Week 14 Waiver Wire - Second Base (2B) and Shortstop (SS)

We're roughly at the halfway mark on the 2018 season. It seems like just yesterday we were drafting Jonathan Schoop in the top 50 and excitedly investing in a breakout for Jorge Polanco. As always, much has changed in a few short months. But you know what hasn't? Every Sunday until the end of the […]

Los Angeles Dodgers super utility man Kike Hernandez went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Rockies.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Kenta Maeda took his fifth loss of the season on Saturday against the Rockies, allowing three runs (two earned) on five hits (including a solo home run) and two walks with nine strikeouts in seven innings.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (6/29/18): MLB DFS Lineups

Week 14 Waiver Wire: H2H Category Streamers

I like to consider myself a pioneer of the streaming approach. I won a league about seven years ago completely ignoring saves and just stacking up the starts each week. While streaming is undoubtedly more directly associated with pitching, there's plenty of value in streaming for offense as well. Maybe you have a stacked roster […]

Justin Turner Hits Two-Run Home Run Thursday

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Thursday's 11-5 loss to the Cubs.

Walker Buehler Pitches Disastrous Inning Thursday

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Walker Buehler pitched a poor sixth inning in Thursday's game against the Cubs. Buehler, who had just returned from the disabled list with a rib injury, made a relief appearance rather than make another minor league start. The 23-year-old rookie allowed five runs on five hits (including a solo home […]

Dodgers The Favorites To Land Manny Machado

The Los Angeles Dodgers are reportedly the front-runners to trade for Baltimore Orioles shortstop Manny Machado, per USA Today's Bob Nightengale. Machado will become an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season, so the Orioles will likely trade him before the July 31 non-waiver deadline in order to get something in return rather […]

Matt Kemp Will Serve Suspension on Wednesday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Matt Kemp will serve his one-game suspension on Wednesday against the Cubs. Kemp was handed a one-game suspension for his actions during a game with the Rangers on June 13. Joc Pederson will play left field on Wednesday.
