DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (9/11/20) - MLB DFS Lineups

We head into Friday night with a 10 game slate on tap starting at the unusual time of 8:05. A slate with a few top-end arms and a lot of places to attack with bats. There is some spotty weather that could factor in, so keep an eye on weather reports during the day before […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (9/11/20): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

Another Friday means another jam-packed MLB slate with a plethora of aces taking the hill. Shane Bieber, Lucas Giolito, Kenta Maeda, and Luis Castillo headline the pitching. Those four pitchers rank second through fifth in the league in swinging-strike rate which is among my favorite metrics for evaluating a pitcher's skill. With so many top-flight […]

James Paxton Shut Down Again After Side Session

New York Yankees left-handed pitcher James Paxton is what manager Aaron Boone describes as “a little sore” after throwing his most recent session Wednesday. That soreness will force him to sit at least the next few days, further clouding his timeline for a potential return prior to the start of the postseason. Fantasy managers hanging […]

Luke Voit Absent From Thursday's Lineup

New York Yankees first baseman Luke Voit is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. It is just a regular rest day for the 29-year-old slugger.

Gio Urshela To Be Activated On Tuesday

New York Yankees third baseman Gio Urshela (elbow) hit on Thursday and is expected to rejoin the lineup on Tuesday, according to manager Aaron Boone. Urshela will miss the minimum 10 days assuming he avoids setbacks, and his return to the lineup puts Miguel Andujar’s playing time in question. Regardless, Urshela will look to continue […]

James Paxton Throws Again On Wednesday

New York Yankees starting pitcher James Paxton (forearm) threw again on Wednesday but won’t progress to throwing from a mound until this weekend at the earliest, according to manager Aaron Boone.

Brett Gardner Hitless Again On Wednesday

New York Yankees outfielder Brett Gardner went 0-for-3 with a walk against the Blue Jays on Wednesday. Wednesday’s performance extended Gardner’s hitless streak to four games, and he’s now gone without a hit in 23 of his 36 games this season.
