FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (3/31/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

We have a split slate of games, which is normal for a Saturday, but I will be focusing in on the 7pm main slate, as it's larger. Plenty of good options across the board, and whether you are looking for cash game players, or some that are more GPP focused, you will find them on […]

Matt Davidson (1B/3B) - Week 1 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 40% of leagues ANALYSIS: Davidson hit three home runs on Opening Day, in case you missed that. He is a poor defender and has some pretty crummy contact skills, leading some to want Yolmer Sanchez playing third for the South Siders instead (sorry, I wrongfully called them the […]

Nate Jones (RP, CHW) - Week 1 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Saves Leagues OWNED IN: 37% of leagues ANALYSIS: Back then, pros didn’t want him. Now he’s hot, pros all on him. That was a stretch and I don’t care, Nate Jones is for real (when he’s healthy) and should prove much more reliable and effective than Joakim Soria in the ninth inning. […]

Carlos Rodon Progressing Well

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Carlos Rodon (shoulder) has been progressing well since the start of Spring Training. White Sox general manager Rick Hahn spoke about Rodon and how he has completed every step of his recovery so far, and the club has even moved his timeline up a couple of days. Rodon has thrown […]

Tim Anderson Hits Two Home Runs

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson was 2-for-4 with two home runs, three RBI and three runs scored. Anderson was dealing with a sore shoulder near the end of spring, but appears to be fully recovered. Aside from the all around effort, the most impressive stat was his ability to draw a walk. Anderson’s kryptonite […]

Matt Davidson Connects For Three Home Runs

Chicago White Sox designated hitter Matt Davidson connected for three home runs on Thursday and finished 3-for-4 with a walk. Davidson has always had a powerful bat, but aside from home runs, Davidson doesn’t offer much else. He is a worth a look for owners who are looking for power and stomach his career .224 […]

Jose Abreu Hits First Home Run

Chicago White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu connected for his first home run of the season on Thursday. Abreu finished the game 2-for-5 with two runs scored and two RBI. He remains one of the best power threats in the game and there should be plenty of more home runs in his future.

James Shields Settles Down After Rough First Inning

After a rough first inning in which Chicago White Sox starting pitcher James Shields allowed four runs, the right-hander settled down and pitched five scoreless innings, allowing no hits. Shields did not record a strikeout and walked one batter. It’s nice to see Shields settle in after a rough start, but he is no longer […]

Week 1 Waiver Wire: 25-50% Owned Pickups

Hector Santiago Breaks Camp With White Sox

Pitcher Hector Santiago will be on the Opening Day roster for the Chicago White Sox. Santiago has been a starting pitcher throughout his career but will operate out of the bullpen to start 2018. Santiago can be avoided in all formats as long as he's coming out of the bullpen.

Kevan Smith Placed On Disabled List

Chicago White Sox catcher Kevan Smith (ankle) has been placed on the 10-day disabled list. Smith suffered the ankle injury on March 20. Smith was in a battle with Omar Narvaez to back up starting catcher Welington Castillo. He holds no value for fantasy owners at this point.

Carlos Rodon Placed On Disabled List

The Chicago White Sox have placed starting pitcher Carlos Rodon (shoulder) on the 10-day disabled list. As expected, Rodon will not be on the Opening Day roster. The left-hander has been throwing on flat ground but isn’t expected back until June. He is worth a stash for owners who have a spot in deeper leagues.

Reynaldo Lopez Finishes Spring Strong

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Reynaldo Lopez will pitch the third game of the season for the White Sox. Lopez got off to a slow start this spring but finished on a high note, giving up one run over his last three appearances. Lopez is worth a dart throw at the end of drafts, but […]

Outfielders Returning from Injury - 2018 Undervalued ADP Targets

Getting tagged "injury prone" can mean a lot of things to fantasy owners. The floor for a guy sitting on the DL is just that: the floor. A big fat goose egg at a position of importance can crater a season, and the guys in this piece all contributed to their fair share of zeros […]

Nick Delmonico To Work Out Wednesday

Chicago White Sox outfielder Nick Delmonico (hamstring) plans to work out on Wednesday. Delmonico has been dealing with a hamstring issue over the past week and was held out of the lineup for precautionary reasons. Delmonico is expected to be ready for Opening Day.

Tim Anderson To Work Out Wednesday

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson (shoulder) plans to work out on Wednesday. Anderson hurt his shoulder this past week and has been held out of the lineup for precautionary reasons. He should be good to go for Opening Day and offers owners a power and speed option at shortstop.

Alec Hansen To Start In Double-A

Chicago White Sox starting pitching prospect Alec Hansen will begin the 2018 season in Double-A Birmingham. Hansen is one of the top pitching prospects for the White Sox but has carried injury risk throughout his young career. Hanson is unlikely to make an impact in 2018, but if all goes well, he could be in […]

On the Rebound - Starters Coming Back from Injury in 2018

As owners prepare for draft day, one strategy many owners will use is drafting pitchers who are returning from significant injuries. These pitchers will likely be undervalued because of their injuries, and if they can return to their pre-injury norm they can end up being a steal in a draft. For the following starters working […]

Tim Anderson And Nick Delmonico Remain Out

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson (shoulder) and outfielder Nick Delmonico (thigh) remain out of Monday’s lineup. Both players are being rested as a precautionary measure and are expected to be ready for Opening Day. Anderson offers more upside with both power and speed, while Delmonico is worth a roster spot in AL-only leagues and […]

Luis Robert To Start 2018 In Single-A

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert (thumb) will begin 2018 in Single-A Winston-Salem. One of the top prospects in the organization, Robert, 20, was having a nice spring before going down with a sprained thumb. Robert is out at least six more weeks. Although he won’t help fantasy owners in the near future, Robert is […]

Nick Delmonico And Tim Anderson Rest Sunday

Chicago White Sox manager Rick Renteria decided to give a day off to outfielder Nick Delmonico and shortstop Tim Anderson as both are dealing with minor soreness. Anderson hurt his shoulder while diving for a ball, while Delmonico is dealing with a hamstring issue. Both players should be good to go for Opening Day.

ADP Sleepers and Busts: First Basemen

This is the time of year when most average draft positions are generally appropriate and reasonable. We’re quickly approaching Opening Day and most players are sitting right where they should be, but there are a few value opportunities that look too good to pass up. At the same time, however, a few guys are still […]

Adam Engel Ready For Opening Day

After dealing with neck stiffness, Chicago White Sox outfielder Adam Engel said he’s “ready to rock” after playing in Friday’s contest. Engel has been tearing it up this spring and will be in center field on a regular basis for the White Sox. With how well he hit this spring, Engel is a worth a […]

Nate Jones Likely To Close For White Sox

Daryl Van Schouwen of The Chicago Sun-Times reports that relief pitcher Nate Jones is likely to open the season as the White Sox closer. Jones underwent season-sending elbow surgery last July and appeared in just 11 games. Van Schouwen notes that the White Sox are unlikely to overuse Jones and reliever Joakim Soria could also […]
