Yangervis Solarte Let Go Tuesday

The San Francisco Giants designated infielder/outfielder Yangervis Solarte for assignment on Tuesday. Second baseman Donovan Solano was among the players that were called up from Triple-A Sacramento in a corresponding move. The switch-hitting Solarte was playing sporadically with the Giants and hit just .205/.247/.315 with a homer and seven RBI in 73 at-bats. He could […]

Zack Cozart is Activated on Tuesday

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Zack Cozart (neck) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. Cozart missed almost two weeks of action due to neck discomfort. He was struggling at the plate before the injury, so Cozart can be ignored in most fantasy leagues for the moment.

Anthony Rendon Activated, Carter Kieboom Demoted

The Washington Nationals made several moves Tuesday, activating third baseman Anthony Rendon (elbow) from the 10-day injured list and demoting shortstop prospect Carter Kieboom to make room. The Nationals also placed relief pitcher Tony Sipp on the injured list and called up pitcher Erick Fedde to replace him. Rendon and his .356/.442/.740 slash line should re-enter fantasy […]

Tommy La Stella Has Seven RBI Over Last Seven Games

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Tommy La Stella will enter Tuesday's action with seven runs batted in over his last seven games. La Stella has been a pleasant surprise to begin the season and already has a career-high seven home runs this season. His current slugging percentage of .500 is bound to regress and he […]

Kyle Seager Close To Rehab Assignment

Seattle Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager (hand) is progressing in his rehab program, and manager Scott Servais said he'll start a rehab assignment "shortly." Seager can't come off the 60-day injured list until May 25, but fantasy owners in need of a third baseman might want to consider adding him and stashing him now. Once […]

Evan Longoria Day-To-Day

San Francisco Giants third baseman Evan Longoria (shoulder), who was scratched from the lineup on Saturday with left shoulder inflammation, is considered day-to-day despite remaining out of the lineup on Monday. The 33-year-old's injury isn't very serious, so we'd expect him back in the lineup on Tuesday. He's hitting just .223/.263/.402 with four home runs […]

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Mired In Massive Slump

Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. was 0-for-3 with two strikeouts during an 8-0 loss to the Minnesota Twins on Monday night. The top prospect in baseball has struggled early on in his MLB career, as he is carrying a lowly .152 average with a single RBI through 33 at-bats. While the lack […]

Giovanny Urshela Continues To Prove Worth

Even after New York Yankees third baseman Miguel Andujar's return from the injured list, Giovanny Urshela doesn't seem to be ready to leave the Yankees. Aside from his significantly superior glove work on defense, the Colombian native has been hitting quite effectively, making him quite the difficult player to dispose of. The 27-year-old drove in New […]

Evan Longoria is Sitting Out on Monday

San Francisco Giants third baseman Evan Longoria (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. Longoria was a late scratch before Saturday's contest and hasn't played since then. It's unclear what's going on with him, but hopefully he's back in the lineup soon. Pablo Sandoval will draw the start […]

Kelvin Gutierrez Continues To Hit

Kansas City Royals third baseman Kelvin Gutierrez continues to see regular playing time because he continues to find a way to get it done at the plate. Gutierrez went 1-for-4 on Sunday and drove in another run, giving him 10 RBI in his first nine MLB games. Gutierrez particularly enjoyed the series in Detroit as […]

1B and 3B Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 6

As the calendar flips into May, you might find yourself struggling to remain patient with underperforming players on your fantasy teams. Some of those players may not deserve the benefit of the doubt, but many do. There's always room for improvement, and if you've determined that a player falls into the former category RE: doubts […]

Who Can Breakout in 2019? The Yandy Man Can...

When the Tampa Bay Rays traded Jake Bauers and cash money to acquire Yandy Diaz, it was a move that seemed to prompt both excitement and head scratching. Bauers was already an everyday outfielder who projected as an above average outfielder very soon. Diaz was a toolsy but frustrating player chiseled of the same stuff […]

xBA-BA Leaders - Statcast Hitter Studs and Duds (Week 6)

This week, we're going back to the basics to look at batting average. Of course, with Statcast we are able to dig deeper than that and look at how hitters are either underperforming or overperforming by comparing their averages to expected stats, or xBA in this case. Expected stats for an all-encompassing stat like average […]

Buy or Sell - Undervalued and Overvalued Players for Week 6

We are just over a month into the fantasy baseball season and it is a prime time to buy in on players whose production could be legit/should be better or hop off a heater before the floors caves in. As we all should know, baseball is a game of ebbs and flows. When there is […]

Anthony Rendon Takes BP, Might Return Tuesday

Washington Nationals third baseman Anthony Rendon (elbow) was able to take batting practice on the field Saturday, and he reported feeling good. Rendon is eligible to come back from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday, and manager Dave Martinez suggested there is a decent chance Rendon will be ready to be activated then. It's a […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (5/6/19): MLB DFS Lineups

For Monday's slate of Major League Baseball games, I'll focus on the nine evening contests (first pitch of 7:05 PM EST and later). Be sure to double-check the weather and the lineups before finalizing your roster. The weather forecast looks very favorable across most MLB venues, as the winds should be rather neutral at 8 […]

Jose Ramirez Gets the Only Two Hits for Cleveland on Sunday

Cleveland Indians infielder Jose Ramirez got the only two hits of the game against the Seattle Mariners on Sunday, going 2-for-3 with a double and a single. He also drew a walk, moving his batting line up to .200/.292/.300. It's been a struggle for Ramirez so far this season, but he's shown some recent signs […]

Alex Bregman's Grand Slam Keys Victory

Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman went 2-for-5, with a grand slam, as the Astros defeated the Angels 10-4 on Sunday. Bregman's ninth home run of the season broke the game open in the fifth inning as the 25-year-old really is beginning to heat up. Bregman now has five home runs over his last five […]

Jung Ho Kang Sitting Out on Sunday

Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Jung Ho Kang (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Oakland Athletics. It appears this is just a normal rest day for Kang. Colin Moran will bat sixth and play third base versus righty Frankie Montas. Moran can be avoided as a fantasy option for Sunday.

Ryon Healy Remains Out on Sunday

Seattle Mariners third baseman Ryon Healy (groin) remains out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Cleveland Indians. Healy left Friday's game due to a groin strain and hasn't played since then. However, the Mariners are considering Healy day-to-day, so hopefully he won't land on the injured list. Dylan Moore will cover third […]

Stats are through Friday, May 3. As we say every week: Remember that these recommendations are for standard […]

The Waiver Wire Watch List: Week 6

As important as it is to be active on the waiver wire, snagging that next hot bat or pitcher on a roll before anyone else can, let's be honest--there are only so many roster spots. That's why your watch list is just as important as your waiver wire activity, and perhaps even more so. Throughout […]

H2H Category Streamers - Week 6 Waiver Wire

There are plenty of strategies that fantasy managers explore in hopes to get 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 […]
