Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Michael Pineda (thigh) is expected to return from the injured list on Wednesday.

Victor Reyes Likely To Be Recalled Before Monday's Game

Detroit Tigers outfielder Victor Reyes is expected to be recalled from Triple-A prior to Monday's game against the Cleveland Indians.

Since then, he […]

Goran Dragic Shoots Extremely Well Saturday

Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic was seemingly knocking down everything during Saturday's Game 1 versus the Milwaukee Bucks.

Sadly, they weren't able […]

Duncan Robinson Knocks Down Seven Threes

Miami Heat forward Duncan Robinson was one of the few bright spots for this team during Saturday's Game 1 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. Robinson finished with 24 points, two rebounds, two assists and seven 3-pointers. Both Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo were horrendous from the floor, so they needed someone to step up. Robinson […]

Jimmy Butler Has Brutal Game 1 Outing

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler was horrendous from the floor throughout Saturday's Game 1 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. He made 4-of-22 field goal attempts, which is not a joke.

Jrue Holiday Records Double-Double In Playoff Victory

Milwaukee Bucks guard Jrue Holiday was acquired in the hopes that he could take this team to the next level. He certainly looked like he could do that during Saturday's Game 1 against the Miami Heat. Holiday finished with 20 points, 11 rebounds, three assists and three steals in the victory over Miami. It's worth […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Struggles With His Shot In Game 1

He appeared to injure his elbow late in the game […]

Brock Holt Activated, Starts At Third Base On Friday

Texas Rangers infielder Brock Holt (hamstring) was activated off the 10-day injured list on Friday. The 32-year-old infielder/outfielder had been sidelined since early May due to a hamstring issue.

Jesus Luzardo Will Throw On Sunday

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Jesus Luzardo (hand) is scheduled to throw his next bullpen session on Sunday. He reportedly felt good after his 30-pitch bullpen session on Thursday.

Aledmys Diaz Exits Due To Injury

Houston Astros infielder Aledmys Diaz (hamstring) was unable to get through Friday's game against the Texas Rangers. He left during the fifth inning due to hamstring tightness.

Bryse Wilson Recalled, Starting Saturday

Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Kolten Wong (arm) was forced to exit early during Friday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. He was hit by a pitch, but the X-rays came back negative, according to Brewers manager Craig Counsell. The team is currently considering Wong day-to-day right now. It sounds like he avoided any serious injury, but […]

Yankees Discussing Delino DeShields Trade

Texas Rangers outfielder Delino DeShields could possibly be on the move here soon. It appears that the New York Yankees are showing interest in the 29-year-old speedy outfielder. This trade would make sense on paper as the Yankees are shorthanded in the outfield due to injuries. Texas has not been using DeShields, despite him absolutely […]

Randy Dobnak Will Start Friday

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Randy Dobnak has been recalled from the minors to make the start against the Cleveland Indians on Friday.

He was dealing with groin tightness last time he pitched, but he appears to be fine now.

William Contreras Blasts Three-Run Homer

Atlanta Braves catcher William Contreras smacked his fourth home run of the season during Thursday's loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates.

However, the […]

Austin Riley Gets Two Knocks On Wednesday

Atlanta Braves third baseman Austin Riley continued his hot start to the 2021 season on Wednesday. He collected two hits and scored two runs in the close victory over the New York Mets.

Hyeon-Jong Yang Pitches Well Versus Yankees

Texas Rangers pitcher Hyeon-Jon Yang did his job during Wednesday's loss to the New York Yankees. He delivered 5 1/3 innings, allowing three hits, two runs, four walks, and two strikeouts. It was actually an extremely solid outing for Yang until the sixth inning when things began to get out of hand. The veteran swingman […]

Ronald Acuna Jr. Delivers First Career Walkoff Homer

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. delivered his first career walkoff home run in the ninth inning of Wednesday's win over the New York Mets.

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Charlie Morton finally showed some promising signs during Wednesday's win over the New York Mets.

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Jesus Luzardo (wrist) is expected to throw a bullpen session on Thursday. He has been out since early May due to a fractured hand, but this is a good sign.

Kyle McGowin Recalled By Nationals

Washington Nationals pitcher Kyle McGowin has been recalled from Triple-A Rochester on Wednesday. McGowin has a 4.91 ERA over roughly seven innings in the majors this season. He'll slide into the Nats bullpen with Erick Fedde and Tanner Rainey landing on the COVID list. McGowin does not have a strong track record in the majors […]

Pete Alonso Sidelined Due To Wrist Soreness

New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso (wrist) was not able to play during Wednesday's game. After the game, Mets manager Luis Rojas said that Alonso missed the game due to wrist soreness.

Both Jayson Tatum and Walker went off in this must-win contest on Tuesday. Walker finished with 29 points, seven rebounds, two assists, and two steals in Tuesday's win. It's also worth noting that Walker knocked […]

Jayson Tatum Has Monster Game Versus Washington

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum went off during Tuesday's play-in game against the Washington Wizards. He finished with 50 points, eight rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal in Tuesday's victory.

Ish Smith Plays Well In Loss To Boston

Washington Wizards guard Ish Smith got off to a hot start during Tuesday's play-in matchup against the Boston Celtics. He scored 11 points in the first nine minutes, but cooled off after that.
