Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger (ankle) continues working on building up his strength and doing light activity.

He should be an impactful […]

Dylan Cease Struggles With Command

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Dylan Cease struggled to find the strike zone during Saturday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays.

He only […]

Matt Manning To Visit A Specialist On Monday

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Matt Manning (bicep) is scheduled to visit a specialist on Monday, according to manager A.J. Hinch. The 24-year-old was pulled during his last rehab start due to bicep tendinitis. The fact that the right-hander will need to see a specialist is not good news for fantasy managers. He could be looking […]

Kyle Garlick Removed From Friday's Game

Minnesota Twins outfielder Kyle Garlick (hamstring) was unable to get through Friday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. However, Garlick managed to go 3-for-3 with a pair of home runs and three RBI before exiting the game.

Chicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras (ankle) was forced to exit early during Thursday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals.

Nolan Gorman To Return On Friday

St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Nolan Gorman (back) will return to the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Chicago Cubs. He has missed each of the last three games due to back stiffness. However, the young infielder is ready to give it a go during Friday's contest. He'll serve as the designated hitter and […]

Matthew Liberatore Optioned To Minors

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Matthew Liberatore has been optioned to Triple-A Memphis on Friday. The team's No. 3 prospect will head back to the minors after a few rough outings.

Max Kepler, Emilio Pagan Land On Restricted List

Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler and relief pitcher Emilio Pagan have been placed on the restricted list. The Twins have a series in Toronto, so they will presumably be without these players because they're unvaccinated. Kepler just returned to action last week due to a quad issue, so fantasy managers will be without him again […]

Phillies Fire Joe Girardi

Philadelphia Phillies manager Joe Girardi has been let go by the organization on Friday. The team has decided to move on from Girardi after two-and-a-half seasons. The Phillies have gone 132-141 under Girardi. Obviously not great, but a 22-29 start to the 2022 season was the end of it. Bench coach Rob Thompson will take […]

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry did everything he could during Thursday's Game 1 against the Boston Celtics. The All-Star guard came out on fire and scored 21 of his team's first 32 points.
