Jim Adduci is Out on Monday

Detroit Tigers first baseman/outfielder Jim Adduci (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Houston Astros. Adduci has put together a fairly solid campaign, but does not hold value in any fantasy leagues right now. Niko Goodrum will slide over to first base and bat fifth versus righty Justin Verlander. Goodrum […]

Jose Iglesias To See Specialist Tuesday

Detroit Tigers shortstop Jose Iglesias (abdomen) will visit with core muscle/groin specialist Dr. William Meyers on Tuesday.

Week 24 Waiver Wire - Second Base (2B) and Shortstop (SS)

Just three weeks remain in the 2018 fantasy baseball season. Given my personal trials and tribulations this year, I can’t say I’m sorry to see it end – at least, not until the offseason begins. Kudos to you for remaining in the hunt at this late juncture. I wish your teams better fortune than mine […]

Tigers Add Christin Stewart

Detroit also called up catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia and reliever Zac […]

Jose Iglesias May Not Return This Year

Detroit Tigers shortstop Jose Iglesias (abdomen) has not improved from his lower abdominal strain. "He hasn't done anything on the field, anything like that," manager Ron Gardenhire said. He still feels it. If he sat out 3-4 weeks, then how much can you really do the last week or 10 days?" It's now looking unlikely […]

Buy or Sell - Undervalued and Overvalued Players for Week 24

The baseball season is on its last legs, but it's never too late to buy or sell from the plethora of talented players available in fantasy baseball waiver pools.

Jose Iglesias To Come Off DL Sunday Or Monday

Detroit Tigers shortstop Jose Iglesias (abdomen) is on track to come off the disabled list on Sunday or Monday, barring setbacks.

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (9/3/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

While having all 30 teams in action is a welcomed development for this Monday slate, FanDuel unfortunately broke up the slate so that there isn't the majority of games unless you play the all day slate (which doesn't offer major tournaments).
