DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (6/8/19): MLB DFS Lineups

Top 30 Impact Prospects for Redraft Leagues (Week 10)

It was a quiet week for prospect promotions and catcher Will Smith was the only position player who was promoted and stuck.

Arizona Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said that starting pitcher Zack Greinke (neck) will have his next start pushed back from Friday to Saturday against the Blue Jays to give him an extra day to deal with neck stiffness he experienced on Saturday against the Mets.

Adam Jones Dealing With Cramps

Arizona Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said the team is hopeful that outfielder Adam Jones (hamstring) was just dealing with cramps when he was pulled from the game early on Tuesday with a tight hamstring.

Taylor Clarke Respectable on Tuesday

Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Taylor Clarke had a reasonable outing on Tuesday against the red-hot Los Angeles Dodgers. Clarke pitched five innings, allowing three earned runs on four hits to go along with four strikeouts.

Adam Jones Forced Out Due To Tight Hamstring

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Adam Jones (hamstring) was forced to leave Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers due to what the club is calling right hamstring tightness. Jones might have tweaked something running down the first-base line during the third inning. Outfielder Tim Locastro replaced Jones in right field. The severity of the injury is […]

Christian Walker Goes Yard on Monday

Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Christian Walker went deep in Monday's loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Walker went 1-for-3 but provided the lone run off Dodgers starting pitcher Walker Buehler, who dominated the D-backs. The young first baseman has been struggling of late, but he does have 11 home runs this season and showed vast […]
