Mike Trout Rounding Corner Toward Return

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (calf) is nearing a return. The former MVP reportedly started swinging a bat a few days ago while also continuing jogging on a treadmill. "It's progressing nice, these last couple weeks," reported Trout, which is positive news for the fantasy managers who have been without him since mid-May because […]

Kyle Freeland On Track To Start On Saturday

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Kyle Freeland (hamstring) is on track to start on Saturday night against St. Louis. Freeland left Monday's matchup against the Pirates after dealing with cramping while running the bases. However, after making progress throughout the week, it now appears he should be good to go, barring a last-minute setback. If he […]

Dinelson Lamet Plays Catch This Week

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Dinelson Lamet (forearm) played catch with a weighted ball on Wednesday and baseball on Thursday. He also reported that he is feeling better, which is good news after he landed on the 10-day injured list nearly a week ago because of right forearm inflammation. The 28-year-old has played well enough […]

Chris Archer Throws Sim Inning

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Chris Archer (forearm) tossed a simulated game on Friday. The outing only lasted an inning. However, he appears to be moving in a promising direction after being out for months because of tendinitis. Although the righty hasn't been the most consistent fantasy option, he has had some favorable outings over […]

Evan White Not Close To Resuming Activities

Seattle Mariners first baseman Evan White (hip) isn't close to resuming baseball activities. White currently holds a spot on the 60-day injured list, and after suffering a setback during a rehab stint with Triple-A Tacoma, it now appears it may be a while before he is back on the field. The 25-year-old hasn't lived up […]

Justin Dunn To Begin Throwing Program Soon

Seattle Mariners Starting Pitcher Justin Dunn (shoulder) is anticipated to start a throwing program sometime in the next few days. Dunn has been out of the lineup for a few weeks now after being diagnosed with a strained right shoulder. While the news is encouraging, it is unlikely that the 25-year-old will be back anytime […]

Trevor Cahill Sent To 60-Day Injured List

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Trevor Cahill (calf) was transferred to the 60-day injured list on Friday. Cahill has been dealing with a left calf strain for almost a month, and it appears as if things aren't moving in the right direction. It's unlikely fantasy managers will miss him, though, especially considering how bad he has […]

David Peterson Sent To The 10-Day Injured List

New York Mets starting pitcher David Peterson (side) landed on the 10-day injured list on Friday. The southpaw exited Wednesday's start against Atlanta because of side discomfort after just three innings of work. Peterson has taken a step back after posting a 6-2 record in 2020, and he is currently sporting a reversed 2-6 record […]

Marcus Stroman Activated From Bereavement List

New York Mets starting pitcher Marcus Stroman (personal) was activated from the bereavement list on Friday. The veteran only spent a few days with the designation, and the announcement opens the door for him to make his scheduled start against the Yankees on Saturday. Stroman has been a relatively consistent source of production for fantasy […]

Taylor Widener To Have Another Rehab Start Saturday

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Taylor Widener (groin) is scheduled to throw another rehab session on Saturday. This will be Widener's second start at High-A Hillsboro as he continues to ramp up his activity level. The team will likely play it safe with the 26-year-old by not rushing him back, primarily after being bothered by the […]

Knicks Rumored To Target Kelly Oubre Jr.

Forward Kelly Oubre Jr. is reportedly considered a top free-agent target for the Knicks during the offseason. As the team attempts to fill the void at the point guard position, Oubre could be an attractive commodity and help the organization land a big name. The 25-year-old has proven to be one of the most dynamic […]

Kemba Walker To Los Angeles?

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Kemba Walker could find himself in Los Angeles for the 2021-22 campaign, possibly suiting up for the Lakers or Clippers. The veteran was recently traded to OKC from Boston in exchange for Al Horford, although Walker may never see the floor for his current team. With both L.A. organizations in need […]

Sixers Reportedly Interested In Damian Lillard

Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard is rumored to be on the Sixers' radar heading into the 2021-22 season. The veteran, who is under contract throughout the 2024-25 campaign after signing a supermax extension a few years ago, has reportedly grown frustrated with the direction of his current employer. Of course, a trade involving Lillard […]

Victor Oladipo May Not Play Next Season

Guard Victor Oladipo (quadriceps) could miss the entire 2021-22 season. Oladipo was once considered one of the top up-and-coming young stars in the league, primarily after he averaged 23.1 points per game with the Pacers during the 2018 campaign. However, constant quad injuries and surgeries have derailed his career, and as a result, he's appeared […]

Hunter Harvey Dealing With Shoulder Issue

Baltimore Orioles pitcher Hunter Harvey (shoulder) is considered day-to-day. The 26-year-old was due to enter the game against Houston on Wednesday night, but he was ultimately held out after experiencing right shoulder discomfort while warming up. The news is concerning, primarily since he has already spent most of the year on the 60-day IL because […]

Kolten Wong Aggravates Calf Issue

Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Kolten Wong (calf) exited Thursday's matchup against Pittsburgh. The timing isn't good, primarily since the veteran missed three games already this week because of the ailment. With the calf tightness not going away, it wouldn't be unreasonable to assume that Wong may be nearing a stint on the 10-day injured list. […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic Available For Game 5

Atlanta Hawks forward Bogdan Bogdanovic (knee) is available to play against the Bucks on Thursday evening. Bogdanovic has been a frequent occupant on the team's official injury report over the last few weeks but has continued to play despite the ailment. With Trae Young (foot) out of the lineup for Game 5 of the Eastern […]

Clint Capela Available On Thursday Evening

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (eye) will be in the lineup for Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Thursday night. Capela was forced out of Game 4 on Tuesday after taking an accidental elbow to the face. While it's fortunate that the former Rocket will give it a go against Milwaukee, he has […]

Trae Young Out For Game 5

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (foot) won't be available for Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Hawks. While Young reported that he is feeling better, he still isn't healthy enough to suit up as he continues to deal with a bruised right foot. With the series knotted up, there is a chance […]

Patrick Wisdom Dealing With Neck Tightness

Chicago Cubs infielder Patrick Wisdom (neck) is considered day-to-day. The 29-year-old left Wednesday's matchup against the Brewers after a collision with Milwaukee outfielder Tyrone Taylor. As a result, Wisdom is currently nursing a tight neck and a left eye contusion, and he is in jeopardy of missing some time moving ahead. The Cubs will have […]

Alex Jackson Reports For Rehab Stint

Atlanta Braves catcher Alex Jackson (hamstring, finger) reported for a rehab assignment at Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday. Jackson has been out of the mix for a few months while dealing with a left hamstring strain and a pinkie injury. However, the 25-year-old hasn't played well this season, batting just .043, and has also played sparingly. […]

Kole Calhoun Removed From Rehab Appearance

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Kole Calhoun (hamstring) was removed from Tuesday's contest at Triple-A Reno. This surely isn't the news that fantasy managers wanted to hear, primarily since the veteran appeared to be inching his way toward a return sometime in July after undergoing hamstring surgery a few months ago. The 33-year-old was playing well before […]

Ian Anderson Has Upside Against The Mets

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Ian Anderson will be on the bump against the Mets on Thursday. While Anderson's efficiency hasn't been captured by his 5-4 record this season, his 3.42 ERA makes him a viable option in nearly all fantasy formats. In June, the righty played relatively well, sporting a 3.71 ERA while averaging over […]

Christian Yelich Disappoints Again On Wednesday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich didn't play well during Wednesday's win over the Cubs. The 29-year-old went hitless against Chicago, going 0-for-5 while striking out three times. The veteran continues to disappoint and is a shade of what he was just a few seasons ago, currently batting .247 throughout 154 at-bats. While Yelich is playing […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Doubtful For Game 5

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is listed as doubtful on the league's official injury report ahead of Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Thursday night. The former MVP injured his left knee during the Game 4 loss to Atlanta. Fortunately, an MRI came back clean, although he is still in danger of […]

Kawhi Leonard Unlikely To Play In Western Conference Finals

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) is expected to miss the remainder of the Western Conference Finals. Leonard remains out while continuing to rehab from an undisclosed right knee injury. While the team has remained relatively silent regarding the severity of the ailment, some reports suggest that things aren't looking promising. There remains a […]

Trae Young Working To Play In Game 5

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (foot) is continuing his rehab effort as he works his way toward a potential Game 5 return. The 22-year-old is currently dealing with a bone bruise in his right foot, which kept him from seeing the floor during Game 4 on Tuesday night. Despite Young's shoddy shooting numbers, he has […]

Devin Booker Available On Wednesday

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (nose) is listed as available for Wednesday's matchup against the Clippers. Booker suffered a nasal fracture after colliding with Patrick Beverley in Game 2. He struggled throughout the following two games as a result, but he bounced back on Monday night to finish with 31 points while shooting 4-for-6 from […]

Cam Reddish Likely To See More Minutes

Atlanta Hawks forward Cam Reddish was going to be a part of the team's rotation in Game 4 against the Bucks, regardless of Trae Young's (foot) availability, according to head coach Nate McMillan. Reddish was an infrequent presence throughout the first three games of the series, but he made up for it on Tuesday by […]

Kawhi Leonard Out For Game 6

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) won't play in Game 6 against Phoenix. This isn't news, primarily since the veteran is rumored to be dealing with a significant right knee injury. Without Leonard in the mix, it should continue to be business as usual, with Paul George monopolizing the offensive chances. Reggie Jackson, who […]
