Detroit Tigers relief pitcher Kenley Jansen (groin) is considered day-to-day after picking up an injury during his most recent outing on Wednesday. Tigers manager A.J. Hinch confirmed on Saturday that Jansen is sidelined at the moment with right groin/abdomen soreness. It doesn't sound like something that will require a trip to the Injured List, but […]

Brandon Nimmo is Absent with Hamstring Issue

Texas Rangers outfielder Brandon Nimmo (hamstring) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Detroit Tigers. This doesn't come as a surprise after Nimmo was forced to make an early exit from Friday's game due to a right hamstring injury. The Rangers are going to play it safe and hold out […]

Michael Harris II is Back in the Lineup on Saturday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Michael Harris II (quad) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Colorado Rockies. Harris returns to the starting lineup after missing two consecutive starts due to left quad soreness. He did come off the bench and hit a go-ahead home run during Friday's win. He appears to […]

Texas Rangers outfielder Wyatt Langford (forearm) will miss at least one more week of action. He rejoined the team on Saturday ahead of their game against the Detroit Tigers.

George Springer has No New Damage to Foot

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (foot) was removed during Saturday's game after getting hit by a pitch on the left foot. This is bad timing with Springer recently returning after missing time from a fractured left big toe. He underwent an MRI, which revealed no new damage to his left toe. Jays' manager John […]

Kyle Harrison is Excellent Streaming Option for Saturday

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Kyle Harrison has been surprisingly stellar on the mound this season.

He tossed six innings, allowing one hit and zero earned runs while making the Pirates hitters whiff all game long. […]

Brandon Marsh Exits Early with Elbow Injury

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Brandon Marsh (elbow) was forced to make an early exit from Friday's game against the Miami Marlins. Marsh was pulled out of the game in the seventh inning due to a bruised right elbow. There aren't many more details on the situation, but it doesn't sound like this issue should force him […]

Connelly Early a Viable Streaming Option Ahead of Saturday's Start

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Connelly Early is putting together strong numbers on the mound right now. Through the first month of the season, Early owns a 2.84 ERA, 1.20 WHIP, and a 28:14 K:BB ratio across six starts. In his most recent outing, Early threw 6.2 innings, allowing two runs on four hits with […]

Kazuma Okamoto is Looking More Comfortable

Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Kazuma Okamoto got off to a slow start to his big league career. The slugger appears to be finally turning a corner with the bat. Over the last two weeks, Okamoto is 11-for-45 at the plate with three home runs, 11 RBI, and six walks. The uptick in walks is […]

Agustin Ramirez Continues Struggling with the Bat

Miami Marlins catcher Agustin Ramirez hasn't been able to find much success at the plate recently. Over the last two weeks, Ramirez is 8-for-40 at the plate with one home run and three RBI. It has been an ugly stretch of play with Ramirez posting a .581 OPS over the last two weeks. Liam Hicks […]

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher George Kirby didn't have his best stuff working for him during Wednesday's outing against the Minnesota Twins. Kirby allowed two earned runs on eight hits with five strikeouts across 5.2 innings of work during Wednesday's no-decision. He was on the hook for the loss until the Mariners' offense came alive late […]

Tyler Glasnow Continues Stellar Beginning to the Season

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow didn't have his best command during Wednesday's outing against the Miami Marlins. The right-hander issued a season-high six walks in what ended up being a no-decision for Glasnow. He was able to salvage his fantasy value by tying his season-high with nine strikeouts across 5.2 innings of work. […]

Gunnar Henderson Heating Up With the Bat

Baltimore Orioles shortstop Gunnar Henderson has been off to a slow start to the season, but appears to be coming around with the bat. The overall numbers aren't pretty with Henderson slashing .213/.287/.492 with 41 strikeouts through the first 29 games of the season. The good news is that the slugger has been turning the […]

Max Fried Looks to Keep Scoreless Streak Alive

New York Yankees starting pitcher Max Fried has been on another level lately. The southpaw had a rough outing against the Los Angeles Angels on April 16 and has been untouchable since then. Over his last two starts, Fried has thrown 14 straight scoreless innings with 14 strikeouts and four walks. He'll look to keep […]

Povich is set to return to the O's roster after being sent down on April 13. He figures to fill the vacant rotation spot with Trevor Rogers (illness) getting placed on the Injured List […]

Justin Steele Shut Down Following Setback

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Justin Steele (elbow) has suffered a setback in his rehab program and is shut down from throwing, according to Jesse Rogers. The Cubs were hopeful to get Steele back around Memorial Day in late May. That timetable seems unlikely now with this latest setback. Steele is working his way back from […]

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Spencer Strider (oblique) will make his season debut against the Colorado Rockies this weekend. Braves manager Walt Weiss confirmed the news on Tuesday, but it wasn't announced which day Strider will pitch.

Spencer Schwellenbach Worth Stashing in Deeper Leagues?

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Spencer Schwellenbach (elbow) won't make his season debut until after the All-Star break, according to manager Walt Weiss. That news was confirmed on Tuesday, but that doesn't rule out Schwellenbach still making an impact this season. The right-hander underwent surgery in February to remove bone spurs from his right elbow. He […]

Geraldo Perdomo Remains Sidelined with Ankle Issue

Arizona Diamondbacks infielder Geraldo Perdomo (ankle) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers.

Andres Gimenez is Returning to the Lineup on Tuesday

Toronto Blue Jays infielder Andres Gimenez (undisclosed) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Boston Red Sox. Gimenez is back in the mix after sitting out the last two games for what seems like rest purposes. Jays' manager John Schneider said Gimenez was available off the bench on Monday, but […]

Oneil Cruz is Back in Action on Tuesday

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Oneil Cruz (illness) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals.

Cooper Flagg Wins Rookie of the Year Award

Dallas Mavericks forward Cooper Flagg was named the NBA's Rookie of the Year on Monday. The 19-year-old becomes the third Mavericks player to win the award, joining Jason Kidd and Luka Doncic.

Joel Embiid is Probable for Game 5

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (abdomen) is listed as probable ahead of Tuesday's Game 5 against the Boston Celtics.

Austin Reaves Could Return for Game 5

Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves (oblique) has a chance at returning for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Houston Rockets. Reaves was considered questionable for Game 4, but ultimately sat out of the contest. It sounds like possibly the Lakers were holding out Reaves as a precaution, with the team holding a 3-0 lead at […]

Luka Doncic Officially Won't Play During First-Round Series

Los Angeles Lakers guard Luka Doncic (hamstring) will officially remain sidelined for the entire first-round series.

It seems like the Lakers are going to be fine […]

Jonathan Isaac to Remain Out for Game 4

Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's Game 4 against the Detroit Pistons.

Reynaldo Lopez to Work on his Mechanics in Relief Role

Atlanta Braves pitcher Reynaldo Lopez is heading to the bullpen for now, according to Mark Bowman. The team is shifting Lopez to the pen so he can focus on his mechanical issues. The right-hander has walked 11 batters across his five starts and doesn't look sharp at the moment. The Braves want to keep JR […]

Louis Varland Converts Another Save, a Must-Have Fantasy Closer?

Toronto Blue Jays relief pitcher Louis Varland was tasked with once again pitching in the final frame.
