DeMarcus Cousins Unlikely to Return This Season

Golden State Warriors center DeMarcus Cousins (quad) is not expected to return this postseason, according to head coach Steve Kerr. Cousins suffered a Grade 2 quad tear, so that's not something that can be rushed. Andrew Bogut, Kevon Looney, and Jordan Bell will split up the minutes at center.

Ed Davis Ruled Out for Game 5

Brooklyn Nets center Ed Davis (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's Game 5 versus the Philadelphia 76ers. This is the second game in a row that Davis has been forced to miss due to a right ankle injury. Rondae Hollis-Jefferson will see extra playing time with Davis sidelined.

Blake Snell Will Return on Wednesday

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Blake Snell (toe) will start in Wednesday's game against the Kansas City Royals. Snell landed on the injured list last week due to a fractured right toe. The team was unsure if Snell would be ready by Wednesday, but clearly he's good to go. The reigning AL Cy Young Award […]

Freddy Galvis Won't Play on Tuesday

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Freddy Galvis (hamstring) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the San Francisco Giants. He left Sunday's game due to left hamstring tightness, so he'll sit this one out to recover. Galvis is considered day-to-day right now, so he won't land on the injured list just yet. Richard […]

Rougned Odor Will Begin Rehab Assignment Wednesday

Texas Rangers second baseman Rougned Odor (knee) is scheduled to begin his rehab assignment on Wednesday. Odor has been out since April 11 due to a right knee sprain. He was struggling heavily before the injury, so hopefully he'll get back on track once he's healthy. There is a good chance that Odor is back […]

Harrison Bader Will Be Activated on Wednesday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Harrison Bader (hamstring) is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list on Wednesday. Bader landed on the injured list on April 17 due to a hamstring strain. He's expected to resume his duties in center field, so Dexter Fowler will slide over to right field. Jose Martinez will see […]

Zack Cozart is Out of the Lineup on Tuesday

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Zack Cozart (head) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the New York Yankees. Cozart was removed from the game on Monday during the 12th inning after hitting his head on DJ LeMahieu. There is a chance that Cozart lands on the injured list. David Fletcher will […]

Jefry Rodriguez Will Start on Wednesday

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Jefry Rodriguez has been recalled from Triple-A to make the start versus the Miami Marlins on Wednesday. Rodriguez pitched decent during his start on April 13, but probably isn't worth a look in most fantasy formats. The Marlins don't have much going for them on offense, but Rodriguez has a 5.46 […]

Mike Foltynewicz to Join Rotation on Saturday

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Mike Foltynewicz (elbow) is on track to join the starting rotation on Saturday. Foltynewicz dealt with elbow soreness throughout spring training, but appears better now. However, he was destroyed in his minor league starts. He had a 6.11 ERA over four rehab starts. Fantasy owners probably should wait until after his […]

Anthony Rendon is Out Again

Washington Nationals third baseman Anthony Rendon (elbow) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Colorado Rockies. Rendon was hit in the elbow by a pitch on Saturday and hasn't played in a game since then. Howie Kendrick will draw the start at third base and bat cleanup versus Jeff Hoffman. Kendrick […]

Carlos Martinez Will Pitch Out of the Bullpen

St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Carlos Martinez (shoulder) will reportedly pitch out of the bullpen when he returns to the team, according to manager Mike Shildt. It sounds like Martinez is still having a tough time building up strength in his right arm. The Cardinals believe the bullpen is a better fit for Martinez at the […]

David Bote Placed on Paternity List

Chicago Cubs infielder David Bote (personal) has been placed on the paternity-leave list on Tuesday. His wife gave birth to a baby boy, so Bote will not be in the lineup for Tuesday's contest versus the Los Angeles Dodgers. He is expected to be back in the lineup for Wednesday's contest. Daniel Descalso will bat […]

Ed Davis is Questionable for Game 5

Brooklyn Nets center Ed Davis (ankle) is listed as questionable for Game 5 versus the Philadelphia 76ers. Davis was fantastic in Game 1, but hasn't been able to do much since that contest. He wasn't able to play in Game 4, so that's not a good sign that he'll be able to suit up here. […]

Joel Embiid is Probable for Game 5

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) is listed as probable for Tuesday's Game 5 versus the Brooklyn Nets. The fact he's listed as probable is a good sign, but the Sixers should be able to beat the Nets regardless. Boban Marjanovic and Greg Monroe would split up the minutes at center if Embiid is unable […]

Blake Griffin Could Play in Game 4

Detroit Pistons forward Blake Griffin (knee) is a game-time decision for Monday's Game 4 versus the Milwaukee Bucks. The good news is, Griffin is listed as probable for this game, so that's a great sign. It sounds like he'll actually suit up for this game, but there won't be official confirmation until after pre-game warmups. […]

Mike Montgomery Will Make Rehab Appearance on Monday

Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Mike Montgomery (shoulder) is scheduled to make another rehab appearance on Monday at Double-A. Montgomery went two innings last outing, so this appearance should be a little longer. There is a chance that Monty rejoins the Cubs by the end of April. However, the won't mean much for fantasy owners with […]

Nathan Eovaldi Will Undergo Surgery

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi (elbow) will undergo surgery on Tuesday to remove loose bodies from his elbow. The Sox placed Eovaldi on the 10-day injured list on Saturday, but were not aware the injury was this serious. Eovaldi missed roughly two months of action in 2018 when he had a similar surgery. […]

Amed Rosario is Out on Monday

New York Mets shortstop Amed Rosario (illness) will not be in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Rosario has an eight game hitting streak, so he'd be out there if he was healthy enough. Luis Guillorme will play shortstop and bat seventh versus right Jake Arrieta. DFS players can go ahead […]

Robinson Cano is Out of the Lineup on Monday

New York Mets second baseman Robinson Cano (hand) is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Cano is reportedly still sore after being hit with a pitch in the hand on Sunday. The test came back clean, so Cano is just day-to-day at the moment. Jeff McNeil will bat second […]

Dwight Smith Jr. Sitting Out on Monday

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Dwight Smith Jr. (quad) is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Chicago White Sox. Smith left early during Sunday's game after experiencing tightness in his quad. The Orioles are considering him day-to-day right now, but that could change. Joey Rickard will bat first and be in center field […]

Austin Meadows Will Not Need Surgery

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Austin Meadows (thumb) will not need surgery on his sprained right thumb. GM Erik Neander believes that Meadows should be able to return in a few weeks. He was placed on the injured list on Sunday, so we'll wait and see what happens. Meadows was crushing the ball, hitting .351/.422/.676 with […]

Danny Duffy Will Rejoin Rotation on Friday

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Danny Duffy (shoulder) will rejoin the starting rotation versus the Los Angeles Angels on Friday. Duffy pitched well during his rehab outing, so the Royals feel he's ready to return. He was able to throw almost 80 pitches during his rehab start. He should be able to surpass that number […]

Blake Snell Will Be Activated on Wednesday

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Blake Snell (toe) will be activated from the injured list when he's first eligible on Wednesday. Snell was able to throw another bullpen session on Monday without any issues. He likely won't pitch until this weekend, but fantasy owners won't have to be without Snell for much longer.

Kyle Freeland Lands on Injured List

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Kyle Freeland (finger) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. Freeland is dealing with a blister on the middle finger of his left hand. Tyler Anderson (knee) has been activated from the injured list in a corresponding move. He'll make the start for Colorado against the Nationals on Monday. There […]

Tyler Anderson is Activated on Monday

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Tyler Anderson (knee) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Monday. Anderson missed a few weeks of action due to left knee inflammation. He heads into this start with an 11.00 ERA, so he doesn't make for a great fantasy option. He'll face off against the Nationals on Monday.

Jean Segura Headed to Injured List

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Jean Segura (hamstring) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. The move is retroactive to Wednesday since Segura's last game was on Tuesday. Scott Kingery (hamstring) has been placed on the injured list as well, so the Phillies are thin at shortstop. Phil Gosselin will bat seventh and play shortstop against […]

Scott Kingery Lands on Injured List

Philadelphia Phillies infielder Scott Kingery (hamstring) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. Kingery suffered a right hamstring strain during Friday's contest. Kingery had an MRI on Saturday, but the results have not been announced yet. He's likely going to miss a few weeks which is a big blow to fantasy owners since Kingery […]

Matt Shoemaker Exits Early on Saturday

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Matt Shoemaker (knee) exits early during Saturday's game against the Oakland Athletics. Shoemaker needed help getting off the field after injuring his left knee during a rundown. He was off to a fantastic start, so this is frustrating news for fantasy owners. It's unclear if Shoemaker will miss any time, […]

Starling Marte Placed on Injured List

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Starling Marte (abdominal) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. Marte crashed into shortstop Erik Gonzalez during Friday's game and suffered an abdominal contusion. Marte has struggled at the plate this season, so maybe some time off will help him. It's unclear how long Marte will be out, but this seems […]

Brock Holt Suffers Setback

Boston Red Sox infielder Brock Holt (eye) has suffered a setback during his rehab assignment. Holt is suffering from a scratched cornea, but apparently his new contact lens are not effective. The Sox could really use Holt right now with the team banged up, but it appears they will have to wait a little longer.
