Alex Bregman With 19 RBI Over Last 16 Games

Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman has really turned it on during the month of June and has driven in 19 runs over his last 16 games played. He is hitting .292 during that stretch with one triple, four doubles, six home runs and 16 runs scored while posting a .629 slugging percentage. Bregman got […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (6/22/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

We've got an interesting 14 game slate on our hands. The pitching options are intriguing, but they're all fairly mid-tier guys with no true aces in good spots tonight. That should make the playing field a little more even and those who are playing tournaments can hopefully spend less time worrying about ownership and more […]

Nolan Arenado Carries Rockies To Win

Colorado Rockies third baseman Nolan Arenado was quick to extend his home run streak to three straight games with a three-run bomb in the first inning on Thursday. He then put the game out of reach in the second by driving two more in with a bases-clearing double. Arenado has absolutely loved hitting against Mets […]

Week 13 Waiver Wire: H2H Category Streamers

I like to consider myself a pioneer of the streaming approach. I won a league about seven years ago 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 roster […]

Travis Shaw and Eric Thames Have Themselves A Day at Miller Park

Milwaukee Brewers lefty sluggers Travis Shaw and Eric Thames combined to go 4-for-9 and racked up three runs and five RBI in their squad's 11-3 beating of St. Louis. The two top-of-the-order bats teed off on Carlos Martinez on Thursday and ended his day after a mere four innings pitched. The Brewers have been taking advantage […]

DraftDaily Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (6/22/18): MLB DFS Lineups

In preparation for today's freeroll on DraftDaily, below you can find my recommended lineup picks. If you've never played on DraftDaily before, it is fairly similar to the other sites, but you tend to lose more points. Points are taken away for strikeouts and home runs allowed, but you also earn points for sacrifice flies. […]

Todd Frazier Goes Deep Against Rockies

New York Mets third baseman Todd Frazier largely struggled upon his return from the disabled list in early June, but in recent days he seems to have gotten into a bit of a groove. In a 6-4 loss to the Colorado Rockies on Thursday, Frazier finished 2-for-4 with a home run, two runs scored, and […]

Alen Hanson Returns Thursday

San Francisco Giants infielder Alen Hanson (knee) will be in Thursday’s lineup. Hanson left Wednesday’s game after taking a foul ball off of his knee. Hanson will be in left field and is hitting first Thursday. Hanson is worth a look in NL-only leagues with Evan Longoria (hand) sidelined.

Jake Lamb is Not Starting on Thursday

Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Jake Lamb (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. It's likely just a routine day off for the lefty slugger. Daniel Descalso will draw the start at third base on Thursday. Lamb has struggled this season since returning from the disabled list. However, his […]

Pedro Alvarez Heads to Triple-A

Baltimore Orioles third baseman Pedro Alvarez has cleared waivers and accepted an assignment to Triple-A Norfolk. He was designated for assignment earlier in the week and is now off the Orioles 40-man roster. Alvarez hit eight home runs and knocked in 18 runs, but hit just .180 before being demoted. He belongs on the waiver […]

Miguel Andujar Reaches Double-Digit Home Runs

After three consecutive hitless games last weekend, New York Yankees third baseman Miguel Andujar seems to have found his way again during his club’s sweep of the Seattle Mariners. The 23-year-old recorded four hits during the series, including two home runs to go with four RBI. It was vital that he break out, as he […]

Kyle Seager Pops 13th Home Run In Loss

Seattle Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager hit his 13th home run of the season in the Mariners 4-3 loss to the Yankees. Seager went deep off Yankees ace Luis Severino and his 2-for-4 performance is his first multi-hit game since June 10. Seager has 31 extra-base hits with 43 runs batted in but has not […]

Phillies Interested In Adrian Beltre

According to new reports, the market for third basemen is heating up as we approach July, with a couple of major names circulating. While Baltimore Orioles shortstop Manny Machado, who is approaching free agency, is the biggest name being discussed in trade talks, the Philadelphia Phillies are reportedly considering veteran Adrian Beltre of the Texas Rangers. […]

Eduardo Escobar Diagnosed With Right Elbow Contusion

Updating a previous report, Minnesota Twins infielder Eduardo Escobar (elbow) has officially been diagnosed with a right elbow contusion. Escobar got hit with a pitch in the first inning of Thursday's game against the Boston Red Sox. He stayed in the game until the bottom of the third, and was then ruled out in the […]

Eduardo Escobar Exits Thursday’s Game With Elbow Injury

Minnesota Twins infielder Eduardo Escobar (elbow) had to leave Thursday’s game against the Boston Red Sox with an injury. Escobar took a pitch right on his right elbow in the first inning. He went down at home plate for a while but managed to remain in the game. He was ruled out for the rest […]

Nolan Arenado Hits 15th Homer

Colorado Rockies third baseman Nolan Arenado had one of a slew of home runs on Wednesday night that helped propel the Rockies to victory. He also made fans worry for a bit after he was seen working on his arm and shoulder in the dugout during the game. When he returned to the field, he […]

Ryan McMahon Sent Back To Triple-A

The Colorado Rockies have optioned infielder Ryan McMahon back to Triple-A Albuquerque on Thursday. McMahon struggled to find regular playing time at the big-league level, and with first baseman Ian Desmond heating up, McMahon had become a bit dispensable. He was replaced by pitcher Yency Almonte, an expected addition to Colorado's terrible bullpen. McMahon is […]

Clint Frazier Leading Off, Brett Gardner Sits Again On Thursday

New York Yankees outfielder Clint Frazier will hit atop the lineup Thursday against the Seattle Mariners. He will play center field, while Aaron Hicks — who has been swinging a hot bat lately — gets the day off. As expected, veteran outfielder Brett Gardner (knee) will sit again, a move which manager Aaron Boone hopes […]

Jeimer Candelario Breaks Slump With Two Hits, Homer

Detroit Tigers third baseman Jeimer Candelario entered Wednesday's game against Cincinnati with just four hits over his last 10 games, but he busted out of that slump in a big way. Candelario went deep to the opposite field in the first inning off starting pitcher Tyler Mahle for his 11th homer of the season. He […]

Rookie Report: Recent MLB Prospect Call-Ups (Week 12)

Unfortunately, there has not been a lot of news recently on the prospect front. Unless you count the fact that the Mets will almost certainly not be calling up Peter Alonso this year to be news, that is. At this point, we're just waiting for teams to start service clocks for their blue-chip prospects; we should see […]

Power Risers/Fallers for Week 12: Buy or Sell?

Welcome to Week 12 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. As the season steamrolls through June, the window of opportunity to snag a surging slugger or to deal a down-and-out disappointment grows shorter with every […]

Mitch Walding Takes J.P. Crawford’s Roster Spot

In the aftermath of J.P. Crawford fracturing his left hand after getting hit on it Tuesday night, the Philadelphia Phillies went to the minor leagues to fill his voided roster spot. Infielder Mitch Walding, who already had a brief stint in the majors at the end of May and beginning of June, was once again […]

Pirates And Brewers Game Officially Postponed

Wednesday's Pittsburgh Pirates and Milwaukee Brewers game has officially been postponed. There is no date set for the makeup game. The two teams play each other September 21-23, and both teams are off the day before. The Pirates will attempt to host the Arizona Diamondbacks Thursday, and the Brewers will head back to Milwaukee to […]

Jung Ho Kang Out With Wrist Discomfort

Updating a previous report, Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Jung Ho Kang was removed from the Triple-A Indianapolis Indians game on Wednesday due to left wrist discomfort. There was a ton of Twitter buzz that he may have gotten the call to join the Bucs, but that's not the case for now. Kang is hitting the […]

Kyle Farmer Optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City

Los Angeles Dodgers catcher/infielder Kyle Farmer was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City after Wednesday's game. The Dodgers are off Thursday and this move points to the return of Chase Utley for Friday's game against the Mets. Farmer has no home runs, one run, and eight RBI to go with a weak .238/.310/.302 slash line.

Jose Ramirez Scores Three Runs and Drives in Three Runs

Cleveland Indians infielder Jose Ramirez drove in three runs and scored three runs on Wednesday, finishing 1-for-2 with a home run and two walks. He also stole his 10th base of the season in Cleveland's 12-0 blowout. Ramirez got off to a slow start this season, but he's more than made up for it since […]
