The Rest of the Reds Hitters - Fantasy Baseball Streamers, Pickups, and Sleepers

The Cincinnati Reds are just two years removed from a winning record (83-79 in 2021) and only three from a postseason berth.

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (5/3/23): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups

We have a one-game playoff slate on Wednesday, which kicks in DraftKings' and FanDuel's single-game contest formats. There are no set roster positions, as would be the case on a multi-game ledger, but there are several position-less multiplier spots on FD and a 1.5x multiplier Captain's spot on DK. As such, this article will carry […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (5/3/23): Today's Top MLB DFS Lineups

Happy Wednesday, RotoBallers! I'm excited to be covering another fun DFS slate. The MLB season has been good to me in the early going, so I'm looking forward to sifting through another crop of games.

Early Slate - DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (5/3/23): Today's Top MLB DFS Lineups

There is a four-game matinee on getaway day this week. The bad news is that neither site has the major league debut of Arizona's top prospect, Brandon Pfaadt. That's an epic fail for BOTH sites...and something that could temper interest in an otherwise intriguing early slate. This article contains my picks for the four-game early […]

Aleksander Barkov Picks Up Two Points In Game 1 Victory

Florida Panthers center Aleksander Barkov finished with a pair of assists in Tuesday's 4-2 victory against the Maple Leafs in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference second-round series. The Panthers captain contributed on the game-winning goal by forward Carter Verhaeghe late in the second frame, while adding his seventh assist of the playoffs on defenseman […]

Salvador Perez Leaves Game With Finger Contusion

Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez (finger) was removed from Tuesday's game early against the Baltimore Orioles with a left middle-finger contusion, and he's being listed as day-to-day. He was hit on his middle finger on a backswing by outfielder Anthony Santander in the eighth inning and was forced to depart. It doesn't sound like […]

Mitchell Robinson Has Rough Night On Tuesday

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson couldn't get anything going in the Game 2 win over the Heat. He finished with only six points and five rebounds, logging just 21 minutes. Even worse, he went 2-for-6 from behind the charity stripe. Mitchell has struggled offensively during this series, averaging 6.5 points while sinking a laughable […]

Christian Wood Unlikely To Return To Dallas?

According to reports from The Athletic and the Dallas Morning News, forward/center Christian Wood is unlikely to return to the Mavericks. There have been rumblings that the Mavericks coaching staff never wanted him on the team. However, the 27-year-old has lashed back at the reports, stating he will soon "tell the real story." He had […]

Joel Embiid Doubtful For Game 2

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) will remain doubtful for Wednesday's Game 2 against the Boston Celtics. Embiid continues to rehab his injured knee, but a return to the court Wednesday is unlikely. Paul Reed got another start and followed up with his second-straight double-double while hauling in 13 rebounds. Reed should start again while […]

Joel Embiid Named Most Valuable Player Of The Year

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) has been named the 2022-2023 Most Valuable Player Of The Year. Embiid finally surpassed Nikola Jokic after finishing as a runner-up the past two years to earn his first MVP award. Embiid was masterful this season, recording averages of 33.1 points, 10.2 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.7 blocks and 1.0 […]

Jalen Brunson, Julius Randle Both Available Tuesday

New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson (ankle) and forward/center Julius Randle (ankle) are both available to play Game 2 against the Miami Heat on Tuesday. Randle will make his return after missing Game 1 while Brunson was questionable after dealing with some general soreness. Their availability could not have come at a better time […]

Gary Sanchez Opts Out Of Contract

San Francisco Giants catcher Gary Sanchez has decided to opt-out of his contract with the team. The 30-year-old signed with the team following spring training, but had an opt-out clause if he wasn't promoted to the big league roster by May 1. Unsurprisingly, Sanchez has decided to move on from the Giants and attempt to […]

Tyler Stephenson Absent From Tuesday's Lineup

Cincinnati Reds catcher Tyler Stephenson is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the San Diego Padres. Normally, Stephenson serves as the designated hitter or plays first base whenever he's not behind the plate. However, it appears the team is going to give Stephenson a rest day on Tuesday. The expectation is that […]

Travis d'Arnaud Continues To Recover From Concussion

Atlanta Braves catcher Travis d'Arnaud (concussion), who has had four concussions, remains on the injured list while recovering from his latest head injury on April 8 during a collision at the plate. d'Arnaud has dealt with serious headaches, and the Braves aren't pushing him to get back sooner than recommended. He's getting closer to a […]

Connor Wong Returns To Starting Lineup

Boston Red Sox catcher Connor Wong is back in Tuesday's starting lineup and will take on the Blue Jays and left-hander Yusei Kikuchi. It's of zero surprise that Wong gets the starting nod against a left-handed pitcher after Reese McGuire started Monday's contest against right-hander Jose Berrios. It's been a fairly strict platoon behind the […]

Cubs Expected To Promote Miguel Amaya

The Chicago Cubs are expected to promote catcher prospect Miguel Amaya on Tuesday. Starting catcher Yan Gomes (head) left Monday's contest early and will continue to be evaluated after being hit in the head on a back swing. Amaya, 24, has been one of the Cubs top prospects in his young career, but injuries have […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (5/02/23): Today's Top MLB DFS Lineups

There are 12 games on what should be a rather chilly Tuesday MLB DFS slate. This might certainly favor the pitchers but there's value galore at the dish as well. Let's bundle up and get ready to dance! Remember, this 12-game slate locks at 7:05 PM ET on Tuesday, May 2 so be sure to get […]

Joel Eriksson Ek Tried To Play With A Broken Leg

Minnesota Wild center Joel Eriksson Ek admitted that he tried to play with a broken leg in the first-round playoff series against Dallas. The 26-year-old was injured late in the regular season when he suffered a fractured fibula by blocking a shot with his leg. He was medically cleared to return for Game 3 against […]

Joe Pavelski On Track To Return Tuesday

Dallas Stars forward Joe Pavelski (concussion) is expected to return to the lineup for Tuesday's Game 1 against Seattle. He was already a game-time decision for the last game, and after having had a bit more time to recover, Pavelski looks ready to go after practicing with Mason Marchment and Max Domi on the second […]

Jack Hughes Wraps Up First Round With An Assist

New Jersey Devils forward Jack Hughes picked up one assist as the team crushed New York 4-0 in Game 7 Monday night. Hughes had his helper on the team's third goal when Erik Haula made it 3-0 with 5:03 left in regulation. New Jersey's young star led all forwards on the team with 20:53 of […]

Nikola Jokic Dominates Against Suns In Game 2

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic cruised to 39 points with 17-for-30 shooting and grabbed 16 rebounds in Monday's Game 2 win over Phoenix. The Suns could do very little to slow down Jokic, who fell just five points short of setting his new playoff career high in scoring. Jokic finished 2-for-6 from deep and wrapped […]

Yan Gomes Not In Concussion Protocol Yet

Chicago Cubs catcher Yan Gomes (head) is not officially in concussion protocol, according to Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune. The veteran backstop left Monday's game against the Washington Nationals early after a backswing hit him in the head. Gomes should be considered day-to-day and will likely still miss some time even if he avoids […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (5/2/23): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups

Welcome back, RotoBallers! We've got three more Game 2's tonight. These articles focus on the overall best plays, which are typically more suited for cash games.

Paul Reed Has A Double-Double In Game 1

Philadelphia 76ers forward/center Paul Reed had a double-double in Monday's win over the Celtics. With Joel Embiid (knee) out, the 23-year-old was back in the starting lineup, finishing with 13 rebounds and 10 points. However, despite Reed's uptick in production, his fantasy value will plummet once Embiid is back on the floor, which may come […]

Joel Embiid Might Return For Game 2

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) didn't suit up for Monday's postseason clash with the Celtics. However, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, there's "optimism" he'll return for Game 2 on Wednesday. The 29-year-old sprained his right LCL during the playoff series against the Brooklyn Nets and has been on the shelf since. Fortunately, Embiid appears […]

Yan Gomes Leaves Monday With Possible Head Injury

Chicago Cubs catcher Yan Gomes left his team's Monday game against the Washington Nationals with a possible head injury. While behind the plate in the first inning, Gomes was hit on the helmet on Jeimer Candelario's backswing. Gomes initially stuck around and logged an at-bat in the second inning, but he left shortly after striking […]

Domantas Sabonis Has Thumb Re-Evaluated On Monday

Sacramento Kings forward/center Domantas Sabonis (thumb) had an appointment on Monday to re-evaluate the condition of his injured right thumb. The results haven't been made public. The All-Star sustained an avulsion fracture in December but avoided going under the knife. The 26-year-old didn't seem bothered by the ailment, playing 79 regular season games and averaging […]

Mo Bamba Questionable For Tuesday

Los Angeles Lakers center Mo Bamba (ankle) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's Game 1 against the Golden State Warriors. The big man is dealing with left ankle soreness, so the team will likely wait until closer to game time before making a final decision. Bamba has played a total of nine minutes during the […]

Joel Embiid Ruled Out For Game 1

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) has been ruled out for Game 1 against the Boston Celtics on Monday. As expected, the superstar big man is unable to play due to a sprained right LCL. His absence will mean that Paul Reed moves into the starting five for this game. It's worth noting that Reed […]
