Aaron Judge Out Of Starting Lineup On Thursday

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge is not included in the starting lineup for Thursday's series opener against the Rays. Mike Tauchman is filling in at right field, while Aaron Hicks is bumped up to the second spot in the lineup. This is only the second game Judge hasn't started since his return to the […]

Domingo German Earns Win Vs Mets

New York Yankees starting pitcher Domingo German gave up one run in six innings and earned his 10th win of the season. German scattered five hits with six strikeouts and didn't allow a walk in his first start coming off the injured list. German has a 13.9 percent swinging strike rate, which is top-20 in […]

Domingo German Officially Activated

As expected, New York Yankees starting pitcher Domingo German was activated from the injured list Wednesday to start vs. the New York Mets. Reliever Stephen Tarpley was optioned to make roster space. German was felled in early June by a left hip flexor strain with a 9-2 record, 3.86 ERA, and 1.11 WHIP in 13 […]

Power Hitting Risers & Fallers for Week 14 - Buy or Sell?

Welcome to this week's Power Hitting Risers & Fallers. All stats are full season through Monday, July 1 (unless otherwise noted). The season is just over halfway done, and the home runs are still coming in bunches. That doesn't mean everyone's always hitting them all the time, and good thing for this column. Weekly reminders: […]

James Paxton's Quality Start Goes Wasted

The New York Mets and New York Yankees engaged in a pitcher's duel Tuesday night at Citi Field. For the road team, the starter was James Paxton, who arguably had his best start since returning from a knee injury in late May. The 30-year-old allowed just one run, which came off a solo home run […]

Kendrys Morales Released By Yankees

New York Yankees designated hitter Kendrys Morales has been released after clearing unconditional waivers. Morales was designated for assignment last week and clearly the Yankees were unable to find a suitor for the 36-year-old. He last appeared in a game on June 11 before being placed on the injured list with a calf injury. This […]

Domingo German Will Be Activated Wednesday

New York Yankees starting pitcher Domingo German (hip) will be activated from the 10-day injured list on Wednesday. He did not pitch well during his rehab outing, but the Yankees are still going to start German versus the New York Mets on Wednesday. He was pitching well before suffering a left hip flexor strain in […]

Catcher Waiver Wire Pickups For Week 14

As we sit a week away from the All-Star Game you may have already found a dependable catcher that you roll with week-in and week-out, but as we know, backstops are the most volatile position in fantasy baseball. With that being said, we should always be aware of the landscape of the position just in […]

2B and SS Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 14

We have now completed three months of the 2019 MLB campaign, and find ourselves reanalyzing our options on July 1st with baseball fresh off of its London debut. When I think of overbearing summer heat, I picture it coming in July, right as Jaws is making his way into Amity. With the arrival of July […]

The Cut List (Week 14) - Time to Let Go?

We're halfway there in the baseball season, but hopefully your fantasy team is living on more than a prayer. (By Jove, that's terrible. Apologies.) Unless it's a points league, categories are starting to take more precedence at this point. Every hitter on this week's Cut List comes with a list of categories in which a […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (6/30/19): MLB DFS Lineups

Welcome to Sunday baseball! We have a 9-game main slate on our hands on DraftKings with plenty to dive into. The game in Coors Field isn't on this slate, so things will be a little bit more balanced on the offensive end. As for pitching, there are a lot of options for just nine games. […]

Luke Voit Exits Game With Lower-Body Injury

New York Yankees first baseman Luke Voit (hamstring) was forced to exit Saturday's game against the Red Sox in London. Voit hit a ball in the fifth inning and was rounding first base when the injury occurred. It is unknown whether a trip to the injured list will be necessary.

Domingo German Will Return Next Week

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone announced Saturday from London that starter Domingo German will return to the rotation either Wednesday or Thursday next week. The Yankees face the Mets at Citi Field on Wednesday, and the Rays on Thursday in Tampa Bay, so it would make more sense for him to return in the […]

DJ LeMahieu Will Bat Leadoff Saturday

New York Yankees third baseman DJ LeMahieu will bat leadoff versus the Boston Red Sox on Saturday. Even since Didi Gregorius returned from the injured list, Giovanny Urshela has lost playing time to LeMahieu. Urshela was actually having a strong campaign at the plate, but he's not going to play over LeMahieu. Over the last […]

Luis Severino Still Not Throwing Off Mound

New York Yankees starting pitcher Luis Severino (lat) hasn't thrown off a mound yet. Manager Aaron Boone said that Severino's lat is 90 percent healed after undergoing another MRI exam, but he won't throw until he's at 100 percent. The Yankees are playing it very cautious so that the right-hander won't have another setback. Severino […]

Domingo German Expected To Return Wednesday

New York Yankees starting pitcher Domingo German (hip) retired the first six batters he faced in a rehab start for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Thursday, but he wound up allowing four runs (two homers) in four innings in a no-decision. His velocity was down a bit, but German's breaking ball was impressive and he is expected […]

On Vetoes

One of the most enjoyable aspects of fantasy baseball is making trades. It's certainly true that this is not the case in some leagues, because anytime you're dealing with people there's overwhelming potential for people to ruin things. But in the platonic ideal of a league, owners are both active and rational in their negotiations. Here in […]

Closers and Saves Report - Week 13 Waiver Wire

No, Craig is not short for Craigory, but yes, Craig Kimbrel has finally joined a Major League Baseball team in 2019. The Red Sox bullpen, meanwhile, continues to be a mess. In Atlanta, Luke Jackson is seeing objects in his rear view mirror, and they may be a lot closer than they appear. A few […]

Giancarlo Stanton Looking At August Return

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (knee) will likely be out of action through the month of July with his latest injury, this time a PCL strain. Clearly, it is not a minor strain, which is frustrating both for fantasy managers and the Yankees given how much time Stanton has already missed this year with other […]

Giancarlo Stanton Placed Back On IL

While reports early Wednesday were promising, the New York Yankees will have to place outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (knee) back on the injured list with a PCL strain. The 29-year-old suffered the injury Tuesday sliding the bases in the third inning. In response to the move, the club will recall Mike Tauchman from Triple-A, sending him to […]
