Ausar Thompson is Cleared for Monday's Game

Detroit Pistons forward Ausar Thompson (ankle) is available to play ahead of Monday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Thompson will shed the questionable tag and suit up for this game despite dealing with an ankle issue. It's the front end of a back-to-back set, so Thompson could sit out on Tuesday. Fantasy managers should […]

Jalen Duren to Sit Out on Monday

Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. As expected, Duren will sit out the front end of this back-to-back set due to rest purposes. The expectation is that Duren will return for Tuesday's game, but fantasy managers should check back ahead of that […]

Nick Richards to Miss Third Straight Game

Chicago Bulls center Nick Richards (elbow) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Richards will miss his third game in a row due to a sprained right elbow. This absence should mean that Guerschon Yabusele should draw at least one more start at the center spot. Fantasy managers should […]

Guerschon Yabusele is Active on Monday

Chicago Bulls forward/center Guerschon Yabusele (ankle) is available to play ahead of Monday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Yabusele is back in the mix following a one-game absence due to a left ankle injury. He should continue to see a larger role in the rotation with Nick Richards (elbow) still sidelined. He figures to […]

Grayson Allen is Ruled Out for Monday

Phoenix Suns guard Grayson Allen (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Allen will be held out of the front end of this back-to-back set due to left knee injury management. The expectation is that Allen will return to the court for Tuesday's game against the Orlando Magic. The […]

Isaiah Jackson is Ruled Out for Sunday

Los Angeles Clippers center Isaiah Jackson (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Jackson was forced to make an early exit from Friday's game due to a right ankle injury. It appears to be significant enough to hold him out of Sunday's contest. The absence of Jackson means that […]

Bobby Portis to Miss Third Straight Game

Milwaukee Bucks center Bobby Portis (wrist) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Portis will miss his third game in a row due to a lingering wrist injury. He'll miss both legs of the back-to-back set with his next chance to play coming on Tuesday versus the Dallas Mavericks. […]

Ryan Rollins is Absent on Sunday

Milwaukee Bucks guard Ryan Rollins (hip) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Rollins struggled on Saturday and will now sit out the second leg of this back-to-back set due to left hip soreness. The absence of Rollins should mean increased roles for Andre Jackson Jr. and AJ Green. […]

Kyle Kuzma Remains Out on Sunday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Kyle Kuzma (Achilles) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Kuzma is set to miss his fourth straight game due to right Achilles tendinopathy. They've already been eliminated from playoff contention, so the Bucks have little incentive to play anyone at less than 100 percent. Pete […]

Myles Turner Gets Downgraded to Out

Milwaukee Bucks center Myles Turner (knee) has been downgraded to out ahead of Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Turner won't be able to shed the questionable tag and will sit out the second leg of this back-to-back set. Fantasy managers should consider Turner as questionable ahead of Tuesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. […]

Jayson Tatum is Upgraded to Available

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (Achilles) has been upgraded to available ahead of Sunday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Tatum came into this game as questionable for injury management purposes. They've decided to start Tatum and give Jaylen Brown (Achilles) the night off. This is the front end of a back-to-back set, so Tatum could […]

Jaylen Brown to Miss Second Straight Game

Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (Achilles) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Brown will miss his second game in a row due to left Achilles tendinitis. This is the front end of a back-to-back set, so we'll see if Brown is available against the Atlanta Hawks on Monday. The […]

Lenyn Sosa is Heading to the Bench Again

Chicago White Sox infielder Lenyn Sosa is out of the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. This marks the second time in the first three games that Sosa has been held out of the starting lineup. The expectation was that Sosa would have a bigger role after smacking a career-high 22 […]

Marcell Ozuna is Absent on Sunday

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Marcell Ozuna (rest) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the New York Mets. This looks to be a routine rest day for Ozuna, who started the first two games of the season. Over that span, Ozuna is 1-for-9 with a walk, so a trip to the bench […]

Francisco Alvarez is Resting on Sunday

New York Mets catcher Francisco Alvarez will head to the bench ahead of Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. This appears to be a routine rest day for Alvarez, who has started in both games to begin the season. So far this season, Alvarez is 2-for-6 with one home run, one RBI, and one walk. […]

Pete Fairbanks Won't Pitch on Sunday

Miami Marlins relief pitcher Pete Fairbanks (rest) won't be available to pitch during Sunday's game against the Colorado Rockies, according to manager Clayton McCullough. Fairbanks will get a rest day on Sunday after picking up back-to-back saves to begin the season. The 32-year-old signed a one-year, $13 million deal with the Marlins over the offseason. […]

Jake Fraley is Out with Shoulder Soreness

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Jake Fraley (shoulder) has been scratched from Sunday's lineup versus the St. Louis Cardinals. Fraley suffered a right shoulder injury while attempting to make a diving catch during Saturday's contest. Rays manager Kevin Cash hinted that the injury wasn't serious, so fantasy managers should consider Fraley as day-to-day. Jonny DeLuca will […]

CJ Abrams is Returning on Sunday

Washington Nationals shortstop CJ Abrams (personal) is back in the lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Chicago Cubs. Abrams was away from the team for Saturday's game due to a death in the family. Nasim Nunez filled in at shortstop for that game, but will move over to second base on Sunday. Abrams will […]

Walter Clayton Jr. is Available for Saturday's Game

Memphis Grizzlies guard Walter Clayton Jr. (ankle) is available to play ahead of Saturday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Clayton will shed the questionable tag and suit up for the second leg of this back-to-back set. The rookie guard should continue playing a larger role in the rotation with Ty Jerome (ankle) and Cam Spencer […]

Jahmai Mashack is Returning on Saturday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Jahmai Mashack (ankle, nose) is returning to the court ahead of Saturday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Mashack is back following a six-game absence due to a left ankle sprain and nasal fracture. Before the injury, Mashack was actually playing significant minutes in the rotation. It's unclear if that will remain the […]

Guerschon Yabusele is Absent on Saturday

Chicago Bulls forward Guerschon Yabusele (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Yabusele drew the start on Friday with Nick Richards (elbow) unavailable. Now, both big men are sitting out for Saturday's contest, which puts the Bulls in a bad spot. Possibly, Lachlan Olbrich draws the start, but Patrick […]

Malik Monk Moves into Starting Five on Saturday

Sacramento Kings guard Malik Monk will move into the starting five ahead of Saturday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Fellow guard Nique Clifford (foot) is available following a two-game absence. However, the Kings have elected to ease him back into action and start Monk on Saturday. Possibly, Clifford is going to be limited, but the […]

Jonathan Kuminga to Sit Out on Saturday

Atlanta Hawks forward Jonathan Kuminga (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Unsurprisingly, Kuminga will take a seat in the second leg of this back-to-back set while he continues to deal with lingering knee issues. The Hawks are also without Dyson Daniels (toe) on Saturday, so the depth of […]

Onyeka Okongwu Won't Play on Saturday

Atlanta Hawks center Onyeka Okongwu (finger) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Sacramento Kings. The big man appears to have suffered a finger injury that will keep him sidelined for this game. Luckily, fellow big man Jock Landale (shoulder) is back in the mix following a one-game absence. Landale should move […]

Jock Landale is Cleared for Saturday's Game

Atlanta Hawks center Jock Landale (shoulder) is available to play ahead of Saturday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Landale is back in the mix following a one-game absence due to a shoulder injury. Fellow big man Onyeka Okongwu (finger) is out, which means Landale should have an expanded role. Landale should start and play 25-plus […]

Dyson Daniels is Ruled Out for Saturday

Atlanta Hawks guard Dyson Daniels (toe) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Daniels was questionable coming into this game due to a left toe sprain. It appears to be significant enough to keep Daniels off the court for at least one game. His next chance to play will come […]

Zack Wheeler Looks Sharp in Rehab Start

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Zack Wheeler (shoulder) looked solid on the mound during his first minor-league rehab start with Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Saturday. The right-hander tossed three innings, allowing two hits, one walk, and striking out three batters. The plan was for Wheeler to throw 45 pitches, but he only needed 38 to get […]

Curtis Mead Traded to the Nationals

Chicago White Sox infielder Curtis Mead has been traded to the Washington Nationals in exchange for catcher Boston Smith. It didn't take long for the White Sox to find a trade partner after designating Mead for assignment before Opening Day. Mead doesn't offer a ton of upside with the bat, but is a decent depth […]

Michael McGreevy Throws Six No-Hit Innings

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Michael McGreevy was locked in against the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday. McGreevy was stellar as he tossed six no-hit innings versus the Rays. The right-hander was pulled out of the game before allowing a hit. Sadly, the Cardinals' bullpen was unable to hold the lead for McGreevy. He finished […]

JJ Wetherholt Hits Walk-Off Single Against Tampa

St. Louis Cardinals infielder JJ Wetherholt came up clutch for his team during Saturday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. Wetherholt blasted his first career home run on Thursday and had more fun in his second career game. It was mostly a quiet game for the rookie infielder until he came up to the plate […]
