Lucas Duda With Another Multihit Game

Kansas City Royals first baseman Lucas Duda is a famously temperamental hitter, and he may be getting hot. For the third time in five days, Duda had a multihit game on Saturday. Duda had a pair of doubles against the Tigers, and this follows up five singles in his previous 14 at-bats. He hasn't started […]

Anthony Rizzo Continues To Enjoy May

After an April to forget, Chicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo hit his third home run in the past four games on Saturday. Rizzo is now 6-for-19 in the month of April with three home runs with three runs and four RBI in April. Rizzo is known as a very streaky hitter, but when he’s […]

Ryan Zimmerman Out Of Lineup On Saturday

Washington Nationals first baseman Ryan Zimmerman has been scratched from the lineup against the Phillies due to back stiffness. The decision by manager Dave Martinez was likely precautionary given Zimmerman's age and injury history. The slugging first baseman has had a tumultuous start to the year as his batting average is a mere .194, however […]

Matt Adams Batting Third, Playing Left Field Saturday

Washington Nationals first baseman Matt Adams finds himself batting third and starting in left field again today. Adams has been on a tear as of late, and he hit another home run on Friday against Philadelphia. He generally hits right-handed pitching well, but so far this season he has been a revelation in a platoon […]

Hitter Streamers (Week 6) - Head-to-Head Leagues

Welcome back to my hitting streamers column for Week 6, taking a look at hitters to add or stream off the waiver wire for this week's scheduled games. To keep things simple, I pick from players who are 50% owned or less and who play at least seven games in the week.  If someone jumps […]

Paul Goldschmidt Held Hitless Once Again

Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Paul Goldschmidt went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts in Friday night's loss to the Astros. The entire Arizona lineup was at the mercy of Gerrit Cole on Friday, mustering just one hit and one walk against him. This marked Goldschmidt's fourth straight game without a hit. Over his last 10 games, he […]

Luke Voit Optioned To Triple-A Memphis

St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Luke Voit was optioned to Triple-A Memphis on Friday after not playing any in the two games he was on the major league roster. As long as Jose Martinez has success in the majors, Voit will struggle to have any sort of role. He could hold some value in dynasty […]

Miguel Cabrera Lands On Disabled List

Detroit Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera (hamstring) is headed for the 10-day disabled list, club sources announced Friday. The veteran slugger had missed a few games earlier in the season with back tightness, and then missed three consecutive games with biceps spasms earlier this week. In his return from the lineup from the biceps issue, […]

Buy or Sell - Underowned and Overowned Players for Week 6

It was nice to see Drew Pomeranz toss a quality start (finally) and prove that he's not a carcass of a former Rockies pitcher like Jhoulys Chacin. This, however, is a disclaimer that some of these buy-low/sell-high candidates may not pan out right away. Or ever. I'm still hoping that as soon as Domingo Santana […]

Brad Miller Homers Off The Bench Friday Versus The Blue Jays

Tampa Bay Rays first baseman Brad Miller did not start the game but still impacted it Friday versus Toronto. He came in off the bench to take over the designated hitter spot and hit a two-run home run. It was his third of the season and brings his season RBI total to 12. Miller is […]

Carlos Santana Fighting To End Slump

Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Carlos Santana has gotten off to a rocky start in his tenure for the club. The 32-year-old newly-signed former Cleveland Indian was hitting .151 entering Friday night’s game against the Washington Nationals. He arguably had his best offensive game in nearly a month, recording two hits, including a home run, to […]

Jesus Aguilar Ups Hitting Streak To Four Games

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Jesus Aguilar went 1-for-3 with a run and an RBI in the 6-4 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates. Aguilar has been filling in for an injured Eric Thames since April 25 and so far has looked great. In his last four games, he has batted 5-for-12 for a .417 batting average […]

Ryan Braun Expected To Return To Lineup On Saturday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun (calf) is expected to return to the lineup on Saturday, presumably at left field or first base. Brewers manager Craig Counsell disclosed that Braun was going to get the day off regardless of whether or not he was injured, and he now has had two days off to recover from […]

Jose Abreu Hits His Seventh Home Run On Friday

Chicago White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu went 3-for-5 Friday and hit his seventh home run of the season. Abreu also picked up three RBI. Abreu needed a big game, as he’s been in a bit of a funk lately. Fantasy owners are sure hoping that this performance will get Abreu going, and he will […]

Cody Bellinger Missing From Friday's Lineup

The Los Angeles Dodgers have the highest payroll in baseball but due to injuries and rest days, their Friday lineup looks more reminiscent of a Triple-A team. First baseman Cody Bellinger will be getting a day off on Friday, as he has played eight games in the past week. Bellinger is still one of the […]

Jay Bruce Starting At First Base Friday

New York Mets outfielder Jay Bruce is switching over to a position he became familiar with in 2017 -- first base. Bruce has been taking repetitions at the position over the last few weeks, and even though it’s not his preferred position, he said he’ll do whatever the team asks of him. This move is […]

Lucas Duda Singles In Four Runs

Kansas City Royals first baseman Lucas Duda racked up three singles against the Tigers on Thursday, and they came at critical moments en route to the win. Duda cracked all three singles with runners in scoring position, and he finished with four RBI on the day. Duda has hit about as well as expected, but […]

Giovanny Urshela Designated for Assignment on Friday

Cleveland Indians infielder Giovanny Urshela was designated for assignment on Friday. The 26-year-old utility infielder made appearances at first, second, third, and shortstop last season. He was expected to make the team out of Spring Training, but a hamstring injury kept him off the Opening Day roster. He was hitting well in Triple-A, slashing .324/.405/.432, […]

DraftDaily Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (5/4/18): MLB DFS Lineups

If you've never played on Draft Daily before, it is fairly similar to the other sites, but you tend to lose more points. Points are taken away for strikeouts and home runs allowed, but you also earn points for sacrifice flies. Before creating a lineup, make sure you look over the scoring system. In this […]

Tyler Austin (1B, NYY) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 23% of leagues ANALYSIS: New York Yankees first baseman Tyler Austin has made the most of a Spring Training injury to Greg Bird and has been one of the best rookies of the 2018 season. Austin was actually sent down to Triple-A to start the season […]

Matt Adams (1B, WAS) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 24% of leagues ANALYSIS: Washington Nationals first baseman Matt Adams, who posted an .858 OPS with the Braves last season, is back to his slugging ways in the NL East. He has a 1.042 OPS this season, slugging six home runs in just 61 at-bats and […]

Logan Morrison Falls A Triple Shy Of The Cycle

Minnesota Twins designated hitter Logan Morrison turned in a big game at the plate on Thursday. Morrison went 3-for-4 with a single, a double, a homer, two runs and two RBI, falling just a triple shy of hitting for the cycle. Morrison got off to a painfully slow start for the Twins in 2018 but […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (5/4/18): MLB DFS Lineups

It is a full 15-game slate on Friday with seven games boasting an over/under of at least nine total runs. The CLE/NYY matchup leads the way with ten total projected runs and New York is the strong favorite. More on them much later (Hint: it isn’t good for Josh Tomlin). Speaking of heavy favorites, only […]

Week 6 Waiver Wire - H2H Category Streamers

I like to consider myself a pioneer of the streaming approach. I won a league about seven years ago 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 roster […]

Miguel Cabrera Leaves Thursday's Game with Strained Hamstring

It has been an injury-riddled campaign so far for Detroit Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera (hamstring). The 35-year-old was removed from Thursday's game after straining his hamstring in the sixth inning. He had just returned to the Tigers lineup after missing the previous three games with bicep spasms, but now it looks likely that he […]
