Johan Camargo Reaches Base Four Times On Monday

Atlanta Braves third baseman Johan Camargo was 2-for-3 with two walks on Monday night. The 24-year-old now has a .375 average with two homers and eight RBI through his past 15 games. Camargo is still criminally under-owned on almost all fantasy sites. He is up to a .278 average for the season with 15 homers […]

Niko Goodrum Swats 16th Homer

Detroit Tigers first baseman Niko Goodrum went 1-for-4 with a home run in Monday's loss to the Chicago White Sox. His solo blast came in the 7th inning off White Sox starter Reynaldo Lopez. It was his 16th home run and 45th RBI of the year. His season slash line sits at .234/.306/.429, chipping in […]

Miguel Sano Drives In One Monday

Minnesota Twins third baseman Miguel Sano went 1-for-4 with one RBI in his team's 4-1 loss to the Houston Astros on Monday. Sano drove in his 41st run of the season with an RBI single in the sixth inning. The veteran third baseman is now hitting .202 with a .687 OPS, 13 homers, and 32 […]

David Wright To Play In Simulated Games

New York Mets third baseman David Wright (shoulder) will begin playing in simulated games when the team returns home this weekend, according to manager Mickey Callaway. Wright didn't hit very well on his rehab assignment, but the biggest takeaway is that he didn't have any injury setbacks. Wright hasn't played in the major leagues since […]

Maikel Franco Unlikely To Play Tuesday

Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Maikel Franco (wrist) is dealing with a wrist issue and is unlikely to play on Tuesday. He needed an X-ray on Sunday and said it hurts when he swings. Asdrubal Cabrera is likely to continue playing the hot corner until Franco recovers. The 26-year-old has hit .267/.311/.470 on the season with […]

Marwin Gonzalez Injured Monday

Houston Astros infielder Marwin Gonzalez (oblique) left the game early on Monday with right oblique discomfort. Gonzalez didn't have a plate appearance in the game before leaving. Oblique injuries can be tricky to recover from, so this could be an extended absence for Gonzalez. The utility man is hitting .247/.324/.409 with 14 home runs, 52 […]

Red Sox To Activate Rafael Devers, Add Brandon Phillips

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers (hamstring) will be activated from the disabled list on Tuesday, and the team will also recall second baseman Brandon Phillips from the minors. Devers has hit .242 with 16 home runs, 55 RBI and five steals as the team's main third baseman this year. He should return to […]

Indians Put Josh Donaldson On DL

The Cleveland Indians placed third baseman Josh Donaldson (calf) on the 10-day disabled list on Monday. The move is retroactive to Sept. 1. He will play third base and bat second for Triple-A Columbus on Monday. Donaldson was making some progress on a rehab assignment with Toronto before being traded to the Indians, so there's […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (9/3/18): MLB DFS Lineups

We have a full, 15-game slate on Labor Day, so every team is available in the player pool. That’s great news and that’s overwhelming news. That means we need to go through each lineup and inspect for any surprises or bonus value plays. Of the 15 games on the schedule, six matchups have an over/under […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (9/3/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

While having all 30 teams in action is a welcomed development for this Monday slate, FanDuel unfortunately broke up the slate so that there isn't the majority of games unless you play the all day slate (which doesn't offer major tournaments). That said, this lineup will focus on the early only slate, which features seven […]

Statcast Hitter Analysis - Exit Velocity Risers/Fallers (Week 23)

Even if you know very little about Statcast, you know exit velocity. Even the most hardened, old-school baseball announcer has at least incorporated this term in his vernacular, if nothing else related to sabermetrics. As the second half progresses, we'll take another look at this important stat by examining the last month's worth of data […]

AL-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 […]

Max Muncy Hits 31st Home Run Of Season Sunday

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Max Muncy went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Diamondbacks. The 28-year-old, who was a fantasy All-Star for the first half of the season, has cooled off significantly and has hit just .226 with nine HR in the second half. It would […]

Colin Moran Provides The Only Offense Sunday

Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Colin Moran had three hits and had the only RBI on Sunday against the Atlanta Braves. Moran has a slash line of .364/.364/.409 over his last 15 games. Moran has a clear path to playing time with David Freese being traded. Moran probably isn't worth picking up for fantasy purposes in […]

T.J. Rivera Done For The Year

New York Mets infielder T.J. Rivera (elbow) is out for the rest of the season, according to manager Mickey Callaway. Rivera was trying to make it back from Tommy John surgery a year ago, but he wasn't able to play at all in 2018. He hit .290 with five home runs and 27 RBI in […]

Eugenio Suarez Hits Game-Winning Homer Sunday

Cincinnati Reds third baseman Eugenio Suarez went 1-for-5 with a game-winning, two-run homer against the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday. With the game tied 3-3, Suarez crushed a 10th inning offering from St. Louis closer Bud Norris to give his team the lead. The veteran third baseman continues to march toward a career-year. He is […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (9/2/18): MLB DFS Lineups

Due to some later start times we've got a smaller, eight game slate this Sunday on DraftKings. There were also a few pitchers to have their starts moved, including Max Scherzer, Kyle Gibson, and Pablo Lopez. Because of this many games don't have totals in as of writing this. In this article, I will be […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (9/2/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

We have a relatively small Sunday slate, which is the case more often than not. With that being said, there are 15 total games today.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 23% of leagues ANALYSIS: Since June 28, Tampa Bay Rays utility man Joey Wendle has failed to record a hit in just eight of 50 games played, and one of those was just a pinch-hit appearance. A two-hit night on Saturday gave him 19 such efforts […]

The Cut List (Week 23): Time to Let Go?

Welcome to Week 23 of the Cut List. Corey Dickerson, Michael Conforto, Maikel Franco, and Max Kepler should be cut in all standard league formats as we head into playoff time. You should be scouring the free agent list so you can put yourself in the best position to win each day. Believe me, the […]

Wilmer Flores (1B/2B/3B, NYM) - Week 23 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 10% of leagues ANALYSIS: Flores has had a decent go of it this year and the results were likely more than most had expected. He has 11 homers, 48 RBI, and a .272 average. Additionally, as a utility player, he has earned positional eligibility all over […]

Johan Camargo (2B/3B/SS, ATL) - Week 23 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 38% of leagues ANALYSIS: It is anyone's guess who is more surprised, the Braves organization or fantasy baseball managers. Johan Camargo has been a revelation this season. His performance hasn’t been one that single-handedly carries your team to a championship, but he definitely is a contributing […]

Eugenio Suarez Plates Two Runs On Saturday

Cincinnati Reds third baseman Eugenio Suarez continued his march toward his first 100-RBI season on Saturday. Suarez went 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI to help down the St. Louis Cardinals 4-0. The star third baseman is now hitting .296 with a .934 OPS, 30 homers, 71 runs, and 98 RBI. He will look […]

Kris Bryant Produces In Return

Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant (shoulder) made his first start of his return from injury Saturday versus Philadelphia. He would collect two hits and score a key run as he shows he is still a really good hitter. He has returned along with Addison Russell to create a logjam at three positions (3B, 2B, […]

David Bote Produces Off The Bench Saturday

Chicago Cubs third baseman David Bote made the most of his chance in the ninth inning Saturday versus the Phillies. He would double as a pinch-hitter to drive in a run before getting knocked in for the final run of the game. Due to the return of multiple regulars on Saturday, the ability to contribute […]

Matt Duffy Drives In Two Runs Saturday Versus Cleveland

Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Matt Duffy stepped up to help the team come back Saturday versus the Indians. He would double in the sixth inning to drive in two and tie the game at 2-2. Duffy would then get driven in to take the lead. Duffy is now batting .297 this season and could […]

Evan Longoria Goes Deep Saturday

San Francisco Giants third baseman Evan Longoria went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 2-1 extra-inning loss to the Mets. Longoria put the first run of the game on the board by hitting a towering fly ball into the center-field seats off of a fourth-inning Steven Matz fastball. The veteran is now hitting […]

Kris Bryant Activated Off DL, Starting Saturday

Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant (shoulder) has been activated off the disabled list and is starting against the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday. Bryant has missed roughly two months due to a left shoulder injury. He's playing third base and batting fifth against righty Zach Eflin. Bryant is worth a look for DFS contests on […]

Johan Camargo Cranks Solo Shot on Friday

Atlanta Braves third baseman Johan Camargo was 2-for-3 at the plate with a solo homer on Friday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Camargo is now batting .278 on the season with 15 home runs and 64 RBI. He was exceptional in August, as he had a sizzling .327 average during the month. He has a 36.2% […]
