Alex Bregman Slashing .320/.421/.601 Since All-Star Break

Houston Astros infielder Alex Bregman continues to scorch every opponent that crosses his path, going 2-for-3 with a home run and five runs batted in against the Twins. Bregman is perhaps the hottest hitter in the game right now and his 25-for-56 (.446) over his last 15 games with five home runs, 19 RBI and […]

Jung Ho Kang, Chad Kuhl Working To Play In Games

Pittsburgh Pirates infielder Jung Ho Kang (wrist) and starting pitcher Chad Kuhl (forearm) are hoping to play in competitive games before the end of the season. Kang had surgery to debride cartilage in his left wrist on Aug. 3, and he recently moved to the team's spring training facility in Florida. He is swinging a […]

Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Aledmys Diaz was 2-for-4 with a home run, three RBI, and two runs scored in Wednesday's 10-3 win over the Tampa Bay Rays.

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (9/6/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

We have a VERY small four-game slate tonight, which starts early, at 6:40 pm est. That is due to the fact the NFL is kicking off tonight, so we have a very limited slate and the options are a bit thin today. In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball lineup […]

Power Risers/Fallers for Week 23: Buy or Sell?

Welcome to Week 23 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. September has finally arrived, which means the homestretch of 2018 is upon us. Most fantasy baseball leagues have already had their trade deadlines come and […]

Max Muncy Hits Home Run Wednesday, But Still Slumping

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Max Muncy went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 7-3 loss to the Mets. Muncy crushed a fourth-inning Zack Wheeler fastball deep into the center-field seats for his 32nd HR of the season. While the HR total and the 62 RBI to go with it are good season numbers, […]

Miguel Sano Hopes To Hit Friday

Minnesota Twins third baseman Miguel Sano (leg), who was limping noticeably on Wednesday after injuring himself on a slide on Tuesday, is hoping to hit on the field as soon as Friday. Sano was carted off the field on Tuesday but was diagnosed with a bone bruise in his surgically repaired left leg. It's unclear […]

Justin Bour is in The Starting Lineup on Wednesday

Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Justin Bour (oblique) is back in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Miami Marlins. Bour was activated off the disabled list on Sunday, but has only seen one at-bat since then. He'll bat second and play first base versus righty Sandy Alcantara. Carlos Santana will shift from first base […]

Kyle Seager's Season Continues To Sink

Seattle Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager is 7-for-52 (.135) over his last 15 games as his season continues to spiral downward offensively. The veteran is careening towards his worst offensive season as a pro and has not homered since August 18. He is hitting only .225 with runners in scoring position and is slugging only […]

Jose Ramirez Getting Wednesday Off

Cleveland Indians infielder Jose Ramirez is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Kansas City Royals. There doesn't seem to be any kind of injury to worry about here, it's just a routine day off for Ramirez. Yandy Diaz will step in to play third base and hit third while Ramirez gets […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (9/5/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

We've got two matinee games and a nice looking 12-game Main slate beginning at 7:05 Eastern. The pitching options are no doubt a downgrade from yesterday's smorgasboard, but there's still a nice mix of cash and tournament options. I'm going to call out a few Vegas lines that are worth a look as of this […]

Asdrubal Cabrera Drives In Three Runs For Phillies

Starting at third base and batting fifth for the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday, Asdrubal Cabrera was instrumental in his club's 9-4 victory over the Miami Marlins, snapping a three-game losing streak. The 32-year-old first drove in two runners with a double and later drilled a home run, putting his club ahead by six runs. Cabrera […]

Miguel Sano Injured Tuesday

Minnesota Twins third baseman Miguel Sano (leg) left the game early on Tuesday with a lower left leg bruise. Cano had to be carted off the field, so this initially had the looks of a serious injury and one that could've potentially been related to his serious leg injury in 2017. It looks like Sano […]

Kyle Seager is Out of the Lineup on Tuesday

Seattle Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. It appears this is just a rest day for Seager, who doesn't have good career numbers off O's starter Alex Cobb anyway. Robinson Cano will play third base and bat second against Cobb. Cano is […]

Eduardo Nunez's Playing Time Won't Be Cut Back Much

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers is expected to start at third base on Wednesday, but manager Alex Cora doesn't seem to have plans to cut back on infielder Eduardo Nunez's playing time very much. Devers just got back from the disabled list on Tuesday, but Nunez has been filling in nicely at third […]

Mike Moustakas is Out on Tuesday

Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Mike Moustakas (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Chicago Cubs. Moustakas does not hit left-handed pitching well, so the Brewers will let him sit this one out. Travis Shaw will slide over to third base and bat sixth versus lefty Mike Montgomery. Although, Shaw does […]

Yandy Diaz is Back in the Lineup on Tuesday

Cleveland Indians third baseman Yandy Diaz is back in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Kansas City Royals. Diaz has struggled at the plate lately, but has been solid with the bat throughout most of the season. He will serve as the DH and bat second versus lefty Danny Duffy. Diaz does not […]

Angels Release Infielder Nolan Fontana

The Los Angeles Angels have released infielder Nolan Fontana, clearing a roster spot for catcher Joe Hudson. Fontana is a career .065 hitter in two partial seasons. His two career hits were both home runs. Fontana will likely catch on as AAA depth with someone else, but he is far away from fantasy relevance.

Maikel Franco To Undergo MRI

Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Maikel Franco (hand) is expected to undergo an MRI exam in the next day or two, as his hand is still sore and swollen. Franco won't play on Tuesday and could be out for a while, depending on the MRI results. Asdrubal Cabrera will continue to play third base with Scott […]

Rafael Devers Activated Off Of Disabled List

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers was activated off of the 10-day disabled list on Tuesday afternoon. Devers had missed a couple of weeks with a hamstring strain. A trendy breakout pick coming into the season, the 21-year-old has heartily disappointed those fantasy owners who spent a draft pick on him. Devers has a […]

Martin Prado's Season Is Over

The Miami Marlins placed third baseman Martin Prado (abdomen) on the 60-day disabled list on Tuesday, ending his season. The 34-year-old hit .244 with one homer and 18 RBI in just 54 games for the Fish this year. His days of being fantasy relevant are over. Miguel Rojas is likely to play the hot corner […]

Josh Donaldson Hits Grand Slam In Minor League Game

Cleveland Indians third baseman Josh Donaldson (calf) hit a grand slam on Monday with Triple-A Columbus. The Indians are planning to build Donaldson's workload so that he is ready to come off the disabled list on Sept. 11, according to manager Terry Francona. Donaldson played six innings at third base and will return to Cleveland […]

NL-Only Waiver Wire Team of the Week: MLB Week 23

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 […]

Matt Duffy Drives in Two Runs Monday Versus Toronto

Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Matt Duffy had his second multi-RBI game in three days Monday versus the Blue Jays. He would go 2-for-4 which brought him to .299 for the season. He also drove in two runs, like he did Saturday. Duffy could become the first qualifying batter to hit .300 for the Rays […]

Alex Bregman Homers For Third Straight Game

Houston Astros infielder Alex Bregman went 1-for-3 on Sunday, including his 28th home run of the season as the Astros beat the Twins 4-1. The first-inning blast made it three straight games with a home run for Bregman and he now has 89 runs driven in on the season. The 24-year-old has been tearing the […]
