Eduardo Nunez Won't Play Friday

Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora said that infielder Eduardo Nunez (knee), who left the game early with a sore right knee on Thursday, will not play on Friday but could return to play Saturday. It doesn't appear Nunez's injury is too serious, but they'll give him a game to rest. Nunez doesn't have the […]

Eduardo Nunez Leaves Game Early Thursday

Boston Red Sox infielder Eduardo Nunez (knee) left the game early on Thursday with right knee soreness, but he's being listed as day-to-day. Nunez had a double in two plate appearances before departing this contest. He's hitting .262/.287/.387 with 10 home runs, 55 runs scored, 44 RBI and seven steals on the season and should […]

David Wright To Return For Final Homestand

New York Mets third baseman David Wright (shoulder) will be activated for the team's final homestand of the season against the Marlins. This is a nice story to end the season, as Wright hasn't played in the big leagues since May of 2016 due to an assortment of serious injuries. The 35-year-old didn't hit very […]

Nolan Arenado Drills 33rd Homer

Colorado Rockies third baseman Nolan Arenado has fallen a bit out of the spotlight recently as shortstop Trevor Story has burst onto the national scene, but Arenado has still been the backbone of the team's offense. Arenado went 3-for-4 on Wednesday night and hit his 33rd home run of the season. Arenado's bomb gave him […]

Justin Turner Plates Three Runs Wednesday

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner had another nice day at the plate in Wednesday's 8-1 win over the Reds. Turner went 2-for-5 with a single, a double, and three RBI. The veteran has had another impressive season while he has been healthy, hitting .311 with 13 home runs and 46 RBI in 352 […]

Matt Davidson Should Return Friday

Chicago White Sox third baseman Matt Davidson (calf) is nursing a sore left calf but should be able to return to the starting lineup on Friday after the off day on Thursday, according to manager Rick Renteria. Davidson is available off the bench on Wednesday. The slugging third baseman doesn't help fantasy owners in the […]

Alex Bregman's Huge Game Puts Him In Rare Air

Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman went 2-for-5 on Wednesday, including his 50th double of the season and three runs batted in during the Astros 5-4 win over the Tigers. Bregman became the first Astros player to drive in 100 runs in a season since Carlos Lee accomplished the feat in 2009 and his 50 […]

Jung Ho Kang Progressing

Pittsburgh Pirates infielder Jung Ho Kang (wrist) has been hitting soft toss, fielding ground balls and throwing without pain. Head trainer Todd Tomczyk said the team hopes to get Kang at-bats in the fall instructional league. Time is running out to get Kang into a major league game, but he's making nice progress and should […]

Jose Ramirez Gets Cleveland's Only Hit of the Day

Cleveland Indians infielder Jose Ramirez got the only hit of the day for his team, hitting a solo home run in the seventh inning. Rays starter Blake Snell was throwing a no-hitter before Ramirez came up to ruin it. The Cleveland hitters were unable to get any other hits after Ramirez's blast. It was his […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (9/12/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (9/12/18): MLB DFS Lineups

David Wright Takes Live BP Tuesday

New York Mets third baseman David Wright (shoulder) took live batting practice on Tuesday against two of the team's top-ranked pitching prospects in Justin Dunn and David Peterson. Wright is expected to talk with chief operating officer Jeff Wilpon before the Mets leave for their final road trip of the season on Thursday about his […]

Jedd Gyorko Activated From DL

The St. Louis Cardinals activated third baseman Jedd Gyorko (groin) from the 10-day disabled list on Wednesday. Gyorko will probably play sparingly down the stretch as the Cardinals try to secure a playoff spot. The 29-year-old is batting .267/.348/.436 on the season with 11 home runs and 43 RBI. He's really only an option in […]

Eugenio Suarez Picks Up Two Singles

Cincinnati Reds third baseman Eugenio Suarez went 2-for-4 with two singles in his team's 3-1 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday. While he finished with two hits, it wasn't a great all-around game for the third baseman, who grounded into a double play and left four runners on base. Suarez is enjoying the […]

Maikel Franco Injured After Fall Into Camera Well

Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Maikel Franco (shoulder, neck) left the game early on Tuesday after falling over the railing while trying to make a catch in foul territory. He is dealing with a shoulder contusion and neck tightness and could easily be held out a few days as a result. It's a shame, as Franco […]

Johan Camargo Injured Tuesday

Atlanta Braves third baseman Johan Camargo (groin) left the game early on Tuesday with left groin tightness. Camargo was hitless in two plate appearances before departing the contest. He has held his own as the regular third baseman this year, hitting .274/.354/.468 with 18 home runs, 58 runs scored and 70 RBI on the season. […]

Matt Davidson Out With General Soreness

Chicago White Sox third baseman/first baseman Matt Davidson is out of the lineup on Tuesday with general soreness after playing first base extensively when Jose Abreu was on the shelf. Davidson has now been on the bench the last two games. The slugging corner infielder has 20 homers and 58 RBI on the year, but […]

Miguel Sano Still Remains Sidelined on Tuesday

Minnesota Twins third baseman Miguel Sano (knee) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the New York Yankees. It has now been a full week that Sano has missed due to a left knee issue. It's unclear when he'll return, so fantasy owners should not bother counting on him. Ehire Adrianza will […]

Mike Moustakas is Sitting Out on Tuesday

Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Mike Moustakas (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Chicago Cubs. The Brewers have been stuck facing a bunch of left-handed starters, so Moustakas has seen plenty of the bench as of late. Travis Shaw will slide over to third base and bat sixth, while Jonathan […]

Taylor Ward Out of Tuesday's Lineup

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Taylor Ward is out of the lineup on Tuesday. Kaleb Cowart is batting eighth and playing third base in his absence. Ward has hit .214 with three home runs since getting recalled. Neither are worth a roster spot except in very deep leagues. Cowart is not a DFS play today.

Addison Russell is Out on Tuesday

Chicago Cubs shortstop Addison Russell (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. The Cubs have so much depth that guys like Russell are forced to take breathers even when they might not need one. Javier Baez will slide over to shortstop and bat fifth, while Tommy La Stella […]

Jedd Gyorko Expected To Return Thursday

St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Jedd Gyorko (groin) is expected to be activated from the disabled list on Thursday, provided he suffers no setbacks before then. Gyorko might be more of a utility player down the stretch for the Cardinals, which will limit his fantasy value to mostly NL-only leagues. The 29-year-old is hitting .267/.348/.436 […]

Justin Turner is Sitting Out on Tuesday

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. It appears that Turner is just getting a breather on Tuesday. Manny Machado will slide over to third base and bat third, while Chris Taylor covers shortstop and bats seventh versus righty Luis Castillo. […]

Matt Duffy Available Off The Bench

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Matt Duffy (back) is feeling better after an MRI exam didn't show anything concerning, and he is available off the bench on Tuesday based on his pain tolerance. Duffy doesn't have a timetable for a return but is eyeing a potential return to the lineup on Friday. He has hit a […]

Josh Donaldson Activated From DL, In Lineup Tuesday

The Cleveland Indians activated third baseman Josh Donaldson (calf) from the disabled list on Tuesday, and he's starting at third base and batting fifth against Rays starter Tyler Glasnow in his team debut. Donaldson has been out since late May and has just five homers and 16 RBI on the season. However, he can provide […]
