Max Muncy (1B/3B/OF, LAD) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 7% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Dodgers are starting to pick up steam, and most of that momentum has to do with bench bats playing above expectations. Max Muncy is one of those players, and to be honest, has forced himself into a starting job until he […]
Max Muncy Mashes Two Home Runs Sunday
Los Angeles Dodgers first/third baseman Max Muncy went 2-for-5 with two home runs and four RBI in Sunday's 10-7 win over the Rockies. The 27-year-old now has nine HR on the season to go with a .243/.349/.551 slash line and 23 RBI. Muncy has outperformed his first base partner, Cody Bellinger this season, who has […]
Waiver Wire Watch List - Week 10 Free Agents
It’s hard to believe we’re through two full calendar months of the season, but here we are. The contenders have begun to separate themselves from the pretenders in both real life and fantasy, but with two thirds of the season left to play there’s still time to make up ground. This week’s theme is certainly […]
Adrian Beltre To DH Sunday
Texas Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre will line up for the Rangers as the designated hitter on Sunday. There was talk that Beltre may receive a day off after playing third base on Saturday. Since returning from the disabled list Beltre has two hits in eight at bats, with one RBI and two strikeouts. On […]
Joey Gallo Out Sunday
Texas Rangers outfielder Joey Gallo is out of the lineup on Sunday against the Angels. Gallo can't hit lefties so Shin-Soo Choo is playing in left field, Adrian Beltre at DH, and Isiah Kiner-Falafa at third. Gallo is batting just .205 on the season and remains pretty much just a source of power whenever the […]

Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant and first baseman Anthony Rizzo (rest) are both out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets. The two stars will get a day of rest after a 14-inning marathon game on Saturday. Fantasy owners should take them out of their lineups today.
Yankees-Orioles Series Finale Has Been Postponed
Sweeny Murti of WFAN reports that the series finale between the Yankees and Orioles originally scheduled for Sunday afternoon has been postponed due to inclement weather. The game will be made up as a doubleheader in mid-August. Owners in daily leagues need to swap out any Yankees and Orioles players in their lineup before the […]
The Cut List (Week 10) Time to Let Go?
Welcome to Week 10 of the Cut List. My suggestions from last week were looking good until Eduardo Escobar hit three home runs between Thursday and Friday. That’ll happen occasionally, but I think my suggestions have been sound throughout the year. This week, I take a look at Kevin Pillar, Adam Duvall, Gregory Polanco, and […]

Miguel Andujar Drives In Three In Victory
Resuming their series against the lowly Baltimore Orioles, the New York Yankees once again emerged victorious at Camden Yards on Saturday afternoon. Following a lengthy rain delay, the club scored eight runs to walk away with another victory, putting them 20 games over .500. The offensive start was third baseman Miguel Andujar, who hit a […]
Johan Camargo Clubs Three-Run Homer In Extra-Inning Loss
Atlanta Braves third baseman Johan Camargo has been pretty hot lately. That trend continued on Saturday, with his three-run homer being the only offense his team could muster. Camargo has three homers in his past five games. If he’s locked in and has shaken off his early season rust from missing time from being in […]
Colin Moran Goes Deep On Saturday
Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Colin Moran went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in a loss against the St. Louis Cardinals on Saturday. Moran's blast got his team on the board in the fifth inning and was the only run his team managed against Cardinals starter Luke Weaver. It was the 25-year-old's fifth home run […]
Orioles-Yankees Game Facing Rain Delay Saturday
MLB.com writer Bryan Hoch reports that the Saturday game between the Orioles and the Yankees will be delayed due to the threat of inclement weather. This is not the first time this season the two teams have dealt with rain delays and postponements, so fantasy owners in daily leagues might want to consider swapping out […]
Miguel Sano Out Of Lineup Saturday
Minnesota Twins third baseman Miguel Sano is not in the starting lineup for the Twins on Saturday. Sano returned from a month-long disabled list stint on May 25 and has not had a day off since, so the Twins are likely giving their power-hitting Dominican a breather. Sano was dearly missed by the Twins as […]
Nolan Arenado Homers, OPS Now Over 1.000
Colorado Rockies third baseman Nolan Arenado is rocking it once again. Arenado went deep on Friday night, giving him 12 on the season, and the bomb brought his OPS up over the 1.000 mark once again. Arenado is one of just seven players in the bigs to still have an OPS over a thousand, and […]
Jake Lamb Joins Home Run Party Against Marlins
Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Jake Lamb with a home run and two runs scored in the Diamondbacks 9-1 victory over the Marlins on Friday. Lamb's homer was one of six that Arizona hit on the night, finally showing signs of life at the plate. Lamb has 11 RBI in 16 games this season, and will […]

Welcome back to my hitting streamers column for Week 10, taking a look at hitters to add or stream off the waiver wire for this week's scheduled games. To keep things simple, I pick from players who are 50% owned or less and who play at least seven games in the week. If someone jumps […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (6/2/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice
It’s the first Saturday in June and FanDuel brings us an eight game featured slate tonight. This slate has a pair of elite pitchers in tough matchups, some good pitchers in cake matchups, and another potential Coors Field slugfest. Vegas projects a low scoring slate, as the 10.5 O/U in the Coors Field game is […]
Buy or Sell - Undervalued and Overvalued Players for Week 10
One man's trash is another man's treasure. This is what I tell myself when I'm bidding $6 for Ryan Braun in an Ottoneu league where I need OF help or adding Zack Godley to a pitching staff that has underperformed. These players aren't without warts and could never turn back to top form this season, […]
Matt Duffy Ties Game Against MLB Saves Leader Friday
Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Matt Duffy came up big in the ninth inning Friday versus the Mariners. He was facing the Major League Baseball leader in saves so far in 2018, Edwin Diaz with a runner on third. He would single to drive in the game-tying run. He had three hits during the game […]
Zack Cozart to Have MRI on Forearm
Los Angeles Angels third baseman Zack Cozart is getting an MRI on his strained left forearm. Although he has missed the last three games, he has yet to be placed on the disabled list. He is hopeful he will not need a DL stint, but more will be known after his MRI. Luis Valbuena is […]
Josh Donaldson Headed to 10-Day DL
Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Josh Donaldson (calf) has been placed on the 10-day disabled list. He suffered a calf injury while running the bases during Monday's contest. He was not able to make enough progress over the last few days to avoid a disabled list stint. The team is calling the injury left calf […]
Josh Harrison is Out on Friday
Pittsburgh Pirates infielder/outfielder Josh Harrison (illness) has been scratched from Friday's starting lineup. It sounds like Harrison has some illness, so hopefully this is just a day-to-day type of issue. Adam Frazier will replace Harrison at second base and bat leadoff against the Cardinals.
Ottoneu Waiver Wire Report - RotoBaller Staff League
Ottoneu leagues, available on Fangraphs, are a different beast, and for good reason. Most of the scoring formats are more advanced, there are intense roster requirements and it’s a year-round commitment. The RotoBaller staff's lack of experience with the format was borne out by how poorly many of us drafted, making in-season improvements via the […]

Zack Cozart Still Not In Lineup
Los Angeles Angels third baseman Zack Cozart (forearm) is not back in the lineup on Friday. This will be his third straight absence, although at this point a stint on the DL has not been mentioned. Luis Valbuena will start at third base in his absence, hitting seventh. Another day or two without Cozart and […]
Josh Donaldson To Miss Third Straight Game
Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Josh Donaldson has missed two games due to a calf injury suffered on Monday, and will now make it a third as he’s not feeling well enough to play on Friday. Before, the issue seemed minor and not exceptionally noteworthy. However, Toronto had the day off on Thursday, so the […]
