FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (9/11/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

FanDuel generally struggles to correctly price their players when coming off of the DL. That is the case again tonight, as Chris Sale will be on an innings restriction, but may be able to hit value for his current price. We'll discuss that more below. In this article, I will be providing you with my […]

Nicholas Castellanos Collects Two More Hits

Detroit Tigers right fielder Nicholas Castellanos had two hits on Monday, his second straight multi-hit game and his third such effort in the last five games. Castellanos has been churning out hits for about a month now, working to a .342 average over his last 30 games with four homers and 20 RBI to boot. […]

NL-Only Waiver Wire Team of the Week: MLB Week 24

Every week in baseball, a significant player will hit the disabled list, slip into a slump, or get traded out of a good spot. How fantasy owners adapt to these situations can make or break the season as a whole. One lousy add might not hurt the long-term standing of a team, but failing to […]

Ryder Jones To Have Surgery In A Few Days

San Francisco Giants first baseman Ryder Jones (knee) will have surgery in a couple of days to fix his dislocated left knee. Jones is a promising prospect for the Giants, so it was a shame for him to go down and lose a chance at regular at-bats down the stretch. He had hit two homers […]

Daniel Descalso To See More Time At Second Base

Arizona Diamondbacks infielder Daniel Descalso will see more time at second base down the stretch at the expense of Ketel Marte, according to manager Torey Lovullo. Descalso and Marte have basically been pretty close to the same player this year, but Descalso brings more of a veteran presence to the starting lineup, offers more position […]

Kyle Seager Hitting .170 Since All-Star Break

Seattle Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager's season continues to spiral out of control. He is slashing only .170/.224/.307 over his last 153 at-bats and is currently in a 7-for-51 (.137) rut over his last 15 games. The veteran slugger is having his worst season as a pro and his lack of plate discipline is easy […]

Jedd Gyorko Hitting In Cages Monday

St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Jedd Gyorko (groin) is taking batting practice in the cages on Monday. Gyorko doesn't have a timeline to return and isn't a lock to make it back before the end of the season. Fantasy owners shouldn't be holding out for him to return any more fantasy value. Infielders Matt Carpenter […]

Miguel Sano is Still Sidelined on Monday

Minnesota Twins third baseman Miguel Sano (knee) remains out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the New York Yankees. Sano has not played since last Tuesday due to a left knee injury. The Twins have not given an update on his timetable, so Sano could be out for the rest of the season. […]

Travis Shaw is Sitting Out on Monday

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Travis Shaw (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Chicago Cubs. Shaw will sit out his second straight game as the Brewers face another left-handed starter on Monday. Jonathan Schoop is at second base and will bat fifth, while Mike Moustakas is at third base and batting […]

Asdrubal Cabrera is Out of the Lineup on Monday

Philadelphia Phillies infielder Asdrubal Cabrera (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Washington Nationals. Maikel Franco (wrist) is back in the starting lineup, so Cabrera's playing time could take a minor hit. Scott Kingery will start at shortstop and bat seventh versus righty Erick Fedde. Kingery can be avoided in […]

Maikel Franco Returns to the Lineup on Monday

Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Maikel Franco (wrist) has returned to the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Washington Nationals. Franco missed seven straight games due to a bone bruise in his right wrist. He took a few at-bats off the bench the last couple of games, but feels well enough to start on Monday. […]

Johan Camargo Batting .342 In Last 30 Games

Atlanta Braves third baseman Johan Camargo was 1-for-4 with a two-run homer and a walk in Sunday's 9-5 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks. Camargo has been on an absolute tear lately, registering five homers, 20 RBI, and a .342 average over his last 30 games. Due to the surge, Camargo has seen himself moved up to […]

Kevin Kiermaier, Matt Duffy Out Monday

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier (illness) and infielder Matt Duffy (back) are both out of the starting lineup on Monday. Kiermaier has been hot this month, going 13-for-25 (.520) with three homers and seven RBI in seven games. Duffy has been hitting, too, going 8-for-26 (.308) with no homers and seven RBI in the […]

Widely regarded as bat-first, he disappointed slightly in his rookie season. Plagued by injury […]

Adrian Beltre Having a Superb September So Far

Texas Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre is showing glimpses of his old self so far in September. In 33 plate appearances Beltre has five home runs with a .367 batting average. Entering this month Beltre had just seven home runs in this injury hit season, but his bat has finally seemed to come alive with […]

Adrian Beltre Playing Third Base Every Other Day

Texas Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre has returned to playing third base every other day. On the other days Beltre remains in the lineup but gets to start as the designated hitter, which allows him to rest the hamstrings which have caused him so much strife this season. Beltre is yet to decide whether to […]

Statcast Hitter Analysis - Launch Angle Risers/Fallers (Week 24)

It's impossible to resist making a pun about launch angle leaders being real "risers" so let's get that out of the way first. Now, let's recognize that launch angle can, but does not always, be an indicator of power production. For this reason, we'll need to look at the names which stand out on the […]

AL-Only Waiver Wire Team of the Week: MLB Week 24

Every week in baseball, a significant player will hit the disabled list, slip into a slump, or get traded out of a good spot. How fantasy owners adapt to these situations can make or break the season as a whole. One lousy add might not hurt the long-term standing of a team, but failing to […]

Justin Turner Gets Four Hits Sunday, Stays On Fire

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner had a massive game at the plate in Sunday's 9-6 win over the Rockies. Turner went 4-for-5 with a single, two doubles, a two-run home run, and a walk. The 33-year-old has been crushing the baseball in the second half of the season, batting .386 with eight HR […]

Ryder Jones Out For The Season

San Francisco Giants infielder Ryder Jones (knee) will miss the rest of the season after dislocating his knee on Sunday. “It’s a shame. The kid’s getting a chance to play up here and fix his swing, and that happens," manager Bruce Bochy said. Jones' 2015 season ended prematurely with a dislocated knee as well. Jones […]

Miguel Andujar Injured Saturday

New York Yankees rookie third baseman Miguel Andujar (forearm) was removed from the game early on Saturday after he was hit by a pitch on the right forearm. Andujar was 2-for-3 with a strikeout before leaving the game. The injury didn't look to be too serious, but don't be surprised if he's rested on Sunday. […]

Yangervis Solarte Activated From DL

The Toronto Blue Jays activated infielder Yangervis Solarte (oblique) from the 10-day disabled list on Sunday, and he will play second base and hit seventh against Indians starter Mike Clevinger. Solarte may not be a great play initially in a tough matchup against Clevinger, but he'll return to being valuable in deep mixed and AL-only […]
