Pirates Call Up Kevin Kramer

The Pittsburgh Pirates called up infield prospect Kevin Kramer, among others, from Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday. Kramer, the team's No. 7 prospect, is really the only notable name among the handful of players added to the roster Tuesday. He hit .311/.365/.492 with 15 home runs, 59 RBI and 13 steals in 129 games with Indy […]

Rafael Devers Activated Off Of Disabled List

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers was activated off of the 10-day disabled list on Tuesday afternoon. Devers had missed a couple of weeks with a hamstring strain. A trendy breakout pick coming into the season, the 21-year-old has heartily disappointed those fantasy owners who spent a draft pick on him. Devers has a […]

Abiatal Avelino Being Called Up

The San Francisco Giants will call up infield prospect Abiatal Avelino from the minors on Tuesday. Avelino was acquired from the Yankees in the Andrew McCutchen deal.

NL-Only Waiver Wire Team of the Week: MLB Week 23

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 […]

Adam Frazier Stays Hot With Huge Night

Pittsburgh Pirates second baseman Adam Frazier had a monster night on Monday. Frazier had four hits, one of which was a home run. He also had three RBI and two runs. Frazier can be picked up in most leagues, and makes a great addition to your team in the fantasy playoffs. Frazier is slashing an […]

Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies hit his 22nd homer of the season during Monday's 8-2 loss to the Boston Red Sox. It was just Albies' second homer since July 11.

Scooter Gennett Hits 20th Homer Monday

Cincinnati Reds second baseman Scooter Gennett went 2-for-4 with a double and a solo homer in his team's 5-1 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Monday. The home run gives Gennett his second consecutive 20-home run season after hitting just 35 in his four seasons with the Milwaukee Brewers. Overall, Gennett is slashing .320/.368/.503 with […]

Ketel Marte is Sitting Out

Arizona Diamondbacks infielder Ketel Marte (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the San Diego Padres. Marte has started six straight games coming into Monday, so he'll get the night off to rest. Daniel Descalso will bat sixth and play second versus righty Bryan Mitchell. DFS players can go ahead and […]

Brian Dozier Will Sit Out on Monday

Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman Brian Dozier (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the New York Mets. Dozier is hitless through his last three games, so the Dodgers will give him the night off. Max Muncy will play second base and bat cleanup versus righty Jacob deGrom. It's not a […]

Devon Travis is Out on Monday

Toronto Blue Jays second baseman Devon Travis (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. This appears to be a routine rest day for Travis who has started six straight games. Travis has not been much of a fantasy asset all year, so he should remain on the […]

Marwin Gonzalez Injured Monday

Houston Astros infielder Marwin Gonzalez (oblique) left the game early on Monday with right oblique discomfort. Gonzalez didn't have a plate appearance in the game before leaving. Oblique injuries can be tricky to recover from, so this could be an extended absence for Gonzalez. The utility man is hitting .247/.324/.409 with 14 home runs, 52 […]

Red Sox To Activate Rafael Devers, Add Brandon Phillips

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers (hamstring) will be activated from the disabled list on Tuesday, and the team will also recall second baseman Brandon Phillips from the minors.

We have a full, 15-game slate on Labor Day, so every team is available in the player pool. That’s great news and that’s overwhelming news.

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (9/3/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

While having all 30 teams in action is a welcomed development for this Monday slate, FanDuel unfortunately broke up the slate so that there isn't the majority of games unless you play the all day slate (which doesn't offer major tournaments). That said, this lineup will focus on the early only slate, which features seven […]

Statcast Hitter Analysis - Exit Velocity Risers/Fallers (Week 23)

Even if you know very little about Statcast, you know exit velocity. Even the most hardened, old-school baseball announcer has at least incorporated this term in his vernacular, if nothing else related to sabermetrics. As the second half progresses, we'll take another look at this important stat by examining the last month's worth of data […]

AL-Only Waiver Wire Team of the Week: MLB Week 23

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 […]

Javier Baez Reaches Multiple Milestones Sunday

Chicago Cubs shortstop Javier Baez reached multiple milestone numbers Sunday versus Philadelphia. He would line a solo homer off ace Aaron Nola to increase the Cubs lead to 3-0. The blast would take him to 30-HR and was also his 100th RBI of the season. The 100 RBI would help him retain at least a […]

Daniel Murphy Gets To An Ace Sunday

Chicago Cubs second baseman Daniel Murphy continued to impress Sunday versus the Phillies. With the game tied at 0-0, Murphy was behind in the count to a Cy Young hopeful Aaron Nola who threw a high inside fastball. Somehow, Murphy got up there quick enough to get solid wood on the ball and drive it […]

Max Muncy Hits 31st Home Run Of Season Sunday

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Max Muncy went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Diamondbacks. The 28-year-old, who was a fantasy All-Star for the first half of the season, has cooled off significantly and has hit just .226 with nine HR in the second half. It would […]

Jonathan Villar Hits Solo Home Run Sunday

Baltimore Orioles second baseman/shortstop Jonathan Villar went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 9-1 loss to the Royals. Villar crushed an opposite-field blast off of a Jorge Lopez fastball in the first inning. The 27-year-old has hit .261 with five HR, 14 RBI, and 10 stolen bases in 29 games since joining the […]

Alex Verdugo, Andrew Toles Among Dodgers Call-Ups

The Los Angeles Dodgers called up outfield prospect Alex Verdugo and outfielder Andrew Toles when rosters expanded on Saturday. The club also activated second baseman Chase Utley (thumb) from the disabled list. Verdugo was hitting well in the minors and is one of the team's top prospects. He and Toles are unlikely to see much […]

Brewers Call Up Domingo Santana, Keon Broxton Among Others

The Milwaukee Brewers called up catcher Jacob Nottingham, infielder Tyler Saladino, reliever Brandon Woodruff and outfielders Domingo Santana and Keon Broxton from the minors when rosters expanded on Saturday. Santana had a breakout in 2017 but was sent to the farm in June when he struggled to begin the year. He hit .283 with eight […]

Albert Almora Jr., Ben Zobrsit Out Of Lineup Sunday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Albert Almora Jr. (rest) and utility man Ben Zobrist (rest) are not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies. Nothing was reported in terms of injuries, so it appears to be just a routine day off. Daniel Murphy will start at second with Ian Happ patrolling center field with Kris […]

In this article, I will be […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (9/2/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice
