Regardless, fantasy managers who […]

Twins Acquire Dylan Floro

Miami Marlins relief pitcher Dylan Floro has been traded to the Minnesota Twins in exchange for right-handed reliever Jorge Lopez. It's a bit odd to see two contending organizations swap relievers.

St. Louis Cardinals catcher Willson Contreras (hip) is returning to the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. He was pulled from Saturday's game due to hip tightness.

New York Knicks guard Trevor Keels is expected to be waived by the organization. This news comes days after Keels reportedly signed a two-way deal with the team.

Kyle Anderson Will Play In World Cup

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Kyle Anderson (eye) is set to represent China in the upcoming World Cup. That is good news after Anderson underwent left eye surgery in mid-May.

Knicks Waive Duane Washington Jr.

New York Knicks guard Duane Washington Jr. has been waived by the organization on Monday. The 23-year-old finished last season on a two-way deal with the Knicks.

Free-agent guard Jaylen Nowell is not expected to return to the Minnesota Timberwolves this upcoming season.

Suns Remain Interest In T.J. McConnell

Indiana Pacers guard T.J. McConnell could be on the move this offseason with the Phoenix Suns showing interest in him.

Pistons Attempting To Move Killian Hayes

The Detroit Pistons have recently engaged in trade talks surrounding guard Killian Hayes.

Texas Rangers outfielder Adolis Garcia (hand) remains out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Houston Astros. The 30-year-old slugger was hit by a pitch on the hand during Saturday's game. He sat out of Sunday's contest as a precaution and will miss this game as well. It sounds like a day-to-day issue, […]

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Raimel Tapia has decided to elect free agency on Monday.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Kris Bryant (finger) is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Washington Nationals.

However, he's put together a solid .710 OPS with one home run and three steals since the All-Star break. Hopefully, it's a sign of good things […]

Reds Willing To Trade Jonathan India

Cincinnati Reds infielder Jonathan India could be on the trade block as the trade deadline quickly approaches. The 26-year-old appears to be the odd man out as the Reds continue to call up their young infield prospects. That being said, the Reds appear to be ready to move India in order to open up a […]

Trevor Story Beginning Rehab Assignment On Monday

Boston Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story (elbow) had his minor league rehab assignment with Triple-A Worcester moved to Monday.
