Lucas Giolito Activated on Thursday

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Lucas Giolito (hamstring) has been activated off the 10-day injured list. Carlos Rodon (elbow) has been placed on the 10-day injured list after dealing with elbow inflammation. Giolito will draw the start against the Boston Red Sox on Thursday. Giolito's 5.30 ERA does not scream streaming option for DFS contests, […]

Dylan Covey Joins White Sox Rotation

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Dylan Covey has joined the Sox starting rotation after Carlos Rodon (elbow) went down. Rodon is possibly facing having Tommy John surgery, so his season could very well be over. Covey has been awful during his time as an MLB starter, but maybe he's fixed some things this time around. […]

Seth Maness Signs With Rangers

The Texas Rangers and veteran right-handed reliever Seth Maness have agreed to terms on a minor league deal. Maness has not pitched in the majors since 2017, but does have a career 3.21 ERA across parts of five seasons. He's mainly a middle-relief pitcher with a little closing experience. Maness will head to Triple-A, but […]

Carlos Rodon May Need Tommy John Surgery

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Carlos Rodon (elbow), who was placed on the 10-day injured list on Thursday with left elbow inflammation, could be headed towards Tommy John surgery. Rodon is reportedly dealing with an edema in his flexor mass tendon. The Sox have said that everything is on the table, so Rodon could have […]

Matt Duffy to Begin Rehab Assignment Friday

Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Matt Duffy (hamstring) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment on Friday. Duffy is expected to spend at least a week in the minors after being out since spring training due to hamstring issues. Fantasy owners should expect Duffy back in the big leagues by the middle of May.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is Not in Thursday's Lineup

Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Angels, according to manager Charlie Montoyo. The Jays have not announced their lineup yet, but Montoyo said Guerrero would not be starting. Guerrero has been quiet since being called up, so the Jays […]

James Harden Should Be Fine for Game 3

Houston Rockets guard James Harden (eye) visited an eye doctor on Wednesday and the Rockets believe Harden should be fine for Game 3. Harden suffered an eye contusion during Game 2. Harden said he could barely see after the game, so hopefully this isn't a long-term issue. More information should be known later in the […]

Mike Scott Could Play in Game 3

Philadelphia 76ers forward Mike Scott (heel) is listed as questionable for Thursday's Game 3 versus the Toronto Raptors. He has missed the last two games, but was able to practice on Wednesday. He's dealing with plantar fasciitis as well, so the Sixers may continue to let him rest. He doesn't offer much upside in terms […]

Greg Monroe is Probable for Thursday

Philadelphia 76ers center Greg Monroe (ankle) is listed as probable for Thursday's Game 3 versus the Toronto Raptors. Monroe suffered a left ankle sprain during Game 2, but it doesn't appear to be too serious. He played well during his last game, so the Sixers should be able to trust Monroe again behind Joel Embiid.

Luke Bard is the Opener on Wednesday

Los Angeles Angels pitcher Luke Bard will get the "start" against the Toronto Blue Jays on Wednesday. The Angels plan on using Bard as the opener and then going to right-hander Felix Pena out of the bullpen. Bard is likely only going to pitch a few innings, so DFS players can stay away from Bard.

Christian Yelich Should Return This Weekend

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich (back) is on track to return to the starting lineup this weekend, according to manager Craig Counsell. This is great news for both the Brewers and for fantasy owners because Yelich has been on fire to start the season. There is a chance Yelich lands on the 10-day injured list […]

Kole Calhoun Drops in Batting Order

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Kole Calhoun has been hitting at the top of the batting order versus righty pitchers all year. He'll drop to sixth in the batting order versus righty Marcus Stroman on Wednesday. Calhoun is hitting .194, so this move does make sense for the Angels. Tommy La Stella will bat first against […]

Todd Frazier Won't Play on Wednesday

New York Mets third baseman Todd Frazier (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. The red-hot J.D. Davis will draw the start at third base and bat fifth versus righty Anthony DeSclafani. Davis is looking like a sneaky pickup in DFS contests for Wednesday. DeSclafani has struggled and […]

Martin Prado is Playing First Base on Wednesday

Miami Marlins infielder Martin Prado is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Indians. Neil Walker is sitting out and has only seen two plate appearances over the last three games. Prado will play first base and bat fifth versus righty Corey Kluber. Prado is hitting for a solid average this season […]

Derek Dietrich is Starting on Wednesday

Cincinnati Reds infielder/outfielder Derek Dietrich is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the New York Mets. Scott Schebler will get the night off, but he's struggling, so that's probably a good idea. Dietrich will play left field and bat fifth versus righty Jacob deGrom. Dietrich has not done much this season, so he's […]

Juan Soto is Sitting Out on Wednesday

Washington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. The slugging outfielder is just getting a normal rest day. Michael A. Taylor will slide over to center field and bat eighth versus righty Miles Mikolas. Taylor hasn't done much in his brief chances this […]

Sean Rodriguez Starting in Left Field

Philadelphia Phillies infielder/outfielder Sean Rodriguez will draw the start in left field on Wednesday versus the Detroit Tigers. Nick Williams and Aaron Altherr will get the night off to rest. Rodriguez will bat sixth versus lefty Daniel Norris. Rodriguez hasn't done much since joining the Phillies, but could be a cheap DFS option for Wednesday.

Aron Baynes Will Play in Game 2

Boston Celtics center Aron Baynes (ankle) is available for Tuesday's Game 2 versus the Milwaukee Bucks. Baynes tweaked his ankle during Game 1 on Sunday, but it appears to be fine now. It doesn't seem like Baynes was in danger of missing this contest. He should see around 10-15 minutes off the bench.

Carmelo Anthony Could Return to Knicks

Power forward Carmelo Anthony said he isn't ruling out returning to the New York Knicks next season. Anthony didn't last long on the Houston Rockets this season and sat out basically the entire year. Anthony would likely return as a role player off the bench, but might have fantasy value given the playing time. The […]

Sterling Brown is Listed as Probable for Tuesday

Milwaukee Bucks guard Sterling Brown (back) is listed as probable for Tuesday's Game 2 versus the Boston Celtics. However, it sounds like the Bucks are waiting until pre-game to decide whether or not Brown will play. He would see basically all the minutes he could handle as a starter, but DFS players will have to […]

Giovanny Urshela Won't Play on Tuesday

New York Yankees third baseman Giovanny Urshela (hand) is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Urshela left early on Sunday after getting hit on the wrist by a pitch. The X-rays were negative, so Urshela is considered day-to-day as of right now. Tyler Wade will play third base and […]

Mitch Haniger is Back in the Lineup on Tuesday

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger (shoulder) is back in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Chicago Cubs. Haniger did not play in Sunday's game due to shoulder soreness. Haniger will play right field and bat leadoff versus lefty Cole Hamels on Tuesday. Fantasy owners can go ahead and plug Haniger back into their […]

Zack Godley Heads to the Bullpen

Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Zack Godley has been demoted from the starting rotation to the bullpen on Tuesday, according to manager Torey Lovullo. Godley had a 7.58 ERA through six starts this season, so hopefully he'll have better success in the bullpen. Jon Duplantier is expected to take over in the rotation, but nothing has officially […]

Griffin Canning Will Make Debut on Tuesday

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Griffin Canning is making his MLB debut on Tuesday versus the Toronto Blue Jays. Canning had a 0.56 ERA with 17 strikeouts through three starts in the minors this season. He has a chance to stick in the MLB rotation if he pitches well on Tuesday. He's worth keeping an […]

Jurickson Profar is Out on Tuesday

Oakland Athletics second baseman Jurickson Profar (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Boston Red Sox. It appears this is just a rest day for Profar, so he should be back soon. Chad Pinder will draw the start at second base and bat seventh versus righty Rick Porcello. Pinder doesn't […]

Jake Bauers is in Left Field on Tuesday

Cleveland Indians first baseman/outfielder Jake Bauers is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Miami Marlins. Bauers will slide over to left field and bat seventh versus righty Sandy Alcantara. Tyler Naquin will get the night off with Carlos Gonzalez and Leonys Martin covering the rest of the outfield. Bauers has not hit […]

Matt Olson to Begin Rehab Assignment on Wednesday

Oakland Athletics first baseman Matt Olson (hand) is scheduled to begin his rehab assignment at Triple-A on Wednesday. Olson suffered a fractured hamate bone on March 21 and hasn't played since then. The Athletics aren't going to rush Olson back, so he should get plenty of at-bats in the minors. Olson should be back with […]

A.J. Pollock Lands on Injured List

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder A.J. Pollock (elbow) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. Pollock is dealing with a right elbow infection, but is hopeful that he won't miss much more than the 10 days. Alex Verdugo has been swinging a hot bat and is expected to see much more playing time now with […]

Erick Fedde Could Move to Nats Bullpen

Washington Nationals pitcher Erick Fedde was called up for an emergency appearance on Sunday and was fantastic out of the bullpen. Fedde was once a top prospect not too long ago, but hasn't experienced much success in the MLB. He's scheduled to start for Double-A on Friday, but the Nationals may want to convert him […]

Derek Holland Lands on Injured List

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Derek Holland (finger) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. Holland suffered a left index finger bone bruise in spring training and has been lingering ever since then. Tyler Beede is expected to take Holland's turn in the rotation against the Reds on Friday. Beede has been fantastic in […]
