Free-agent center Brook Lopez will remain in Milwaukee on a two-year, $48 million deal.

However, Lillard requested a trade on Saturday, so many assumed Portland would pull the plug on […]

D'Angelo Russell Staying With The Lakers

Free-agent guard D'Angelo Russell agreed to a two-year, $37 million contract with the Lakers. Russell, who was traded to LA from the Timberwolves ahead of the deadline, averaged 17.4 points, 6.1 assists and shot a career-high 41.4% from deep in 17 games for the Lakers this season.

Michael Conforto May Pinch Hit Saturday

San Francisco Giants outfielder Michael Conforto (hamstring) isn't in the starting lineup for Sunday's meeting with the New York Mets.

Eduardo Rodriguez Will Return And Start Wednesday

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez (finger) will return and start Wednesday's game against the Oakland Athletics. This is excellent news for fantasy managers, primarily since the 30-year-old was sitting on a 2.13 ERA with 67 strikeouts in 11 starts this season before going down. But Rodriguez's days in Detroit may be coming to an […]

San Diego Padres reliever Tom Cosgrove (hamstring) was activated from the 15-day injured list on Saturday. The left-hander has been on the shelf since mid-June because of a strained left hamstring.

San Diego Padres relief pitcher Drew Carlton (elbow) landed on the 15-day injured list on Saturday. The 27-year-old has appeared in 11 games for the big club in 2023, amassing a 2-1 record and a 4.35 ERA. He is now dealing with elbow inflammation, so it's anyone's guess when he'll be back on the bump. […]

Mychal Givens Transferred To 60-Day Injured List

Baltimore Orioles relief pitcher Mychal Givens (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day injured list on Saturday. The 33-year-old has appeared in only six games this season, compiling a horrendous 11.25 ERA. Unfortunately, he recently suffered a setback in rehab, so the move isn't surprising. At any rate, there likely aren't many fantasy managers losing sleep […]

Timberwolves Signing Troy Brown Jr.

Free-agent forward Troy Brown Jr. has agreed to a deal with the Timberwolves, although the terms of the agreement aren't public. The 23-year-old spent time with the Wizards, Bulls, and Lakers since entering the league as a first-round draft pick in 2018.

The 28-year-old started 61 games for the Wizards last season, averaging 10.3 points, 5.3 assists, and 3.4 rebounds. Of course, he likely won't see nearly as many runs with the first five in Detroit, considering Jaden […]

Derrick Rose Heading To Memphis
