Brandon Lowe Absent On Wednesday

Tampa Bay Rays second baseman Brandon Lowe (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. This appears to be a routine day off for the left-hander slugger. It's not the worst time for a rest day with right-hander Shohei Ohtani on the mound for the Halos. Vidal Brujan […]

Bailey Ober Throws Bullpen Session On Wednesday

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Bailey Ober (groin) was able to throw a 20-pitch bullpen session on Wednesday. It seems like all positives for Ober who is recovering from a right groin strain.

Manuel Margot Remains Out On Wednesday

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Manuel Margot (hamstring) will remain out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Angels.

He's hitting 268/.299/.402 with four […]

Dennis Kelly Joins Colts

Free-agent offensive tackle Dennis Kelly has agreed to a deal with the Indianapolis Colts. The 32-year-old is expected to compete with Bernhard Raimann for the starting left tackle spot in training camp. The nine-year tackle has been a bit of a swing man throughout his career. He started 16 games with the Tennessee Titans in […]

Nick Kwiatkoski Visits With Raiders

Free-agent linebacker Nick Kwiatkoski visited with the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday. The same organization that cut the 28-year-old in March.

He has reportedly visited with the Atlanta Falcons and has another […]

Seahawks Are Optimistic On Chris Carson

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson (neck) is still rehabbing and the organization doesn't have many updates yet.

Phoenix Suns forward Torrey Craig (elbow) mentioned that he will suit up for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Dallas Mavericks. He was listed as probable for this contest after missing each of the last two games. Craig only played six minutes during the first two games, but that could've been because of his elbow soreness. […]

Ja Morant Will Miss Game 5

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Golden State Warriors. This doesn't come as a surprise since Morant missed their last contest and was doubtful for Wednesday. Tyus Jones should remain in the starting five and be an interesting DFS option. Morant could very well miss […]

P.J. Tucker Cleared For Game 5

Miami Heat forward P.J. Tucker (calf) has been cleared to play during Tuesday's Game 5 against the Philadelphia 76ers. The veteran forward was questionable coming into this game, but will tough it out. He finished with seven points and two rebounds in 25 minutes during Game 4. Tucker doesn't offer much upside on offense, but […]

Duncan Robinson Could Play In Game 5

Miami Heat guard Duncan Robinson could see some action during Tuesday's Game 5 contest, according to head coach Erik Spoelstra. Robinson has only played one minute through the first four games. However, Spoelstra mentioned that Robinson has stayed ready and that we'll see what happens during Game 5. The Heat might need Robinson to help […]

Kyle Lowry Unavailable For Game 5

Miami Heat guard Kyle Lowry (hamstring) has been ruled out for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Philadelphia 76ers. This shouldn't come as a shock considering Lowry re-aggravated his hamstring in Game 4. The Heat will play it safe and have Lowry sidelined for this contest. That might actually benefit the Heat since Lowry has been […]

Stephen Curry Finishes With 32 Points

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry helped his team come back and eventually pull out the victory on Monday. Curry wasn't on his A-game, but still did enough to help his team get the win.

Tyus Jones Scores 19 Points In Spot Start

Memphis Grizzlies guard Tyus Jones received the start in Monday's Game 4 contest with Ja Morant (knee) sidelined. Jones did what he could, but it's tough for the Grizzlies to do a lot without their superstar guard. He went 8-for-18 from the floor with 19 points, six rebounds, and five assists in the loss to […]

Kyle Anderson Plays Well Off The Bench

Memphis Grizzlies forward Kyle Anderson looked sharp during Monday's Game 4 matchup against the Golden State Warriors. He came off the bench and ended up scoring the third-most points on the team.

Golden State Warriors forward Otto Porter Jr. (hand) is listed as probable for Monday's Game 4 against the Memphis Grizzlies.

This was a solid […]

Nikola Jokic Named MVP

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic has reportedly been named Most Valuable Player for the 2021-2022 season. Joel Embiid and Giannis Antetokounmpo were also MVP candidates, but the award will stay with Jokic for the second straight season.

Kris Bryant To Receive Cortisone Injection

Colorado Rockies third baseman Kris Bryant (back) is expected to receive a cortisone injection on Monday. The hope is that this injection into his back will help the healing process.

Kirby Yates Throws Bullpen Session

Atlanta Braves relief pitcher Kirby Yates (elbow) threw a 25-pitch bullpen session on Friday. The 34-year-old continues working his way back from Tommy John surgery. Yates has been throwing off a mound for three weeks. All of his pitches were fastballs, but the plan is for Yates to mix in breaking pitches soon. The hope […]

Carlos Correa Unlikely To Play On Tuesday

Minnesota Twins shortstop Carlos Correa (finger) is unlikely to return to the starting lineup on Tuesday. He missed his third straight game on Sunday due to a finger injury. The Twins are scheduled to be off on Monday before starting a series with the Houston Astros on Tuesday. The organization will attempt to keep Correa […]

Stephen Strasburg To Throw This Week

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Stephen Strasburg (neck, shoulder) is expected to throw a two-inning simulated game this week. The right-hander continues to make progress, but it doesn't sound like he'll be back in the rotation anytime soon. Nationals manager Dave Martinez mentioned that Strasburg will go on a rehab assignment after he has built up […]

Chris Paddack Removed Early On Sunday

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Chris Paddack (undisclosed) was unable to get through Sunday's start against the Oakland Athletics. He went two 2/3 innings before being removed due to an apparent injury. Right-hander Cody Shashak came in and fired two 2/3 scoreless innings after Paddack's departure. Fantasy managers will have to check back for another update […]

Jake Odorizzi Tosses One-Hit Gem

Houston Astros starting pitcher Jake Odorizzi looked fantastic against the Detroit Tigers on Sunday. He went five innings, allowing one hit, two walks, and struck out five in the victory. Odorizzi was pulled after 76 pitches because the Astros wanted to get some other pitchers into the game. Over his last three games, Odorizzi has […]

Al Horford Looks Sharp In Game 3

Boston Celtics forward Al Horford looked like he was back in his prime during Saturday's Game 3 matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks. One of the biggest reasons why Horford played well is that Milwaukee swapped Bobby Portis for Grayson Allen in the starting five. Horford took full advantage of that and nearly helped his team […]
