Zack Greinke Dealing With Shoulder Soreness

Houston Astros starting pitcher Zack Greinke (shoulder) left Saturday's matchup against the New York Yankees. According to skipper Dusty Baker, the 37-year-old veteran was reportedly dealing with shoulder soreness, and with the All-Star break up ahead, his early departure should give him some much-needed rest before the second half of the year begins. The right-hander […]

Victor Gonzalez Throws Pen Session

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Victor Gonzalez (foot) threw a bullpen session at Dodger Stadium on Saturday. The 25-year-old southpaw recently landed on the 10-day injured list because of plantar fasciitis, but the recent update would appear that he won't be on the IL long. Gonzalez currently owns a 2.57 ERA this season, and fantasy […]

Austin Gomber Throws 35 Pitches Saturday

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Austin Gomber (forearm) tossed 35 pitches across two innings in a simulated game on Saturday. Although he still has a way to go before taking the bump again, it is still a step in the right direction. Gomber has been out of the equation since June because of forearm tightness, but […]

Brendan Rodgers Out With Stomach Issues

Colorado Rockies second baseman Brendan Rodgers (illness) will not play on Saturday evening against the San Diego Padres. With Trevor Story (soreness) out after getting hit by a pitch on Friday, Rodgers was originally slated to cover second base while Chris Owings took over short. However, it now appears gastrointestinal issues will keep the 24-year-old […]

Trevor Story Out Against Padres

Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story (soreness) isn't in the lineup on Saturday against the Padres. He was hit by a pitch on Friday night and battling some soreness, so the team will play it safe by holding him out. Chris Owings will slide over to cover the position. Garrett Hampson will also now cover base […]

Josh Naylor Transferred To 60-Day Injured List

Cleveland Indians outfielder Josh Naylor (ankle) was transferred to the 60-day injured list on Saturday. Naylor suffered a gruesome right ankle injury a few weeks ago, and he recently went under the knife, so his new designation isn't much of a surprise. The 24-year-old remains without a firm return date, although he may not be […]

Kyle Seager Not Playing On Saturday

Seattle Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager will not play on Saturday night against the Los Angeles Angels. No reason was given regarding the veteran's absence, although he hasn't done much anyway, so fantasy managers likely won't be too upset. Shed Long Jr. will enter the lineup and cover second, with Dylan Moore sliding over to […]

Update On Ronald Acuna Jr. Likely On Sunday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (leg) is still being examined after he was carted off the field on Saturday in a contest against the Marlins. Manager Brian Snitker wasn't able to provide an update on the two-time All-Star, only indicating that more news regarding his status likely won't come until Sunday. Surely, fantasy managers […]

Miguel Andujar Lands On The Injured List

New York Yankees infielder/outfielder Miguel Andujar (wrist) landed on the 10-day injured list on Saturday. The 26-year-old has been dealing with a sprained left wrist, and although an MRI and X-rays came back clean, the ailment is severe enough to keep him on the shelf until after the break. Andujar has played relatively well this […]

Derek Holland Activated From Injured List

Detroit Tigers relief pitcher Derek Holland (shoulder) was reinstated from the injured list on Saturday. The 34-year-old is currently sitting on a 1-1 record and a miserable 9.60 ERA throughout 14 big league appearances this season. He has been on the shelf since June because of left shoulder inflammation, but he likely won't add much […]

FanDuel MMA, UFC 264 DFS Lineup Picks - Poirier vs. McGregor III

UFC 264 will take place on Saturday night from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Main Event of the night will feature the highly anticipated contest between Dustin Poirier and Connor McGregor. Both men aren't too crazy about each other, which is always a good narrative for combat sports. Also on the card, […]

Red Sox Activate Kevin Plawecki

Boston Red Sox catcher Kevin Plawecki (hamstring) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list on Friday. The 30-year-old has been out because of a left hamstring strain. However, it's unlikely many fantasy managers were eagerly awaiting his return. Plawecki is batting .254 this season but has split time with Christian Vazquez, resulting in decreased production […]

Vidal Brujan Recalled From Durham

Tampa Bays Rays second baseman Vidal Brujan was recalled from Triple-A Durham on Friday. With Mike Brosseau (oblique) landing on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to July 8, Brujan will get another shot in the big club. The 23-year-old speedster has gone 1-for-6 throughout two games in the majors this year while also compiling one […]

Danny Santana Lands On Injured List

Boston Red Sox infielder/outfielder Danny Santana (quadriceps) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Friday night. The 30-year-old switch-hitter was injured during Tuesday's matchup against the Los Angeles Angels, suffering a strained left quad in the seventh inning before getting the plug pulled. Santana hasn't done much for fantasy managers this season, currently batting […]

DL Hall To Begin Throwing Soon

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher DL Hall (elbow) will begin a throwing program in two weeks. The 22-year-old southpaw has been out for a few weeks now because of elbow soreness. Fortunately, an MRI showed no structural damage, which is positive news for the dynasty managers expecting big things from him moving ahead. Hall is one […]

Richie Martin Began Hitting On Friday

Baltimore Orioles shortstop Richie Martin (wrist) began his hitting progression on Friday. The 26-year-old is on track toward a return after being out for nearly two months because of a broken left wrist. Although Martin doesn't have much fantasy value in anything outside of dynasty formats, at least at the moment, he is a viable […]

Andrew Stevenson Activated From Injured List

Washington Nationals outfielder Andrew Stevenson (oblique) was activated from the 10-day injured list and optioned to Triple-A Rochester. Stevenson has been on the shelf because of a strained oblique, and he is expected to return to the big club sometime after the All-Star break. The 27-year-old was batting .227, with 14 runs, 10 RBI, and […]

Aaron Sanchez To Pitch For Low-A On Saturday

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Aaron Sanchez (finger) will participate in a rehab outing on Saturday. The 29-year-old recently threw a live batting practice session on Tuesday, so his progression to Low-A San Jose is undoubtedly pleasant news. Sanchez was sporting an acceptable 3.18 ERA before going down with biceps tendinitis on May 5, and […]

Eric Bledsoe Could Be On The Move

New Orleans Pelicans guard Eric Bledsoe may be on the move. With the team owning the No. 10 overall selection in the 2021 NBA Draft, the pick could be paired with Bledsoe to create cap space. The veteran averaged 12.2 points and 3.8 assists throughout 71 games last season and has a few years remaining […]

Steven Adams Potentially On The Trade Block

New Orleans Pelicans center Steven Adams could be on the trade block ahead of the 2021-22 campaign. The veteran, who has a few years remaining on his current deal, may be packaged along with a draft pick to open up cap space on the Pels' roster. Adams had a considerable drop in production last season […]

MRI Results Positive For Torrey Craig

Phoenix Suns guard Torrey Craig (knee) is considered day-to-day and could still suit up for Game 3 of the NBA Finals in Milwaukee. The 30-year-old suffered a right knee contusion in Game 2 of the series, and he was relegated to just eight minutes in that one as a result. Fortunately, an MRI revealed no […]

Zach LaVine Could Be Nearing Extension

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine is expected to negotiate a contract extension with his current employer this summer. LaVine is entering the final of a four-year deal worth $78 million and will presumably get a substantial raise wherever he signs. The 26-year-old averaged a career-high 27.4 points throughout 58 games during the 2020-21 campaign. He […]

Kelly Oubre Jr. Reportedly Frustrated In Golden State

Golden State Warriors forward Kelly Oubre Jr. has recently expressed his frustration with his current team. With Steve Kerr indicating that he views Oubre in a role outside of the starting lineup, his days in the Bay Area could be officially over. The 25-year-old will enter free agency this offseason and has recently been linked […]

Anthony Edwards Suffers Ankle Injury

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Anthony Edwards (ankle) was injured during Wednesday's practice against Team USA. Edwards, who was playing for the Select Team, avoided anything severe and was diagnosed with a sprained ankle, which will keep him out for the rest of the Summer. With training camps starting in just a few short months, the 19-year-old […]

Kevin Love Likely Done In Cleveland

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Kevin Love may have already played his final season with the team. The veteran, who has battled injuries over the years, averaged just 12.2 points and 7.4 rebounds during the 2020-21 campaign. The Cavs are likely to explore trade opportunities this offseason, but with two years and $60 million left on his […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Not On The Injury Report

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) isn't listed on the league's official injury report ahead of Game 2 of the NBA Finals. The Freak hyperextended his left knee during the Eastern Conference Finals against the Hawks. However, after he was initially listed as doubtful for Game 1 against Phoenix, he managed to suit up, finishing […]

Dario Saric Out Indefinitely

Phoenix Suns forward Dario Saric (knee) is out indefinitely. Saric suffered a torn ACL in his right knee during Game 1 of the NBA Finals. His status for the regular season, which begins in October, is currently up in the air, although it wouldn't be surprising if he weren't available. Throughout 50 games of 2020-21 […]

Kris Bryant Dealing With Hamstring Issue

Updating a previous report, Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant (hamstring) was removed from Wednesday's contest against the Phillies. The veteran was dealing with tightness in his right hamstring, and Patrick Wisdom subsequently replaced him in the top of the fourth inning as a result. With the All-Streak break up ahead, it wouldn't be unreasonable […]

Justus Sheffield Lands On The 10-Day Injured List

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Justus Sheffield (forearm) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday night. The move comes after the southpaw was routed by the Yankees on Tuesday, allowing six runs and five hits while walking three batters. The 25-year-old is currently sitting on an unimpressive 6.48 ERA and an equally hideous 5-8 […]

Erik Swanson Activated From The Injured List

Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Erik Swanson (groin) was removed from the 10-day injured list on Wednesday evening. Swanson has been on the shelf since the end of May because of a right groin strain, so his activation is good news for a team that will now be without Justus Sheffield (forearm) for at least a […]
