Today's piece covers a set of players who either should not be available on waivers or will return back there soon.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (8/3/19): MLB DFS Lineups

Saturday sees an unusually unbalanced slate with just three games in the afternoon window. Instead, we see a whopping 13 slates in the evening slate, thanks to the Red Sox and Yankees playing out a double-header. Clearly, the evening slate will be the one we are focusing on.

H2H Category Streamers - Week 19 Waiver Wire

There are plenty of strategies that fantasy managers explore in hopes of getting an advantage over their opponent. Heavy lineup, heavy starting pitchers, no catcher, all (or mostly) reliever staff, no reliever staff, etc. Even if you play a balanced lineup, injuries can cause holes. A few weeks without a key player won’t kill a […]

Jung Ho Kang Designated for Assignment

Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop Jung Ho Kang has been designated for assignment by the organization on Friday. Kang struggled at the plate this season, so it's not surprising to see the Pirates decide to move on. Kang hit .169/.222/.395 over 65 games, so that's not a batting line you'd love to see. Colin Moran and Jose […]

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Hits Two More Home Runs

In the midst of a "disappointing" rookie-year, Toronto third baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit two home runs Thursday night in an 11-2 victory over the Orioles. Guerrero Jr. started off the scoring with a two-run blast in the third inning before hitting a 450-foot towering encore in the 8th. Still only 20-years old, Guerrero Jr. […]

Matt Chapman Blasts Two-Run Shot In Win Over Brewers

Oakland Athletics third baseman Matt Chapman was 1-for-4 with a two-run home run during Thursday's 5-3 win over the Milwaukee Brewers. Chapman's blast put the A's in front in the bottom of the eighth inning. The 26-year-old desperately needed to find some offense, as he is slashing just .074/.133/.296 over his past 27 at-bats. Chapman […]

Robinson Cano Drives In Two As Mets Roll

With more excellent starting pitching, the New York Mets managed just four runs Thursday afternoon against the Chicago White Sox, but it was enough.

Top 30 Impact Prospects for Redraft Leagues (Week 18)

This was, without a doubt, the most challenging Top 30 list of the year to write.

And much more will likely have changed by the end […]

Rangers To Cut Asdrubal Cabrera

The Texas Rangers plan to designate infielder Asdrubal Cabrera and catcher Tim Federowicz for assignment on Friday.

Robel Garcia Optioned

The Chicago Cubs have sent infielder Robel Garcia to Triple-A Iowa. Garcia had a nice start to his big league career, but has struggled at the plate lately. Garcia will likely get another shot with the Cubs this season, but won’t hold much fantasy value. Newly acquired outfielder Nicholas Castellanos will take the roster spot […]

Todd Frazier's Big Hit Gives Mets Sixth Straight Win

The New York Mets are the hottest team in baseball after defeating the Chicago White Sox 4-2 Wednesday night for their sixth consecutive win.

The Los Angeles Dodgers acquired infielder Jedd Gyorko (back) from the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday, according to MLB Network insider Ken Rosenthal. There's no word on the return for Gyorko.

Yoan Moncada Not In Lineup Wednesday
