Buy or Sell - Undervalued and Overvalued Players for Week 20

If your league doesn't have a trade deadline before September (or at all), you still have plenty of time to wheel and deal for the playoff stretch. Most of us, however, are up against Father Time and his ceaseless battle to rob us of our most precious commodity. If you're in the market to make […]

Manny Machado is Out of the Lineup Friday

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Manny Machado (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Colorado Rockies. Fantasy owners don't need to worry because Machado is just getting a rest day on Friday. Chris Taylor will draw the start at shortstop and bat sixth versus righty Jon Gray. Taylor can be avoided […]

Matt Kemp is Not Starting on Friday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Matt Kemp (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Colorado Rockies. Kemp is hitting .167/.154/.250 in his career off Jon Gray, so it's not surprising to see him getting the day off. Joc Pederson will lead off and play left field versus Gray. Pederson is always […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (8/10/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

We've got a big 14-game slate on deck for this evening and it looks pretty interesting as there is just one five-digit priced pitcher and a handful of others from that "good/great but not elite" tier. The Nationals and Cubs are the matinee and the other 28 teams will be playing under the lights in […]

Kenta Maeda An Option In Closer's Role?

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Kenta Maeda could be moved to the bullpen after his start against the Rockies on Friday with closer Kenley Jansen out for a month with an irregular heartbeat. The Dodgers could use Maeda in the ninth inning to share save chances with reliever Scott Alexander. Maeda has been solid as […]

Trey Mancini (1B/OF, BAL) - Week 20 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 29% of leagues ANALYSIS: Baltimore Orioles first baseman/outfielder Trey Mancini came busting into the league in 2017 hitting .293 with 24 HR and 78 RBI. He was given a hard dose of reality in 2018, as he is hitting a terribly low .231, pulled down partially […]

Nick Ahmed (SS, ARI) - Week 20 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 27% of leagues ANALYSIS: Arizona Diamondbacks infielder Nick Ahmed has been solid over the last few weeks, but a roster crunch may see his playing time go down. The Diamondbacks’ infield is going to get crowded once Jake Lamb returns from the disabled list after Arizona acquired Eduardo Escobar at […]

Kenley Jansen Expected To Miss A Month

Los Angeles Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen is expected to miss a month while recovering from an irregular heartbeat, per MLB.com's Anne Rogers. Jansen was hospitalized prior to Thursday's game.

Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman Brian Dozier went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Thursday's 8-5 win over the Rockies. Dozier took Wade Davis deep in the ninth inning to add some insurance runs to the Dodgers' lead. The 31-year-old has been on fire since joining his new team, posting a .308/.438/.769 slash line […]

Max Muncy Hits Pinch-Hit Homer Thursday

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Max Muncy joined in the home run parade on Thursday against the Rockies, hitting a pinch-hit solo shot in the seventh inning off of Scott Oberg. The success was nice to see, as Muncy has struggled mightily in the second half of the season, hitting just .197 with nine RBI in […]

Cody Bellinger Crushes Two-Run Home Run Thursday

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman/outfielder Cody Bellinger went 2-for-5 with a single, a two-run home run, and a stolen base in Thursday's 8-5 win over the Rockies.

Week 20 MLB Closers and Saves Report

The dust finally settled after the trade deadline, and teams are starting to set their bullpens and pitching rotations up for the stretch run.

Kenley Jansen Out For Rest Of Rockies Series

Los Angeles Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen suffered from an irregular heartbeat on Thursday and was taken to a local hospital, according to manager Dave Roberts. Jansen will return to Los Angeles and will miss the rest of the series against the Rockies this weekend. Roberts said Jansen's condition is stable. It's a concerning issue, but […]

Kenley Jansen Under The Weather

Los Angeles Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen (illness) is under the weather on Thursday and will not be available out of the bullpen. It's nothing to worry about. Jansen started off slow but has rebounded and sports a 2.15 ERA, 0.90 WHIP, 10.1 K/9 and 32 saves in 51 outings this year. He could be back […]

Joc Pederson, Yasiel Puig Sitting Out on Thursday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielders Joc Pederson and Yasiel Puig are out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Colorado Rockies. Kike Hernandez will bat sixth and play center field, while Chris Taylor bats eighth and starts in left field versus lefty Tyler Anderson. Taylor might be a cheap option in DFS contests, but […]

Julio Urias To Pitch For Single-A Friday

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Julio Urias (shoulder) will pitch for Single-A Rancho Cucamonga on Friday. Urias is getting closer to pitching in the big leagues again after having left shoulder surgery 13 months ago. However, the young lefty should only be owned in dynasty leagues, as he's expected to pitch out of the bullpen […]

Ross Stripling Activated From DL

The Los Angeles Dodgers activated starting pitcher Ross Stripling (toe) from the 10-day disabled list on Thursday and optioned relief pitcher Pat Venditte to Triple-A Oklahoma City in a corresponding move.

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner went 2-for-5 with a single and a double in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the A's.
