FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (5/29/18): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

FanDuel opted to break yesterday's games into three different slates. That is not the case tonight, as we have a plethora of games in only one slate. There are 14 total games, meaning we have plenty of options from salary relief to high priced. In this article, I will be providing you with my daily […]

Yimi Garcia Recalled From Triple-A

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Yimi Garcia has been recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday. Edward Paredes has been sent down in order to make room for Garcia on the active roster. Garcia has allowed four runs in 4 2/3 innings this season with the Dodgers. He'll likely work in low-leverage situations, so fantasy […]

Hyun-Jin Ryu Throws Long Toss on Monday

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Hyun-Jin Ryu (groin) played long toss and threw to the catcher off flat ground on Monday. This is the first time Ryu has thrown since he suffered a strained left groin roughly three weeks ago. Manager Dave Roberts said Ryu would be sidelined until the second half, but it appears […]

Tom Koehler Throws Off Mound

Los Angeles Dodgers reliever Tom Koehler (shoulder) is throwing off the mound a few months after being diagnosed with an anterior capsule strain. He was acquired in the offseason to be the bridge to closer Kenley Jansen after spending his career as a starter, but he was sidelined in spring training. No bullpen session is […]

Max Muncy Bats Second Monday, Matt Kemp Sits

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Max Muncy will bat second in the order on Monday against starter Vince Velasquez and the Phillies at home. That moves regular first baseman Cody Bellinger to the outfield for his ninth start. Outfielder Matt Kemp, the team's best hitter, is sitting. Muncy hit a two-run, pinch-hit home run on […]

Max Muncy Crushers Another Homer, Earns Starts At Second Base

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy hit a pinch-hit two-run home run, his sixth of the season. An impressed Dave Roberts mentioned after the game that Muncy will make some starts at second base to keep his bat in the lineup. In just 83 at-bats Muncy has an OPS of .872 and has 14 […]

Walker Buehler Cruises To Another Victory

Los Angeles Dodgers starter Walker Buehler once again victimized the Padres, the team he helped no-hit at the start of the month, on Sunday. He gave up one earned run on four hits, striking out eight and walking none over seven innings. It was the third time in the last four starts where Buehler, who […]

Clayton Kershaw Will Start Thursday

Los Angeles Dodgers starter Clayton Kershaw (bicep) will come off the disabled list on Thursday and start against the Phillies in L.A. Kershaw has been dealing with bicep tendinitis but has ramped up his throwing program through a series of bullpen sessions lately. In his last two outings before hitting the DL, Kershaw struck out […]

The Cut List (Week 9): Time to Let Go?

Welcome to Week 9 of the Cut List. Last week’s cut suggestions were some of the best yet if you ask me. I suggested cutting Jay Bruce, Albert Pujols, Rougned Odor, and Rich Hill and they all continued their poor play. Bruce, Pujols, and Odor went a combined 13-for-64 (.203) and Hill was pulled from […]

Clayton Kershaw Will Throw Simulated Gamed On Saturday

Los Angeles Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw (biceps) is expected to throw 60 pitches in a simulated game on Saturday. Kershaw has been out since May 1 so this is good news for Dodgers fans and fantasy owners. The simulated game will be Kershaw's first time throwing to live hitters since his placement on the disabled […]

MLB Closers and Saves Targets for Week 9

More injuries, more committees, more problems, right? This week featured an under-the-radar elite closer hitting the disabled list, a very much average temporary closer hitting the skids, and a formerly solid closer seemingly returning to form. Oh, and a rookie threw a pitch 105 miles per hour. Jordan Hicks has been the hardest throwing pitcher […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 44% of leagues ANALYSIS: If Nate Jones is still available in your league, you'll want to move quickly to pick him up.

Ross Stripling (SP/RP, LAD) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 35% of leagues ANALYSIS: After being used as a swingman in 2016, Ross Stripling was employed almost exclusively as a reliever by the Dodgers last year. Like many pitchers, Stripling enjoyed a velocity bump and a corresponding surge in strikeouts upon transitioning to a relief role. Those gains have […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 28% of leagues ANALYSIS: Los Angeles Dodgers utility player Max Muncy is hitless in three of his last four games, but still has a .393 OBP this month and has gotten on base in three of his last four games. Muncy also has a .521 slugging […]

Fantasy Reflections: Jose Altuve Coming Up Short

First of all, let me apologize for the title. (Only because I feel like I should, though...not because I'm actually sorry.) Okay. Jose Altuve. He has been disappointing! I know it, you know it, the American people know it. People who currently can't agree that the sky is blue are capable of setting aside their […]

Kenta Maeda Has Another Dominant Outing

Los Angeles Dodgers starter Kenta Maeda shut out the Rockies on Wednesday over 6 2/3 innings. He allowed only two hits all night, struck out 12 and walked four. It was the second shutout in a row for him since changing his delivery and could portend a possible breakout. See if his owner isn't so […]

Clayton Kershaw Will Throw A Simulated Game Saturday

Los Angeles Dodgers starter Clayton Kershaw (biceps) threw an extended bullpen session of 54 pitches on Wednesday, a great sign of how pain-free he is. He'll next throw a simulated game before likely returning to the rotation next week. Kershaw is recovering from biceps tendinitis but has thrown multiple bullpens in just the last week. […]

Kenley Jansen Earns Fourth Save In Five Days

Los Angeles Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen earned his 10th save of the year on Wednesday against the Rockies and his fourth in five days by striking out the side. He's now brought his ERA down to 2.91 and carries a WHIP of 1.11. Whatever was bothering him at the beginning of the season is long […]

Rich Hill Continues Throwing With Bandaged Finger

Los Angeles Dodgers starter Rich Hill (finger) threw another bullpen session on Wednesday with his finger in a bandage. He's recovering from yet another blister and got his fastball up to 92 mph. Still, it's unlikely he'll return until late June since the league doesn't allow for pitchers to throw with tape or bandages on […]
