Brock Holt Suffers Setback

Boston Red Sox infielder Brock Holt (eye) has suffered a setback during his rehab assignment. Holt is suffering from a scratched cornea, but apparently his new contact lens are not effective. The Sox could really use Holt right now with the team banged up, but it appears they will have to wait a little longer.

Jordan Lyles Expected to Make Next Start

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Jordan Lyles (hand) is expected to make his next start following a hand injury he suffered on Friday. Lyles was hit with a comebacker during Friday's contest, but it appears to be a minor contusion. He was able to play catch on Saturday and should be fine for his next start. […]

Aaron Judge Will Undergo MRI

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (oblique) will undergo an MRI after injuring himself on a swing during Saturday's game. Judge was pulled from Saturday's contest due to what's being called a left oblique injury. It would be surprising if Judge doesn't land on the injured list for a few weeks. Fantasy owners should stay […]

Joel Embiid is Doubtful for Game 4

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) is listed as doubtful for Game 4 versus the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday. Embiid was listed as doubtful for Game 1, but still managed to play. However, he missed Game 3, so who knows what's going on with him. Ben Simmons and Tobias Harris would see a higher usage […]

Blake Griffin is Questionable for Saturday

Detroit Pistons forward Blake Griffin (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's Game 3 versus the Milwaukee Bucks. Griffin has not played in the playoffs yet this season due to left knee soreness. The Pistons are getting crushed in this series, so having Griffin would be huge for them. Thon Maker would likely start again […]

Hanley Ramirez Designated for Assignment on Saturday

Cleveland Indians designated hitter Hanley Ramirez has been designated for assignment on Saturday. Shortstop Francisco Lindor (leg) has activated from the 10-day injured list, so Ramirez was cut to clear up a roster spot. Ramirez saw 57 plate appearances in Cleveland, but managed just a .184/.298/.327, so it's tough to overlook that. He may bounce […]

Brandon Nimmo Back in the Lineup on Saturday

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (neck) is back in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. This will be Nimmo's first game back in action since leaving Tuesday's contest due to a stiff neck. Nimmo will bat first and play center field versus right Miles Mikolas. DFS players should strongly […]

Jacob deGrom Plays Catch on Saturday

New York Mets starting pitcher Jacob deGrom (elbow) was able to play catch on Saturday and is set for an MRI on Monday. It's a good sign that deGrom was able to play catch, so hopefully his elbow issue isn't too serious. He felt some pain in his elbow on Thursday and has been placed […]

Francisco Lindor Activated on Saturday

Cleveland Indians shortstop Francisco Lindor (leg) has been activated from the 10-day injured list. Lindor has been battling minor leg injuries, but seems good to go now. The team has designated Hanley Ramirez to clear a roster spot for Lindor. Fantasy owners should go ahead and adjust their lineups now.

Saturday's Game Between Detroit and Chicago Has Been Postponed

The rain continues to come down in Detroit, so Saturday's Tigers versus the Chicago White Sox game has been postponed. Reynaldo Lopez will make his scheduled start for the Sox on Sunday. It sounds like Ervin Santana who was scheduled to start for the White Sox will be skipped in the rotation. DFS players should […]

Gary Sanchez Will Play in Rehab Game on Monday

New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez (calf) has been making steady progress lately and will play in a rehab game on Monday. There is a chance that if everything goes right, that Sanchez could be activated on Wednesday. Sanchez has six home runs and 11 RBI in 11 games this season, so he looks to […]

Nathan Eovaldi Placed on Injured List

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi (elbow) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. Eovaldi had a 6.00 ERA through four starts this season, but maybe the elbow problem was what is holding him back. Left-handed pitcher Bobby Poyner has been recalled from Triple-A to replace Eovaldi on the active roster. It's unclear […]

Cole Tucker Recalled on Saturday

Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop Cole Tucker has been recalled from Triple-A on Saturday. Tucker was hitting .333/.415/.579 with three home runs and seven RBI during his 13 games in the minors this season. Erik Gonzalez was injured on Friday, so Tucker should get a chance to slide right into the starting lineup. The lineups for the […]

Ian Desmond Returns to the Lineup on Friday

Colorado Rockies outfielder Ian Desmond (leg) will return to the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Desmond will be in the lineup for the first time since Monday due to general leg soreness. He'll bat sixth and play center field versus righty Vince Velasquez. Taking any Rockies' hitter in Coors Field is […]

Ryan Braun Sits Out Against Dodgers

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman/outfielder Ryan Braun (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Braun has struggled this season, hitting .185/.221/.369, so it's not surprising to see him out of the lineup. Ben Gamel will play left field and bat seventh versus righty Ross Stripling. Gamel doesn't have […]

Jesus Aguilar is Sitting on Friday

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Jesus Aguilar (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Aguilar is hitting .155/.254/.190 this season, so he'll take a sit in this one. Eric Thames will take over duties at first base and bat sixth versus righty Ross Stripling. Thames is always a […]

Blake Swihart Likely to Be Traded in Next 24 Hours

Boston Red Sox catcher Blake Swihart is expected to be traded in the next 24 hours, according to president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski. He was designated for assignment earlier in the week, so Swihart's time on the Red Sox is coming to an end. He was once a top prospect, but has a .255/.314/.365 […]

Brad Peacock Will Start on Monday

Houston Astros pitcher Brad Peacock will draw the start in Monday's game against the Minnesota Twins. Peacock hasn't started a game since April 7. He was used mainly as a relief pitcher, so he likely won't pitch deep into Monday's game. DFS players can go ahead and avoid Peacock on Monday since he probably won't […]

Manuel Margot Placed on Paternity Leave

San Diego Padres outfielder Manuel Margot (personal) has been placed on paternity leave. It'll be interesting to see what the Padres decide to do since Margot is the only center fielder on the roster. Jose Pirela has been recalled to take Margot's spot on the roster. Maybe Pirela gets a chance in center field, but […]

Gary Sanchez is Making Progress

New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez (calf) was able to run, play catch, and catch a bullpen session on Friday. However, Sanchez still needs clearance from the medical staff before he can return to game action. It's unclear whether or not the Yankees will send Sanchez out for a rehab assignment. Sanchez is eligible to […]

Miguel Andujar Threw on Friday

New York Yankees third baseman Miguel Andujar (shoulder) threw without issues to bases on Friday. Andujar suffered a small labrum tear in his right shoulder, so this is the biggest step in his rehab program yet. The Yankees may decide to move Andujar to first base or designated hitter in order to protect his shoulder. […]

Tyler O'Neill, Harrison Bader Expected Back Soon

St. Louis Cardinals outfielders Tyler O'Neill (elbow) and Harrison Bader (hamstring) are expected to return to the Cardinals roster once eligible. O'Neill is dealing with right elbow ulnar nerve subluxation, so he could go on a rehab assignment before returning. He's eligible to return April 26, but we'll see it that actually happens. Bader is […]

Brandon Nimmo is Sitting Out on Friday

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (neck) is sitting out of Friday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Nimmo has not been able to get into the lineup since leaving Tuesday's contest due to a stiff neck. Jeff McNeil will bat first and play left field, while Juan Lagares slides over to center field and […]

Jacob deGrom to Undergo MRI

New York Mets starting pitcher Jacob deGrom (elbow) will undergo an MRI on his elbow, according to manager Mickey Callaway. It's unclear at the moment how serious this problem is, so fantasy owners will just need to be patient. DeGrom has struggled in his last two starts, so maybe the elbow issue is why he […]

Will Barton Could Lose Playing Time

Denver Nuggets guard Will Barton was pulled from Thursday's Game 3 versus the San Antonio Spurs. Barton was disappointed he was pulled from the game, but he's struggled heavily through the first two games of this series. Head coach Mike Malone may decide to start Malik Beasley in Game 4. DFS players should stay tuned […]

Patrick McCaw is Probable for Friday

Toronto Raptors guard Patrick McCaw (thumb) is listed as probable for Friday's Game 3 matchup against the Orlando Magic. McCaw hasn't played since March 28, and missed both of the first two playoff games. He didn't do much when he was healthy, so McCaw returning won't mean much for fantasy basketball. DFS players should ignore […]

Joel Embiid is Questionable for Game 4

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) is listed as questionable for Game 4 versus the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday. Embiid was called questionable for Game 3 as well, but was ruled out before tip-off. This will likely end up being a game-time decision, so stay tuned for updates. Greg Monroe and Boban Marjanovic will split […]

Ed Davis Ruled Out for Game 4

Brooklyn Nets center Ed Davis (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's Game 4 against the Philadelphia 76ers. He was not able to practice on Friday after tweaking his ankle during Game 3 on Thursday. Davis hasn't been able to do much on the court since Game 1, so this won't be a huge blow […]

Justin Turner Returns to the Lineup Thursday

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner (hamstring, ankle) will return to the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. This will be Turner's first game in the lineup since Monday. Turner will play third base and bat third against righty Zach Davies. He'll be a decent DFS option for Thursday.

Alex Cobb Remains on Track to Pitch Friday

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Alex Cobb (back) is expected to return to the starting rotation for Friday's game against the Minnesota Twins. Cobb was placed on the injured list April 6 due to back discomfort. Cobb doesn't appear to be 100 percent, but he's going to pitch through the pain. Cobb is not someone who […]
