Al-Farouq Aminu Plans To Stay In Chicago

Chicago Bulls forward Al-Farouq Aminu is expected to exercise his $10.2 million player option for next season. This is a no-brainer for Aminu since he won't get anywhere near that salary in free agency. He was acquired by Chicago from the Orlando Magic in the trade that sent Nikola Vucevic to the Bulls. Aminu averaged […]

De'Andre Hunter Unlikely To Be Fully Cleared For Game 1

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (knee) is unlikely to be fully cleared for Sunday's Game 1 contest, according to head coach Nate McMillan.

Indiana Pacers guard Caris LeVert will not suit up for Tuesday's play-in game against the Charlotte Hornets.

Indiana Pacers forward Domantas Sabonis (quad) is available for Tuesday's play-in game versus the Charlotte Hornets.

Malcolm Brogdon, Aaron Holiday, Edmond Sumner Available

Indiana Pacers guards Malcolm Brogdon (hamstring), Aaron Holiday (toe), and Edmond Sumner (knee) will be available for Tuesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. It sounds like the Pacers will get some reinforcements for the play-in game. Brogdon is likely going to be eased back into rotation, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect more than 20 minutes […]

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Anthony Santander (ankle) is on track to return for Friday's game versus the Washington Nationals. He recently completed a rehab assignment in Double-A.

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Marco Gonzales (forearm) was able to throw 15 pitches on Monday. It doesn't sound like a lot, but Gonzales is making progress.

Minnesota Twins catcher Mitch Garver (knee) was lifted early during Monday's game against the Chicago White Sox. He fouled a ball off his right knee and initially stayed in the game.

Danny Duffy Heads To Injured List

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Danny Duffy (elbow) has been placed on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to May 14. This came basically out of nowhere, but Duffy was slumping after two straight below average starts.

Sheldon Neuse will cover left field and […]

David Price Returns On Monday

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher David Price (hamstring) has been activated off the 10-day injured list on Monday. He missed three weeks of action after suffering a Grade-2 hamstring strain. It appears the Dodgers plan to continue pitching Price out of the bullpen right now. That means, his fantasy value will be minimal, but it wouldn't […]

Rougned Odor Likely To Return On Tuesday

New York Yankees second baseman Rougned Odor (knee) is hopeful to be activated off the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. He injured his knee earlier this month during a collision at home plate.

Albert Pujols Making Dodgers Debut Monday

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Albert Pujols will make his team debut against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday. The veteran slugger recently signed a one-year deal with Los Angeles.

Detroit Tigers catcher Wilson Ramos (back) has been activated off the 10-day injured list. The veteran catcher missed the minimum 10 days while dealing with a minor back issue.

San Francisco Giants relief pitcher Reyes Moronta (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day injured list on Monday. The organization did that in order to make a roster spot for their new outfielder.

Braves manager Brian Snitker hinted that the young righty likely won't take the mound for the Braves this year.

Stephen Strasburg Will Throw Bullpen Session On Tuesday

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Stephen Strasburg (shoulder) is expected to rejoin the team and throw a 50-55 pitch bullpen session on Tuesday. He pitched well during his rehab start on Sunday, but the team isn't quite ready to get him back into the mix. Obviously, Strasburg has a long history with injuries, so the Nats […]

Atlanta Braves pitcher Huascar Ynoa (hand) is expected to miss a couple of months after suffering an injury on Sunday. The young pitcher was having a breakout campaign before fracturing his right hand when he punched the dugout wall.
