DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (4/6/19): MLB DFS Lineups

Saturday brings us a strange day for DFS. There are really no stand out pitchers on either of the two main slates. Yes there are good pitchers but their matchups mean that there is no must use option. That presents some interesting strategies for GPP, as we could see a lot of the big bats […]

Jake Lamb To Miss Around Six Weeks

Arizona Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said that corner infielder Jake Lamb is dealing with a Grade 2 strain of his left quadriceps and could miss around six weeks.

Jake Lamb Placed On Injured List

The Arizona Diamondbacks placed corner infielder Jake Lamb on the 10-day injured list on Friday with a left quadriceps strain, retroactive to April 4.

Arizona Diamondbacks infielder Wilmer Flores is not in the starting lineup on Friday. Ketel Marte is starting at second base and is batting sixth, while Jarrod Dyson is in center field and is hitting leadoff against Red Sox starting pitcher Rick Porcello.

Digging Up Fantasy Value in Baltimore

In every season there are teams who initially appear so bad that we give up all hope of fantasy value. In 2019 one of those teams was the Baltimore Orioles, who had a very different lineup to last year. 2018 saw the Orioles move on from Manny Machado and Jonathan Schoop, and Adam Jones followed […]

Control Eludes Robbie Ray In Road Setback

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Robbie Ray allowed just two earned runs and two hits across 5 1/3 innings in Wednesday's 4-1 road loss against the San Diego Padres. However, he also walked five batters while throwing just 50 of his 89 pitches for strikes, and he managed first-pitch strikes to only nine of the 22 […]

Christian Walker Takes The Collar In Road Loss

Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Christian Walker was hitless in four at-bats with a strikeout in Wednesday's 4-1 road loss against the San Diego Padres. In this game, first baseman Jake Lamb, who was making the start at third base, suffered a strained left quadriceps running the bases in the ninth inning. If he is forced […]

Jake Lamb Injured Wednesday, Scheduled For MRI

Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Jake Lamb (quadriceps) delivered an RBI double in the top of the ninth inning to break up a shutout in Wednesday's 4-1 loss against the San Diego Padres. That's the good news. The bad news is that he pulled up lame midway between first and second base with what is being […]

Jake Lamb To Play Third Base Again?

Arizona Diamondbacks corner infielder Jake Lamb took ground balls at third base on Monday for the first time since last season and told manager Torey Lovullo that he's comfortable playing there again. Lamb spent spring training transitioning to first base, but Christian Walker has been hot to start the year and has been playing over […]

Taijuan Walker Throwing Bullpens

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Taijuan Walker (elbow) threw a bullpen session at the team's spring training complex on Tuesday and will throw another on Friday.

Ketel Marte Batting Second Wednesday

Arizona Diamondbacks infielder/outfielder Ketel Marte is batting second on Wednesday afternoon against the San Diego Padres. Marte has batted sixth all season until now but moves up to a much better lineup spot after swatting his first home run of the season on Tuesday. Marte's new lineup slot only helps his value against San Diego's […]

Daniel Robertson Back In Lineup Wednesday

Tampa Bay Rays second baseman Daniel Robertson (illness) is back in the starting lineup on Wednesday, batting sixth and starting at third base against Rockies starting pitcher German Marquez. Robertson was removed from the last game with an illness, but it obviously proved to be a minor issue. The 25-year-old has only two hits in […]

NL-Only Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 1

Every week in baseball, a significant player will hit the disabled list, slip into a slump, or get traded out of a good spot. How fantasy owners adapt to these situations can make or break the season as a whole. One lousy add might not hurt the long-term standing of a team, but failing to […]

Daniel Robertson Leaves Game With Illness

Tampa Bay Rays second baseman Daniel Robertson (illness) was removed during the second inning of Tuesday's game against Colorado. The team announced the illness but did not disclose any more about the departure. He was pinch hit for by infielder Brandon Lowe.

As always, match-ups will play an important role in […]

Adam Jones Goes Deep Yet Again

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Adam Jones is enjoying his first week in the National League.
