Quintez Cephus Released By Lions

Detroit Lions wide receiver Quintez Cephus was suspended for violating the NFL's gambling policy on Friday. Afterwards, the Lions decided to release the 25-year-old wideout. That isn't shocking considering Cephus receives an indefinite suspension that requires a minimum one-year ban. The former fifth-round pick has been mainly a depth option over the first three seasons […]

Cedric Mullins Moves Back Into Leadoff Spot

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Cedric Mullins will shift back into the leadoff spot for Friday's game against the Detroit Tigers. The left-handed slugger hit ninth against a southpaw on Thursday, but is back at the top of the lineup now. This is a situation to monitor for fantasy managers with Mullins in a slump at the […]

Franmil Reyes Placed On Paternity Leave List

Kansas City Royals outfielder Franmil Reyes has been placed on the paternity leave list on Friday. The right-handed slugger is expected to miss two or three games while he's away from the team. In the meantime, catcher Freddy Fermin has been recalled from the minors. He appeared in three games last season, but is still […]

Mookie Betts Could Play Shortstop On Saturday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts has been playing in the outfield throughout a majority of his career. However, Betts does have infield experience and played second base for the first time on Thursday. The Dodgers desperately need help at shortstop right now with Chris Taylor (side) and Miguel Rojas (hamstring) both injured. That being […]

Ronny Mauricio Playing Second Base

New York Mets shortstop Ronny Mauricio has been on fire at the plate during his first 18 games at Triple-A this season. Unfortunately for him, Francisco Lindor is locked in as the starting shortstop in New York. That being said, the Mets have decided to shift Mauricio over to second base. The 22-year-old will get […]

Kris Bubic To Undergo Tommy John Surgery

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Kris Bubic (elbow) was recently placed on the 15-day injured list due to a left flexor strain. Now, the Royals have revealed that Bubic will need to undergo Tommy John surgery. That means, Bubic will miss the rest of the 2023 season and probably the beginning of 2024. This is […]

Malcolm Brogdon Wins Sixth Man Of The Year Award

Jaylen Nowell Uncertain For Game 3

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Jaylen Nowell (knee) is listed as questionable for Friday's Game 3 against the Denver Nuggets. He carried a questionable tag into last game and ended up playing 16 minutes in that one. The expectation is that Nowell will likely suit up again for Game 3, but fantasy managers will have to check […]

Cedi Osman Questionable For Game 3

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Cedi Osman (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's Game 3 against the New York Knicks. It appears Osman picked up a left ankle sprain during the Game 2 victory. He finished with five points and six rebounds in 23 minutes of action during that contest. His absence would likely mean an […]

Cameron Payne Unavailable On Thursday

Phoenix Suns guard Cameron Payne (back) has been ruled out for Thursday's Game 3 against the Los Angeles Clippers. The 28-year-old continues to deal with a lingering back issue that will leave the Suns shorthanded on the perimeter. The absence of Payne should mean more playing time for Landry Shamet. However, Devin Booker and Chris […]

Gary Payton II Ruled Out For Game 3

Golden State Warriors guard Gary Payton II (illness) has been ruled out for Thursday's Game 3 against the Sacramento Kings. He was originally listed as questionable for this game after missing Wednesday's practice. It sounds like Payton is still feeling under the weather, so he'll sit out this game. That's a tough blow to the […]

Andrew Wiggins, Jordan Poole Available For Game 3

Golden State Warriors guards Andrew Wiggins (shoulder) and Jordan Poole (ankle) are both available for Thursday's Game 3 against the Sacramento Kings. Both players were uncertain to suit up coming into this game, but will give it a go here. That is good news for the Warriors with Draymond Green suspended for this contest. Wiggins […]

Javonte Williams Without Clear Timetable

Denver Broncos running back Javonte Williams (knee) is unlikely to be ready for the beginning of the 2023 season. The 23-year-old continues to work his way back from an ACL tear that he suffered in Week 4 of last season. Broncos general manager George Paton recently said that Williams will be back at some point, […]

Tyler Bass Signs Four-Year Extension

Buffalo Bills kicker Tyler Bass has agreed to a four-year extension with the organization. The deal is reportedly up to $21 million, but does include $12.9 million in guaranteed money. This is a well deserved extension for the 26-year-old who is one of the more reliable kickers in the league right now. Bass has converted […]

Cowboys Exercise Option On Ceedee Lamb

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb will be with the team through 2024. The organization exercised the fifth-year team option on the young wideout. The 24-year-old will receive $17.9 million guaranteed for the 2024 campaign. However, he'll only earn $2.52 million for the upcoming season. Lamb is coming off a 100-plus catch season with over […]

Rudy Gobert Questionable For Game 3

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (back) is listed as questionable for Game 3 against the Denver Nuggets on Friday. The big man has been dealing with a lingering back issue lately, but continues to play through it. The Wolves are already down 0-2 in the series, so losing Gobert certainly wouldn't help. Karl-Anthony Towns would […]

Andrew Wiggins Could Miss Game 3

Golden State Warriors guard Andrew Wiggins (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Thursday's Game 3 against the Sacramento Kings. It's worth noting that Wiggins has played in each of the last two games despite dealing with the shoulder issue. He finished with 22 points and five rebounds in 39 minutes of action in Game 2. […]

Jordan Poole Could Miss Game 3

Golden State Warriors guard Jordan Poole (ankle) is listed as questionable heading into Game 3 versus the Sacramento Kings. Poole was questionable on Monday, but still managed to play in the game. He suited up for Game 2 as well, but struggled with only four points and three rebounds in the loss. Fellow guards Gary […]

Gary Payton II Uncertain For Thursday

Golden State Warriors guard Gary Payton II (illness) is listed as questionable for Thursday's Game 3 against the Sacramento Kings. This is not good timing with Andrew Wiggins (shoulder) and Jordan Poole (ankle) also on the injury report. During Game 2, Payton finished with 13 points and six rebounds in 27 minutes of action. His […]

Nikola Jokic Will Play In Game 2

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (wrist) will suit up for Wednesday's Game 2 matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves. As expected, Jokic will be available despite dealing with a sprained wrist on his shooting arm. It would take a lot for the 28-year-old to sit out of a playoff game. This sounds like a minor injury, […]

Jose Alvarado Notches Second Save

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Jose Alvarado came in to close down Wednesday's game against the Chicago White Sox. The left-hander has been the Phillies best option out of the bullpen this season. He recorded his first save on Tuesday and earned his second during this game. The Phillies have Craig Kimbrel and Seranthony Dominguez as […]

Adam Ottavino Converts Third Save

New York Mets relief pitcher Adam Ottavino was called upon to shut the door during Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Normally, David Robertson is the closer for the Mets, but he pitched during the eighth inning of this game. That being said, Ottavino was handed the ball to protect a three-run lead. The […]

Chris Taylor Gets Back Into Action

Los Angeles Dodgers utility man Chris Taylor (side) was removed from Monday's game against the New York Mets. Afterwards, the organization said they planned to shut down Taylor for a few days. He wasn't in the lineup on Wednesday, but did get into action during the contest. Taylor pinch-ran for J.D. Martinez during the eighth […]

Madison Bumgarner Could Miss Next Start

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Madison Bumgarner is off to a horrendous beginning to the season. The left-hander was torched for seven runs over three innings of work during Wednesday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. He holds a 10.26 ERA, 2.40 WHIP and 10/15 K/BB ratio across four starts this season. Following Wednesday's game, manager […]

Starling Marte Exits Early On Wednesday

New York Mets outfielder Starling Marte exited early during Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Marte was replaced by Mark Canha in right field to open up the sixth inning. It's uncertain why Marte was taken out of the game because it didn't look like he suffered an injury. He was 0-for-3 before being […]

Christian Arroyo Available On Wednesday

Boston Red Sox infielder Christian Arroyo (hamstring) is available for Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Twins. He remains out of the lineup for the second straight game, but is available off the bench, according to manager Alex Cora. The 27-year-old suffered an injury during Monday's contest and hasn't played since then. Emmanuel Valdez will cover […]

Carlos Carrasco Placed On Injured List

New York Mets starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco (elbow) has been placed on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to April 16. The right-hander is dealing with right elbow inflammation, which could possibly explain his struggles to begin the season Carrasco holds a 8.56 ERA and a 1.61 WHIP through 13 2/3 innings this season. In a […]

Corbin Carroll Sitting Out On Tuesday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Carroll was scratched from the lineup, but this is nothing more than a routine day off, according to manager Torey Lovullo. Fantasy managers shouldn't have to worry about Carroll dealing with any kind of injury. […]

Jacob deGrom Expected To Make Next Start

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Jacob deGrom (wrist) was forced to exit early during his start versus the Kansas City Royals on Monday. Luckily, the right-hander is feeling better now and is expected to make his next scheduled start. It sounds like the 34-year-old is dealing with wrist soreness, so this could be a day-to-day type […]

Mookie Betts Placed On Paternity List

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts has been placed on the paternity leave list on Tuesday. He will be away from the team for at least two days due to the birth of his child. In a corresponding move, the Dodgers have recalled Luke Williams from Triple-A. The 26-year-old will provide some extra outfield depth […]
