Cincinnati Reds outfielder/designated hitter Aristides Aquino and infielder Kyle Farmer are both among the starting nine for Wednesdays Game 1 of the wild-card series versus Atlanta and left-hander Max Fried. The duo enter the lineup due to the platoon nature of the Cincinnati order, with both having DFS upside due to their low price tags; at the same time, fantasy managers will have to consider that either could be lifted in a late-game scenario, thereby capping their value. Aquino has power...

Cincinnati Reds infielder Kyle Farmer will make the start at shortstop Saturday against Minnesota and right-hander Michael Pineda. The start will mark Farmers 18th of the year, as Freddy Galvis returns to the pine a night after going deep. With a .328 OBP in 64 plate appearances this year, Farmer holds punt play DFS appeal, but batting eighth will make him difficult to fit into a Cincinnati-centric stack. Expect Galvis to see the vast majority of playing time at short for the Reds during the ...

Cincinnati Reds utility man Kyle Farmer got the start at shortstop on Sunday in Cactus League action. Farmer can play all over the diamond for Cincinnati as he made appearances at first base, second base, third base, shortstop, and catcher during the 2019 season. That being said, his stint at shortstop was limited as he only spent one inning there last year. The Reds don't have a reliable option at backup shortstop behind Freddy Galvis, so Farmer could secure a spot on the Opening Day roster ...

Cincinnati officially has a catcher emergency on their hands, with injuries to Curt Casali and Kyle Farmer forcing them to join the already injured Tucker Barnhart on the IR. The Reds are now down to Juan Graterol, who was recently promoted from AAA, and Ryan Lavarnway, who they signed the day after he was released by the Yankees. Both can be safely ignored in all fantasy formats.

Every 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 take advantage of breakouts or impact bats before others sure can.The primary challenge of playing in an NL or AL-only league is often the lack of options regarding adding and subtracting players when needed.

Cincinnati Reds catcher and utility infielder Kyle Farmer will begin the season on the team's 25-man roster as a result of Scooter Gennett's injury. Farmer had lost out on the team's backup catcher position to Curt Casali earlier in the week, but will now serve as depth on the bench. The most AB he's gotten in the majors was 68 with the Dodgers last year, but he had pretty good OBP numbers in the minors and can take a walk. He could become something if injury strikes Casali or the team's main[...]

Starting pitcher Alex Wood, catcher Kyle Farmer, and outfielders Matt Kemp and Yasiel Puig are trading Dodger blue for the bright kit of the Cincinnati Reds. The trio was traded for Homer Bailey and prospects in what was essentially a salary dump for Los Angeles as they attempt to sign or trade for more superstars. The Dodgers run for that elusive championship has hit a breaking point, and they decided that the aging [...]

Los Angeles Dodgers catcher/infielder Kyle Farmer was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City after Wednesday's game. The Dodgers are off Thursday and this move points to the return of Chase Utley for Friday's game against the Mets. Farmer has no home runs, one run, and eight RBI to go with a weak .238/.310/.302 slash line.
