Yolmer Sanchez Gets Three Hits

Chicago White Sox second baseman Yolmer Sanchez went 3-for-4 with a run scored on Thursday versus the Houston Astros. Sanchez had a double and two singles on the evening and is now hitting .235 for the season and doesn’t offer much potential in all formats. Sanchez can remain on waivers.

Lourdes Gurriel Set To Rejoin Toronto

Toronto Blue Jays infielder Lourdes Gurriel is being recalled by the club on Friday. Gurriel burst on the scene in 2018, hitting 11 home runs in 65 games with the Blue Jays. After struggling in 13 games this year, Gurriel was sent to Triple-A Buffalo on April 15. In 29 minor league games, the young infielder […]

Daniel Robertson Leaves Game With Allergic Reaction

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Daniel Robertson left the game early on Thursday due to an allergic reaction. Robertson had a single in two plate appearances before leaving and is hitting just .197/.315/.287 on the year with two home runs. Consider him day-to-day for now. With Yandy Diaz (hand) on the injured list, Robertson and Andrew […]

Blue Jays To Call Up Cavan Biggio

The Toronto Blue Jays are calling up second baseman Cavan Biggio. Cavan, son of Hall of Famer Craig Biggio, will be making his Major League debut. The younger Biggio was a fifth-round draft pick of the Blue Jays in 2016 after playing college baseball at Notre Dame. In 41 Triple-A games with Buffalo this year, […]

Tony Kemp Covers Second Base on Thursday

Houston Astros outfielder/infielder Tony Kemp will slide over to second base for Thursday's game against the Chicago White Sox. Aledmys Diaz has been playing second base lately, but he'll bat sixth and cover first base against righty Lucas Giolito. Kemp gets to move from the outfield to second base, but honestly doesn't offer much fantasy […]

Cesar Hernandez Taking A Day Off

Philadelphia Phillies second baseman Cesar Hernandez is not in the starting lineup against Cubs left-handed starting pitcher Jon Lester on Thursday. Scott Kingery is starting at the keystone and is hitting sixth in the batting order. Kingery has two hits in his 11 at-bats (.182) with five strikeouts since returning from the injured list. His […]

Josh Harrison, JaCoby Jones Out Thursday

Detroit Tigers second baseman Josh Harrison and outfielder JaCoby Jones are not in the starting lineup on Thursday. Ronny Rodriguez is starting at the keystone and is hitting fifth, while Niko Goodrum is in center field and batting second against Marlins starting pitcher Trevor Richards. Nobody in Detroit's lineup is very attractive for daily lineups. […]

Daniel Murphy Will Rest on Thursday

Colorado Rockies infielder Daniel Murphy (rest) is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The 34-year-old has struggled to start the 2019 season, as he is slashing .190/.253/.380 with three home runs and 17 RBI through 24 games. Ryan McMahon will play first base and bat sixth against Pirates right-hander Jordan […]

Robinson Cano, Jeff McNeil Land on 10-Day Injured List

New York Mets infielder Robinson Cano (left quad strain) and infielder/outfielder Jeff McNeil (left hamstring tightness) have been placed on the 10-day injured list on Thursday. Luis Guillorme and Ryan O’Rourke have been recalled from Syracuse. Cano got off to a slow start in his first season with the Mets, totalling 3 home runs and […]

Champ or Chump: Brendan Rodgers and Austin Riley

The top prospects have been getting called up quickly of late, giving us plenty of options who warrant a closer look. Let's go with 22-year-old kids who took a big step forward at Triple-A this season, are infielders technically playing out of position at the big league level, and were drafted in 2015. Those criteria […]

Digging Deeper: AL-Only Waiver Wire Report for Week 8

Every week in baseball, a significant player will hit the disabled list, slip into a slump, or get traded out of a good spot. How fantasy owners adapt to these situations can make or break the season as a whole. One lousy add might not hurt the long-term standing of a team, but failing to […]

Top 30 Impact Prospects for Redraft Leagues (Week 8)

The top prospect exodus continued last week with Keston Hiura, Austin Riley and Brendan Rodgers all receiving the call to The Show. Riley immediately made his presence known to the Braves with a number of strong performances. Touki Toussaint also continued his up-and-down relationship with the Braves. Even with all the promotions this season already, […]

Keston Hiura Homers Wednesday

Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Keston Kiura went 1-for-5 with a homer in Wednesday's win over the Reds. This is Hiura's second major league home run after having 11 in the minors through 37 games. It's still too early to tell what kind of production to expect from Hiura in the majors, but he has a […]

Mike Moustakas Collects Three Hits Wednesday

Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Mike Moustakas went 3-for-5 with a home run and three runs scored in Wednesday's win over the Reds. Moustakas has been playing a lot of third base recently with the call up of Keston Kiura and should gain eligibility soon. Moustakas is a solid option at second base going forward, especially […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (5/23/19): MLB DFS Lineups

This Thursday slate is absolutely bizarre. There are 10 games in total, but four of them start between 12 and 1 pm, and there is only one game after 7 pm. That means a strange split of the slates on DraftKings. There is a six-game slate beginning at 12:10 pm, with a two-game slate beginning […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (5/23/19): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

There are nine games on the schedule today, with a lot of elite pitching and not much in the way of hitting. We will attempt to find some value, but there's not a whole lot of offense that I am too high on. We see Fanduel being split into an early slate and main slate, […]

Michael Chavis Hits Game-Winning Homer

Boston Red Sox second baseman Michael Chavis hit a game winning solo home run to lift the Red Sox over the Blue Jays Wednesday. There were doubts about him hanging on to the second base job with Eduardo Nunez available and Dustin Pedroia rehabbing, but those are long gone. This was his 10th home run […]

DJ LeMahieu Drills Another Home Run

It has become clearer that the New York Yankees have an MVP through the first two months of the season and his name is DJ LeMahieu. The former Colorado Rockies All-Star has been one of the few Yankees to avoid the IL this season, spending time all around the infield. Wednesday night he recorded two […]

Gleyber Torres Continues To Own Orioles In Win

Following Wednesday's game New York Yankees shortstop Gleyber Torres has 10 home runs this season against the Baltimore Orioles. With four months left in the season, he's four home runs away from tying the all-time record by one player against one team in a major league season. Torres drilled two more home runs Wednesday as […]

Angels-Twins Postponed Thursday

The game between the Los Angeles Angels and Minnesota Twins on Wednesday was postponed due to inclement weather. The game will be made up on Thursday, with Angels starter Matt Harvey and Twins hurler Martin Perez likely being pushed back until then. Hopefully you were able to get any players on these teams out of […]

Robinson Cano Leaves Early Wednesday

New York Mets second baseman Robinson Cano (quadriceps) left the game early in the third inning on Wednesday with left quadriceps tightness. The Mets also scratched infielder Luis Guillorme from the lineup at Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday, so they might be preparing to place Cano on the injured list. The 36-year-old veteran was hitless in […]

Jose Altuve Takes Batting Practice Wednesday

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve (hamstring) did baseball drills on the field and took batting practice on Wednesday with teammates. He'll head on a minor league rehab assignment soon. Altuve has been out since May 11 with a strained left hamstring but has been working out pain-free since Monday. He'll go to either Triple-A […]

Wilmer Flores Has Fractured Foot

Arizona Diamondbacks infielder Wilmer Flores (foot), who was placed on the injured list on Tuesday, has been diagnosed with a foot fracture. It means that Flores probably will be out around a month or more. The 27-year-old was hitting a respectable .281/.326/.398 with only two home runs and 14 RBI in 128 at-bats. He's not […]

Javier Baez To Return Wednesday Night

Chicago Cubs shortstop Javier Baez (heel) will return to the Cubs starting lineup on Wednesday and bat fourth. Baez left Sunday’s game with a heel contusion and didn’t make an appearance until he pinch-hit and drove in the winning run Tuesday night. Baez will face rookie Cole Irvin Wednesday and should be started everyday that […]
