Anthony Rizzo Will Lead Off on Friday

Chicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo will lead off and play first base versus righty Matt Harvey on Friday. Normally Rizzo bats third for the Cubs, but sometimes he'll move up a few spots and for some reason he destroys the baseball when leading off. Rizzo has not been hitting the ball well lately, but […]

Tampa Bay Rays first baseman C.J. Cron (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Oakland Athletics. This will be Cron's second game in a row that he has been sidelined.

Cleveland Indians first baseman Yonder Alonso (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Detroit Tigers. Alonso will get the night off against the left-handed starter.

Chris Davis Returns to the Lineup on Friday

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (9/14/18): MLB DFS Lineups

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (9/14/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

Happy Friday, my fellow fantasy addicts. I can't believe we only have a few of these regular season Fridays left together - the season has really flown by, but at least the tight pennant races should make what we have left a very interesting segment of the season. The Cubs are home today, but, they […]

Luke Voit (1B, NYY) - Week 25 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 30% of leagues ANALYSIS: New York Yankees first baseman Luke Voit may not be hitting a home run every other night like he was a week ago, but is still a great addition for the fantasy stretch run. Posting a .265/.359/.559 slash since the beginning of September, Voit […]

Week 25 Waiver Wire: H2H Category Streamers

I like to consider myself a pioneer of the streaming approach. I won a league about seven years ago by completely ignoring saves and just stacking up the starts each week. While streaming is undoubtedly more directly associated with pitching, there's plenty of value in streaming for offense as well. Maybe you have a stacked […]

Joe Mauer is Out of the Lineup on Thursday

Minnesota Twins first baseman Joe Mauer (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Kansas City Royals. It appears this is just a routine day off for the veteran slugger. Tyler Austin will play first base and bat eighth against righty Heath Fillmyer. Austin has not played much lately and hasn't […]

Cody Bellinger is Sitting Out on Thursday

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Cody Bellinger (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals.

Freese could be a cheap […]

Justin Smoak is Back in the Lineup Thursday

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Justin Smoak is back in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Boston Red Sox. The Jays are trying to give Rowdy Tellez more playing time, so Smoak and Kendrys Morales have seen less time on the field lately. Smoak will be back in the lineup against the left-handed […]

Chris Davis is Out on Thursday

Baltimore Orioles first baseman Chris Davis (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Oakland Athletics. Davis is hitless over his last four games, so it's not surprising to see him get the night off. Trey Mancini will play first base and bat cleanup versus lefty Brett Anderson.

Ji-Man Choi Provides Key Blow Versus Indians Wednesday

Tampa Bay Rays first baseman Ji-Man Choi struck the major offensive blow of the game Wednesday versus Cleveland. His first-inning two-run homer would end up being the game-winner in a 3-1 victory. Choi had three HR in his past three games and seven since his July 11 when he was called up most recently. He […]

Joe Mauer's Career May Be Winding Down

Minnesota Twins first baseman Joe Mauer may consider hanging up his cleats after the season. The 35-year-old will take his time after the season to consider a multitude of factors before deciding if he will return in 2019. The veteran is batting .274 on the season but has only seven home runs and 43 RBI […]

Greg Bird Breaks Up No-Hitter

The New York Yankees offense did not show up in Wednesday night's series finale against the Minnesota Twins at Target Field. While struggling ace Luis Severino pitched quite well, the offense failed to record a hit through the first seven innings. After Luke Voit reached on a walk with one out, however, fellow first baseman […]

Matt Olson Hits 26th Homer Wednesday

Oakland Athletics first baseman Matt Olson hit his 26th homer of the year off Andrew Cashner in a 10-0 win over the Orioles. The first baseman went 2-for-4 with a run and three RBI.

Hunter Dozier Scratched Wednesday

Kansas City Royals first baseman Hunter Dozier (back) was scratched from the starting lineup with a sore back on Wednesday. Ryan O'Hearn will fill in at first base and bat ninth against White Sox starter Carlos Rodon. Dozier is getting playing time in a lost season for the Royals. He's batting just .233 with nine […]

Jose Ramirez Gets Cleveland's Only Hit of the Day

Cleveland Indians infielder Jose Ramirez got the only hit of the day for his team, hitting a solo home run in the seventh inning.
