Trea Turner Collects Two More Runs On Sunday

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Trea Turner was productive on Sunday against the Angels. Making his second start for the club, the 28-year-old went 1-for-4 during the 8-2 win, smacking a double to left field during his first plate appearance and collecting two runs in total. It appears as if the acquisition of Turner from the […]

Justin Turner Exits Early Against Angels

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner (groin) exited the series finale against the Angels on Sunday. The 36-year-old began to experience left groin discomfort throughout the contest and was subsequently replaced by Albert Pujols, who took over at first, allowing Max Muncy to slide over to the hot corner. Despite his advanced age, Turner […]

Raimel Tapia To Have MRI

Colorado Rockies outfielder Raimel Tapia (toe) left Sunday's clash against Miami.

The 28-year-old was playing relatively well […]

Chris Sale Pitches Well In Rehab Start

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Chris Sale (elbow) was fantastic during what could be his final rehab outing for Triple-A Worcester.

Hudson has been out because of a positive COVID-19 diagnosis and has […]

Chris Paddack Plays Catch On Saturday

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Chris Paddack (oblique) played catch again on Saturday. The 25-year-old righty is currently sitting on an acceptable 7-6 record along with a less-than-stellar 5.13 ERA throughout 19 starts this season. He has been on the 10-day injured list since the end of July because of a left oblique strain, so […]

Pedro Severino Injured Against Tampa

Baltimore Orioles catcher Pedro Severino (knee) left Saturday's contest against the Rays. Severino exited because of a right knee contusion and was replaced by Austin Wynns behind the dish in the fourth inning.

Shohei Ohtani Pitching Again On Thursday

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher/designated hitter Shohei Ohtani will start on Thursday against Toronto. The MVP candidate will take the bump for the series finale against the Blue Jays after having made his last start on Wednesday against Texas, lasting six innings, allowing one run and striking out six. Although most managers know he is […]

Chris Rodriguez To Start On Tuesday

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Chris Rodriguez will start one game of Tuesday's doubleheader against Toronto.

Kevin Kiermaier Dealing With A Sore Knee

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier (knee) exited Saturday night's matchup against the Orioles. The 31-year-old began to experience right knee soreness and was replaced by Brett Phillips out in center. Kiermaier is batting .233 this season, with 56 hits, 32 runs, 23 RBI, and seven stolen bags. While he is considered day-to-day, a potential […]

Jean Segura Nailed By Pitch On Saturday

Philadelphia Phillies second baseman Jean Segura (face, finger) was nailed by a pitch during Saturday's win over the Mets. The veteran exited early as a result, and although x-rays returned positive results, he could still miss time moving forward. Nonetheless, If Segura can't suit up for the series finale against New York on Sunday, Ronald […]

Mookie Betts Hitting Third On Saturday Night

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts (hip) is starting on Saturday night against the Angels, although he is scheduled for a routine day off on Sunday for the series finale. Betts left Friday's matchup against Los Angeles because of right hip discomfort, so seeing him back is good news for the fantasy managers who've been […]

Freddie Freeman Exits Early On Saturday

Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman (illness) left Saturday's matchup against the Nationals. Freeman is currently dealing with an upper respiratory infection, and he didn't last long before being replaced by Ehire Adrianza. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day, although it wouldn't be surprising if he weren't in the lineup on Sunday afternoon. Nonetheless, the […]

Trea Turner Batting Leadoff Against Angels

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Trea Turner will bat leadoff against the Angels on Saturday night.

Although the multi-time All-Star was able to help Team USA secure a gold medal, it is still unsettling […]

Aron Baynes Could Miss Entire Year

Free-agent center Aron Baynes (neck) could miss the entire 2021-22 campaign. Baynes averaged 6.1 points last season, a significant decrease from the year before, to go along with only 5.2 rebounds. He was recently waived by the Raptors a few days ago, and he is now reportedly dealing with significant nerve damage, which is even […]

Jimmy Butler Agrees To Extension With Heat

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler agreed to a four-year, $184 million contract extension. The move will keep him with the team through the 2025-26 season, and it comes after the 31-year-old averaged 21.5 points, 7.1 assists, and 6.9 boards throughout 52 games last season. He is also a nightmare on the defensive end, especially after […]

Khem Birch Could Be A Sneaky Fantasy Option

Toronto Raptors center Khem Birch continues to see his fantasy value skyrocket heading into the regular season. With Pascal Siakam (shoulder) expected to miss a few months and Chris Boucher likely to see more time as a power forward, Birch has a clear path toward a consistent role as an effective fantasy option. The 28-year-old […]

Chris Boucher To Spend Time At The Four This Year

Toronto Raptors center Chris Boucher is slated to spend time as a power forward this season. With Pascal Siakam (shoulder) likely to miss a month or two moving ahead, Boucher's fantasy stock is on the rise. Although he may not start, at least consistently, the 28-year-old still has a higher ceiling than most with a […]

Caleb Martin Waived By Charlotte

Charlotte Hornets forward Caleb Martin was waived by the team on Saturday. The 25-year-old appeared in 53 games last season, starting in three of them. However, regardless of his role, he still didn't do much, finishing the year by averaging 5.0 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 1.3 assists. Nonetheless, it's unlikely that he will make a […]

DeAndre’ Bembry Lands One-Year Deal With Brooklyn

The Nets agreed to a one-year deal with free-agent forward DeAndre' Bembry. Bembry played most of his career in Atlanta before landing in Canada for the 2020-21 season, averaging 5.7 points, 2.9 rebounds, 2.1 assists, and 1.0 steals throughout 51 games with the Raptors. The 27-year-old doesn't have much value from a fantasy standpoint, primarily […]

Andre Iguodala Heading Back To Golden State

Free-agent forward Andre Iguodala agreed to a deal with the Warriors on Friday. After the Heat declined a $15 million team option, the veteran will head back to Golden State, where he won three NBA Championships and was named Finals MVP in 2015.

With Leonard potentially missing […]

Dennis Schroder On Celtics’ Radar

The Celtics are interested in signing free-agent guard Dennis Schroder to a short-term deal. The 2013 first-round pick was a consistent victim of health and safety protocols throughout the year but still finished by averaging 15.4 points, 5.8 assists, and 1.1 steals throughout 61 regular-season games. After Boston parted ways with Kemba Walker, the 27-year-old […]

Willy Hernangomez Staying In New Orleans

Center Willy Hernangomez agreed to a three-year deal to remain with the Pelicans. The 2015 second-round draft pick has played in New York and Charlotte throughout his career before ending up in New Orleans.
