Jamal Murray is Fine for Game 7

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (thigh) is fine for Saturday's Game 7 versus the San Antonio Spurs. Murray was able to play through the thigh issue in Game 6, so no doubt he'll play in Game 7. He's likely going to be looking at big minutes, so DFS players should keep that in mind. Murray […]

Mike Scott Ruled Out for Game 1

Philadelphia 76ers forward Mike Scott (heel) has been ruled out for Game 1 versus the Toronto Raptors on Saturday. Scott is also dealing with plantar fasciitis, so the Sixers are just going to let him rest up. James Ennis should see more minutes coming his way, but not enough to be a useful DFS option.

Enes Kanter Should Be Ready for Game 1

Portland Trail Blazers center Enes Kanter (shoulder) is expected to be ready for Game 1 on Monday. Kanter was able to play through his separated shoulder during Game 5 on Tuesday. He wore a sling after the game but was reportedly able to shoot on Friday. It appears Kanter is going to be fine for […]

Eric Thames is Starting on Friday

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Eric Thames will draw the start at first base on Friday. He'll bat seventh against New York Mets righty Jacob deGrom, so that's no easy task for any hitter. Jesus Aguilar will get the night off to rest, but he wasn't likely going to do much against deGrom. Most of the […]

Freddy Galvis Remains Out on Friday

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Freddy Galvis (hamstring) remains out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Oakland Athletics. Galvis suffered a left hamstring injury on Sunday and hasn't been able to play since then. Eric Sogard is starting at shortstop and batting leadoff against Mike Fiers on Friday. Sogard is an interesting DFS […]

Harrison Bader is Sitting on Friday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Harrison Bader (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. Bader recently came off the injured list, but fantasy owners don't have to worry. Bader is healthy, but the Cardinals are just deciding to stick with their hot hitters. Marcell Ozuna, Dexter Fowler, and Jose […]

Kyle Freeland Expected to Return on Monday

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Kyle Freeland (finger) is expected to return for Monday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. Freeland was able to throw a bullpen session on Wednesday and Friday. He landed on the injured list April 22 due to a blister on his left middle finger. Freeland has struggled this season, so he's not […]

Jay Bruce Rejoins Lineup on Friday

Seattle Mariners outfielder Jay Bruce (quadriceps) has rejoined the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Texas Rangers. Bruce sat out the last four games due to a left quadriceps issue. Bruce will bat fifth and play right field versus righty Shelby Miller. Bruce is going to be a solid DFS option for Friday against […]

Cody Allen Lands on Injured List

Los Angeles Angels relief pitcher Cody Allen (back) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. Allen was removed from the closer role earlier in the week. He will now get some rest and hopefully get back on track in a few days. The Angels may decide to go with a closer-by-committee, which is going […]

Tyler Skaggs Activated, Starting on Friday

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Tyler Skaggs (ankle) has been activated from the 10-day injured list and is starting in Friday's game against the Kansas City Royals. Skaggs missed two weeks of action due to a sprained ankle. He has been roughed up through three starts, but should pitch fairly well against the mediocre offense […]

Jed Lowrie Should Start Rehab Assignment Soon

New York Mets infielder Jed Lowrie (knee) is close to beginning a minor league rehab assignment. Lowrie has reportedly been working out and is close to being able to play in minor league games. He's missed the first four weeks of the season due to a capsule sprain in his left knee. Lowrie is expected […]

Tyler O'Neill Activated on Friday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill (elbow) has been activated from the 10-day injured list. O'Neill was forced to miss 10 days with a right elbow ulnar nerve subluxation. He is not in the starting lineup for Friday, but is on the active roster for the weekend series. Jose Martinez will play right field and […]

Michael Wacha Expected to Return on Monday

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Michael Wacha (knee) is expected to rejoin the starting rotation for Monday's game against the Washington Nationals. Wacha went down on April 22 due to patellar tendinitis in his left knee. He threw a bullpen session on Friday, so it appears he's making progress towards a quick return. Wacha has […]

Matt Olson is Making Progress

Oakland Athletics first baseman Matt Olson (hand) took batting practice on Friday, so that's a step in the right direction for him. He suffered a fractured hamate bone during the season-opening series on March 21. Olson is expected to come off the injured list in a week or so. Kendrys Morales will play first base […]

Mike Scott is Unlikely for Game 1

Philadelphia 76ers forward Mike Scott (heel) was unable to practice on Wednesday and it sounds like he won't be ready for Game 1 versus the Toronto Raptors on Saturday. Scott reportedly hurt his heel during Game 5 against the Nets. He's also dealing with plantar fasciitis, which is a lingering injury. Stay tuned for more […]

Malcolm Brogdon Will Miss Games 1 And 2

Milwaukee Bucks guard Malcolm Brogdon (foot) will miss Games 1 and 2 of the postseason series against the Boston Celtics. Brogdon is recovering from a right foot injury that was expected to sideline him six to eight weeks. There is a chance that Brogdon is cleared to play in Game 3, but there hasn't been […]

Markieff Morris Likely Leaving Thunder

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Markieff Morris said that he is likely leaving OKC if his role doesn't expand next season. He signed with the Thunder midseason but averaged just 6.5 points in just 16.1 minutes per game. Morris is a player that could possibly start on some teams, so he could very well leave OKC […]

Luis Rengifo is Starting on Thursday

Los Angeles Angels infielder Luis Rengifo will draw the start at second base versus righty Masahiro Tanaka on Thursday. Rengifo was recalled to take over for Zack Cozart (neck) on the active roster. Rengifo hit .240 with two homers, nine RBI and two steals this season in the minors. He'll make his MLB debut on […]

Tyler Naquin Sitting Out on Thursday

Cleveland Indians outfielder Tyler Naquin (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Houston Astros. He was struggling to start the season, so maybe that's why he's getting the day off. Greg Allen will slide over to left field and bat ninth versus righty Gerrit Cole. Allen can be avoided in […]

Tyler Clippard Added to Indians Roster

Cleveland Indians relief pitcher Tyler Clippard has been recalled from Triple-A on Thursday. He suffered a pectoral strain in spring training, but appears ready to pitch now. Jefry Rodriguez has been sent down in a corresponding move. Rodriguez had a 2.13 ERA across 12 2/3 innings of work, so he shouldn't be in the minors […]

Jean Segura Could Play This Weekend

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Jean Segura (hamstring) could return as soon as Saturday, according to Matt Breen. It sounds like Segura is only going to need the minimum 10 days on the injured list to heal up. He was hot before landing on the injured list, so hopefully he can get back to right where he […]

Scott Kingery Could Return in Two Weeks

Philadelphia Phillies infielder Scott Kingery (hamstring) could return in two weeks, according to Matt Breen. Kingery landed on the injured list earlier this week, but it doesn't sound like he's going to be there too long. He's been crushing the ball this season, so this is great news for Phillies fans. Sean Rodriguez will play […]

Carter Kieboom Expected to Be Recalled on Friday

Washington Nationals infielder Carter Kieboom is expected to be recalled from Triple-A on Friday, according to Jesse Dougherty. Anthony Rendon (elbow) and Trea Turner (finger) are both sidelined, so the Nationals are thin in the infield right now. Kieboom has been lighting it up in the minors, so he should get some at-bats right away […]

Mallex Smith is Sitting Out on Thursday

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mallex Smith (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Texas Rangers. Smith hasn't recorded a hit in his last 20 at-bats, so it's not surprising to see him getting the night off. Mitch Haniger will bat first and play center field, while rookie Dylan Moore starts in […]

Jay Bruce Sidelined on Thursday

Seattle Mariners outfielder Jay Bruce (quad) will be sidelined for Thursday's game against the Texas Rangers. It's unclear when Bruce will return or if he'll land on the injured list. Mallex Smith gets the night off on Thursday, so Dylan Moore will make the start in left field and bat eighth versus lefty Taylor Hearn.

Zack Cozart Lands on Injured List

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Zack Cozart (neck) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. Cozart has been dealing with neck stiffness all week, so it's not surprising the Angels have decided to give him some rest. Infielder Luis Rengifo has been recalled from Triple-A to take Cozart's spot on the active roster. David […]

JaMychal Green Will Start in Game 5

Los Angeles Clippers center JaMychal Green will draw the start at center for Wednesday's Game 5 versus the Golden State Warriors. Green replaced Ivica Zubac in the starting five for Game 4, so that sounds like the plan again. Zubac didn't play in Game 4, so that is likely going to happen again.

Clint Capela Won't Be Limited in Game 5

Houston Rockets center Clint Capela (illness) won't be limited in Game 5 versus the Utah Jazz on Wednesday, according to head coach Mike D'Antoni. Capela struggled during Monday's contest, but that could've been because of the illness. The Rockets are unsure how much Capela will play, but it's going to depend on how the game […]

Amed Rosario Back in the Lineup Wednesday

New York Mets shortstop Amed Rosario (illness) is back in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Rosario had missed the last two games due to illness, but appears back on track to play on Wednesday. He'll bat seventh and play shortstop versus righty Vince Velasquez. Rosario isn't a great fantasy option […]

Chris Davis Will Rest on Wednesday

Baltimore Orioles first baseman Chris Davis (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Chicago White Sox. Davis will get the off day after going 2-for-4 on Tuesday. Renato Nunez will play first base and bat cleanup versus righty Ervin Santana. Nunez could be a cheap DFS option against the struggling […]
