DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (5/11/23): Today's Top MLB DFS Lineups

We have a perfect split in our small six-game MLB day. There are three afternoon games and three games in the normal primetime window.

Breakout Hitters Watch for Fantasy Baseball - Ezequiel Duran, Triston Casas, and More

We are back for the fifth iteration of breakout hitters! There will be different player profiles included in all of this. I try to keep the majority of the names as hitters that are available on waivers. Or at the very least, players you could trade for before the breakout really hits. However, sometimes I […]

Rafael Devers Getting Breather Against Lefty

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers is taking a seat on Wednesday against left-hander Dylan Lee and the Atlanta Braves. It's a normal day of rest for Devers, who is currently hitting .245 (35-for-143) with nine doubles, a league-leading 11 home runs, 34 RBI and 23 runs scored in 157 plate appearances and 36 […]

Max Muncy Sitting Against Lefty Wednesday

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Max Muncy is not in the team's starting lineup on Wednesday against the Milwaukee Brewers and left-hander Wade Miley. It's a good time for Muncy to take a little breather, as he went 1-for-18 with seven strikeouts in his last five games. The 32-year-old left-handed slugger has also been owned by […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (Late Slate - 5/10/23): Today's Top MLB DFS Lineups

The MLB flipped the script on the getaway day this week. The main slate is the 11-game matinee, which is also covered here at RotoBaller. My contribution will focus on the four games in primetime tonight. Watch for some storms in the Kansas City area again. Other than that, this is a pretty good slate […]

Twins Option Jose Miranda To Triple-A

The Minnesota Twins optioned third baseman Jose Miranda to Triple-A St. Paul on Wednesday and reinstated shortstop Kyle Farmer (mouth) from the injured list in a corresponding move. Miranda really turned heads in his rookie season in 2022, but the 24-year-old could use a little breather at the plate after beginning his sophomore campaign with […]

Ezequiel Duran To Continue Seeing Playing Time

Texas Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said on Tuesday that infielder Ezequiel Duran will continue to get "a lot" of playing time, even after shortstop Corey Seager (hamstring) returns from the injured list. Duran has been starting every day and was bumped up to the second spot in the batting order on Tuesday against the Seattle […]

Josh Rojas Not The In Lineup Again Tuesday

Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Josh Rojas is not in the lineup for a second consecutive day as the club faces a lefty for the second game in a row in Jesus Luzardo and the Miami Marlins. The 28-year-old hasn't seen many southpaws this year and is hitting just .222 off them over 10 games, so […]

Nolan Arenado Returning On Tuesday

St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado (neck) is back in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Chicago Cubs. He sat out of Monday's series opener while dealing with neck stiffness. However, he's back on Tuesday, so it appears this is a minor issue for the All-Star slugger. He'll cover third base and […]

DJ LeMahieu Sitting Against A's

New York Yankees infielder DJ LeMahieu is not in the team's starting lineup on Tuesday against the Oakland Athletics. LeMahieu is taking a normal day of rest in the second game of the series against Oakland. With the veteran starting on the bench, Oswaldo Cabrera will start at third base and hit seventh in the […]

Ramon Urias Lands On 10-Day Injured List

The Baltimore Orioles placed infielder Ramon Urias (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday with a left-hamstring strain. In corresponding moves, the Orioles recalled left-hander Drew Rom, infielder/outfielder Ryan O'Hearn and infielder Terrin Vavra from Triple-A Norfolk, optioned left-hander Keegan Akin to Norfolk and designated catcher Luis Torrens for assignment. Urias strained his hamstring […]

Strong Chance Giants Call Up Casey Schmitt

There is a strong chance that the San Francisco Giants call up infield prospect Casey Schmitt from Triple-A Sacramento for Tuesday's game against the Washington Nationals, according to sources. Schmitt has gotten off to a nice start in the minors and recently added second base to his work at third and shortstop. The 24-year-old was […]

Do These Prospects Matter for Fantasy Baseball? Denzel Clarke, Austin Wells, Bobby Miller, Christian Encarnacion-Strand and more

The 2023 minor league baseball season has had multiple highly-regarded prospects open the season on the shelf. With a month of the season now passed, players have begun to filter back in to minor league lineups. The question is how have those players looked upon their return to the field?

Nolan Arenado Dealing With Neck Stiffness

St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado (neck) was scratched from Monday's battle against the Chicago Cubs due to neck stiffness. However, the Cardinals are calling his removal from the starting lineup as "precautionary," so fantasy managers should consider the star third baseman day-to-day for now. The struggling Red Birds can ill-afford one of their […]

Ramon Urias Exits With Left Hamstring Strain Monday

Baltimore Orioles infielder Ramon Urias (hamstring) exited Monday's 3-0 loss to the Rays in the ninth inning with a left hamstring strain. Urias walked off the field after hitting a single. Manager Brandon Hyde said the 28-year-old would be re-evaluated Tuesday to access the severity of the strain. Hopefully, Urias will be able to avoid […]

Jordan Westburg - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Jordan Westburg, 2B/3B/SS, Baltimore Orioles ANALYSIS: I'm honestly not sure what Baltimore is waiting for when it comes to Jordan Westburg. While Adam Frazier hasn't exactly been terrible offensively, it's not like he's lighting the world on fire with his .240/.330/.375 slash line either. Meanwhile, Westburg is slashing .333/.395/.593 in Triple-A with eight home runs and […]

Miguel Vargas To Miss Monday's Game

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Miguel Vargas (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. It's a rare, but much-needed rest day for the 23-year-old infielder. Vargas has been sluggish at the plate at start the season, hitting .221/.344/.394 with two home runs and 15 RBI in 29 games. Mookie […]

Christopher Morel Recalled On Monday

Chicago Cubs infielder Christopher Morel has been recalled from Triple-A Iowa on Monday. The 23-year-old is set to join the roster ahead of Monday's series opener against the St. Louis Cardinals. Morel has been on fire in the minors, hitting .330/.425/.730 with 11 home runs and four stolen bases. The expectation is that Morel is […]

Carter Kieboom Activated And Optioned To Minors

The Washington Nationals activated infielder Carter Kieboom (shoulder) from the 10-day injured list on Sunday and optioned him to Triple-A Rochester. Kieboom went 3-for-12 during four games on a minor-league rehab assignment for Double-A Harrisburg over the weekend, and now he will return to Rochester. The Nationals will want to see the 25-year-old have some […]

Yoan Moncada Homers In Rehab Game Sunday

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada (back) went 3-for-3 with a home run, two RBI, three runs scored and a walk in a minor-league rehab game with Triple-A Charlotte on Sunday, but the best guess is that he won't return from the 10-day injured list until this weekend. Manager Pedro Grifol wouldn't rule out […]
