Dejounte Murray Suspended For Game 5

Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray has been suspended for the upcoming Game 5 matchup against the Boston Celtics. The NBA recently opened an investigation after Murray made contact with official Gediminas Petraitis as he was walking off the court last game. The league has decided to suspend Murray for Game 5, which could be their […]

Paul George Progressing Well

Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George (knee) is expected to miss the entire first-round series against the Phoenix Suns. The good news is, George is progressing well in recently workouts. He reportedly is moving better than he did last week, but it's unlikely that he suits up in this series. The Clippers haven't given an […]

De'Aaron Fox Doubtful For Game 5

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (finger) is considered doubtful for Wednesday's Game 5 matchup against the Golden State Warriors. The 25-year-old has suffered a fracture in his left index finger. This is a huge blow to the Kings who are currently tied at 2-2 in their playoff series with Golden State. Davion Mitchell is expected […]

George Springer To Sit Out On Monday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Chicago White Sox. This appears to be a routine rest day for Springer on Monday. He probably needs it after starting in 16 straight games. It'll be Cavan Biggio drawing a start in right field and batting […]

Yordan Alvarez Sitting Out On Monday

Houston Astros outfielder Yordan Alvarez (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. This appears to be nothing more than a routine rest day for the left-handed slugger. Alvarez is well deserving of a day off after what he has done at the plate early in the season. […]

Ryan McMahon Scratched On Monday

Colorado Rockies third baseman Ryan McMahon (illness) has been scratched from the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Cleveland Guardians. It appears the left-handed slugger is dealing with a non-COVID related illness. His absence will mean that Mike Moustakas takes over third base and bats fifth against right-hander Cal Quantrill. Fantasy managers should adjust […]

Brusdar Graterol Placed On Paternity List

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Brusdar Graterol has been placed on the paternity list on Monday. He'll join teammates Evan Phillips and Max Muncy who are also on the paternity list right now. At this point, it's probably a toss-up on who is going to close out games for the Dodgers with Graterol and Phillips […]

Max Muncy Placed On Paternity List

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Max Muncy has been placed on the paternity list on Monday. The left-handed slugger is going to be away from the team for a few days. Fantasy managers should adjust their lineups accordingly with the red-hot Muncy out of town. He's slashing .254/.411/.718 with 11 homers, 21 RBI in 22 games […]

Javier Baez Returning On Monday

Detroit Tigers shortstop Javier Baez (finger) is returning to the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. Baez missed Sunday's game after he jammed his finger while stealing a base on Saturday. It appears that this was only a minor issue as he's back in the lineup here. Possibly, the day off helped […]

Michael Busch Recalled From Minors

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Michael Busch is getting called up to the big league roster. The 25-year-old is set to join the Dodgers for their series opener against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday. The team is in need of another bat with Max Muncy gone for a few days on the paternity leave list. Busch […]

Kawhi Leonard Misses Monday's Practice

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) was unable to participate in practice on Monday. That is not a good sign for Leonard's status for the upcoming Game 5 matchup versus the Phoenix Suns. The Clippers are already without Paul George and continue to struggle with both their superstars injured. Russell Westbrook has stepped up, […]

Joel Embiid Hopeful For Next Series

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) is hopeful that he can get back in the lineup for the team's next series. The superstar center avoided a significant injury, but is still dealing with a knee sprain. That being said, the Sixers view the issue as a one week injury, but we'll see how Embiid progresses. […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Expected To Play Monday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (back) is expected to return to the court for Monday's Game 4 against the Miami Heat. The Bucks are in a tough spot, but it appears Antetokounmpo is on the verge of returning. The superstar forward has been banged up throughout the series, but the Bucks need this help to […]

Jordyn Brooks Hasn't Ruled Out Week 1 Return

Seattle Seahawks linebacker Jordyn Brooks (knee) hasn't ruled out a return for Week 1. Brooks is only three months removed from ACL surgery after suffering the injury in Week 17. It seems unlikely that Brooks would be able to return that quickly, but it sounds like he is ahead of schedule. It's hard to imagine […]

Jamal Adams Could Be Ready For Preseason

Seattle Seahawks defensive back Jamal Adams (quad) continues to work his way back from an injury that sidelined him basically all last season. The good new is, Adams is reportedly doing well in his recovery. Head coach Pete Carroll said Adams has a chance to be ready by the preseason. The addition of Julian Love […]

Justin Verlander Throws Successful Simulated Game

New York Mets starting pitcher Justin Verlander (shoulder) threw 43 pitches over three innings during a simulated game on Sunday. It sounds like the 40-year-old is doing well in his recovery process. The next step is for Verlander to make a rehab start on Friday. After that, Verlander is expected to be cleared to return […]

Yu Darvish Removed Early During Sunday's Game

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Yu Darvish (back) was unable to finish his start against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday. The right-hander was removed after throwing a pitch during the sixth inning. It sounds like Darvish is dealing with a lower back injury. The organization hasn't given many details on the situation, but there should […]

Masataka Yoshida Blasts Two Homers

Boston Red Sox outfielder Masataka Yoshida showed off his power during Sunday's game against the Texas Rangers. The 29-year-old has been hitting the ball on the ground a ton early in the season, but showed what he can do when he lifts the ball in the air. Yoshida hit a solo shot and a grand […]

Jacob deGrom Strikes Out 11 In Win

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Jacob deGrom (wrist) was forced to exit early during his last start, but felt good enough to pitch on Sunday. The superstar right-hander looked as sharp as ever during Sunday's 5-2 win over the Oakland Athletics. The A's offense had no answers for deGrom as they struck out 11 times over […]

Carlos Estevez Collects Third Save

Los Angeles Angels relief pitcher Carlos Estevez was called upon to protect a one-run lead versus the Kansas City Royals on Sunday. The right-hander made it look easy in this one as he retired all three batters he faced. Estevez only needed six pitches to close out this contest. He earned his third save of […]

Kris Bryant Exits Early On Saturday

Colorado Rockies third baseman Kris Bryant has been taken out early during Saturday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. He didn't appear to suffer an injury, so it's uncertain why the team decided to take him out of the game. The Rockies elected to have Elehuris Montero bat for Bryant in the third inning. Possibly, Bryant […]

Marcell Ozuna Remains In The Lineup

Atlanta Braves outfielder Marcell Ozuna has been off to a cold start to begin the season. Through 13 games, Ozuna is hitting .083 with two home runs and two RBI. The 32-year-old remains under contract through the 2024 season. That being said, the Braves will continue to run him out there and hope he turns […]

Joc Pederson Likely Activated On Sunday

San Francisco Giants outfielder Joc Pederson (wrist) is likely to be activated ahead of Sunday's matchup against the New York Mets. The left-handed slugger landed on the injured list last week due to right wrist inflammation. The good news is, Pederson resumed baseball activities earlier this week. He appears to be on track to get […]

Tim Anderson Takes Batting Practice

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson (knee) was able to take batting practice ahead of Saturday's contest against the Tampa Bay Rays. Anderson has been sidelined since early April due to a left knee sprain. The organization said Anderson is set to miss two-to-four weeks from the injury. It appears that he is progressing well […]

Christian Arroyo Returning On Saturday

Boston Red Sox second baseman Christian Arroyo (hamstring) is back in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. He'll return to the lineup after missing each of the last four games due to a lingering hamstring issue. Arroyo was struggling at the bat before the injury, so maybe some time off has […]

Lance Lynn Has Start Pushed Back

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Lance Lynn will have his upcoming start pushed back a day. The right-hander was supposed to take the mound on Sunday, but will now make the start against the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday. Now, Lucas Giolito will take the mound for Sunday's matchup versus the Tampa Bay Rays. That […]

Logan O'Hoppe Placed On Injured List

Los Angeles Angels catcher Logan O'Hoppe (shoulder) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. He left early during Thursday's game after experiencing pain in his shoulder from swinging the bat. The organization hasn't given many details on the situation, it's unknown how long O'Hoppe will be sidelined. It's a shame because the 23-year-old was […]

Jacob deGrom On Track To Pitch On Sunday

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Jacob deGrom (wrist) remains on track to make his next scheduled start on Sunday versus the Oakland Athletics. The right-hander was pulled from Monday's start due to soreness in his wrist. He'll throw a bullpen session on Friday, and if all goes well, he'll take the ball against the A's on […]

Cal Raleigh Resting On Friday

Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. This is the second game in a row that Raleigh has missed, but it doesn't sound like he's dealing with an injury. It appears the Mariners are using basically a platoon situation between their two catchers. […]

Brendan Donovan Returning On Friday

St. Louis Cardinals infielder Brendan Donovan (shin) is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Seattle Mariners. He hasn't started in a game since suffering an infected shin from a slide during Monday's game. It appears Donovan is fine now and this injury shouldn't impact his performance. He'll serve as the leadoff […]
