Miguel Cabrera Drives In Five In Win

Detroit Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera went 3-for-4 with a run, a walk, an intentional walk, and five RBI in the 9-5 win over the Baltimore Orioles. Cabrera has really started to heat up as of late, as he now is hitting .389 with two home runs, nine runs, 12 RBI, and a 1.095 OPS […]

Jeimer Candelario Back In Lineup Friday

Detroit Tigers third baseman Jeimer Candelario (wrist) is back in the lineup at third base and is hitting second against Orioles starter Chris Tillman on Friday. Candelario developed some wrist soreness after the doubleheader Wednesday and sat out Thursday, but it's clearly not a big issue. The rookie at the hot corner has been swinging […]

Jeimer Candelario Had Sore Wrist Thursday

Detroit Tigers rookie third baseman Jeimer Candelario (wrist) was out of the lineup Thursday with a sore left wrist. “I guess he had a wrist problem last year,” manager Ron Gardenhire said. “It’s something they can’t do anything about.” The injury isn't believed to be serious, so Candelario could be back in the lineup Friday. […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (4/27/18): MLB DFS Lineups

We have another “lefty day” on our DraftKings slate. There are 13 southpaws toeing the rubber for the start of their games on Friday. The Cubs are facing a left-handed pitcher, however we won’t be able to exploit that matchup. The MIL/CHC game starts at 2:20pm and will be excluded from the DK featured slate. […]

Can the Surprising Detroit Tigers Sustain Their Early Success?

In 2006, Detroit Tigers first baseman Chris Shelton had a ridiculous April, amassing a .326/.404/.783 line with 10 home runs and 20 RBI in the first month of the season. He hit just six more home runs over the next three months before ultimately being demoted to Triple-A Toledo. All that is to say, Tigers […]

Holds Leagues - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds for Week 5

While holds are even tougher to predict than saves, the players we’ll highlight today include some elite setup men to target off the waiver wire in Week 4. Bottom line: the more likely an MLB team is to win, the more likely these pitchers will be eligible to earn the holds that could be the […]

Matthew Boyd Roughed Up By Pirates

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Matthew Boyd couldn't escape the third inning on Wednesday, turning in his worst outing of the young season. Boyd had entered Wednesday's game with three consecutive starts in which he went at least six innings and allowed no more than one run, so this performance against a sputtering Pittsburgh offense comes […]

Leonys Martin Launches Two Homers Wednesday

Detroit Tigers outfielder Leonys Martin is having himself a productive 2018 campaign atop the Tigers batting order, and Wednesday was no exception to that fact. Martin started both games of Detroit's doubleheader with Pittsburgh and homered in each game, doubling his season total. Martin's plate discipline has helped him out thus far, with his .341 […]

Shane Greene Fires Perfect Inning For Save

Detroit Tigers closer Shane Greene worked a perfect ninth inning on Wednesday to hold off the Pirates and secure the victory, earning his fourth save in the process. Greene had previously blown his last two save opportunities, so it was good for him to get back on track. Greene has a 3.72 ERA and 11 strikeouts […]

Miguel Cabrera Continues Hot Streak With Four Hits

Detroit Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera added four hits to his season total on Wednesday against the Pirates. The veteran slugger played only the first game of the doubleheader, but did his part to contribute to Detroit's 13-run outburst by driving in two runs and scoring three of his own. Miggy has been ridiculous over […]

Nick Castellanos Collects Five Hits And Five RBI

Detroit Tigers right fielder Nick Castellanos had himself a day on Wednesday as the Tigers played back-to-back games against the Pirates. Castellanos started both games of the doubleheader and propelled the Tigers offense in both, notching five hits, scoring two runs, slugging a homer and driving in five runs on the day. He has really […]

Jeimer Candelario Scores Six Runs In Doubleheader

Detroit Tigers third baseman Jeimer Candelario had an incredible day at the dish on Wednesday in a doubleheader against Pittsburgh. On the day, Candelario collected four hits, a home run, an RBI, and six runs scored. The majority of the damage was done in Game 1, in which the youngster finished a triple shy of […]

Week 4 Waiver Wire: Catchers

It's been a beautiful time for fantasy catcher owners - Kansas City Royals catcher Salavador Perez is back. Now the main mission for the Royals is to not let him carry his suitcase for the rest of the season. The distance between those who are at 50% ownership in Yahoo! (er... Oath?) fantasy leagues and those […]

Miguel Cabrera Not in Lineup for Tigers Second Game of Doubleheader

Detroit Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera is sitting in Game 2 of the team's doubleheader. He shined for Detroit in Game 1 with three doubles. Niko Goodrum will take his place at first and bat cleanup. The future Hall of Famer is batting .300 with two home runs and 14 RBI so far this season. […]

Jeimer Candelario (3B, DET) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 17% of Yahoo leagues ANALYSIS: Fantasy owners have been tripping over themselves whilst rushing to the waiver wire to snag Miguel Andujar, but there's another American League rookie third baseman worthy of consideration. Jeimer Candelario has recorded at least one hit in eight of his last nine games, […]

Teoscar Hernandez (OF, TOR) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 50% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Blue Jays brought in multiple outfielders from outside the organization this winter, but that wasn't enough to keep Teoscar Hernandez down on the farm for long. Acquired from Houston at the trade deadline in exchange for Francisco Liriano, the 25-year-old hit eight home runs […]

Victor Martinez Limited For Next Three Games

Detroit Tigers designated hitter Victor Martinez will be available to pinch hit, but not much else, as the Tigers will be spending the next three games in a National League ballpark. The veteran slugger does not play a defensive position, and will therefore be a non-factor from a fantasy perspective. It's not a bad time […]

JaCoby Jones Batting Fifth Wednesday

The Detroit Tigers red-hot outfielder JaCoby Jones is batting fifth for the Tigers as they take on the Pirates on Wednesday in the first game of a doubleheader. Over the last seven games, Jones has amassed a .375 average with two homers, five RBI and one stolen base, exciting Tigers fans and fantasy owners in the […]

Christin Stewart Picks Up Four Hits Tuesday

Detroit Tigers outfield prospect Christin Stewart went 4-for-5 with a home run on Tuesday for Triple-A Toledo. Stewart is one of the best power bats in the minor leagues and hit 58 home runs over the past two years. Stewart isn’t the strongest defensive player, but his bat should certainly make up for it at the […]

Matthew Boyd Draws A Favorable Matchup For Wednesday

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Matthew Boyd will toe the rubber Wednesday evening in the second game of a doubleheader against the Pittsburgh Pirates. It looks to be a nice matchup for the young lefty, who has gotten off to an excellent start by throwing six or more innings of one-run ball in each of his […]

Jordan Zimmermann Will Start Game 1 Of Doubleheader

Following Tuesday's rainout in Pittsburgh, Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Jordan Zimmermann will take the hill Wednesday in the first game of a doubleheader. Zimmermann has been roughed up to the tune of a 7.71 ERA on the season through his first four starts and is not recommended as a fantasy option at this point.

Tigers-Pirates Postponed on Tuesday

The two teams will make it up in a traditional doubleheader on Wednesday, with the first pitch expected at 4:05 pm. The two starting pitchers from Tuesday's game, Chad Kuhl for the Pirates and Jordan Zimmermann for the Tigers, will […]
