Drew Smyly Activated, Starting Sunday

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Drew Smyly (arm) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Sunday. Smyly missed nearly two weeks due to left mid-arm nerve tightness. He will draw the start against the Toronto Blue Jays on Sunday. However, Smyly is carrying a 7.80 ERA into this contest, so fantasy owners can look […]

Enes Kanter is Uncertain for Game 4

Portland Trail Blazers center Enes Kanter (shoulder) is uncertain for Game 4 versus the Denver Nuggets. Kanter reportedly re-separated his left shoulder during Friday's Game 3 overtime contest. He played 56 minutes during that contest, so it wouldn't be surprising if Kanter wasn't ready for Game 4. More information should be known after Sunday's practice.

Pascal Siakam is Doubtful for Game 4

Toronto Raptors forward Pascal Siakam (calf) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's Game 4 against the Philadelphia 76ers. Siakam suffered a right calf contusion during Thursday's Game 3 loss to the Sixers. This is a huge blow to the Raptors as Siakam and Kawhi Leonard are the only players doing anything on offense for Toronto […]

Jason Heyward is Resting on Saturday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Jason Heyward (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Heyward is hitting .315/.422/.506 with five homers and 16 RBI to start the season. The Cubs want to keep him refreshed and healthy, so they will give him the day off. Kris Bryant will slide […]

Dexter Fowler is Back in the Lineup on Saturday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Dexter Fowler (illness) is back in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Chicago Cubs. Fowler hasn't been in the starting lineup since Sunday due to the flu. Fowler did have a pinch-hit single during Friday's contest, so even an illness can't hold his bat back. He'll bat seventh and […]

Ryon Healy is Sitting on Saturday

Seattle Mariners third baseman Ryon Healy (groin) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Cleveland Indians. Healy left Friday's game due to groin tightness and is considered day-to-day. Dylan Moore will play third base and bat ninth versus righty Carlos Carrasco on Saturday. Moore has struggled in his brief time in […]

Eddie Rosario is Back on Saturday

Minnesota Twins outfielder Eddie Rosario is back in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the New York Yankees. Rosario received a rest day on Friday, but is refreshed and ready to play on Saturday. He'll play left field and bat cleanup versus lefty J.A. Happ. Rosario might not be the best DFS option for […]

DJ LeMahieu Returns to the Lineup on Saturday

New York Yankees second baseman DJ LeMahieu (knee) will return to the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Minnesota Twins. LeMahieu has been out of the lineup since Monday after fouling a ball off his knee during Sunday's contest. LeMahieu will bat first and play second base versus righty Jake Odorizzi. He'll be a […]

Miguel Andujar Activated Off Injured List

New York Yankees third baseman Miguel Andujar (shoulder) has been activated off the 10-day injured list on Saturday. Andujar suffered a small tear in his labrum shortly after Opening Day. The Yankees will have Andujar mostly serve as the designated hitter in order to protect his shoulder. However, Andujar will play third base and bat […]

Adam Rosales Has Been Traded to the Indians

Minnesota Twins infielder Adam Rosales has been traded to the Cleveland Indians in exchange for cash considerations. Rosales has not played in the MLB this season, but that could change quickly. However, Rosales was hitting .194/.263/.222 in Triple-A, so he wasn't off to the best start. The Indians will send Rosales to Triple-A, and if […]

Tzu-Wei Lin Placed on 10-Day Injured List

Boston Red Sox infielder Tzu-Wei Lin (knee) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. Lin suffered a left knee injury while attempting to steal a base on Friday. The Red Sox will have Lin undergo further testing to determine how long he will be sidelined. He doesn't have much fantasy value, so this won't […]

Luke Gregerson Activated on Saturday

St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher Luke Gregerson (shoulder) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Saturday. Gregerson has not pitched in the MLB this season, but should be a key part to the Red Birds bullpen. Gregerson struggled last season, so the Cardinals will likely start him out in middle relief. However, Gregerson […]

James Paxton is Placed on Injured List

New York Yankees starting pitcher James Paxton (knee) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. Paxton left after just three innings during Friday's start due to left knee inflammation. The Yankees will have Paxton undergo an MRI, so a better idea about his timetable will be known later. Righty Jake Barrett has been recalled […]

Nikola Mirotic Will Start in Game 3

Milwaukee Bucks forward Nikola Mirotic will remain in the starting lineup for Friday's Game 3 versus the Boston Celtics. Mirotic replaced Sterling Brown (back) in Game 2, and will do it once again here. Mirotic scored nine points and grabbed nine rebounds in 25 minutes during Game 2. Brown was scoreless off the bench during […]

Jamal Murray Will Play on Friday

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (thigh) will play in Friday's Game 3 versus the Portland Trail Blazers. Murray has been battling a right thigh issue since Game 1, but will continue to play through it. Murray had his thigh wrapped up during shootaround, so this could be something that could affect his performance. He might […]

Tyler O'Neill Optioned to the Minors

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill has been optioned to Triple-A Memphis on Friday. The Cardinals just don't have room for O'Neill on the current roster and want him to play every day. Relief pitcher Luke Gregerson (shoulder) has been activated from the 10-day injured list and will take over O'Neill's spot on the active […]

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is Back on Friday

Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Texas Rangers. He sat out on Thursday after collecting just three hits over his first 18 at-bats. Guerrero will bat fifth and play third base versus lefty Mike Minor on Friday.

DJ LeMahieu Remains Out on Friday

New York Yankees second baseman DJ LeMahieu (knee) remains sidelined for Friday's game against the Minnesota Twins. LeMahieu has been battling some inflammation in his knee, but the Yankees were hopeful he'd be able to play on Friday. Instead, Tyler Wade will draw the start at second base and bat ninth versus righty Kyle Gibson.

Yan Gomes is Resting on Friday

Washington Nationals catcher Yan Gomes (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. The Nats will give their veteran catcher the day off, but he should be back in there on Saturday. Kurt Suzuki will draw the start behind the plate and bat fifth versus righty Jerad Eickhoff. There […]

Eddie Rosario is Sitting on Friday

Minnesota Twins outfielder Eddie Rosario (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the New York Yankees. It appears this is just a normal day off for the lefty slugger. The Twins are facing lefty James Paxton, so that could be another reason why Rosario is sitting out. Marwin Gonzalez will play […]

Josh Donaldson Returns on Friday

Atlanta Braves third baseman Josh Donaldson (calf) is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Miami Marlins. Donaldson has not played since Monday after suffering a right calf injury. He'll play third base and bat second versus righty Jose Urena on Friday. Donaldson is going to be a solid DFS option in […]

Miguel Andujar is Expected to be Activated Saturday

New York Yankees third baseman Miguel Andujar (shoulder) is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list on Saturday. The Yankees plan to move Andujar to the designated hitter spot and leave Giovanny Urshela at third base. It's unclear whether or not Andujar will return to third base this season, but he should be […]

Didi Gregorius is Still A Few Weeks Away

New York Yankees shortstop Didi Gregorius (elbow) is still a few weeks away from beginning a rehab assignment, according to manager Aaron Boone. Gregorius is still rehabbing from Tommy John surgery, so the Yankees won't rush him back. It sounds like Gregorius won't be back until around the All-Star break.

Troy Tulowitzki is Likely Out A Week

New York Yankees shortstop Troy Tulowitzki (calf) will likely be shut down at least a week after suffering a mild strain in his calf, according to manager Aaron Boone. Tulowitzki suffered a setback during his rehab assignment this week. It sounds like Yankees fans are going to have to wait about two weeks before they […]

Chris Iannetta Activated on Friday

Colorado Rockies catcher Chris Iannetta (lat) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Friday. Iannetta has missed the last few weeks of action due to a lat strain. He's back in the starting lineup on Friday. He'll bat seventh and draw the start behind the plate versus lefty Robbie Ray.

Daniel Murphy is Sitting on Friday

Colorado Rockies first baseman Daniel Murphy (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Murphy has been off to a slow start this season and the Rockies are facing a lefty pitcher. Giving Murphy the night off was a smart idea here. Mark Reynolds will play first base and […]

Gregory Polanco is Sitting Against Lefty

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Gregory Polanco (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Oakland Athletics. Polanco is normally in the starting lineup, but gets the night off against the left-hander Brett Anderson. Melky Cabrera will draw the start in right field and bat third versus Anderson. Cabrera could be worth a […]

Francisco Cervelli is Back on Friday

Pittsburgh Pirates catcher Francisco Cervelli (wrist) is back in Friday's starting lineup against the Oakland Athletics. Cervelli was hit by a pitch and forced to sit out last game due to a sore left wrist. Cervelli will bat sixth and draw the start behind the plate versus lefty Brett Anderson. He's a decent DFS option […]

Stephen Curry Will Be Fine for Game 3

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (finger) will be ready for Game 3 versus the Houston Rockets on Saturday. Curry dislocated his left finger during Game 2 on Wednesday, but he was able to finish the game. It doesn't appear that this is a serious injury and Curry should be fine for Saturday's contest.

Malcolm Brogdon Ruled Out for Game 3

Milwaukee Bucks guard Malcolm Brogdon (foot) has been ruled out for Friday's Game 3 against the Boston Celtics. Brogdon was able to practice on Monday, but he's just not ready for game action yet. There was a small chance he would be ready for Game 3. Hopefully Brogdon can log in some minutes in Game […]
