Todd Frazier Begins Rehab Assignment

We haven’t heard much news lately on the status of New York Mets third baseman Todd Frazier (hamstring),  but here’s a good update: Frazier had a successful debut in his rehab assignment with Triple-A Las Vegas on Thursday. He finished 1-for-3 with an RBI while also playing six innings at third base. After taking batting […]

Matt Chapman Ends Home Run Drought Thursday

Oakland Athletics third baseman Matt Chapman went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 7-3 win over the Rays. The blast was his ninth of the season and was his first HR in 13 games. During that stretch, he hit just .174 with a .240 on-base percentage and a mere .304 slugging percentage. The […]

In preparation for today's freeroll on DraftDaily, below you can find my recommended lineup picks.

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (6/1/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

As we welcome the month of June, hopefully much of the Spring showers are behind us. The rain - and rainouts - have gotten a bit out of hand. Does it sound like I got burned by the Yankees - Orioles rainout? Because I most certainly did. Anywho, beautiful 15 game slate on deck for […]

Fantasy Baseball Assets - May Risers and Fallers

As the second month of the 2018 MLB season finishes, there were some standout performances and some forgettable ones in May. Since we have crossed the quarter-mark for the season, which players can we target in possible trade talks? Do we buy into recent hot streaks or stay patient to see how things play out […]

Week 10 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 […]

Adrian Beltre Marks Return With Two Hits

Texas Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre marked his return from the disabled list Thursday with two hits. Beltre was the Rangers designated hitter in his first game back from injury, and he will need to get used to the role quickly. Initially, the Rangers are going to be careful with Beltre, as he will sit […]

Christian Villanueva Smacks 15th Home Run

San Diego Padres third baseman Christian Villanueva crushed his 15th home run in Thursday's victory against the Miami Marlins. Villanueva popped a two-run dinger in the first inning en route to a 2-for-5 night with two runs and two RBI. He's now second behind Bryce Harper for the National League lead in home runs. Villanueva's […]

Todd Frazier Begins Rehab Assignment Thursday

New York Mets third baseman Todd Frazier (hamstring) will begin his rehab assignment at Triple-A Las Vegas on Thursday. Frazier should be back on the Mets active roster early next week if everything goes as planned. He's been on the disabled list since May 8 due to a hamstring strain. He's worth owning in deeper […]

Gary Sanchez, Miguel Andujar Out of Lineup Thursday

New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez and third baseman Miguel Andujar are not in the lineup on Thursday against the Orioles. There's no indication that this is anything other than a day off for the pair, but owners should make sure to adjust their lineups accordingly Thursday.

Adrian Beltre Activated From DL Thursday

Texas Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre (hamstring) has been activated from the disabled list and is in the starting lineup on Thursday. Beltre will serve as the designated hitter for Thursday's game against the Seattle Mariners. Ryan Rua has been optioned to Triple-A Round Rock to make room for Beltre on the active roster. Beltre […]

Jeimer Candelario Removed From Thursday's Game

Detroit Tigers starting third baseman Jeimer Candelario (wrist) got hit in the wrist by a pitch and was removed from Thursday afternoon's game against the Angels. X-rays came up negative and Candelario escaped with a left hand contusion. Consider him day-to-day. Candelario is slashing an impressive .272/.363/.521 with an .894 OPS thus far this season […]

Zack Cozart Feeling A Little Better

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Zack Cozart (forearm) is feeling a little better, according to manager Mike Scioscia. "He'll continue to be evaluated and we'll see which direction this is going. He feels a little better but not to where he can go out there and swing a bat yet... I hope it's not serious," […]

Rookie Report: Recent MLB Prospect Call-Ups (Week 9)

Juan Soto is running the major leagues. Is that an overstatement? Absolutely. Will that be an overstatement in three years? Probably still yes but there's a shot the answer is no. That's what makes Soto so intriguing to watch. In addition to Soto continuing his high-level play early in his career, we are seeing a […]

Welcome to Week 9 of the 2018 MLB season and a new week of our investigation into the steepest power trenders in baseball, whether those trends be positive or negative.

Miguel Sano Drives In Three On Wednesday

Minnesota Twins third baseman Miguel Sano had a big night at the plate against the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday. Sano went 2-for-5 with a double and three RBI in a losing effort. The veteran slugger missed almost a month of the season with a hamstring strain and is batting just .208 this year, but […]

Johan Camargo Homers For Sole Atlanta Run In Loss

Atlanta Braves third baseman Johan Camargo hit another homer on Wednesday. This time, though, he merely circled the bases and ran into the dugout instead of greeting a mob of frenzied teammates at home plate. Camargo's homer was his fourth, and while it might be an indicator that he's heating up, he's still a ways […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (5/31/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

We have a nine-game slate on tap for this Thursday, where we will likely see Clayton Kershaw back. He has been on the DL for nearly a month and will make his return against the Phillies. The initial worry is that he won't be going deep into games and is, therefore, not worth his salary. In […]

Miguel Rojas Leading Off Again On Wednesday

Miami Marlins third baseman Miguel Rojas is again leading off on Wednesday against Clayton Richard and the Padres. After spending most of his recent games hitting out of the bottom third of the lineup, Rojas went 2-for-4 after being moved to leadoff on Monday and had a day off on Tuesday. The 29-year-old only carries […]

Zack Cozart Scratched with Forearm Tightness

Updating a previous report, Los Angeles Angels third baseman Zack Cozart was scratched from Wednesday's start with left forearm tightness. More will be known after the game. Cozart was originally slated to lead off and play third, but was replaced by Jefry Marte, who is playing first base while Luis Valbuena slides over to third. […]

Jung Ho Kang Playing In Back-To-Back Games

Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Jung Ho Kang is set to play in back-to-back games for the first time since reporting to extended spring training. Per the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Bill Brink, Kang will then get an off day before playing three straight games. After sitting out all of 2017 due to work visa issues stemming from […]

Zack Cozart Scratched Wednesday

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Zack Cozart was scratched from Wednesday's game. No reason has been given. Cozart was originally slated to lead off and play third. Instead, Ian Kinsler will move up to the leadoff spot, with Luis Valbuena sliding over to third and Jefry Marte coming off the bench to play first. We […]

Danny Valencia Placed on the Paternity List

Baltimore Orioles third baseman Danny Valencia was put on the paternity list Wednesday after he was scratched on Tuesday because his wife went into labor. Valencia had been having a solid season after becoming the everyday third baseman, hitting .279 with five homers. Valencia will likely miss a few games, but look for him to […]
