Joe Mauer Sitting, Logan Morrison Back In Lineup On Thursday

Minnesota Twins first baseman Joe Mauer will sit on Thursday afternoon against the Chicago White Sox. Logan Morrison will take Mauer's place at first, though neither would be quality fantasy options in the matchup. Outfielder Eddie Rosario returns to his spot batting second in the lineup, while outfielder Robbie Grossman will take over designated hitter […]

Max Muncy Mashes Solo Home Run Wednesday

Los Angeles Dodgers first/third baseman Max Muncy went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Wednesday's 7-5 win over the Cubs. Muncy got things started by launching a first-inning Kyle Hendricks offering over the center field wall for his 16th HR this season. The 27-year-old has been a big surprise fantasy-wise, posting […]

Niko Goodrum's Struggles Continue

Detroit Tigers utility man Niko Goodrum has become an everyday player this season, primarily playing second base and outfield. He's got a little bit of value in deeper, AL-only leagues with seven homers and six steals on the year, especially considering that he has eligibility at five positions. But over the last seven games, Goodrum […]

Power Risers/Fallers for Week 13: Buy or Sell?

Welcome to Week 13 of the 2018 MLB season and a new week of our investigation into the steepest power trenders in baseball, whether those trends are positive or negative. As the season steamrolls through June, the window of opportunity to snag a surging slugger or to deal a down-and-out disappointment grows shorter with every […]

Chris Davis Obliterates Three-Run Home Run Wednesday

Baltimore Orioles first baseman Chris Davis had a big day at the plate on Wednesday against the Mariners, going 2-for-5 with a single and a three-run home run. Davis destroyed an eighth-inning Alex Colome fastball out onto Eutaw Street for his sixth HR of the season. The power-hitting lefty has struggled mightily this season, hitting […]

Derek Dietrich Linked To Brewers In Trade Rumors

Miami Marlins utility player Derek Dietrich has recently been linked to numerous trade rumors, with one of the teams being the Milwaukee Brewers. Dietrich is having arguably his best offensive season of his career, batting .303 with 11 home runs, 30 RBI and an OPS of .845 in 271 at-bats. Dietrich still has two more […]

Anthony Rizzo Resting Wednesday

Chicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo will receive a day of rest on Wednesday versus the Dodgers. Outfielder Ian Happ will replace Rizzo and bat eighth against left-hander Alex Wood. Happ is hitting .240 versus left-handed pitching and only has two of his nine home runs against lefties. Rizzo should be back in the lineup […]

Greg Bird Out, Neil Walker In For Yankees

Struggling New York Yankees first baseman Greg Bird will be given the night off on Wednesday as the club seeks a sweep of the Philadelphia Phillies at Citizens Bank Park. The 25-year-old has been abysmal since making his season debut following ankle surgery. Bird is hitting only .193 with three home runs and six RBI […]

Cody Bellinger Looking More Like Himself In June

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Cody Bellinger continued to turn things around in Tuesday's 9-4 loss to the Cubs. The 22-year-old went 2-for-4 with two singles and an RBI. After an abysmal extended start to the season, Bellinger looks like he may have figured things out in June, as he has posted a .279/.410/.691 slash […]

Justin Bour Absent From Wednesday's Lineup

Miami Marlins slugger Justin Bour is getting a day off on Wednesday. Interestingly enough, J.T. Realmuto (hand) will be getting the start at first base. Bour's numbers are down from last season, but the big power still remains. He has a .240 average with 13 home runs and 37 RBI through 78 games. He is […]

Joey Votto Ejected In First Inning

Cincinnati Reds first baseman Joey Votto was ejected for arguing a called strike in the first inning of Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Braves. Votto took exception to what he felt was a bad strike-three call and got animated pretty quickly in arguing with home plate umpire Carlos Torres. Votto finishes the game 0-for-1 with […]

Ian Desmond Carries Colorado Offense

Colorado Rockies first baseman Ian Desmond, the most hated player in Denver for the first two months of the season, brought almost enough offense to carry the day for the Rockies on Tuesday. Desmond's day began with his 16th home run of the season to get Colorado on the board, and he finished his night […]

Lucas Duda Out On Wednesday

With the Kansas City Royals playing a set at a National League park, first baseman Lucas Duda is getting the day off on Wednesday while rookie Hunter Dozier takes his spot. Duda has played in four straight games since his return from the disabled list last week, but he's only actually played the field in […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (6/27/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

Hello my friends, and welcome back to another Wednesday edition. We've got 11 games on the Main slate tonight with a heavy dose of Eastern and Central time zone games and just two out west. Pitching looks like it's going to be a bit tricky to navigate here, too, which should make tournaments a bit […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (6/27/18): MLB DFS Lineups

We're back to a sizable Wednesday, although it is broken into two slates. There is a three game early slate, but this article will focus around the larger 11 game slate. There are plenty of options in all pricing tiers tonight, making lineup construction fairly interesting. In this article, I will be providing you with […]

Dominic Smith Wears Golden Sombrero As Struggles Continue

Between his initial MLB debut in the summer of 2017 and his results since being called back up in mid-June of this season, you can’t really ask for a much worse first impression than the one New York Mets first baseman/outfielder Dominic Smith has displayed. In a 4-3 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday, […]

Jake Bauers Drives In Decisive Run Tuesday Versus Washington

Tampa Bay Rays first baseman Jake Bauers drove in the only run of the game Tuesday versus the Nationals. With runners on first and third with one out, he hit the ball to the right side of the infield. Bauers would hustle down the line and beat the relay throw to first to prevent a […]

Wil Myers Records First Multi-Hit Game Since Activation

San Diego Padres outfielder Wil Myers went 2-for-4 with an RBI double and run scored in Tuesday's victory against the Texas Rangers. Myers led the Padres comeback charge by plating a run with his two-base hit in the eighth inning and came around to score on outfielder Hunter Renfroe's double two batters later. The two-bagger […]

Jose Martinez Homers and Drives in Three Runs On Tuesday

St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Jose Martinez had a strong game on Tuesday, finishing 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI. Martinez cranked a three-run home run in the second inning and brought his batting average up to .302. He started the season off without showing off too much power, but he's been hitting […]

Matt Carpenter Has a Monster Game on Tuesday

St. Louis Cardinals infielder Matt Carpenter had a monster game on Tuesday, going 5-for-5 with five runs scored and three RBI. Carpenter totaled 12 bases, with two home runs, two singles, and a double. After a terrible start to the season, Carpenter is more than making up for it lately. Hitting atop a good Cardinals […]

Freddie Freeman Drives In Run In Loss

Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman did what he could to help his team on Tuesday, going 1-for-4 and both driving in and scoring a run. Alas, it wasn't enough as Matt Harvey, while not dominant, kept them off balance for nearly seven innings as the Braves fell to the Reds, 5-3. Freeman has fallen […]

Kole Calhoun, Luis Valbuena Sit Against Left-Hander

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Kole Calhoun and infielder Luis Valbuena will sit on Tuesday against left-hander David Price. Calhoun has hit well since returning from the disabled list, but it looks like he will still be held out against left-handers, at least for now. Michael Hermosillo will take his place in right field, batting ninth. […]

Orlando Arcia is Sitting on Tuesday

Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Orlando Arcia (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Kansas City Royals. Arcia continues to struggle on offense, so the Brewers are going to give him some rest. Brad Miller will draw the start at shortstop and bat fifth on Tuesday. Arcia is really only worth a […]

J.T. Realmuto is Out on Tuesday

Miami Marlins catcher J.T. Realmuto (hand) is out of the starting lineup on Tuesday versus the Arizona Diamondbacks. He has now missed back-to-back starts after taking a foul ball to the wrist on Sunday. Bryan Holaday will draw another start behind the plate on Tuesday. The Marlins consider Realmuto as day-to-day, so he won't head […]
