Erik Swanson Heading To The 10-Day IL

Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Erik Swanson (groin) is heading to the 10-day injured list. The 27-year-old recorded his first save of the year on Friday against the Rangers, so the timing isn't good. Swanson has a 0.69 ERA and 14 strikeouts throughout 13 innings of work this season. Fantasy managers hoping to capitalize on a […]

Kent Emanuel Will Seek A Second Opinion

Houston Astros relief pitcher Kent Emanuel (elbow) will seek a second opinion. The southpaw was pulled from Tuesday's matchup against the Los Angeles Dodgers due to elbow discomfort and was subsequently placed on the injured list as a result. Although the injury didn't appear serious, at least initially, a trip to another specialist certainly isn't […]

Julio Teheran Still Not Throwing

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Julio Teheran (shoulder) has yet to begin throwing. The righty was placed on the injured list back in April due to a right shoulder strain and has been restricted from tossing ever since. Although an exact timetable for his return is unknown, fantasy managers may see him back on the bump […]

Trevor Story To Undergo Further Testing

Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story (elbow) will undergo further testing by Tuesday. Story landed on the 10-day injured list due to right shoulder inflammation, and it is unknown whether or not the injury is more severe than initially thought. The 28-year-old is batting .255 this season to go along with 26 runs, 23 RBI, eight […]

David Bote Has A Separated Shoulder

Chicago Cubs second baseman David Bote (shoulder) is likely heading to the injured list. The 28-year-old suffered a separated left shoulder during Saturday's affair with the Reds and was subsequently removed from the contest as a result. Although he hasn't officially been listed as anything other than day-to-day, fantasy managers should expect an announcement regarding […]

Hunter Harvey Progressing Well

Baltimore Orioles relief pitcher Hunter Harvey (oblique) is moving in the right direction during his rehab assignment at Triple-A Norfolk. The 26-year-old hasn't appeared in a game this season after sustaining the injury during Spring Training. Although he didn't play as well in 2020 as he did the year before, Harvey is capable of making […]

Trey Mancini Still Day-To-Day

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Trey Mancini (elbow) wasn't in the starting lineup for both games of Saturday's doubleheader against Chicago. The veteran suffered a bruised elbow after getting hit by a pitch on Thursday against the White Sox and was subsequently absent on Friday as well. Although the injury doesn't appear to be anything serious, the […]

Cristian Pache Moving In The Right Direction

Atlanta Braves outfielder Cristian Pache (hamstring) will be on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Gwinnett. Pache landed on the injured list a few weeks ago due to a left hamstring strain, and he also dealt with a groin injury earlier in the year. The 22-year-old has struggled during the 2021 campaign, batting just .111 through […]

Max Kepler Possibly Heading To The Injured List

Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler (hamstring) may require a trip to the injured list, according to manager Rocco Baldelli. The veteran was removed from Saturday's matchup against Kansas City after suffering a left hamstring strain. Kepler is sporting a .212 batting average to go along with 28 hits, 22 RBI, 20 runs, and five homers. […]

Kenta Maeda May Be Out Longer

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Kenta Maeda (groin) could be out longer than anticipated. Maeda threw a bullpen session on Friday, although the outing revealed that he was progressing slower than expected. The 33-year-old last took the hill on May 22 against the Cleveland Indians and was initially supposed to return at the beginning of June. […]

Mookie Betts Gets Saturday Off

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts will get the night off on Saturday against the visiting Giants. With the 28-year-old recently dealing with a shoulder issue, the move appears precautionary. Cody Bellinger (leg) will also be making his return to bat cleanup, while Albert Pujols will slide over to cover first.

Cody Bellinger Batting Cleanup

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Cody Bellinger (leg) is batting cleanup on Saturday against the visiting Giants. The 25-year-old fractured his fibula earlier in the year and hasn't played since. Bellinger will reclaim his role in the center, while Albert Pujols will man first base.

MRI On Jordan Luplow Comes Back Clean

Cleveland Indians outfielder Jordan Luplow (ankle) had an MRI on Friday. The results were positive as it revealed no structural damage to his left ankle. He could return sometime within the first few weeks of June, although an extended absence beyond that is possible. Luplow is batting just .173 this season, so fantasy managers in […]

Nick Senzel Could Miss Up To Six Weeks

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Nick Senzel (knee) could miss up to six weeks after undergoing surgery on Friday. Senzel landed on the 10-day injured list last week due to inflammation in his left knee. However, he is batting just .252 this season, so fantasy managers shouldn't feel bad for parting ways with him, especially those who […]

Adam Eaton Absent Again

Chicago White Sox outfielder Adam Eaton (hamstring) didn't play during either game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Orioles. The veteran left Wednesday's matchup against the Cardinals due to hamstring tightness and has been considered day-to-day ever since. Eaton has struggled this season, batting a career-worst .199 to go along with 38 strikeouts through 136 at-bats. […]

Anthony Rizzo Out Again On Saturday

Chicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo (back) didn't start on Saturday against the Reds. This marks the veteran's fourth consecutive absence from the starting lineup due to stiffness, although he has been available to pinch-hit. Rizzo remains day-to-day, but fantasy managers could see the 31-year-old take a trip to the injured list if his condition […]

Christian Walker Working His Wack Back

Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Christian Walker (oblique) appears to be trending in the right direction after completing his fourth Triple-A game on Friday. The veteran has been dealing with a right oblique strain, which caused him to miss multiple games this season. Walker has been on the injured list since May 11 and is currently […]

Mitchell Robinson Remains Without Return Date

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (foot) remains without a timetable for his return. The big man sustained a broken fifth metatarsal in his right foot back in March, an injury that required surgery. Mitchell also dealt with a broken hand throughout the season, so Thibs may play it safe by holding him out for […]

Serge Ibaka Uncertain For Game 4

Los Angeles Clippers forward Serge Ibaka (back) may not play on Sunday against the Mavericks. The veteran is labeled as day-to-day, and he was scratched from Friday's Game 3 win in Dallas. Ibaka missed time toward the end of the regular season with the same issue, so it wouldn't be a surprise if he doesn't […]

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Day-To-Day

Los Angeles Lakers guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (knee) is considered day-to-day and may not play on Sunday against the Suns. The sharpshooter suffered a left knee bruise during the Game 3 win over Phoenix, but after an MRI showed no structural damage, there is still a chance he may be in uniform for Game 4. However, […]

Donte DiVincenzo Done For The Year

Milwaukee Bucks guard Donte DiVincenzo (foot) is done for the year. The 24-year-old injured a tendon in his left foot during the Game 3 rout over the Heat, opening the door for Bryn Forbes to rack up 11 points, three boards, and a steal throughout 20 minutes of work. Forbes will likely start on Saturday […]

Tobias Harris Expected To Play On Saturday

Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (ankle) is expected to play on Saturday against the Wizards. The veteran injured his left ankle during the Game 2 win but was able to practice on Friday. Harris is averaging 28 points throughout the first two games of the postseason and should remain on the DFS radar, although he […]

Anthony Davis Dealing With Knee Ailment

Los Angeles Lakers forward Anthony Davis (knee) is considered day-to-day, putting his Game 4 availability against Phoenix in jeopardy. Davis suffered a hyperextended left knee during the win over the Suns on Thursday. However, with the Lakers looking to make some moves toward the next round, it would be surprising if the big man wasn't […]

Jeff Green To Sit Again On Sunday

Brooklyn Nets forward Jeff Green (foot) won't play in Game 4 against Boston. The veteran strained his plantar fascia in his left foot and is due to be re-evaluated after 10 days. In the meantime, expect Blake Griffin and Nicolas Claxton to split most of the work at the four spot. Both men combined for […]

Robert Williams III Remains Day-To-Day

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (toe) is considered day-to-day, making his status uncertain for the Game 4 matchup against Brooklyn. The big man logged just six minutes on Friday during the win over the Nets and continues to be bothered by turf toe sustained toward the end of the regular season. Tristan Thompson, who […]

Russell Westbrook Remains A Game-Time Call

Washington Wizards guard Russell Westbrook (ankle) is a game-time call for Saturday's matchup against the Wizards. The triple-double king didn't practice on Friday after spraining his right ankle in Game 2, so he has a legit shot at not being in uniform against Washington. If he is out, expect Ish Smith to take over things […]

Seth Curry Likely To Play Against Wizards

Philadelphia 76ers guard Seth Curry (ankle) will likely be in uniform on Saturday against the Wizards. Curry sustained a left ankle sprain during Game 2 on Wednesday, but it appears as if he will be good to go. The 30-year-old is averaging 12 points throughout the first two games of the postseason. However, he has […]

PJ Dozier To Miss Game 4

Denver Nuggets guard PJ Dozier (hip) will remain out ahead of Saturday's postseason matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers. This isn't a surprise, as Dozier's availability for the remainder of the playoffs is still a mystery. In his stead, Austin Rivers and Facundo Campazzo should continue to start, with Monte Morris likely receiving an equal […]

Will Barton Out Again On Saturday

Denver Nuggets forward Will Barton (hamstring) won't play during the Game 4 clash against Portland. The veteran hasn't been available for over a month while dealing with a strained right hamstring, and while he was rumored to be available at some point during the series, things aren't looking promising. The Nuggets may continue to play […]
