The Kansas City Royals will be calling up catching prospect MJ Melendez from Triple-A on Monday.

Top Hitter Streamers and Starts for Fantasy Baseball - Week 4

When will the offense pick back up? At the moment, the league-wide OPS is just .675. Meanwhile, home runs have become much more scarce this season, leading to a lot of lower-scoring affairs.

Steven Adams Remains Out For Game 1

Memphis Grizzlies center Steven Adams won't play on Sunday during the playoff meeting with Golden State. The veteran remains in COVID-19 health and safety protocols, so it's unknown if he'll be back for Game 2 on Tuesday. Nonetheless, Adams was phased out of the rotation during the first-round matchup versus Minnesota to give more minutes […]

Sixers To Take Committee Approach With Joel Embiid Out

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (face, concussion) will be sidelined indefinitely after sustaining an orbital fracture during the Game 6 series-clinching win versus Toronto.

Sean Murphy To Rest On Saturday

Oakland Athletics catcher Sean Murphy (rest) isn't in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Cleveland Guardians. This appears to be a routine day off for Murphy who started 20 straight games. The 27-year-old is hitting .218/.262/.487 with four home runs and 14 RBI this season. He only has two hits over his last […]

Daulton Varsho Gets A Rest Day

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder/catcher Daulton Varsho isn't in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals.

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (4/30/22): Today's Top MLB DFS Lineups

There are seven games on the main slate for both sites tonight, which is a solid middle-ground number of games to work with in daily fantasy contests. Kershaw and Cole represent the high-salary pitching pool tonight while Lauer, Eovaldi, and Gibson make up the mid-range, and Taijuan Walker is potentially in play at a low […]

Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl Rested On Friday

Edmonton Oilers forwards Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl will be rested for the team's regular-season finale on Friday against Vancouver. The Oilers have nothing to play for and are already looking forward to the playoffs, so there's no reason whatsoever to have McDavid and Draisaitl in the lineup and risk a potential injury to the […]

Mike Zunino Returns To Lineup Friday

Tampa Bay Rays catcher Mike Zunino (biceps) is back behind the plate and is batting seventh on Friday against Minnesota Twins right-hander Dylan Bundy. Zunino missed two games due to a mild left biceps strain suffered earlier this week, but he's back in the starting lineup for the Rays to begin the series with the […]
