Sauceda's Slants: Folding Aces

There are very few Fantasy experiences more pleasing than hitting on a late-round sleeper or sneaky waiver acquisition — not unlike the experience of finding a twenty-dollar bill in your pocket that you had completely forgotten. When landing these types of players, common refrain tends to be, “sell high!” But for anyone who’s played in […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (6/8/19): MLB DFS Lineups

Mitch Moreland Leaves Early Friday

Boston Red Sox first baseman Mitch Moreland (quadriceps) left the game early on Friday with right quadriceps tightness.

Boston Red Sox outfielder J.D. Martinez (back), who left the game early with back spasms on Thursday, is being listed as day-to-day. Manager Alex Cora said Martinez is feeling better and hopes to return on Saturday. The injury may limit how much the team uses him in the outfield moving forward. Eduardo Nunez is serving […]

J.D. Martinez Removed With Back Spasms Thursday

Boston Red Sox designated hitter J.D. Martinez left Thursday's contest against the Kansas City Royals with back spasms. Sam Travis pinch-hit for Martinez in the fifth inning.
