor Motter is Lone Bright Spot in M's Lineup Sunday

The Seattle Mariners' offense was struggling mightily on Sunday against the Oakland Athletics, as they only came away with two hits all game.

Yankees Top Prospect Gleyber Torres Is On Fire

New York Yankees infield prospect Gleyber Torres continues to tear the cover off of the ball for the Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders. Torres is one of the best prospects in the league and has ten RBI to go along with a .389 batting average. Torres is just 21-years-old, but has one of the best eyes in […]

Christian Arroyo Off To A Sluggish Start

Tampa Bay Rays third base prospect Christian Arroyo has been off to a slow start in Triple-A Durham with his new organization. Arroyo was one of the key pieces in the package in the Evan Longoria deal this offseason with the Giants. Arroyo had a cup of coffee with the Giants last year before going […]

Willy Adames Struggling Early On

Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Willy Adames has struggled so far for Triple-A Durham with a .233 batting average, but there shouldn’t be too much concern for the 22-year-old. Adames has hit at every level he has been at and has a great eye for the strike zone. He has also hit ten or more home […]

Both Yankees Games Postponed Today

After having the second game of their three-game set postponed due to inclement weather yesterday, the New York Yankees were scheduled to play two games against the Detroit Tigers today.

Scott Kingery Once Again Excels

Philadelphia Phillies utility man Scott Kingery has seen hia fantasy stock continue to rise by the game, as he consistently plays different positions around the field while producing results at the plate. Yesterday against the Tampa Bay Rays, the rookie played right field and batted sixth, picking up two hits and driving in two runs. […]

JP Crawford Beginning To Heat Up

Now the primary shortstop of the Philadelphia Phillies, former top organizational prospect JP Crawford is slowly by surely finding his way at the plate. In last night’s 9-4 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays, the club’s fifth straight win overall, Crawford starred at the plate. The 23-year-old drove in the club’s second run of the […]

Eduardo Nunez Getting Rest Day

Boston Red Sox infielder Eduardo Nunez is sitting on Sunday. With the temperatures in the mid-thirties, it is a well-timed day off to alleviate any additional stress for Nunez' knee. He is having a good start to the season batting .271 with seven extra-base hits. Nunez should be back in the lineup on Monday against […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (4/15/18): MLB DFS Lineups

We have an ace-heavy 11 game featured slate this Sunday. There are several quality pitchers on the schedule today, as well as several suspect pitchers. There aren’t many middle tier options on the mound, which means we’ll have to choose our hurlers carefully. We’ve also got weather concerns across the country. As of writing this […]

Hitter Streamers (Week 3) - Head-to-Head Leagues

Adalberto Mondesi To Begin Rehab

Kansas City Royals middle infielder Adalberto Mondesi is expected to begin extended spring training on Saturday. The prospect has been nursing an injured shoulder, and he'll likely be ready to begin a minor-league assignment in about 10 days. Mondesi still packs a rare combination of power and speed that could be hugely valuable up the […]

Javier Baez Continues To Stay Hot

Chicago Cubs second baseman Javier Baez continues to swing a red hot bat at the plate. Baez finished Saturday’s game 1-for-5 with four RBI. Baez led the way in the Cubs monsterous bottom of the eighth inning when he hit a bases loaded double to clear the bases and tie the game at that point. […]

Orlando Arcia To Sit Saturday Against Mets

Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Orlando Arcia will take a customary rest day on Saturday as the Brewers face off against the New York Mets. Arcia has been extremely cold to start this season, with a .159 batting average and a mere .395 OPS. Add in the fact that he has made three errors already for a […]

Ketel Marte Extends Hitting Streak To Eight Games

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte went 2-for-5 with a run scored in Friday's win over the Dodgers. The performance extended his hitting streak to eight games, with five combined in his last two games. Marte is entrenched as the No. 2 hitter and should score plenty of runs in front of Paul Goldschmidt and […]

Manny Machado Drives In Two Runs In Loss To Red Sox

The beautiful thing about fantasy baseball is that it doesn't care when runs are scored. You're not going to be docked if someone you start drives in two runs in the late innings of a game that's well out of hand. That's what Baltimore Orioles shortstop Manny Machado did on Friday night. He doubled in […]

Cleveland Indians shortstop Francisco Lindor had a strong game on Thursday, finishing 2-for-4 with three runs scored and three RBI.

Week 3 Waiver Wire - H2H Category Streamers

I like to consider myself a pioneer of the streaming approach. I won a league about seven years ago 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 roster […]

Elvis Andrus Avoids Surgery

Texas Rangers shortstop Elvis Andrus will not need surgery to recover from a fractured right elbow suffered on a hit by pitch by Angels reliever Kenyon Middleton on Wednesday. The veteran is expected to miss six to eight weeks while on the mend. This is great news for the former All-Star, as surgery would have […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 39% of Yahoo leagues ANALYSIS: Often overlooked by fantasy owners is the value that position flexibility offers for roster construction, and Yangervis Solarte fits that mold. In most leagues, he is at least 2B/SS/3B/MI/CI eligible with other leagues being even more lenient. Without turning this into […]

Jurickson Profar to Get Plenty of Playing Time

Texas Rangers former top prospect Jurickson Profar is the primary beneficiary from a playing-time perspective of recent injuries to starters Rougned Odor and Elvis Andrus.
