Vincent Poirier Ruled Out For Thursday

Boston Celtics center Vincent Poirier (personal) has been ruled out for Thursday's Game 3 versus the Toronto Raptors. He was expected to leave the bubble at some point to be with his wife that is expected to give birth soon. His absence shouldn't make much of an impact in the rotation. Robert Williams has taken […]

Salvador Perez Improving But Return Not Imminent

Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez has been sidelined since Aug. 18 due to left eye central serous chorioretinopathy, which has hampered his vision. But Perez saw a specialist Thursday, who indicated that his vision is improving, although his return isn’t on the horizon. Cam Gallagher and Meibrys Viloria will continue to hold down catching […]

The Baller Ranks: Top 200 Hitters Weekly Rankings (Week 7)

The past week brought us one of the coolest trade deadlines in recent memory. It's always a good time when the GM of an MLB franchise starts making trades like a fantasy manager. The changes for Austin Nola, Mitch Moreland, Jonathan Villar, Starling Marte, and Jon Berti are meaningful, but not with clear fantasy implications. […]

William Smith Is Extra-Innings Hero On Wednesday

Los Angeles Dodgers catcher William Smith was 1-for-3 with a walk-off single during Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks. The 25-year-old is slashing .208/.386/.491 with four homers and 12 RBI through 53 at-bats this season. Smith has one of the worst discrepancies in baseball when looking at his expected statistics, as his expected batting […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (9/3/20): NBA DFS Lineups

We had an absolutely wild ending in a Game 7 on Wednesday night, with James Harden blocking Lu Dort's 3-pointer (and some more ensuing chaos) in the final seconds to give the Rockets the series win over the Thunder. You could tell Harden reveled in that blocked shot, especially since his shot wasn't falling all […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (9/3/20) - MLB DFS Lineups

We head into Thursday night with a weird 6 game slate on tap. The main slate locks at 4:05 pmEST. There are two games in the 4 o'clock hour and then the other four games start at 7:10 pm and later. Regardless, it looks like a fun slate to build some lineups for and win […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (9/3/20): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

There are nine games set to take place Thursday, yet just four of those contests will be available on the FanDuel main slate.

Willson Contreras Scores Three Times

Chicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras scored three times in a 3-for-5 with a RBI on Wednesday against the Pirates. Contreras was promoted to the number two spot for the contest even though he has been in a major slump. Managers who selected Contreras have every right to be disappointed with his season results, but hopefully […]

J.T. Realmuto Swipes Two Bags Wednesday

Philadelphia Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto ran wild on Wednesday stealing two bases and scoring a run in a win vs the Nationals Wednesday. Realmuto now has four steals on the season to go with his nine homers, 20 runs scored, and 26 RBI. He came into the season as the top-ranked catcher for fantasy and […]

Roberto Perez Leaves Game With Shoulder Fatigue

Cleveland Indians catcher Roberto Perez (shoulder) left Wednesday’s game after only two innings with shoulder fatigue. Perez already spent a brief stint on the injured list with a sore shoulder earlier this season, and although his timeline is unclear at this point, the 31-year-old's persistent shoulder issue is concerning. Sandy Leon relieved Perez on Wednesday […]

Alex Avila Day-To-Day With Back Tightness

Minnesota Twins catcher Alex Avila (back) was left out of the lineup on Wednesday with lower back tightness and is day-to-day for now. With catcher Mitch Garver (rib) sidelined as well, the Twins have catcher Ryan Jeffers starting on Wednesday and batting ninth. Jeffers has struggled over 10 MLB games so far this season with […]

Alex Avila, Byron Buxton Absent From Wednesday’s Lineup

Minnesota Twins catcher Alex Avila was scratched from the starting nine Wednesday against the White Sox and right-hander Reynaldo Lopez with Ryan Jeffers taking over behind the dish. Also out of the lineup is center fielder Byron Buxton, whom the team is just giving a day off after he returned from the IL on Tuesday. […]

Travis d'Arnaud Picks Up Three Hits In Tuesday's Win

Atlanta Braves catcher Travis d'Arnaud was 3-for-5 with a run scored during Tuesday's 10-3 win over the Boston Red Sox.

He looked great during Game 1 against the Toronto Raptors. Williams finished with 10 points, five rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal in 19 minutes of play. […]

Hot Prospects To Watch: Hot Hitters and Hurlers

Perhaps there's nothing more tantalizing in fantasy baseball than drafting an up-and-coming prospect or rushing to the waiver wire to bid on a Triple-A call-up. With no minor leagues this year, our favorite prospects are now playing on taxi squads, making it difficult for us to fantasize about since we can't get eyes on their […]
