Daily Fantasy Baseball Injury News and Lineup Updates for DraftKings and FanDuel - 4/28/16

By Keith Allison on Flickr (Originally posted to Flickr as "Clay Buchholz") [CC-BY-SA-2.0 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0)], via Wikimedia Commons

DFS players looking for a stack may want to grab lefties against Rubby De La Rosa. The 27-year-old has been hammered by southpaws his entire career, and has opened 2016 by allowing a .375 wOBA against his opposite hand.

Those looking for a safe value play/SP2 option on this short and (potentially) rainy day could try Clay Buchholz. The Braves entered play Wednesday as a bottom-5 team against right-handed pitching, and ranked as the worst team in the league on the road.

In this article, we’ll be providing you with critical lineup updates and injury news for MLB games on 4/28/16. We’ll try to update this article up until games so you have the latest information to set your daily fantasy baseball lineups on FanDuel and DraftKings.

MLB Injury Updates for 4/28/16

Miguel Montero was scheduled to miss his second consecutive game as a result of back stiffness Wednesday before the contest against the Brewers was rained out. David Ross will likely reprise his role behind the plate if Montero is unable to play Thursday. UPDATE: Montero placed on DL. Ross will likely start at catcher for the foreseeable future.

Scooter Gennett missed his second game in a row Wednesday due to an oblique injury. Look for Yadiel Rivera to continue to start for as long as he is sidelined. UPDATE: Gennett placed on the DL. Rivera will start in his absence.

Kolten Wong missed his second straight game Wednesday against the DiamondbacksJedd Gyorko is likely to start again Thursday if Wong needs more time to recover.

MLB Lineup Updates for 4/28/16

The Orioles will face their second consecutive lefty when John Danks takes the hill for the White SoxPedro Alvarez will likely remain on the bench, while Nolan Reimold plays left field. This means Mark Trumbo will stay in the DH role. UPDATE: Matt Wieters sits in favor of Caleb Joseph.

UPDATE: Tommy La Stella will play third base against Milwaukee. Kris Bryant slides to left field.

UPDATE: Starling Marte will sit in favor of Matt Joyce. Chris Stewart will take over behind the plate for Francisco Cervelli.

UPDATE: Yasmany Tomas and Welington Castillo are out Thursday. Brandon Drury will play in left field while Chris Herrmann takes over behind the plate.

Weather Updates for 4/28/16

Detroit's early afternoon start time puts it right in the middle of some potentially bad weather, as the forecast calls for a 50% chance of rain. Those who are playing an early slate will want to watch this game closely.

Denver has a chance to see significant, steady rain throughout the day. Be sure to keep an eye on the contest. UPDATE: Game PPD due to rain.

Washington D.C. has a 50% chance to see rain by the time the Nationals get set to take on the Phillies.

Baltimore could see heavy rain in the afternoon, but the chance of precipitation drops to about 20% in the evening.
