Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Tejay Antone wasn't available for Thursday's matchup against Milwaukee.

Antone has played well this season, currently owning a 1-0 record and a 1.14 ERA, with […]

Aristides Aquino Could Be Activated Soon

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Aristides Aquino (wrist) could be activated as early as Sunday's matchup against the Rockies. The 27-year-old had surgery on his hamate bone in April and has slowly been working his way back since, recently participating in a rehab assignment at Triple-A Louisville. Aquino is batting .231 this season but may have a […]

Adalberto Mondesi Spotted Taking Batting Practice

Kansas City Royals shortstop Adalberto Mondesi (hamstring) was observed taking batting practice on Tuesday. The speedster is currently on the 10-day injured list because of a left hamstring ailment, but it appears as if he is trending in the right direction. Mondesi has played well this season despite the small sample size, batting .360 to […]

Trevor Story Could Be Activated By Thursday

Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story (elbow) could be activated for Thursday's matchup against Miami, according to skipper Bud Black. The veteran was expected back on Tuesday or Wednesday, so fantasy managers should take Black's recent prediction with a grain of salt. Story has been out since the end of May because of right elbow inflammation, […]

Tyler Naquin Should Be Back Soon

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Tyler Naquin (hamstring) isn't expected to need an IL stint. The veteran injured his left hamstring during Sunday's outing against the Cardinals, and he hasn't been back in the lineup since. However, skipper David Bell didn't seem too overly concerned, so it appears as if Naquin could be back at some point […]

Matt Peacock Injured On Wednesday

Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Matt Peacock (finger) left Wednesday's matchup against the Athletics. Peacock injured his right ring finger while attempting to barehand a Jed Lowrie comebacker, and while X-rays were negative, he was diagnosed with numbness. The righty is 2-3 throughout five starts this season while also racking up a 5.24 ERA to go along […]

Taylor Widener Making Progress

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Taylor Widener (groin) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session soon. Widener has recently been throwing from 90-feet, a positive sign after he has spent multiple trips on the injured list due to a right groin strain. Widener has played sparingly this season but still has fantasy value in deeper leagues […]

Zac Gallen Scheduled For Another Bullpen Session

Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Zac Gallen (elbow) went through a simulated game on Monday, throwing 32 pitches, and is scheduled to participate in another bullpen session by Thursday. Gallen suffered a sprained elbow back on May 7 and has remained on the injured list ever since. The 25-year-old currently holds a 1-0 record and a 2.63 […]

Aledmys Diaz Officially Lands On The IL

Houston Astros utility man Aledmys Diaz (hand) was officially placed on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. The veteran has a fractured left hand, an injury he sustained after getting drilled by a 92 mph pitch during an at-bat on Saturday against Toronto. Nonetheless, Diaz's designation is misleading as he is projected to remain out […]

Tigers Hopeful Michael Fulmer Doesn’t Miss Much Time

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Michael Fulmer (shoulder) remains on the 10-day injured list because of a strained right shoulder. However, the team is hopeful that he won't miss much time beyond his current stint on the IL, primarily after recent examinations were positive.

Jon Gray Traveling With The Team

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. The veteran recently had a pin removed from his right ring finger, a positive sign after fracturing it about a month ago during a matchup against Kansas City. 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. Plesac is currently dealing with a broken right thumb, so this latest development is a step in the right direction. The 26-year-old is a serviceable fantasy option when the matchup is right and is currently sitting on a 4-3 record and […]

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. Overall, the veteran was having a productive outing, recording five strikeouts throughout just three innings of work. More information regarding his status moving ahead will likely […]

Michael Kopech Experiencing Discomfort

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Michael Kopech (hamstring) has taken a step back in his attempt to get back on the mound. The right-hander is experiencing discomfort in his left hamstring, which is unfortunate news, primarily after Tony Russa recently reported that he was moving in the right direction toward a return. Kopech is already […]

Joel Embiid Back On The Injury Report For Game 2

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) is questionable for the Game 2 matchup against Atlanta.

However, the injury didn't slow him down, finishing the series opener against […]

Serge Ibaka Doubtful For Series Opener

Los Angeles Clippers forward Serge Ibaka (back) is listed as doubtful for the series opener against the Jazz.

The Clippers went with small-ball lineups during the series against the Mavericks, which opened up the […]

Mike Conley Dealing With Hamstring Soreness

Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley (hamstring) is questionable for the series opener against the Clippers. The veteran is dealing with right hamstring soreness, a frequent ailment for him throughout the years. He was relegated to just 12 minutes of work on Thursday against the Grizzlies, and although he managed to practice a bit on Monday, […]

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. Hunter didn't play for the series opener on Sunday because of a sore right knee, although he appeared to be trending in the right direction heading into the contest. 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. Dinwiddie suffered a partially torn ACL in his right knee earlier in […]

Jeff Green Potentially Nearing A Return

Brooklyn Nets forward Jeff Green (foot) is "progressing nicely," according to head coach Steve Nash.

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. Although he will likely have his pitch count monitored closely, he will have a favorable matchup against one […]

Mike Trout Likely To Ramp Up Workouts Soon

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (calf) was "pleased" with his workout on Monday. The former MVP also reported that he "intends to begin jogging soon," a good sign as he continues to work his way back from a Grade 2 calf strain. The slugger has been on the shelf since mid-May and is expected […]

Chris Sale May Face Batters Soon

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Chris Sale (elbow) may soon be ready to face hitters. "Things are trending up," reported manager Alex Cora when asked about Sale's progression.

Braves Hopeful Travis d’Arnaud Could Return In August

Atlanta Braves catcher Travis d'Arnaud (thumb) still doesn't have a concrete return date, although team officials are hopeful he can make it back sometime in August.

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."
