Willson Contreras Avoids Serious Injury

Chicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras (ankle) was forced to exit early during Thursday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. He was hit by a pitch during the eighth inning and came out of the contest as a precaution. The X-rays on his ankle came back negative, so Contreras isn't expected to need a trip to […]

Nolan Gorman To Return On Friday

St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Nolan Gorman (back) will return to the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Chicago Cubs. He has missed each of the last three games due to back stiffness. However, the young infielder is ready to give it a go during Friday's contest. He'll serve as the designated hitter and […]

Matthew Liberatore Optioned To Minors

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Matthew Liberatore has been optioned to Triple-A Memphis on Friday. The team's No. 3 prospect will head back to the minors after a few rough outings. The 22-year-old should get more chances to make an impact on the Cardinals roster later in the season. In a corresponding move, right-hander Johan […]

Max Kepler, Emilio Pagan Land On Restricted List

Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler and relief pitcher Emilio Pagan have been placed on the restricted list. The Twins have a series in Toronto, so they will presumably be without these players because they're unvaccinated. Kepler just returned to action last week due to a quad issue, so fantasy managers will be without him again […]

Phillies Fire Joe Girardi

Philadelphia Phillies manager Joe Girardi has been let go by the organization on Friday. The team has decided to move on from Girardi after two-and-a-half seasons. The Phillies have gone 132-141 under Girardi. Obviously not great, but a 22-29 start to the 2022 season was the end of it. Bench coach Rob Thompson will take […]

Stephen Curry Drops 34 Points In Loss

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry did everything he could during Thursday's Game 1 against the Boston Celtics. The All-Star guard came out on fire and scored 21 of his team's first 32 points. Sadly, Curry was quiet when it mattered the most in the fourth quarter. Despite that, he finished with 34 points, five […]

Jaylen Brown Steps Up On Thursday

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown was a problem for the Golden State Warriors all night long during Thursday's Game 1 contest. The young guard finished with 24 points on 10-of-23 shooting with seven rebounds and five assists in the victory. Fellow teammate Jayson Tatum struggled heavily, but luckily Brown was able to pick up the […]

Jayson Tatum Struggles In Game 1 Victory

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum struggled to make anything during Thursday's Game 1 against the Golden State Warriors. It was his first NBA Finals appearance and Tatum was unable to step up on the big stage. He finished with 12 points on 3-of-17 shooting, but luckily his teammates picked up the slack. The Celtics were […]

Al Horford Comes Through In Game 1

Boston Celtics forward Al Horford came ready to play during Thursday's Game 1 against the Golden State Warriors. The veteran big man recorded 26 points, six rebounds, and three assists through 33 minutes of action. Horford was making key buckets down the stretch, which was a significant factor in the Celtics victory. This is a […]

Jay Scrubb Cleared For Basketball Activities

Los Angeles Clippers guard Jay Scrubb (foot) has been cleared to resume basketball activities. The young guard appeared in 18 games before undergoing season-ending surgery in February. The assumption is that Scrubb will be ready in time for the summer league. However, he'll likely be buried on the Clippers depth chart going forward. Fantasy managers […]

Gary Payton II Expected To Play In Game 1

Golden State Warriors guard Gary Payton II (elbow) is expected to be available for Thursday's Game 1 against the Boston Celtics. This is quite surprising considering Payton suffered a fractured elbow on May 3. It's unclear how many minutes Payton will play, but having him back on the court would be a plus for Golden […]

Andre Iguodala Might Retire

Golden State Warriors forward Andre Iguodala (neck) carries a questionable tag heading into Thursday's Game 1 against the Boston Celtics. However, the veteran forward revealed he has made a final decision about his future. Although, Iguodala is waiting until after the series to reveal whether or not he plans to retire. He hasn't played since […]

Laviska Shenault Jr. Could Work As Returner

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. could help the team as a returner, according to head coach Doug Pederson. They've added Christian Kirk and Zay Jones, so Shenault could see less action as a wideout this upcoming season. That being said, Shenault is a candidate to see increased time as a returner in Jacksonville. […]

Nelson Agholor Working As Fourth Receiver

New England Patriots wide receiver Nelson Agholor is reportedly working as the fourth option in OTAs. The former first round pick is coming off a forgettable season during his first year in New England. Agholor finished with 37 receptions, 473 receiving yards, and three touchdowns in 15 games. It's not surprising to see that Agholor […]

Albert Wilson Joins Vikings

The Minnesota Vikings have signed free-agent wide receiver Albert Wilson to a one-year contract. He spent each of the last three seasons with the Miami Dolphins. In 2021, Wilson finished with 25 receptions, 213 receiving yards, and zero touchdowns through 14 games. This signing doesn't jump off the page, but is a solid depth move […]

Jaylen Samuels Released By Cardinals

Arizona Cardinals running back Jaylen Samuels has been released by the organization. The 25-year-old was drafted in the fifth round by the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2018. Samuels saw 55-plus carries during his first two seasons in Pittsburgh. Since then, Samuels has a total of 14 carries over the last two years. Most recently, Samuels made […]

Lucas Krull Looks Impressive

New Orleans Saints tight end Lucas Krull has reportedly been impressive during recent OTAs. He signed with the Saints in late April after going undrafted. Krull hauled in 38 receptions, 451 receiving yards, and six touchdowns last season at Pittsburgh. There is no clear cut No. 1 tight end on this roster, so Krull could […]

Aaron Donald Still Considering Retirement

Los Angeles Rams defensive end Aaron Donald mentioned that he is at peace with retirement after recent contract discussions. A Super Bowl victory has made Donald rethink his retirement. Donald is a Super Bowl champion and a no doubt Hall of Fame player. There is not much left for Donald to accomplish during his career. […]

Kyle Tucker Avoids Serious Injury

Houston Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker (foot) will be held out of Monday's game against the Oakland Athletics. He hasn't played in a game since suffering a left foot injury during Saturday's game. Luckily, manager Dusty Baker mentioned that the MRI has revealed no structural damage. That means, Tucker should be considered day-to-day, so he could […]

Brian Anderson To Miss Third Straight Game

Miami Marlins third baseman Brian Anderson (back) remains out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Colorado Rockies. This marks his third game in a row that Anderson has missed due to back spasms. It's unclear how long Anderson is going to be sidelined, but hopefully he'll avoid a trip to the injured […]

Avisail Garcia Returns On Monday

Miami Marlins outfielder Avisail Garcia will return to the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Colorado Rockies. He was activated from the COVID-19 list on Sunday, but didn't make an appearance in that contest. He'll bat sixth and play right field versus right-hander Ryan Feltner on Monday. Fantasy managers should double check in their […]

Cedric Mullins Out On Monday

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Cedric Mullins (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Boston Red Sox. This appears to be a routine day off for Mullins after starting 10 straight games. Ryan McKenna will cover center field and bat eighth versus lefty Rich Hill on Monday. Fantasy managers should expect Mullins […]

Mickey Moniak Activated From Injured List

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Mickey Moniak (hand) has been activated from the 10-day injured list. He missed the first two months of the season due to a fractured right hand. The 24-year-old should provide solid depth to the Phillies outfield. He'll bat seventh and play left field versus righty Logan Webb on Monday. Fantasy managers should […]

Anthony DeSclafani To Throw On Monday

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Anthony DeSclafani (ankle) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Monday. He has been sidelined since late April due to right ankle inflammation. The 32-year-old only made three starts for the Giants before landing on the injured list. The organization is hopeful to get DeSclafani back in late June […]

Brandon Belt Resumes Hitting

San Francisco Giants first baseman Brandon Belt (knee) has resumed hitting on Monday. He is recovering from right knee inflammation, but is eligible to return whenever he feels confident. It doesn't sound like Belt is going to miss much more time. Fantasy managers should expect Belt back in the lineup around early June. Until then, […]

Jaylen Brown Looks Excellent In Victory

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown helped set the tone early during Sunday's Game 7 against the Miami Heat. He finished 8-for-15 from the floor with 26 points, six rebounds, and six assists in the victory. Brown was nearly perfect at the free throw line and was a big factor as to why the Celtics are […]

Jayson Tatum Plays Well In Game 7

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum came ready to play during Sunday's Game 7 against the Miami Heat. He was part of that 2018 roster that blew a 3-2 lead to the Cleveland Cavaliers. However, Tatum wasn't going to let that happen again as he helped guide his team to victory. He finished with 26 points, […]

Tyler Herro Plays Only Seven Minutes In Game 7

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (groin) was unable to bring much to the table during Sunday's Game 7 against the Boston Celtics. He tried to power through the groin injury, but only lasted seven minutes. Herro missed both his attempts and his absence clearly hurt his team in this one. The Heat took a four-point […]

Bam Adebayo Posts Double-Double

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo turned it around after a rough outing in Game 6. Adebayo finished with 25 points and 11 rebounds across 46 minutes during Sunday's Game 7 against the Boston Celtics. He finished as the second-highest scorer on the team behind Jimmy Butler. Sadly, it wasn't enough as the Heat dropped this […]

Jimmy Butler Finishes With 35 Points In Game 7

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler did everything he could during Sunday's Game 7 against the Boston Celtics. The All-Star forward knocked down 13-of-24 field goal attempts for 35 points, nine rebounds, and one assist in the loss. Butler delivered, but sadly the rest of his team couldn't step up. That will be the end of […]
