Chicago White Sox third baseman Matt Davidson (calf), who missed the entire series against the Royals with a sore calf, is available off the bench on Friday, according to manager Rick Renteria. Daniel Palka is serving as the designated hitter on Friday, while Nick Delmonico is also starting against Orioles starter Luis Ortiz. Davidson should return to the starting lineup sometime this weekend and is really only useful in fantasy for his occasional power outbursts.

Chicago White Sox third baseman Matt Davidson (calf) is nursing a sore left calf but should be able to return to the starting lineup on Friday after the off day on Thursday, according to manager Rick Renteria. Davidson is available off the bench on Wednesday. The slugging third baseman doesn't help fantasy owners in the average or on-base departments, but he certainly has power (20 homers, 58 RBI). He's a boom-or-bust DFS play each time he's in the lineup.

Chicago White Sox third baseman/first baseman Matt Davidson is out of the lineup on Tuesday with general soreness after playing first base extensively when Jose Abreu was on the shelf. Davidson has now been on the bench the last two games. The slugging corner infielder has 20 homers and 58 RBI on the year, but he's an all-or-nothing fantasy player and hurts owners with his .235 average. It looks like he's just day-to-day.

Welcome to Week 22 of the Cut List. This week I took a look at Marco Gonzales, Wil Myers, Brandon Belt, and Kyle Seager.   As always, these suggestions apply to standard shallow league formats. You wouldn't want to cut Wil Myers and Marco Gonzales in a deep league, would you?   Want some waiver wire advice to make up for those necessary cuts? Make sure you check out our waiver wire blog for the best pickup consultation around. Time to Move On Marco Gonzales (SP, SEA) C[...]

Welcome to Contact Rate Risers and Fallers! Our premium tools allow us to get out ahead of trends in player performance, including contact rate. Every Wednesday, we'll be looking at some players that have seen an increase in contact rate and some that have seen it decline. Contact rate can foretell a player's batting average and general hitting statistics, and any drastic change could signal a shift in performance. Contact rate shifts often act as a precursor to hot streaks and slumps. He[...]

I like to consider myself a pioneer of the streaming approach. I won a league about seven years ago completely ignoring saves and just stacking up the starts each week. While streaming is undoubtedly more directly associated with pitching, there's plenty of value in streaming for offense as well. Maybe you have a stacked roster and you can't drop anyone. But for those of us with a couple of guys on the roster fringes, it's never too early to look into targeting a specific player or two to gai[...]

Chicago White Sox designated hitter Matt Davidson went 2-for-4 Monday with a double and home run. It was Davidson's second home run in as many days and his 13th on the season. Davidson lives and dies by the home run ball and now would be a good time for owners to play Davidson as he has been in a good groove.

Chicago White Sox designated hitter Matt Davidson will sit Wednesday. Davidson was in a bit of a slump prior to Tuesday's game when he hit a pair of doubles. Davidson is likely to return to the lineup Thursday. Outfielder Daniel Palka will be the designated hitter tonight and bat fourth. Palka is having a nice season, but has a tough matchup Wednesday versus Trevor Bauer.
