Aroldis Chapman Suspended For Three Games
New York Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman will miss the team’s next three games as he serves a suspension for throwing at Rays third baseman Mike Brosseau’s head on Tuesday. Relief pitcher Zach Britton is the natural fill-in for Chapman over the next three games, which come against the Rays, Mets, and Orioles. Britton’s DFS value […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (9/2/20) - MLB DFS Lineups
We have a large 10-game slate on DraftKings where we'll be sidestepping the two offenses that exploded for a combined 39 runs last night in the Giants and the Cardinals. No Coors Field to stack up tonight, either, so we'll have to dig a little deeper to look at offenses to target on this slate. […]

Aroldis Chapman Gets His First Save Of The Season
New York Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman finally picked up his first save of the season on Tuesday, striking out one over a clean inning against the Rays. An errant 101 mph fastball that wound up behind the head of Rays third baseman Mike Brosseau sparked some postgame animosity between the two teams, but Chapman looked […]
DJ LeMahieu Clubs Two Home Runs
New York Yankees second baseman DJ LeMahieu hit a pair of home runs against the Rays on Tuesday, giving him four home runs over 24 games this season. LeMahieu missed nine games between August 15 and August 29 with a thumb injury, but he hasn’t missed a beat since rejoining to the lineup with at […]
Masahiro Tanaka Strikes Out Seven On Tuesday
New York Yankees starting pitcher Masahiro Tanaka looked good on Wednesday, striking out seven batters over six innings with two runs allowed. Tanaka’s slider was fantastic with 11 whiffs over 42 pitches (26% swinging-strike rate), and a home run off the bat of outfielder Kevin Kiermaier was the only real damage against the 31-year-old. Encouragingly, […]
Gleyber Torres Nearing Return
New York Yankees shortstop Gleyber Torres (hamstring, quad) is expected to get some rehab games in at the team’s alternate site over the next few days, making his return to the MLB lineup likely to come sometime towards the end of next week. Torres had been heating up after a slow start to the season […]
Zach Britton Activated From Injured List On Tuesday
New York Yankees relief pitcher Zach Britton (hamstring) was activated by the team on Tuesday. Britton threw his most recent bullpen session on Sunday, and his activation on Tuesday was in line with the team’s expectations. Fantasy players should expect Britton to pitch primarily as a setup man for closer Aroldis Chapman and continue pitching […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (9/1/20): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

Gerrit Cole Struggles In Second Consecutive Start
New York Yankees starting pitcher Gerrit Cole allowed four runs over five innings on Monday, giving him nine runs allowed over his past 10 innings.

Kyle Higashioka To Return This Week
New York Yankees catcher Kyle Higashioka (oblique) is expected to return from the injured list within the next couple of days, according to manager Aaron Boone. Higashioka may be in line for a larger than usual workload over the rest of the season given that the Yankees are scheduled for four doubleheaders over the rest […]
Zach Britton Within Days Of Return
New York Yankees relief pitcher Zach Britton (hamstring) is expected to rejoin the team within the next couple of days, according to manager Aaron Boone. Britton threw one bullpen session on Friday and another on Sunday, and the recency of yesterday’s bullpen is the only factor keeping Britton from being activated already. Britton’s role will […]

New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez went hitless in the first game of Sunday’s doubleheader but hit a 453 ft extra-inning grand slam in a pinch-hit appearance during the Sunday’s second game.

Fantasy Baseball Injury Updates for Week 7
Injuries are commonplace in all sports. Baseball has seen the rate of injury continue to rise over the past few years. In fantasy, if someone is not in the medical field, it is hard to gauge how long a player will be out and whether they need to be replaced in a lineup. Sometimes this […]

Outfield Waiver Wire Pickups For Week 7
There wasn't very much movement for outfielders on waivers over the past week, so most of the players listed in last week's article are still attractive pickups this week. Namely, Bryan Reynolds, Joc Pederson, Clint Frazier, and Brad Miller are all still rostered in fewer than 50% of leagues and remain worth a look from outfielder-hungry […]
