Giovanny Urshela Drives In Three In Win
While the New York Yankees have slowly gotten healthy, Giovanny Urshela continues to be a major contributor. Starting at third base in the first game of Thursday's doubleheader, he recorded three hits, including a game-tying two-run home run and an RBI double in the fifth. While the 27-year-old hasn't been producing at the pace he […]
Domingo German Records 12th Victory
When New York Yankees starter Domingo German went down in early June with a left hip flexor strain, he was leading the AL in wins. Now, having missed almost a full month, the 26-year-old is once again leading the league in victories. German posted a quality start Thursday afternoon as the Yankees took the first […]
Digger Deeper: AL-Only Waiver Wire Report for Week 16 (Triple-A Edition)
very week in baseball, a significant player will hit the disabled list, slip into a slump, or get traded out of a good spot. How fantasy owners adapt to these situations can make or break the season as a whole. One lousy add might not hurt the long-term standing of a team, but failing to […]
FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (7/18/19): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (7/18/19): MLB DFS Lineups

J.A. Happ Start Pushed Back to Friday
New York Yankees starting pitcher J.A. Happ will have his next scheduled start pushed back until Friday against the Colorado Rockies. He was supposed to pitch Thursday, but it will be pushed back a day with Wednesday's game being postponed. Domingo German will draw the start on Thursday.
Gleyber Torres is Out on Wednesday
New York Yankees infielder Gleyber Torres (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. Torres appears to be getting a routine day off here, but it's well deserved. DJ LeMahieu will bat leadoff and cover second base versus righty Yonny Chirinos. LeMahieu has been a fantastic fantasy option […]

Didi Gregorius Blasts Grand Slam In Victory
New York Yankees shortstop Didi Gregorius emphatically sealed a victory Tuesday night at Yankee Stadium against the Tampa Bay Rays. The 29-year-old drilled an eighth-inning grand slam to increase New York's lead to five runs. It was the finishing straw in an eventful game, which saw a bench-clearing incident and clutch Aaron Judge blast in […]
CC Sabathia Gets Animated In No-Decision
New York Yankees veteran CC Sabathia, currently in the midst of his final season, continues his hatred of the Tampa Bay Rays. The 38-year-old posted a quality start, but provoked a clearing of the benches as he engaged in an argument with Avisail Garcia. Aside from that, he allowed three runs on five hits and […]
Aaron Judge Ignites Yankees Comeback Win
The New York Yankees bounced back from a tough defeat Tuesday night as they defeated the Tampa Bay Rays, 8-3. The home club took the lead in the eighth after trailing 3-2 from the seventh.

MLB DFS Prop Picks for 7/16/19 - Monkey Knife Fight
Getting on base is the name of the game. It may have been popularized by Moneyball but the idea remains central to generating offense in Major League Baseball. The top players when it comes to getting on base are a who’s who, for the most part. Mike Trout, Christian Yelich, Cody Bellinger, Carlos Santana. Wait, […]

Yankees Interested In Robbie Ray
The New York Yankees are among the teams interested in Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Robbie Ray. The Diamondbacks are still in the National League wild-card race, though, so it's no sure bet they'll be sellers up to the deadline. The left-hander can be volatile because of his 4.5 BB/9 in 111 innings over 20 starts, […]
James Paxton Strikes Out Seven In No-Decision
New York Yankees starter James Paxton had minimal offensive assistance Monday night during his home start against the Tampa Bay Rays. The 30-year-old allowed just two runs, both coming off home runs, in his six innings of work. Striking out seven in the process, he threw 107 pitches in what was a quality start. Unfortunately […]
Edwin Encarnacion Smacks Two Home Runs In Defeat
New York Yankees slugger Edwin Encarnacion had what appeared to be his first signature moment in pinstripes late Monday night during his club's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. The 36-year-old drilled a solo home run in the fourth, but also drilled a huge, two-run blast in the eighth that broke a late deadlock. The […]
Aroldis Chapman Blows Save As Yankees Lose
The New York Yankees were one strike away from winning their 60th game of the season and extending their AL East lead over the Tampa Bay Rays Monday night before it all went south. With All-Star closer Aroldis Chapman on the mound, the road team scored three runs in the ninth with a three-run blast. […]

Jordan Montgomery Could Play A Role In 2019
New York Yankees starting pitcher Jordan Montgomery (elbow, shoulder) threw batting practice recently, and manager Aaron Boone thinks that Montgomery could still play a late-season role for the team. Even if the left-hander does return later this year, he's unlikely to move the needle for fantasy owners at all. The 26-year-old is recovering from Tommy […]
Cameron Maybin Nearing Return
New York Yankees outfielder Cameron Maybin (calf), who suffered a left calf strain on June 21, is on the cusp of beginning a rehab assignment. He ran outside for the first time on Saturday and has been working on a treadmill over the last week. Manager Aaron Boone said that Maybin will ramp up baseball […]
Dellin Betances Cleared to Throw
As expected, New York Yankees relief pitcher Dellin Betances has been cleared to resume throwing. Betances has suffered from a right shoulder bone spur and a lat strain this season, but the team his confident he will be okay from here. Given that Betances has not pitched all season, it will be important to note […]
Luis Severino Cleared For Throwing Program
New York Yankees starter Luis Severino has been cleared by doctors to begin his third rehab throwing assignment as he works his way back from a lat injury. He suffered this ailment while rehabbing his shoulder injury that has held him out of action since spring training. There is no firm timetable for his return […]
Edwin Encarnacion Out of Lineup Sunday
New York Yankees designated hitter Edwin Encarnacion will sit out of Sunday's game against Toronto. Encarnacion has struggled since being traded from Seattle, hitting .139 with 23 strikeouts in 72 at bats, but he has homered four times in 18 games with New York. After starting in 11 of the team's last 12 games, the […]
Aaron Hicks Out of Lineup Sunday Against Toronto
New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks is out of the lineup on Sunday against the Toronto Blue Jays. Hitting .236 with eight home runs this season, Hicks will get a day off after starting in 13 of the Yankees last 14 games. Brett Gardner will slide over to center and Mike Tauchman will start in […]
