DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (6/24/23): Today's Top MLB DFS Lineups

We have a busy Saturday in the works with most of it during the day. Are they letting the college boys have their fun in Omaha, or was this just MLB wanting to get people out in the summer sun? Whatever the case, we're here for it! Well...except for the Cubs and Cardinals in London. […]

Elias Diaz Launches A Grand Slam In Rockies Win

Colorado Rockies catcher Elias Diaz went 3-for-5 in a 7-4 win over the Los Angeles Angels Friday. His three hits included a single, a double and a grand slam that he crushed in the eighth inning off of Angels relief pitcher Chris Devenski. The 32-year-old is enjoying a remarkable season for the Rockies and fantasy […]

Salvador Perez Exits Friday's Game Versus Rays

Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez (hamstring) exited Friday's matchup against Tampa with a cramp. He was having a solid outing before going down, amassing one run, two RBI, and one homer in three at-bats. The 33-year-old will likely undergo further testing, so he should be considered day-to-day for now.

Bo Naylor To Miss Second Straight Game

Cleveland Guardians catcher Bo Naylor will remain out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. The 23-year-old has missed back-to-back days, but doesn't appear to be dealing with an injury. It's likely just the organization trying to play matchups, so fantasy managers shouldn't panic yet. Cam Gallagher will start behind the […]

Jorge Alfaro Absent On Friday

Colorado Rockies catcher Jorge Alfaro is absent from the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. The right-handed slugger has served as the designated hitter in four of the last five games. This appears to be a routine rest day for the 30-year-old catcher. Elias Diaz will be behind the plate and […]

P.J. Washington Deal Remains A Priority

According to Hornets president of basketball operations/general manager Mitch Kupchak, re-signing forward/center P.J. Washington remains a priority. In 73 games last season, the 24-year-old averaged a career-high 15.7 points along with 4.9 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and 1.1 blocks. He's expected to draw plenty of interest as a restricted free agent. However, Washington's fantasy value may […]

Keibert Ruiz Slaps Three Hits In Losing Effort

Washington Nationals catcher Keibert Ruiz went 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored in the team's 5-3 loss against the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks on Thursday. Ruiz has now picked up multiple hits in three of his last six games, although he's gone hitless in the other three contests. He's hitting .250 (13-for-52) with a […]

Victor Wembanyama Taken No. 1 Overall In 2023 NBA Draft

The Spurs selected center Victor Wembanyama with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft. There wasn't any doubt about which direction the Spurs were heading on Thursday night, especially since the 19-year-old arguably had the most pre-draft hype since LeBron James. He averaged 21.6 points, 10.4 rebounds, and 3.0 blocks in 34 […]

Cavaliers Declining Trades For Jarrett Allen

Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen is reportedly not on the trade block, but that hasn't stopped teams from calling and attempting to acquire the big man. The organization has said they have no plans of making big moves after being knocked out in the first-round of the postseason. It sounds like the Cavs have listened […]

Sean Murphy Won't Start Friday

Atlanta Braves catcher Sean Murphy (hamstring) won't catch on Friday in the series opener against the Cincinnati Reds, but he will be available to pinch hit like he did in the series finale against the Philadelphia Phillies on Thursday. Murphy is getting closer to catching again, but he's not quite there yet. In his pinch-hit […]

MJ Melendez Returns To The Starting Lineup Thursday

Kansas City Royals outfielder/catcher MJ Melendez is back in the starting lineup Thursday against the Tampa Bay Rays and left-hander Shane McClanahan. The 24-year-old got the afternoon off against another left-hander in the Tigers' Matthew Boyd on Wednesday and has a tough task ahead of him Thursday against one of the very best southpaws in […]

Sean Murphy Could Return This Weekend

Atlanta Braves catcher Sean Murphy (hamstring) could return to the lineup at some point this weekend against the Cincinnati Reds, but he remains out for the series finale against the division-rival Philadelphia Phillies on Thursday. Travis d'Arnaud is behind the plate again and batting sixth against Phillies right-hander Aaron Nola. If Murphy, who hasn't played […]

Reese McGuire Lands On Injured List

The Boston Red Sox placed catcher Reese McGuire (oblique) on the 10-day injured list on Thursday with a right-oblique strain that he suffered on Wednesday night against the Minnesota Twins. In corresponding moves, the team put outfielder Alex Verdugo on the bereavement list, added pitcher Brandon Walter and catcher Caleb Hamilton and moved Yu Chang […]

Mike Muscala Shipped To Washington

Center Mike Muscala was traded to the Washington Wizards on Wednesday by the Boston Celtics in a three-team deal. He'll be packing his bags for a second time in mere months after being a trade deadline acquisition from Oklahoma City. Muscala suited up in 20 games for the Celtics, averaging 5.9 points and 3.4 rebounds, […]

Kristaps Porzingis Traded To Boston

The Boston Celtics are set to officially acquire Kristaps Porzingis in a three-way trade involving the Washington Wizards and Memphis Grizzlies. The big move initially involved the Clippers, but the deal fell apart and the Celtics quickly found another team to work with Wednesday, as they were desperate to get the trade done before the […]

Logan O'Hoppe Doing Light Throwing

Los Angeles Angels rookie catcher Logan O'Hoppe (shoulder) started doing some very light throwing on Wednesday after having surgery on his non-throwing shoulder. However, he's still not catching the throws back with his left arm. O'Hoppe has a long ways to go in his recovery, but the 23-year-old is still holding out hopes that he […]

Yasmani Grandal Dealing With Knee Soreness

Chicago White Sox catcher Yasmani Grandal (knee) was scratched from Wednesday night's lineup against the Texas Rangers due to right-knee soreness. He is considered day-to-day. Seby Zavala drew the start behind the dish and was in the nine-hole against Rangers left-hander Martin Perez. The White Sox have a day off on Thursday, so hopefully Grandal […]

Phillies-Braves Game Postponed

The game between the Philadelphia Phillies and Atlanta Braves on Wednesday night in Philadelphia has been postponed due to inclement weather. It will be made up at some point in September.

Kristaps Porzingis Must Opt-In To Player Option

Washington Wizards center Kristaps Porzingis has been at the centerpiece of a potential three-team trade.

The assumption is that Porzingis would head to the Boston Celtics where they'd likely give him an extension this summer. […]
