DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (7/8/22): Today's Top MLB DFS Lineups
We were really close to getting a full 15-game slate, but the Reds and Rays are playing a 6:40 PM game, meaning we have "only" 14 games on the main slate instead. That also means my favorite lefty fireballer Shane McClanahan (and also the surging Luis Castillo) are not on the main slate, but we […]

Miguel Vargas Makes Futures Game
Los Angeles Dodgers infield prospect Miguel Vargas has made the Futures Game roster. It's no surprise with Vargas performing at an elite level for Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Elly De La Cruz Named To Futures Game
Cincinnati Reds shortstop/third base prospect Elly De La Cruz had himself a day in a doubleheader for High-A Dayton on Thursday. One of the top infield prospects in the game, De La Cruz played shortstop in Game 1 and went 2-for-3 with a pair of home runs. In Game 2, the 20-year-old suited up at […]

We are back for another week of our fantasy baseball prospects rankings series, reviewing MLB prospects to make fantasy impacts in 2022.

San Diego Padres infielder Ha-Seong Kim (thumb) is dealing with a minor thumb issue that has caused him to be out of the lineup for the team's previous two games.

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada (foot) is back in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against right-hander Beau Brieske and the Detroit Tigers.

Eguy Rosario Displaying Power In Triple-A
San Diego Padres infield prospect Eguy Rosario signed out of the Dominican Republic in 2015 and has slowly but surely climbed through the minor league ranks ever since.

Colton Welker Designated For Assignment
The Colorado Rockies designated infielder Colton Welker for assignment on Wednesday. The move was made to clear a roster spot for Wednesday's starting pitcher, Jose Urena.

Yoan Moncada Exits With Foot Injury Wednesday
Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada (foot) was removed from Wednesday's contest against the Minnesota Twins.

Rafael Devers Sitting Wednesday With Injuries
Boston Red Sox skipper Alex Cora said that third baseman Rafael Devers (back, hamstring) will sit out again on Wednesday against the Tampa Bay Rays. "Little bit sore, right hammy, tight back," Cora said. Devers will miss his second straight game, but the injuries sound pretty minor, and fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for […]
Jon Berti Back In The Leadoff Spot Wednesday
Miami Marlins infielder Jon Berti (lower body) is back in the starting lineup in left field and is hitting leadoff on Wednesday against Los Angeles Angels right-hander Shohei Ohtani.
