We are on to the playoffs in many points leagues. This is what we have worked for all season and there is no tomorrow. We need to be more active on waivers than usual. For instance, I'm against the guy who has Brayan Bello and Spencer Arrighetti this week. Those two had their best games […]

Washington Nationals shortstop CJ Abrams will get the day off on Wednesday versus the New York Yankees at Nationals Park.

Seattle Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford (finger) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list on Wednesday and is back at shortstop and batting leadoff against the Tampa Bay Rays and right-hander Drew Rasmussen at T-Mobile Park.

Kansas City Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. (finger) is starting at shortstop and hitting in the two-hole on Wednesday versus the division-rival Cleveland Guardians and right-hander Tanner Bibee at Progressive Field for the series finale with sole possession of the American League Central lead on the line. Witt was hit on the right middle finger […]

Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop Oneil Cruz is making his first career start in center field and will bat third on Wednesday against the division-rival Chicago Cubs and right-hander Kyle Hendricks at PNC Park. With Cruz in the outfield, Isiah Kiner-Falefa is at short and batting leadoff. The Pirates mentioned earlier this week that they were going […]

Luisangel Acuna Fills Stat Sheet For Triple-A Syracuse

New York Mets shortstop prospect Luisangel Acuna did a little bit of everything on Tuesday night for Triple-A Syracuse, recording a home run as one of his four hits to go with three RBI and two stolen bases. It was the 11th multi-hit, multi-steal game in the minors for the 22-year-old shortstop who was traded […]

Dansby Swanson Hits Three-Run Homer Tuesday

One day after hitting a grand slam, Chicago Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson struck again in Tuesday's 9-5 win over the Pirates. Swanson went 1-for-2 with a three-run home run and two walks. The 30-year-old crushed a fourth-inning Jared Jones fastball into the right-center seats for his 12th long ball of the season. Swanson has had […]

Ezequiel Tovar Homers Twice, Plates Four Tuesday

Colorado Rockies shortstop Ezequiel Tovar (hernia) had a great game back in the lineup for Tuesday's 9-8 loss to the Marlins. Tovar, who missed Monday's game due to a sports hernia, went 3-for-4 with a double, a solo home run, a two-run HR, four RBI, and a strikeout. The 23-year-old went back-to-back with Charlie Blackmon […]

J.P. Crawford Should Be Back By This Weekend

Seattle Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford (finger) was back at T-Mobile Park during an off day across the minors on Monday and took part in a simulated game and on-field batting practice. It's possible he'll need another simulated game and/or another rehab game, although High-A Everett and Triple-A Tacoma are both on the road this week. […]

Ha-Seong Kim To Rejoin The Team In St. Louis

San Diego Padres manager Mike Shildt said on 97.3 The Fan that shortstop Ha-Seong Kim (shoulder) is expected to rejoin the team during their series in St. Louis against the Cardinals at Busch Stadium this week. Kim will most likely resume baseball activities during the team's road trip, although it's unclear if he'll come off […]

Ezequiel Tovar Returns Against Marlins

As expected, Colorado Rockies shortstop Ezequiel Tovar (hernia) is back at shortstop and hitting in the two-hole on Tuesday against the Miami Marlins and right-hander Roddery Munoz at Coors Field. Tovar was held out of Monday's contest due to a sports hernia that he's been dealing with, but it's obviously not serious enough to keep […]

Jacob Wilson Reinstated And Starting On Tuesday

The Oakland Athletics reinstated infield prospect Jacob Wilson (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday and also recalled infielder Armando Alvarez from Triple-A Las Vegas. In a corresponding move, infielder Abraham Toro was designated for assignment. After tweaking his hamstring in his major-league debut shortly after the All-Star break following a hit in his […]

Mikey Romero Promoted To Double-A Portland

Boston Red Sox shortstop prospect Mikey Romero is being promoted to Double-A Portland, according to MiLB Central. Romero has spent the entire summer getting his first extended look at High-A ball and held a .271/.319/.498 slash line with 10 home runs, 20 doubles, and 40 RBI through 59 games. Last summer, the former 24th overall […]

Boston Baro Moving Up To High-A

New York Mets infield prospect Boston Baro is being promoted to High-A Brooklyn, according to Mets Player Development. Baro, who was selected in the eighth round of the 2023 MLB draft, has spent the entire summer at Single-A. The infielder held a strong .288/.368/.399 slash line there with 93 total hits in 84 games. He […]

Jacob Wilson Close To Rejoining The A's

The Oakland Athletics optioned infielder Darell Hernaiz to Triple-A Las Vegas after Sunday's game, with the logical assumption being that top prospect Jacob Wilson (hamstring) is ready to rejoin the major-league club. Wilson, 22, has played the field, completed a full nine innings and looks to be ready after injuring his hamstring in his MLB […]

Ezequiel Tovar Likely To Play On Tuesday

Colorado Rockies shortstop Ezequiel Tovar (hernia), who was given Monday against the Miami Marlin off as he battles through a sports hernia, is likely to play on Tuesday at Coors Field.

MLB DFS: DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (8/27/24) - Today's Top Lineups

Happy Tuesday, RotoBallers! It's wild to think that we are almost in September, and the postseason is on the horizon.

That could spring some surprise substitutions and pinch-hitters with DFS implications.  Today offers nine games for our DFS […]

Bobby Witt Jr. Hits Go-Ahead Homer Monday

Kansas City Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. did his part at the plate in Monday's Game 1 4-3 win over the Guardians. Witt Jr. went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk, and a stolen base. The 24-year-old put the Royals ahead for good in the eighth inning, lining a Hunter Gaddis slider into […]

Dansby Swanson Hits Grand Slam On Monday

Chicago Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson went 1-for-4 on Monday with a walk and two runs scored in his team's blowout win 18-8 over the Pittsburgh Pirates.

The Chicago White Sox announced on Monday that they claimed infielder Jacob Amaya off waivers from the Houston Astros and designated infielder Nick Senzel for assignment in a corresponding move.

Javier Baez To Have Season-Ending Hip Surgery

Detroit Tigers shortstop Javier Baez (hip), who was moved to the 60-day injured list on Monday, will have season-ending arthroscopic right-hip surgery next week. Another hugely disappointing season comes to an end early for Baez. The 31-year-old Puerto Rican infielder has somehow gotten worse in each year in Detroit and will finish the 2024 campaign […]

Termarr Johnson Promoted To Double-A

Pittsburgh Pirates middle-infield prospect Termarr Johnson, the team's No. 3 prospect per MLB Pipeline, was promoted to Double-A Altoona on Sunday, according to a source. The team's first-round pick in 2022 and the No. 83 prospect in all of baseball has posted a .372 on-base percentage with 13 home runs and 20 stolen bases for […]

Oneil Cruz To Start Seeing Time In Center Field

Pittsburgh Pirates manager Derek Shelton announced during his pre-game press conference on Monday that shortstop Oneil Cruz will start seeing time in center field. The Pirates haven't released their starting lineup for Monday's contest against the division-rival Chicago Cubs at PNC Park, but fantasy managers should expect the change to take effect immediately. It means […]
