Miguel Andujar Crushes Grand Slam To Put Yankees Ahead

The New York Yankees and Toronto Blue Jays matched zeros through the first five innings of Tuesday night’s game at the Rogers Centre. In the sixth, however, Yankees starter CC Sabathia allowed the game’s first run. His offense quickly picked him up with a strong seventh inning, however. After a single, a hit batter and […]

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

We have plenty of games today, but it is broken into two slates. The early slate is significantly smaller, featuring only five games. The later slate is much larger with 10 games, and that is the slate we are going to focus on here. In this article, I will be providing you with my daily […]

Jeimer Candelario Pulled From Game After Injuring Hand

Detroit Tigers third baseman Jeimer Candelario took a scorcher off of his throwing hand that was hit by Red Sox outfielder J.D. Martinez on Tuesday. The ground ball came off of the bat at 104.4 mph, and Candelario was immediately pulled from the game following the injury. Candelario currently has a .270 batting average with […]

Alex Bregman Hitting .213 Against Left-Handed Pitching

Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman and Co. find themselves in second place for the first time this season heading into Tuesday's night action against the division-leading Mariners. Bregman will face left-hander James Paxton in the opener, and he has struggled to this point against lefties. He is slashing only .213/.333/.377 in 61 at-bats against […]

J.P. Crawford Could Return Soon

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop J.P. Crawford (forearm) has moved up from High-A Clearwater to Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Crawford has been out since April 29 with a right forearm strain. He's not hitting well during his rehab games in High-A, so the team wants to see more from him before he rejoins the Phillies. Crawford has struggled […]

Adrian Beltre The Designated Hitter Again Tuesday

Texas Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre will start at designated hitter for the Texas Rangers once again on Tuesday. This is the second game in a row that Beltre will serve as the DH and his third straight game in the lineup. The Rangers are taking advantage of their day off Monday to keep Beltre […]

Justin Turner is Out of Tuesday's Lineup

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner (wrist) is out of the starting lineup against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday. He is getting treatment on his sore left wrist. Turner is expected to return to the lineup on Wednesday. He should remain owned in just about every fantasy league.

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

Major League Baseball decided to do a pretty imbalanced Wednesday split of day game and night games. As such, the Early Only slate is pretty weak, and the Main looks attractive (well, minus the dropoff of tonight as compared to last night - more on that later). As such, this article will concentrate on the […]

Todd Frazier Back In The Lineup

This news isn’t surprising considering the New York Mets wouldn’t have activated him from the disabled list if he weren’t ready, but it’s of course worth noting that third baseman Todd Frazier is back in the lineup against the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday for the series opener. Frazier was activated off the disabled list earlier […]

Greg Garcia Placed on Paternity Leave

St. Louis Cardinals infielder Greg Garcia was placed on the paternity leave list on Tuesday. He is expected back in time for the weekend series against the Reds in Cincinnati. Garcia has continued the role he's had for a while now as a versatile utility infielder for the Cardinals. He's hitting .254/.325/.388 so far this […]

Jose Reyes Safe On Mets Roster Despite Struggles

With the New York Mets activating both reliever Anthony Swarzak and third baseman Todd Frazier on Tuesday, a common thought had been the end was near for infielder Jose Reyes. However, that was not to be, as the team designated reliever Buddy Baumann for assignment and demoted reliever Gerson Bautista. It’s a curious decision by the […]

Mets Officially Activate Todd Frazier, Anthony Swarzak

We told you earlier that the New York Mets were expected to activate third baseman Todd Frazier (hamstring) and reliever Anthony Swarzak (oblique) on Tuesday, and now it’s official. Both will be active and available for Tuesday night’s series opener against the Baltimore Orioles. Frazier has been out for roughly a month due to a left hamstring […]

Todd Frazier Expected To Be Activated Tuesday

For both fantasy owners and the New York Mets, some reinforcements are on the way. Third baseman Todd Frazier (hamstring) is expected to be activated prior to Tuesday night’s game against the Baltimore Orioles. Frazier has been out since early May with a strained left hamstring and has looked good in his short rehab stint thus […]

NL-Only Waiver Wire Team of the Week: MLB Week 10

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 […]

Statcast Hitter Risers/Fallers - Launch Angle (Week 10)

Besides being a fancy analytics term that baseball broadcasters can spit out on a Sunday afternoon, launch angle plays a big part in determining how other advanced metrics play out, such as HR/FB, FB/LD, and Hard%. Launch angle doesn't dictate how good a player is hitting, but is meant to be more descriptive of the […]

Red Sox Select Triston Casas 26th Overall

The Boston Red Sox selected American Heritage High School third baseman Triston Casas with the 26th overall pick in the 2018 MLB draft on Monday. Casas' calling card is his power, and he probably won't stick at third base. In order for Casas to rise quickly through the minors leagues and eventually make an impact […]

Nolan Gorman Selected 19th Overall By Cardinals

The St. Louis Cardinals have selected third baseman Nolan Gorman 19th overall in the MLB amateur draft. Gorman is a left-handed hitting third baseman coming right out of high school and is said to have some of the best raw power in the draft. He won the high school home run derby at the Under […]

Jordan Groshans Selected 12th Overall By Blue Jays

With the 12th overall pick in the 2018 MLB Amateur draft, the Toronto Blue Jays selected 18-year-old third baseman Jordan Groshans out of Magnolia High School as a senior. Standing at 6-foot-4 and 190 pounds, Groshans looks to be a balance between good defense and good power. On the scouting grades, Groshans ranks at a […]

Reds Select Jonathan India Fifth Overall

The Cincinnati Reds selected third baseman Jonathan India out of Florida with the fifth pick in the MLB amateur draft. India has drawn comparisons to Josh Donaldson and Alex Bregman due to his combination of athleticism and power. India is strong and possesses multi-positional versatility but will most likely settle in at third base in […]

Alec Bohm Selected Third Overall by Phillies

The Philadelphia Phillies have selected Alec Bohm with the third overall pick in the MLB amateur draft out of Wichita State University. Bohm is either a third baseman or first baseman and has some of the best power in the draft. At 6-foot-5 and 240 pounds, there are questions about whether he can play third […]

Kyle Seager Hitting .209 Against Right-Handers This Season

Seattle Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager is hitting only .223 this season and has really struggled against right-handed pitching. The left-handed hitting slugger is slashing only .209/.262/.418 against righties through 153 at-bats and is not doing the type of damage that he has enjoyed in the past. He still has decent power numbers (nine home […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (6/4/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

We've got an exceptionally small Monday slate, and there are really no "safe" pitching options. That means there is plenty of cash to go around to use on batters. The Yankees figure to be the stack of the day, but Atlanta and Arizona are also intriguing options to consider, even if the ballpark isn't the […]

Eugenio Suarez Goes Deep Sunday

Cincinnati Reds third baseman Eugenio Suarez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run against the San Diego Padres on Sunday. The homer gives Suarez 11 on the season, along with a .297 average, .967 OPS, 26 runs, and 44 RBI. It has been a great first two months of the season for Suarez, who is […]
