DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (Main Slate - 6/16/23): MLB DFS Lineups

Hey, RotoBallers! I'm back with another Friday edition of MLB DFS picks. Once again we have a jam-packed main slate on both sites with 14 games on tap tonight.

Max Muncy's Hamstring Injury Only A Low-Grade

After news came out that Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy (hamstring) suffered a Grade 2 strain on his left hamstring, managers Dave Roberts told reporters on Thursday that it's actually a low-grade strain. That's great news for the Dodgers and fantasy managers, as the 32-year-old won't miss as much time as originally thought. […]

Gio Urshela Exits Early With Hip Injury

Los Angeles Angels corner infielder Gio Urshela (hip) was removed from Thursday's game against the Texas Rangers in the first inning after falling down while running out a double-play ball. Urshela said after the game that he couldn't walk and both his hips and knee hurt. Urshela will likely miss some time, especially since he […]

Anthony Rendon Going For Imaging After Being Hit On Wrist

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon (wrist) was hit by a pitch on his wrist in the first inning of Thursday's game against the Texas Rangers and is getting X-rays to determine the severity of the injury. Rendon had to stay in the game because the Angels are shorthanded in the infield and didn't […]

Christian Encarnacion-Strand Making Start In Right Field

Cincinnati Reds prospect Christian Encarnacion-Strand is making his first start in right field on Thursday for Triple-A Louisville as he adds another position along with first and third base. The added versatility will make the team's No. 7 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, even more valuable to the major-league squad whenever they decide to call him […]

Ezequiel Duran Taking Day Off Thursday

Texas Rangers infielder/outfielder Ezequiel Duran is not in the team's starting lineup on Thursday against the division-rival Los Angeles Angels. Duran has just one hit in his last four games, so it's a good time for a breather for the 24-year-old Dominican infielder. In nine games in the month of June, he has gone 8-for-30 […]

Yoan Moncada Heading To Injured List

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada (back) is heading to the injured list on Thursday, and the team is recalling infielder Zach Remillard from Triple-A Charlotte in a corresponding move, according to a source. Moncada sat out the win over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday with a back injury that has bothered him […]

Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm will return to the starting lineup Thursday afternoon against Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Ryne Nelson. Bohm sat out Wednesday night's extra-innings win but will return to third base and hit sixth on Thursday afternoon. The 26-year-old enjoyed a strong month of April but has tailed off since. Bohm has hit […]

We're roughly a month away from the All-Star break, and at this point, sample sizes are large enough to get a gauge on […]

Ryan McMahon Delivers Two Hits Wednesday

Colorado Rockies infielder Ryan McMahon went 2-for-3 at the plate and added an RBI despite his team losing to Boston by a score of 6-3 on Wednesday. He temporarily put the Rockies in the lead during the sixth inning with an RBI double off starter Garrett Whitlock. However, Colorado's bullpen fell apart and they gave […]

Yoan Moncada Could Need Injured-List Stint

Chicago White Sox manager Pedro Grifol said that he's unsure if third baseman Yoan Moncada (back) will require a trip to the injured list. Moncada is out of the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Los Angeles Dodgers due to a recurring back issue, so the White Sox may give him some extended time off […]

Max Muncy Dealing With Grade 2 Hamstring Strain

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Max Muncy (hamstring) has been diagnosed with a Grade 2 left-hamstring strain. Manager Dave Roberts said that the team is hoping Muncy can return to the starting lineup on Saturday against the division-rival San Francisco Giants. The original hope was that the 32-year-old left-handed slugger could return on Thursday, but that […]

Gio Urshela Remains Out On Wednesday

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Gio Urshela (back) remains out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Texas Rangers. The right-handed slugger has played in one game since being scratched last Friday due to back tightness. It's unclear if Urshela is going to need an injured list stint. It sounds like the Angels […]

Max Muncy To Miss Second Straight Game

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Max Muncy (hamstring) remains out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Chicago White Sox. Muncy will miss his second straight contest after suffering a left hamstring strain during Sunday's game. It doesn't sound like Muncy is going to be placed on the injured list. Fantasy managers should consider […]

Ryan Kreidler Undergoes Core Muscle Surgery

Detroit Tigers infielder Ryan Kreidler has undergone core muscle surgery and is without a timetable for his return. Kreidler broke camp with the Tigers but went just 2-for-18 (.111) without an extra-base hit before being sent to Triple-A Toledo. While he's been injured for the Mud Hens, Kreidler at least produced a .300 average with […]

Rafael Devers Getting A Breather Wednesday

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers is not in the starting lineup Wednesday against left-hander Austin Gomber and the Colorado Rockies. It's a rare day off for the superstar infielder as Devers has appeared in 65 of the club's 68 games to this point in the season, although he's enduring a down season by […]

Manny Machado Picking Up The Pace

San Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado has gone 12-for-30 over the last seven games after a stretch that saw him go 1-for-11 in his first three games off the injured list. He has raised his batting average 27 points to .249 (49-for-197) and his OPS 54 points to .682 over the last seven games. […]
