Riley Greene Absent On Friday

Detroit Tigers outfielder Riley Greene (rest) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Minnesota Twins. This appears to be a rare rest day for the 23-year-old outfielder. Greene has started the first 19 games of the season, so he has earned a day off on Friday. Wenceel Perez will bat […]

Duncan Robinson Active On Wednesday

Miami Heat guard Duncan Robinson (face) will be active ahead of Wednesday's play-in game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Robinson will make his return to the rotation after missing each of the last four games. The Heat have said that Robinson won't have a minutes limit during this game. There was some questions as to whether […]

Joel Embiid Will Play On Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) will suit up for Wednesday's play-in game against the Miami Heat. The big man was questionable coming into this game due to a left knee issue. However, it was hard to believe that Embiid was going to sit out a game of this importance. He will suit up and […]

CJ Abrams Blasts Leadoff Homer

Washington Nationals shortstop CJ Abrams kicked off the game with a bang during Wednesday's matchup against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Abrams welcomed Dodgers rookie Logan Knack to the majors with a 392-foot leadoff blast to start the game. The Nats didn't need much more as they pulled off the 2-0 victory. Abrams is on fire […]

Shohei Ohtani Collects Three Hits

Los Angeles Dodgers designated hitter Shohei Ohtani continued his stellar stretch at the plate during Wednesday's game against the Washington Nationals. The two-way superstar went 3-for-4 at the plate with a stolen base during their 2-0 loss. This performance marked the 10th time this season that Ohtani has posted a multi-hit game. The 29-year-old is […]

Bryan De La Cruz Homers In Loss

Miami Marlins outfielder Bryan De La Cruz has been heating up at the plate over the last week or so. On Wednesday, De La Cruz went 2-for-4 with a solo home run during the 3-1 loss to the San Francisco Giants. The 27-year-old is currently on a six-game hitting streak. During that span, De La […]

Salvador Perez Smacks Go-Ahead Homer

Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez (groin) made a significant impact during his return to the lineup on Wednesday. The 33-year-old backstop is playing through a Grade 1 left groin strain that he suffered earlier in the week. On Wednesday, Perez smacked a go-ahead two-run home run off right-hander Michael Kopech in the eighth inning. […]

Cedric Mullins Blasts Walkoff Homer

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Cedric Mullins came up clutch for his team during Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Twins. There was some thought that Mullins would return to the leadoff spot this season, but that doesn't appear to be the case. Instead, Mullins normally sits in the sixth spot where he has hit well this season. […]

Michael King Strikes Out 10 Batters

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Michael King looked excellent during Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. The right-hander took a tough loss after allowing one run and two hits over 7 2/3 innings of work. It was an 109-pitch game for King who struck out 10 batters over the course of the afternoon. After this […]

Andre Drummond Listed As Questionable For Wednesday

Chicago Bulls center Andre Drummond (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Wednesday's play-in game against the Atlanta Hawks. The big man has missed the last three games due to a left ankle sprain. His absence has opened up more playing time for Dalen Terry in the rotation. He has put together some decent performances […]

Ayo Dosunmu Uncertain For Wednesday

Chicago Bulls guard Ayo Dosunmu (quad) is listed as questionable ahead of Wednesday's play-in matchup against the Atlanta Hawks. It's uncertain if the young guard will be ready to play after he missed the final four games of the regular season. His absence would be a significant hit to the Bulls rotation. Javonte Green would […]

Celtics Want To Extend Derrick White

Boston Celtics guard Derrick White might've found a long term home. Recently, president of basketball operations Brad Stevens said that he wants to keep White around for as long as possible. This statement makes sense after the strong campaign that White posted during this season. He averaged 15.2 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 5.2 assists in […]

De'Anthony Melton Misses Tuesday's Practice

Philadelphia 76ers guard De'Anthony Melton (back) was unable to suit up for Tuesday's practice, according to head coach Nick Nurse. It seems unlikely that Melton is going to be able to suit up for Wednesday's play-in game against the Miami Heat. His absence won't be a huge loss, but it does impact their rotation. The […]

Joel Embiid Practices On Tuesday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) was able to get through a full practice session on Tuesday. The big man is currently listed as questionable ahead of Wednesday's game against the Miami Heat. Head coach Nick Nurse said that Embiid sat out of the regular-season finale for precautionary reasons. It's hard to believe the reigning […]

Mitchell Robinson Avoids Injury

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson appears to be fine heading into the postseason. The big man was able to practice without any issues on Tuesday, according to head coach Tom Thibodeau. He continued by saying Robinson is fine after sitting out the second half of Sunday's game. This is good news for the Knicks […]

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) participated in a portion of Tuesday's practice, according to head coach Ty Lue. Leonard is working his way back to the court after missing the final eight games of the regular season. There is some concern over his status heading into the first-round series against the Dallas Mavericks. […]

Esteury Ruiz Sitting Out On Tuesday

Oakland Athletics outfielder Esteury Ruiz (rest) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. This seems a bit odd after Ruiz blasted a solo home run off the bench during Monday's game. It'll be JJ Bleday continuing to start in center field with Lawrence Butler and Seth Brown […]

Tyler Wells Placed On Injured List

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Tyler Wells (elbow) has been placed on the 15-day injured list on Tuesday. The right-hander will take a few weeks off while he recovers from right elbow inflammation. Wells hasn't looked too good this season with a 5.87 ERA and 1.37 WHIP through three starts. Despite that, Wells is still worth […]

Nick Nastrini To Remain In Rotation

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Nick Nastrini will stick in the rotation for at least one more start. The organization has announced that Nastrini will make the start against the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday. The right-hander has earned the chance to stay in the rotation after a solid MLB debut on Monday. The 24-year-old allowed […]

Justin Verlander To Start On Friday Or Saturday

Houston Astros starting pitcher Justin Verlander (shoulder) is set to make his return from the injured list. The veteran right-hander will make his season debut either Friday or Saturday versus the Washington Nationals. The 41-year-old has been brought along slowly while he recovers from a shoulder injury. He's finally ready to return after having no […]

Salvador Perez Remains Out On Tuesday

Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez (groin) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Chicago White Sox. The veteran catcher has been diagnosed with a Grade 1 left groin strain. Despite that, Perez hasn't been placed on the injured list and is considered as day-to-day. It wouldn't be shocking to […]

Jeimer Candelario Scratched From Tuesday's Lineup

Cincinnati Reds third baseman Jeimer Candelario (illness) has been scratched from the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Seattle Mariners. Hopefully, this is a minor issue and will only force Candelario to miss one game. In the meantime, Santiago Espinal will cover third base and bat eighth on Tuesday night. Fantasy managers should […]

Ke'Bryan Hayes Scratched On Tuesday

Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes (undisclosed) has been scratched from the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the New York Mets. The organization has not given a reason as to why Hayes was pulled ahead of the game. Jared Triolo will be taking over third base and bat third for Tuesday's game. Fantasy […]

Christian Bethancourt Lands On Injured List

Miami Marlins catcher Christian Bethancourt (illness) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Monday. It appears Bethancourt is dealing with some sort of illness and he'll be sidelined for at least a week or so. In a corresponding move, the Marlins have selected catcher Jhonny Pereda from Triple-A Jacksonville. He figures to split […]

Jonathan Cannon Named As Tuesday's Starter

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Jonathan Cannon has been named as the starter ahead of Tuesday's game against the Kansas City Royals. The right-hander will be called up after striking out 11 batters over 9 2/3 innings in Triple-A Charlotte this season. He clearly has swing-and-miss stuff, but we'll see how it translates at the […]

Jhoan Duran To Throw On Tuesday

Minnesota Twins relief pitcher Jhoan Duran (oblique) is set to throw a bullpen session ahead of Tuesday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. The right-hander continues to work his way back from an oblique strain that has sidelined him since the start of the season. The 26-year-old could progress to facing live hitters if Tuesday's session […]

Christian Yelich Sitting Out On Monday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich (back) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the San Diego Padres. The veteran outfielder has been sidelined since being forced to exit early on Friday due to back discomfort. For the moment Yelich is considered as day-to-day, but fantasy managers shouldn't be shocked if Yelich […]

Brendan Rodgers Scratched On Monday

Colorado Rockies infielder Brendan Rodgers (illness) has been scratched from the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies due to an illness. For now, fantasy managers should consider Rodgers to be day-to-day and check back on Tuesday to see if he's feeling good enough to return to action. In the meantime, Alan […]

Seiya Suzuki Placed On Injured List

Chicago Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki (oblique) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Monday. This is a tough blow to both fantasy managers and the Cubs roster. Suzuki was hitting .305 with an .893 OPS along with three homers and 13 RBI over the first 15 games of the season. Barring any setbacks, […]

Gerrit Cole Expected To Throw On Tuesday

New York Yankees starting pitcher Gerrit Cole (elbow) didn't throw at all on Monday, according to manager Aaron Boone. The right-hander continues to slowly work his way back up from an elbow injury that has sidelined him since the beginning of the season. It sounds like the plan is to have Cole rest on Monday […]
