Tonight's MLB DFS slate was supposed to be nine games but two have been postponed, leaving us a seven game slate. One of the games is being played at Coors Field and the other is taking place in 30 degree, snowy weather. We have a lot to take into consideration heading into tonight, but I have a good idea of where we're going, so let's dive in!

Player News
Addison Barger is at third base and batting third on Wednesday against the Phillies.
Barger has been moved to the heart of Toronto’s lineup, directly behind franchise cornerstone Vladimir Guerrero Jr., after homering in four consecutive games. The 25-year-old has been one of the biggest breakouts in the fantasy landscape this season, hitting .274/.338/.508 with six homers, 19 RBI and one steal in 39 games. He should be rostered in all fantasy formats at this juncture.
Jasson DomÃnguez (thumb) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday’s contest against the Guardians.
DomÃnguez told reporters he’s feeling better on Wednesday and will continue receiving treatment to address swelling in his left thumb. The 22-year-old former top prospect added that he’s aiming to resume swinging a bat, but remains out of the lineup for the second straight game. Yankees manager Aaron Boone told reporters he hopes to have him available off the bench, if needed. It sounds like he’ll be ready to return to New York’s lineup later this week. It’ll be Cody Bellinger in left field on Wednesday night in his absence.
Luis GarcÃa Jr. is not in the lineup for Wednesday’s game against the Cubs.
No surprise here as GarcÃa has taken a seat occasionally against left-handers. He’ll get a break with southpaw Matthew Boyd taking the ball on Wednesday evening. The 25-year-old second baseman has been in a groove lately, hitting .333 (19-for-57) with two homers, 13 RBI and one steal over his last 15 games. It’ll be Nasim Nuñez getting a chance at the keystone to open the game.
Alec Burleson is absent from the lineup for Wednesday’s contest against the Royals.
Burleson, who is hitting .380 (19-for-50) with three homers, seven RBI and one steal over his last 15 games, takes a seat with rookie southpaw Noah Cameron toeing the rubber in this one. He went 3-for-4 with a homer and reached base safely in four of his five plate appearances on Tuesday night. It’ll be Ryan Vilade getting his first start after being called up earlier this week.
Luis Robert Jr. remains out of the lineup for Wednesday’s game against the Tigers.
Robert will sit out his second straight game as the White Sox give him some extra time off to continue making adjustments. The 27-year-old speedster has been scuffling of late, hitting .154 (8-for-52) with 19 strikeouts over his past 15 contests. It’ll be veteran Michael A. Taylor patrolling center field again on Tuesday night at Rate Field.
Adolis GarcÃa is back in the lineup for Wednesday’s showdown against the Rays.
GarcÃa is back in right field and batting seventh following a four-game absence as the Rangers tried to get him away from the field for a mental reset. The 32-year-old power/speed combo outfielder has been mired in one of the worst stretches of his career, when he batted .189 (17-for-90) with three homers and struck out 29 times during the month of May.
