Michael Massey Scratched On Friday

Kansas City Royals second baseman Michael Massey (finger) has been scratched from Friday's starting lineup versus the Los Angeles Angels. The 25-year-old suffered a finger laceration, so the team will hold him out from this contest. This sounds like a minor issue, so fantasy managers should consider Massey as day-to-day. In the meantime, Matt Duffy […]

Cristian Pache Activated On Friday

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Cristian Pache (knee) has been activated from the 10-day injured list ahead of Friday's game against the Oakland Athletics. The 24-year-old has been out since late-April due to a meniscus tear in his right knee. Before that, Pache was actually hitting well through his first nine games with the Phillies. He's not […]

Yasmani Grandal Sitting Out On Friday

Chicago White Sox catcher Yasmani Grandal is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Seattle Mariners. This appears to be a routine rest day for the switch-hitting catcher. He's slashing .271/.330/.410 with five home runs and 18 RBI in 50 games this season. Seby Zavala will cover behind the plate and bat […]

Triston McKenzie Scratched On Friday

Cleveland Guardians starting pitcher Triston McKenzie (elbow) has been scratched from Friday's start against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The 25-year-old is dealing with right elbow discomfort, so he'll take the night off. It's uncertain if this issue will force McKenzie onto the injured list. Fantasy managers will have to stay tuned for more information on his […]

Gio Urshela Heads To Injured List

Los Angeles Angels infielder Gio Urshela (hip) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Friday. The corner infielder was removed from Thursday's game after falling down while attempting to run out a grounder. The 31-year-old was seen using crutches, which is never a good sign. The Angels revealed that Urshela suffered a left […]

Ryan McMahon Resting On Friday

Colorado Rockies infielder Ryan McMahon is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Atlanta Braves. This appears to be nothing more than a routine rest day for the left-handed slugger. He's slashing .271/.352/.494 with 10 home runs and 38 RBI in 67 games this season. Coco Montes will cover second base and […]

Jalin Hyatt Working With Third-Team Offense

New York Giants wide receiver Jalin Hyatt has been working with the third-team offense during offseason practices, according to Dan Duggan.

The assumption is that they believe the […]

Isiah Pacheco Hopeful To Return Soon

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco (shoulder, hand) is hopeful to return mid-way through camp, according to Nate Taylor of The Athletic. Pacheco suffered a torn labrum and a broken bone in his hand this past season. He was able to play through the injuries, but ultimately needed surgery after the season. Pacheco is […]

Parris Campbell To Be Featured Piece

New York Giants wide receiver Parris Campbell is expected to be a featured piece of the offense, according to Dan Duggan of The Athletic. It sounds like Campbell is doing extremely well during in camp. He caught more passes than any other wideout on roster during seven-on-seven drills. It's still early, but Campbell appears to […]

Falcons Sign Matthew Trickett To Three-Year Deal

The Atlanta Falcons have made a move to add depth at their kicking position. On Friday, they signed undrafted kicker Matthew Trickett to a three-year deal.

Rafael Devers Returning On Friday

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the New York Yankees. The left-handed slugger received a rest day on Wednesday and the team had a scheduled off-day on Thursday. It appears the team just wanted to give Devers some extra rest. He'll resume his role […]

Daniel Vogelbach Returns To The Lineup

New York Mets first baseman Daniel Vogelbach is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. This is the first time that Vogelbach has been in the lineup since June 7. The Mets were giving the slumping corner infielder a mental break. He's slashing .203//343/.297 with two home runs and […]

Francisco Alvarez Resting On Friday

New York Mets catcher Francisco Alvarez is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. This appears to be a routine rest day for Alvarez, so he should be back in the lineup after this game. He's slashing .236/.289/.520 with 12 home runs and 25 RBI in 41 games this […]

Ryan Mountcastle Not Quite Ready Yet

Baltimore Orioles infielder Ryan Mountcastle (illness) was recently placed on the 10-day injured list due to vertigo. Manager Brandon Hyde mentioned that Mountcastle is doing better, but isn't quite ready to return yet. He was spotted taking some throws at first base prior to Friday's game against the Chicago Cubs. That is an indication that […]

Chidobe Awuzie Should Be Ready For Week 1

Cincinnati Bengals defensive back Chidobe Awuzie (knee) is nearly a lock to be ready for Week 1, according to Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic. Awuzie is currently working his way back from an ACL tear that forced him to miss a good chunk of last season. It sounds like Awuzie is doing great in […]

Ben Skowronek Not Practicing

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Ben Skowronek (foot) is currently not practicing in minicamp. The 25-year-old is dealing with a foot issue that is believed to be minor. Skowronek became a fairly popular target for the Rams late in the season last year. However, it's unlikely he carries over the same value with Cooper Kupp […]

Trent Sherfield Impressing In Camp

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Trent Sherfield has reportedly stood out early in camp. The 27-year-old has stepped up and been a favorite of quarterback Josh Allen. Sherfield was brought in as depth, but might be able to earn himself the No. 3 receiver job. He's expected to compete with Khalil Shakir and Deonte Harty for […]

Deandre Hopkins Receives Offer From Titans

Free-agent wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins has reportedly received a contract offer from the Tennessee Titans. The All-Pro wideout is making his rounds and likely plans to visit with multiple organizations before making his decision.

J.K. Dobbins' Absence Was Contract-Related

Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins has been absent from mandatory minicamp because he's seeking a contract extension.

Pacers Showing Interest In Grant Williams

Boston Celtics forward Grant Williams is set to become a restricted free agent this summer. The 24-year-old recently underwent hand surgery, but should be fine by the beginning of next season. That being said, Williams should have a fairly decent market in free agency. The Pacers are reportedly going to be in the mix for […]

Pelicans Unlikely To Trade Brandon Ingram

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram is unlikely to be moved this offseason. The organization says no player is untouchable, but they have shown little interest in moving Ingram, according to Yahoo Sports. Ingram is coming off a 45-game, injury-plagued season with the Pelicans. Despite that, he still averaged 24.7 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 5.8 […]

Payton Pritchard Unlikely To Find Perfect Fit

Boston Celtics guard Payton Pritchard recently mentioned that he'd rather be traded than play off the bench. The 25-year-old has played a minimal role on the team over the last three seasons. The organization has high praise for Pritchard and the way he plays the game. However, they don't have the minutes available for him […]

Knicks Could Be Bad Fit For Chris Paul

Phoenix Suns guard Chris Paul is one of the hottest names in the trade market right now. One of the teams currently linked to the 38-year-old are the New York Knicks. At first glance, Paul could be a good fit for the Knicks. He's an all-around veteran player that should be able to make a […]

Bulls Could Move On From Zach LaVine

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine could be suiting up for a new team as early as next season. The organization is quietly feeling out the trade market for LaVine, according to Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports. This isn't too surprising considering the Bulls front office might decide to go full rebuild soon. That being said, […]

Danilo Gallinari Accepts Player Option

Boston Celtics forward Danilo Gallinari has decided to exercise his $6.8 million player option for the 2023-24 season. The 34-year-old missed the entirety of last season after suffering a torn left ACL during a FIBA qualifying game for Italy. Before that, Gallinari signed a two-year, $13.3 million deal with Boston. It was unlikely that Gallinari […]

Mark Williams Undergoes Successful Surgery

Charlotte Hornets center Mark Williams (thumb) underwent successful surgery to repair a torn ligament in his right thumb on Wednesday. The rookie big man moved into the rotation during the second half of the season. He took over as the starting center after Mason Plumlee was moved at the trade deadline. In the 18 games […]

Rockets Could End Pursuit Of James Harden

Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden is expected to opt-out of the final year of his deal and test free agency this summer. The 33-year-old will be one of the bigger names available in free agency, but that doesn't mean Harden will have a lot of suitors. In fact, it sounds like the 76ers and Houston […]

Suns Could Pursue Fred Vanvleet

The Phoenix Suns are expected to move on from point guard Chris Paul this offseason. If that happens, free-agent point guard Fred VanVleet could be a potential option for them. Vanvleet recently declined his $22.8 million player option with the Toronto Raptors. That means, Vanvleet will be a free agent and should have plenty of […]

Peyton Watson Could See Expanded Role

Denver Nuggets forward Peyton Watson had a fairly quiet rookie campaign this past season. The Nuggets selected Watson out of UCLA as the 30th pick of the 2022 NBA Draft. He saw a minimal role with the team, but that could quickly change next season. Apparently, he has impressed coaches and teammates, so he could […]

Bradley Beal Could Be Traded

Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal is expected to be traded if the organization decides to go into rebuild mode. The Wizards mentioned they will work with Beal on a trade if they decide to go that route in the near future. The three-time All-Star is currently in his second year of a five-year, $251 million […]
