Alex Bregman Slugging .655 In September

Houston Astros infielder Alex Bregman is stuck in a 3-for-22 skid but is slugging .655 in the final month of the season heading into Friday.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (9/21/18): MLB DFS Lineups

With the battle for Chicago taking place at 4:10pm EST, we won’t have a full 15-game slate on Friday night for DraftKings. However, 14 games is still a full player pool to work with when constructing a lineup. Three games have an over/under of at least nine total runs, with the SEA/TEX matchup leading the […]

Week 26 Waiver Wire: H2H Category Streamers

I like to consider myself a pioneer of the streaming approach. I won a league about seven years ago by completely ignoring saves and just stacking up the starts each week. While streaming is undoubtedly more directly associated with pitching, there's plenty of value in streaming for offense as well. Maybe you have a stacked […]

Eduardo Nunez Out This Weekend

Boston Red Sox infielder Eduardo Nunez (hamstring) will miss the entire weekend with a hamstring injury. It was initially believed that Nunez aggravated a knee injury, but it's his hamstring. Either way, he won't play at all this weekend and might not play much at all over the final week of the season in order […]

Jeimer Candelario is Still Dealing with Back Pain

Detroit Tigers third baseman Jeimer Candelario (back) missed his second straight game on Thursday due to lumbar spine spasms. Candelario has been playing basically every day for the Tigers and in what has been an up and down season for him at the plate. He won't be valuable in fantasy leagues anymore especially with this […]

Brian Anderson is Sitting Out on Thursday

Miami Marlins third baseman/outfielder Brian Anderson (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. Anderson has not hit well lately, so the Marlins are giving him extra days off. Miguel Rojas will lead off and play third base versus lefty Cody Reed. DFS players should be safe to use […]

Josh Donaldson is Sitting Out on Thursday

Cleveland Indians third baseman Josh Donaldson (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Chicago White Sox. Donaldson started his first back-to-back games on Tuesday and Wednesday since joining the Indians. He'll get a rest day on Thursday, but should be back in there on Friday. Yandy Diaz will bat sixth […]

Todd Frazier is Out on Thursday

New York Mets third baseman Todd Frazier (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Washington Nationals. This appears to be a routine off day for the struggling veteran slugger. Jose Reyes will play third base and bat seventh versus Max Scherzer. DFS players should ignore Reyes and most of the […]

Rafael Devers is Back in the Lineup

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers is back in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the New York Yankees. Devers sat out the last two games and has been slumping at the plate over the last two weeks. He'll bat sixth and play third base versus righty Masahiro Tanaka. DFS players can go […]

Wilmer Flores Done For The Year

New York Mets infielder Wilmer Flores (knees) will be shut down for the rest of the year after being diagnosed with early-onset arthritis in both of his knees. Manager Mickey Callaway is unsure what this will mean for Flores' future. It can't be a good sign for the 27-year-old. Flores was a part-time player for […]

Wil Myers Goes Deep Wednesday

San Diego Padres third baseman Wil Myers mashed a two-run homer in Wednesday’s victory against the San Francisco Giants. Myers has been a major disappointment this season due to myriad of injuries and inconsistency, but he has amassed double-digit long balls (11) and steals (10-for-10) for the third consecutive season in just 303 plate appearances. […]

Manny Machado Slumping In September

Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop/third baseman Manny Machado's September woes continued in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Rockies, as he went 0-for-4. Machado has been an absolute stud for most of the season but has cooled off in September, hitting just .246 with two home runs and eight RBI in 75 plate appearances. While these numbers […]

Rookie Report: Recent MLB Prospect Call-Ups (Week 25)

In this week's Rookie Report, we'll be taking a look at several catchers making an impact in fantasy this month.

Welcome to Week 25 of the 2018 MLB season and a new week of our investigation into the steepest power trenders in baseball, whether those trends are positive or negative.

Ehire Adrianza Knocks Two Doubles

Minnesota Twins infielder Ehire Adrianza went 3-for-4 with two doubles, three runs, and one RBI in his team's 8-2 win over the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday. Adrianza, who has been serving as the Twins' regular third baseman with Miguel Sano out, has posted a .250 average, six homers, 19 doubles, 39 runs, 37 RBI, and […]

Eduardo Nunez Injures Knee Wednesday

Boston Red Sox infielder Eduardo Nunez (knee) left the game in the ninth inning on Wednesday with pain in his right knee. The knee has bothered him over the last week, and he will not play on Thursday as a result. "He felt it a little bit when he was running to first," manager Alex […]

Wil Myers Returns to the Lineup on Wednesday

San Diego Padres third baseman Wil Myers is back in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the San Francisco Giants. Myers was given the day off on Tuesday to rest, but he's back and ready to go on Wednesday. Myers will lead off and play third base versus righty Chris Stratton. He owns a […]

Rafael Devers is Sitting Out Again on Wednesday

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the New York Yankees. Devers has awful career numbers against Yankees starter Luis Severino. That is likely why he is out of the lineup, but he's also struggled heavily over the last two weeks. Eduardo Nunez will […]

Wilmer Flores To Be Evaluated

New York Mets infielder Wilmer Flores (knees) is returning to New York to be checked out by doctors on Wednesday, according to manager Mickey Callaway. Even with the Mets well out of the playoff race, Flores hasn't been playing much and hasn't been very effective when he's been in there. There's a good chance that […]

Adrian Beltre Has Tough Week

Texas Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre has had an extremely tough week at the plate.

Neil Walker's Blast Propels Yankees To Victory

The New York Yankees only had three hits against the Boston Red Sox Tuesday night in the Bronx. They still managed to prevail, however, as Neil Walker provided the biggest hit of the game. Starting at first base over Luke Voit and Greg Bird, the 33-year-old stepped up to the plate in the seventh with […]

X-Rays Negative On Travis Shaw

Updating a previous report, X-rays turned up negative on Milwaukee Brewers infielder Travis Shaw (knee) after he was hit by a pitch and left the game early on Tuesday. Shaw is likely just dealing with a knee contusion and could return very soon. There's a chance he might not even need to miss a game. […]
