Matt Chapman Hitting Eighth Again Tuesday

Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Matt Chapman is hitting out of the eight-hole for the third time in his last four games for Tuesday's Game 1 of the Wild Card round versus the Minnesota Twins and right-hander Pablo Lopez. Two of Chapman's final three regular-season starts came out of the eight-hole, the only two times […]

Royce Lewis Hitting Third In Return To Twins Lineup

Minnesota Twins infielder Royce Lewis (hamstring) was included on the team's roster for the wild-card series and is serving as the designated hitter and batting third on Tuesday against Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Kevin Gausman. Lewis hasn't played since Sept. 19 due to a mild left-hamstring strain and isn't quite 100 percent, but he was […]

Ehire Adrianza Enters Free Agency

Atlanta Braves infielder/outfielder Ehire Adrianza elected free agency on Monday after clearing waivers and being removed from the team's 40-man roster last week. Because of elbow and shoulder injuries, Adrianza missed most of the 2023 season and managed to play in only five games for Atlanta, going hitless in 11 plate appearances with a walk […]

Royce Lewis, Carlos Correa Expected To Be Ready For Wild-Card Series

Minnesota Twins infielder Royce Lewis (hamstring) and shortstop Carlos Correa (foot) are both expected to be on the team's 26-man roster for the wild-card series against the Toronto Blue Jays, which begins on Tuesday. Both players have been out of the lineup for the better part of two weeks, Lewis with a Grade 1 left-hamstring […]

Royce Lewis Unsure If He'll Be Ready For Wild-Card Series

Minnesota Twins infielder Royce Lewis (hamstring) is unsure of whether he'll be ready for the start of the wild-card series on Tuesday against the Toronto Blue Jays. He said he still has not run at 100 percent. Lewis has improved a bit but still hasn't had a breakthrough and still needs to see how he […]

Brandon Drury Finishes Season On A High Note

Los Angeles Angels infielder Brandon Drury finished his 2023 campaign on a high note on Sunday by clubbing two home runs in the 7-3 win over the visiting Oakland Athletics. Drury finished the game 3-for-4 with three RBI and three runs scored. Drury missed seven weeks in the middle of the season with an injury, […]

Welcome back RotoBallers to the October update of our MLB team's dynasty fantasy baseball prospects rankings for the 2023 season. The 2023 regular season is done in the majors and minors, but there is still baseball of interest, with MLB playoff action and Arizona Fall League action to pique dynasty owners' interest. We will revisit […]

Matt Vierling Collects Three Hits In Tigers Win

On Sunday in the final game of the regular season, Detroit Tigers third baseman Matt Vierling went 3-for-4, which included hitting a home run and driving in two runs. Detroit knocked off the Guardians 5-2. In the third inning, Vierling smacked a two-out double off Lucas Giolito. Then, in the fifth inning, Vierling extended the […]

Yandy Diaz Resting On Sunday

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Yandy Diaz is not in the starting lineup on Sunday against the Toronto Blue Jays. The 32-year-old has been in and out of the lineup over the last handful of games due to hamstring tightness, so it would make sense that Tampa wants to rest him with the playoffs around the […]

Ke'Bryan Hayes Not In The Starting Lineup On Sunday Against Miami

Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes is absent from the starting lineup for Sunday's season finale against the Miami Marlins. In all likelihood, Hayes will finish the 2023 season with a .272/.310/.452 batting line to go along with 15 home runs, 63 RBI, and 10 stolen bases across 489 at-bats (123 games). The 15 jacks […]

Ryan McMahon To Sit Out On Saturday

Colorado Rockies third baseman Ryan McMahon is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Minnesota Twins. The 28-year-old will get a breather here, so his absence doesn't appear to be injured related. Alan Trejo will cover third base and bat eighth versus right-hander Emilio Pagan on Saturday. Fantasy managers should adjust their […]

Osleivis Basabe Not In The Lineup On Saturday

Tampa Bay Rays rookie infielder Osleivis Basabe (shoulder) is not in the starting lineup on Saturday against the Toronto Blue Jays. Basabe exited Friday's contest early after injuring his shoulder while diving for a ball at third base.

Osleivis Basabe Exits Early On Friday

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Osleivis Basabe (shoulder) left Friday's loss to the Toronto Blue Jays early after suffering a shoulder injury while diving for a ball on defense. Rays manager Kevin Cash told reporters after the game that the 23-year-old prospect is sore and will need to be further evaluated. Basabe is slashing .212/.272/.306 with […]

Ramon Urias Scratched From Friday's Lineup

Baltimore Orioles infielder Ramon Urias (illness) has been scratched from Friday's starting lineup versus the Boston Red Sox. Both Urias and catcher Adley Rutschman will hit the bench with an illness on Friday. Possibly, the two of them partied too hard after clinching the AL East division on Thursday. Regardless, it sounds like a minor […]

Phillies-Mets Postponed On Friday

The game between the Philadelphia Phillies and New York Mets on Friday has been postponed because of rain. The two teams will play a single-admission doubleheader on Saturday. Right-hander Taijuan Walker was scheduled to take the mound for the Phillies on Friday and be opposed by Mets right-hander Tylor Megill, but they will most likely […]

Justin Turner Getting A Breather Thursday

Boston Red Sox infielder/designated hitter Justin Turner is taking the day off on Thursday against the Baltimore Orioles. Turner will take a seat in Baltimore after starting each of the team's last seven games. Masataka Yoshida is serving as the designated hitter and batting third, while Bobby Dalbec is at first base and hitting in […]

Garrett Mitchell Reinstated, Brian Anderson DFA'd

The Milwaukee Brewers reinstated outfielder Garrett Mitchell (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list on Thursday and designated infielder/outfielder Brian Anderson for assignment in a corresponding move. Mitchell is starting in center field and batting ninth on Thursday against St. Louis Cardinals right-hander Dakota Hudson. Mitchell has been out since April 18 due to a shoulder […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (9/28/23): Today's Top MLB DFS Lineups

Royce Lewis, Byron Buxton Take Part In Sim Game

Minnesota Twins infielder Royce Lewis (hamstring) and outfielder/designated hitter Byron Buxton (knee) took part in simulated game action at Target Field on Wednesday. Lewis hit a home run. Neither Lewis nor Buxton are going to help fantasy managers from here on out, but the Twins could get them both back for the playoffs. Lewis suffered […]

Christopher Morel Sitting Out On Wednesday

Chicago Cubs infielder Christopher Morel is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Braves. The 24-year-old will hit the bench for what appears to be a routine rest day. Morel is in the middle of a 3-for-26 slump at the plate, so it's not shocking to see the Cubs giving him […]

Gabriel Arias Goes On Injured List With Fractured Wrist

The Cleveland Guardians placed third baseman Gabriel Arias (wrist) on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday with a fractured right wrist and recalled shortstop Brayan Rocchio from Triple-A Columbus in a corresponding move. Arias injured his wrist in Tuesday's game against the Cincinnati Reds and will now miss the rest of the 2023 regular season. […]

Rafael Devers On The Bench Wednesday

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers is not in the starting lineup Wednesday versus the Tampa Bay Rays and right-hander Tyler Glasnow. The all-world third baseman has been in a funk of late, recording just a pair of singles and two runs scored to account for all of his damage over his last six […]
