Bane has been playing […]

Dameon Pierce Must Earn His Role

Houston Texans running back Dameon Pierce won't be given an advantage heading into training camp. General manager Nick Caserio mentioned that Pierce will need to earn himself a role in the team's backfield. The Texans used the 107th pick to select Pierce out of Florida on draft day. He posted 790 yards and 16 touchdowns […]

DK Metcalf Believes Extension Will Happen

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf believes that he'll be able to come to terms on an extension with the organization. The former second round pick has been a stud for the Seahawks, so he deserves an extension. It's uncertain what Metcalf will get, but it wouldn't be shocking to see him getting paid $25 […]

Bryce Callahan Joins Chargers

Free-agent defensive back Bryce Callahan has signed a one-year deal with the Los Angeles Chargers. The 30-year-old corner has put together a fairly solid career over his first six seasons in the league. The biggest problem for Callahan has been staying healthy and on the field. Luckily, the Chargers have plenty of options at defensive […]

Jalen Suggs Has Successful Surgery

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (ankle) is expected to make a full recovery after undergoing surgery on Monday. He needed surgery to repair a stress fracture in his right ankle. Sadly, the rookie guard was only able to play in 45 games due to multiple injuries. The organization believes Suggs will be fully healthy by […]

Fred Vanvleet Likely To See Minutes Cut

Toronto Raptors guard Fred VanVleet is likely to have his minutes trimmed next season, according to head coach Nick Nurse. He played 37.9 minutes per game, which tied Pascal Siakam for the most on the team. Vanvleet also missed 17 games due to injury, so the hope is that less playing time will help him […]

Derrick White To Start In Game 2

Boston Celtics guard Derrick White will move into the starting lineup for Tuesday's Game 2 against the Milwaukee Bucks. Marcus Smart (thigh) will sit this one out as the Celtics attempt to tie up this series. This is a tough blow to lose their defensive anchor, but White has played well as a starter. He's […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Posts Triple-Double In Win

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo put together a triple-double during Game 1 against the Boston Celtics on Sunday. Antetokounmpo didn't shoot well in this game, but played well enough to help his team earn the victory. He finished with 24 points, 12 rebounds, and 13 assists in 38 minutes on Sunday. Antetokounmpo made 9-of-25 shots, […]

Draymond Green Ejected During Game 1

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green was ejected during Sunday's Game 1 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies. He picked up a flagrant 2 foul while attempting to deny Brandon Clarke at the rim. To be honest, it was questionable whether or not Green deserved to be ejected for that play. He finished with six points, […]

Ja Morant Shines In Loss

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant did everything he could during Sunday's Game 1 loss to the Golden State Warriors. The young guard was one rebound shy of a triple-double during their one-point loss. Morant finished with 34 points, 10 assists, and nine rebounds during Sunday's contest. He struggled from beyond the arc during their first […]

Jordan Poole Notches 31 Points In Game 1

Golden State Warriors guard Jordan Poole returned to the second unit for Sunday's Game 1 against the Memphis Grizzlies. Gary Payton II got the nod, but Poole managed to lead the team in scoring off the bench. He finished with 31 points, eight rebounds, and nine assists during Sunday's one-point victory. Poole has taken his […]

Devin Booker Expected To Play In Game 1

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (hamstring) looks good ahead of Monday's Game 1 against the Dallas Mavericks. The All-Star guard missed three games during their last series due to a hamstring strain. However, Booker returned for Game 6 against the New Orleans Pelicans. He helped his team get the win and played 32 minutes in […]

Tommy Edman Should Return Soon

St. Louis Cardinals infielder Tommy Edman (groin) is hopeful to play within the next day or two. He was forced to exit early during Sunday's game due a groin issue. He mentioned that he has been feeling tightness in his hip over the last few days. Hopefully, Edman can take a few days off and […]

Garrett Hampson Likely To Be Activated On Monday

Colorado Rockies infielder Garrett Hampson (hand) is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list on Monday. The young infielder has been sidelined since April 17 due to a right hand contusion. Hampson has been playing in the minor leagues without any issues, so it appears that he is ready to return to the […]

Ronald Acuna Jr. Goes Hitless On Sunday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. has struggled to find his groove since returning from the injured list. He has struck out six times in 14 plate appearances, but his slow start was expected. On Sunday, Acuna went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in the loss to the Texas Rangers. Fantasy managers shouldn't be worried about […]

Justus Sheffield Heading Back To Minors

Seattle Mariners pitcher Justus Sheffield has been optioned to Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday. They need to shorten their roster, so it seems that Sheffield is the odd man out. He was excellent out of the bullpen for the Mariners. He threw 4 2/3 scoreless innings during his time at the big leagues this season. Although, […]

Clarke Schmidt Optioned To Minors

New York Yankees pitcher Clarke Schmidt has been optioned to the minor leagues on Sunday. This is somewhat surprising considering Schmidt has been solid in his short time being up at the big league level. He has posted a 1.08 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 8/4 K/BB ratio over 8 1/3 innings in the MLB. The […]

Giants Acquire Mike Ford

Seattle Mariners first baseman Mike Ford was designated for assignment earlier this week. Now, the 29-year-old will have a new home as he was acquired by the San Francisco Giants. In exchange, the Mariners will receive cash considerations for Ford. The Giants are dealing with a small COVID-19 issue, so they need more bodies on […]

Hyun Jin Ryu Throws On Saturday

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Hyun Jin Ryu (forearm) threw a three-inning live batting practice session on Saturday. The hope is that Ryu can go on a rehab assignment and return to the big league roster in early May. The 35-year-old has been sidelined since April 17 due to left forearm inflammation. The fact he […]

Nolan Arenado To Serve Suspension On Saturday

St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado won't be in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Instead, Arenado will miss this game and serve his one-game suspension. The 31-year-old has been hot at the plate recently, so hopefully the off day won't slow him down. Brendan Donovan will cover third base […]

Sean Murphy To Rest On Saturday

Oakland Athletics catcher Sean Murphy (rest) isn't in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Cleveland Guardians. This appears to be a routine day off for Murphy who started 20 straight games. The 27-year-old is hitting .218/.262/.487 with four home runs and 14 RBI this season. He only has two hits over his last […]

Bailey Ober Placed On Injured List

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Bailey Ober (groin) has been placed on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to April 29.

He has posted a 2.75 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 16/5 […]

Andrew Vaughn X-Rays Came Back Negative

Chicago White Sox first baseman/outfielder Andrew Vaughn (hand) isn't in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Angels.

Daulton Varsho Gets A Rest Day

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder/catcher Daulton Varsho isn't in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. This appears to be a routine day off for the 25-year-old who has played a ton recently. In fact, Varsho has started in 19 of the first 22 games of the season. Although, his bat has been […]

Ji-Man Choi Remains Absent On Saturday

Tampa Bay Rays first baseman Ji-Man Choi (elbow) remains out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Minnesota Twins. He'll miss his third game in a row due to a slightly hyperextended left elbow. The organization is hopeful that Choi can avoid a trip to the injured list. In the meantime, Yandy Diaz […]

Yoan Moncada Beginning Rehab Assignment

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada (oblique) will begin a minor league rehab assignment on Saturday. This is good news since Moncada has been sidelined since early April due to a strained right oblique. The 26-year-old should be able to return to the big league roster in early May. He'll likely need a few […]

Michael Brantley Remains Out On Saturday

Houston Astros outfielder Michael Brantley won't be in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. He was forced to miss Friday's game as well due to the league's health and safety protocols. The organization hasn't given much of an update on Brantley, so fantasy managers are in the dark. Nonetheless, Brantley […]

Travis Shaw DFA'd, Franchy Cordero Joining Red Sox

Boston Red Sox designated infielder Travis Shaw for assignment on Friday and are calling up Franchy Cordero to take his place on the roster, according to multiple sources. The team is also expected to activate pitchers Tanner Houck and Kutter Crawford from the restricted list. Shaw made the roster on a minor league deal, but […]

Nolan Gorman Promotion Seems Unlikely

St. Louis Cardinals infielder Nolan Gorman is unlikely to be called up to the big league roster anytime soon. The young slugger already has 10 home runs in Triple-A this season. He is clearly ready for the MLB, but the Cardinals don't have an everyday spot for him yet. Paul DeJong is struggling with the […]
