Daily Fantasy Baseball Injury News and Lineup Updates for DraftKings and FanDuel - 4/8/16

This article will be updated throughout the day. Continue to check back.

In this article, we’ll be providing you with critical lineup updates and injury news for MLB games on 4/8/16. 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 4/8/16

Jacob deGrom's wife is expected to give birth today. The Mets' starting pitcher made it abundantly clear that he will leave the game to see his child. Roster him with caution.

Maikel Franco is not playing for the Philadelphia Phillies tonight.

Josh Donaldson did not take ground balls, but he is expected to start regardless.

 

MLB Lineup Updates for 4/8/16

Emmannuel Burriss is starting and batting eighth for Maikel Franco. He is a decent salary relief option today.

Starling Castro is hitting third for the New York Yankees today.

 

Weather Updates for 4/8/16

There is a 15% chance of rain in the Philadelphia Phillies and New York Mets game.

There is around a 40% chance of rain and snow in the Cleveland Indians and Chicago White Sox game.

There is around a 50% chance of rain to begin the Pittsburgh Pirates and Cincinnati Reds game, but it continuously decreases, so the game should be played.

There is a 15% chance of rain in the Texas Rangers and Los Angeles Angels game.

There is around a 45% chance of rain later in the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Francisco Giants game, so avoid pitching options from these teams.
