Nelson Cruz Held Out On Wednesday

Washington Nationals outfielder Nelson Cruz (back) is being held out of the starting lineup against the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday. The veteran slugger had to exit early on Tuesday due to a back issue. The Nationals are going to be cautious and hold Cruz out of this contest. Fantasy managers should consider Cruz day-to-day, so […]

Josh Hader Likely To Be Available On Wednesday

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Josh Hader (back) is expected to be available for Wednesday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. Hader has been dealing with back spasms, so the Brewers went with Devin Williams in the ninth inning on Tuesday. However, Hader was able to get through his pregame routine on Wednesday without any issues. Fantasy […]

Teoscar Hernandez Should Return On Thursday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez (oblique) is expected to return from the injured list on Thursday. He has been sidelined since April 13, but appears ready to get back on the field. Hernandez will play another rehab game on Wednesday before hopefully rejoining the big league team on Thursday. Hernandez was hitting very well […]

Kris Bryant Is Feeling Better

Colorado Rockies third baseman Kris Bryant (back) is reportedly feeling better, but has not resumed hitting yet. The All-Star slugger has been limited to playing catch while recovering from his back issue. It's uncertain whether or not Bryant will need a minor league rehab assignment. He'll need a few days of live hitting before getting […]

Max Kepler Could Be Available Off Bench

Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler (illness) could be available off the bench for Wednesday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. He was removed from Tuesday's game due to an illness, so he'll sit out on Wednesday for the same reason. The fact he is likely able to pinch-hit means Kepler should be able to avoid a […]

Kyle Lowry Will Miss Game 2 Against 76ers

Miami Heat guard Kyle Lowry (hamstring) won't be available for Wednesday's Game 2 matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers. This marks another game that Lowry will sit out due to left hamstring soreness. That means, Gabe Vincent will remain in the starting five until further notice. He finished with 10 points, three rebounds, and three assists […]

Steven Adams To Remain Out On Tuesday

Memphis Grizzlies center Steven Adams won't be available for Tuesday's Game 2 against the Golden State Warriors. He'll miss his second game in a row due to the league's health and safety protocols. Xavier Tillman will remain in the starting five, but isn't a reliable fantasy option. Brandon Clarke nearly had a double-double off the […]

Ziaire Williams Is Available For Game 2

Memphis Grizzlies forward Ziaire Williams (knee) is available for Tuesday's Game 2 against the Golden State Warriors. He sat out Game 1 due to right knee soreness, but is feeling well enough to suit up on Tuesday. Although, Williams hasn't been a huge part of the rotation during the postseason. Also, Desmond Bane (back) is […]

Desmond Bane To Play In Game 2

Memphis Grizzlies guard Desmond Bane (back) will be available for Game 2 against the Golden State Warriors. He was listed as questionable for this contest after tweaking his back in the first game of this series. He should remain in the starting five and return to his normal role on Tuesday. 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, […]

Robert Williams III Starts In Game 1 Loss

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (knee) returned to the starting lineup for Sunday's Game 1 contest against the Milwaukee Bucks. This was the first time Williams has started in a game since tearing his meniscus. Although, he did come off the bench during the final two games of their last series. Williams finished with […]

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 […]
