Outfield Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 11

Managers can easily make decisions to affect their team positively, but often they're too hesitant, cautious, or even scared. Sometimes you have to make the hard choice to choose a player in the right circumstance to produce. These are the best players when we start streaming. We look at the matchups and other variables to […]

Brett Gardner Requires Stitches For Lip

New York Yankees outfielder Brett Gardner (lip) required six stitches on his lip for a gash that he suffered when his thrown helmet hit him in the mouth on Saturday. Gardner went hitless with a strikeout in his four plate appearances in the game on Saturday and is now hitting just .217/.293/.406 with eight home […]

Aaron Judge Could Start Rehab Assignment In Two Weeks

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (oblique) could start his rehab assignment in two weeks.

The 27-year-old will provide fantasy owners with a huge power boost when he's back in the Bombers lineup. He […]

Giancarlo Stanton Starting Rehab Assignment Next Week

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (calf) will start his rehab assignment with High-A Tampa on Monday or Tuesday, according to manager Aaron Boone. Boone thinks that Stanton will need at least a week of games at Tampa and Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre before he's ready to be activated. Stanton has played in only three games this […]

Gary Sanchez, Luke Voit Sitting Out Saturday

New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez and first baseman Luke Voit are not in the starting lineup on Saturday. Austin Romine is catching and batting ninth, while Kendrys Morales will serve as the designated hitter and hit sixth against Indians starting pitcher Adam Plutko. Morales will be the slightly more appealing deep DFS sleeper in […]

Dellin Betances Suffers Setback

New York Yankees relief pitcher Dellin Betances (shoulder) was too sore to throw a bullpen session on Friday and will have his right shoulder examined by team doctor Chris Ahmad on Monday. Betances has been out all season and doesn't have a timetable for a return at this point. The hard-throwing right-hander typically doesn't see […]

Masahiro Tanaka Placed On Paternity List

The New York Yankees placed starting pitcher Masahiro Tanaka on the paternity-leave list on Saturday and recalled reliever Nestor Cortes from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in a corresponding move. Tanaka will miss his scheduled start against the Indians on the road on Sunday as a result, but he shouldn't miss any more turns after that. The Japanese […]

Sauceda's Slants: Folding Aces

There are very few Fantasy experiences more pleasing than hitting on a late-round sleeper or sneaky waiver acquisition — not unlike the experience of finding a twenty-dollar bill in your pocket that you had completely forgotten. When landing these types of players, common refrain tends to be, “sell high!” But for anyone who’s played in […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (6/8/19): MLB DFS Lineups

A really strange day of baseball with two doubleheaders wreaking havoc on the slates. To confuse matters even more, neither of the Rays @ Red Sox games appear on either slate, while both of the Athletics @ Rangers games appear on slates. In total there are two main slates, both with fairly even weighting. The […]

Giancarlo Stanton Close To Rehab Assignment

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (calf) is "close" to a rehab assignment, but there is no date yet. It's been a lost season so far for Stanton, who has been out since March 31. Still, the 29-year-old needs to remain stashed in all leagues for his premier home run […]

Masahiro Tanaka May Miss Sunday Start

With New York Yankees starting pitcher Masahiro Tanaka back in New York for the birth of his child, he may be forced to miss his start on Sunday on the road against the Indians. It'd be a shame, as the Tribe have been one of the better matchups for pitchers this season. The Japanese right-hander […]

Gleyber Torres Still Out Friday

New York Yankees infielder Gleyber Torres (shoulder) is out of the starting lineup for the second straight day on Friday due to a sore left shoulder. However, he expected to return on Saturday and said he's available if needed on Friday. Torres hasn't had any tests on his shoulder. More bad news for Torres is […]

Didi Gregorius Hitting Fifth In Season Debut

New York Yankees shortstop Didi Gregorius (elbow) is hitting fifth and playing shortstop against Indians starting pitcher Zach Plesac on Friday in his season debut. Gleyber Torres (shoulder) will start on the bench as a result. Gregorius had a long road of recovery from Tommy John surgery, so don't be surprised if he starts off […]

Thairo Estrada Optioned To Minors

The New York Yankees optioned infielder Thairo Estrada to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Thursday night in order to make room for shortstop Didi Gregorius (elbow), who will come off the injured list and make his season debut on Friday. In just 50 at-bats as a utility infielder, Estrada excelled by hitting .280/.321/.520 with three home runs, […]

Ketel Marte Just Woke Us Up

Sound the alarms! We’ve got a power surge from Arizona that won’t go out! Oh, it’s nothing, just another one of those monstrous months from Paul Gold-- Wait, Goldy’s no longer in the desert. Then who is the source of this power surge? Ketel Marte?? Second on the team in home runs with 14 in […]

Aroldis Chapman Disarms Late Rally For Save

After New York Yankees reliever Chad Green loaded the bases to begin the bottom of the ninth, manager Aaron Boone was forced to summon closer Aroldis Chapman. The Yankees held a five-run lead but Chapman faced a save situation nonetheless and managed to ease tensions in a hurry. The 31-year-old quickly induced a monumental double […]

Giovanny Urshela Goes Yard As Playing-Time Decision Looms

The New York Yankees' infield is about to get a little more crowded and none of the current members are willing to give an inch. With Didi Gregorius set to return Friday in Cleveland following Tommy John surgery, third base will become the lone spot without a clear starter. Giovanny Urshela, who has excelled since […]

Aaron Hicks Blasts Yankees Past Toronto

With J.A. Happ taking care of business on the mound, the New York Yankees offense pushed out six runs as they won their first game after dropping three straight, 6-2. The biggest hit of the night came off the bat of outfielder Aaron Hicks, who delivered his third home run of the season in the […]

J.A. Happ Gets Yankees Back To Winning Ways

New York Yankees starter J.A. Happ starred as his club snapped a three-game losing streak Thursday night in Toronto. Making his return to the Rogers Centre, where he pitched for the better part of the last seven years, the 36-year-old went seven innings for the first time since April. He allowed just one run on […]

Aaron Judge Takes On-Field Batting Practice

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (oblique) resumed on-field batting practice on Thursday at the team's spring training facilities, but he's taking his rehab day-by-day and isn't putting a timetable on his return. Judge strained his left oblique on April 20 but is now pain-free, and manager Aaron Boone said Wednesday that the slugger could […]

Didi Gregorius Returning Friday

New York Yankees shortstop Didi Gregorius (elbow) is expected to be activated from the injured list and return to the starting lineup on Friday against the Indians for his season debut. Gregorius is returning from Tommy John surgery last October and should be owned in all leagues as a potential difference-maker at the position. The […]

Gleyber Torres Out With Sore Shoulder

Updating a previous report, New York Yankees shortstop Gleyber Torres (shoulder) is out of the starting lineup on Thursday with a sore left shoulder. Manager Aaron Boone said that Torres could sit out on Friday as well. It doesn't sound like a serious injury, but the Yankees are giving Torres a bit of a rest […]
