Logan Webb To Throw In A Sim Inning

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Logan Webb (shoulder) will toss in a simulated inning this week. The 24-year-old played well before going down because of a strained right shoulder, compiling a record of 4-3 and a 3.86 ERA, with 54 strikeouts, throughout nine starts this year. Though the righty still has a way to go, […]

Enoli Paredes Heading To Sugar Land

Houston Astros starting pitcher Enoli Paredes (shoulder) will report to Sugar Land for a rehab assignment within the next week. The 25-year-old currently resides on the 10-day injured list after he was diagnosed with a strained shoulder following a matchup against Boston a few weeks ago. Paredes is sporting a miserable 6.23 ERA out of […]

Trevor Williams Almost Ready For Rehab

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Trevor Williams (appendix) is nearing a rehab assignment. The right-hander has been out since the beginning of June after undergoing an emergency appendectomy, and he most recently threw a simulated inning off the bump on Tuesday. Alec Mills has been filling in as a member of the rotation and is worth […]

David Bote Could Begin Rehab Stint Soon

Chicago Cubs second baseman David Bote (shoulder) could begin a rehab assignment as early as next week. The 28-year-old has been out for about a month now after dislocating his left shoulder during a matchup against the Cincinnati Reds. However, it's unlikely he's missed much by anyone, primarily after batting just .201 throughout 161 plate […]

Justin Dunn Visits A Specialist

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Justin Dunn (shoulder) recently visited a specialist, with the team expected to provide an update over the weekend. Dunn remains out of the lineup after he was diagnosed with a muscle strain in his right shoulder nearly a week ago. The righty was initially expected to be shut down for two […]

Travis Blankenhorn Called Up From Syracuse

New York Mets second baseman Travis Blankenhorn was recalled from Triple-A on Friday. The 24-year-old, who was optioned just two weeks ago, will suit up for another stint with the big club after Jonathan Villar (calf) was placed on the 10-day injured reserve. The 24-year-old hasn't done much outside of Syracuse, compiling just one hit […]

Jonathan Villar Placed On 10-Day Injured List

New York Mets second baseman Jonathan Villar (calf) has been placed on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to June 22. Villar suffered a right calf strain during Monday's doubleheader against the Atlanta Braves but likely won't need to spend much time on the shelf. However, with the Mets dealing with a plethora of injuries, the […]

Abdel Nader Cleared For Action

Phoenix Suns guard Abdel Nader (knee) has been cleared to play and is expected to be available for Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals.

Bogdan Bogdanovic Good For Game 2

Atlanta Hawks guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (knee) is available for Friday's matchup against Milwaukee. Bogdanovic has been dealing with soreness in his right knee and carried the same designation heading into the series opener on Wednesday, so his availability isn't a surprise by any means. However, he was obviously plagued by the ailment, finishing the Game […]

Cameron Payne Could Miss Saturday’s Contest

Phoenix Suns guard Cameron Payne (ankle) could miss the Game 4 matchup against the Clippers. The 26-year-old injured his left ankle during Thursday's loss to Los Angeles and was relegated to just four minutes as a result. Chris Paul (illness) returned for Game 3 after being sidelined due to COVID-19, so Payne probably wouldn't have […]

Marcus Morris Sr. Questionable Against Suns

Los Angeles Clippers forward Marcus Morris Sr. (knee) is considered a game-time call against the Suns on Saturday evening. Morris has been plagued by left knee soreness since injuring it in Game 1 on Sunday. While there is a good chance that the veteran will be available, he could be relegated to a lesser role, […]

Kawhi Leonard Won’t Play In Game 4

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) won't play on Saturday night against Phoenix. This isn't a surprise, primarily since there have been rumblings that the veteran may not be back for the rest of the postseason as he continues to deal with an ACL injury in his right knee. Of course, Paul George should […]

Niko Goodrum Not Close To Returning

Detroit Tigers infielder Niko Goodrum (finger) hasn't resumed baseball activities. Goodrum is currently on the 10-day injured list as he continues to try to work his way back from a sprained left index finger. While the 29-year-old hasn't done much in most areas, his 12 stolen bases throughout 59 games should keep him somewhat relevant […]

Spencer Turnbull Likely Out Until After Break

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Spencer Turnbull (forearm) isn't expected to return until after the All-Star break. The veteran currently owns a 4-2 record and a 2.88 ERA throughout nine starts this season. He has been out of the lineup since the beginning of June due to a strained forearm and just recently began a throwing […]

J.B. Bukauskas Continues To Make Progress

Arizona Diamondbacks relief pitcher J.B. Bukauskas (forearm) remains without a firm return date. However, he recently threw 23 pitches in a simulated game on Tuesday, which is good news as he continues to work his way back from a strained elbow. The 24-year-old logged a 1-1 record throughout 11 games but was sporting a miserable […]

Madison Bumgarner Throws Bullpen Session

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Madison Bumgarner (shoulder) logged a bullpen session on Monday, throwing 20 pitches in total. However, the lefty still has a way to go after being out since the start of June with left shoulder inflammation. With the rotation also missing Taylor Widener (groin), J.B. Bukauskas (elbow), and Seth Frankoff (forearm), Corbin […]

Taylor Widener Throws In Simulated Game

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Taylor Widener (groin) threw in a simulated game on Wednesday, tossing 23 pitches throughout just one inning. The righty has been out for over a month now because of a strained groin. However, he appears to be making progress as he has also recently been participating in bullpen sessions before the […]

Corey Seager Not Ready For Rehab Assignment

Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Corey Seager (hand) is not quite ready to begin a rehab assignment, according to skipper Dave Roberts. The 27-year-old has been out since mid-May because of a fractured right hand. However, after experiencing soreness recently, the team will play it safe and delay things a bit, although it isn't known if […]

Kurt Suzuki Exits Wednesday’s Matchup

Los Angeles Angels catcher Kurt Suzuki (head) exited Wednesday's matchup against the Giants. The veteran took a foul ball to the mask in the 12th inning with nobody out. As a result, and with the team out of position players, Taylor Ward switched over from left field to take over as the emergency backstop. Suzuki […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic Questionable Against Milwaukee

Atlanta Hawks guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (knee) is questionable for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals. The veteran has been dealing with right knee soreness, although he still managed to take the floor and log 21 minutes during the Game 7 win over Philly. However, he was obviously impacted on Sunday, finishing with just four […]

Kevin Huerter Likely To Suit Up On Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks guard Kevin Huerter (ankle) is likely to suit up for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Bucks. The 22-year-old is currently dealing with a sore left ankle. However, that didn't stop him from dropping a team-high 27 points on 10-for-18 shooting during the Game 7 win over Philadelphia. With Bogdan […]

Cam Reddish Questionable For Game 1

Atlanta Hawks forward Cam Reddish (Achilles) was upgraded to questionable ahead of Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals against Milwaukee. The sophomore was relegated to only 26 games this season because of the ailment, and while he appears to be fully healthy, conditioning is now the biggest concern. Nonetheless, if the 21-year-old is in […]

Spencer Dinwiddie Cleared From Knee Injury

Brooklyn Nets guard Spencer Dinwiddie (knee) has been cleared to resume basketball activities. Dinwiddie played just three games this season before succumbing to a partial ACL tear in his right knee. The 28-year-old is expected to decline his $12.3 million option to test the market heading into the 2021-22 campaign, so teams will undoubtedly want […]

Cameron Payne Getting The Start For Game 2

Phoenix Suns guard Cameron Payne will once again start on Tuesday against the Los Angeles Clippers. Payne got the nod in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals opener, finishing with 11 points through 29 minutes, although he was limited because of foul trouble. As a result, Cameron Johnson stepped up, logging 24 minutes and […]

Patrick Beverley Enters The Starting Lineup

Los Angeles Clippers guard Patrick Beverley will start in Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals against Phoenix on Tuesday. It appears as if head coach Tyronn Lue will go heavy on the defensive end, at least to start the game. Beverley has played sparingly throughout the postseason, recently logging just 15 minutes to finish […]

Ivica Zubac Starting On Tuesday

Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac will start in Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals. Zubac had nine points throughout 18 minutes of work during the loss to Phoenix on Sunday, but it appears that he will have a more prominent role on Tuesday evening. With this move, Nicolas Batum will head back to […]

Marcus Morris Sr. Starting In Game 2

Los Angeles Clippers forward Marcus Morris Sr. (knee) is starting in Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals against the Suns. While this isn't a surprise, primarily since the veteran wasn't listed on the league's official injury report, questions still swirled surrounding his availability on Tuesday night. The 31-year-old left Sunday's loss with a left […]

Ben Simmons To Skip Summer Olympics

Philadelphia 76ers guard Ben Simmons will not suit up for Australia for the 2021 Summer Olympics in Tokyo.

Marcus Morris Sr. Not On The Injury Report

Los Angeles Clippers forward Marcus Morris Sr. (knee) was absent from the league's latest injury report ahead of the showdown with the Suns on Tuesday night. The veteran exited Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals on Sunday after injuring his left knee, which opened the door for DeMarcus Cousins to enter the equation and […]

Chris Paul Out For Game 2 Of Conference Finals

Phoenix Suns guard Chris Paul remains out for Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals. Despite being vaccinated, the veteran recently tested positive for COVID-19. While Paul is currently showing no symptoms, he will need to clear health and safety protocols before returning to the floor for Game 3. Until then, Cameron Payne should continue […]
