Daniel Murphy Records Third Straight Multi-Hit Game on Saturday

Washington Nationals second baseman Daniel Murphy went 3-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in a win over the Chicago Cubs on Saturday. It was Murphy's third straight multi-hit game. During his mini-hot streak, the veteran is hitting .667. Murphy has turned things around after a slow start to his season. Now fully healthy, […]

Week 20 Waiver Wire - Second Base (2B) and Shortstop (SS)

At the risk of stating the obvious, time is running out on the 2018 fantasy baseball season. Some head-to-head leagues that end early are already about to begin their postseasons, and most only have a few weeks of regular play remaining. Regardless of format, trade deadlines are likely coming soon if they haven’t already, which […]

Yairo Munoz Placed On DL

The St. Louis Cardinals placed infielder Yairo Munoz (wrist) on the 10-day disabled list on Saturday with a right wrist sprain and recalled infielder Patrick Wisdom from Triple-A Memphis in a corresponding move. Also, reliever Luke Gregerson (shoulder) was moved to the 60-day DL. Munoz had proved capable as a utility infielder and outfielder, with […]

DJ LeMahieu Finally Goes Yard

Colorado Rockies second baseman DJ LeMahieu set the bar high for himself when he popped five home runs before the end of April, but he's struggled to find that power stroke again since then. He hit a few in June, but his two-run shot on Friday night was his first since June 28. LeMahieu had […]

Ryan McMahon Drills Homer In Win

Colorado Rockies utility man Ryan McMahon was tasked with filling some big shoes on Friday night as he stepped in at third base after Nolan Arenado left the game with an injured shoulder. McMahon did right by Arenado though. Trailing 4-3 in the 7th inning, McMahon took one deep to lead the Rockies to a […]

Ben Zobrist Resting on Saturday

Chicago Cubs veteran infielder Ben Zobrist is getting the day off on Saturday. Zobrist recently returned from a nagging hip injury, so it seems that the team is just trying to prevent re-injury. Javier Baez is getting the start at second base while David Bote is manning third. Bote is an interesting daily fantasy value […]

Brock Holt Delivers His Best Performance of the Season

Boston Red Sox utility man Brock Holt was fantastic at the plate on Friday night against the Baltimore Orioles. Holt was 3-for-4 with a solo shot, three RBI, three runs scored, and two walks. While a performance like this was nice to see, the Red Sox lineup is simply too deep for Holt to be […]

Hitter Streamers (Week 20) - Head-to-Head Leagues

Welcome back to my hitting streamers column for Week 20, taking a look at hitters to add or stream off the waiver wire for this week's scheduled games. To keep things simple, I pick from players who are 50% owned or less and who play at least seven games in the week.  If someone jumps […]

Welcome back for another week of advice for points league waiver wire moves. This segment will include waiver wire adds, drops, and streaming pitchers for the upcoming week.

Buy or Sell - Undervalued and Overvalued Players for Week 20

If your league doesn't have a trade deadline before September (or at all), you still have plenty of time to wheel and deal for the playoff stretch. Most of us, however, are up against Father Time and his ceaseless battle to rob us of our most precious commodity. If you're in the market to make […]

Ozzie Albies Scores Two Runs As Braves Romp

Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies didn't have a hit on Friday night, but he still scored twice, courtesy of walking three times. Albies is already showing that he can get it done with both his bat and his legs - he stole a base, No. 12. Both times he crossed the plate were thanks […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (8/10/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

We've got a big 14-game slate on deck for this evening and it looks pretty interesting as there is just one five-digit priced pitcher and a handful of others from that "good/great but not elite" tier. The Nationals and Cubs are the matinee and the other 28 teams will be playing under the lights in […]

Ketel Marte (2B/SS, ARI) - Week 20 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 22% of leagues ANALYSIS: Arizona Diamondbacks utility player Ketel Marte is in an awkward spot for playing time, something that could hurt his fantasy value. Arizona’s acquisition of Eduardo Escobar could end up cutting into Marte’s playing time when Jake Lamb heals up from his recent injury. If he keeps […]

Ben Zobrist (2B/OF, CHC) - Week 20 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 39% of leagues ANALYSIS: Chicago Cubs second baseman/outfielder Ben Zobrist has had a really good year as an experienced veteran. He has gotten more playing time than usual, as he has filled in well for Kris Bryant while he recovered from his injury. Since Bryant has returned, […]

Astros Taking It Slow With Jose Altuve

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve (knee) is taking his rehab process "slow and steady," according to manager A.J. Hinch. The team plans to "test" Altuve's knee on the field this weekend. President of baseball operations and general manager Jeff Luhnow said the team doesn't think Altuve will be out for an extended period. It's […]

Adalberto Mejia Placed On DL

The Minnesota Twins placed starting pitcher Adalberto Mejia (wrist) on the 10-day disabled list on Friday with a left wrist strain and recalled reliever Tyler Duffey and infielder Tyler Austin from Triple-A Rochester in corresponding moves. Mejia has been great for the Twins in five outings (four starts) with a 2.01 ERA, but his 5.24 […]

Ben Zobrist Returns To Cubs Lineup On Friday

Chicago Cubs second baseman/outfielder Ben Zobrist will return to Friday’s lineup and bat third. Zobrist sat out on Wednesday with a tight hip that he suffered on Tuesday, but he is good to go on Friday. Zobrist will square off versus Nationals starter Jeremy Hellickson on Friday.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (8/10/18): MLB DFS Lineups

We have a 14-game slate on Friday (WSH/CHC matchup starts at 2:20pm EST and is not included in the main slate on DraftKings). There are seven games with an over/under of at least nine total runs.

Brian Dozier Continues To Mash In Dodgers Uniform

Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman Brian Dozier went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Thursday's 8-5 win over the Rockies. Dozier took Wade Davis deep in the ninth inning to add some insurance runs to the Dodgers' lead. The 31-year-old has been on fire since joining his new team, posting a .308/.438/.769 slash line […]

Max Muncy Hits Pinch-Hit Homer Thursday

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Max Muncy joined in the home run parade on Thursday against the Rockies, hitting a pinch-hit solo shot in the seventh inning off of Scott Oberg. The success was nice to see, as Muncy has struggled mightily in the second half of the season, hitting just .197 with nine RBI in […]

Week 20 Waiver Wire: H2H Category Streamers

I like to consider myself a pioneer of the streaming approach. I won a league about seven years ago by completely ignoring saves and just stacking up the starts each week. While streaming is undoubtedly more directly associated with pitching, there's plenty of value in streaming for offense as well. Maybe you have a stacked […]

Joey Wendle, Michael Perez Sitting on Thursday

Tampa Bay Rays infielder/outfielder Joey Wendle and catcher Michael Perez are both out of the starting lineup on Thursday. Both players will receive a rest day against the Baltimore Orioles. Brandon Lowe will play second base and bat eighth, while Jesus Sucre bats ninth and does the catching against righty David Hess. Neither player has […]

Gleyber Torres Sitting Out on Thursday

New York Yankees infielder Gleyber Torres (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Texas Rangers. Neil Walker will bat seventh and play second base against righty Ariel Jurado on Thursday. Walker has not been hitting well lately, but did collect three hits and two RBI during the Yankees last series. […]

Ian Kinsler To Rehab At Single-A

Boston Red Sox second baseman Ian Kinsler (hamstring) will work with Single-A Lowell over the weekend and then join the team in Philadelphia on Tuesday. He is eligible to return from the disabled list on Wednesday, but the Red Sox may wait a few extra days to make sure he's fully recovered. Kinsler only played […]

Rookie Report: Recent MLB Prospect Call-Ups (Week 19)

This week was a particularly slow week in the world of prospects; just eight rookies have debuted since the publishing of last week's column. With that being said, there are still a handful of newcomers worth highlighting and a bunch of returners still cooking with gas. As we come up on the end of the […]
