Orioles-Yankees Game Facing Rain Delay Saturday

MLB.com writer Bryan Hoch reports that the Saturday game between the Orioles and the Yankees will be delayed due to the threat of inclement weather. This is not the first time this season the two teams have dealt with rain delays and postponements, so fantasy owners in daily leagues might want to consider swapping out […]

Hitter Streamers (Week 10) - Head-to-Head Leagues

Welcome back to my hitting streamers column for Week 10, 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 […]

Lars Eller Breaks Out With Game-High Three Points

Washington Capitals center Lars Eller was in on all three of the Caps’ goals in the 3-2 Game 2 win on Wednesday. With Evgeny Kuznetsov’s early exit from the game, Eller was called upon to step up and help fill the role of top-six forward. Needless to say, Eller responded very well, scoring the Caps’ […]

Evgeny Kuznetsov Leaves Game 2 After High Hit

Washington Capitals standout Evgeny Kuznetsov was forced from Game 2 after receiving a hit from Vegas’ Brayden McNabb. Kuznetsov did not return, and after the game was listed as day-to-day with an upper body injury. His absence from the lineup will surely be felt by the Caps, as he has been their leading scorer to […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (6/2/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

It’s the first Saturday in June and FanDuel brings us an eight game featured slate tonight. This slate has a pair of elite pitchers in tough matchups, some good pitchers in cake matchups, and another potential Coors Field slugfest. Vegas projects a low scoring slate, as the 10.5 O/U in the Coors Field game is […]

Austin Romine Stays Red-Hot In Victory

While rarely getting full games considering he’s the backup catcher, Austin Romine is currently on a tear for the New York Yankees. The 29-year-old rode a nine-game hitting streak into Friday’s game against the Baltimore Orioles, making his regular start with Sonny Gray on the mound. He would record two hits from the eight spot […]

Yadier Molina Expected to Return on Tuesday

St. Louis Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina (groin) is expected to rejoin the team on Tuesday. He expects to catch half of Saturday's game in Double-A Springfield then play again on Sunday. He'll return to catch Tuesday's game as starting pitcher Carlos Martinez (lat) returns to make the start on the mound.

Brian McCann Shut Down For A Few Days

Houston Astros catcher Brian McCann (knee) has been shut down after having a shot and getting his right knee drained. He is eligible to come off the disabled list June 8, but could be sidelined for longer than that. Max Stassi has been playing well as the Astros starting catcher. McCann is probably still worth […]

Ottoneu Waiver Wire Report - RotoBaller Staff League

Ottoneu leagues, available on Fangraphs, are a different beast, and for good reason. Most of the scoring formats are more advanced, there are intense roster requirements and it’s a year-round commitment. The RotoBaller staff's lack of experience with the format was borne out by how poorly many of us drafted, making in-season improvements via the […]

Kevin Plawecki Will Play First Base On Saturday

On Saturday against the Chicago Cubs, New York Mets catcher Kevin Plawecki will get a taste at a somewhat unfamiliar position -- first base. Apparently the reasoning is to try and pack more of a punch in their lineup against left-handed pitchers, and the Cubbies will be starting southpaw Mike Montgomery. The move makes some degree […]

Chris Gimenez Starting At Catcher Friday

Chicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras will rest Friday evening versus the Mets. It’s just a maintenance day for Contreras, who will be replaced by Chris Gimenez. Gimenez will bat in the No. 8 spot Friday and can be avoided in all formats.

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 […]

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 […]

Kevin Love Plays Excellent In Return

Cleveland Cavaliers power forward/center Kevin Love put up a solid line as he returned from his injury, but his club still managed to lose Game 1. Love connected on 9-for-20 from the floor but managed to convert on just 1-for-8 from three to finish with 21 points. Love had a game-high 13 rebounds but did […]

Larry Nance Jr. Provides Excellent Line Off The Bench

Cleveland Cavaliers power forward/center Larry Nance Jr. was excellent off the bench in 19 minutes as his club lost Game 1. Nance hauled down 11 rebounds and was an efficient 4-for-6 from the floor for nine points while getting a steal as well. Nance provided a great boost for his club and led all Cavs […]

Kevon Looney Solid In Game 1

Golden State Warriors power forward/center Kevon Looney provided a decent line as his club stole the Game 1 win. Looney started at the center spot and provided eight points on 4-for-5 shooting and was able to haul down four rebounds. Looney was a team-worst minus-10 in the game, which may have been why JaVale McGee […]

Draymond Green Flirts With Triple-Double In Win

Golden State Warriors power forward/center Draymond Green filled the stat sheet and nearly recorded a triple-double in Game 1. Green did his damage all over the floor, scoring 13 points on 5-for-9 from the floor with 11 rebounds and nine assists and just two turnovers. Green also added five steals with two blocks and is […]

Wilson Ramos Main Rays Offensive Star Thursday Versus Oakland

Tampa Bay Rays catcher Wilson Ramos was involved in all three runs they scored Thursday versus the Athletics. He drove in two runs and then scored the other in the 7-3 loss. Ramos leads all catchers in the majors with 52 hits this season. He now has seven home runs and 28 RBI to go […]

Welcome back for another week of advice for points league waiver wire moves. This segment will include waiver wire adds, drops, and streaming pitchers for the upcoming week. This article will be geared specifically toward points leagues. Every points league is different, so keep that in mind. Walks and extra base hits are more valuable, […]

Jorge Alfaro Leads Offense In Tight Victory

With runs at a premium on Thursday night in Los Angeles, the Philadelphia Phillies and Dodgers played a tight, low-scoring affair. While Aaron Nola allowed one run, the road club managed two, prevailing. The first run of the game came in the second inning, as starting catcher Jorge Alfaro singled in Maikel Franco. After the […]

Wil Myers, Austin Hedges Making Progress

San Diego Padres outfielder Wil Myers (oblique) and catcher Austin Hedges (elbow) are making progress on their road to health. Myers, out since April 29 with an oblique strain, took dry swings on Thursday. He was cleared for baseball activities on Tuesday and is likely a couple weeks away from returning. Hedges has been dealing […]

Reds Acquire Curt Casali From Tampa Bay

On Thursday, the Cincinnati Reds acquired catcher Curt Casali from the Tampa Bay Rays for cash considerations. In a corresponding move, they optioned backup catcher Tony Cruz to Triple-A Louisville. Casali has spent all of the 2018 season with Tampa's Triple-A affiliate but he will report to the Reds as their primary backup to starter […]

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.

Jose Briceno Has Two Home Runs in Three Big League Games

Los Angeles Angels backup catcher Jose Briceno homered again on Wednesday, giving him two home runs through his first three big league games. He is 4-for-9 with two homers, three RBI and three runs scored in his brief big league career. Serving as a backup to workhorse Martin Maldonado, Briceno is not expected to have […]

Yadier Molina to Start a Rehab Assignment on Saturday

St. Louis Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina (groin) is scheduled to start a minor league rehab assignment with the Double-A Springfield Cardinals on Saturday. He'll likely only require a game or two before returning to the Cardinals lineup, assuming everything goes well. Molina hasn't played since he was hit by a foul tip on May 5, […]
