Asdrubal Cabrera Keeps Driving Mets Offense
The New York Mets offense as a whole isn’t doing much, but don’t tell that to infielder Asdrubal Cabrera. Cabrera caught fire to start 2018 and while he slowed down a bit, the man is still producing nonetheless. In a close 2-0 victory over the Miami Marlins on Monday, Cabrera finished 2-for-4 with a double […]

Matt Carpenter Seems to Have Remembered How to Play Baseball
St. Louis Cardinals infielder Matt Carpenter started out the season as one of the worst offensive players in baseball. He got an entire weekend off to work on his swing and was later even pinch hit for in a critical late-game situation. Something seems to have clicked with the veteran, though, as he's now recorded […]
Travis Shaw Hits 11th Home Run Of 2018
Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Travis Shaw went 1-for-3 with a home run, two RBI and one run in the 4-2 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks. Shaw has two home runs in his last seven games, along with six home runs in the month of May with still a lot more games to play. On the […]

St. Louis Cardinals infielder Greg Garcia was removed from Monday's game due to tightness in his lower back. Garcia took an awkward swing while at bat and was checked on by trainers, but he was allowed to remain in the game. He ended up hitting a single in the same at-bat but was later removed […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (5/22/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice
I'll be filling in for Justin on this full Tuesday main slate. Chris Sale is the top target at pitcher in cash games, priced $300 below Gerrit Cole and facing a strikeout prone Rays lineup. That will require some punt/low-priced bats to fill in lineups after, several of which will be highlighted in today's articles. […]

Kyle Seager Slashing .216/.301/.459 Over Last 74 At-Bats
Seattle Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager has seen his batting average take a nose dive this month despite a slugging percentage of .459 over his last 74 at-bats. Of his 16 hits during that span, six have been doubles and four have gone over the fence. But he's seen his fair share of bad luck […]
Jeimer Candelario Needs A Few More Rehab Games
Detroit Tigers third baseman Jeimer Candelario (wrist) might need a few more rehab games at Triple-A, according to manager Ron Gardenhire.

However, he is going to attempt to play through the issue […]
Adrian Beltre is Out A Few More Weeks
Texas Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre (hamstring) is making progress but is still a few weeks away from returning, according to general manager Jon Daniels.

According to Mike Puma of the New York Post, the New York Mets are “showing interest” in free-agent outfielder/third baseman Jose Bautista. The 37-year-old Bautista was of course just released by the Atlanta Braves on Saturday after posting a completely unproductive .143/.250/.343 slash line. He did have two home runs across 40 plate appearances, but […]

New York Mets third baseman Todd Frazier (hamstring) is stepping up his rehab and is hitting for the first time in five to six days on Monday. Frazier has been on the disabled list for about two weeks due to a left hamstring strain. As of Saturday, he said he’s still feeling it when he […]
Hunter Dozier Leads Offense On Sunday
Kansas City Royals first/third baseman Hunter Dozier smacked a pair of hits against the Yankees on Sunday, trying his best to carry the offense. Unfortunately, it was not enough to make up for a dismal pitching performance by the KC staff. Dozier has been acceptable as a Lucas Duda replacement so far, but he hasn’t […]
Luis Guillorme Starting At Third Base On Monday
New York Mets infielder Luis Guillorme is in the lineup and starting at third base against the Miami Marlins. It will mark the third start of Guillorme’s Major League career. Normally a second baseman, Guillorme is endearing himself to the Mets by demonstrating the flexibility to play multiple positions. Regarded as one if, if not […]
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (5/21/18): MLB DFS Lineups
It's a short nine-game slate on Monday. Two games have an over/under of at least nine total runs. Five teams are heavy favorites (-185): STL, MIN, NYY, LAD, and WSH. However, while you would think pitching would be loaded, the player pool isn't elite. On a positive note, weather shouldn't be an issue for Monday. […]

As usual with Monday's, we have a smaller slate on FanDuel tonight. The pitching options are rather slim given some tough matchups, but there are several stacking options availableas a result.
