Talen Horton-Tucker Receives Qualifying Offer

Los Angeles Lakers guard Talen Horton-Tucker received a $1.9 million qualifying offer from the team.

Horton-Tucker is expected to draw plenty of interest during the offseason, so the franchise may be […]

Onyeka Okongwu Has Surgery

Atlanta Hawks center Onyeka Okongwu (shoulder) recently underwent surgery to repair a torn labrum and is expected to need six months to recover. This is bad news for the team, primarily since the 20-year-old was a reliable option when given a chance, averaging 11 points, 8.8 boards, 2.0 blocks, and a steal as a starter […]

T.J. McConnell Drawing Interest From Cavs

Indiana Pacers guard T.J. McConnell is expected to receive plenty of interest from many clubs around the league when free agency begins in August. One team, the Cleveland Cavaliers, is reportedly targeting McConnell and could be in a good position to acquire his services ahead of the 2021-22 campaign. The 29-year-old averaged a career-high 8.6 […]

J.K. Dobbins In Line For A Breakout Year

Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins is on the radar for a breakout 2021 campaign. According to FanDuel, the former Buckeye is a favorite to compile the most regular-season rushing yards by the end of the year. Whether Dobbins will do it or not is debatable. However, he has the potential to finish as one […]

Lamar Jackson Expected To Get Paid Soon

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is expected to land a deal soon worth between $40 and $45 million per year, according to ESPN's Dan Graziano. Jackson has been one of the most explosive and productive signal-callers over the last few seasons, winning the Most Valuable Player award in 2019. While the 24-year-old regressed to some […]

Tyler Boyd Predicted To Have Monster Year

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd could be in line for a monster year, at least according to former NFL quarterback and current analyst Dan Orlovsky. The 27-year-old racked up back-to-back seasons with at least 1,000 receiving yards before falling short of that mark in 2020. However, with an enhanced offensive line and the addition […]

Joe Burrow Draws Noteworthy Comparison

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (knee) was a favorite to finish last season as the league's Rookie of the Year. However, after he took a huge hit during a Week 7 encounter against the Cleveland Browns, resulting in a torn ACL and MCL in his left knee, Justin Herbert surpassed him to claim the award. […]

Joe Mixon Likely To Benefit From Enhanced Line

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (foot) had a disappointing 2020-21 campaign. After signing a four-year, $48 million contract extension last September, the 24-year-old appeared in only six games last season before succumbing to a foot injury that eventually landed him on injured reserve. However, with the team fortifying its offensive line along with the […]

Zach LaVine Enters Health And Safety Protocols

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine will not travel with Team USA to Tokyo. LaVine is once again dealing with health and safety protocols, an unfortunate development because he missed 11 contests during the year due to the same issue. Although the 26-year-old is an innocent bystander to contact tracing, it still will cost him a […]

James Wiseman Expected To Be Ready For The Season

Golden State Warriors center James Wiseman (knee) is expected to be available for the 2021-22 campaign. "He's right on schedule for everything and, as of now, [the] medical team tells me he will be ready for camp," reported head coach Steve Kerr. The 20-year-old, who was the No. 2 overall pick in the 2020 NBA […]

Klay Thompson Moving In The Right Direction

Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson (Achilles) is inching closer toward a return. "He's on the court, he's running, he's feeling good," reported head coach Steve Kerr. The 31-year-old has been plagued with ailments throughout the last few seasons, tearing his ACL during the 2019 NBA Finals before injuring his right Achilles in November of […]

Jonathan Davis Heading To Buffalo

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Jonathan Davis is heading back down to Triple-A Buffalo. Davis was recalled a few weeks ago, so his most recent tenure with the big club was short-lived. The 29-year-old hasn't done much this season, batting only .143 throughout 48 games in the majors, so it's unlikely any fantasy managers will miss […]

Trey Amburgey Day-To-Day

New York Yankees outfielder Trey Amburgey (hamstring) is considered day-to-day. Amburgey exited Sunday's matchup against the Red Sox after injuring his right hamstring. Although it looked bad when it happened, it now appears that he was dealing with a cramp, which is good news for a club that is sorely lacking depth in the outfield. […]

Jake Fraley Diagnosed With COVID-19

Seattle Mariners outfielder Jake Fraley (illness) has been diagnosed with COVID-19. Fraley hasn't been in the lineup because of Flu-like issues. Although it was originally reported his symptoms weren't linked to the Coronavirus, it appears now that he will miss some time moving ahead. It isn't known whether other players for the M's will have […]

Trey Amburgey Suffers Leg Injury On Sunday

New York Yankees outfielder Trey Amburgey (leg) exited Sunday's outing against the visiting Red Sox. The 26-year-old appeared to injure his hamstring while attempting to reach first base during a double play. This is unfortunate news, primarily since Amburgey just had his contract purchased from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and was expected to fill the void caused […]

Christian Arroyo Injured On Sunday Night

Boston Red Sox infielder Christian Arroyo (hamstring) exited the Sunday Night Baseball matchup against the Yankees. Arroyo suffered a hamstring strain while stretching to make a grab, an unfortunate development considering he was making his first career start at first base. The 26-year-old has been on a roll since returning from the 10-day injured list […]

Michael Lorenzen Heading Back To The Injured List

Cincinnati Reds relief pitcher Michael Lorenzen (hamstring) is heading to the 10-day injured list. According to skipper David Bell, the move will take place on Monday, which is unfortunate news considering Lorenzen was recently activated from the 60-day version on Friday. The 29-year-old right-hander suffered a right hamstring strain during Saturday's matchup against the Milwaukee […]

Mitch Garver May Play On Sunday

Minnesota Twins catcher Mitch Garver (groin) could be back in the lineup soon, possibly as early as Monday. With the club partaking in a doubleheader against the Chicago White Sox, skipper Rocco Baldelli indicated there is a chance the backstop catches in one of them. The 30-year-old has been out of service since June 1 […]

Kean Wong Optioned To Triple-A

Los Angeles Angeles infielder Kean Wong was optioned back to Triple-A on Sunday. The move was needed to make room for outfielder Brandon Marsh, who was called up from Triple-A Salt Lake in a corresponding move. Fantasy managers shouldn't lose any sleep with Wong's demotion, primarily since his most significant contribution was a collision with […]

Duane Underwood Jr. Activated On Sunday

Pittsburgh Pirates relief pitcher Duane Underwood Jr. was activated from the 10-day injured list on Sunday. The 26-year-old righty was out of commission because of side discomfort, but it appears as if he is now ready to go. Underwood currently owns a subpar 4.86 ERA, but he has some value based on his 47 strikeouts […]

Dillon Thomas Recalled From Tacoma

Seattle Mariners outfielder Dillon Thomas was called back up to the big club on Sunday. The 28-year-old has spent time between the M's and Triple-A Tacoma this season, and he will now take the place of Jake Fraley (illness), who recently landed on the 10-day injured list. Thomas isn't worth much from a fantasy perspective, […]

Ryan LaMarre Heading To The Majors

New York Yankees outfielder Ryan LaMarre is projected to start on Sunday during the series finale against the Boston Red Sox. The veteran had his contract selected from Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, and he adds depth to a club with some holes in the outfield. The 32-year-old hasn't done anything noteworthy during his brief stint with the big […]

Greg Allen Expected To Enter Starting Lineup

New York Yankees outfielder Greg Allen is expected to start on Sunday against the Red Sox. With Tim Locastro (knee) and Aaron Judge (COVID-19) both on the shelf, the 28-year-old may spend some additional time with the big club moving ahead. Although he has played relatively well in Triple-A, especially on the base paths, he […]

Mookie Betts Won’t Play On Sunday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts (hip) won't play on Sunday during the series finale against the Rockies. Betts left Saturday's matchup because of right hip irritation, which was unfortunate considering he compiled a homer and three doubles before his early departure. Skipper Dave Roberts indicated that the ailment has been bothering the 28-year-old all […]

Danny Santana Expected To Rejoin Team Soon

Boston Red Sox first baseman Danny Santana (quadriceps) is expected to rejoin the team sometime within the next few days.

However, the 30-year-old hasn't done much this season, currently owning a miserable .167 average throughout […]

Phillies-Marlins Game Suspended

Saturday's matchup between the Miami Marlins and Philadelphia Phillies was suspended due to inclement weather.

Mookie Betts Exits Against Rockies With Hip Injury

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts (hip) left Saturday's matchup against the Colorado Rockies with right hip irritation. Before his departure, the 28-year-old was having a solid evening with a home run and three doubles, but the injury was too much to overcome. More information is likely to come soon, although it wouldn't be a […]

John Means To Start On Tuesday

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher John Means (shoulder) will be activated from the injured list and start on Tuesday against Tampa Bay. The southpaw has been on the shelf since the beginning of June because of a shoulder strain, so fantasy managers should be thrilled with the latest update. The 28-year-old has played well this season, […]

Brandon Crawford May Start On Sunday

San Francisco Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford (hamstring) may be available to start on Sunday, according to skipper Gabe Kapler. Crawford was experiencing left hamstring tightness during Friday's outing against St. Louis, which forced him to exit prematurely. He did see an at-bat on Saturday, so it appears as if he is trending in the right […]

Matt Chapman Continues To Struggle

Oakland Athletics third baseman Matt Chapman went 1-for-3 during Saturday's loss to Cleveland, finishing with one hit and one run. The 28-year-old struck out as well, bringing his total to 114 whiffs on the year. Chapman has regressed somewhat from what he produced last season, currently batting just .226 while connecting for a hit during […]
