Braves Acquire Nicky Lopez

Kansas City Royals infielder Nicky Lopez has been traded to the Atlanta Braves in exchange for left-hander Taylor Hearn.

He's slashing […]

Chris Flexen To Start On Saturday

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Chris Flexen has been recalled to take the mound against the Oakland Athletics on Saturday.

Charlie Blackmon Takes Batting Practice On Saturday

Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon (hand) was able to take batting practice prior to Saturday's contest.

Evan Longoria Placed On 10-Day Injured List

Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Evan Longoria (back) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Saturday.

In a corresponding move, […]

Mets, Rangers Agree To Max Scherzer Trade

New York Mets starting pitcher Max Scherzer will waive his no-trade clause to go to the Texas Rangers.

Mookie Betts Scratched From Saturday's Lineup

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts (ankle) has been scratched from the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Cincinnati Reds.

Chicago Cubs infielder Nick Madrigal (hamstring) has been activated from the 10-day injured list ahead of Saturday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals.

Fantasy managers should make sure to get Candelario back […]

LaMonte Wade Jr. Not In The Lineup On Saturday

San Francisco Giants first baseman LaMonte Wade Jr. is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Boston Red Sox.

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (toe) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Friday.

Max Fried Scratched From Friday's Rehab Start

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Max Fried (illness) won't make his scheduled rehab start with Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday. The team hasn't exactly said why Fried was scratched, but fantasy managers shouldn't be alarmed.

San Antonio Spurs forward Sidy Cissoko has signed a three-year deal with the organization. The Spurs selected Cissoko with the 44th overall pick during June's NBA Draft.

Boston Celtics guard Derrick White will be the starting point guard heading into next season, according to head coach Joe Mazzulla.

The good news […]

Dodgers Acquire Amed Rosario

The Los Angeles Dodgers have acquired shortstop Amed Rosario from the Cleveland Guardians on Wednesday. This deal makes sense for the Dodgers who have experienced issues in the field all season long.

Freddy Tarnok Named Opener For Wednesday

Oakland Athletics pitcher Freddy Tarnok has been named the opener for Wednesday's game against the San Francisco Giants.
