Andrew Benintendi Not Playing Sunday
Boston Red Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi (side) is not in the starting lineup on Sunday and is being listed as day-to-day. J.D. Martinez will move over the left field and is hitting cleanup against Padres left-handed starter Joey Lucchesi. It made even more sense to sit Benintendi with the team facing a southpaw. Martinez has […]
Brock Holt Hits Go-Ahead Homer
Boston Red Sox infielder Brock Holt went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and two runs scored in Saturday's win over the Padres. Holt's solo shot in the top of the ninth gave Boston the go-ahead 5-4 lead. It was his second home run of the week but just the third of the year. Despite […]
Christian Vazquez Drives In Two Against Padres

Mookie Betts Extends Hitting Streak To Nine Games
Boston Red Sox right fielder Mookie Betts went 2-for-5 with a run batted in during Saturday's 5-4 win over the Padres. The 26-year-old got Boston on the board in the first with an RBI-single before roping his 38th double in the top of the ninth. Betts has been a little more average after an incredible […]
Brandon Workman Picks Up Eighth Save
Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Brandon Workman delivered a scoreless ninth inning to earn his eighth save in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Padres. While Workman recorded all three outs via the strikeout, but he also walked two hitters in the appearances. Nonetheless, he is Boston's closer for the time being and has been very […]
Matt Barnes Records Fourth Win
Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Matt Barnes earned the win after a scoreless eighth inning in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Padres.

J.D. Martinez Continues Assault on Month of August
Boston outfielder and perennial crusher of lasers, J.D. Martinez had disappointed his owners this season with a lackluster first-half. But Martinez has absolutely dominated the last month and hit two more home runs on Friday night in an 11-0 win over the Padres, giving him 30 HR for the season. Over his last 25 games, […]

David Price To Throw Simulated Game Tuesday
Boston Red Sox starting pitcher David Price (wrist) is scheduled to throw a simulated game on Tuesday. It was initially believed that Price could return as soon as this weekend against the Padres, but he'll have to wait until next weekend against the Angels now. The veteran left-hander was much better in the first half […]
Jackie Bradley Jr. Sitting Versus Padres
Boston Red Sox outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr. (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the San Diego Padres. The Red Sox are without a designated hitter in this series, so JBJ will take a sit. He'll likely sit out throughout most of the series, so fantasy owners should seek other options […]
David Price Likely To Return Sunday
Boston Red Sox starting pitcher David Price (wrist) is likely to make his return to the rotation Sunday when the Red Sox face off against the Padres. Fantasy owners are hoping Price can pitch the way he had been before the All-Star break when he pitched to the tune of a 3.16 ERA and 1.15 […]
MLB DFS Prop Picks for 8/23/19 - Monkey Knife Fight
One of the interesting aspects of the ups and downs that come with a long Major League Baseball season is that production tends to fluctuate. For some players, their greatness lies in their consistency. Mike Trout, for example, has a .448 on-base percentage in August, which is excellent, yet only slightly better than the .438 […]

Champ or Chump: Will Smith and Rafael Devers
The end of August is always something of a turning point for this column. Many roto leagues are basically over, while owners in H2H formats are either waiting for their playoffs to start or looking ahead to next season. Waiver wires tend to be fairly barren even if your league is still competitive, and your […]
