Yangervis Solarte Activated From DL

The Toronto Blue Jays activated infielder Yangervis Solarte (oblique) from the 10-day disabled list on Sunday, and he will play second base and hit seventh against Indians starter Mike Clevinger.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 45% of leagues ANALYSIS: It has taken forever for people to realize that Johan Camargo is the third baseman for the Atlanta Braves and is more than a low-budget fill-in.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 11% of leagues ANALYSIS: Tampa Bay Rays infielder Matt Duffy has been overlooked all season yet continues to excel at what he is capable of providing; he is a batting average guy.

Brian Dozier Will Lead Off on Saturday

Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman Brian Dozier will lead off and play second base versus lefty Kyle Freeland on Saturday. Dozier is hitless over his last five games, but hopefully that will change on Saturday. Freeland has been pitching well this season, so it's tough to trust Dozier with how he's been playing lately. Most […]

Joe Panik is Sitting Out on Saturday

San Francisco Giants second baseman Joe Panik (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. Panik is looking at a routine day off against a left-handed starter.

Yoan Moncada Will Lead Off on Saturday

Chicago White Sox second baseman Yoan Moncada will lead off and play second base versus righty Matt Shoemaker on Saturday. Moncada has hit for some power this season, but has not really lived up to the hype. Moncada is normally not even worth looking at for DFS contests. However, when leading off he has some […]

Brandon Phillips To Work Out At First Base

Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora said second baseman Brandon Phillips will start working out at first base. The veteran hit a two-run, game-winning homer to help beat the Braves 9-8 in an epic comeback on Wednesday.

Ketel Marte, Steven Souza Jr. Out on Friday

Jon Jay will lead off and play right field, while Daniel Descalso plays second base and bats sixth versus righty Kevin Gausman. Descalso can be avoided in DFS contests and […]

Brian Dozier is Sitting Out on Friday

Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman Brian Dozier (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Colorado Rockies. Dozier has not recorded a hit in five consecutive games. He's in a bit of a slump, so he'll receive his second off day of the week on Friday. Kike Hernandez will play second […]

Mike Moustakas is Sitting Out on Friday

Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Mike Moustakas (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the San Francisco Giants. Moustakas has been in a slump lately and does not hit left-handed pitching well. Travis Shaw will slide over to third base and bat sixth, while Jonathan Schoop bats fifth and plays second base […]

Marwin Gonzalez Could Return Saturday

Houston Astros infielder Marwin Gonzalez (oblique) is "trending in the right direction" and could start in left field on Saturday, according to manager A.J. Hinch. Gonzalez hasn't been as good as he was last year and is hitting .247/.324/.409 with 14 home runs and 58 RBI on the year. Still, he can be useful in […]

Adam Frazier is Out on Friday

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder/second baseman Adam Frazier (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Miami Marlins.

Josh Harrison Still Unable to Play

Pittsburgh Pirates second baseman Josh Harrison (hamstring) remains out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Miami Marlins. This marks Harrison's fifth straight game sidelined.

Ben Zobrist Scratched Friday

Chicago Cubs infielder/outfielder Ben Zobrist (neck) was scratched from the lineup on Friday with a stiff neck. Ian Happ will take his place and play center field and bat ninth against Nationals starter Joe Ross. Happ isn't a bad DFS play, but his upside is severely capped while hitting at the bottom of the order […]

Dustin Pedroia Officially Shut Down For Season

Boston Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia (knee) has officially been shut down for the rest of the year. The Red Sox also revealed that Pedroia had another surgery on his knee at the end of July.

Jose Altuve Hitting .357 In Road Games

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve will look to shake loose from a 4-for-27 (.148) slump when the team opens up a huge series with the Red Sox. Altuve has done his most damage hitting away from Minute Maid Park this season and also has a favorable matchup against Red Sox starter David Price. In […]

Buy or Sell - Undervalued and Overvalued Players for Week 24

The baseball season is on its last legs, but it's never too late to buy or sell from the plethora of talented players available in fantasy baseball waiver pools.
