Tyler White will bat ninth […]

Shin-Soo Choo Out of the Lineup Wednesday

Texas Rangers outfielder Shin-Soo Choo (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Boston Red Sox. Choo extended his franchise record on-base streak to 48 games on Tuesday.

James McCann Resting on Tuesday

Detroit Tigers catcher James McCann (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. John Hicks will slide over to catcher and bat fourth against righty Ryne Stanek. Hicks normally plays first base for the Tigers, but will be behind the plate on Tuesday in order to give McCann […]

Tyler Saladino Back in the Lineup Tuesday

Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Tyler Saladino is back in the starting lineup on Tuesday after getting the day off Monday. Saladino will bat fifth against Marlins' rookie right-hander Pablo Lopez. Saladino is in a favorable part of the batting order and facing a struggling rookie pitcher, but he does not have much upside in fantasy leagues […]

New York Mets first baseman Dominic Smith (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Wilmer Flores will cover first base and bat in the cleanup spot against rookie right-hander Enyel De Los Santos. Smith has struggled this season, and went 0-for-7 in the doubleheader on Monday.

New York Mets outfielder Michael Conforto (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Aaron Altherr (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the New York Mets. Nick Williams will play right field and bat fifth against righty Drew Gagnon. Altherr only has one hit this month and is not currently worth owning in fantasy leagues. Nick Williams has recorded at least […]

Yan Gomes Sitting on Tuesday

Cleveland Indians catcher Yan Gomes (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. Roberto Perez will be behind the plate and bat eighth against righty Sal Romano.

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Adam Duvall (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cleveland Indians. Jesse Winker will play left field and bat sixth against righty Trevor Bauer on Tuesday.

Joey Rickard Starting on Tuesday

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Joey Rickard is starting in right field and batting eighth against righty Masahiro Tanaka and the New York Yankees on Tuesday. Danny Valencia will get the night off with Rickard jumping into the starting lineup. Rickard went 3-for-6 in the doubleheader on Monday, but is not an option in fantasy leagues or […]

Austin Hedges Sitting Out Monday

San Diego Padres catcher Austin Hedges (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Veteran A.J. Ellis will draw the start behind the plate and bat eighth against lefty Clayton Kershaw. Hedges is only worth a look in NL-only leagues at the moment. Ellis is not a fantasy […]

Logan Morrison is Out on Monday

Minnesota Twins first baseman Logan Morrison (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Kansas City Royals. Mitch Garver who normally does the catching will bat sixth and serve as the DH against lefty Danny Duffy.

JaCoby Jones is Not in Lineup Monday

Detroit Tigers outfielder JaCoby Jones (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. Victor Reyes will draw the start in center field and bat ninth against Chris Archer on Monday. Both players should be avoided in fantasy leagues and DFS contests.

John Hicks is Not Starting on Monday

Detroit Tigers first baseman/catcher John Hicks (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. Jim Adduci will bat fifth and play first base against righty Chris Archer on Monday. Hicks is getting a rest day on Monday, but is an appealing option in many fantasy leagues. He starts […]

Derek Dietrich Not Starting on Monday

Miami Marlins infielder/outfielder Derek Dietrich (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. Garrett Cooper will bat sixth and play left field against righty Chase Anderson. Dietrich normally sits against left-handed pitching, but is just getting a routine day off on Monday. Cooper is not worth adding in fantasy […]

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Tyler Saladino (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Miami Marlins. Hernan Perez will play shortstop and bat seventh against righty Jose Urena. Saladino had played in four straight games and was currently in a 0-for-6 slump during his last two games. The Brewers decided to give […]

Jacob Nottingham Starting At Catcher Monday

Milwaukee Brewers catcher Jacob Nottingham will bat eighth and draw the start behind the plate against righty Jose Urena on Monday. Manny Pina (biceps) is out, so Nottingham and Erik Kratz will split time at catcher. Nottingham was hitting well in the minors and is worth a look for fantasy owners in deeper leagues that […]

Jonathan Villar is Sitting on Monday

Milwaukee Brewers second baseman/outfielder Jonathan Villar (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Miami Marlins. Brad Miller will bat sixth and play second base against Jose Urena. Despite seeing his playing time dip, Villar is worth owning in NL-only and deep leagues right now. Brad Miller has been hot over […]

Yan Gomes Back in the Lineup Monday

Cleveland Indians catcher Yan Gomes is back in the starting lineup for Monday's contest against the Cincinnati Reds. Gomez got the night off on Sunday, but will draw the start at catcher and bat seventh against Anthony DeSclafani.

Brock Holt Sitting Again on Monday

Boston Red Sox infielder/outfielder Brock Holt (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Texas Rangers. Eduardo Nunez will play second base and bat seventh against lefty Mike Minor.

Ronald Guzman Sitting on Monday

Texas Rangers first baseman Ronald Guzman (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Boston Red Sox. Jurickson Profar will slide over to first base and bat sixth against lefty Eduardo Rodriguez. Guzman does not hit well against left-handed pitching, so he'll get the night off. AL-only leagues should be the […]

Mitch Moreland Remains Out Friday

Boston Red Sox first baseman Mitch Moreland (back) is out of the starting lineup for the second straight game on Friday. Steve Pearce will draw the start at first base and bat cleanup against righty Jason Hammel. Pearce is not normally a fantasy option, but he could be an interesting DFS choice against the struggling […]

C.J. Cron is Not in the Lineup Friday

Tampa Bay Rays first baseman C.J. Cron (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the New York Mets. The Rays are in New York, so Jake Bauers will cover first base while Cron sits out against righty Jacob deGrom. Bauers is batting third but is not a recommended DFS option against […]

Wil Myers Resting on Friday

San Diego Padres first baseman/outfielder Wil Myers (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Friday's contest against the Arizona Diamondbacks. It looks like a rest day for Myers, who has been busy with the bat lately. Hunter Renfroe will bat cleanup and play right field against Zack Godley on Friday. Renfroe has only knocked […]

Jake Lamb Sitting on Friday

Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Jake Lamb (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the San Diego Padres. Chris Owings will bat eighth and play third base against lefty Joey Lucchesi. Lamb does not normally play against left-handed pitching, so Owings will slide over there for this contest. However, Owings has not […]

Mitch Haniger Remains Out on Friday

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger (knee) is out of the starting lineup for the second straight game on Friday. The team is calling the injury a bruised knee and Haniger has been listed as day-to-day. Ben Gamel will take over in right field and bat seventh against righty German Marquez. Gamel has not registered a […]

Mark Canha Starting on Friday

Oakland Athletics outfielder Mark Canha is batting second and playing left field against Carlos Carrasco on Friday. Matt Joyce will get the night off for the A's, but both players are not great options in fantasy leagues. Canha is in a favorable part in the batting order but is not a great DFS option against […]

Kendrys Morales is Not in the Lineup

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Kendrys Morales (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the New York Yankees. Curtis Granderson will serve as the designated hitter and bat first against righty Sonny Gray. Morales should be owned in AL-only leagues and some deep mixed formats for his power. Granderson is not […]
