Giancarlo Stanton Out Of Lineup Sunday Against Tigers

New York Yankees outfielder/designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton (rest) is out of the lineup for Sunday's finale against the Tigers. Stanton had played in 85 straight games per MLB.com's Joe Trezza, so this is merely a well-deserved day off. Gary Sanchez will hit in the DH spot with Brett Gardner and Andrew McCutchen manning the corner […]

Gary Sanchez Back In Lineup Saturday

As expected, New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez (groin) was activated from the disabled list and is in the starting lineup on Saturday. He is hitting fifth against Tigers starter Daniel Norris. Sanchez has been out since July 23 but should be put back into all starting lineups in fantasy leagues. He has a weak […]

Andrew McCutchen Leading Off In Yankees Debut

Newly acquired New York Yankees outfielder Andrew McCutchen will be batting leadoff and starting in right field in his Yankees debut on Saturday against the Detroit Tigers. McCutchen was acquired from the San Francisco Giants on Thursday and gives the Yankees a veteran bat who offers insurance for Aaron Judge's injury. This transaction was a […]

Adeiny Hechavarria Traded To Yankees

The New York Yankees continue to bolster their playoff roster as they acquired shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria from the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday night. This is solely a depth move for the Yankees, although Hechavarria could see playing time in the short-term due to Didi Gregorius' foot injury. Hechavarria is carrying a .254 average on the […]

Luke Voit Remains in the Lineup Friday

New York Yankees first baseman Luke Voit remains in the starting lineup for the second straight game on Friday. Voit has been on fire at the plate and appears to have taken the starting job at first base over Greg Bird. Voit will bat fifth and play first base versus righty Jordan Zimmermann. He's worth […]

Yankees Optimistic Aaron Judge Will Return This Year

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said he is "very optimistic" that outfielder Aaron Judge (wrist) will return this year, but there still remains no timetable for his return. Judge has been out since July 26 since suffering a wrist fracture, and he doesn't appear close to a return since he still can't swing a […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (8/31/18): MLB DFS Lineups

We have a packed 15-game slate on Friday. Five games have an over/under of at least nine total runs, with the MIN/TEX matchup leading the slate with a projected run total of 11.

Expanded rosters and pennant races will lead to different types of drama and intrigue as we bring the 2018 regular season to a close. More importantly, of course, your fantasy teams are sprinting toward the finish line. Whether […]

J.A. Happ Has Worst Outing With Yankees

Since being acquired from the Toronto Blue Jays last month, New York Yankees starter J.A. Happ has been incredibly reliable, winning each of his first five starts with the club. On Thursday, however, his streak would end as he was pounded by the Detroit Tigers. Eventually taking a no-decision, the 35-year-old surrendered five runs on […]

Luke Voit Smacks Home Run In Tough Loss

Despite the New York Yankees blowing a late lead and eventually walking away with a bitter defeat, the club might have a clearer picture about their first base situation. Luke Voit smacked another home run on Thursday, recording two hits in total from the cleanup spot. The blast was Voit's fifth of the year, as […]

Dellin Betances Blows Save In Defeat

The New York Yankees seemed headed to another slugfest-style victory Thursday night in the series opener against the Detroit Tigers. They were leading 7-5 heading into the ninth when Dellin Betances was summoned to close it out. The result would be Betances' worst outing in quite some time, as he surrendered two home runs and […]

Yankees Acquire Andrew McCutchen

After earlier reports stated the New York Yankees were working hard to acquire outfielder Andrew McCutchen from the San Francisco Giants, sources have confirmed the deal has been agreed to. The 31-year-old former NL MVP was in the midst of his first season with the Giants, hitting .255 with 15 home runs and 55 RBI […]

Yankees Working To Acquire Andrew McCutchen

The New York Yankees are trying to finalize a trade for San Francisco Giants outfielder Andrew McCutchen, according to sources. However, no deal is done yet. Shortstop Abiatal Avelino would be part of the return for the Giants. With Aaron Judge's (wrist) recovery from a wrist fracture taking much longer than expected, Cutch would be […]

Aaron Judge Works Out Thursday

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (wrist) ran the bases and played catch at Yankee Stadium on Thursday, but he still can't swing a bat. "We're not quite there yet, but I think today was a good day, another positive step forward for him," manager Aaron Boone said. "He ramped up some things after a […]

Gary Sanchez Expected To Be Activated Saturday

New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez (groin) is expected to be activated from the disabled list when rosters expand on Saturday, according to manager Aaron Boone. Sanchez has really struggled with a .188 average in his 245 at-bats, and he's also been out since July 23. He's still valuable at a weak fantasy position because […]

Luke Voit is Back in the Lineup Thursday

New York Yankees first baseman Luke Voit is back in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Detroit Tigers. Voit has been on fire with the bat over the last week or so. He's playing first base and batting cleanup versus lefty Francisco Liriano. Voit is worth a look as a sleeper option for […]

Didi Gregorius Listed As Day-To-Day

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said shortstop Didi Gregorius (heel), who took the day off Thursday, is day-to-day. However, he's not ready to commit to Gregorius returning on Monday against the A's. Gregorius is on the right track to return from the disabled list next week, though. His fantasy owners will be thrilled to […]

CC Sabathia Loses In Quality Start Against White Sox

New York Yankees starter CC Sabathia endured a frustrating night alongside his teammates at a scorching-hot Yankee Stadium Wednesday. Taking on the Chicago White Sox in the series finale, the veteran left-hander posted a quality start, going six innings and conceding three runs on five hits. While that would usually be enough of a productive […]

Gleyber Torres Spiked In Thumb

New York Yankees second baseman Gleyber Torres (thumb) was spiked in the left thumb in the game on Wednesday, and it opened up a small cut. Manager Aaron Boone doesn't think the injury is serious, though. The Rookie of the Year candidate had two singles and a strikeout in four plate appearances in the loss […]
