The Marlins have high hopes for Sanchez and he appears to have a bright future. However, […]

Jazz Chisholm Drops In Batting Order

Miami Marlins shortstop Jazz Chisholm has dropped into the sixth spot in the batting order for Saturday's game against the Atlanta Braves. He hasn't been exactly a lethal weapon at the top of the order lately. Chisholm is slashing .251/.315/.432 with 10 homers and 10 steals across 268 plate appearances. There is still plenty of […]

Eli White Out Of The Lineup Saturday

Texas Rangers outfielder Eli White (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Oakland Athletics. This appears to be a routine rest day for White after going 1-for-3 during Friday's contest. Jason Martin will move into the outfield for this game versus righty James Kaprielian. Neither player brings enough upside with […]

Zac Gallen Scheduled To Throw On Saturday

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Zac Gallen (hamstring) is scheduled to throw another bullpen session on Saturday. He threw a 30-pitch bullpen session on Wednesday and is progressing well. The hope is that Gallen can return to the starting rotation shortly after the All-Star break. Gallen continues to find himself on the injured list, but finally […]

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Ryan Borucki (forearm, elbow) is set to make another rehab appearance, according to manager Charlie Montoyo.

Matt Andriese Heads To Injured List On Saturday

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Matt Andriese (hamstring) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. This is frustrating news considering Andriese has been an important piece to the Red Sox bullpen.

Marwin Gonzalez Remains Out On Saturday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Marwin Gonzalez (hamstring) remains out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies.

Christian Arroyo played for Gonzalez […]

Miguel Cabrera Gets Rest Day On Saturday

Detroit Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera (rest) won't be in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Minnesota Twins. He'll get a day off to rest after playing first base for the first time since June 22 on Friday. The veteran slugger will get a day off here, so Jonathan Schoop will slide into […]

Cavan Biggio Gets The Day Off Saturday

Toronto Blue Jays second baseman Cavan Biggio (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. Biggio has been hitting fairly well since returning from the injured list. This move seems to be for rest purposes and the fact the Jays are facing left-handed pitcher Ryan Yarbrough. Santiago Espinal […]

Nomar Mazara Scratched On Saturday

Detroit Tigers outfielder Nomar Mazara (illness) has been scratched from Saturday's game against the Minnesota Twins. He is reportedly dealing with a non-COVID related illness and will sit this one out. Niko Goodrum will move into the outfield, while Zack Short plays shortstop against righty Bailey Ober. Neither player is a reliable streaming option despite […]

Matthew Boyd Unlikely To Return Before August

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Matthew Boyd (arm) is unlikely going to return to the roster before August. He has resumed his throwing program, but Detroit has not given a timetable for his return. Boyd has been sidelined since mid-June due to left arm discomfort. This is a shame considering he was pitching well before the […]

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Jordan Lyles wasn't missing too many bats, but was able to limit the damage versus the Oakland Athletics on Friday.

Isaiah Stewart Suffers Injury During Scrimmage

Detroit Pistons center Isaiah Stewart (ankle) suffered an ankle injury during a scrimmage with the USA Select Team on Thursday. This sounds like a minor issue, but should conclude his stint at the mini-camp. The young big man showed impressive performances during the second half of the season. Sadly, Mason Plumlee is signed through 2023, […]

Juan Hernangomez Likely To Miss Beginning Of The Season

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Juan Hernangomez (shoulder) suffered an injury while training with the Spanish national team on Thursday. At first glance, the Wolves thought it was a minor injury, but sadly they were wrong. It was announced that Hernangomez suffered a grade 4/5 left shoulder dislocation. An injury that often times requires surgery that sidelines […]

Torrey Craig Suffers Knee Injury In Game 2

Phoenix Suns forward Torrey Craig (knee) suffered an injury and was unable to return during Thursday's Game 2 against the Milwaukee Bucks. Craig took a charge during the third quarter and appears to have suffered a right knee contusion. He finished the game with six points in eight minutes. The team is calling it a […]

Brooklyn Nets guard Spencer Dinwiddie could be headed to a new organization over the offseason. The Dallas Mavericks are reportedly interested in signing Dinwiddie in free agency.

Nicolo Melli Leaving NBA For Italy

Dallas Mavericks forward Nicolo Melli is leaving the NBA and signing a three-year deal with Olimpia Milano in Italy. This is not shocking considering the two sides were close to a deal earlier in the week. Melli played for both the New Orleans Pelicans and Dallas Mavericks during the 2020-2021 season. He averaged 3.0 points, […]

Dansby Swanson Has Three-Hit Game Versus Pirates

Atlanta Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson is beginning to heat up at the plate as the All-Star break quickly approaches. On Wednesday, Swanson went 3-for-5 with one double, one RBI, and one walk in the blowout victory. His slash line doesn't show it, but Swanson has been solid at the plate over the last few weeks. […]

Austin Riley Collects Two Hits In Win

Atlanta Braves outfielder Austin Riley looked sharp at the plate during Wednesday's win over the Pittsburgh Pirates. He went 2-for-4 with two RBI and two walks in the blowout victory.

Brooks Raley To IL, Ralph Garza Jr. Recalled

Houston Astros relief pitcher Brooks Raley has been placed on the injured list due to health and safety protocols. The lefty reliever has not pitched in four days since recording his second save of the season. He has a 5.93 ERA in 30 1/3 innings this season, so he won't be a fantasy asset even […]

Jordan Holloway Optioned To Minors

Miami Marlins pitcher Jordan Holloway has been optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday. It's not a shocking move considering he did throw over four innings during Wednesday's contest. Holloway was excellent, tossing 4 1/3 scoreless innings and struck out six batters. Holloway has struggled as a starter, but appears to be a legit option out […]

David Price Could Be Stretched Out On Friday

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher David Price has not been used out of the bullpen for long outings this season. In fact, his longest outing of the year was 2 2/3 innings, which is obviously not what fantasy managers want to see. The hope is that Price will be able to pitch three innings versus the […]

Eloy Jimenez To Begin Rehab Assignment On Friday

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez (pectoral) will begin a rehab assignment with High-A Winston Salem on Friday. He is certainly going to need some time in the minors after missing three months due to a pectoral tear. The hope is that Jimenez is able to join the White Sox by the end of the […]

Ronald Acuna Jr. Smacks Homer In Blowout Victory

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. has been overshadowed due to how well some of the young stars in the game are playing right now. However, Acuna should not be overlooked and continues to show his excellence. He went 3-for-5 with a home run, one RBI, and one walk in the win over the Pittsburgh […]

Drew Smyly Escapes Trouble In Victory

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Drew Smyly was not sharp on Wednesday but pitched well enough to help get the win for his team. He tossed five innings, allowing nine hits, three earned runs, three walks and four strikeouts. Smyly was able to limit the damage, but this was obviously a below-average outing for him. He'll […]
