Los Angeles Lakers forward Cole Swider has been waived by the organization on Wednesday. The 24-year-old split time between the NBA and the G-League last season.

Derrick White To Start At Point Guard

Boston Celtics guard Derrick White will be the starting point guard heading into next season, according to head coach Joe Mazzulla. The 29-year-old has been a reliable option for Boston since they acquired him from the San Antonio Spurs. However, Marcus Smart prevented him from reaching his full potential as a player. The good news […]

Dodgers Acquire Amed Rosario

The Los Angeles Dodgers have acquired shortstop Amed Rosario from the Cleveland Guardians on Wednesday. This deal makes sense for the Dodgers who have experienced issues in the field all season long. Rosario is on the last year of his deal before free agency, so it sounds like Guardians weren't interested in extending him long […]

Freddy Tarnok Named Opener For Wednesday

Oakland Athletics pitcher Freddy Tarnok has been named the opener for Wednesday's game against the San Francisco Giants. The 24-year-old has thrown 5 2/3 innings over two relief appearances since being called up shortly after the All-Star break. Tarnok is the A's No. 5 prospect, according to MLB Pipeline. The assumption is that the team […]

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Mike Clevinger (biceps) is expected to make his return to the mound against the Cleveland Guardians on Saturday. The right-hander has been out since the middle of June due to a right biceps injury. He was able to throw a simulated earlier this week, so it sounds like he'll be […]

New York Mets outfielder Starling Marte (head) won't be activated when first eligible to come off the injured list, according to manager Buck Showalter. Marte has been sidelined due to migraines, but was originally expected to make his return on Thursday. However, it sounds like Marte is expecting a child in the next few days, […]

Brent Rooker Returning To The Lineup

Oakland Athletics outfielder Brent Rooker (illness) is back in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the San Francisco Giants. Rooker will return to the lineup for the first time since last Thursday. The 28-year-old has struggled lately with only two hits in his last 16 at-bats since the All-Star break. Regardless, fantasy managers who […]

Twins Acquire Dylan Floro

Miami Marlins relief pitcher Dylan Floro has been traded to the Minnesota Twins in exchange for right-handed reliever Jorge Lopez. It's a bit odd to see two contending organizations swap relievers. The Marlins have been using Floro in some high-leverage situations this season. He holds a 4.54 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 41/11 K/BB with seven […]

Nolan Gorman Back In The Lineup

St. Louis Cardinals infielder Nolan Gorman (back) is returning to the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. He has missed each of the last two games due to back tightness. Luckily, it appears to be a minor issue and Gorman will return to the lineup now. He'll play second base and bat […]

Corbin Carroll Resting On Tuesday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. This appears to be a routine rest day for the 22-year-old outfielder. Alek Thomas will cover center field and bat ninth versus left-hander Steven Matz on Tuesday. Fantasy managers should make sure to adjust their lineups […]

J.D. Martinez Returning On Tuesday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder J.D. Martinez (hamstring) will return to the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. He was scratched from the lineup ahead of Sunday's game due to left hamstring tightness. The Dodgers decided to hold Martinez out of Monday's game as a precaution. He'll serve as the designated hitter […]

Jeff Dowtin Jr. Returning To Raptors

Toronto Raptors guard Jeff Dowtin Jr. has signed a training camp deal with the organization over the weekend. The 26-year-old spent last season with the Raptors on a two-way deal.

Trevor Keels Waived By Knicks

New York Knicks guard Trevor Keels is expected to be waived by the organization. This news comes days after Keels reportedly signed a two-way deal with the team. The Knicks are trying to make room for recently signed forward Dylan Windler. That being said, Keels appears to be the odd man out. It's worth noting […]

Quenton Jackson Released By Wizards

Washington Wizards guard Quenton Jackson has been released by the organization on Monday. The 24-year-old guard agreed to a two-year, two-way deal with the team before the 2022-2023 campaign.

Kyle Anderson Will Play In World Cup

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Kyle Anderson (eye) is set to represent China in the upcoming World Cup. That is good news after Anderson underwent left eye surgery in mid-May. Anderson became a naturalized citizen of China on Monday, so that's how he's allowed to play for them in the World Cup. The fact he's going to […]

Knicks Waive Duane Washington Jr.

New York Knicks guard Duane Washington Jr. has been waived by the organization on Monday. The 23-year-old finished last season on a two-way deal with the Knicks.

Mavericks Showing Interest In Jaylen Nowell

Free-agent guard Jaylen Nowell is not expected to return to the Minnesota Timberwolves this upcoming season. The 24-year-old has been a reliable bench scorer for the T-Wolves over the last three seasons. As of right now, the Dallas Mavericks appear to be the team most likely to sign Nowell. The Mavs are still looking for […]

Dylan Windler Signs Two-Way Deal With Knicks

Free-agent forward Dylan Windler has signed a two-way deal with the New York Knicks. The 26-year-old has spent each of the last three seasons with the Cleveland Cavaliers. During that span, he has averaged 3.3 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 0.8 assists in 84 games. This appears to be a depth move as the former first-round […]

Suns Remain Interest In T.J. McConnell

Indiana Pacers guard T.J. McConnell could be on the move this offseason with the Phoenix Suns showing interest in him. The Suns are in need of a backup point guard after trading Cameron Payne to the San Antonio Spurs earlier this month. The difficult part is that the Suns don't have many tradable assets at […]

Pistons Attempting To Move Killian Hayes

The Detroit Pistons have recently engaged in trade talks surrounding guard Killian Hayes. The organization is reportedly talking to the Dallas Mavericks, but it doesn't sound like the Mavs have much interest in Hayes.

Seranthony Dominguez Expected To Rejoin Team On Tuesday

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Seranthony Dominguez (oblique) is set to rejoin the team on Tuesday. The right-hander has missed the last five weeks of action due to an oblique strain.

Adolis Garcia Remains Out Of The Lineup

Texas Rangers outfielder Adolis Garcia (hand) remains out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Houston Astros. The 30-year-old slugger was hit by a pitch on the hand during Saturday's game. He sat out of Sunday's contest as a precaution and will miss this game as well. It sounds like a day-to-day issue, […]

Raimel Tapia Elects Free Agency

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Raimel Tapia has decided to elect free agency on Monday. He was recently designated for assignment by the organization in order to make room for Sal Frelick on the active roster. The 29-year-old spent time with the Boston Red Sox earlier in the season before joining the Brewers. He's slashing .230/.308/.388 with […]
