Champ or Chump: Keston Hiura and Jose Ramirez

The Brewers have summoned top prospect Keston Hiura to replace the injured (and struggling) Travis Shaw on their roster, giving fantasy owners another hyped toy to play with. Unfortunately, it appears as though the excitement surrounding the 22-year-old's big league debut far outpaces his realistic output, potentially driving many owners to waste FAAB or waiver […]

Neil Walker Hits For Ninth Straight

Miami Marlins second baseman Neil Walker went 1-for-4 on Wednesday in the loss to the Rays, marking his ninth straight game in which he has had at least one hit. While the Marlins continue to have issues offensively, the 33-year-old has been a semi-consistent source of production by leading the team with a .294 average. […]

Top 30 Impact Prospects for Redraft Leagues (Week 7)

Another week, another whack of promotions from the Top 30 list. In his eighth pro season, outfielder Harold Ramirez finally earned a shot with the last-place Marlins after hitting .355 in 31 Triple-A games. The Indians have finally turned to Oscar Mercado for help with their beleaguered outfield. With Collin McHugh struggling to a 6.37 ERA […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (5/16/19): MLB DFS Lineups

Thursday brings us another 10 game slate, but frustratingly once again with a split, and weirdly with one game (BAL @ CLE) missing off both slates entirely.

Gleyber Torres Homers Three Times Wednesday

Starting both games of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Baltimore Orioles, New York Yankees infielder Gleyber Torres had himself quite the day. Starting at shortstop, Torres drilled two home runs in the first game and added another in the nightcap as the Yankees swept both games. The 22-year-old now has eight home runs and 20 RBI […]

Addison Russell Goes Yard

Chicago Cubs middle infielder Addison Russell hit his first home run of the season on Wednesday versus the Cincinnati Reds. Russell finished the game 2-for-4 with two runs scored and two RBI. Russell recently returned from a 40 game suspension and is nothing more than a watch list candidate at the moment.

Dustin Pedroia Can't Get Past Knee Injury

Boston Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia (knee) was pulled from his rehab assignment again on Monday with "minor left knee soreness." He was also scratched from the lineup before a game with Double-A Portland on Saturday, which was supposed to be the first of three straight games as he works his way back from […]

Starlin Castro Extends Hit Streak To Six Games

Miami Marlins second baseman Starlin Castro went 1-for-4 during the loss to the Rays on Tuesday. The nine-year veteran has a total of nine hits spanning over the last six games for a Marlins squad that has been cold offensively all season long. He will look to keep it going on Wednesday against Ryne Stanek […]

Digging Deeper: NL-Only Waiver Wire Report for Week 7

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 […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (5/15/19): MLB DFS Lineups

We have 13 games on the slate tonight, split into two pretty even slates. There are plenty of pitching options to decipher through, with just as many bad pitchers to take advantage of. There are a ton of bats to pay up for, but we have to be careful with these prices on DraftKings. Let's […]

Ketel Marte Batting Leadoff Tuesday

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte will bat leadoff and play center field on Tuesday, against the Pittsburgh Pirates' Joe Musgrove. This will be just the fifth time this season that Marte has set the table for Arizona. In 17 at-bats in the leadoff spot this season, he has just three hits, including two home […]

Scooter Gennett Nearing Return To Baseball-Related Activities

Cincinnati Reds second baseman Scooter Gennett (groin) was on the field playing catch with infielders on Tuesday. Gennett has been out since spring training with a right groin strain and hasn't gotten close to any strenuous activity yet but manager David Bell hints that baseball-related activities could be close. "Very encouraged by all reports and, […]

Jonathan Schoop is Returning on Tuesday

Minnesota Twins second baseman Jonathan Schoop (shoulder) is back in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. Schoop missed a few games due to left shoulder soreness. Luckily, it wasn't anything serious, so he won't need any time on the injured list. He'll bat eighth and play second base versus righty […]

Dee Gordon is Out on Tuesday

Seattle Mariners second baseman Dee Gordon (wrist) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Oakland Athletics. Gordon continues to sit out due to a sore left wrist, but is considered day-to-day. Tim Beckham will slide over to second base and bat seventh versus lefty Brett Anderson. Beckham hasn't been great with […]

Ben Zobrist Still Without A Timetable

Chicago Cubs utility man Ben Zobrist (personal matter) continues to be without a return date as he is dealing with a personal matter. Zobrist has been away from the team since May 7 and the Cubs have turned to versatile players such as David Bote, Daniel Descalso and Addison Russell in Zobrist’s absence. Outside of […]

Travis Shaw Likely Heading to the Injured List

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Travis Shaw (wrist) is likely heading to the 10-day injured list on Tuesday with a wrist injury. It has been a very slow start to the 2019 season for the 29-year-old, who is batting just .163 with four home runs and 50 strikeouts through 135 at-bats. Top prospect Keston Hiura has been […]

Yoan Moncada Out Of Tuesday’s Lineup

Chicago White Sox infielder Yoan Moncada will rest on Tuesday versus the Cleveland Indians. Moncada hit a pair of home runs on Monday, but is 0-for-12 with ten strikeouts versus Tuesday’s starter, Carlos Carrasco. Jose Rondon will replace Moncada on Tuesday and can be avoided in a tough matchup.

Keston Hiura Called Up By Brewers

The Milwaukee Brewers are calling up top prospect Keston Hiura to the big leagues on Tuesday. The 22-year-old was off to a great start in Triple-A, slashing .333/.408/.698 to go along with 11 home runs, 26 RBI, 23 runs and four stolen bases with San Antonio. Hiura will primarily play second base as the slumping […]

Nicky Lopez Getting Called Up

The Kansas City Royals have elected to call up 24-year-old prospect Nicky Lopez for Tuesday's game. The second baseman is one of the team's top 10 prospects according to pretty much every scout out there, and he has raked so far this year in Triple-A Omaha. Lopez has hit .353 with three home runs and […]

Brendan Rodgers Hits Two Home Runs

Colorado Rockies top prospect Brendan Rodgers continued his pummeling of Triple-A pitching on Monday by drilling a pair of solo homers in Fresno. The 22-year-old has been destroying pitching so far this season to the tune of a 1.060 OPS with nine long balls. He's cut his strikeout rate down to 15.5%, he's walking nearly […]

Pat Valaika Called Up Once Again

The Colorado Rockies have summoned infielder Pat Valaika back to the majors to replace the struggling Garrett Hampson. Valaika is still riding high off a bout of success he had in a short stint in the majors two years ago, but so far this season, he's hit .074 in his first 27 at-bats in the […]

Garrett Hampson Demoted To Triple-A

The Colorado Rockies have sent second baseman Garrett Hampson back to Triple-A to try to work out what's wrong with his swing, and they've called up atrocious utility man Pat Valaika to take his spot because they apparently hate Brendan Rodgers. Hampson was given 93 scattered at-bats to prove himself, and he hit a paltry […]

Whit Merrifield To Spend More Time In OF

The Kansas City Royals moved utility man Whit Merrifield to second base recently due to concern over the wear and tear of playing the outfield every day, but they've reversed course on that decision now that they've elected to bring up Nicky Lopez. Merrifield assured management that he'd have no problem handling the job, so […]

Cesar Hernandez Stays Hot Vs Brewers

Philadelphia Phillies second baseman Cesar Hernandez went 2-for-3 with two RBI and three runs scored vs Milwaukee Monday night. Hernandez has been red-hot lately, his .429 average in the Month of May is third in the Majors and his 1.186 OPS is seventh. Hernandez has always been an on-base machine but this season he's brought […]
