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.

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.

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.

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 […]

Pittsburgh Pirates catcher Roberto Perez (hamstring) has been placed on the 10-day injured list.

San Francisco Giants first baseman Brandon Belt has been activated off the COVID-19 list on Saturday. He has missed over a week of action after testing positive for COVID-19 in late April.

Dauri Moreta Will Be The Opener On Saturday

Cincinnati Reds pitcher Dauri Moreta will be the opener for Saturday's second game of the doubleheader against the Pittsburgh Pirates. This looks like it's going to be a bullpen game for the Reds pitching staff. Moreta is posting a 5.11 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 13/6 K/BB ratio in 12 appearances this season. That being said, […]

Carson Kelly To Miss Saturday's Game

Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Carson Kelly (abdominal) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Colorado Rockies.

Andrew McCutchen Placed On COVID-19 List

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Andrew McCutchen has been placed on the COVID-19 list. It's uncertain if the veteran outfielder has tested positive, but fantasy managers should expect him to miss at least a game or two.

Stephen Piscotty Headed To Injured List

Oakland Athletics outfielder Stephen Piscotty (calf) will be going on the injured list, according to manager Mark Kotsay. He was forced to exit Friday's game due to calf tightness.

Byron Buxton Suffers Minor Injury

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton (hip) was forced to exit early during Saturday's game against the Oakland Athletics.

Boston Red Sox outfielder Enrique Hernandez is expected to be placed on the COVID-19 injured list on Friday. He tested negative on Thursday, but continues to experience symptoms. He'll remain away from the team until he feels better. In the meantime, Jarren Duran is expected to be called up to take his spot on the […]

Drew Smyly To Return On Saturday

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Drew Smyly will make his return to the mound on Saturday versus the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Fantasy managers […]

Yankees-Rangers Postponed On Friday

The game between the New York Yankees and Texas Rangers has been postponed on Friday. This contest won't be played due to pending inclement weather.

Fernando Tatis Jr. Unlikely To Return Soon

San Diego Padres shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. (wrist) is uncertain when he'll be cleared to resume swinging a bat. He has been taking some ground balls and running, but still isn't close to a return. Tatis is able to play catch, but someone else has to catch the ball for him. The Padres want to […]

Jesse Chavez To Start On Friday

Atlanta Braves pitcher Jesse Chavez will get the start against the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday. Chavez has thrown five scoreless innings since being acquired by the Braves from the Chicago Cubs earlier in the season. The Braves are likely only going to get two or three innings out of Chavez on Friday. This means, Kyle […]

Gary Payton II To Miss Three Weeks

Golden State Warriors guard Gary Payton II (elbow) is expected to miss at least three weeks of action. The Warriors have given Payton a three-to-five week timetable for his fractured elbow. Possibly, Payton is back in time for the Finals, assuming the Warriors make it that far. Although, there's a good chance that Payton's season […]

Tyrese Maxey Scores 34 Points In Losing Effort

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey has been incredible for this team all season long. He stepped up nicely during Game 2 versus the Miami Heat on Wednesday.

The veteran guard hit 11-of-16 shots for 28 points, six rebounds, and eight assists in the Game 2 victory over the Dallas Mavericks.

Luka Doncic Scores 35 Points In Game 2 Loss

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic did everything he could, but it wasn't enough during Wednesday's Game 2 loss to the Phoenix Suns. The All-Star guard hit 13-of-22 shots for 35 points, seven assists, and five rebounds in the loss. Although, Doncic also had seven turnovers, so that didn't help at all. At this point, the […]
