Alex Verdugo Returning To The Lineup

Boston Red Sox outfielder Alex Verdugo (groin) is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the San Diego Padres. He was pulled from Wednesday's game due to tightness in his groin. However, Verdugo returns to the lineup after an off-day on Thursday, so it appears to be only a minor issue. He'll cover […]

Mike Trout Not In The Lineup

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout is not of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Minnesota Twins. Fantasy managers don't need to panic as this appears to be a routine day off for the superstar outfielder. The Angels will have Mickey Moniak cover center field and bat leadoff versus right-hander Joe Ryan on […]

Joey Gallo Won't Play On Friday

Minnesota Twins outfielder Joey Gallo (shin) is absent from the starting lineup for Friday's contest versus the Los Angeles Angels. The left-handed slugger left Wednesday's contest after fouling off a ball on his shin. Luckily, the X-rays came back negative, but it appears Gallo is still dealing with some soreness. Fantasy managers should expect Gallo […]

Jorge Polanco Absent On Friday

Minnesota Twins second baseman Jorge Polanco (hamstring) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. He was pulled from Wednesday's contest due to a mild left hamstring strain. The team is calling the injury a day-to-day issue, so Polanco hasn't been placed on the injured list. Hopefully, Polanco can […]

Yasmani Grandal To Remain Out On Friday

Chicago White Sox catcher Yasmani Grandal (hamstring) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Kansas City Royals. He was pulled from Wednesday's contest after re-aggravating his hamstring issue. This sounds like something that the White Sox are going to have to continue manage going forward. Manager Pedro Grifol said Grandal is […]

Starling Marte To Play On Friday

New York Mets outfielder Starling Marte (hand) is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Cleveland Guardians. The 34-year-old missed Thursday's game after getting hit by a pitch in the hand on Wednesday. It doesn't appear that it was a serious issue as Marte is back in the lineup after a one-game absence. […]

Eric Hosmer Gets Designated For Assignment

Chicago Cubs first baseman Eric Hosmer has been designated for assignment on Friday. Honestly, it was just a matter of time after Hosmer was recently moved to a bench role. The Cubs don't have the room for Hosmer on the roster with youngster Matt Mervis up and playing everyday at first base. Hosmer slashed .234/.280/.330 […]

Kevin Kiermaier Returning To The Lineup

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier (illness) is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. The left-handed slugger has missed each of the last two games due to a minor illness. He's back now, Kiermaier will cover center field and bat ninth versus right-hander Kyle Gibson on Friday. The 33-year-old […]

Tommy Edman Absent On Friday

St. Louis Cardinals second baseman Tommy Edman (abdomen) is absent from the starting lineup against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday. This isn't shocking considering Edman exited early on Thursday due to abdominal soreness. He suffered the injury when colliding with teammate Lars Nootbaar in the third inning. For now, the Cardinals are considering Edman […]

Cody Bellinger Placed On Injured List

Chicago Cubs outfielder Cody Bellinger (knee) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Friday. The left-handed slugger hyperextended his left knee while making a catch during Monday's game versus the Houston Astros. He missed a couple of games, but the Cubs have ultimately decided to place him on the injured list. In a […]

Nico Hoerner Officially Activated

Chicago Cubs second baseman Nico Hoerner (hamstring) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Friday. As expected, Hoerner will make his return to the field after a minimal injured list stint due to a hamstring strain. The 25-year-old has been off to a fantastic start, so hopefully the time off won't slow him […]

Yandy Diaz Remains Sidelined On Friday

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Yandy Diaz (groin) remains out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. The 31-year-old has been sidelined since suffering a groin injury on Sunday. The Rays continue to call him day-to-day, so the expectation is that Diaz will return this weekend. They haven't decided to use the […]

Nick Williams Joins Chargers

The Los Angeles Chargers have agreed to a one-year deal with defensive end Nick Williams. The 33-year-old has bounced around in the league since being drafted in the seventh round in 2013 by the Pittsburgh Steelers. Williams played with the New York Giants last season, but managed to only play in eight games due to […]

Jacob Martin Signs With Texans

The Houston Texans have reached an agreement with free-agent linebacker Jacob Martin on a one-year deal. The two sides have agreed on a reunion after Martin spent 2019-2021 with the Texans. He left and split time with the Denver Broncos and New York Jets last season. Martin didn't have much success elsewhere, so he'll join […]

Davante Adams Unlikely To Be Traded

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams recently voiced his displeasure with the direction of this organization. The Raiders haven't added much offensive talent over the offseason. They've also parted ways Adams' friend Derek Carr in exchange for quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. The six-time Pro Bowl wideout does not seem happy with the Raiders right now. […]

Lane Johnson Cleared For Football Activities

Philadelphia Eagles offensive tackle Lane Johnson (core) has been cleared to resume football activities. The four-time Pro Bowler played through a core muscle injury last postseason. He missed the final two games of the regular season because of the issue, but played through the pain in the playoffs. After that, Johnson underwent surgery in February […]

Preston Williams Cut By Panthers

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Preston Williams has been released by the organization. The 26-year-old put together a fairly strong rookie campaign in 2019. Since then, Williams has struggled to make the same kind of impact in the league. He only played in one game with the Panthers last season. He has 56 receptions, 787 yards, […]

Jacob Eason Released By Panthers

Carolina Panthers quarterback Jacob Eason has been released by the organization on Thursday. The former fourth round pick has seen very little NFL action since being drafted in 2020 by the Indianapolis Colts. The 25-year-old has completed 5-of-10 passing attempts for 84 yards with zero touchdowns and two interceptions in two career appearances. Possibly, Eason […]

Kylen Granson Could Be Cut Candidate

Indianapolis Colts tight end Kylen Granson isn't a lock for the 53-man roster, according to Zac Keefer of The Athletic. The former fourth round pick didn't have a ton of success last season. He hauled in 31 receptions for 302 yards in 13 games (four starts) for the Colts this past season. To be fair, […]

Jerome Ford Expected To Have Increased Role

Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford is expected to take on the No. 2 role this upcoming season. The departure of Kareem Hunt and D'Ernest Johnson have left the Browns without many options in the backfield. That being said, it appears the Browns are ready to see what they have in Ford. He'll likely handle […]

Damian Lillard Wants To Remain In Portland

Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard remains committed to the organization despite another disappointing campaign. The 32-year-old reportedly talks with the front office every day and is focused on helping the organization improve. It doesn't sound like the superstar guard plans to ask for a trade this offseason. It seems like every offseason there are […]

Jarred Vanderbilt Starting On Thursday

Los Angeles Lakers forward Jarred Vanderbilt will move into the starting five for Thursday's Game 2 against the Denver Nuggets. This is a bit surprising considering how well Rui Hachimura did versus Nikola Jokic last game. Despite that, it'll be Vanderbilt moving into the starting five, which will shift Dennis Schroder to the bench. The […]

Omer Yurtseven Questionable For Game 2

Miami Heat center Omer Yurtseven (nose) is listed as questionable for Friday's Game 2 versus the Boston Celtics. It's unknown where the 24-year-old picked up the nose contusion, but it might cause him to miss this game. However, Yurtseven hasn't been part of the regular rotation anyway. In fact, Yurtseven played in a total of […]

Malcolm Brogdon Considered Probable For Game 2

Boston Celtics guard Malcolm Brogdon (forearm) is considered probable for Friday's Game 2 matchup against the Miami Heat. The 30-year-old should be fine despite him dealing with a right forearm strain. It didn't seem to bother him during Wednesday's Game 1 loss. Brogdon finished 7-of-14 shooting with 19 points, one assist, and two rebounds. He […]

Jonathan Kuminga Receiving Strong Interest

Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga is expected to be on the trade block this offseason. Kuminga and his reps will meet with the Warriors this offseason to discuss his future with the team. It's possible that the two sides work out a deal where Kuminga becomes a consistent part of the rotation. Although, the […]

Trail Blazers Could Trade No. 3 Pick

The Portland Trail Blazers appear to be open to the idea of trading the No. 3 overall pick in the upcoming NBA Draft. They finished with the fifth-worst record in the league, but moved up to the three spot during the NBA lottery. That being said, the Blazers have reportedly made it known they'd trade […]

Mo Bamba Appears Ready To Play

Los Angeles Lakers center Mo Bamba (ankle) is reportedly no longer dealing with injury. The big man has been sidelined since the first round due to left ankle soreness. He received a PRP injection to help improve the healing last month. It appears that helped as the swelling has reportedly gone down. The 25-year-old hasn't […]

Cody Zeller Available For Wednesday

Miami Heat center Cody Zeller (illness) is available for Wednesday's Game 1 against the Boston Celtics. The big man was questionable coming into this contest due to an illness. However, it appears Zeller is feeling good enough to suit up here. However, it's unlikely that he's going to play a significant role in the rotation […]

Nick Gordon To Miss Significant Time

Minnesota Twins infielder Nick Gordon (shin) was forced to exit early during Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Gordon was removed from the contest after he fouled a ball off his shin. The X-rays revealed that Gordon has suffered a fractured right shin. At the moment, it's uncertain how much time Gordon is going […]

Dustin May Will Be Placed On Injured List

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Dustin May (elbow) was removed early during Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Twins. The right-hander was pulled after one inning due to right elbow pain. Now, May has been diagnosed with a flexor pronator strain, according to manager Dave Roberts. This is not good news coming from a pitcher who […]
