The 34-year-old suffered an unknown injury while he was running to first base. Thairo Estrada took over as a pinch runner, while Belt exited with the trainer. This could very well be a knee […]

Brett Martin Secures Second Save

Texas Rangers relief pitcher Brett Martin was given the ball in the ninth inning for the second day in a row. Manager Chris Woodward pulled Joe Barlow from the closer role for the team being. Now, it appears Martin is going to get a chance to earn the job. The left-hander secured his second save […]

Wander Franco To Be Placed On Injured List

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Wander Franco (wrist) will be placed on the injured list, according to manager Kevin Cash. The 21-year-old was pulled out of the game on Saturday after feeling discomfort in his wrist during his first at-bat. The expectation is that this is a hamate injury, which means he could be out until […]

Kevin Kiermaier Removed Early On Saturday

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier (hip) was removed early during Saturday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. This is a shame because Kiermaier just got off the injured list. Now, it sounds like the veteran outfielder is headed right back on the shelf. Brett Phillips came into the game on Saturday, so he could see […]

Nolan Jones Blasts First Career Homer

Cleveland Guardians third baseman Nolan Jones was called up on Friday and is already making a big impact. On Saturday, Jones blasted a 457-foot home run off Jackson Kowar in the fourth inning. His homer helped extend the lead to 11-0 over the Kansas City Royals. Jones finished the game 2-for-4 and is likely to […]

Jacob deGrom To Make Rehab Start Wednesday Or Thursday

New York Mets starting pitcher Jacob deGrom (shoulder) will make his next rehab start on Wednesday or Thursday for Triple-A Syracuse.

He's working his way back from a stress reaction […]

Dario Saric Is Progressing Well

Phoenix Suns forward Dario Saric (knee) is reportedly eyeing a return to the court during training camp. The 28-year-old forward is making solid progress following ACL surgery that forced him to miss all of the 2021 season. Prior to the injury, Saric played a consistent role off the bench for the Suns. The hope is […]

Usman Garuba To Miss Summer League

Houston Rockets forward Usman Garuba (ankle) will miss the rest of the summer league. The young forward suffered a sprained right ankle, which will force him to the sideline. The 21-year-old played 10 minutes per game across 24 contests last season. It's unlikely that his minutes are going to rise heading into next season. The […]

James Wiseman To Make Summer League Debut

Golden State Warriors center James Wiseman (knee) will make his summer league debut on Saturday. The former No. 2 pick has not played since his rookie season in 2020. Wiseman has worked hard to get back on the court following knee surgery. The expectation is that the Warriors are going to be extremely cautious with […]

Jaden Ivey Forced To Exit Early

Detroit Pistons guard Jaden Ivey (ankle) was forced to exit early during Saturday's summer league matchup. Ivey had 11 points and two assists during the first five minutes of this game. Sadly, Ivey rolled his ankle which knocked him out of this contest. The No. 5 overall pick has looked sharp, so hopefully this doesn't […]

Paolo Banchero Walking With A Limp

Orlando Magic forward Paolo Banchero (ankle) was seen walking with a noticeable limp after Saturday's contest against the Sacramento Kings. The top overall pick asked to see a trainer following his postgame interview. Luckily, the Magic don't play again until Monday, but it wouldn't be surprising to see the Magic be extremely cautious with Banchero. […]

Tarik Skubal Pitches Well On Friday

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Tarik Skubal had few issues against the Chicago White Sox on Friday. The young lefty went six innings, six hits allowed, and seven strikeouts during the victory. He struggled early, allowing a two-run home run to Luis Robert in the opening frame. After that, Skubal settled down and shut down this […]

Reid Detmers Looks Impressive On Friday

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Reid Detmers was recalled to take the mound against the Baltimore Orioles on Friday. The left-hander went six scoreless innings, two hits allowed, and seven strikeouts in the loss. This was his first start since June 24, so hopefully there is more to come from Detmers. He has done enough […]

Rafael Devers Won't Play On Saturday

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers (back) was removed early during Friday's game against the New York Yankees. The young slugger exited the game after hitting the railing while going after a foul ball. Manager Alex Cora mentioned that Devers won't suit up for Saturday's contest. It sounds like Devers is day-to-day, but the […]

Jacob deGrom Looks Sharp In Rehab Start

New York Mets starting pitcher Jacob deGrom (shoulder) pitched well during his second rehab start on Friday. The All-Star pitcher went three innings, three hits allowed, and struck out six batters. The 34-year-old hit 100-plus on the radar gun and has looked sharp thus far. Although, deGrom only threw 36 pitches, so he still has […]

Chris Sale To Make Season Debut On Tuesday

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Chris Sale (ribs) is set to make his season debut on Tuesday, according to manager Alex Cora. The left-hander struggled during his last rehab outing, but apparently feels good enough to return. The Red Sox are likely to have Sale on a pitch count during his first outing. The Tampa […]

Bobby Witt Jr. Returning On Friday

Kansas City Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. (hand) is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Cleveland Guardians. The young infielder missed each of the last two games due to a hand contusion. However, Witt feels better and will play shortstop and bat third versus right-hander Aaron Civale on Friday. The 23-year-old […]

Joey Votto Remains Absent On Friday

Cincinnati Reds first baseman Joey Votto (back) remains out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. The lefty slugger sat out both games of the doubleheader on Thursday. This marks the fifth game in a row that Votto has missed due to lingering back tightness. Possibly, the Reds decide to […]

Adley Rutschman To Rest On Friday

Baltimore Orioles catcher Adley Rutschman (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. The 24-year-old will get a much-needed day off after starting five straight games. Rutschman is hitting .214/.286/.400 with four homers through 108 plate appearances this season. Robinson Chirinos will cover behind the plate and bat […]

Connor Seabold To Make The Start On Friday

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Connor Seabold has been recalled to take the mound against the New York Yankees on Friday. He'll take the spot of Michael Wacha (shoulder) who has been placed on the 15-day injured list. The 26-year-old has been struggling during his short stints with the Red Sox this season. It's highly […]

Jarren Duran To Sit Out On Friday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the New York Yankees. This doesn't come as much of a surprise considering Duran went 0-for-4 with four strikeouts on Thursday. Rob Refsnyder will bat leadoff and play center field versus lefty Nestor Cortes. Fantasy managers should be […]

Carlos Correa To Play On Friday

Minnesota Twins shortstop Carlos Correa (leg) is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Texas Rangers. Correa appears ready to play after sitting out each of the last two days. This doesn't sound like a serious injury, so fantasy managers shouldn't have anything to worry about. The 27-year-old is hitting .286/.360/.453 with […]

Aaron Judge Returning On Friday

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (lower body) is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Boston Red Sox. He sat out of Thursday's contest due to lower body soreness, but is back on Friday. He'll serve as the designated hitter and bat second versus right-hander Connor Seabold. The 30-year-old slugger is […]

James Harden To Take Significant Paycut

Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden is taking a $15 million paycut for the 2022-2023 season. The superstar guard opted out of his $47 million player option in order to take less money. He wants the Sixers organization to have more cap space in order to bring in more talent to the roster. It appears the […]

Warriors Won't Rush To Extend Andrew Wiggins, Jordan Poole

Golden State Warriors guards Andrew Wiggins and Jordan Poole are unlikely to see extensions anytime soon. The organization is reportedly in no rush to sign either player and haven't discussed extensions with them this summer. Luckily for the Warriors, both players are signed through next season. After that, the Warriors could be in some serious […]

D.J. Wilson Signs Two-Year Deal

Free-agent forward D.J. Wilson has reportedly agreed to a two-year deal with the Toronto Raptors. He played a handful of 10-day contracts with the Raptors last season. Wilson had a couple of solid performances, so he is well worth the veteran minimum. The 26-year-old spent a majority of his career coming off the bench with […]

Frank Kaminsky Signs With Hawks

Free-agent center Frank Kaminsky has signed a one-year deal with the Atlanta Hawks. The 29-year-old only played nine games with the Phoenix Suns last season. Sadly, a knee fracture forced Kaminsky to miss a majority of the season. The former No. 9 overall pick is likely to take over the role of Gorgui Dieng off […]

Sam Long Named Starter For Friday

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Sam Long will draw the start for Friday's game against the San Diego Padres. The left-hander will get the starting assignment for what looks to be a bullpen game for the Giants. Long is posting a stellar 1.78 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 19/8 K/BB ratio across 30 1/3 innings this […]

Brandon Lowe Removed During Rehab Game

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Brandon Lowe (head, back) was removed during Thursday's rehab game with Triple-A Durham.

The 28-year-old is working his way back […]
