MLB DFS Prop Picks for 8/12/19 - Monkey Knife Fight

The dog days of August bring some great opportunities when playing Major League Baseball props, in part because at this stage of the season, some of the biggest impact bats are those that started the season in the minors. Reds outfielder Aristides Aquino is the hottest hitter in baseball right now, not missing a beat […]

Masahiro Tanaka Dominant in Victory Over Toronto

Having given up 19 runs over his last three starts, Masahiro was resurgent on Sunday afternoon, shutting out the Toronto Blue Jays for eight innings before being removed after giving up a weak leadoff single to start the ninth inning. Aroldis Chapman then closed the door, giving Tanaka his seventh win of the season and […]

Giancarlo Stanton Moved to 60-Day IL

Needing to make room for relievers Brady Lail and Joe Mantiply, the Yankees moved Giancarlo Stanton to the 60-day IL as he recovers from a right PCL strain. The move means that Stanton cannot return before August 25 but was mostly a procedural move as GM Brian Cashman does not expect the slugger back before […]

The Cut List (Week 20) - Time to Let Go?

It's now really getting to that point in the fantasy season where cuts are going to be highly based on statistical needs, which are much more obvious now than they were in April and May. This is more true of hitters, whose production in each statistic can vary more widely than for pitchers. Additionally, with the […]

CC Sabathia Could Return This Week

New York Yankees starter CC Sabathia threw a bullpen session off the mound Sunday and reported no issues, lining him up for a return later this week. The southpaw will throw again Tuesday, and if he gets through without any setbacks, he could be activated for the series with the Indians which begins on Thursday. […]

Gary Sanchez Serves as DH

New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez will serve as the designated hitter for Sunday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. Sanchez returned from a stint on the injured list on Saturday.

Luis Severino Throws Successful Bullpen Session

Back on a mound for the first time in five months, Yankees ace Luis Severino threw a 23-pitch bullpen session on Friday afternoon, throwing mostly fastballs and changeups as well as mixing in two sliders.

Holder is dealing with right shoulder inflammation, so he could be sidelined multiple weeks. He has a 6.31 ERA in 34 games (one start) with the Yankees this season. Stephen Tarpley has been recalled to take his spot […]

Gary Sanchez Activated on Saturday

New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez (groin) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Saturday. He spent over two weeks on the injured list due to a groin strain.
