Chicago Cubs second baseman Javier Baez will rest on Friday. Baez has been on fire with a .452 batting average over the past two weeks and should be back in the lineup on Saturday. Ben Zobrist will replace Baez at second base and bat third. Zobrist will face a tough battle versus Twins starter Jose […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (6/29/18): MLB DFS Lineups

There’s a weird 5:05pm (EST) start on the board for Friday between the Twins and Cubs in Wrigley. Unfortunately, that matchup won’t be included in the slate, making Friday a 14-game (max) docket. We have five games to choose from with over/unders of at least nine total runs. The highest total on the board is […]

Brandon Drury Expected To Be Called Up By Yankees On Friday

After absolutely raking in Triple-A, it would seem that the New York Yankees cannot deny Brandon Drury any longer. The team is expected to call up the versatile Drury on Friday, just in time for the start of their series with the Boston Red Sox. While down in the minors, Drury has batted .314 with […]

Week 14 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 […]

Twins Could Be Sellers At Trade Deadline

According to a report on MLB.com, the Minnesota Twins could be sellers at the trade deadline if they don't start picking up ground on the AL Central-leading Cleveland Indians. The Twins currently sit eight games behind the Indians for the division lead. The team could be willing to listen to offers on second baseman Brian […]

Jonathan Villar Sitting on Thursday

Milwaukee Brewers second baseman/outfielder Jonathan Villar (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. Brad Miller will draw the start at second base and bat sixth against Reds' righty Anthony DeSclafani. It's looking like a normal rest day for Villar who has started three straight games. Miller has not […]

Carlos Gomez Back In Lineup For Rays On Thursday

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Carlos Gomez will return to the lineup on Thursday against the defending champion Houston Astros. Gomez will play right field and bat eighth in the order, though he has struggled mightily this season and won't be a viable streamer on Thursday. Utilityman Daniel Robertson will sit while Joey Wendle plays second […]

Eduardo Nunez Sitting On Thursday Versus Angels

Boston Red Sox second baseman is not in the lineup Thursday against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Brock Holt will bat sixth and take his place at second base, though he is not a quality streamer for the matchup. The Sox are going with a balanced lineup of four righties and five lefties against […]

Jose Peraza Batting Leadoff, Jesse Winker Back In Lineup

Cincinnati Reds shortstop Jose Peraza is leading off for the team on Thursday against the Milwaukee Brewers. He’s been shuffled around the lineup a lot as of late, but his .292 batting average the last seven days shows that he’s earned the move up. Outfielder Jesse Winker is also back in the lineup, batting sixth. […]

Adalberto Mondesi Continues To Shine

Kansas City Royals rookie Adalberto Mondesi is only hitting .214 on the season, but he's quickly becoming a fan favorite by coming through in big moments. Mondesi had to go against Josh Hader, one of baseball's best relievers, in a tie game with the bases loaded on Wednesday, and he drilled a single to the […]

Niko Goodrum's Struggles Continue

Detroit Tigers utility man Niko Goodrum has become an everyday player this season, primarily playing second base and outfield. He's got a little bit of value in deeper, AL-only leagues with seven homers and six steals on the year, especially considering that he has eligibility at five positions. But over the last seven games, Goodrum […]

Rookie Report: Recent MLB Prospect Call-Ups (Week 13)

Nick Senzel's season came to an unfortunate end this past week when it was announced that he would need season-ending surgery. Those of you stashing the infielder in redraft leagues can safely drop him to stash another prospect. I suggest Kyle Tucker; the Astros front office has given Tucker rave reviews and indicated that he […]

Power Risers/Fallers for Week 13: Buy or Sell?

Welcome to Week 13 of the 2018 MLB season and a new week of our investigation into the steepest power trenders in baseball, whether those trends are positive or negative. As the season steamrolls through June, the window of opportunity to snag a surging slugger or to deal a down-and-out disappointment grows shorter with every […]

Jason Kipnis is Heating Up

Cleveland Indians second baseman Jason Kipnis has had himself a nice June thus far. Over his past 30 games, Kipnis has accumulated double-digit runs and RBI with five home runs, two stolen bases and a slugging percentage around .500. This trend continued on Wednesday as Kipnis went 2-for-4 and knocked in a run while scoring […]

Kolten Wong Hopes to Play on Friday

St. Louis Cardinals second baseman Kolten Wong (hamstring) said he is hoping to play on Friday. Wong was forced to leave Wednesday's game after being hit by a pitch twice. He was replaced by Greg Garcia, but it sounds like Wong avoided any serious injury and with Thursday's scheduled off day, he should be able […]

Kolten Wong Forced to Leave Wednesday's Game

St. Louis Cardinals second baseman Kolten Wong was forced to leave Wednesday's game after being hit by a pitch for the second time. It was Wong's 12th time being hit by a pitch this season, tying him for the league lead. More information about the severity of the injury will surely come soon.

Starlin Castro Homers in Marlins Loss Wednesday

Miami Marlins second baseman Starlin Castro homered in the ninth inning for the only run of the game in the Marlins 2-1 loss to the Diamondbacks on Wednesday. Castro finished 2-for-3 at the plate and accounted for two of the Marlins three team hits in the loss. It was Castro's second home run in June, […]

Derek Dietrich Linked To Brewers In Trade Rumors

Miami Marlins utility player Derek Dietrich has recently been linked to numerous trade rumors, with one of the teams being the Milwaukee Brewers. Dietrich is having arguably his best offensive season of his career, batting .303 with 11 home runs, 30 RBI and an OPS of .845 in 271 at-bats. Dietrich still has two more […]

Anthony Rizzo Resting Wednesday

Chicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo will receive a day of rest on Wednesday versus the Dodgers. Outfielder Ian Happ will replace Rizzo and bat eighth against left-hander Alex Wood. Happ is hitting .240 versus left-handed pitching and only has two of his nine home runs against lefties. Rizzo should be back in the lineup […]

Jarrod Dyson is Out of Wednesday's Lineup

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Jarrod Dyson (rest) is out of the starting lineup on Wednesday. The D-backs are facing Marlins lefty Wei-Yin Chen, so that is likely why Dyson is out of the lineup. Chris Owings will move from the infield into center field for Wednesday's contest. Owings is batting seventh and is hitting .211/.282/.329 off […]

Brandon Phillips Signs Minor League Deal

Veteran second baseman Brandon Phillips has signed a minor league deal with the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday. Phillips turns 37 on Thursday but is coming off a solid season in 2017. Surprisingly, he was not signed during the offseason, but the Red Sox are giving him an opportunity because of Dustin Pedroia's knee injury. […]

Sean Rodriguez Is On The DL

Pittsburgh Pirates utility player Sean Rodriguez was placed on the disabled list Wednesday with a right quadriceps strain. The Pirates super sub is batting an abysmal .145 this year and is 1-for-25 in the month of June. He will be replaced by right-handed pitcher Tanner Anderson. Anderson is 1-1 with a 2.34 ERA in 34 […]

Dustin Pedroia to be Re-Examined by Doctor Over Weekend

Boston Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia (knee) will be checked out by a doctor over the weekend while the team is in New York. After having knee surgery in the offseason, Pedroia returned for just three games before heading back to the disabled list. More should be known about his recovery timetable after this […]

Ben Zobrist has Three Hits Out of Leadoff Spot Tuesday Night

Chicago Cubs second baseman/outfielder Ben Zobrist went 3-for-6 with an RBI and two runs scored. Zobrist singled in Ian Happ with two outs in the sixth inning and gave the Cubs the lead. Zobrist was at second base Tuesday, which may happen much more with Kris Bryant on the disabled list as Javier Baez slid […]

Hello my friends, and welcome back to another Wednesday edition. We've got 11 games on the Main slate tonight with a heavy dose of Eastern and Central time zone games and just two out west.
