Michael Kopech Progressing Well

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Michael Kopech (hamstring) is "progressing well," according to manager Tony La Russa. This is good news for the 25-year-old, who has two wins across three starts while sporting a respectable 1.72 ERA throughout 31 innings of work this season. Kopech is eligible to come off the 10-day injured list in […]

Jake Marisnick Could Be Back On Monday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Jake Marisnick (hamstring) could return for the upcoming three-game stand against the Padres, which begins on Monday.

Although there was a chance that the veteran could have returned during the team's recent trip […]

Joc Pederson Remains Day-To-Day

Chicago Cubs outfielder Joc Pederson (back) wasn't in the lineup on Sunday for the series finale against San Francisco.

Joel Embiid Will Play In Game 1

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) will play during the series opener against the Hawks. Embiid is currently dealing with a small meniscus tear in his right knee and wasn't available for the Game 5 win over the Wizards. While it is certainly welcome news for fantasy managers and fans alike, it's realistic to expect […]

James Harden Day-To-Day

Brooklyn Nets guard James Harden (hamstring) is considered day-to-day. Harden played just one minute during Saturday's win over the Bucks before exiting with a right hamstring injury. The former MVP dealt with the same ailment toward the end of the regular season and was forced to miss significant time. He will have an MRI, but […]

Serge Ibaka Doubtful For Game 7

Dallas Mavericks forward Serge Ibaka (back) is doubtful for Sunday's matchup against the Mavericks. This really isn't news, primarily since the big man has been plagued by the back issue for months now and only appeared sparingly during the first two games of the series. L.A. should continue to utilize small-ball lineups, which should allow […]

Maxi Kleber Expected To Play In Game 7

Dallas Mavericks forward Maxi Kleber (Achilles) should play in the series finale against the Clippers. Kleber has carried the same designation throughout the series but has still been in the lineup, averaging 6.2 points and 4.2 rebounds throughout 29.7 minutes per game. Although he routinely doesn't contribute much from a fantasy perspective, he still has […]

Luka Doncic Probable For Finale

De’Andre Hunter Questionable Against Philly

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (knee) is questionable to play for the series opener against Philadelphia. Hunter dealt with right knee soreness throughout the first-round matchup against the Knicks but still was able to log 30 minutes while averaging 10.8 points and four rebounds per contest. Although he isn't the most reliable option on the […]

Aledmys Diaz Exits Saturday’s Game Due To Injury

Houston Astros second baseman Aledmys Diaz (hand) exited Saturday's game against Toronto. Diaz was nailed by a pitch in the fourth inning and was officially diagnosed with a left-hand contusion. While the injury could have been worse, it certainly isn't welcome news for fantasy managers who have enjoyed his uptick in production this season. There […]

Jon Gray Moves To The IL

Colorado Rockies pitcher Jon Gray (elbow) has landed on the 10-day injured list. The veteran was forced out of Friday's matchup against Oakland with right elbow soreness. He was initially listed as day-to-day, but apparently, the team believes it will take him a while to make it back from the ailment. Chi Chi Gonzalez will […]

Billy Hamilton Removed From Saturday’s Matchup

Chicago White Sox outfielder Billy Hamilton (side) was removed from Saturday's contest against the Detroit Tigers.

Regardless, it doesn't sound good, so fantasy managers should prepare for an […]

Seth Frankoff Lands On The Injured List

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Seth Frankoff (forearm) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. Frankoff is dealing with right forearm tightness, but with a shotty 0-2 record and a miserable 9.20 ERA, he is likely not on the roster in many fantasy leagues anyway. Fantasy managers who find him floating around as a free […]

Chris Devenski Undergoes Tommy John Surgery

Arizona Diamondbacks relief pitcher Chris Devenski (elbow) underwent Tommy John surgery on Saturday and is done for the remainder of the year. The 30-year-old hasn't done much for this to impact fantasy managers, sporting an 8.59 ERA throughout just seven innings of work this season. Devenski may also begin next season on the injury list. […]

Joc Pederson Pulled From Saturday’s Matchup

Chicago Cubs outfielder Joc Pederson (back) exited Saturday's matchup against San Francisco. The 29-year-old was struggling at the plate before being yanked in the fifth inning because of lower back tightness. More information on his status moving ahead is sure to come soon. However, fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for the time being.

Yadier Molina Exits Saturday’s Contest

St. Louis Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina (knee) was removed from Saturday's matchup against the Reds. The veteran is currently dealing with a bruised left knee, with an update on his status moving ahead likely coming sometime soon.

Jon Gray Day-To-Day For Now

Colorado Rockies pitcher Jon Gray (elbow) remains day-to-day. The 29-year-old was forced to exit Friday's outing against the Athletics with right elbow soreness. An update on his status moving ahead should come over the next day or so. However, it wouldn't be unreasonable to expect the veteran to miss a trip through the rotation, or […]

Elieser Hernandez Transferred To 60-Day Injured List

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Elieser Hernandez (quadriceps) was officially transferred to the 60-day injured list on Saturday. The strain is classified as "severe," and it comes after the righty recently returned from a two-month absence because of biceps inflammation. The 26-year-old hasn't done much this season, racking up a 3.68 ERA and nine strikeouts throughout […]

Max Muncy Considered Day-To-Day

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Max Muncy (ankle) is listed as day-to-day. Muncy left Friday's matchup against the Braves due to right ankle pain, although manager Dave Roberts isn't too overly concerned, primarily since the 30-year-old attempted to play through the ailment. His status against Atlanta on Saturday remains a mystery, but it wouldn't be […]

Kolten Wong May Be Out Longer Than Expected

Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Kolten Wong (oblique) could be out longer than expected. The 30-year-old took a trip back to the 10-day injured list on Friday with a strained left oblique, his second stint on the IL this year because of the ailment. Skipper Craig Counsell indicated that it's too early to tell how long […]

Zach Eflin Will Now Start On Wednesday

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Zach Eflin had his start pushed back. Manager Joe Girardi originally had the righty scheduled to be on the bump against the Nationals on Saturday. However, due to Eflin's workload this season, the skipper opted to give him some additional rest, and he will now be in the lineup on Wednesday […]

Bryce Harper Officially Back In The Lineup On Saturday

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper (wrist) is in the lineup on Saturday against the Nationals. The slugger, who has been out since May 23 with a bruised left wrist, will bat third against right-handed pitcher Joe Ross. Ross is sporting a 2-5 record and a 5.40 ERA this season, so Harper has a chance to […]

P.J. Tucker May Start Game 1

Milwaukee Bucks forward P.J. Tucker may start Game 1 against the Nets on Saturday. With Tucker having been a teammate of James Harden, the Bucks will need all the help it can handle to slow him down while also focusing on Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant. While Tucker may not see many chances on the […]

Mike Conley Dealing With An Injury

Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley (hamstring) will be re-evaluated ahead of the team's upcoming series against the Clippers or Mavericks.

The veteran has dealt with the same issue throughout the season, so it wouldn't be […]

Klay Thompson Could Miss Start Of 2022 Season

Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson (Achilles) may not be ready for the start of the 2021-22 NBA year, according to executive Bob Myers. Thompson is working his way back from ACL and Achilles injuries and hasn't played since the 2019 NBA Finals against the Raptors. He is averaging 19.5 points throughout eight seasons of […]

PJ Dozier Day-To-Day

Denver Nuggets guard PJ Dozier (hip) is listed as day-to-day, which indicates he could return during the upcoming series against Phoenix. The 24-year-old hasn't played since May 3 while dealing with a right adductor strain. He averaged 7.7 points, 3.6 boards, and 1.8 assists throughout 21.8 minutes this season, although he likely could see a […]
