Hunter Dozier Continues To Rake
Kansas City Royals third baseman Hunter Dozier looks like he's ready to be the star Dozier son. On Monday, Dozier homered for the third time in his last six games, and he's recorded at least one run scored in every game of his current six-game hitting streak. He's only striking out 17 percent of the […]

Jeff McNeil Picks Up Three Hits In Victory
Perhaps being overshadowed early on by teammate and fellow New York Mets infielder Peter Alonso, infielder Jeff McNeil continues to be a star of his club's lineup. The 27-year-old racked up three more hits Monday night, including an RBI single in the first that increased his team's early lead. McNeil is hitting .404 early on […]
J.D. Davis Set To Play Some Outfield
The New York Mets have been prepping third baseman J.D. Davis to play some left field. It's presumably because Todd Frazier (oblique) is coming close to returning from the injured list, and he's expected to share playing time at the hot corner with Davis and Jeff McNeil. Davis has hit .257 (9-for-35) with three homers […]
David Bote Drives In Three Runs
Chicago Cubs infielder David Bote went 1-for-5 with three RBI on Monday versus the Miami Marlins. Bote doesn’t play every day, but he has hit .258 on the young season. Without having everyday at-bats, Bote isn’t worth a look outside of deeper NL-only leagues.
Miguel Sano Headed For Extended Spring Training
Minnesota Twins third baseman Miguel Sano told reporters Monday that he's headed to Florida for his own form of spring training as his return nears. The 25-year-old has been sidelined since before the season with a right heel laceration. Having missed all of spring training, he'll go through the process before a likely stint in […]
Todd Frazier Won't Be Starter Upon Return
As expected, the New York Mets will not name corner infielder Todd Frazier the starting third baseman upon his return, manager Mickey Callaway told reporters on Monday. The 33-year-old hit .213 in 115 games last season, hitting 18 home runs and knocking in 59 runs. When he returns from his left oblique strain, he'll split third […]
Brock Holt Starting Rehab Assignment Monday
Boston Red Sox infielder Brock Holt (eye) said he's starting his rehab assignment with Triple-A Pawtucket on Monday and hopes to be activated later this week in the series against the Rays. The 30-year-old has only one hit in 16 at-bats so far with Boston and is more useful for his glove and ability to […]
Alex Bregman Slugging Only .438 To Start Season
Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman collected only one hit in seven at-bats over the weekend as he returned to the lineup following a hamstring injury. The injury proved to be minor, but Bregman is off to a bit of a slow start despite hitting .313 through his first 48 at-bats. The 25-year-old burst onto the […]
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Continues To Impress On Farm
Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (oblique) had three singles in five at-bats with an RBI on Sunday with Triple-A Buffalo to raise his season average to .500 since joining the team after a four-game rehab stint in the Florida State League. Manager Charlie Montoyo said there's no reason a "hot" Guerrero shouldn't […]
Nolan Arenado Drills First HR Of 2019
Colorado Rockies third baseman Nolan Arenado is just one of a host of Rockies players who have been struggling at the plate, but he finally found his rhythm on Sunday as he launched a 1-0 pitch by Derek Holland deep into the left field seats at AT&T Park. Arenado's three-run blast was more than enough […]
The Cut List (Week 3) - Time to Let Go?
We're now midway through April, and your trigger finger may be getting a bit itchy. The baseball season is only a couple weeks old, however, and with more than 90% of the season to go it is still really early. Most teams had played about eight games through last weekend, and now that number is […]
Buy or Sell - Undervalued and Overvalued Players for Week 3
Week three is upon us and madness has officially ensued. Daniel Vogelbach is a hot waiver add and the Yankees are starting a Triple-A roster. Left is right and down is west. The early season struggles to hop on the train before it leaves a particular station is always interesting to watch. Everyone wants the […]
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (4/15/19): MLB DFS Lineups
For Monday's slate of Major League Baseball games, I'll focus on the 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 good news is that precipitation will not be an issue at any of the MLB park on Monday night. […]
Mets Being Cautious With Todd Frazier
The New York Mets continue to play it safe with corner infielder Todd Frazier (oblique), who is working his way back from an oblique injury. The team said Frazier may "potentially" rejoin the team this week in Philadelphia, but he will not be back before Tuesday. He has been on the mend since mid-February due […]
Jeff McNeil (2B/3B/OF, NYM) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Leagues OWNED IN: 28% of leagues ANALYSIS: Jeff McNeil was brought up and shocked the fantasy community in 2018. It wasn’t miraculous, but it was steady, consistent production that led many teams to a fantasy championship. He finished the year with three homers, seven RBI, and a .329/.381/.471 triple slash. Also impressive was his […]
Nick Senzel Could Play In Games Next Week
Cincinnati Reds third baseman/outfielder Nick Senzel (ankle) has been hitting and running the bases and could get into an extended spring training game by the middle of next week. It was believed that Senzel was further off from game action, but it looks like he's been making good progress. The Reds will be cautious with […]
Justin Turner, Kike Hernandez Resting Sunday
Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner and second baseman Kike Hernandez are both out of the starting lineup on Sunday. Max Muncy is taking over at third base and is hitting fifth, while Chris Taylor gets the start at the keystone and is batting seventh against Brewers starter Jhoulys Chacin. Alex Verdugo is also […]
Manny Machado Out For First Time This Year
San Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado is out of the starting lineup on Sunday for the first time in 2019. Luis Urias will take over at third base and is hitting eighth against Diamondbacks starting pitcher Zack Greinke. Urias has upside with the bat, but he's yet to show it in the big leagues […]
Mallex Smith, Ryon Healy Sitting Sunday
Seattle Mariners outfielder Mallex Smith and third baseman Ryon Healy are not in the starting lineup on Sunday. Mitch Haniger slides over to center field and will hit leadoff, while Dylan Moore is at the hot corner and is hitting ninth against Astros starting pitcher Gerrit Cole. Haniger will always be a fine DFS option, […]
Brock Holt Needs Rehab Assignment Before Returning
Boston Red Sox infielder Brock Holt (eye) will visit with a doctor in Boston on Tuesday and will likely require a few minor league rehab games before being activated from the injured list. Holt is eligible to return on Monday, but he will need more time than that. If all goes well in his rehab […]
Niko Goodrum On The Bench Again
Detroit Tigers utility man Niko Goodrum (illness) is out the lineup again on Sunday as the Tigers take on Jose Berrios and the Twins. Goodrum has been a bright spot in the Tigers lineup, batting .293/.420/.512 through 13 games thus far. He should be back in there soon, which is good news for both fantasy […]
Angels-Cubs Postponed Sunday
The game between the Los Angeles Angels and Chicago Cubs on Sunday has been postponed due to inclement weather. No makeup date has been announced so far.
