Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Michael Fulmer (shoulder) remains on the 10-day injured list because of a strained right shoulder.

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Jon Gray (forearm) is with the team for its six-game road trip against Miami and Cincinnati. The veteran is only slated to miss one start after recently landing on the 10-day injured list because of a right forearm flexor strain and could begin playing catch as early as Wednesday. He could […]

Trevor Story “Very Close” To A Return

Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story (elbow) is "very close" to making his return, according to manager Bud Black. After early rumblings that the veteran would be good to go by Tuesday, he is now expected to be activated on Wednesday. Story has been out since the end of May due to right elbow inflammation, so […]

Cleveland Indians catcher Roberto Perez (finger) began throwing on Tuesday.

Perez currently sits on the 60-day injured list but is sporting a miserable .131 batting average throughout […]

Zach Plesac To Begin Throwing Soon

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Zach Plesac (thumb) is slated to begin throwing this week.

Sonny Gray Leaves Thursday’s Start

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Sonny Gray left Tuesday's start against the Brewers. It's unknown what exactly caused Gray's early departure, although it certainly isn't welcome news for fantasy managers.

Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley (hamstring) is questionable for the series opener against the Clippers.

De’Andre Hunter Questionable For Game 2

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (knee) is questionable for the postseason showdown against the 76ers on Tuesday night.

The 23-year-old was a crucial component in the […]

Spencer Dinwiddie Not Expected Back Anytime Soon

Brooklyn Nets guard Spencer Dinwiddie (knee) isn't anticipated to play again this season. While the Nets are favored to take a trip to the NBA Finals, head coach Steve Nash expects the 28-year-old to remain in Los Angeles to continue his rehab efforts.

An MRI on Harden's right hamstring revealed no structural […]

Aaron Sanchez Reports For Rehab Assignment

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Aaron Sanchez (biceps) reported to Triple-A Sacramento on Monday to begin his rehab assignment. Sanchez has been out for about a month now while dealing with biceps tightness. The righty has a 1-1 record and a 3.18 ERA throughout six starts this season, so fantasy managers in deeper formats are […]

Tony Gonsolin Expected To Start On Wednesday

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tony Gonsolin (shoulder) is expected to start Wednesday's matchup against Pittsburgh. This will be Gonsolin's season debut as he sat on the injured list since Spring Training because of right shoulder inflammation.

Huascar Ynoa Not Expected Back Until August

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Huascar Ynoa (hand) isn't expected back until late August. The 23-year-old was transferred to the 60-day injured list a week ago due to a fractured right hand, so this isn't a surprise, although the latest news provides a bit more clarity for fantasy managers. Ynoa has a 3.02 ERA and a […]

Spencer Turnbull Receives Positive News

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Spencer Turnbull (forearm) received an MRI on Sunday. Manager A.J. Hinch was pleased with the results, indicating that further evaluation showed that the forearm is "structurally sound."

Tyler Naquin Could Return On Tuesday

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Tyler Naquin (hamstring) could return for Tuesday's series opener against Milwaukee. Naquin left Sunday's matchup against St. Louis with left hamstring tightness, but it appears that he will be good to go with a few day's rest. The veteran is batting .257 to go along with 38 RBI, 20 runs, 11 dingers, […]

Nick Senzel Expected Back In Mid-July

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Nick Senzel (knee) is expected to return in mid-July. Senzel had surgery over a week ago to address inflammation in his left knee and landed on the 10-day injured list as a result. However, with a .261 average, fantasy managers outside of dynasty formats can safely drop him without looking back.

Trevor Williams Plays Catch On Sunday

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Trevor Williams (appendix) was observed playing catch on Sunday, a good sign after he recently underwent an emergency appendectomy. The 29-year-old is currently sitting on the 10-day injured list and could be ready to pitch sometime in mid-June. However, with a 5.36 ERA on the year, it's unlikely any fantasy managers […]

Alec Mills Looks Good In Rehab Start

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Alec Mills (back) threw 60 pitches during his most recent rehab start for Triple-A Iowa, logging six scoreless innings while striking out four batters.

Rockies Hopeful Jon Gray Misses Only One Start

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Jon Gray (forearm) may miss just one chance through the rotation. The 29-year-old landed on the 10-day injured list with a right forearm flexor strain, retroactive to June 5, so there is a hope that he is back for the upcoming home stands against either the Padres or Brewers. While Gray […]
