Rafael Lopez Batting Cleanup Against Nationals

San Diego Padres catcher Rafael Lopez is batting cleanup after going 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI on Saturday. Lopez has only taken part in nine at-bats so far this year after being called up on May 1. Throughout his career, he has been nothing more than a backup catcher, however, if he […]

Carson Kelly Will Start on Monday

St. Louis Cardinals catcher Carson Kelly will be in the starting lineup against the Minnesota Twins on Monday. Kelly was recalled on Sunday after Yadier Molina (groin) landed on the disabled list. Molina is expected to miss about a month of playing time, so Kelly will get plenty of chances to start. Kelly is worth […]

Mike Zunino Providing Power, Little Else

Seattle Mariners catcher Mike Zunino continues to do what he does best: hit home runs and strike out. Zunino hit his fourth home run of season on Saturday, his first since April 27. Since that game in April, however, he has struck out 13 times over his last 22 at-bats. Zunino is hitting only .180 […]

Nicklas Backstrom Questionable For Game 6

Washington Capitals forward Nicklas Backstrom is questionable for Monday's Game 6 matchup against the Pittsburgh Penguins after suffering an upper-body injury on Saturday night.

Robinson Chirinos (C, TEX) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Two-Catcher Leagues OWNED IN: 16% of leagues ANALYSIS: It's not often that you'll see us recommend picking up a player with a strikeout rate north of 40 percent, but the scourge of the two-catcher format makes for strange bedfellows. Chirinos has homered four times in his last nine games, giving him a total […]

In the final minute of the opening period of Game 5, Boston Bruins center David Krejci put Boston on the board with a beautiful one-timer on the power play. The goal was Krejci’s third of the postseason, but just his first of the series. Krejci had a very strong series in the first round, tallying […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (5/7/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

We have a small Monday slate, with a lot of pitchers that haven't been easy to pick on this season. With tight pricing, finding value hitters will be difficult.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (5/7/18): MLB DFS Lineups

We only have seven games on the docket for Monday. Meaning, we’ll have to get creative with some of our decision making, when it comes to building a lineup that we’re happy with on this small slate of games. Fortunately, three games have an over/under of at least nine total runs (MIA/CHC over/under hasn’t been […]

John Hicks Is Detroit's Hottest Hitter

With veteran slugger Miguel Cabrera on the 10-day disabled list, the Detroit Tigers have turned to John Hicks to provide some pop in the batting order. And since the start of May, he has delivered. In 20 May at bats, Hicks is slashing .450/.500/.700. His Sunday performance didn't hurt, as he homered and drove in […]

William Karlsson Ends Brief Points Drought In Game 6 Win

Vegas Golden Knights center William Karlsson was back among the points in Sunday's Game 6 win over the Sharks after failing to register any in the previous two games. The Knights were shutout in Game 4, so it was no surprise that the Swede missed out on points there, but it was bizarre that he […]

Jonathan Marchessault Keeps Up Great Scoring Form In Game 6

Vegas Golden Knights forward Jonathan Marchessault, who put up some dominant numbers against San Jose during the regular season, ran riot against them in the playoffs as well.

Capela once again out dueled Rudy Gobert connecting on 6-for-11 from the floor to record 12 points while hauling down 15 rebounds on the night. Capela also swatted an insane six shots, while racking up two steals with two dimes to […]

Derrick Favors Comes Of The Bench

Utah Jazz power forward/center Derrick Favors was used primarily as a backup to Rudy Gobert in his club's Game 4 loss. Favors was dealing with a left ankle issue leading up to this one and was shifted to the bench. Favors was effective in his limited minutes scoring fours points and recorded a team-high plus-14 […]

Rudy Gobert Notches Another Double-Double In Loss

Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert recorded his second double-double of the series in his club's 13-point loss in Game 4.

Stephen Vogt Suffers Setback In Rehab

Milwaukee Brewers catcher Stephen Vogt (shoulder) suffered a setback in a rehab game with Triple-A Colorado Springs Sky Sox on Saturday. For now, he will return to Milwaukee so the doctors can examine the extent of the injury. Considering Vogt was one week at max away from returning, this is not good. Stay posted for […]

Willson Contreras Leading Off Sunday Night

Chicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras will be in the No. 1 spot Sunday night versus the Cardinals. Contreras has made two starts at the leadoff spot in his career and is 3-for-9 with a home run. Manager Joe Maddon continues to shuffle his lineup on a daily basis and there shouldn’t be too much to […]

Lars Eller Has Another Multipoint Night

Washington Capitals forward Lars Eller scored an empty-net goal and added an assist in last night's 6-3 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins. After setting career highs in goals and points, 18 and 38 respectively, Eller now has three goals and seven points in 11 postseason games. Five of his seven points have come over two […]

Carson Kelly To Take Over Catching Duties For St. Louis

Carson Kelly was called up to the major leagues Saturday night after Yadier Molina caught a foul ball to the groin.

Yadier Molina Hits The DL After Foul Ball To Groin

Yadier Molina took a foul ball to the groin while catching during Saturday's game. He underwent surgery after the game and was put on the 10-day disabled list. He's expected to miss at least four weeks. Molina has had a great season to this point, so only drop him if you don't have room on […]

Derrick Favors is Questionable for Game 4

Utah Jazz forward/center Derrick Favors (ankle) is listed as questionable for Game 4 against the Houston Rockets on Sunday. Favors tweaked his ankle on Friday and did not return in the second half. However, it is believed to be a minor issue, so Favors does plan to play on Sunday. Jae Crowder would see increased […]

Welington Castillo Sits Sunday

Chicago White Sox catcher Welington Castillo (rest) will sit Sunday against the Minnesota Twins. He returned from abdominal pain to play in Saturday's game, and nothing has been reported Sunday to suggest that Castillo suffered a setback during Saturday's game. He should be taken out of fantasy ' lineups.

Buster Posey Will Sit Sunday

San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey will rest Sunday afternoon versus the Atlanta Braves. Posey is having a strong season hitting .304 with a pair of home runs and 14 RBI.
