DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (6/4/22): Today's Top MLB DFS Lineups

We had yet another very high-scoring slate on Friday night, which was probably to be expected with some aces on the hill and some really good offenses with good match-ups, too. If your lineups are scoring a bunch of points and you're still only min-cashing, don't fret! You're in good company because I have had […]

Yankees Acquire Jake Bauers From Reds

The New York Yankees acquired infielder/outfielder Jake Bauers from the Cincinnati Reds on Friday in exchange for cash considerations. Bauers was a top prospect in the Tampa Bay Rays system before getting dealt to Cleveland and struggling in two seasons. He spent last year with the Guardians and Seattle Mariners, going a combined 59-for-282 (.209) […]

Edwin Rios Going On Injured List

Los Angeles Dodgers skipper Dave Roberts said that outfielder/first baseman Edwin Rios (hamstring) has a right hamstring tear that will send him to the injured list. The good news is that Rios won't need surgery. Eddy Alvarez has been added to the active MLB roster in a corresponding move. It will be a couple of […]

Brandon Belt Begins Running Progression

San Francisco Giants first baseman Brandon Belt (knee) remains back in San Francisco and is starting a running progression on Friday. The earliest he could probably return would be next Tuesday. Belt has been out since May 18 with right knee inflammation, and he'll likely need a minor league rehab assignment before he comes off […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (6/3/22): Today's Top MLB DFS Lineups

Sometimes you just have to load up on the Coors Field game and sometimes you just fade it. Last night, I hope you played the chalky Braves because they ended up hanging 13 on Colorado, while the Rockies still managed to score six in defeat. We have another Coors game on this 12-game slate, but […]

Max Muncy To Start Rehab Assignment

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Max Muncy (elbow) is scheduled to start a minor league rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City in the next couple of days.

Paul Goldschmidt Reaches Base Three Times On Wednesday

St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt helped lead the team to a 5-2 victory over the San Diego Padres on Wednesday. He went 1-for-2 with two walks and two runs scored in the game. Goldschmidt was quite possibly the most lethal hitter in the majors throughout the month of May. He slashed .404/.471/.817 last […]

Jose Abreu Knocks Sixth Homer

Chicago White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu mashed his sixth homer of the season Wednesday against Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Hyun Jin Ryu in a 7-3 loss.

Can Matt Olson Live Up to Preseason Expectations in Atlanta?

The phrase "you have big shoes to fill" can often be overused, but there are times when it is completely applicable. Generally, this saying is utilized when someone is succeeding someone in a certain position that had been very successful. For instance, should the CEO of a flourishing company retire, the person taking his place […]

Will These Big-Name Hitters Turn it Around? Curse of the 2022 Free Agent Class

The 2022 offseason gave us one of the biggest free-agent classes in recent memory. So many big names moved around and gave us so many questions as to what these moves meant for fantasy. Unfortunately, for the most part, those moves have led to pretty underwhelming starts to the 2022 season. For whatever reason, a […]

Vinnie Pasquantino Continues To Destroy Balls In Triple-A

Kansas City Royals first baseman Vinnie Pasquantino continues to tear the cover off the ball for Triple-A Omaha. The first baseman went 1-for-3 on Tuesday and went yard for the third consecutive game. The 24-year-old has been absolutely mashing down on the farm and with Royals first baseman Carlos Santana in a season-long slump, many […]

Projecting MLB's Demoted Top Prospect Hitters - Is A Rebound Likely?

You know the pattern: an acclaimed prospect (or young player) gets the call, folks spend hundreds of dollars of FAAB on them, then they get demoted a few rough weeks later. Sometimes, they fail to rediscover their shine in the minors. Other times they get another chance in the majors and take a major step […]

Josh Bell Singles On Tuesday

Washington Nationals first baseman Josh Bell went 1-for-4 in a 10-0 loss to the New York Mets on Tuesday. Bell has cooled off at the plate heading into Wednesday's matchup against the Mets. The 29-year-old was hot in the first month of the season, slashing .365/.460/.527 with two home runs and 15 runs batted in […]

Matt Beaty's Rehab Assignment Put On Hold

San Diego Padres outfielder/first baseman Matt Beaty (shoulder) has had his rehab assignment put on hold. According to Padres beat writer Kevin Acee, Beaty's shoulder is "still not quite right."

Nathaniel Lowe Sitting With Lefty On Mound Tuesday

Texas Rangers first baseman Nathaniel Lowe is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against left-hander Ryan Yarbrough and the Tampa Bay Rays.

Eric Hosmer Out Of The Lineup On Tuesday

San Diego Padres first baseman Eric Hosmer is absent from the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against right-hander Adam Wainwright and the St. Louis Cardinals. Jake Cronenworth will be covering first base for the game. Following a fantastic opening month to the year, Hosmer cooled off significantly in May. He posted a .389/.457/.597 slash line […]

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Returns From Wrist Injury

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (wrist) is back at first base and is hitting third on Tuesday against Chicago White Sox right-hander Lucas Giolito. Guerrero didn't start on Sunday against the Los Angeles Angels due to a sore left wrist -- he pinch hit in the game -- but he's been cleared […]

Mets Option Dominic Smith

The New York Mets optioned first baseman/outfielder Dominic Smith to Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday and recalled right-hander Adonis Medina from Syracuse in a corresponding move. Smith has been atrocious this year, hitting just .186/.287/.256 with no home runs, 14 RBI, seven runs scored and 24 strikeouts in 101 plate appearances over 39 games, so he'll […]

Josh Naylor Sitting Against Lefty

Cleveland Guardians first baseman/outfielder Josh Naylor is not in the starting lineup on Tuesday against Kansas City Royals left-hander Daniel Lynch. Outfielder Steven Kwan will also take a seat for Cleveland. Naylor has been great for fantasy managers so far this year, slashing .287/.342/.515 with an .857 OPS, six home runs, 25 RBI and 13 […]

Wilmer Flores Homers Monday

San Francisco Giants infielder Wilmer Flores went deep Monday, knocking a two-run home run in a 5-4 extra-inning victory over the Philadelphia Phillies. It was his only hit in five at-bats.
