Cincinnati Reds second baseman Jose Peraza went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in an 8-3 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday. Peraza connected for the two-run blast in the ninth inning, after the game was out of hand. The young infielder has really struggled this season, hitting .203 with four homers, 14 runs, […]

Yasiel Puig Lifted After Apparent Arm Injury

The Cincinnati Reds were forced to pull outfielder Yasiel Puig early from their game on Sunday after he made an outstanding catch down the right field line. He crashed hard into the wall and was favoring his arm afterwards resulting in his removal from the game. Puig was 0-for-3 on the afternoon against Dodgers starter […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (5/18/19): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

It's Saturday and that means us baseball fans are treated to a full 15-game slate. Luckily, we only have one forecast to worry about and that happens to be the Texas-St. Louis game. Unfortunately, that's one of the highest totals on the slate and it'll be critical to monitor that forecast prior to submitting lineups. […]

Jose Peraza is Resting on Saturday

Cincinnati Reds infielder Jose Peraza (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Peraza continues to struggle with the bat, so he'll sit the bench in this one. Derek Dietrich will draw the start at second base and bat sixth versus righty Walker Buehler. Dietrich doesn't have much […]

Rest of Season Catcher Rankings - May Update

We wrap up our midseason rankings update for mixed leagues with the catcher position. RotoBaller writers Nick Mariano, Pierre Camus, Bill Dubiel and Scott Engel recently updated their rest-of-season ranks and we're here to break it all down. Unfortunately, catcher is still an utter cesspool when it comes to fantasy production, so don't convince yourself […]

Franmil Reyes and the Javy Baez School of Hard Knocks

For almost a month straight, Franmil Reyes did not take a walk. While that’s not a good thing, I’m not convinced that it’s a bad thing either. Since April 18th, Franmil Reyes has hit nine home runs, and that is definitely a good thing. Reyes’ carrying tool is his power. Walks don’t provide him a path […]

Buy or Sell - Undervalued and Overvalued Players for Week 8

We are at the quarter mark of the fantasy season and things are starting to figure themselves out. For example, Kris Bryant has seemingly found his stroke and shut the window closed on buy-low opportunities. Several other players around the league are also beginning to find their groove, yet there are still a few inefficiencies […]

The Waiver Wire Watch List: Week 8

As important as it is to be active on the waiver wire, snagging that next hot bat or pitcher on a roll before anyone else can, let's be honest--there are only so many roster spots. That's why your watch list is just as important as your waiver wire activity, and perhaps even more so. Throughout […]

Anthony DeSclafani Struggles On Friday

Cincinnati Reds right-hander Anthony DeSclafani struggled in a 6-0 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday. DeSclafani allowed four runs in four innings of work while striking out three. The veteran right-hander had trouble keeping the ball in the park as he coughed up three home runs to the Los Angeles hitters. DeSclafani had […]

Jesse Winker Out Against Lefty

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Jesse Winker is not in the starting lineup on Friday against Dodgers left-handed starting pitcher Rich Hill. Jose Peraza is starting in left field and is hitting eighth, while Kyle Farmer is at the keystone and batting sixth. Neither Peraza nor Farmer have done much of anything at the plate this year […]

Rest of Season Third Base Rankings - May Update

Now that we are midway through May, it's a perfect time to update our Rest-of-Season mixed rankings and provide some analysis. RotoBaller writers Nick Mariano, Pierre Camus, Bill Dubiel and Scott Engel want you to crush the competition and know that rankings can't end on draft day. Third base has been hit-and-miss in the early […]

Nick Senzel Steals A Base In Win

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Nick Senzel went 2-for-5 with a run and a steal in a 4-2 win over the Chicago Cubs on Thursday. Senzel is off to a solid start to his MLB career, hitting .250 with three homers, nine runs, seven RBI, and four steals. He has been hitting leadoff for the Reds, a […]

Castillo had his start cut short by a one-hour rain delay and wound up pitching just 5 1/3 innings. After the rain delay, reliever Michael Lorenzen replaced Castillo on the mound. The […]

The MLB has blessed up with a huge Friday slate, consisting of 15 games. We have plenty of things to go through, but will be focused on one expensive and one affordable pitcher.

Jesse Winker Batting Sixth vs. Lefty

Cincinnati Reds right fielder Jesse Winker is in the lineup Thursday against left-handed Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Jose Quintana. Winker has sat against lefties more often than not so far this season, but gets the nod this time. Although this matchup should be avoided in DFS, the more often Winker gets into the lineup against […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (5/16/19): MLB DFS Lineups

Thursday brings us another 10 game slate, but frustratingly once again with a split, and weirdly with one game (BAL @ CLE) missing off both slates entirely.

Alex Wood Could Resume Throwing Next Week

Cincinnati Reds pitcher Alex Wood (back) could resume throwing as early as next week. Wood has missed all of the 2019 season due to back issues. The Reds currently don't have a timetable for his return. He'll likely need a few rehab appearances before he's able to return to the Major League roster. We'll see […]

Yasiel Puig Hitting Fifth On Wednesday

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Yasiel Puig is hitting fifth in the Reds lineup against the Cubs on Wednesday. Jesse Winker will take over cleanup duties against righty Yu Darvish. After a rough start to the season, Puig has hit three homers and stole four bases in the past two weeks. This is much more of what […]
