Luis Severino Nearing A Rehab Assignment

New York Yankees starting pitcher Luis Severino (elbow) has been throwing bullpen sessions and is also close to reporting for a rehab assignment. This is some promising news, primarily since the 27-year-old has been out since February of 2020 due to Tommy John surgery. Severino is expected to return at some point during the year, […]

Taijuan Walker To Start On Saturday

New York Mets starting pitcher Taijuan Walker (side) will now start on Saturday against Atlanta. With Friday's contest getting postponed, his start was pushed back, which could open the door for Jacob deGrom to start for Sunday Night Baseball. Walker has a 2.05 ERA and 41 strikeouts this season. He has been on the shelf […]

Pete Alonso Moving In The Right Direction

New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso (hand) took pitches from a high-velocity machine on Friday. Alonso has been on the 10-day injured list since suffering a sprained hand back on May 18. The 26-year-old is eligible to return on Saturday, and with recent rumblings that he's almost ready to go, he may be back […]

Jimmy Nelson To Throw Bullpen Session

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Jimmy Nelson (forearm) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session over the weekend. Nelson was recently placed on the 10-day injured list with right forearm inflammation, so this is a step in the right direction. The 31-year-old is currently sporting a 2.41 ERA throughout 16 appearances this season. Fantasy managers […]

Jose Iglesias Heads To The I.L.

Los Angeles Angels shortstop Jose Iglesias (hamstring) landed on the 10-day injured list on Friday. The 31-year-old is dealing with left hamstring tightness, an ailment that forced his removal from Tuesday's matchup against the Rangers. Iglesias is batting .283 this season in addition to 45 hits, 21 runs, 16 RBI, and four home runs throughout […]

Kent Emanuel Lands On The Injured List

Houston Astros relief pitcher Kent Emanuel (elbow) was placed on the 10-day injured list. The lefty was yanked from Tuesday's game against the Dodgers with elbow discomfort and likely won't be rushed back to avoid any long-term damage. Emanuel is currently sitting on a 2.55 ERA while striking out 13 batters throughout 10 appearances this […]

Jose Urena May Miss Next Start

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Jose Urena (forearm) may not make his next scheduled turn through the rotation. The veteran was forced out of Wednesday's start against the Indians with forearm tightness, and skipper A.J. Hinch indicated he might hold him out to play it safe. The 29-year-old has struggled this season, sporting a shoddy 2-4 […]

Wade Miley To Now Start On Monday

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Wade Miley (foot) will now start on Monday against the Phillies. The southpaw has been out of commission for over a week due to a left foot sprain and was initially projected to return for Sunday's series finale against the Cubs. Miley has an adequate 4-4 record this season to go […]

Eric Hosmer Injured On Friday Night

San Diego Padres first baseman Eric Hosmer (shoulder) was removed from Friday's game against the Astros. The veteran was hit in the right shoulder by a pitch in the first inning. He remained in the game to run the bases but was subsequently replaced by Jorge Mateo in the second. Hosmer should be considered day-to-day. […]

Shed Long Jr. To Begin Triple-A Rehab Assignment

Seattle Mariners infielder Shed Long Jr. (shin) is expected to start a rehab assignment with Triple-A Tacoma sometime over the next few days. Long had surgery back in September to repair a stress fracture in his right shin and has been working his way back ever since. After a promising 2019 campaign, the 25-year-old took […]

Luis Robert Transferred To 60-Day List

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert (hip) has been transferred to the 60-day injured list. Robert has been out of commission while dealing with a hip flexor strain, and it's bad news for fantasy managers who were benefiting from his .316 batting average. The 23-year-old is eligible to return in July, although it is reasonable […]

Aroldis Chapman Dealing With Illness

New York Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman (illness) may not fly with the team to Detroit for the weekend series against the Tigers. The veteran continues to test negative for COVID-19, which is good news. However, fantasy managers could be without him until the team returns for a four-game homestand against the Rays beginning on Monday.

Trey Mancini Exits Against Chicago After One Inning

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Trey Mancini (elbow) was forced out of Thursday's matchup against the Chicago White Sox. The righty lasted just one inning before sustaining a bruise to his right elbow. While x-rays showed no sign of a fracture, it wouldn't be surprising if Mancini missed a start moving ahead.

Logan Webb Expected To Start On Saturday

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Logan Webb (shoulder) is expected to start on Saturday against the Dodgers. The righty made a quick trip to the injured list over a week ago due to shoulder discomfort, but it appears the issue wasn't anything serious. The 24-year-old has a 3-3 record this season to go along with […]

Jazz Chisholm Remains Day-To-Day

Miami Marlins infielder Jazz Chisholm (ankle) remains listed as day-to-day, according to skipper Don Mattingly. The 23-year-old is currently dealing with a "mild" ankle sprain, an ailment that caused him to leave Tuesday's contest against Philadelphia. The speedster wasn't in the lineup on Wednesday or Thursday, so it will be interesting to see if he […]

Miguel Rojas Likely Heading To I.L.

Miami Marlins shortstop Miguel Rojas (finger) will likely be taking a trip to the injured list. Rojas left Thursday's matchup against the Phillies after dislocating his finger. The 32-year-old is batting .266 this season in addition to 47 hits, 16 RBI, and three home runs while striking out 28 times through 171 at-bats. The veteran […]

Patrick Sandoval Starting On Thursday Evening

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Patrick Sandoval will start on Thursday night, with Shohei Ohtani now taking the hill on Friday. Sandoval logged five innings of work against the Athletics on Saturday, allowing four hits and two runs while striking out three. With an anticipated cap of around 75 pitches, the southpaw is a risky […]

Shohei Ohtani Now Starting On Friday

Los Angeles Angeles starting pitcher/designated hitter Shohei Ohtani will not start on Thursday against the Athletics. Ohtani will now be on the hill on Friday night, with Patrick Sandoval serving as the starter during the series opener. Sandoval logged five innings on Saturday against Oakland during his last time out, allowing four hits and two […]

AJ Pollock Could Get A Few Rehab Games

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder AJ Pollock (hamstring) may play a few rehab games before getting activated, according to manager Dave Roberts. Pollock has been out for a few weeks with a strained left hamstring, and while he was eligible to come off the 10-day injured list a few days ago, fantasy managers may not see […]

Russell Westbrook Suffers Ankle Injury

Washington Wizards guard Russell Westbrook (ankle) left Wednesday's matchup against the Sixers. The former MVP sprained his right ankle in the fourth quarter, and with Philly up by a large margin, his night is likely over. Westbrook will probably pop up on the injury report ahead of Game 3, so fantasy managers should continue to […]

Chris Paul Now Probable For Game 3

Phoenix Suns guard Chris Paul (shoulder) is officially listed as probable for the Game 3 matchup against the Lakers. The veteran injured his right shoulder in Game 1 of the series and was limited to 23 minutes of work during Game 2 on Tuesday night. While his presence is certainly good news, there is also […]

Seth Curry Injured In Game 3

Philadelphia 76ers guard Seth Curry (ankle) is questionable to return to Wednesday's matchup against Washington. Curry sprained his left ankle in the third quarter but has recently re-emerged from the locker room. Although he is working toward getting back on the floor, Doc Rivers may play it safe by holding him out.

Jeff Green Dealing With Foot Injury

Brooklyn Nets forward Jeff Green (foot) was ruled out of the Game 2 matchup against Boston, and his status is uncertain for Game 3 on Friday night. The veteran suffered a bruised left foot on Tuesday, which opened the door for Landry Shamet and Bruce Brown to see more minutes in small-ball lineups. Fantasy managers […]

Jayson Tatum In Danger Of Missing Game 3

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (eye) is in danger of missing the Game 3 clash with the Brooklyn Nets. Tatum was accidentally poked in the eye during Tuesday's 130-108 loss and was ruled out for the remainder of the contest. Although there is still a good chance he will be in uniform, he may be […]

Will Barton To Miss Another One

Denver Nuggets forward Will Barton (hamstring) won't be in the lineup for Game 3 against Portland. Barton has missed the entire month of May due to a strained right hamstring, and while he was working toward a return at some point during the series, things haven't looked promising. In his stead, look for Aaron Gordon, […]

PJ Dozier Remains Out For Game 3

Denver Nuggets guard PJ Dozier (hip) won't play on Thursday night against the Trail Blazers. Dozier missed time toward the end of the regular season due to a right adductor strain and hasn't been available for the first two games of the series against Portland. Fantasy managers should expect Facundo Campazzo and Austin Rivers to […]

Chris Paul Continues To Deal With Shoulder Issue

Phoenix Suns guard Chris Paul (shoulder) continues to deal with right shoulder pain, an ailment that puts his status in jeopardy for Game 3 against the Lakers. The veteran suffered the injury in Game 1 on Sunday and was relegated to 23 minutes on Tuesday evening, finishing with only six points and five assists. Although […]

Taylor Widener Back On The Injured List

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Taylor Widener (groin) has been put back on the 10-day injured list. After making his first start in over a month because of a right groin strain, Widener reaggravated the injury on Sunday against the Rockies. This is obviously a cause for concern for fantasy managers, especially for those who were […]

Tony Gonsolin Tosses 38 Pitches On Sunday

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tony Gonsolin (shoulder) made a rehab start for Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday. Gonsolin logged 38 pitches in total, allowing no runs while fanning three. The 27-year-old is eligible to come off the injured list at the end of May, and with another productive outing or two for OKC in […]

Jose Urquidy To Make Double-A Start On Wednesday

Houston Astros starting pitcher Jose Urquidy (shoulder) is scheduled to make a rehab start for Double-A Corpus Christi on Wednesday. This is another step in the right direction, and it comes after the 25-year-old has been throwing bullpen sessions. The righty hasn't played since the middle of May due to shoulder discomfort. However, he is […]
