Chicago Cubs shortstop Addison Russell is sitting on Monday for a normal day of rest.

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (5/28/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

We've got a Monday slate thanks to Memorial Day, and that also means a busy early slate. Unfortunately, FanDuel diced up the games, so we don't get the bulk of them in any slate besides the all day slate. That said, these picks apply for the "Early Only" slate because those had the best selection […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (5/28/18): MLB DFS Lineups

Statcast Hitter Risers/Fallers - Hard Hit Rate

Those of you familiar with Fangraphs and their plethora of advanced stats have probably seen and evaluated Hard Hit rate before. Statcast keeps its own set of data based on exit velocity and even measures the number of balls leaving the bat over 95 mph. It's not surprising that the leaderboard is littered with superstars […]

AL-Only Waiver Wire Team of the Week: MLB Week 9

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 […]

Christian Arroyo Reaches Four Times Sunday Versus Baltimore

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Christian Arroyo reached base four times Sunday versus the Orioles. He would go 2-for-2 with two walks. He would score a run and drive in two. He does not have a ton of at-bats this season but in short action, he is batting .412 this season. He is a highly regarded […]

Matt Duffy Sits, Christian Arroyo Starts Sunday

Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Matt Duffy will receive a day off on Sunday. Duffy is hitting .313 with two home runs and two steals in 158 plate appearances this season. However, Duffy has just four hits in his last 21 PAs, so the Rays may be just looking to give him a day off […]

Mike Moustakas Sitting, Ramon Torres And Drew Butera Start Sunday

Kansas City Royals third baseman Mike Moustakas will get a day off on Sunday. Moustakas has been struggling in the last couple of weeks. Since he had a two home run outing on May 8th, he has a .226 batting average with one home run in 73 plate appearances. The Royals will be hoping a […]

Jeimer Candelario Clubs Two Homers Saturday

Detroit Tigers third baseman Jeimer Candelario (wrist) has been back in action for two games now since a stint on the 10-day disabled list with a wrist injury. The young switch-hitter has reached safely in each of his first two games back, but more impressive is the fact that Candelario launched two big-flies Saturday hitting […]

Nicholas Castellanos Snaps Multi-Hit Game Streak

Detroit Tigers right fielder Nicholas Castellanos had a streak of five consecutive multi-hit games heading into Saturday's action, but couldn't keep the streak alive as he went hitless against the White Sox. Still, he's separating himself as an elite fantasy player, especially considering his dual position eligibility (3B/OF). He's now hitting .325 on the year […]

Miguel Andujar (3B, NYY) - Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 41% of leagues ANALYSIS: Yet another week goes by and New York Yankees third baseman Miguel Andujar still remains available in too many leagues.

Jeimer Candelario (3B, DET) - Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 18% of leagues ANALYSIS: Detroit Tigers third baseman Jeimer Candelario was a forgotten man as a utility player on most rosters. He missed time with left wrist tendinitis and returned with a two-homer performance in his second game back. This is a prime example why you do […]

Week 9 Waiver Wire - First Base (1B) and Third Base (3B)

The Corner Store is open! It is week nine and there are still so many good options on the waiver wire. Continue to stay fluid with your lineup and ride the hot hand. Don't get attached. However, make a decision and initiate movement to get that player. Do not let someone else grab them while […]

The Cut List (Week 9): Time to Let Go?

Welcome to Week 9 of the Cut List. Last week’s cut suggestions were some of the best yet if you ask me. I suggested cutting Jay Bruce, Albert Pujols, Rougned Odor, and Rich Hill and they all continued their poor play. Bruce, Pujols, and Odor went a combined 13-for-64 (.203) and Hill was pulled from […]

Miguel Sano Still Hitless Since Returning

Minnesota Twins third baseman Miguel Sano is still looking for his first hit since being activated from the disabled list. Sano, who spent just under a month on the DL with a hamstring strain, went 0-for-2 with two walks on Saturday, making him 0-for-6 with three strikeouts since being activated on Thursday. The slugger has […]

Matt Davidson Scratched Again Saturday

Chicago White Sox third baseman Matt Davidson (back) was scratched again on Saturday for back tightness. Davidson has now been left out of the starting lineup for four straight games due to his back issues. Davidson was originally penciled in the lineup to hit cleanup on Saturday but was pulled after batting practice when his […]

Tyler Saladino Delivers Another Solid Start With Increased Time

Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Tyler Saladino went 2-for-5 with a run and two RBI in the 17-6 win over the New York Mets. The whole Brewers offense was on absolute fire, however, Saladino delivered another solid game and has had a major impact on the Brewers since being acquired from the Chicago White Sox. With the […]

Daniel Robertson (2B/3B/SS, TB) - Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 22% of leagues ANALYSIS: Tampa Bay infielder Daniel Robertson has been a pleasant surprise for fantasy owners so far in 2018. The multi-position 24-year old is batting .262/.413/.443 to go with an impressive  .380 wOBA and 144 wRC+ this season. The most impressive stat may be […]

Nolan Arenado Goes Yard For Ninth Homer

Colorado Rockies third baseman Nolan Arenado is once again having a stellar season, and he smacked his ninth home run of the year on Friday. Arenado continues to be a huge contributor for owners as he’s on pace to top 40 home runs and 100 RBI once again, and his .320 batting average and improved […]

Ronald Torreyes Demoted In Greg Bird Move

As expected, the New York Yankees reinstated first baseman Greg Bird from the 10-day disabled list today after two months battling an ankle injury and surgery. The club needed to send someone down to make room for him, and that’s where the surprise came, as instead of getting rid of Tyler Austin or Neil Walker, […]

Mike Moustakas Hits First Homer In Weeks

Kansas City Royals third baseman Mike Moustakas is still the best hitter on the team, but he’s been in a bit of a power slump recently. He broke out of it with a homer on Friday in Texas. It was his first home run since May 8, and he’s only had four extra-base hits over […]
