Chas McCormick Returns On Sunday

Houston Astros outfielder Chas McCormick (hamstring) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Texas Rangers. He'll return his return to the lineup after a one-game absence due to a hamstring issue. McCormick will cover center field and bat fifth versus right-hander Nathan Eovaldi. Fantasy managers in season-long formats can get […]

Alex Bregman Remains Out On Sunday

Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman (illness) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Texas Rangers. The stud corner infielder will now miss his third game in a row due to a lingering illness. It's unlikely that the Astros need to place Bregman on the injured list, but fantasy managers […]

Marco Gonzales Lands On Injured List

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Marco Gonzales (forearm) has been placed on the 15-day injured list on Sunday. The left-hander appears to have picked up the injury during Saturday's outing against the Philadelphia Phillies. Gonzales looked strong throwing six innings and allowing only two runs. Sadly, it appears the Pirates are going to be without Gonzales […]

Cody Bradford Placed On Injured List

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Cody Bradford (back) has been placed on the 15-day injured list on Sunday. It appears the left-hander picked up a lower back injury at some point during Wednesday's start. This is a shame considering Bradford has pitched well to start the season. Now, the young southpaw is looking at missing at […]

Jackson Chourio Taking A Seat On Sunday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Jackson Chourio (rest) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Baltimore Orioles.

Christian Yelich Remains Out On Sunday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich (back) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Baltimore Orioles.

However, Yelich could end up […]

Joc Pederson Sitting Versus Southpaw

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Joc Pederson (rest) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. This appears to be a routine rest day for Pederson against a left-handed starting pitcher. The D-Backs will play matchups here and go with Blaze Alexander at designated hitter versus Steven Matz. There's not […]

Keibert Ruiz Remains Out On Friday

Washington Nationals catcher Keibert Ruiz (illness) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Oakland Athletics.

Justin Verlander To Make Rehab Start On Saturday

Houston Astros starting pitcher Justin Verlander (shoulder) is scheduled to make his next minor league rehab start on Saturday at Double-A Corpus Christi. The 41-year-old appears to be progressing well and could return after this outing. Obviously, the Astros don't want to rush back Verlander, but they need help in the rotation. Fantasy managers will […]

Luis Robert Jr. Could Only Miss Six Weeks

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. (hip) is trending towards a six-week absence, according to general manager Chris Getz. The organization recently gave a timetable of 6-8 weeks for Robert who is recovering from a hip injury. It's encouraging to hear that Robert might only miss six weeks of action. Barring any setbacks, Robert […]

Eloy Jimenez To Ramp Up Activities

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez (groin) will reportedly ramp up his running this week, according to general manager Chris Getz. The oft-injured outfielder has been sidelined since early April due to a groin issue. It's nice to hear that Jimenez is ramping up his activities, but it doesn't sound like he's ready to play […]

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Alek Thomas (hamstring) recently told reporters that he is progressing well from his injury. The 23-year-old was placed on the injured list roughly two weeks ago due to a hamstring injury. Thomas has been taking at-bats in extended spring training and it appears to be going well.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon (illness) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays.

[…]

Jhoan Duran Feels Good During Bullpen Session

Minnesota Twins relief pitcher Jhoan Duran (oblique) reportedly felt good during his bullpen session on Friday. The right-hander continues working his way back from an oblique injury that has sidelined him since the end of spring training. It sounds like the plan is for Duran to throw again on Tuesday. The 26-year-old is likely still […]

Collin Sexton Tagged As Doubtful For Friday

Utah Jazz guard Collin Sexton (illness) is listed as doubtful ahead of Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. It looks like Sexton is set to miss another game after sitting out of Thursday's game due to an illness. His absence has resulted in Talen-Horton Tucker moving into the starting five. He has played fairly […]

Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga (pelvis) is listed as questionable ahead of Friday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Kuminga played well, dropping 19 points with six rebounds during Thursday's game. However, it appears he picked up a pelvis contusion during the process.

Karl-Anthony Towns Will Play On Friday

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) will officially suit up ahead of Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. The big man will make his first appearance on the court since suffering a left meniscus injury in early March. Fantasy managers should not expect Towns to have a full workload on Friday. It's his first game […]

Damian Lillard Ruled Out On Friday

Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard (groin) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The star guard was considered as doubtful coming into this game, but the team will ultimately hold him out. This is not good news for the Bucks as this team is already shorthanded. The expectation is […]

Anthony Edwards Could Miss Friday's Game

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (illness) is listed as questionable ahead of Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. The star guard is a late addition to the injury report due to an illness. This could very well end up being a game-time decision type of situation. That being said, fantasy managers will have to check […]

DeMar DeRozan Unlikely To Play

Chicago Bulls forward DeMar DeRozan (rest) has been downgraded to doubtful ahead of Friday's game against the Washington Wizards. Fantasy managers don't need to worry as this looks like a routine rest game for DeRozan. The Bulls have already locked up the 9th seed, so they have no incentive to put DeRozan out there. The […]

Jalen Duren Tagged As Questionable For Friday

Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (back) is listed as questionable ahead of Friday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. The big man was able to play 31 minutes during Thursday's loss.

Cade Cunningham Doubtful For Friday

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) is listed as doubtful ahead of Friday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Cunningham has missed each of the last five games due to a left knee injury. The expectation is that the Pistons are going to take the cautious approach and hold out Cunningham. If he sits, Marcus Sasser […]

Cason Wallace is […]

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (ankle) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns.

Draymond Green Likely To Play On Friday

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green (knee) is listed as probable ahead of Friday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. The veteran forward sat out alongside guard Klay Thompson (knee) during Thursday's contest. However, head coach Steve Kerr mentioned beforehand that both players should be active for Friday. The return of Green should push Jonathan […]
