It's the last day of July, the weather is hot, and the trade deadline along with the MLB playoff races are heating up! For some players playing today, this could be the last time we see them in their current uniforms before they get sent to a new team. It's an exciting time of year […]

Max Kepler, Miguel Sano Head To IL

Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler (toe) and first baseman Miguel Sano (knee) were placed on the 10-day IL Saturday. Kepler had missed the last three games with a toe injury that is now known to be a fractured right pinkie toe. After a hot start at the dish, he has cooled down with just four […]

C.J. Cron, Daniel Bard Unlikely To Be Traded

The Colorado Rockies are likely to remain quiet at this year's trade deadline, which means it's unlikely they'll deal first baseman C.J. Cron or closer Daniel Bard. The Rockies think they still have a shot at the postseason, so they aren't willing to part with their top players. Multiple teams are interested in Bard as […]

Josh Naylor Scratched With Ankle Soreness

Cleveland Guardians outfielder/first baseman Josh Naylor (ankle) was scratched from the starting lineup on Saturday against the Tampa Bay Rays due to right ankle soreness. Naylor also missed the game on Friday, and fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. The 25-year-old has been a solid contributor this year, slashing .282/.332/.514 with an .846 […]

Rhys Hoskins Goes 4-For-4, Hits Game-Winning Homer

Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Rhys Hoskins had a night on Friday in the 4-2 extra-inning win over the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Fantasy Baseball Trade Targets - Buy/Sell For Week 16

Making the right trades can be crucial to championship success in fantasy baseball, almost as much as the draft, if not more. While most trades can have a significant impact on your fantasy team, it’s the deals where you acquire undervalued players and then see their production improve that can really tip the scales in […]

Yuli Gurriel Steals Sixth Base Thursday

Houston Astros first baseman Yuli Gurriel went 1-for-3 with a run scored and his sixth stolen base of the season in Thursday's 4-2 win over the division-rival Seattle Mariners. His six stolen bases this year is a career-high after he swiped a combined six stolen bases in the last three seasons. Otherwise, the 38-year-old has […]

Paul Goldschmidt, Nolan Arenado Back From Restricted List

The St. Louis Cardinals activated first baseman Paul Goldschmidt and third baseman Nolan Arenado from the restricted list on Thursday, and they'll be available to play on Friday in the series opener against the Washington Nationals after they were unavailable to play in the two-game series in Toronto this week against the Blue Jays because […]

Freddie Freeman Doubles, Walks Twice On Thursday

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman helped the team complete a 13-0 rout of the Colorado Rockies on Thursday. He went 1-for-3 with a double, two walks, a stolen base, two RBI and two runs in the game. The 32-year-old has been in a groove throughout the month of July. He owns a month-long […]

Joe Barlow, Brad Miller Starting Rehab Assignments

Texas Rangers reliever Joe Barlow (finger) and infielder Brad Miller (neck) will both go on a minor league rehab assignment this weekend, according to manager Chris Woodward. Barlow was removed from his role as closer in early July and was then placed on the injured list shortly after when a blister popped up on his […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (7/29/22): Today's Top MLB DFS Lineups

Last night was not the night to fade the Dodgers in Coors, as they hung 13 on the Rockies as chalk and in doing so kept a bunch of my lineups from cashing in the process. We will have to make the tough decision to play or fade (or at least which specific Dodgers to […]

Hitters To Have A Big Second Half? Strikeout Rate Improvements for Fantasy Baseball

One good way to find hitters to help your fantasy team during the stretch run is to see which hitters have been striking out less as the year has gone by. The strikeout rate is far from the only thing to consider with a hitter, and it's probably not even the most important statistic - […]

Edwin Rios Starting Rehab Assignment Thursday

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman/outfielder Edwin Rios (hamstring) will begin his minor league rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday, starting at third base and batting second. Rios landed on the injured list on June 3 with a torn hamstring, so he's likely to require a lengthy rehab assignment before the Dodgers consider having […]

DJ LeMahieu Sitting Against Royals On Thursday

New York Yankees infielder DJ LeMahieu is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Kansas City Royals. Newly-acquired outfielder Andrew Benintendi will be hitting leadoff for the game. LeMahieu has been the team's primary leadoff hitter this year. He hasn't done much to lose that highly-coveted batting order spot as he's slashed […]

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Rowdy Tellez went 2-for-4 with two home runs (both three-run shots), six RBI and a walk in the 10-4 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday. It's a good sign for Tellez, who is hitting just .182 (14-for-77) with five home runs, 16 RBI and 11 runs scored in 21 games […]

Are The Red Sox Still An Elite MLB Offense? Potential Trade Deadline Moves

The Boston Red Sox have been considered an elite offense for some time by fantasy baseball players and analysts. In the first half of the season, they were eighth in runs scored. While they got off to a very slow start in April, being 26th in runs scored, they turned things around quickly. In May, […]

Yandy Diaz Starting On The Bench Thursday

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Yandy Diaz is not in the starting lineup on Thursday against the Baltimore Orioles. It will be his first game off in the second half of the season. Diaz has gone 7-for-24 (.292) with a homer, five RBI and three runs scored in six games to open the second half. The […]
