Troy Tulowitzki is Likely Out A Week

New York Yankees shortstop Troy Tulowitzki (calf) will likely be shut down at least a week after suffering a mild strain in his calf, according to manager Aaron Boone. Tulowitzki suffered a setback during his rehab assignment this week. It sounds like Yankees fans are going to have to wait about two weeks before they […]

Chris Iannetta Activated on Friday

Colorado Rockies catcher Chris Iannetta (lat) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Friday. Iannetta has missed the last few weeks of action due to a lat strain. He's back in the starting lineup on Friday. He'll bat seventh and draw the start behind the plate versus lefty Robbie Ray.

Daniel Murphy is Sitting on Friday

Colorado Rockies first baseman Daniel Murphy (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Murphy has been off to a slow start this season and the Rockies are facing a lefty pitcher. Giving Murphy the night off was a smart idea here. Mark Reynolds will play first base and […]

Gregory Polanco is Sitting Against Lefty

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Gregory Polanco (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Oakland Athletics. Polanco is normally in the starting lineup, but gets the night off against the left-hander Brett Anderson. Melky Cabrera will draw the start in right field and bat third versus Anderson. Cabrera could be worth a […]

Francisco Cervelli is Back on Friday

Pittsburgh Pirates catcher Francisco Cervelli (wrist) is back in Friday's starting lineup against the Oakland Athletics. Cervelli was hit by a pitch and forced to sit out last game due to a sore left wrist. Cervelli will bat sixth and draw the start behind the plate versus lefty Brett Anderson. He's a decent DFS option […]

Stephen Curry Will Be Fine for Game 3

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (finger) will be ready for Game 3 versus the Houston Rockets on Saturday. Curry dislocated his left finger during Game 2 on Wednesday, but he was able to finish the game. It doesn't appear that this is a serious injury and Curry should be fine for Saturday's contest.

Malcolm Brogdon Ruled Out for Game 3

Milwaukee Bucks guard Malcolm Brogdon (foot) has been ruled out for Friday's Game 3 against the Boston Celtics. Brogdon was able to practice on Monday, but he's just not ready for game action yet. There was a small chance he would be ready for Game 3. Hopefully Brogdon can log in some minutes in Game […]

Maurice Harkless is Questionable for Friday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Maurice Harkless (ankle) is listed as questionable for Game 3 against the Denver Nuggets on Friday. Harkless suffered a sprained right ankle during Wednesday's contest, so seeing him even listed as questionable is a good sign. Jake Layman saw a majority of Harkless' minutes in the second half. He'd likely do […]

Mike Scott is Available for Game 3

Philadelphia 76ers forward Mike Scott (heel) is available for Thursday's Game 3 versus the Toronto Raptors. Scott missed the first two games of this series after suffering a heel injury in Game 5 against the Brooklyn Nets. Scott is expected to see some playing time on Thursday, but is too risky to use in DFS […]

Jeremy Lin Won't Play in Game 3

Toronto Raptors guard Jeremy Lin (back) has been ruled out for Thursday's Game 3 versus the Philadelphia 76ers. Lin hasn't seen much action in this series behind Kyle Lowry and Fred Vanvleet. The two of them will soak up a few extra minutes with Lin out on Thursday.

Eloy Jimenez Will Start Rehab Assignment Soon

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez (ankle) could start a rehab assignment in the next week, according to general manager Rick Hahn. Jimenez landed on the injured list last week due to a sprained right ankle. If everything goes as planned, Jimenez should be back with the White Sox by the middle of May. He's […]

Lucas Giolito Activated on Thursday

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Lucas Giolito (hamstring) has been activated off the 10-day injured list. Carlos Rodon (elbow) has been placed on the 10-day injured list after dealing with elbow inflammation. Giolito will draw the start against the Boston Red Sox on Thursday. Giolito's 5.30 ERA does not scream streaming option for DFS contests, […]

Dylan Covey Joins White Sox Rotation

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Dylan Covey has joined the Sox starting rotation after Carlos Rodon (elbow) went down. Rodon is possibly facing having Tommy John surgery, so his season could very well be over. Covey has been awful during his time as an MLB starter, but maybe he's fixed some things this time around. […]

Seth Maness Signs With Rangers

The Texas Rangers and veteran right-handed reliever Seth Maness have agreed to terms on a minor league deal. Maness has not pitched in the majors since 2017, but does have a career 3.21 ERA across parts of five seasons. He's mainly a middle-relief pitcher with a little closing experience. Maness will head to Triple-A, but […]

Carlos Rodon May Need Tommy John Surgery

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Carlos Rodon (elbow), who was placed on the 10-day injured list on Thursday with left elbow inflammation, could be headed towards Tommy John surgery. Rodon is reportedly dealing with an edema in his flexor mass tendon. The Sox have said that everything is on the table, so Rodon could have […]

Matt Duffy to Begin Rehab Assignment Friday

Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Matt Duffy (hamstring) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment on Friday. Duffy is expected to spend at least a week in the minors after being out since spring training due to hamstring issues. Fantasy owners should expect Duffy back in the big leagues by the middle of May.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is Not in Thursday's Lineup

Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Angels, according to manager Charlie Montoyo. The Jays have not announced their lineup yet, but Montoyo said Guerrero would not be starting. Guerrero has been quiet since being called up, so the Jays […]

James Harden Should Be Fine for Game 3

Houston Rockets guard James Harden (eye) visited an eye doctor on Wednesday and the Rockets believe Harden should be fine for Game 3. Harden suffered an eye contusion during Game 2. Harden said he could barely see after the game, so hopefully this isn't a long-term issue. More information should be known later in the […]

Mike Scott Could Play in Game 3

Philadelphia 76ers forward Mike Scott (heel) is listed as questionable for Thursday's Game 3 versus the Toronto Raptors. He has missed the last two games, but was able to practice on Wednesday. He's dealing with plantar fasciitis as well, so the Sixers may continue to let him rest. He doesn't offer much upside in terms […]

Greg Monroe is Probable for Thursday

Philadelphia 76ers center Greg Monroe (ankle) is listed as probable for Thursday's Game 3 versus the Toronto Raptors. Monroe suffered a left ankle sprain during Game 2, but it doesn't appear to be too serious. He played well during his last game, so the Sixers should be able to trust Monroe again behind Joel Embiid.

Luke Bard is the Opener on Wednesday

Los Angeles Angels pitcher Luke Bard will get the "start" against the Toronto Blue Jays on Wednesday. The Angels plan on using Bard as the opener and then going to right-hander Felix Pena out of the bullpen. Bard is likely only going to pitch a few innings, so DFS players can stay away from Bard.

Christian Yelich Should Return This Weekend

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich (back) is on track to return to the starting lineup this weekend, according to manager Craig Counsell. This is great news for both the Brewers and for fantasy owners because Yelich has been on fire to start the season. There is a chance Yelich lands on the 10-day injured list […]

Kole Calhoun Drops in Batting Order

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Kole Calhoun has been hitting at the top of the batting order versus righty pitchers all year. He'll drop to sixth in the batting order versus righty Marcus Stroman on Wednesday. Calhoun is hitting .194, so this move does make sense for the Angels. Tommy La Stella will bat first against […]

Todd Frazier Won't Play on Wednesday

New York Mets third baseman Todd Frazier (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. The red-hot J.D. Davis will draw the start at third base and bat fifth versus righty Anthony DeSclafani. Davis is looking like a sneaky pickup in DFS contests for Wednesday. DeSclafani has struggled and […]

Martin Prado is Playing First Base on Wednesday

Miami Marlins infielder Martin Prado is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Indians. Neil Walker is sitting out and has only seen two plate appearances over the last three games. Prado will play first base and bat fifth versus righty Corey Kluber. Prado is hitting for a solid average this season […]

Derek Dietrich is Starting on Wednesday

Cincinnati Reds infielder/outfielder Derek Dietrich is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the New York Mets. Scott Schebler will get the night off, but he's struggling, so that's probably a good idea. Dietrich will play left field and bat fifth versus righty Jacob deGrom. Dietrich has not done much this season, so he's […]

Juan Soto is Sitting Out on Wednesday

Washington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. The slugging outfielder is just getting a normal rest day. Michael A. Taylor will slide over to center field and bat eighth versus righty Miles Mikolas. Taylor hasn't done much in his brief chances this […]

Sean Rodriguez Starting in Left Field

Philadelphia Phillies infielder/outfielder Sean Rodriguez will draw the start in left field on Wednesday versus the Detroit Tigers. Nick Williams and Aaron Altherr will get the night off to rest. Rodriguez will bat sixth versus lefty Daniel Norris. Rodriguez hasn't done much since joining the Phillies, but could be a cheap DFS option for Wednesday.

Aron Baynes Will Play in Game 2

Boston Celtics center Aron Baynes (ankle) is available for Tuesday's Game 2 versus the Milwaukee Bucks. Baynes tweaked his ankle during Game 1 on Sunday, but it appears to be fine now. It doesn't seem like Baynes was in danger of missing this contest. He should see around 10-15 minutes off the bench.

Carmelo Anthony Could Return to Knicks

Power forward Carmelo Anthony said he isn't ruling out returning to the New York Knicks next season. Anthony didn't last long on the Houston Rockets this season and sat out basically the entire year. Anthony would likely return as a role player off the bench, but might have fantasy value given the playing time. The […]
