DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (7/29/22): Today's Top MLB DFS Lineups

Last night was not the night to fade the Dodgers in Coors, as they hung 13 on the Rockies as chalk and in doing so kept a bunch of my lineups from cashing in the process. We will have to make the tough decision to play or fade (or at least which specific Dodgers to […]

Closer Stashes for the Trade Deadline: Florio's MLB Bullpen Report

I have been talking about the trade deadline and the reliever shakeup we are (still) guaranteed to see. By this point, you may be thinking of me as the boy who cried wolf, but the trades are coming - the market has just been slow to develop.  But by the time you click on this […]

Sneaky Fantasy Trade Candidates Worth Acquiring Ahead of the MLB Deadline

Everyone is talking about Juan Soto or Willson Contreras being moved and it's fun to speculate on where superstar and All-Star level players could be moved. The truth is in fantasy baseball, someone in your league already has these players and they are going to play every day regardless of where they play. But what […]

Wily Peralta Earns Save In First Rehab Outing

Detroit Tigers right-hander Wily Peralta (hamstring) made his first rehab appearance at Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday. He pitched a scoreless ninth inning, allowing two hits and no walks while striking out three. He wound up earning a save for his efforts.

Matt Manning Likely To Make Next Start With Tigers

Detroit Tigers right-hander Matt Manning (biceps, shoulder) had a strong rehab outing at Triple-A on Wednesday. He pitched 5 2/3 scoreless innings, allowing five hits and two walks while striking out six. It's been a long rehab journey for Manning, who last pitched in the majors in mid-April. However, it's likely that his next start […]

Spencer Turnbull Won't Pitch In 2022

Detroit Tigers right-hander Spencer Turnbull (elbow) underwent Tommy John surgery last July.

Hinch told the media on Wednesday that Turnbull will not pitch in 2022. He stated […]

Tarik Skubal Made Available By Tigers

According to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, the Detroit Tigers have made a number of players available via trade, including starting pitcher Tarik Skubal. Rosenthal reports that the team has made "just about everyone" available. Skubal would certainly be the team's most intriguing trade target for any playoff competitor looking for rotation help.

Detroit Tigers outfielder Robbie Grossman isn't in the team's lineup on Tuesday for a matchup with the San Diego Padres and right-handed starter Mike Clevinger.

MLB Hitter Studs and Duds - Advanced Metrics Leaders for Expected Batting Average

With the first half of the season in the rearview mirror, when does regression start to hit some of the luckiest and unluckiest batters?

Eric Haase Swats Grand Slam

Detroit Tigers catcher Eric Haase had the biggest swing of the night Monday against the San Diego Padres, as he smacked a grand slam off starting pitcher Sean Manaea in the third inning of a 12-4 victory.

Happy Monday, RotoBallers! Due to the All-Star break, it's been a couple of weeks since we had a Monday slate on our plates. So it's great to kick it back off with 11 games in the featured contests.

Javier Baez Removed During Sunday's Game

Detroit Tigers shortstop Javier Baez (arm) was lifted for a pinch hitter during the sixth inning of Sunday's game against the Minnesota Twins.

Rony Garcia Likely To Miss Time

Detroit Tigers pitcher Rony Garcia (biceps) was forced to exit early during Sunday's game against the Minnesota Twins.

Garcia is expected to be shut down […]

Rony Garcia Exits With Apparent Injury Sunday

Detroit Tigers right-hander Rony Garcia was removed from his start against the Minnesota Twins on Sunday.

Garcia had been activated from the 15-day injured […]
