Oakland Athletics infielder Aledmys Diaz (hamstring) was forced to exit early during Saturday's contest against the Cincinnati Reds.

It's uncertain why head […]

Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves is set to become a free agent at the end of the season. Despite that, Reaves recently mentioned that he'd like to stay with the team.

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (hamstring) is listed as probable for Sunday's Game 1 against the New York Knicks. The big man has been banged up over the last few games, but continues to play.

New York Knicks guard Quentin Grimes (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's Game 1 against the Miami Heat.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) is considered doubtful for Game 1 on Sunday. Head coach Doc Rivers doesn't expect Embiid to suit up after missing practice on Saturday.

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill (back) is returning to the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Fantasy […]

Julio Rodriguez Removed From Saturday's Game

Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez was removed early during Saturday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. It's uncertain what happened as Rodriguez was removed for A.J. Pollock in the sixth inning. The team hasn't given any information on why Rodriguez was taken out, so it's assumed he's dealing with some kind of injury. The Mariners […]

Josh Lowe To Sit Out On Friday

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Josh Lowe is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Chicago White Sox. It's the second time in the last three games that Lowe has sat out versus right-handed pitching. It appears the return of outfielder Jose Siri has begun to cut into Lowe's playing time. Lowe is […]

Caleb Kilian Recalled, Starting Saturday

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Caleb Kilian has been recalled from Triple-A to start against the Miami Marlins on Saturday, according to manager David Ross. The Cubs starting rotation is banged up a bit, so they will see if the 25-year-old can help fill the void. In three starts last season, Kilian posted a rough 10.32 […]

Tommy Edman Sitting On Friday

St. Louis Cardinals second baseman Tommy Edman is absent from the starting lineup against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday. The 27-year-old will now sit out two of the last three games for rest purposes. The return of Paul DeJong has cut into the playing time of Edman. On Friday, DeJong will cover shortstop and […]

German Marquez Could Require Surgery

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher German Marquez (triceps) could require season-ending surgery. The right-hander told reporters on Friday that he might need to get Tommy John surgery. Marquez exited during Wednesday's start after experiencing pain in his triceps. Normally, players are optimistic in these situations, so to hear Marquez say he might need season-ending surgery isn't […]

Josh Rojas Absent On Friday

Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Josh Rojas is absent from Friday's starting lineup against the Colorado Rockies. It appears the left-handed slugger is going to get a routine rest day on Friday. This move makes sense considering the D-Backs are facing left-hander Kyle Freeland here. Evan Longoria will cover third base and bat fifth versus Freeland. […]

Drew Rucinski Activated, Starting On Friday

Los Angeles Clippers center Mason Plumlee is set to become a free agent this season. Recently, Clippers team president Lawrence Frank mentioned he'd love to bring back Plumlee this offseason.

Luke Kennard Questionable For Game 6

Memphis Grizzlies guard Luke Kennard (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Game 6 against the Los Angeles Lakers. Kennard was forced to exit early during Game 5 due to a left shoulder injury.

Minnesota Timberwolves center Naz Reid has exceeded expectations this season and earned himself a nice contract extension in the future.

Dorian Finney-Smith Has Successful Surgery

Brooklyn Nets forward Dorian Finney-Smith (finger) underwent successful surgery to correct a contracture of the right pinkie finger.

The organization mentioned that Finney-Smith should be cleared for […]

Jericho Sims Expected To Be Ready For Training Camp

New York Knicks center Jericho Sims (shoulder) underwent successful surgery on his right shoulder. The big man is expected to be ready for training camp next season.
