Boston Red Sox outfielder Roman Anthony (wrist) is scheduled to begin swinging the bat by hitting flips on Monday, according to Jen McCaffrey.

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Jacob Misiorowski (quad) is listed as the probable starter for Tuesday's game against the Chicago Cubs.

With that being said, Giolito shouldn't […]

Luke Raley is Experiencing Power Surge

Seattle Mariners first baseman/outfielder Luke Raley has put together a strong stretch at the plate lately. It has been hit-and-miss with Raley this season, but he's in the middle of a hot streak right now. Over the last two weeks, Raley is 9-for-28 at the plate with five home runs, 14 RBI, and three walks. […]

Matt Gage Earns First Save, Worth Stashing in Closer Committee?

San Francisco Giants relief pitcher Matt Gage was called upon to hold a two-run lead against the Athletics on Saturday.

San Francisco Giants relief pitcher Caleb Kilian was earning more looks as a closer, but he could be falling back into a setup role.

Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman Ryan O'Hearn (quad) was forced to make an early exit from Saturday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. O'Hearn exited in the fourth inning of this game due to right quad discomfort. Before exiting, O'Hearn was hitless in his lone plate appearance. Fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised if he sits out of […]

Heliot Ramos is Out with Quad Injury

San Francisco Giants outfielder Heliot Ramos (quad) is out of the starting lineup against the Athletics on Saturday. This doesn't come as a surprise after Ramos was forced to exit early during Friday's game due to right quad tightness.

New York Mets starting pitcher Clay Holmes (leg) has officially been placed on the 15-day Injured List on Saturday.

Taj Bradley Throws Successful Bullpen Session

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Taj Bradley (pectoral) threw a successful 20-pitch bullpen session on Friday.

Brandon Woodruff Feels Good After Bullpen Session

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) reportedly felt good after throwing a 25-pitch bullpen session on Thursday. Assuming nothing changes in the next few days, Woodruff will throw another bullpen session on Monday. Afterwards, he'll likely throw a simulated game before possibly rejoining the Brewers rotation. It's unclear if he'll require a minor league […]

Matthew Boyd is Making Solid Progress

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Matthew Boyd (knee) is reportedly feeling good physically and plans to throw off the mound on Saturday.

The recovery timetable is about six […]

Blake Snell Heads to 15-Day Injured List

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Blake Snell (elbow) was placed on the 15-day Injured List on Friday. Ugh, this sucks for fantasy managers who just got Snell back.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher River Ryan (hamstring) is making a rehab start with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday.

Kevin Huerter is Available for Game 6

Detroit Pistons guard Kevin Huerter (adductor) is available to play for Friday's Game 6 against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Huerter made his return to the court after a seven-game absence on Wednesday. He only logged in three minutes of playing time during Wednesday's overtime defeat. It's unlikely that Huerter sees much of an increase in playing […]

Detroit Pistons guard Duncan Robinson (back) is available to play ahead of Friday's Game 6 against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Robinson is back in the mix after being forced to miss Wednesday's Game 5 defeat. Daniss Jenkins moved into the starting five with Robinson unable to go in the last game.

Detroit Pistons guard Caris LeVert (heel) is available to play ahead of Friday's Game 6 against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

OG Anunoby Practices in Full on Friday

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (hamstring) was a full participant during Friday's practice session. This is an encouraging sign after Anunoby missed the final two games of the previous series against the Philadelphia 76ers.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Terrence Shannon Jr. (head) is a late addition to the injury report ahead of Friday's Game 6 against the San Antonio Spurs.

Seiya Suzuki Cooling Off After Hot Stretch

Chicago Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki was on an unbelievable run at the plate, but he has cooled off lately.

Chase DeLauter is Still Looking for Power

Cleveland Guardians outfielder Chase DeLauter has been posting decent results with the bat, but continues searching for power. Over the last month, DeLauter has gone 27-for-93 at the plate with one home run, 14 RBI, and 13 walks. His ability to draw walks is encouraging, but the lack of power has certainly been frustrating for […]

Ryne Nelson is Gaining Traction After Another Strong Outing

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Ryne Nelson is becoming an intriguing fantasy pickup after posting back-to-back strong outings. On May 8, Nelson tossed 6.2 innings, allowing one earned run while striking out seven batters in a no-decision against the New York Mets. The right-hander continued that success during Wednesday's outing against the Texas Rangers. Nelson threw […]
