Zac Gallen Continues Excellence On Wednesday

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Zac Gallen has been one of the best pitchers in baseball early in the season. The right-hander continued his strong campaign versus the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday. Gallen recorded a season-high 12 strikeouts over 6 1/3 shutout innings during Wednesday's victory. The 27-year-old extended his scoreless streak to 28 consecutive […]

Jose Quintana To Be Re-Evaluated On Friday

New York Mets starting pitcher Jose Quintana (ribs) is set to be re-evaluated on Friday. They will determine whether or not Quintana will be cleared to begin a throwing program. The left-hander hasn't thrown since March after undergoing a bone graft surgery on his ribs. It sounds like Quintana is still quite a bit away […]

George Springer Considered Day-To-Day

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (hand) was forced to exit early during Wednesday's game against the Chicago White Sox. The right-handed slugger left after getting hit by a pitch in the hand. The organization says the X-rays were negative, so Springer is considered day-to-day right now. It sounds like he has avoided serious injury, […]

Andrew Chafin Converts Fourth Save

Arizona Diamondbacks relief pitcher Andrew Chafin was called upon to protect a two-run lead against the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday. The left-hander immediately ran into trouble. He walked the first batter he faced and the following batter reached on a fielding error. Chafin settled down after that and got the next three batters out […]

Yonathan Daza Remains Out On Wednesday

Colorado Rockies outfielder Yonathan Daza (hand) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Guardians. Daza exited early on Sunday after being hit by a pitch on the hand. Luckily, the X-rays were negative, but Daza will sit out his third straight game on Wednesday. Brenton Doyle will cover center field […]

Yordan Alvarez Continues To Sit Out

Houston Astros designated hitter Yordan Alvarez (neck) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. The left-handed slugger will miss his third game in a row due to neck discomfort. At this point, it seems likely that Alvarez is going to be placed on the injured list. In the […]

Cody Bellinger Placed On Paternity List

Chicago Cubs outfielder Cody Bellinger has been placed on the paternity list on Tuesday. The left-handed slugger will be away from the team for a few days for the birth of his child. In a corresponding move, the Cubs have recalled Nelson Velasquez from Triple-A to take Bellinger's spot on the active roster. The 24-year-old […]

Tony Gonsolin Will Start Wednesday

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tony Gonsolin (ankle) will make his season debut on Wednesday against the Pittsburgh Pirates, according to manager Dave Roberts. The right-hander was sidelined to begin the season due to an ankle injury. The expectation is that Gonsolin is going to throw four innings during his outing on Wednesday. It appears […]

Joey Gallo Resting On Tuesday

Minnesota Twins outfielder Joey Gallo is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the New York Yankees. This appears to be a routine rest day for Gallo versus a left-handed starting pitcher. Gallo has been off to a decent start, hitting .243 with six home runs and 12 RBI in 12 games this […]

Luis Arraez Continues To Sit Out

Miami Marlins second baseman Luis Arraez (knee) will remain out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Braves. This marks the third game in a row that Arraez has missed due to left knee soreness. He was also dealing with a left finger issue last week, so maybe Arraez re-aggravated that injury. […]

MJ Melendez Remains Out On Tuesday

Kansas City Royals catcher MJ Melendez (back) remains out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The left-handed slugger will miss his second straight game after exiting early on Sunday due to back tightness. The team hasn't placed Melendez on the injured list, so hopefully this is only a minor injury. […]

J.D. Martinez Sitting Out On Tuesday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder J.D. Martinez (back) is being held out of Tuesday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The veteran slugger reportedly felt something in his back during Sunday's contest. The Dodgers are going to play it safe and have Martinez sit out for at least one game. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect Martinez to miss […]

Sal Frelick To Miss Significant Time

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Sal Frelick (thumb) was recently placed on the 7-day minor-league injured list. He suffered a left thumb sprain last week, which ended up requiring him to have surgery. The 23-year-old underwent successful UCL repair surgery on Tuesday. He's expected to miss 6-8 weeks while he recovers. That is a tough blow with […]

Rockets Hire Ime Udoka As Next Head Coach

The Houston Rockets have decided to hire Ime Udoka as the next head coach of the organization. They parted ways with Stephen Silas roughly three weeks ago. Udoka took the Boston Celtics to the NBA Finals during his first season as head coach. His team finished top ten team both offensively and defensively. However, Udoka […]

Victor Oladipo Could Return In Six Months

Miami Heat guard Victor Oladipo (knee) suffered a season-ending knee injury during Game 3 of their playoff series against the Milwaukee Bucks. The 30-year-old will miss the rest of the season with a torn left patellar tendon in his left knee. The organization is hopeful that Oladipo can resume basketball activities in six months. The […]

Dejounte Murray Suspended For Game 5

Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray has been suspended for the upcoming Game 5 matchup against the Boston Celtics. The NBA recently opened an investigation after Murray made contact with official Gediminas Petraitis as he was walking off the court last game. The league has decided to suspend Murray for Game 5, which could be their […]

Paul George Progressing Well

Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George (knee) is expected to miss the entire first-round series against the Phoenix Suns. The good news is, George is progressing well in recently workouts. He reportedly is moving better than he did last week, but it's unlikely that he suits up in this series. The Clippers haven't given an […]

De'Aaron Fox Doubtful For Game 5

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (finger) is considered doubtful for Wednesday's Game 5 matchup against the Golden State Warriors. The 25-year-old has suffered a fracture in his left index finger. This is a huge blow to the Kings who are currently tied at 2-2 in their playoff series with Golden State. Davion Mitchell is expected […]

George Springer To Sit Out On Monday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Chicago White Sox. This appears to be a routine rest day for Springer on Monday. He probably needs it after starting in 16 straight games. It'll be Cavan Biggio drawing a start in right field and batting […]

Yordan Alvarez Sitting Out On Monday

Houston Astros outfielder Yordan Alvarez (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. This appears to be nothing more than a routine rest day for the left-handed slugger. Alvarez is well deserving of a day off after what he has done at the plate early in the season. […]

Ryan McMahon Scratched On Monday

Colorado Rockies third baseman Ryan McMahon (illness) has been scratched from the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Cleveland Guardians. It appears the left-handed slugger is dealing with a non-COVID related illness. His absence will mean that Mike Moustakas takes over third base and bats fifth against right-hander Cal Quantrill. Fantasy managers should adjust […]

Brusdar Graterol Placed On Paternity List

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Brusdar Graterol has been placed on the paternity list on Monday. He'll join teammates Evan Phillips and Max Muncy who are also on the paternity list right now. At this point, it's probably a toss-up on who is going to close out games for the Dodgers with Graterol and Phillips […]

Max Muncy Placed On Paternity List

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Max Muncy has been placed on the paternity list on Monday. The left-handed slugger is going to be away from the team for a few days. Fantasy managers should adjust their lineups accordingly with the red-hot Muncy out of town. He's slashing .254/.411/.718 with 11 homers, 21 RBI in 22 games […]

Javier Baez Returning On Monday

Detroit Tigers shortstop Javier Baez (finger) is returning to the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. Baez missed Sunday's game after he jammed his finger while stealing a base on Saturday. It appears that this was only a minor issue as he's back in the lineup here. Possibly, the day off helped […]

Michael Busch Recalled From Minors

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Michael Busch is getting called up to the big league roster. The 25-year-old is set to join the Dodgers for their series opener against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday. The team is in need of another bat with Max Muncy gone for a few days on the paternity leave list. Busch […]

Kawhi Leonard Misses Monday's Practice

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) was unable to participate in practice on Monday. That is not a good sign for Leonard's status for the upcoming Game 5 matchup versus the Phoenix Suns. The Clippers are already without Paul George and continue to struggle with both their superstars injured. Russell Westbrook has stepped up, […]

Joel Embiid Hopeful For Next Series

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) is hopeful that he can get back in the lineup for the team's next series. The superstar center avoided a significant injury, but is still dealing with a knee sprain. That being said, the Sixers view the issue as a one week injury, but we'll see how Embiid progresses. […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Expected To Play Monday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (back) is expected to return to the court for Monday's Game 4 against the Miami Heat. The Bucks are in a tough spot, but it appears Antetokounmpo is on the verge of returning. The superstar forward has been banged up throughout the series, but the Bucks need this help to […]

Jordyn Brooks Hasn't Ruled Out Week 1 Return

Seattle Seahawks linebacker Jordyn Brooks (knee) hasn't ruled out a return for Week 1. Brooks is only three months removed from ACL surgery after suffering the injury in Week 17. It seems unlikely that Brooks would be able to return that quickly, but it sounds like he is ahead of schedule. It's hard to imagine […]

Jamal Adams Could Be Ready For Preseason

Seattle Seahawks defensive back Jamal Adams (quad) continues to work his way back from an injury that sidelined him basically all last season. The good new is, Adams is reportedly doing well in his recovery. Head coach Pete Carroll said Adams has a chance to be ready by the preseason. The addition of Julian Love […]
