June is here and so is the warmer weather which usually means more offense, as most of us fantasy players hope. The dog days of summer are just around the corner and with it a soon-to-be last chance to salvage our fantasy seasons or a chance to pull away and win your leagues. This is […]

Willy Adames Expected To Return Tuesday Against The Phillies

The Milwaukee Brewers are expected to activate shortstop Willy Adames (ankle, quadriceps) from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday.

His return will push Luis Urias […]

Luis Urias Not In The Lineup On Saturday

Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Luis Urias (thumb) is sitting out on Saturday against the San Diego Padres. The 25-year-old shortstop exited the Friday night's contest early after experiencing some discomfort in his right thumb, which is why he's sitting out on Saturday. Pablo Reyes, who took over for Urias at shortstop on Friday, is starting against […]

Taylor Walls Out Again Saturday

Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Taylor Walls (calf) is not in the starting lineup on Saturday against the Chicago White Sox. Walls fouled a ball off his calf earlier in the week, but he was reportedly available off the bench on Friday, so the injury doesn't appear to be very serious. The 25-year-old has been primarily […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (6/4/22): Today's Top MLB DFS Lineups

We had yet another very high-scoring slate on Friday night, which was probably to be expected with some aces on the hill and some really good offenses with good match-ups, too. If your lineups are scoring a bunch of points and you're still only min-cashing, don't fret! You're in good company because I have had […]

Luis Urias Leaves Friday's Game With Thumb Discomfort

Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Luis Urias (thumb) left Friday night's game against the San Diego Padres with an injury.

The Brewers are already short-handed at the […]

Francisco Lindor Returns Friday

New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor (finger) is back at shortstop and is hitting third on Friday against Los Angeles dodgers left-hander Tyler Anderson. Lindor smashed his finger in a hotel door on Thursday and didn't play, but he'll return a day later in Los Angeles. The 28-year-old reportedly has a small fracture in his […]

Andrew Velazquez To Stay At Shortstop

Los Angeles Angels infielder Andrew Velazquez will keep the shortstop job once infielder David Fletcher (hip) returns from surgery on both of the adductor muscles in his legs. Velazquez isn't doing anyone any favors with his batting average -- he's hitting just .193 (27-for-140) on the year -- but he is in the top 10 […]

Willy Adames Plays Four Innings In Rehab Game

In his return in the minor leagues on his rehab assignment for Triple-A Nashville on Thursday, Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Willy Adames (ankle, quadriceps) went 1-for-3 and played four innings at shortstop.

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (6/3/22): Today's Top MLB DFS Lineups

Sometimes you just have to load up on the Coors Field game and sometimes you just fade it. Last night, I hope you played the chalky Braves because they ended up hanging 13 on Colorado, while the Rockies still managed to score six in defeat. We have another Coors game on this 12-game slate, but […]

Francisco Lindor Out With Finger Injury

New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor (finger) is not in the starting lineup on Thursday night against the Los Angeles Dodgers after closing a door on his right hand and injuring a finger, according to skipper Buck Showalter.

Brandon Crawford Scratched With Illness

San Francisco Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford (illness) was scratched from the lineup on Thursday against the Miami Marlins with a non-COVID illness.

New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor helped the team complete a three-game sweep of the Washington Nationals on Wednesday.

Javier Baez Receiving Another Day Off

Detroit Tigers shortstop Javier Baez is out of the starting lineup for the second straight game on Thursday against the Minnesota Twins.

Oneil Cruz Diagnosed With Grade 1 Ankle Sprain

Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop prospect Oneil Cruz has been diagnosed with a Grade 1 ankle sprain. It's a shame as Cruz has been performing well after a slow start. The Pirates have been calling up a lot of their young guys, but for whatever reason have played things slow with their top prospect, Cruz and now […]
