Jalen Smith To Decline Player Option

Indiana Pacers forward Jalen Smith is expected to decline his $5.4 million player option for the 2024 season. This doesn't come as a surprise considering Smith should be able to earn much more than that in free agency. Smith posted career highs in field goal percentage and three-point percentage last season. He took a solid […]

Chris Paul Pushes Back Guaranteed Contract

Golden State Warriors guard Chris Paul has agreed to push back the date to his $30 million guaranteed contract for the 2024-2025 season. The veteran guard will push back the date until late Sunday night. Doing that gives the Warriors a chance to explore trade partners for the All-Star guard. Paul certainly isn't in his […]

James McArthur Tosses Scoreless Ninth

Kansas City Royals relief pitcher James McArthur was called upon to hold a one-run lead versus the Cleveland Guardians on Thursday. The right-hander tossed a scoreless ninth inning to earn his 14th save of the season. McArthur has been a little shaky this season with a 4.41 ERA across 31 appearances. He's not an elite […]

Corbin Burnes Earns Quality Start

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Corbin Burnes was able to keep his strong season going against the Texas Rangers on Thursday. The right-hander allowed one run while striking out five batters over seven innings of work in the win. Burnes did give up nine hits, but he was able to limit the damage to only one […]

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Cedric Mullins was hot at the plate during Thursday's game against the Texas Rangers. The veteran outfielder went 3-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in the blowout. The fourth inning blast by Mullins marked his fourth home run of the season. Mullins has been off to a slow start to […]

Gordon Graceffo Called Up To Majors

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Gordon Graceffo is reportedly being called up on Friday. The right-hander will provide some much-needed depth to the bullpen ahead of Friday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. The Cards are expected to start Andre Pallante and have Graceffo could out of the bullpen behind him. Graceffo holds a 3.84 ERA, […]

Alex Faedo Activated From Injured List

Detroit Tigers relief pitcher Alex Faedo (hip) has been activated from the 15-day injured list on Thursday. The right-hander will make his return after missing the last three weeks due to right hip inflammation. Before going down, Faedo was a solid contributor in the Tigers bullpen. He holds a 3.38 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, and 29/13 […]

Lars Nootbaar To Begin Rehab Assignment On Friday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Lars Nootbaar (oblique) will begin a minor league rehab assignment on Friday with Double-A Springfield. Nootbaar told reporters on Thursday that the plan is to play five or six games before returning to St. Louis. The 26-year-old has been sidelined since late-May due to an oblique strain. When healthy, Nootbaar is […]

Jake Fraley Sitting Out On Thursday

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Jake Fraley (calf) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Thursday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. This doesn't come as much of a surprise after Fraley was scratched from Wednesday's lineup due to a lower leg contusion. He underwent an MRI on his right calf on Thursday, but he's still […]

Will Brennan Placed On Injured List

Cleveland Guardians outfielder Will Brennan (rib) has been placed on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to June 25. This move was expected after Brennan missed some time due to rib-cage inflammation. There isn't a timetable for his return right now, so the hope is that this won't be a lengthy absence. In the meantime, Daniel […]

Jeimer Candelario Absent On Thursday

Cincinnati Reds third baseman Jeimer Candelario (knee) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Thursday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. The switch-hitter will get another day off to rest and manage his right knee tendinitis issue. The hope is that Candelario will be fine within a few days and won't require a stint […]

Carlos Correa Exits Early On Thursday

Minnesota Twins shortstop Carlos Correa (arm) was forced to exit early during Thursday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Correa took a 94-mph fastball off his right arm which forced him to exit the contest. The assumption is that the 29-year-old will undergo further testing to determine the severity of the injury. Kyle Farmer shifted over […]

Brandon Drury Remains Out On Thursday

Los Angeles Angels infielder Brandon Drury (illness) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Thursday's game against the Detroit Tigers. The veteran slugger is set to miss his seven straight game due to an illness. It's honestly surprising that the Angels haven't placed Drury on the injured list considering he has been out since […]

Jose Altuve Continues Hot Stretch

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve was once again solid at the plate during Wednesday's game against the Colorado Rockies. The veteran infielder went 2-for-5 with a pair of RBIs and two stolen bases in the win. Unsurprisingly, Altuve was the offensive catalyst for this team. The 34-year-old has been hot with a .365 batting […]

Spencer Arrighetti Records 10 Strikeouts

Houston Astros starting pitcher Spencer Arrighetti was impressive on the mound during Wednesday's outing against the Colorado Rockies. The rookie right-hander struck out 10 batters over seven shutout innings during Wednesday's win. The Rockies' hitters only managed three hits off Arrighetti as he put together his best performance of the season. It's worth noting that […]

Bryan Reynolds Extends Hitting Streak To 23 Games

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds officially owns the longest hit streak of the 2024 season. The switch-hitter singled in the first inning of Wednesday's game to extend his hitting streak to 23 games. It was his lone hit of the afternoon, but he's still in the middle of a stellar stretch of play. Reynolds is […]

Luis L. Ortiz Notches Seven Strikeouts

Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Luis L. Ortiz rebounded nicely during Wednesday's win over the Cincinnati Reds. The 25-year-old recorded seven strikeouts and allowed one run over six innings of work. This was a nice bounce back performance for Ortiz after he gave up six runs during his outing last Friday. The former top prospect has shown […]

George Kirby Looks Impressive In Win

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher George Kirby looked sharp on the mound during Wednesday's start against the Tampa Bay Rays. The right-hander struck out seven batters while allowing only one run over six innings during Wednesday's win. Kirby gave up an early run off the bat of Yandy Diaz, but he held the Rays in check […]

Brandon Marsh Records Four Hits

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Brandon Marsh was on a tear at the plate during Wednesday's game against the Detroit Tigers. The left-handed slugger went 4-for-4 with a home run and four RBI in the win. Marsh took right-hander Kelder Montero deep in the fourth inning to give the Phillies the lead and they never looked back. […]

Miguel Sano Activated On Tuesday

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Miguel Sano (knee) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. The veteran slugger is back in the mix following a two-month absence due to a left knee injury. Sano hasn't brought much to the table this season with one home run and five RBI in 21 games. […]

Liam Hendriks To Throw This Week

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Liam Hendriks (elbow) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session this week. The 35-year-old will throw his first session since undergoing Tommy John surgery last August. It sounds like Hendriks is making progress, but still isn't expected to contribute to the Red Sox bullpen this season. This is a step […]

Dallas Keuchel Acquired By Brewers

The Milwaukee Brewers have acquired starting pitcher Dallas Keuchel from the Seattle Mariners in exchange for cash considerations. The veteran southpaw signed a minor league deal with the Mariners in late-May. He currently holds a 3.93 ERA, 1.21 WHIP, and 45/22 K/BB across 13 starts in the minors this season. The 36-year-old might still have […]

Hoby Milner Serving As Opener

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Hoby Milner will serve as the opener for Tuesday's game against the Texas Rangers. The veteran southpaw will make his first start after 269 career relief appearances dating back to his MLB debut in 2017. The expectation is that Milner will only pitch the first inning or two. After that, Bryse […]

Brandon Drury Remains Out On Tuesday

Los Angeles Angels infielder Brandon Drury (illness) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Oakland Athletics. The veteran slugger will miss his fifth straight game while dealing with an illness. The Angels haven't placed Drury on the injured list, but it shouldn't be completely ruled out. Luis Guillorme will fill […]

Kyle Tucker Making Solid Progress

Houston Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker (shin) was able to some swings with the bat on Sunday. The expectation is that Tucker is going to resume running within the next few days. Tucker is currently scheduled for a light throwing session on Friday. He'll likely go on a minor league rehab assignment soon after that. The […]

Randy Rodriguez To Serve As Opener

San Francisco Giants pitcher Randy Rodriguez will serve as the opener for Tuesday's game against the Chicago Cubs. It appears the Giants are going to go with a bullpen game here. Rodriguez will likely pitch a few innings, but probably not enough to factor into the decision. The 24-year-old holds a 4.82 ERA, 1.25 WHIP, […]

Max Kepler Returning On Tuesday

Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler (neck) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The left-handed slugger is back in the lineup following a three-game absence due to neck spasms. Kepler will bat cleanup and play right field against right-hander Brandon Pfaadt. Fantasy managers who have Kepler rostered can […]

Edwin Diaz Officially Suspended 10 Games

New York Mets relief pitcher Edwin Diaz has been suspended 10 games for violating the rules on foreign substances. The right-hander was tossed from Sunday's game against the Chicago Cubs before ever throwing a pitch. Diaz said afterwards that it was rosin on his hand, but it doesn't sound like he's going to appeal the […]
