Jonathan Schoop is Sitting Out on Saturday
Milwaukee Brewers infielder Jonathan Schoop (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. It appears that this is just a rest day for Schoop. Orlando Arcia will draw the start at shortstop and bat eighth against righty Miles Mikolas. Arcia has struggled with the bat all season, so […]

Ryan Braun is Out of the Lineup Saturday
Milwaukee Brewers first baseman/outfielder Ryan Braun (ribs) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. He continues to deal with rib cage tightness, but the issue is believed to be day-to-day. Keon Broxton will play right field and bat sixth versus righty Miles Mikolas. Broxton can be avoided in […]

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman/outfielder Eric Thames (knee) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Thames injured his right knee while colliding with teammate Lorenzo Cain on Friday. It's assumed this is just a day-to-day issue until the Brewers say it's more serious.

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Billy Hamilton will lead off for the second straight game and play center field versus lefty Madison Bumgarner.

James McCann is Out of the Lineup Saturday
Detroit Tigers catcher James McCann (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Minnesota Twins. Grayson Greiner will start behind the plate and bat eighth versus righty Kohl Stewart. Greiner has been decent with the bat during his limited playing time. Stewart has been awful so far this season, so Greiner […]

Jose Martinez Scratched From the Lineup
St. Louis Cardinals first baseman/outfielder Jose Martinez (hip) has been scratched from the starting lineup on Saturday. Martinez is dealing with tightness in his right hip, so he'll sit this one out. Tyler O'Neill will replace him in right field and bat third against lefty Wade Miley. O'Neill is worth a look as a cheap […]

Carlos Gomez Will Lead Off Saturday
Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Carlos Gomez will lead off and play right field versus lefty David Price on Saturday. Gomez normally bats fifth or lower in the lineup, but will move up with a lefty on the mound. However, Gomez is hitting .043/.083/.043 off Price in his career. He should be avoided in fantasy leagues […]

Josh Harrison is Out of the Lineup Saturday
Pittsburgh Pirates infielder/outfielder Josh Harrison (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Chicago Cubs. Adam Frazier will draw the rare start at second base and bat sixth versus righty Tyler Chatwood. Frazier is not normally worth using in DFS, but he could be an interesting option against Chatwood. At worst, […]

Jose Urena Will Start on Sunday
Miami Marlins starting pitcher Jose Urena will draw the start against the Washington Nationals on Sunday. Urena is awaiting the hearing for his six-game suspension, so he's eligible to keep pitching. However, Urena has been mediocre at best this season, so he's only worth owning in NL-only leagues. A matchup against the Nationals is not […]

David Bote is Back in the Lineup Saturday
Chicago Cubs third baseman David Bote is back in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Bote will bat third and play third base against righty Joe Musgrove.

Jared Goff Should See Playing Time On Saturday
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff did not play in the preseason opener against the Ravens. Quarterback Brandon Allen finished 10-for-15 for 73 yards and one touchdown, while Sean Mannion went 3-for-13 with 16 yards and one interception. There is no quarterback controversy for the Rams. Goff is going to be the starter, but the […]

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker knocked down both of his field goal attempts during Friday's victory over the Falcons. Butker knocked down an impressive 49 yard field goal on Friday. His long during last season was 53 yards, so it's clear Butker has not lost a step. Butker knocked down 38/42 field goals last […]

Travis Kelce Quiet in Second Preseason Game
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce was held to just two receptions and 27 yards during Friday's victory over the Falcons. It's been a slow start to the preseason for Kelce, but he should see more action the next two weeks. Having Patrick Mahomes under helm should not change Kelce's fantasy value. He should […]

It does not appear that […]

Kareem Hunt Struggles in Second Preseason Game
Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt saw more attempts in the second preseason game on Friday, but failed to do much with the ball. Hunt collected a total of 15 yards on seven attempts for an average of 2.1 yards per carry. It's early in camp, so the Chiefs aren't going to overload Hunt […]

Chad Henne, Matt McGloin Continue Battling for Backup QB
Kansas City Chiefs quarterbacks Chad Henne and Matt McGloin are putting on an impressive battle for backup QB. It appears that Patrick Mahomes is going to be the starting quarterback in KC, but injuries happen and his lack of experience is showing on the field. Through two games Henne has completed 16-for-24 passes with two […]

Patrick Mahomes Plays Well on Friday
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes started off slow in Friday's preseason game against the Falcons, but finished with a bang.

Jose Urena is Appealing His Six-Game Suspension
Miami Marlins starting pitcher Jose Urena is reportedly appealing his six-game suspension. Urena was fined and suspended after intentionally hitting Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna with a pitch on Wednesday.

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder David Peralta (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the San Diego Padres. It appears that Peralta is getting a rest day, so fantasy owners don't need to worry about an injury. Jon Jay will lead off and play left field against lefty Joey Lucchesi. Jay can be […]

Yasiel Puig Won't Play on Friday
Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Seattle Mariners. Puig was suspended two games, but it's unclear if this means he's decided against appealing his suspension. Regardless, Kike Hernandez will play right field and bat sixth versus lefty Wade LeBlanc. Hernandez has been slumping […]

Ryan Braun is Out on Friday
Milwaukee Brewers first baseman/outfielder Ryan Braun (ribs) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals.

Logan Forsythe Will Lead Off on Friday
Minnesota Twins second baseman Logan Forsythe will lead off and play second base against lefty Matt Boyd on Friday. Forsythe jumps around in the Twins batting order, but it is rare to see him batting first. He went 5-for-5 with two RBI and three runs scored in Thursday's victory. Forsythe does not have good numbers […]

Joe Mauer is Sitting Out on Friday
Minnesota Twins first baseman Joe Mauer (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Detroit Tigers. It appears that Mauer is just getting a routine day off for this contest. Ehire Adrianza will bat eighth and play first base versus lefty Matt Boyd. Adrianza is hitting .364/.462/.545 off Boyd in his […]

Yoan Moncada Will Lead Off on Friday
Chicago White Sox second baseman Yoan Moncada will lead off and play second base versus righty Jake Junis on Friday. Moncada normally bats near the bottom of the batting order, but will move up to first for some reason. He's hitting .133/.220/.244 with one home run and two RBI over the last two weeks. DFS […]

Shohei Ohtani Batting Cleanup Friday
Los Angeles Angels pitcher/hitter Shohei Ohtani will bat cleanup and serve as the DH versus righty Drew Hutchison on Friday. The Angels are still unsure when Ohtani will get back into the rotation, but at least he's hitting. Ohtani is in a favorable part of the batting order against a struggling starting pitcher. Ohtani should […]
