NHL DFS Example Lineups: March 7

Cease left with a trainer in the middle of a seventh-inning at-bat just a couple batters after serving up a game-tying solo homer to Cody Bellinger, which broke up a no-hit bid. The 29-year-old fantasy ace finished the dominant performance at hitter-friendly Yankee Stadium with a season-high nine strikeouts and only issued a pair of walks over 6 2/3 innings of work. There should be an update on his status shortly.

Orioles manager Brandon Hyde told reporters he’s hopeful O’Neill will return for this weekend’s series against the Angels out in Los Angeles. The 29-year-old slugging outfielder, who has been out since late April with neck inflammation, went 2-for-6 in a pair of rehab contests.

Gonzalez was lifted from Wednesday’s game at Fenway Park following a nasty collision with Rangers first baseman Josh Smith while trying to beat out an infield single in the sixth inning. The positive news here is that both players were able to get back on their feet with Smith staying in the contest. Gonzalez, who was replaced by Abraham Toro at the cold corner to open the seventh inning, will undergo further evaluation and there should be an update on his status following the game.

Greene made an abrupt exit from Wednesday’s showdown at Truist Park while warming up for the start of the fourth inning. The hard-throwing 25-year-old emerging fantasy ace recorded six strikeouts and scattered two hits over three frames to open the contest. He’ll presumably head for further evaluation and imaging to determine the extent of the injury. The positive takeaway here is that he isn’t dealing with anything arm-related. There should be an update on his status following Wednesday’s contest.

Royals manager Matt Quatraro said Harvey’s throwing progression will be slowed down a bit before they determine his next steps. It’s not quite a full-scale shutdown, but they’re going to pump the brakes. There should be an update on his status once he throws a bullpen session in the coming days.

Baker has played sparingly this season, hitting .235 (8-for-34) with two RBI in 19 games off the Cardinals bench. He’s made just two starts since April 20. He’ll head back to the minors where he’ll get more of an opportunity to play regularly.
