Description: Chicago second baseman Gordon Beckham hasn't had much success in his career against Tigers righthander Justin Verlander. He only has five hits against him in 28 lifetime encounters.
Insight: Beckham has actually had a decent series (4-for-6, two homers, three RBI) but all of that goes out the window when you're facing a once-in-a-generation talent like Verlander. We're forecasting a rough day for the White Sox infielder.

Insight: Beckham (.228, 10 HRs, 39 RBIs) is at best a fantasy fill-in for a short-term injury as his OPS has dropped from .808 as a rookie to .634 this season. He should not be in any lineups on Tuesday.

Description: White Sox second baseman Gordon Beckham is not in the lineup on Wednesday and that's probably for the best. He's hitless in seven career at bats against Minnesota starter Scott Diamond.
Insight: Beckham (.231, 9 HRs, 38 RBIs) hit just .188 with no homers in July and at the risk of starting out on the wrong foot in August, he'll sit Wednesday against the lefthander Diamond (9-4, 2.88 ERA).

Insight: Beckham is batting just .224 this season, but has scored 24 runs, hit five home runs and knocked in 14. Fantasy owners are still waiting for a repeat of his rookie year when he batted .270 with 14 HR, 63 RBI and a .808 OPS in just 378 at-bats.

Insight: Beckham is struggling to hit his weight and when you are a skinny guy that's not a good thing. He's batting just .153 with a .434 OPS. He should not be in any starting lineups today or until he begins to look like the guy from 2009 (.270, 14 HR, 63 RBI in 378 at-bats).
 
4/25/2012 1:47:00 PM
Description: White Sox second baseman Gordon Beckham will not be in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Oakland. Simply a day of rest.
Insight: Beckham hasn't produced as well over his last two seasons as he did in his 2009 rookie year when he batted .270 with 14 HR and 63 RBI in just 378 at-bats. His fantasy value keeps dropping and his .180 batting average in 2012 isn't making fantasy owners change their opinion.
