New York Yankees utility player Neil Walker hit the biggest blast on Friday night in a victory over the Toronto Blue Jays. In the fourth inning of the game, before a lengthy rain delay, the 32-year-old blasted a three-run home run to put the Yankees ahead by a run. While the Blue Jays would tie […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (8/18/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

We have a split slate of games with only three in the early window and then an 11-game main slate. Options are a bit thin across the board, so it could be a time to take a shot in some tournaments, where it's easy to be different. In this article, I will be providing you […]

Yandy Diaz Will Serve As DH on Friday

Cleveland Indians third baseman Yandy Diaz will jump into the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. Diaz was recalled on Sunday, but has already collected four hits in just seven plate appearances. He'll bat cleanup and serve as the DH against righty David Hess on Friday. It's a small sample size for […]

Isiah Kiner-Falefa At Catcher Friday

Texas Rangers catcher Isiah Kiner-Falefa will start behind the plate Friday. Robinson Chirinos will receive another day off, which has become a regular occurrence as of late. The question is whether the Rangers are trying to protect Chirinos, or if this is about getting Kiner-Falefa more time behind the plate for the future. Kiner-Falefa being […]

Adrian Beltre Remains Out Of Lineup Friday

Texas Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre (hamstring) remains out of the lineup for a third straight game. Beltre was removed from the game Monday and has not featured again for the Rangers since. Beltre has been diagnosed with a Grade-2 strain, which usually requires close to a month to recover from. However, the fact the […]

Rafael Devers Back to the Disabled List

Boston Red Sox sophomore third baseman Rafael Devers (hamstring) is headed back to the disabled list. This decision coincides with the return of second baseman Ian Kinsler. This is the third time this season that Devers has had to go to the disabled list, and the second time in two weeks it has been because […]

Ryan McMahon Leads Comeback Effort

Colorado Rockies rookie infielder Ryan McMahon was handed a big task on Thursday as he was sent up to pinch hit with the tying run at second base in the ninth inning. McMahon came through with a shot through the hole that tied up the game. He then swiped second base and came home on […]

Nolan Arenado Plays Through Pain

Colorado Rockies third baseman Nolan Arenado returned to the hot corner on Thursday night, playing his way through the sore shoulder that had kept him off the field for a week. Arenado had served some DH duty and felt comfortable swinging, but Thursday's return on the defensive side of the ball was a big step. […]

Brock Holt Hitting Well

Boston Red Sox infielder Brock Holt went 2-for-3 on Wednesday and is in the midst of a seven-game hitting streak, going 10-for-25 (.400) in that span. He's hitting just .268 with three homers, 31 RBI and six stolen bases on the year, so he's really only valuable in AL-only leagues. And with Ian Kinsler (hamstring) […]

Kris Bryant Expected To Return Before End Of Month

It's looking like the Chicago Cubs will get third baseman Kris Bryant (shoulder) back before the end of the month. "I expect the same impact I’ve always had,’’ said Bryant, who spent Thursday tracking pitches after taking light swings earlier in the week for the first time since last month. "I’m just going to go […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (8/17/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

After last night's disgusting pitching options, we're rightfully treated with a mess of strong options and elite arms this evening. We've got an attractive 14 game Main slate, too, with just the Mets and Phillies being left out of the group with their 6:05 start time. In this article, I will be providing you with […]

Miguel Sano Homers Again On Thursday

Minnesota Twins third baseman Miguel Sano hit his third homer in six games on Thursday as part of a 15-8 win over the Detroit Tigers. Sano went 2-for-4 with a single, a walk, and of course, that home run; his 10th of the season. The 25-year-old is having a very good August, hitting .298 with […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (8/17/18): MLB DFS Lineups

Week 21 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 […]

Scott Kingery Goes Yard In Home Victory

Just hours after pitching and getting smoked by a whopping 20 runs, Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Scott Kingery played a role as his offense recovered to split a doubleheader against the New York Mets. The 24-year-old recorded two hits batting from the seventh spot, including a solo home run that increased his team’s lead to two […]

Yangervis Solarte Doing Rehab Exercises

Toronto Blue Jays infielder Yangervis Solarte (oblique) is receiving treatment and has started his rehab exercises. He is expected to miss at least three weeks. That means he won't be back until sometime in September, limiting his fantasy contributions before the end of the year. He was slashing just .233/.287/.397 but was helping in deeper […]

Wil Myers is Out of the Lineup Thursday

San Diego Padres corner infielder/outfielder Wil Myers (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. It appears Thursday is just a routine day off for Myers. Christian Villanueva will bat seventh and play third base against righty Clay Buchholz. Villanueva has struggled against right-handed pitching this season, so he […]

Kris Bryant Hitting Off Tee

Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant (shoulder) has been hitting off a tee and in the cage while also tracking pitches off the machine and while pitchers throw bullpen sessions. The next step would be for him to face live pitching on the field. “There’s plenty of time for myself to get ready for hopefully […]

Russell Martin is Out on Thursday

Toronto Blue Jays third baseman/catcher Russell Martin (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Kansas City Royals. Martin will get a rest day, but seems to be heating up with the bat over the last two weeks. Aledmys Diaz is hitting eighth and playing third base against righty Glenn Sparkman […]

Adrian Beltre's Latest Injury Has Him Pondering Future

Texas Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre's (hamstring) latest lower-body injury has him questioning how much longer he'll play in the big leagues. If he plays in 2019 he'll be 40 years old. “That brings the question of, ‘Is this going to keep happening more often? Is it worth it to fight it back? Is it […]

Jedd Gyorko is Out of the Lineup Thursday

St. Louis Cardinals infielder Jedd Gyorko (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Washington Nationals. Greg Garcia will start at third base and bat eighth against righty Tanner Roark. Garcia can be avoided in fantasy leagues and DFS contests on Thursday. Roark has been pitching well lately and Garcia does […]

Washington Nationals outfielder Adam Eaton is back in the lineup on Thursday against the St. Louis Cardinals. Michael Taylor will sit. Matt Wieters will also return behind the plate, while Spencer Kieboom sits the matchup out. The rest of the Nationals lineup remains the same with right-hander Tanner Roark on the mound. The Nationals have […]

Adrian Beltre Remains Out Of Lineup Thursday

Texas Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre (hamstring) remains out of the lineup Thursday. The fact the Rangers still have no placed him on the disabled list indicates his absence will not be lengthy. In his place, Jurickson Profar will start at third base and hit fifth in the lineup. Profar has had success this season […]

Brett Phillips, Alcides Escobar Both Out Thursday

Kansas City Royals outfielder Brett Phillips and infielder Alcides Escobar are both out of the lineup on Thursday. Taking their places are Hunter Dozier at third and Whit Merrifield in the outfield. First baseman Ryan O'Hearn returns to first base with Lucas Duda serving as designated hitter. The Royals will be facing Sam Gaviglio and […]

T.J. Rivera To Join Team Next Month

New York Mets infielder T.J. Rivera (elbow) hasn't resumed his minor league rehab assignment yet after a setback last month, but he's still expected to join the team when rosters expand in September. Rivera is coming back from Tommy John surgery last summer. He has hit .304 with eight home runs and 43 RBI in […]
