Ryan Zimmerman Smacks First 2021 Homer
Washington Nationals first baseman Ryan Zimmerman went 1-for-4 with a walk and a two-run home run on Wednesday. Batting third for the first time since 2018, Zimmerman brought his early season line to .346/.370/.500. Zimmerman has played more often than expected so far this season due to Josh Bell missing time during the team's coronavirus […]
Andrew Vaughn Inserted Into White Sox Lineup On Wednesday
Chicago White Sox rookie first baseman/outfielder Andrew Vaughn will start and bat seventh on Wednesday versus the Cleveland Indians. Vaughn is the White Sox top hitting prospect and made the team out of camp, but manager Tony La Russa has limited the rookies play early on with Nick Williams getting three of the last four […]
Orioles-Mariners Game Wednesday Postponed Due To Rain
The Baltimore Orioles-Seattle Mariners game scheduled for Wednesday has been postponed due to rain, according to Joe Trezza of MLB.com. The Orioles and Mariners will now play a doubleheader on Thursday, with the first game beginning at 12:35 pm ET.
Wil Myers Not In Wednesday's Lineup
San Diego Padres outfielder/first baseman Wil Myers (knee) is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates. Myers had to leave Tuesday's game after moving awkwardly while trying to make a defensive play, ultimately ending up with right knee inflammation. It seems like the veteran outfielder is day-to-day for now, with Jurickson Profar […]
Bobby Dalbec Starting To Heat Up
Boston Red Sox first baseman Bobby Dalbec is showing signs of breaking out of a season-opening slump. Dalbec has collected three extra-base hits in the last two games after having none in his first six games, raising his slugging percentage from .095 to .286 over that span. Even more encouraging has been his visible change […]
Jose Abreu On 11-Game On-Base Streak
Chicago White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu has reached base in each of his 11 games so far this year. He's slashing .209/.314/.372 with two home runs, seven walks, nine RBI and five runs. His current walk rate (13.7%) is nearly double where it was last year (6.9%), but he's also striking out at a […]
Freddie Freeman Hitting Well After Slow Start
Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman has been producing great power numbers over the past week. Through 11 games on the year, he's hit four home runs and a double while tallying eight RBI and seven runs. He's also shown great plate discipline with six walks compared with only six strikeouts. Freeman went 0-for-9 in […]

Rowdy Tellez Goes Deep For First Homer of 2021
Toronto Blue Jays designated hitter Rowdy Tellez went deep for the first time this season during Tuesday's 7-3 victory over the New York Yankees. The blast from the left-handed hitter came against southpaw reliever Lucas Luetge. Tellez has a respectable career wRC+ of 99 against same-side pitching. The burly, young hitter was off to a […]
Paul Goldschmidt Hits A Homer On Tuesday
St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt went 2-for-4 with two runs scored and three RBI in Tuesday's 14-3 blowout win over the Washington Nationals.

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (4/14/21): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice
We have a split Wednesday slate, but the FanDuel main slate still has seven games on it. If you want to participate in the early slate, don't overthink it. Lock in Corbin Burnes as the pitcher and stack against Brad Keller since Helen Keller has more fantasy points than Brad does this season. The Nationals […]
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (4/14/21): MLB DFS Lineups
Happy Wednesday, Rotoballers! The only way it could be happier would be if DraftKings included the San Diego-Pittsburgh game on the slate.

Jose Marmolejos Homers Tuesday
Seattle Mariners first baseman Jose Marmolejos went deep Tuesday, blasting a three-run home run off Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Dean Kremer in the second half of a double-header.

Miguel Sano Draws A Pair Of Walks Tuesday
Minnesota Twins first/third baseman Miguel Sano went 0-for-2 with a pair of walks in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Red Sox. Sano has been slumping to start the season, so it was nice to see him put together a couple of patient at-bats. The 27-year-old slugger is batting just .086 with a 40 percent strikeout […]
Ronald Guzman Placed On IL With Meniscus Tear
Texas Rangers first baseman Ronald Guzman (meniscus) has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a torn right meniscus. He is expected to miss an extended period of time.

Colin Moran Out Of Pirates Lineup On Tuesday
Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman Colin Moran is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against lefty Blake Snell and the San Diego Padres. Phillip Evans is shifting over to cover Moran's typical first base post in the game. Moran started each previous game this year for the Pirates. He's never been awful against lefties, […]
Evan White Batting Eighth In Return
Seattle Mariners first baseman Evan White (hamstring) is back in the starting lineup Tuesday, batting in the eighth spot. After missing three straight games with a hamstring strain, White came on as a defensive replacement Sunday night. He'll be dropped in the lineup to eighth Tuesday, and it remains to be seen if this is a […]
Nate Lowe Driving In Runs Early In The Season
Texas Rangers first baseman Nate Lowe, who was acquired from the Tampa Bay Rays in the offseason, has been the team's best player so far this year. He looked great through the first two series and has three home runs and 14 RBI, but he also struck out three times in four at-bats on Monday […]
Matt Olson, Sean Murphy Not In Tuesday's Lineup
Oakland Athletics first baseman Matt Olson (hand) and catcher Sean Murphy are not in Tuesday's lineup for the contest against the Diamondbacks. It's a routine day off for Murphy, who has collected three hits in his last two games after going hitless in his first seven. Olson was expected to sit out a game after […]
Statcast Hitter Leaderboard: Maximum Exit Velocity
Although we technically got Statcast data as soon as the first pitch of the 2021 season was thrown, any good sabermetrician knows that sample size matters. It's still quite early in the season but we can't wait to start digging into the stats, so let's start this year's iteration of the Statcast Hitter Leaderboard by […]
Mitch Moreland Takes Batting Practice
Oakland Athletics first baseman Mitch Moreland (hamstring) has missed the last three games due to a sore right hamstring, but he was able to take batting practice before the game on Monday and is a candidate to fill in at first base with Matt Olson (thumb) listed as day-to-day after suffering a thumb contusion when […]
Matt Olson Day-To-Day After Being Hit On Hand
Oakland Athletics first baseman Matt Olson (thumb) is being listed as day-to-day after he was removed in the eighth inning after getting hit by a pitch on his left hand on Monday night. Manager Bob Melvin said that X-rays on Olson's hand showed no broken bones after the game. Olson suffered a thumb contusion. "It […]
