Gio Urshela Hits 10-Day Injured List

New York Yankees infielder Gio Urshela (elbow) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. He has been battling a bone spur in his right elbow over the last week or so. It's unclear how much time he is going to miss at the moment. The Yankees are a bit banged up on the infield, […]

Closers and Saves Report - Week 7 Waiver Wire

In the wild 2020 season, it made sense that we had a somewhat wild 2020 trade deadline. The trade deadline is a legitimate baseball holiday, and without an All-Star Game this year, it became the most exciting day in the regular season. The Padres went wild and made all the headlines, acquiring basically a whole […]

Top 50 Prospects for Fantasy Baseball Redraft: Week 7 Rankings

September is here and the trade deadline dust has settled. It’s now time for teams to make that late push either to make the playoffs or to gain home-field advantages.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (9/4/20) - MLB DFS Lineups

After a weird 6 game slate on Thursday that locked at 4:05 pm EST, we get a 9 game slate of goodness tonight. Unfortunately, we miss out on the beauty that is Sixto Sanchez and a slew of doubleheaders robs us of the Twins, Yankees, and Blue Jays hitters. Still, there is a lot to […]

Aaron Hicks Continues Heating Up

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks singled and walked twice against the Mets on Thursday, giving him seven hits and six walks over his last eight games. Under the hood, Hicks has been making progress on some of the factors that kept his production depressed earlier this season. Specifically, Hicks has seen his ground-ball rate […]

J.A. Happ Has Uneven Performance On Thursday

New York Yankees starting pitcher J.A. Happ allowed four runs over five innings against the Mets on Thursday, allowing eight hard-hit balls and generating only seven whiffs (7.5% swinging-strike rate). Happ cruised through three innings of one-run ball before the wheels fell off in the bottom of the fourth when Happ allowed three runs on […]

Giancarlo Stanton Not Close To Rejoining Lineup

New York Yankees outfielder/designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton is not on the horizon to rejoining the club’s starting nine, with manager Aaron Boone saying that Stanton was still “a ways away” ahead of the weekend series versus Baltimore. Stanton has been on the injured list since Aug. 9 due to a strained left hamstring, but had […]

Gleyber Torres Expects To Return This Weekend

New York Yankees shortstop Gleyber Torres is expected to rejoin the lineup either Saturday or Sunday against the Orioles. Torres has been out since Aug. 21 due to a strained hamstring that he sustained while running down the first-base line. Prior to his injury, his bat had been heating up, having gone 9-for-22 with a […]

The Baller Ranks: Top 200 Hitters Weekly Rankings (Week 7)

The past week brought us one of the coolest trade deadlines in recent memory. It's always a good time when the GM of an MLB franchise starts making trades like a fantasy manager. The changes for Austin Nola, Mitch Moreland, Jonathan Villar, Starling Marte, and Jon Berti are meaningful, but not with clear fantasy implications. […]

Jordan Montgomery Lasts Less Than One Inning On Tuesday

New York Yankees starting pitcher Jordan Montgomery allowed four runs over only 0.2 innings against the Rays on Tuesday. The Rays capitalized on a pair of poorly placed pitches for two long home runs against Montgomery, accounting for all four runs that Montgomery allowed. Montgomery has now thrown fewer than 70 pitches in each of […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (9/3/20) - MLB DFS Lineups

We head into Thursday night with a weird 6 game slate on tap. The main slate locks at 4:05 pmEST. There are two games in the 4 o'clock hour and then the other four games start at 7:10 pm and later. Regardless, it looks like a fun slate to build some lineups for and win […]

Deivi Garcia Likely To Start On Friday

New York Yankees starting pitcher Deivi Garcia is likely to start against the Orioles on Friday, according to manager Aaron Boone. With the Yankees and Orioles playing a doubleheader, Garcia is likely to be the team’s 29th man again and should be sent back to the team’s alternate site immediately following the game. Still, Garcia […]

Aroldis Chapman Suspended For Three Games

New York Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman will miss the team’s next three games as he serves a suspension for throwing at Rays third baseman Mike Brosseau’s head on Tuesday. Relief pitcher Zach Britton is the natural fill-in for Chapman over the next three games, which come against the Rays, Mets, and Orioles. Britton’s DFS value […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (9/2/20) - MLB DFS Lineups

We have a large 10-game slate on DraftKings where we'll be sidestepping the two offenses that exploded for a combined 39 runs last night in the Giants and the Cardinals. No Coors Field to stack up tonight, either, so we'll have to dig a little deeper to look at offenses to target on this slate. […]

Aroldis Chapman Gets His First Save Of The Season

New York Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman finally picked up his first save of the season on Tuesday, striking out one over a clean inning against the Rays. An errant 101 mph fastball that wound up behind the head of Rays third baseman Mike Brosseau sparked some postgame animosity between the two teams, but Chapman looked […]

DJ LeMahieu Clubs Two Home Runs

New York Yankees second baseman DJ LeMahieu hit a pair of home runs against the Rays on Tuesday, giving him four home runs over 24 games this season. LeMahieu missed nine games between August 15 and August 29 with a thumb injury, but he hasn’t missed a beat since rejoining to the lineup with at […]

Masahiro Tanaka Strikes Out Seven On Tuesday

New York Yankees starting pitcher Masahiro Tanaka looked good on Wednesday, striking out seven batters over six innings with two runs allowed. Tanaka’s slider was fantastic with 11 whiffs over 42 pitches (26% swinging-strike rate), and a home run off the bat of outfielder Kevin Kiermaier was the only real damage against the 31-year-old. Encouragingly, […]

Gleyber Torres Nearing Return

New York Yankees shortstop Gleyber Torres (hamstring, quad) is expected to get some rehab games in at the team’s alternate site over the next few days, making his return to the MLB lineup likely to come sometime towards the end of next week. Torres had been heating up after a slow start to the season […]

Zach Britton Activated From Injured List On Tuesday

New York Yankees relief pitcher Zach Britton (hamstring) was activated by the team on Tuesday. Britton threw his most recent bullpen session on Sunday, and his activation on Tuesday was in line with the team’s expectations. Fantasy players should expect Britton to pitch primarily as a setup man for closer Aroldis Chapman and continue pitching […]
