Travis Shaw Removed From Game For Lack Of Effort On Grounder

Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Travis Shaw was removed by Brewers manager Craig Counsell after not running a grounder to the pitcher. Managers in the past have benched players for this sort of situation, so it would not come as a surprise to see Travis Shaw possibly benched for Sunday's bout against the Philadelphia Phillies. This […]

Matt Chapman Tallies Three Hits Saturday

Oakland Athletics third baseman Matt Chapman was the lone offensive bright spot for the A's Saturday, picking up three of the team's four hits in a 2-0 loss to the Royals. Chapman went 3-for-3 with three singles and a walk. The 25-year-old owns a disappointing .244/.337/.423 slash line on the season but has been doing […]

Eugenio Suarez Goes Yard Saturday

Cincinnati Reds third baseman Eugenio Suarez went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer against the St. Louis Cardinals on Saturday. The homer goes down as his 12th of the season, to go along with a .298 batting average, .948 OPS, 28 runs, and 47 RBI. Suarez missed almost two weeks this season with a fractured thumb […]

Yolmer Sanchez (2B, 3B, CHW) - Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 16% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Playing in the depths of the Southside, Yolmer Sanchez has quietly had a well-rounded season, slashing .276/.313/.413 with 24 runs scored and 27 RBI. He's also gone yard three times and is 5-for-7 in stolen base attempts. Sanchez primarily plays third base but […]

Adrian Beltre Sitting Saturday

Texas Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre will sit Saturday against the Houston Astros. Beltre played third base Friday for just the second time since returning from the disabled list. This is all part of the Rangers plan to keep Beltre healthy this time around, but hopefully going forward he will only be sitting out at […]

Christian Villanueva Sitting Saturday

San Diego Padres third baseman Christian Villanueva is out of Saturday's lineup against the Miami Marlins. Villanueva holds a .584 OPS against right-handed pitching this season and will take a seat against starter Dan Straily. Villanueva is slashing .232/.294/.525 and is second in the National League with 15 long balls this season. The upstart rookie […]

Jake Bauers Hitting Second, Christian Arroyo Playing Third

Tampa Bay Rays first baseman Jake Bauers will hit second at home against the Mariners on Saturday. Bauers, who had five home runs and 10 steals at Triple-A this season, has yet to register a hit in eight plate appearances with the Rays. Hitting second in the lineup makes Bauers an interesting DFS play against […]

Max Muncy Plates Two Friday, Continues To Produce

Los Angeles Dodgers corner infielder Max Muncy contributed to the Dodgers slugfest on Friday against the Braves, going 2-for-4 with a double, a solo home run and two RBI. Muncy's HR was one of five hit by the Dodgers in the 7-3 win. Muncy has performed well this season, posting a .262/.368/.566 slash line with […]

Mike Moustakas Hits 13th Home Run

The Kansas City Royals have been the second worst team in baseball so far, but third baseman Mike Moustakas is still producing for fantasy owners out there. Moose went yard on Friday for his 13th home run and 41st and 42nd RBI. Hitting .271 so far, he should top 30 homers and 90 RBI for […]

Buy or Sell - Undervalued and Overvalued Players for Week 11

It finally feels like summer! As the weather heats up, so do many bats that have lain dormant for the first quarter of the season. Monthly splits are very real for certain players, so you may consider buying into some recent hot streaks, fluky as they may seem. Scouting players who may be undervalued and […]

Johan Camargo Goes Deep In Loss To Dodgers

Atlanta Braves third baseman Johan Camargo continues to show his team why they like him at the hot corner. He went deep on Friday night for his fourth homer since May 29. His bat is heating up with the temperature and if he keeps this up, he's going to be an excellent play at the […]

Adrian Beltre to Start at Third

Texas Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre will start at third base on Friday against Houston Astros starting pitcher Justin Verlander. Beltre, who is making just his second start at third since coming back, will also be hitting cleanup for the home team. Fantasy owners should see this as a good indicator that Beltre should start to […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (6/8/18): MLB DFS Lineups

With the Cubs continuing to host early games on Friday, the PIT/CHC game is off the board for our DraftKings contest. However, we still have a loaded 14-game slate, with a plethora of pitchers and high-powered lineups to choose from. Five games have an over/under of at least nine total runs, including the ARI/COL game […]

Kris Bryant To Hit First Friday

Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant will hit first Friday versus the Pirates. It’s a bit of a bold move by manager Joe Maddon. Maddon is known to shake up the lineup pretty much every day, and it will be interesting to see if this is a one-time deal for Bryant. It'll mean more at-bats […]

Eduardo Escobar Launches 12th Homer

Minnesota Twins infielder Eduardo Escobar continued his power surge at the plate on Thursday. Escobar went 2-for-4 with a homer and two RBI to help down the Chicago White Sox 7-2. Escobar is in the middle of a breakout campaign, batting .286 with 12 homers, 31 runs, and 38 RBI in 56 games. He is […]

Week 11 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 […]

Scott Kingery Drives In Two Runs In Loss

Starting at shortstop and batting third for the Philadelphia Phillies at Wrigley Field against the Chicago Cubs on Thursday afternoon, Scott Kingery picked up just one hit. The hit, however, came at a massively important time in the game for his club. After three Chicago runs in the fifth put the Phillies down three runs, […]

Phillies Pondering Manny Machado Acquisition

While the Philadelphia Phillies were going to seek their options with Baltimore Orioles shortstop Manny Machado this upcoming season when the All-Star infielder becomes a free agent, perhaps they may seek to make the move ahead of time. With Rhys Hoskins currently on the disabled list, the club could use an offensive replacement, and according to […]

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to be Placed on 7-Day DL

Toronto Blue Jays top prospect, third baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr., is heading to the seven-day disabled list after injuring his leg sliding into second base in the fourth inning of Wednesday's game for Double–A New Hampshire. It's a shame for the son of recently inducted Hall of Famer Vladimir Guerrero, as Vlad Jr. was hitting […]

Josh Donaldson “Iffy” For Friday Activation

Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Josh Donaldson (calf) is first eligible to come off the disabled list on Friday, but according to Donaldson himself, he is feeling “kinda iffy” about the chances of that. Donaldson has been out of action since May 28 with a calf injury, and while there hasn’t been any indications there’s been […]
