New York Mets outfielder Starling Marte (groin) was held out of Sunday's game due to a groin issue. He underwent an MRI that revealed nothing more than tightness.

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds (side) was forced to exit early during Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers.

Kevin Kiermaier Removed Early On Saturday

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier (hip) was removed early during Saturday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. This is a shame because Kiermaier just got off the injured list.

Orlando Magic forward Paolo Banchero (ankle) was seen walking with a noticeable limp after Saturday's contest against the Sacramento Kings.

It's highly […]

Jarren Duran To Sit Out On Friday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the New York Yankees. This doesn't come as much of a surprise considering Duran went 0-for-4 with four strikeouts on Thursday. Rob Refsnyder will bat leadoff and play center field versus lefty Nestor Cortes. Fantasy managers should be […]

Carlos Correa To Play On Friday

Minnesota Twins shortstop Carlos Correa (leg) is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Texas Rangers. Correa appears ready to play after sitting out each of the last two days.

After that, the Warriors could be in some serious […]

D.J. Wilson Signs Two-Year Deal

Free-agent forward D.J. Wilson has reportedly agreed to a two-year deal with the Toronto Raptors. He played a handful of 10-day contracts with the Raptors last season.
