New York Yankees designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton (quad) will run the bases and hit before Tuesday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (5/23/21): MLB DFS Lineups

Today's slate is a little more straightforward than yesterday's fragmented one on DraftKings.

Should we pluck both starters from that upper […]

Mike Ford Goes Yard

New York Yankees first baseman Mike Ford swatted his third home run of the season in Saturday's 7-0 win over the Chicago White Sox. White Sox reliever Matt Foster hung a breaking ball to Ford in the sixth inning, and the Yankee first baseman got every bit of it, sending it 447 feet into the […]

Kyle Higashioka Behind the Plate For Second Game Of Series

New York Yankees catcher Kyle Higashioka is the team's starting catcher for the second game of the series against the Chicago White Sox.
