Usman Garuba To Miss Summer League

Houston Rockets forward Usman Garuba (ankle) will miss the rest of the summer league. The young forward suffered a sprained right ankle, which will force him to the sideline. The 21-year-old played 10 minutes per game across 24 contests last season. It's unlikely that his minutes are going to rise heading into next season. The […]

James Wiseman To Make Summer League Debut

Golden State Warriors center James Wiseman (knee) will make his summer league debut on Saturday. The former No. 2 pick has not played since his rookie season in 2020. Wiseman has worked hard to get back on the court following knee surgery. The expectation is that the Warriors are going to be extremely cautious with […]

Jaden Ivey Forced To Exit Early

Detroit Pistons guard Jaden Ivey (ankle) was forced to exit early during Saturday's summer league matchup. Ivey had 11 points and two assists during the first five minutes of this game. Sadly, Ivey rolled his ankle which knocked him out of this contest. The No. 5 overall pick has looked sharp, so hopefully this doesn't […]

Paolo Banchero Walking With A Limp

Orlando Magic forward Paolo Banchero (ankle) was seen walking with a noticeable limp after Saturday's contest against the Sacramento Kings. The top overall pick asked to see a trainer following his postgame interview. Luckily, the Magic don't play again until Monday, but it wouldn't be surprising to see the Magic be extremely cautious with Banchero. […]

Tarik Skubal Pitches Well On Friday

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Tarik Skubal had few issues against the Chicago White Sox on Friday. The young lefty went six innings, six hits allowed, and seven strikeouts during the victory.

Reid Detmers Looks Impressive On Friday

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Reid Detmers was recalled to take the mound against the Baltimore Orioles on Friday.

He has done enough […]

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers (back) was removed early during Friday's game against the New York Yankees. The young slugger exited the game after hitting the railing while going after a foul ball. Manager Alex Cora mentioned that Devers won't suit up for Saturday's contest. It sounds like Devers is day-to-day, but the […]

Jacob deGrom Looks Sharp In Rehab Start

New York Mets starting pitcher Jacob deGrom (shoulder) pitched well during his second rehab start on Friday. The All-Star pitcher went three innings, three hits allowed, and struck out six batters. The 34-year-old hit 100-plus on the radar gun and has looked sharp thus far. Although, deGrom only threw 36 pitches, so he still has […]

Chris Sale To Make Season Debut On Tuesday

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Chris Sale (ribs) is set to make his season debut on Tuesday, according to manager Alex Cora. The left-hander struggled during his last rehab outing, but apparently feels good enough to return. The Red Sox are likely to have Sale on a pitch count during his first outing. The Tampa […]

Bobby Witt Jr. Returning On Friday

Kansas City Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. (hand) is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Cleveland Guardians. The young infielder missed each of the last two games due to a hand contusion. However, Witt feels better and will play shortstop and bat third versus right-hander Aaron Civale on Friday. The 23-year-old […]

Joey Votto Remains Absent On Friday

Cincinnati Reds first baseman Joey Votto (back) remains out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. The lefty slugger sat out both games of the doubleheader on Thursday. This marks the fifth game in a row that Votto has missed due to lingering back tightness. Possibly, the Reds decide to […]

Adley Rutschman To Rest On Friday

Baltimore Orioles catcher Adley Rutschman (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. The 24-year-old will get a much-needed day off after starting five straight games. Rutschman is hitting .214/.286/.400 with four homers through 108 plate appearances this season. Robinson Chirinos will cover behind the plate and bat […]

He'll take the spot of Michael Wacha (shoulder) who has been placed on the 15-day injured list. The 26-year-old has been struggling during his short stints with the Red Sox this season. 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. This doesn't sound like a serious injury, so fantasy managers shouldn't have anything to worry about. The 27-year-old is hitting .286/.360/.453 with […]

Aaron Judge Returning On Friday

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (lower body) is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Boston Red Sox.

The 30-year-old slugger is […]

James Harden To Take Significant Paycut

Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden is taking a $15 million paycut for the 2022-2023 season. The superstar guard opted out of his $47 million player option in order to take less money. He wants the Sixers organization to have more cap space in order to bring in more talent to the roster. It appears the […]

Warriors Won't Rush To Extend Andrew Wiggins, Jordan Poole

Golden State Warriors guards Andrew Wiggins and Jordan Poole are unlikely to see extensions anytime soon. The organization is reportedly in no rush to sign either player and haven't discussed extensions with them this summer. Luckily for the Warriors, both players are signed through next season. 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. Wilson had a couple of solid performances, so he is well worth the veteran minimum. The 26-year-old spent a majority of his career coming off the bench with […]

Frank Kaminsky Signs With Hawks

Free-agent center Frank Kaminsky has signed a one-year deal with the Atlanta Hawks. The 29-year-old only played nine games with the Phoenix Suns last season.

Sam Long Named Starter For Friday

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Sam Long will draw the start for Friday's game against the San Diego Padres. The left-hander will get the starting assignment for what looks to be a bullpen game for the Giants. Long is posting a stellar 1.78 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 19/8 K/BB ratio across 30 1/3 innings this […]

Brandon Lowe Removed During Rehab Game

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Brandon Lowe (head, back) was removed during Thursday's rehab game with Triple-A Durham.

Adam Duvall Placed On Paternity List

Atlanta Braves outfielder Adam Duvall has been placed on the paternity leave list as of Friday. The 33-year-old is expected to miss the weekend series, but should return early next week. This is actually good timing since Duvall has been dealing with a hand issue. This time off gives him an opportunity to heal and […]

Jorge Lopez Records 15th Save

Baltimore Orioles relief pitcher Jorge Lopez has struggled recently, but stepped up and delivered on Thursday.

Lopez has thrown nearly 60 pitches […]

Kevin Gausman Avoids Serious Injury

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Kevin Gausman (ankle) was unable to make his scheduled start against the Seattle Mariners on Thursday. The right-hander underwent an MRI on his right ankle.

The left-hander has been sidelined since late May due to an oblique strain. Before going down, Smyly was posting a 3.80 ERA with 34 strikeouts over nine starts. Normally, Smyly would be a fairly decent […]

Jurickson Profar Removed During Thursday's Game

San Diego Padres infielder/outfielder Jurickson Profar was removed from the game on Thursday after a scary collision. Profar was accidentally hit directly in the jaw by teammate C.J. Abrams. He attempted to walk off the field under his own power. Sadly, Profar was unable to do that and needed a cart to get off the […]

Clay Holmes Tosses Perfect Ninth Inning

New York Yankees relief pitcher Clay Holmes has been nearly unhittable all season long. That continued during his outing versus the Boston Red Sox on Thursday. Holmes pitched a perfect ninth inning and held the one-run lead during Thursday's victory. He has recorded five saves in his last six appearances. Holmes has an unbelievable 0.47 […]
