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 […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Probable For Game 4

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (groin) is probable for Saturday's matchup against Miami. The Freak is currently dealing with left groin soreness, an ailment that could limit his fantasy effectiveness, primarily if Milwaukee goes up big as it did during the previous two contests. Fantasy managers should await an official confirmation regarding his status against […]

Marcell Ozuna Put On Injured List

Atlanta Braves outfielder Marcell Ozuna (fingers) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. Ozuna left Tuesday's game against Boston after fracturing two fingers on his left hand. The 30-year-old is batting just .213 this season to go along with 46 strikeouts. However, his 26 RBI and seven homers help offset those numbers, so fantasy […]

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 […]
