DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (9/28/23): Today's Top MLB DFS Lineups

This article contains my picks for the five-game main slate on Thursday, September 28, 2023, for both DraftKings and FanDuel, which […]

Jeimer Candelario Activated On Wednesday

Chicago Cubs infielder Jeimer Candelario (back) has been activated from the injured list on Wednesday. This is great news for the Cubs who are desperately trying to hold onto a Wild Card spot. Candelario has been out of the lineup since mid-September due to a lower back strain. He'll return on Wednesday, while Christopher Morel […]

Nolan Schanuel Remains Absent On Wednesday

Los Angeles Angels first baseman Nolan Schanuel (knee) remains out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Texas Rangers. The 21-year-old was forced to exit early on Monday after getting hit by a pitch in the knee. Schanuel will now miss his second game in a row because of the injury. For now, […]

Ryan Mountcastle Back From Injured List

The Baltimore Orioles activated first baseman Ryan Mountcastle (shoulder) from the 10-day injured list on Wednesday and optioned outfielder Ryan McKenna to the minors in a corresponding move.

Joey Votto Absent From Wednesday's Starting Lineup

Cincinnati Reds first baseman/designated hitter Joey Votto is not in the starting lineup Wednesday night versus the Cleveland Guardians and right-hander Shane Bieber. The potential Hall of Famer drew a trio of walks and scored a run across five plate appearances in Tuesday's 11-7 come-from-behind win over the Guardians but will yield DH duties to […]

Luis Arraez Remains Out For Game 1 Of Twin Bill Wednesday

Miami Marlins second baseman Luis Arraez (ankle) is not in the starting lineup for Game 1 of Wednesday's straight doubleheader with the New York Mets and left-hander Joey Lucchesi.
