Two-Start Pitcher Streamers for Fantasy Baseball - Week 8
This week presents a lot of high-risk/high-reward streaming options that could swing either way. There are also a couple of pitchers that I feel strongly about based on their upcoming schedule and recent trends. Every streamer brings a degree of risk, which is why they are available on the waiver wire in the first place. […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (5/28/22): MLB DFS Lineups
Jeffrey Springs did his thing! The Rays couldn't get him a win, but he pitched six strong innings and gave up just two runs (both on solo home runs). I was heavily invested in his success in DFS and the prop market, so I was happy to see that, and I featured him in yesterday's […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (5/27/22): Today's Top MLB DFS Lineups
After another high-scoring slate last night it seems like the bats around the league are finally warming up.

Here we […]
Andrew Heaney Continues To Make Progress
Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Andrew Heaney (shoulder) could face hitters at extended spring training Sunday. He threw innings off a mound on Thursday and could face live hitters for the first time since mid-April. The 30-year-old continues to make progress but has no clear timetable for a return. He has been sidelined for over a […]
Tony Gonsolin's Start Moved To Saturday
Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Tony Gonsolin will start Saturday against the Arizona Diamondbacks. He was initially slated to start Friday's contest but was pushed back a day.

Free-agent right-hander Shane Greene signed with the New York Yankees on Thursday and was assigned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

The 33-year-old veteran reliever pitched two scoreless innings for the Dodgers, but he had allowed five earned runs […]
Clayton Kershaw Resumes Throwing
Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw (pelvis) said that he started throwing a few days ago and is out to 90 feet. The 34-year-old left-hander is probably at least a week away from throwing bullpen sessions, and the Dodgers aren't going to rush him back too soon. The eight-time All-Star and three-time Cy Young […]
Max Muncy Could Land On Injured List
Los Angeles Dodgers skipper Dave Roberts said the team is considering placing infielder Max Muncy (elbow) on the injured list. Roberts said Muncy's elbow "just hasn't been right," and he aggravated it on a couple defensive plays recently. The 31-year-old suffered a partially torn UCL down the stretch last year and underwent offseason surgery. Muncy's […]
Cody Bellinger Returns From Illness
Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Cody Bellinger (illness) is back in center field and is hitting seventh on Thursday night against Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Humberto Castellanos. Bellinger was scratched from the lineup due to a non-COVID-19 illness on Tuesday and he also missed Wednesday's contest.
