Happy Thursday, MLB fans and DFS grinders! We have another split slate on tap today with a 5-game afternoon slate on DraftKings, while FanDuel has only four games, with the Texas-Oakland game being available only on DK. While most of our MLB DFS coverage here at RotoBaller is geared towards the main slate, I wanted […]

Tim Anderson Slashes .300/.330/.390 In June

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson consistently reached base over the course of June. Over 24 games, he slashed 300/.330/.390. He only managed to hit one home run, but he racked up five stolen bases and 12 runs. Anderson has a career-best 42.9% hard-hit rate on the year. However, his average launch angle is down […]

J.P. Crawford Scores Twice Wednesday

Seattle Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford recorded three hits against the Toronto Blue Jays Wednesday, going 3-for-6 with a double and two runs scored from the leadoff spot. Over his last 30 games, Crawford has an OPS of .890 with four home runs, two steals, 19 runs, and 15 RBI. He has reached base in 17 […]

Nick Ahmed Draws Three Walks In Loss Wednesday

Arizona Diamondbacks shortstop Nick Ahmed went 0-for-1 with three walks and a run scored in a 7-4 loss to the Cardinals on Wednesday. It's looking like he's starting to show better plate discipline now, as five of his 19 walks this season have come over his last seven games. Along with the walks, Ahmed has […]

Trea Turner Jams Finger, Juan Soto Suffers From Cramp

It was a busy day for the Washington Nationals in their 15-6 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday. Shortstop Trea Turner (finger) hit for his third career cycle on his 28th birthday, but he also jammed his left middle finger sliding into third base on his triple in the sixth inning to complete […]

Trea Turner Hits For The Cycle On His Birthday

Washington Nationals shortstop Trea Turner gave himself a pretty nice birthday gift when he tripled in the sixth inning on Wednesday against the Tampa Bay Rays to complete the cycle. He became the fourth player in the modern era to hit for three career cycles. Turner went 4-for-4 in the ballgame with four runs scored […]

Miguel Rojas Back In Lineup On Wednesday

Miami Marlins shortstop Miguel Rojas (illness) returns to the lineup and will bat fifth in Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. The 32-year-old was day-to-day with a non-COVID-19-related illness. Rojas is hitting .256/.328/.406 on the season but cooled off a bit in June, registering just six hits and one home run in 36 plate appearances. […]

Jorge Polanco Getting Day Off Wednesday

Minnesota Twins second baseman/shortstop Jorge Polanco is not in Wednesday's lineup for the contest against the Chicago White Sox. Polanco has had a strong month of June, slashing .290/.350/.484 with four home runs, 18 runs, 10 RBI, and three stolen bases. Luis Arraez will get the start at second base and bat leadoff against White […]

Corey Seager Moved To 60-Day Injured List

The Los Angeles Dodgers moved shortstop Corey Seager (hand) to the 60-day injured list on Wednesday to make room on the roster for right-hander Bobby Wahl, who was claimed off waivers from the Milwaukee Brewers. It was reported recently that Seager just hasn't responded as the team had hoped from the fractured right hand that […]

Vidal Brujan Reaches Base Five Times Tuesday

Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Vidal Brujan, baseball's No. 36 overall prospect, went 3-for-3 with two doubles and two walks to reach base five times on Tuesday night with Triple-A Durham. It was Brujan's first game with multiple doubles since May 25. The 23-year-old is slashing .254/.340/.480 with 10 doubles, one triple, nine home runs, 35 […]

Paul DeJong Resting On Wednesday

St. Louis Cardinals shortstop Paul DeJong is not in the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Although DeJong does have 10 home runs on the season, his slash line of .169/.271/.354 leaves a lot to be desired from a fantasy perspective in his 178 at-bats. He also has just eight hits in 54 […]

Marco Luciano Hits Pair Of Homers Tuesday

San Francisco Giants shortstop prospect Marco Luciano had a huge game Tuesday with Low-A San Jose, belting a double, two home runs, and four RBI. Baseball's number 12 prospect is now slashing .278/.360/.568 with 12 HR and 36 RBI. It may be a while before fantasy managers see the 19-year-old in a Giants jersey, but […]

Ramon Urias Hits Two-Run Homer Tuesday

Baltimore Orioles second baseman/shortstop Ramon Urias had a nice day at the plate in Tuesday's 13-3 win over the Astros. Urias went 2-for-3 with a single, a two-run home run, and two walks. The 27-year-old has done a decent job at the plate this season, slashing .265/.359/.456 with three HR and 12 RBI. That being […]

Paul DeJong Out Of The Lineup For Wednesday's Game

St. Louis Cardinals shortstop Paul DeJong is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. DeJong will sit for the series finale and Edmundo Sosa will play shortstop and bat eighth. DeJong has been scuffling all month, batting just .148 with a .573 OPS in 54 June at bats. He's always […]

New York Yankees shortstop Gleyber Torres went 2-for-4 with two RBI, a run scored, and a stolen base in Tuesday's 11-5 victory over the Los Angeles Angels. Torres stepped up to the plate in the fourth inning with two runners in scoring position and drove each of them in with a single to the opposite […]

Trevor Story Plates Two In Win Over Pittsburgh

Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI, and a strikeout in an 8-0 win over the Pirates on Tuesday. It was a hit party for the Rockies as Story was one of six starters to collect multiple hits for Colorado. German Marquez threw a one-hitter in a phenomenal effort and […]

Bo Bichette Spanks 15th Homer

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette slugged his 15th homer of the season on Tuesday as his club rolled past the Mariners 9-3. Bichette's three-run blast off Rafael Montero in the sixth broke a 3-3 tie at the time, and he would later add a single to finish the day going 2-for-5. The 23-year-old is […]

Marcus Semien Drives In Five On Tuesday

Toronto Blue Jays second baseman Marcus Semien popped his 19th long ball of the season during the club's 9-3 victory over the Mariners on Tuesday. He finished the day going 3-for-5 with a two-run double in the first to get the scoring started, and he followed that up by slugging a three-run bomb in the […]

Indians-Tigers Postponed Tuesday

The contest between the Cleveland Indians and Detroit Tigers has been postponed due to inclement weather on Tuesday. The two teams will play a doubleheader on Wednesday. The pitching matchup between Tigers right-hander Jose Urena and Indians right-hander J.C. Mejia will have to wait until Wednesday. If you haven't already, remove any players from this […]

Miguel Rojas Expected Back In Lineup On Wednesday

Miami Marlins shortstop Miguel Rojas (illness) is expected to be back in the lineup on Wednesday as the team continues its series against the Philadelphia Phillies. The Marlins said Rojas is day-to-day with a non-COVID-19-related illness similar to a cold that teammate Sandy Alcantara suffered from last weekend, but he should be fine by game […]

Mauricio Dubon Optioned To Triple-A

The San Francisco Giants optioned Mauricio Dubon to Triple-A on Tuesday while also recalling infielder Thairo Estrada. Dubon had played second base, third base, shortstop and center field for San Francisco this season but struggled at the plate. The 26-year-old hit just .234 with a .272 on-base percentage, five home runs and a pair of […]

Miguel Rojas Not In Tuesday's Lineup

Miami Marlins shortstop Miguel Rojas is not in the lineup for Tuesday's series-opener against the Philadelphia Phillies. Rojas is dealing with a finger injury, but he's seemed healthy and this may just be one of manager Don Mattingly's "scheduled" days off. It certainly goes against his, "we need to win all of our games" speech […]

Champ or Chump: Trevor Story

With the announcement that Trevor Story would participate in the 2021 Home Run Derby, fantasy managers were given an opportunity to consider the strange season he's having. The combination of nine homers and 14 SB delivers plenty of fantasy value, but his .254/.327/.443 triple-slash line is far short of expectations for a guy who hit […]
