Yolmer Sanchez To Play Some Outfield

Chicago White Sox utility man Yolmer Sanchez will likely get some starts in the outfield in the near future, according to The Athletic's James Fegan. Friday's injury to Nicky Delmonico, who is expected to miss four-to-six weeks with a broken hand, will accelerate the need to get Sanchez some outfield reps. Sanchez, still only 25, […]

Buy or Sell - Undervalued and Overvalued Players for Week 8

Since last week's column, Luke Weaver has allowed one run over his past 12 innings and Luis Castillo notched another victory by striking out eight in six frames against the Dodgers. Also, Alen Hanson hit the DL and Tim Anderson hasn't notched a single HR, SB, or RBI since May 9. Fantasy baseball giveth and […]

Welcome back to my hitting streamers column for Week 8, 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 […]

Daniel Robertson Continues Recent Run Friday Versus Los Angeles

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Daniel Robertson reached base three times Friday versus Los Angeles. In his last six games, he only has five hits but walked seven times. During those six games, he has scored five times and driven in three. For the season, he is batting .284 with a .438 OBP. He is not […]

Jonathan Villar Continues To Dominate With Three Hits On Friday

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Jonathan Villar went 3-for-4 with two runs and an RBI in the 8-3 win over the Minnesota Twins. Villar in his last four games is hitting at an absurd 8-for-16 rate with two doubles, one home run, three RBI and five runs during those four games. In his last seven, he's been […]

Gleyber Torres Picks Up Hit In Sloppy Effort

Perhaps rusty from a lack of games all week due to inclement weather and off days, New York Yankees rookie Gleyber Torres was not at his best on defense in Friday’s defeat to the Royals. The 21-year-old dropped a fly ball with runners on the corners in the first inning, allowing the first run to […]

Jonathan Schoop Homers in Orioles Win Friday

Orioles second baseman Jonathan Schoop hit his fourth home run of the season on Friday for his only hit of the night in the win against the Red Sox. Schoop finished 1-for-3 with one RBI, two runs and two walks — his first multi-walk game in almost exactly one year when he had two walks […]

Anthony Rizzo Picks Up A Pair Of RBI Friday

Chicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo went 2-for-6 Friday evening versus the Reds. Rizzo had a pair of singles and scored two runs while driving in a pair. Rizzo has been off to a slow start and has hit just .202 with six home runs and 25 RBI. Rizzo is a streaky player and should […]

Asdrubal Cabrera Continues To Cool Off

New York Mets infielder Asdrubal Cabrera has had a fantastic 2018 this far, but he has certainly slowed down a bit after a blistering start. Cabrera finished 0-for-4 in a 3-1 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Friday, his second consecutive hitless effort. It’s worth noting that prior to these two hitless outings Cabrera had […]

Jedd Gyorko Expected to Start At Shortstop

St. Louis Cardinals infielder Jedd Gyorko is going to see the bulk of the starts at shortstop while Paul DeJong (hand) is out, according to manager Mike Matheny. President of baseball operations John Mozeliak mentioned Yairo Munoz when asked who would play shortstop the most. However, Matheny is the one that fills out the lineup […]

Manuel Margot, Jose Pirela, Christian Villanueva Out Friday

San Diego Padres outfielder Manuel Margot, second baseman Jose Pirela, and third baseman Christian Villanueva are absent from the Padres lineup Friday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Padres are stacking the batting order with lefties against right-handed starter Ivan Nova. Outfielder Travis Jankowski will slide to center field, second baseman Carlos Asuaje will man the […]

Daniel Alejandro Castro Drives In A Pair

Colorado Rockies utility infielder Daniel Castro had a solid game on Thursday as he drove in a pair of runs to help push the Rockies to victory. Castro has been the primary fill-in for the injured DJ LeMahieu, so he should continue to see regular playing time for at least a couple more weeks. Unfortunately, […]

Yolmer Sanchez Could See Time In The Outfield

Chicago White Sox manager Rick Renteria said on Thursday that third baseman Yolmer Sanchez could see time in the outfield. Sanchez has only played two career innings in the outfield, but fantasy owners wouldn’t mind him acquiring eligibility at outfield, as he already has second base and third base eligibility. Sanchez is hitting .286 with […]

Matt Duffy (2B/3B, TB) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 7% of leagues ANALYSIS: Injuries limited Tampa Bay Rays infielder Matt Duffy over the last few seasons and, unfortunately, a hamstring injury may limit Duffy once again. However, if he is able to stay on the field, a six-game hitting streak from May 6-May 15 shows […]

Week 8 Waiver Wire: H2H Category Streamers

I like to consider myself a pioneer of the streaming approach. I won a league about seven years ago 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 roster […]

Yoan Moncada Records Three Hits In Thursday’s Victory

Chicago White Sox second baseman Yoan Moncada went 3-for-4 Thursday in his third game back since returning from a hamstring injury. Moncada had a pair of singles and a double. He also scored a run. Moncada has been putting it all together this year and should be owned and started in all formats.

Joe Panik Takes Part In Baseball Activities Thursday

San Francisco Giants second baseman Joe Panik (thumb) took swings and fielded ground balls for the first time since landing on the disabled list on April 28. Panik is still a few weeks away from returning to the big leagues and this is a step in the right direction. Panik is hitting .267 with three […]

DJ LeMahieu Has Small Broken Bone in Thumb

Colorado Rockies second baseman DJ LeMahieu was originally diagnosed with a sprained thumb, but it was revealed that there was also a small broken bone in the same area. Thankfully, LeMahieu will avoid surgery and should be back swinging a bat within a week. This is good news for fantasy owners, as LeMahieu is a valuable […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (5/18/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

I feel like we deserve this big, beautiful slate tonight with all the rain-outs and mediocre options we've dealt with throughout the week. All 15 games tonight are in the Main slate, so there is much to discuss. Unfortunately, we are not without weather concerns, but at least there will be other options to fall […]

Buck Showalter Provides Injury Updates on Trio of Orioles

Baltimore Orioles manager Buck Showalter provided injury updates on infielders Engelb Vielma (knee) and Luis Sardinas (back) and outfielder Colby Rasmus (hip) prior to Thursday's game, according to Rich Dubroff of PressBoxonline.com. Dubroff reports that Vielma will have surgery on his right knee, but it is not believed to be a season-ending procedure. Meanwhile, Rasmus […]

Eduardo Nunez Receives Day Off On Thursday

Boston Red Sox infielder Eduardo Nunez is not in Thursday's starting lineup against the Baltimore Orioles. Brock Holt will be starting his second straight game at second base with Nunez taking a breather. Nunez has been a disappointment so far throughout the 2018 campaign, as his .233 average, 10 RBI and two steals through 38 […]

Yoan Moncada Batting Sixth Thursday Versus Rangers

Chicago White Sox second baseman Yoan Moncada will bat sixth Thursday. The White Sox face left-hander Cole Hamels, and manager Rick Renteria has been putting Moncada in the six hole versus lefties as opposed to the No. 1 spot versus righties. Moncada is 1-for-8 since returning from a hamstring injury on Tuesday. He remains a […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (5/17/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

We have a nine-game slate tonight and the pitching options are certainly something, and by that I mean we have no real aces on the mound, so it might be worth taking some shots. There are some of the better offenses on the slate, so you shouldn't have any trouble finding bats you like to hit […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (5/17/18): MLB DFS Lineups

Tonight's featured slate starts at 7pm eastern, with nine games to choose from. We've also got two later slates, but those games are covered within the featured slate.
