The Cut List (Week 3) - Time to Let Go?

You already didn't have very many Marlins on your fantasy roster, right? It's still early enough that most of your cuts are going to be clearly marginal players who will miss several days due to postponed games. But what about those tougher calls? There's a bit more information out there than there was last week. […]

Atlanta Braves catcher Travis D'Arnaud was 3-for-4 with five RBI and a walk during Friday's 11-10 win over the New York Mets. The 31-year-old smacked a bases-clearing double in the bottom of the eighth inning to put his team in front. D'Arnuad has impressed during his first two games back, going 4-for-7 with six RBI. […]

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Kristaps Porzingis scored a team-high 39 points in Friday's overtime loss to Houston, shooting 13-for-26 from the field and 10-for-11 at the line. He made three treys with eight attempts, adding 16 rebounds, two assists, two steals, and one block to his line. Porzingis's career-high stands at 40 points, so he was […]

Champ or Chump: Isiah Kiner-Falefa

Roughly a week into the season, no fewer than 20 percent of MLB teams are shelved due to coronavirus concerns. In all probability, your roster has a ton of players who are too good to drop yet aren't playing in the immediate future. Most of the affected players haven't been placed on the IL yet […]

Joel Embiid Available On Sunday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (calf) will play on Sunday against the Indiana Pacers. Embiid began dealing with tightness in the area and didn't suit up for two of the team's final three scrimmage games. While the 26-year-old is always a desirable DFS option, fantasy managers may want to think twice before including him in […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (8/1/20): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

Happy weekend, RotoBallers! I know we've all waited a long time to get basketball back in our lives, but I must say that having wall-to-wall action all day is a perfect way to make up for all the games we've missed over the last few months. With 22 teams participating, we don't have our usual […]

Alex Avila Launches Solo Home Run

Minnesota Twins catcher Alex Avila hit his first home run of the 2020 season in Friday's win over Cleveland. Avila's blast was a 405-foot homer that traveled at an exit velocity of 105.1 MPH. The 33-year-old doesn't provide much fantasy value at this point in his career, though it's fair to wonder if he'll get […]

Salvador Perez Records Three Hits On Friday

Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez had his first multi-hit game of the year on Friday against the Chicago White Sox, going 3-for-4 with an RBI. Coming into the game, Perez was hitting just .179 on the young season. He's been providing decent power numbers with two home runs and five RBI on the year, […]

Nikola Vucevic Dumps 22 Points On Brooklyn

Orlando Magic center Nikola Vucevic scored 22 points during the restart win over the Brooklyn Nets on Friday afternoon. The big man also added seven boards, five assists, and was an effective 8-for-12 shooting from the field. Vucevic has historically played well against the Nets throughout his career, so the stellar effort in this one […]

Jusuf Nurkic Blocks Six Shots In Win

Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic returned to the court with a bang in Friday's 140-135 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies. Nurkic stuffed the stat sheet, tallying 18 points, nine rebounds, six blocks, five assists and two steals. What a return it was for the Bosnian big man, who missed most of this season while […]

Shin-Soo Choo Leading Off, Willie Calhoun Batting Sixth

Texas Rangers outfielders Shin Soo-Choo and Willie Calhoun are both in Friday's lineup against the San Francisco Giants. Choo is off to a slow start to 2020, as he is just 1-for-13 with one RBI in five games while Calhoun is hitless in 11 at-bats. Perhaps both players can get going in a favorable matchup […]

Rene Rivera Placed On Injured List With Elbow Injury

New York Mets catcher Rene Rivera has a hyperextended left elbow that will require a stint on the 10-day injured list. The team already has Wilson Ramos as its primary catcher, with Tomas Nido able to fill in as a backup. To take Rivera’s spot on the roster, right-handed pitcher Franklyn Kilome has been recalled […]

Gary Sanchez Sitting Amid Struggles

New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez is getting a breather on Friday as the team squares off against Red Sox right-hander Ryan Weber. Kyle Higashioka will start behind the plate for the Bronx Bombers and bat ninth. Sanchez is off to an 0-for-15 start with 10 strikeouts this season and has only reached base once […]

Giants "Not Convinced" That Joey Bart Is MLB Ready

After momentum was growing earlier this week about a possible call up for San Francisco Giants catching prospect Joey Bart, it appears the team has reversed its course. According to a Giants beat writer, the 23-year-old's promotion is "nowhere near imminent," and the team is "not convinced" that he's ready for the big leagues. While […]

Cardinals-Brewers Game Postponed On Friday

Friday's scheduled game between the St. Louis Cardinals and the Milwaukee Brewers has been postponed due to two Cardinals players testing positive for COVID-19. For now, it is expected to be made up as part of a double header on Sunday, but as we've seen with the Marlins, things can spread quickly. Based on the […]

Christian Vazquez Powers Red Sox Past Mets

Boston Red Sox catcher Christian Vazquez continued his stretch of success at the plate as he went 2-for-4 with two home runs, two hits and three RBI in Thursday's 4-2 victory against the Mets. Vazquez took starting pitcher Steven Matz deep in the second inning, while adding a two-run home run in the fourth inning […]

Rudy Gobert Comes Up Big On Thursday Night

Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert had a double-double in the Thursday night win over the New Orleans Pelicans, finishing with 14 points and 12 boards. The big man was also proficient defensively by swatting three shots, but likely made his most significant contribution of the night by sinking two free throws to put his team […]

Mitch Garver Completes Hat Trick Against Indians

Minnesota Twins catcher Mitch Garver came to the plate three times against Cleveland Indians ace Shane Bieber and struck out all three times. Garver wasn't alone, considering 13 Twins were sent down swinging by Bieber. Still it's not a particularly strong start to the season for the 29-year-old, who is 2-for-13 with eight strikeouts in […]

Austin Nola Likely Back This Weekend

Seattle Mariners catcher/first baseman Austin Nola (knee) could return to the club on Friday, but the worst-case scenario is sometime later this weekend. The 30-year-old injured his knee on a slide in Monday's game, but a subsequent MRI has come back clean. Nola is 2-for-11 in the early going after hitting .269 with 10 home […]

Joey Bart Taking Reps At First Base

San Francisco Giants catching prospect Joey Bart has been fielding ground balls at first base at the team's alternate training site in Sacramento. There's been momentum towards a possible call up for the 13th ranked prospect in baseball, but manager Gabe Kapler continues to dance around the subject. With Buster Posey opting out of the […]
