Top Waiver Wire Hitters For Batting Average - Fantasy Baseball Outlook

September is here, which means there is less than a month left in the fantasy baseball season. With such little time remaining for managers to adjust rosters, each add from the waiver wire has to be thought out and serve a specific purpose.  Managers looking to get a leg up in the batting average category […]

Ji Man Choi Suffers Setback

San Diego Padres first baseman/designated hitter Ji Man Choi (ribs, foot) was rehabbing with Triple-A El Paso when he sustained a right Lisfranc injury.

Oakland Athletics prospect Will Simpson is quite new to the organization, having recently joined the team as a 15th-round pick in the 2023 draft.

C.J. Cron Hopes To Play Again This Year

Los Angeles Angels manager Phil Nevin said "it will be a little bit of time" before first baseman C.J. Cron (back) can return to the team. Cron said on Monday that he has yet to start swinging a bat, but he's hoping that he can still return before the end of the season. He also […]

Max Muncy Not In Dodgers Lineup

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Max Muncy (shoulder) is not in the team's lineup as they take on the Miami Marlins on Tuesday. Muncy hurt his left shoulder during a swing in Sunday's series finale against the Atlanta Braves and had to be removed early, and he'll take another day off on Tuesday. Fantasy managers should […]

Anthony Rizzo Shut Down For Remainder Of The Year

The New York Yankees are shutting down first baseman Anthony Rizzo (concussion) for the rest of the year, according to manager Aaron Boone. It shouldn't come as a huge surprise with the Yankees eight games out of the final wild-card spot in the American League entering play on Tuesday. The 34-year-old left-handed slugger had been […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (9/5/23): Today's Top MLB DFS Lineups

I've been summoned from the depths of my couch after five straight days of college football bliss because there is still baseball going on. Five teams have gone rogue and decided to start their games 30 to 60 minutes earlier than the regular start times. In acts of defiance (that's the only rational explanation), DraftKings […]

Ty France Returns To Mariners Lineup

Seattle Mariners first baseman Ty France (elbow) is back at first base and is hitting sixth in the batting order on Monday against right-hander Tejay Antone and the Cincinnati Reds. France was hit by a pitch on the right elbow on Saturday and was held out of Sunday's action as a result. The 29-year-old will […]

Brandon Belt Out Against A's

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman/designated hitter Brandon Belt (back) is not playing on Monday against the Oakland Athletics.

Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Christian Walker (elbow) and outfielder Tommy Pham (finger) are both back in the lineup on Monday to face the visiting Colorado Rockies and right-hander Peter Lambert.

Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Christian Walker (elbow) pinch-hit in the sixth inning of Sunday's game and stayed in to play first base afterward. He got another at-bat in the ninth and proceeded to hit his 30th homer of the season. It appears his elbow is fine after getting hit by a pitch on Saturday, and […]

Joey Votto To Ease Into Hitting

Cincinnati Reds first baseman Joey Votto (shoulder) has been going through his strengthening program and has added on more hitting, according to manager David Bell. However, the Reds haven't given a timetable for Votto's return from the injured list. He was first eligible to return from the IL on Sunday, but that won't happen because […]

Christian Walker Not In The Lineup On Sunday Against The Orioles

Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Christian Walker (elbow) is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Baltimore Orioles. The veteran first baseman was struck by a pitch on his right elbow during Saturday's contest so it makes sense that he would get Sunday off. The 32-year-old underwent X-rays, which came back negative, […]

Josh Naylor Activated And Starting Sunday

Cleveland Guardians first baseman/designated hitter Josh Naylor (oblique) has been activated from the 10-day injured list.

Seattle Mariners first baseman Ty France (elbow) is not in the team's starting lineup on Sunday as they take on the New York Mets in the series finale.

Alec Bohm Playing First Base Sunday

Philadelphia Phillies corner infielder Alec Bohm is starting at first base and hitting fifth against the Milwaukee Brewers and left-hander Wade Miley on Sunday. Bohm will shift across the infield after starting at third base each of the last three games. He's been much better against left-handers this year, going 42-for-133 (.316) with nine of […]
