Masyn Winn Taking The Day Off Wednesday

St. Louis Cardinals shortstop Masyn Winn and outfielder Alec Burleson are both out of the starting lineup on Wednesday for the series finale against the San Diego Padres. Brandon Crawford is getting the start at shortstop and is batting seventh, while Brendan Donovan is leading off and playing left field against Padres right-hander Joe Musgrove. […]

Braves-White Sox Postponed Wednesday

The scheduled game on Wednesday between the Atlanta Braves and Chicago White Sox in Chicago was postponed due to rain, snow and a forecast of inclement weather. The contest will be made up on Thursday, June 27, at 3:10 pm. Fantasy managers hopefully were already able to remove all the players from these two teams […]

Mets-Tigers Postponed Again Wednesday

For the second day in a row, the contest between the New York Mets and Detroit Tigers scheduled for Wednesday has been postponed due to inclement weather. The game will be made up as part of a single-admission doubleheader on Thursday, April 4, beginning at 12:10 pm. Fantasy managers will want to make sure to […]

Orlando Arcia Getting A Breather In Series Finale

Atlanta Braves shortstop Orlando Arcia is getting a day off on Wednesday in the series finale against the Chicago White Sox. Luis Guillorme will handle shortstop duties in his absence and will hit ninth against White Sox opener Dominic Leone. Guillorme has never faced Leone in his career and should be avoided in DFS at […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (4/3/24): Today's Top MLB DFS Lineups

Wednesday brings a heavy dose of day baseball. That leaves us with a limited five-game evening slate on both DraftKings and FanDuel. There is some rain in the forecast for a few games, making this an especially tricky slate. This article will provide my daily fantasy baseball lineup picks for DraftKings and FanDuel on 4/3/2024. The […]

Wenceel Perez Off To Hot Start

Detroit Tigers shortstop Wenceel Perez has gradually climbed through the farm system since being signed out of the Dominican Republic in 2016. He made his Triple-A debut last season and looked solid, reaching base at a high rate and maintaining a K/BB rate near 1.0. He lacks power and struggles to hit left-handed pitching but […]

Bo Bichette Back In The Lineup Tuesday

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette (neck) said he's feeling better and will be back in the starting lineup on Tuesday against the Houston Astros and left-hander Framber Valdez. The left side of Bichette's neck was tight the last couple of days, limiting his ability to turn and see the pitcher, but his neck has […]

Colson Montgomery Looks To Shake Off Slow Start

Chicago White Sox shortstop prospect Colson Montgomery will look to correct his slow start against fellow shortstop prospect Jackson Holliday in Tuesday's Triple-A matchup. Montgomery, 22, is one of the games top prospects and is getting his first taste of Triple-A this season. So far, the shortstop is just 2-for-12 with one walk, one RBI […]

Javier Baez Not Playing Tuesday

Detroit Tigers shortstop Javier Baez is out of the team's starting lineup on Tuesday against the New York Mets. In his place, Zach McKinstry will start at shortstop and bat ninth versus Mets right-hander Adrian Houser. Baez could already use a break early in the year after going just 3-for-16 (.188) with an RBI, stolen […]

Anthony Volpe Goes A Perfect 4-For-4 Monday

New York Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe was clearly feeling better on Monday after he was scratched from Sunday's lineup with a stomach illness. In the 5-2 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks, the young shortstop went 4-for-4 with two doubles, an RBI and two runs scored. It was the 22-year-old's second multi-hit game of the 2024 […]

Week 2 Waiver Wire Rankings: Jared Jones, Abner Uribe, Jason Foley, Jake Fraley, Jose Siri, Leody Taveras, Jack Flaherty, Garrett Crochet

There are so many things happening in the first few games of the MLB season, and it's important to stay on top of all of them -- the latest injuries and players that need to be picked up. New closers will emerge, prospects will surge, and players will break out. With an extra-busy first few […]

Anthony Volpe Back On Monday

New York Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe (illness) is back at shortstop and is hitting seventh on Monday against the Arizona Diamondbacks and right-hander Ryne Nelson. Volpe was scratched from Sunday's series finale against the Houston Astros with a stomach illness, but he's apparently feeling better a day later and is back in action. The 22-year-old […]

Bo Bichette Still Out Monday

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette (neck) remains out of the team's starting lineup on Monday against the Houston Astros on the road. It's the second straight game that Bichette has been unable to play in after he was scratched from Sunday's series finale against the Tampa Bay Rays with a neck issue. For now, […]

Junior Caminero Having MRI On Monday

Tampa Bay Rays manager Kevin Cash said that infield prospect Junior Caminero (quadriceps), the team's top prospect who left Sunday's Triple-A Durham game with a left-quadriceps injury, is having an MRI exam on Monday. Caminero went 2-for-3 with a home run and two runs scored but then had to be helped off the field after […]

Oneil Cruz Hitting Near Bottom Of The Lineup Again

Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop Oneil Cruz is starting at shortstop and is hitting seventh in the batting order on Monday against the Washington Nationals and left-hander MacKenzie Gore. Cruz got a day off on Sunday and hasn't hit higher than sixth in the team's batting order so far in 2024, which isn't what fantasy managers want […]

Jackson Holliday - 2024 Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Jackson Holliday, 2B/SS, Baltimore Orioles ERIC CROSS' PROSPECT RANKING: #1 CALL-UP ETA: April ANALYSIS: It was rather surprising that Jackson Holliday didn't make Baltimore's opening day roster. But don't you worry, his time with Triple-A Norfolk is sure to be brief. After slashing .323/.442/.499 across four levels as a 19-year-old in 2023, Holliday impressed […]

Jorge Mateo Retreats To The Bench Monday

Baltimore Orioles infielder Jorge Mateo is on the bench for Monday's contest against the visiting Kansas City Royals. The middle infielder went 1-for-2 with a strikeout in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Los Angeles Angels before being lifted for the lefty-swinging Tony Kemp. Mateo got off to a strong start last season but struggled mightily […]

Bobby Witt Jr. A Double Shy Of The Cycle On Sunday

Kansas City Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. went 3-for-5 with a single, triple, homerun, and three runs scored, falling just a double short of the cycle Sunday in the team's 11-0 blowout of the Minnesota Twins. Witt is hitting a scorching .545 (6-for-11) and an even hotter 1.888 OPS through three games in 2024. He will look […]

Anthony Volpe Unavailable Sunday With Illness

New York Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe (illness) was scratched from the team's lineup Sunday due to a stomach illness. Fantasy managers can breathe a sigh of relief that Volpe's absence wasn't related to a more serious injury. With Volpe sidelined, Jon Berti will start at third base and bat seventh while Oswaldo Cabrera will slide […]

Bo Bichette Scratched With Neck Spasms On Sunday

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette (neck) is out of the lineup on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Rays due to neck spasms. With the two-time All-Star unavailable, Ernie Clement will start at shortstop and bat sixth. Bichette should hopefully return to the lineup for Monday's clash with the Houston Astros, but it is a […]

Corey Seager Taking Easter Off

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager is not in the team's starting lineup on Sunday against the Chicago Cubs. With Seager taking the day off on Easter Sunday, Ezequiel Duran will make the start at the 6 and bat fifth for the Rangers against Cubs left-hander Jordan Wicks. Despite having sports-hernia surgery in January, Seager was […]

Oneil Cruz, Henry Davis Sitting For Pirates

Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop Oneil Cruz and catcher/outfielder Henry Davis will start on the bench for Sunday's series finale versus the Miami Marlins. Alika Williams is playing the 6 and batting eighth, while Jason Delay will do the catching for Pittsburgh while hitting in the nine-hole. Neither Williams nor Delay will be particularly attractive DFS sleepers […]
