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 […]

Zack Cozart Scratched from Lineup

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Zack Cozart (neck) has been scratched from Wednesday's starting lineup against the New York Yankees. Cozart was expected to return on Wednesday, but neck stiffness will sideline him. David Fletcher will bat first and play third base, while Tommy La Stella slides over to second base and bats ninth versus […]

Yonder Alonso Sitting Against Lefty

Chicago White Sox first baseman Yonder Alonso (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. The struggling slugger will sit out against left-handed starter John Means. Welington Castillo will serve as the designated hitter and bat sixth on Wednesday. Castillo is not much of a fantasy option for DFS […]

Adam Jones is Out on Wednesday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Adam Jones (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Jones has been hitting well for the D-Backs this season, so this is likely just a normal rest day. Blake Swihart will get the start in right field and bat sixth versus righty Jordan Lyles. Swihart […]

Zack Cozart in the Lineup on Wednesday

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Zack Cozart (head) is returning to the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the New York Yankees. Cozart was removed from Monday's game after hitting his head. He pinch hit on Tuesday but appears ready to return to the lineup on Wednesday. He'll bat ninth and play third base versus […]

Sean Rodriguez Debuting for Phillies Wednesday

Philadelphia Phillies infielder Sean Rodriguez is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the New York Mets. The Phillies called up Rodriguez after he hit .267/.327/.622 with four homers during 12 games in the minors. Rodriguez will bat seventh and play shortstop versus lefty Jason Vargas on Wednesday. He's not much of a fantasy […]

David Bote Activated Off Paternity List

Chicago Cubs infielder David Bote (personal) has been activated off the paternity-leave list on Wednesday. His wife gave birth to his first child, so Bote missed Tuesday's contest. However, he's available off the bench for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Daniel Descalso will bat first and play second base against righty Walker Buehler. […]

Corey Dickerson Throws on Wednesday

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Corey Dickerson (shoulder) has resumed his throwing program on Wednesday. Dickerson was able to throw off flat ground and hit without any issues. He's missed most of the regular season due to a right shoulder strain. The Pirates have not announced a timetable for his return yet.

Jonathon Niese Signs with Mariners

The Seattle Mariners have added depth with the signing of veteran pitcher Jonathon Niese on Wednesday. The veteran lefty has been pitching with the Long Island Ducks of the independent league. Niese hasn't appeared in an MLB game since 2016 with the Pirates and Mets. He'll head to Triple-A, but that won't mean much for […]

Draymond Green Practices on Tuesday

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green (hand) was able to fully participate in Tuesday's practice. He was in a splint after Sunday's game due to a right hand injury. Head coach Steve Kerr said Green will be fine. DFS players should not be worried about Green's status going forward.

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 […]
