It's uncertain if he's in Friday's lineup for their […]

Malik Cunningham Could See Significant Involvement

New England Patriots quarterback Malik Cunningham could find himself with a legitimate role in the offense this upcoming season. The undrafted quarterback was given $200,000 guaranteed, so he's likely to be involved in some way. The Patriots struggled in third-and-short situations last season. Cunningham rushed for over 3,000 yards during his time at Louisville. That […]

The former second round pick […]

Miami Heat guard Kyle Lowry will move into the starting five for Thursday's Game 5 versus the Boston Celtics. This was expected after Gabe Vincent (ankle) was ruled out earlier in the day.

New York Knicks guard Derrick Rose is most likely going to become a free agent this summer. The veteran guard has a $15.6 million team option for the 2023-2024 campaign. That is quite a lot of money for a player that the Knicks rarely used last season. Rose averaged 5.6 points, 1.5 rebounds, and 1.7 […]

Immanuel Quickley Could Get Significant Extension

New York Knicks guard Immanuel Quickley was a significant part of the rotation throughout this past season. The 23-year-old averaged 14.9 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 3.4 assists in 81 games. He was a finalist for Sixth Man of the Year, which should help him in contract discussions. Quickley is still under contract for one more […]

Knicks Give Praise To Julius Randle

Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden could be headed elsewhere next season. The 33-year-old is eligible for a four-year, $200-plus million deal this offseason. Recent reports are saying the Sixers aren't motivated to sign Harden to a mega deal. That's not shocking considering the disappointing way the 2022-2023 season ended for Philly. The organization could decide […]

Brent Rooker Absent On Wednesday

Oakland Athletics outfielder Brent Rooker is absent from Wednesday's starting lineup versus the Seattle Mariners. The right-handed slugger started off red-hot to begin the season, but has cooled down lately. He's hitting .200 (16-for-80) with just two homers and a 30/10 K/BB in May. That being said, it's not shocking to see the A's giving […]

Julio Urias To Throw Bullpen Session Later This Week

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Julio Urias (hamstring) is expected to throw a bullpen session later this week. Manager Dave Roberts said Urias will resume throwing on either Friday or Saturday of this week. The left-hander was placed on the injured list Saturday with a hamstring strain.

It sounds like McKenzie could make […]

Mickey Moniak Receives Rest Day

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mickey Moniak is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Boston Red Sox.

Austin Pruitt Named Opener Versus Mariners

Oakland Athletics pitcher Austin Pruitt will serve as the opener for Wednesday's matchup against the Seattle Mariners.

Alex Verdugo Sitting Out On Wednesday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Alex Verdugo is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. This appears to be a routine rest day for Verdugo, so it doesn't sound like he re-aggravated his groin issue. Manager Alex Cora is deciding to play matchups and has Raimel Tapia in right field […]

Ty France Absent On Wednesday

Seattle Mariners first baseman Ty France (wrist) is being held out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Oakland Athletics. France left early during Tuesday's game after being hit by a pitch in the wrist. Luckily, the X-rays came back negative, so it sounds like he's only dealing with a wrist contusion. The […]

Kris Bryant Gets Rest Day On Tuesday

Colorado Rockies third baseman Kris Bryant is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Miami Marlins. This appears to be a routine day off for the right-handed slugger. In his place, Randal Grichuk will cover right field and bat cleanup versus righty Eury Perez. Fantasy managers should expect Bryant to be back […]

Michael Harris II Sitting Out On Tuesday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Michael Harris II is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Casey Schmitt Absent On Tuesday

San Francisco Giants infielder Casey Schmitt is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Minnesota Twins. Fantasy managers don't need to panic as this appears to be a routine day off for Schmitt. He has played in every game since joining the team on May 9, so he could use some rest. […]
