Anthon Rendon Starting Today, Batting Second

Washington Nationals third baseman Anthony Rendon is back in the starting lineup after recovering from his toe injury. Rendon will bat second in the order behind Washington's new leadoff monster, Bryce Harper. Rendon has a decent matchup today as he will face off against Phillies right-hander Vince Velasquez (1-4, 5.70 ERA). Rendon started the year […]

Hitter Streamers (Week 6) - Head-to-Head Leagues

Welcome back to my hitting streamers column for Week 6, 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 […]

We've got a busy Saturday on tap for us on this Cinco de Mayo with four slates on DraftKings. All thirty teams are playing today, with the main slate starting at 7 pm eastern. In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball lineup picks for DraftKings on 5/5/18. The lineup picks […]

Eduardo Escobar Launches Two Homers

Minnesota Twins infielder Eduardo Escobar had a big night at the plate against the Chicago White Sox on Friday. Escobar went 3-for-4 with two homers, a double, and three RBI to help power his team to a 6-4 win. Escobar, the team's regular shortstop this season, has been filling in at third base since Miguel […]

Eugenio Suarez Launches Fourth Home Run Friday

Cincinnati Reds third baseman Eugenio Suarez had a big game against the Miami Marlins on Friday, going 1-for-2 with two walks and a three-run homer. Suarez has been seeing the ball well since returning from the disabled list on April 26, posting a .345 average, two homers, five runs, and 13 RBI in 29 at-bats. […]

Buy or Sell - Underowned and Overowned Players for Week 6

It was nice to see Drew Pomeranz toss a quality start (finally) and prove that he's not a carcass of a former Rockies pitcher like Jhoulys Chacin. This, however, is a disclaimer that some of these buy-low/sell-high candidates may not pan out right away. Or ever. I'm still hoping that as soon as Domingo Santana […]

Matt Duffy Scores Run Friday Versus Toronto

Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Matt Duffy scored a run Friday versus the Blue Jays. He would collect three hits in the game. He also collected four hits last Saturday. Duffy's batting average is now .295. In his last healthy season in 2015, he batted .295 with 12 home runs and 12 stolen bases. Duffy's […]

Travis Shaw Has Hit A Wall Offensively

Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Travis Shaw went 1-for-4 in the 6-4 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates. After having a torrid start where it seemed like Shaw couldn't keep his bat off the ball, he has now gone 2-for-25 in his last seven games for a .080 batting average. Similarly, in his last 15 games, he […]

Rafael Devers Is Offensive Darling Of The Night

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers hit two of the team’s four homers against the Rangers Friday. He finished the night 3-for-4 with two runs and two RBI. The 21-year-old is fitting right in with the rest of the explosive offense. On the year, Devers has a .276 average, six homers, 16 runs, and […]

Jeimer Candelario (3B, DET) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 37% of leagues ANALYSIS: Candelario continues to show he is more than just a temporary replacement player. He has the consistent playing time and performance to warrant your attention. In the last week, Candelario is batting .280 with five runs, three doubles, and three RBI. He continues to […]

Zack Cozart Out with Back Tightness

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Zack Cozart (back) is out of the lineup on Friday for the third time in the last four games. He has been dealing with back tightness, which explains the absences. Luis Valbuena is starting at third and batting seventh in his absence. Expect Cozart, who is hitting .222 on the […]

Anthony Rendon Expected Back on Saturday

It looks like the Washington Nationals will be getting their starting third baseman back very soon. Nats' manager Dave Martinez said that Anthony Rendon (toe) will be activated off of the disabled list on Saturday as long as he has no setbacks during Friday's rehab game with Potomac. The slugger has missed the last 14 […]

Anthony Rendon Likely To Be Activated Saturday

Washington Nationals third baseman Anthony Rendon (toe) is likely to be activated Saturday as long as his rehab start with the Potomac Nationals goes well. Rendon is a key component in a potent Nationals offense which ranks second in the NL and seventh overall in runs scored. Weekly leaguers will need to plan on having […]

Giovanny Urshela Designated for Assignment on Friday

Cleveland Indians infielder Giovanny Urshela was designated for assignment on Friday. The 26-year-old utility infielder made appearances at first, second, third, and shortstop last season. He was expected to make the team out of Spring Training, but a hamstring injury kept him off the Opening Day roster. He was hitting well in Triple-A, slashing .324/.405/.432, […]

Nick Senzel Dealt With Dizziness On Thursday Evening

Cincinnati Reds top prospect Nick Senzel wasn't feeling good and experienced some dizziness on Thursday evening, according to reports. This is especially of note because Senzel had his 2017 season cut short due to vertigo. The team plans to monitor Senzel closely over the upcoming few days and see how he progresses. Senzel has appeared […]

DraftDaily Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (5/4/18): MLB DFS Lineups

If you've never played on Draft Daily before, it is fairly similar to the other sites, but you tend to lose more points. Points are taken away for strikeouts and home runs allowed, but you also earn points for sacrifice flies. Before creating a lineup, make sure you look over the scoring system. In this […]

Jose Ramirez Drives in Three Runs in Game 2 of Thursday's Doubleheader

Cleveland Indians infielder Jose Ramirez finished Game 2 of Thursday's doubleheader 3-for-5 with a home run and three RBI. Ramirez missed Wednesday's game due to soreness in his groin and hip, but he looked just fine on Thursday. After starting the season unable to get a hit if his life depended on it, Ramirez has […]

Nicholas Castellanos Knocks Three Hits In Loss

Detroit Tigers right fielder Nicholas Castellanos had three hits, one of which was a homer, as the Tigers fell to the Royals on Thursday. The young slugger launched a solo shot off Eric Skoglund, his third dinger of the year. He added another RBI later for good measure, bringing his season total to 20. He's […]

Five-Hit Game For Yangervis Solarte

Toronto Blue Jays infielder Yangervis Solarte just will not stop hitting. In the first game of a doubleheader against the Cleveland Indians on Thursday, Solarte finished 5-for-6 with a home run, a double, two runs scored, six RBI and a walk. He didn’t pick up five hits in the second game of the twin bill […]

Jose Bautista To Be In Braves Lineup On Friday

Joey Bats is back in baseball, everyone. Atlanta Braves third baseman Jose Bautista is being called up from Triple-A Gwinnett. If he's able to regain some of his form, he could make this Braves lineup even more potent. Wait and see how he does first, but he should be hyped to try to give the […]

Josh Donaldson Dominates In Return

Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Josh Donaldson returned from the disabled list on Thursday, and what a return it was. In the first game of a doubleheader against the Cleveland Indians, Donaldson finished 3-for-7 with a home run, two doubles, three runs scored, and three RBI. Perhaps even more encouraging was that he played in […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (5/4/18): MLB DFS Lineups

It is a full 15-game slate on Friday with seven games boasting an over/under of at least nine total runs. The CLE/NYY matchup leads the way with ten total projected runs and New York is the strong favorite. More on them much later (Hint: it isn’t good for Josh Tomlin). Speaking of heavy favorites, only […]

Week 6 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 Takes Batting Practice on Thursday

Texas Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre (hamstring) took batting practice on Thursday. He also took grounders with teammate Elvis Andrus (elbow), but the Rangers have not given a timetable for Beltre's return. Isiah Kiner-Falefa has been playing third base during Beltre's absence. Fantasy owners should hold onto Beltre for right now.

Zack Cozart to Sit Again on Thursday

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Zack Cozart is out of the lineup on Thursday, his second time in three days not starting. Luis Valbuena replaces him at third base and will bat seventh. Cozart is hitting .222 with three home runs and 11 RBI and may be losing playing time to Valbuena against right-handers. Owners […]
