1B and 3B Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9

Your friendly neighborhood @Roto_Dubs here, filling in for the esteemed Mr. Bishop for the week. This point of the season is a rough one for reinforcements on the waiver wire. Pretty much everyone is still trying to win, and with early breakouts long since snapped up and injuries taking their toll as usual, it can be […]

Clint Frazier (OF, NYY) - Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 33% of leagues ANALYSIS: Things never seem to go as expected with the New York Yankees lineup (as there would be no story lines to be had), and due to some ongoing complications such as Giancarlo Stanton's injury setbacks, Clint Frazier's spot in the outfield appears to be safe […]

The Waiver Wire Watch List: Week 9

As important as it is to be active on the waiver wire, snagging that next hot bat or pitcher on a roll before anyone else can, let's be honest--there are only so many roster spots. That's why your watch list is just as important as your waiver wire activity, and perhaps even more so. Throughout […]

DJ LeMahieu Sits on Saturday

New York Yankees second baseman DJ LeMahieu (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Kansas City Royals. LeMahieu is off to a hot start this season, hitting .324, so this is just a routine day off. Thairo Estrada will draw the start at second base and bat eighth versus righty […]

Buy or Sell - Undervalued and Overvalued Players for Week 9

We are nearly a third of the way through the fantasy season and things are starting to figure themselves out. For example, Kris Bryant has seemingly found his stroke and shut the window closed on buy-low opportunities. Several other players around the league are also beginning to find their groove, yet there are still a […]

Closers and Saves Report - Week 8 Waiver Wire

It's almost officially summer (both in the "school's out" definition and the-calendar-says-so definition) but the introduction of Closers and Saves Report is still rolling strong with some very specific Easter eggs. While part of me wants to break free (✔) another part feels under pressure (✔✔) to keep it going. Speaking of keeping it going, […]

Due to a prior commitment, the picks will have an earlier submission. Sorry in advance for any discrepancies in odds due to the timing of this article. In this […]

Troy Tulowitzki Could Start Rehab Assignment Next Week

New York Yankees shortstop Troy Tulowitzki (calf) had nine plate appearances in his first simulated game on Friday since re-injuring his left calf. He has not played for the Yankees since April 3 but could start a rehab assignment next week. Tulo has been taking grounders at shortstop, third and second base. At this point, […]

Didi Gregorius To Start Rehab Assignment Saturday

New York Yankees shortstop Didi Gregorius (elbow), who is recovering from Tommy John surgery last October, served as the designated hitter in his fourth extended spring training game on Friday. He will start a rehab assignment with High-A Tampa on Saturday and is hoping to return around mid-June. “My timing is not there yet,” Gregorius […]

James Paxton Still Feeling Pain In Knee

New York Yankees starting pitcher James Paxton (knee) still felt pain in his left knee after making a start in extended spring training on Friday. The left-hander allowed one hit while striking out seven in four innings after having not pitched since May 3. “If I come in tomorrow with more pain than I had […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (5/24/19): MLB DFS Lineups

This Friday slate is absolutely packed as usual. There are 14 games in the main slate starting at 7:05pm. There's an early 2:20pm start at Wrigley field as the Cubs host the Reds, which adds a 15th game to the all day slate. Most of the money will be centered around the main slate so […]

Chad Green is the Opener for Friday

New York Yankees pitcher Chad Green will draw the start versus the Kansas City Royals on Friday. This marks Green's second start of the year, but he'll likely only go an inning or two. Green has a 12.41 ERA this season, so this is going to be a bullpen day for the Bronx Bombers. It's […]

Luke Voit Smacks Home Run As Yanks Sweep

Although they needed a late rally in which they played a very small role in, the New York Yankees swept the Baltimore Orioles Thursday afternoon at Camden Yards. Arguably their most reliable player, Luke Voit, played a key role in the victory. The 28-year-old recorded two hits, but his biggest was a solo home run […]

Masahiro Tanaka Has Strong Start Wasted Late

It wasn't the first time this happened in 2019, but Masahiro Tanaka posted an excellent start and wound up without a victory to show for it. Making his scheduled start after exiting last time with a shin injury, the 30-year-old went six innings at Camden Yards Thursday afternoon. He allowed just one run on five […]

CC Sabathia Lands On Injured List

The New York Yankees officially placed starting pitcher CC Sabathia (knee) on the 10-day injured list on Thursday with right knee inflammation. Sabathia said he's headed to New York on Friday and is likely to skip at least his next start. The left-hander, who is now one win shy of 250 wins for his career, […]

Gleyber Torres Will Rest on Thursday

New York Yankees shortstop Gleyber Torres (rest) is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. The 22-year-old has absolutely dominated the Orioles this season, as 10 of his 12 home runs in 2019 have come against Baltimore, along with a .465 batting average through 49 plate appearances. Thairo Estrada will play […]

Gary Sanchez Out of the Lineup on Thursday

New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez (rest) is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. It's a routine day of rest for the 26-year-old, who is off to a great start in 2019 with 15 home runs, 31 RBI, a .270 batting average and an OPS of 1.018. Austin Romine will […]

Digging Deeper: AL-Only Waiver Wire Report for Week 8

Every week in baseball, a significant player will hit the disabled list, slip into a slump, or get traded out of a good spot. How fantasy owners adapt to these situations can make or break the season as a whole. One lousy add might not hurt the long-term standing of a team, but failing to […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (5/23/19): MLB DFS Lineups

This Thursday slate is absolutely bizarre. There are 10 games in total, but four of them start between 12 and 1 pm, and there is only one game after 7 pm. That means a strange split of the slates on DraftKings. There is a six-game slate beginning at 12:10 pm, with a two-game slate beginning […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (5/23/19): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

There are nine games on the schedule today, with a lot of elite pitching and not much in the way of hitting. We will attempt to find some value, but there's not a whole lot of offense that I am too high on. We see Fanduel being split into an early slate and main slate, […]

Zach Britton Was Unavailable Wednesday

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that relief pitcher Zach Britton was unavailable on Wednesday and was "a little beat up." Britton said nothing in particular was bothering him, but he's thrown a lot of innings lately. The left-handed reliever will be available on Thursday. The 31-year-old is 2-0 on the season with a […]

DJ LeMahieu Drills Another Home Run

It has become clearer that the New York Yankees have an MVP through the first two months of the season and his name is DJ LeMahieu. The former Colorado Rockies All-Star has been one of the few Yankees to avoid the IL this season, spending time all around the infield. Wednesday night he recorded two […]

CC Sabathia Expects To Land On Injured List

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that starting pitcher CC Sabathia's knee is "barking a little bit," and Sabathia expects to go on the injured list. "It’s something I need to take care of," Sabathia said. The veteran left-hander said it's the same pain he's dealt with in the past and expects to go […]

Brett Gardner Picks Up Three Hits In Win

While the long ball was once again prevalent for the New York Yankees Wednesday night against the Orioles, the club's wily veteran found other ways to contribute. Brett Gardner picked up just his second multi-hit game of the month and first three-hit game in a month as he also scored a run in the process. […]

Gleyber Torres Continues To Own Orioles In Win

Following Wednesday's game New York Yankees shortstop Gleyber Torres has 10 home runs this season against the Baltimore Orioles. With four months left in the season, he's four home runs away from tying the all-time record by one player against one team in a major league season. Torres drilled two more home runs Wednesday as […]
