Jake Rogers Heading To The Bench

Detroit Tigers catcher Jake Rogers is out of the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Now, Dillon Dingler will do the catching and bat seventh versus right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto on Friday. […]

Miguel Amaya Taking A Seat On Friday

Chicago Cubs catcher Miguel Amaya will head to the bench ahead of Friday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. This is an interesting decision after Amaya delivered two hits and collected five RBI during the team's win on Thursday.

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Kyle Freeland was fantastic on the mound during Friday's season opener against the Tampa Bay Rays.

The […]

Tush-Push Ban Is Gaining Momentum

The Philadelphia Eagles have made the tush push famous over the last few seasons.

Earlier this offseason, the Green Bay Packers made a move to […]

Aroldis Chapman Pitches In Eighth Inning

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Aroldis Chapman was recently named the primary closer heading into the regular season, according to manager Alex Cora.

Justin Slaten Earns Save On Thursday

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Justin Slaten was called upon to hold a three-run lead during Thursday's season opener against the Texas Rangers.

Wilyer Abreu Launches Two Homers In Opener

Boston Red Sox outfielder Wilyer Abreu was probably the most unlikely of heroes during Thursday's season opener against the Texas Rangers.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Tyler O'Neill probably wishes that everyday was Opening Day. On Thursday, O'Neill homered for a record sixth consecutive Opening Day.

Cedric Mullins Blasts Two Homers In Opener

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Cedric Mullins came ready to play during Thursday's season opener against the Toronto Blue Jays.

Mullins went 3-for-5 with two home runs and five RBI during Thursday's blowout […]

MacKenzie Gore Records 13 Strikeouts

Washington Nationals starting pitcher MacKenzie Gore was fantastic on the mound during Thursday's season opener against the Philadelphia Phillies.

Sadly for Gore, the Nats […]

Shelby Miller Makes Opening Day Roster

Arizona Diamondbacks relief pitcher Shelby Miller has earned a spot on the Opening Day roster. This is a nice feel-good story as the veteran right-hander was brought in as a non-roster invitee. Miller looked impressive during spring training and has earned himself a spot on the 26-man roster. Miller posted an average season with the […]

Frankie Montas Gets Encouraging MRI Results

New York Mets starting pitcher Frankie Montas (lat) underwent an MRI earlier this week that showed good healing, according to president of baseball operations David Stearns.

Texas Rangers third baseman Josh Jung (neck) is expected to be ready to go for Thursday's season opener against the Boston Red Sox.

Despite that, the Nationals still have high hopes for the […]

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Cason Wallace (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Sacramento Kings.

Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center Chet Holmgren (hip) is available to play ahead of Tuesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Holmgren appears ready to go after missing Sunday's contest due to the hip issue. There is no word on Holmgren being limited, but his minutes have fluctuated recently anyway. Fantasy managers in season-long formats can get […]

Dalano Banton Cleared For Tuesday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Dalano Banton (illness) has been cleared to play ahead of Tuesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

He's averaging 12 minutes per game in March, so he's […]

Jerami Grant Downgraded To Out On Tuesday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Marc Church Makes Opening Day Roster

Texas Rangers relief pitcher Marc Church has made the Opening Day roster, according to manager Bruce Bochy.

Aroldis Chapman Named Primary Closer

Boston Red Sox left-handed relief pitcher Aroldis Chapman will operate as the primary closer to begin the season, according to manager Alex Cora.

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Lucas Giolito (hamstring) is scheduled to begin a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Worcester next week.

Matt Vierling Progressing To Soft Toss

Detroit Tigers outfielder Matt Vierling (shoulder) has progressed to hitting soft toss in the batting cage. It's worth noting that Vierling is also doing defensive drills and conditioning daily.

Jared Jones Shut Down For Six Weeks

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Jared Jones (elbow) will be shut down from throwing for the next six weeks. The good news is, Jones won't require surgery, so it doesn't appear he's in jeopardy of having a season-ending injury. The right-hander will need to build up his arm strength and stamina, so fantasy managers might not […]
