J.D. Martinez Gets Rest Day

Boston Red Sox designated hitter J.D. Martinez (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's matchup against the Miami Marlins. This sounds like a routine day off for the 33-year-old slugger. He had started each of the last four games prior to this matchup. Alex Verdugo will take over as the DH and bat […]

Catchers to Stream - Week 10 Waiver Wire

It's your resident catcher advocate here, with my weekly defense for baseball's most maligned position. Instead of giving into easy narratives about the lack of talent at the catcher position and how they're the kickers of fantasy baseball, I'm here to create a place where catchers are celebrated for how they can help our teams. […]

1B and 3B Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 10

This weekend marked the triumphant return of CI-eligible Cody Bellinger. He was likely the highest drafted or most costly CI a team selected to start the season. Bellinger was out since April 5 with a broken leg. He was off to a terribly slow start, but the sample size was small enough to read nothing […]

2B and SS Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 10

Injuries have been a plague upon Major League Baseball from the jump this year; middle infielders haven't been spared, so things are looking a bit thin out there on the ol' waiver wire. You can still find help, though, and that's the goal of this exercise. Most of the players who will be written up […]

This is Renfroe's third straight multi-hit game, as he's gone 7-for-11 with 14 total bases in that span. Renfroe is generally a single-category fantasy producer with his power game, but he could […]

Rafael Devers Has Three Hits, Scores Twice

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers has been excellent all season, but he's been even better of late. In Saturday afternoon's contest, Devers went 3-for-4 with two doubles and two runs scored. In his last seven games, Devers is slashing .333/.379/.852 with three home runs and 23 total bases in 27 at-bats. He's never […]

FanDuel MLB Lineup Picks (5/29/21): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

We have a tiny little four-game slate tonight on FanDuel, which means we'll want to get creative if we're looking to differentiate in tournaments. It's a little bit of an odd group of games as only one team, the Cardinals, has an implied total over five runs. Thankfully, there are a few non-obvious teams (and […]

Colten Brewer Added To Red Sox Roster

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Colten Brewer was added to the major league roster prior to Friday night's contest against the Miami Marlins, taking the spot vacated by recently-demoted outfielder Franchy Cordero. Brewer will slot into the team's bullpen, but does not currently stand to be a factor for fantasy purposes.

Hunter Renfroe Heating Up With Two Doubles Friday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Hunter Renfroe had a perfect night at the plate Friday, going 2-for-2 with two doubles, both of which came off right-handed Miami Marlins starter Cody Poteet. Renfroe came around to score on both occasions. Renfroe has been excellent over his last seven games, producing a .292/.346/.542 slash line with a homer […]

Alex Verdugo Hits Game-Winning Home Run

Boston Red Sox outfielder Alex Verdugo hit a game-winning three-run home run in the bottom of the fifth inning against the Miami Marlins Friday night. The blast came off Marlins starter Cody Poteet and gives Verdugo seven round-trippers on the year. It was his only hit of the game. Verdugo has been crushing the ball […]

Adam Ottavino Records Save, Remains Top Setup Option

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Adam Ottavino recorded his second save of the year Friday night against the Miami Marlins, pitching the sixth and final inning in the rain-shortened contest. Ottavino struggled to grip the ball amidst the downpour, walking three batters but also striking out two to somehow escape the inning unscathed. Despite the […]

Martin Perez Picks Up Rain-Shortened Win

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Martin Perez won Friday night's rain-shortened game against the Miami Marlins after throwing five innings of two-run ball. He allowed five hits and somehow walked none despite the difficult conditions. He also registered four strikeouts. Perez has been very solid this year and sits in the wide tier of streamable […]

Bobby Dalbec Sitting Friday; Will Start Next Two Games

Boston Red Sox first baseman Bobby Dalbec is out of the lineup Friday against the Miami Marlins and right-handed starting pitcher Cody Poteet. Danny Santana will man first base in his place.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (5/28/21): MLB DFS Lineups
