Anthony Davis Out For Game 5

Los Angeles Lakers forward Anthony Davis (groin) was held out of Tuesday's matchup against Phoenix. The 28-year-old is currently dealing with a left groin strain in addition to a sore left knee. While he was observed warming up before Game 5, he ultimately wasn't healthy enough to suit up. His status for Game 6 is […]

Seth Curry Probable For Game 5

Philadelphia 76ers guard Seth Curry (ankle) is probable for Wednesday's matchup against Washington. Curry sprained his left ankle in Game 2 of the series, and although he has appeared in the league's injury report ever since, he hasn't missed any time. The 30-year-old logged 28 minutes during the Game 4 loss on Monday night, finishing […]

Jose Quintana Placed On Injured List

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Jose Quintana (shoulder) was placed on the 10-day injured list. The southpaw left Sunday's matchup against the Athletics because of discomfort in his throwing shoulder, so the team will play it safe by keeping him out for a bit. The veteran hasn't played well this season, sporting a 7.22 ERA […]

Chris Owings Making Progress

Colorado Rockies second baseman Chris Owings (thumb) is "getting closer" to returning to the lineup, according to manager Bud Black.

Owings has looked good this season despite only appearing in a limited capacity […]

Good News For Trevor Story

Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story's (elbow) MRI came back clean, revealing no structural damage.

Trevor Williams Lands On 10-Day Injured List

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Trevor Williams (appendicitis) was placed on the 10-day injured list. This isn't a surprise, primarily since he was pulled from his scheduled start on Monday to have an emergency appendectomy. The 29-year-old has a 5.36 ERA and a 3-2 record this season, so fantasy managers who still have him on the […]

Matt Duffy Working Toward Return

Chicago Cubs third baseman Matt Duffy (back) has recently been doing some light swinging. The 30-year-old has been on the 10-day injured list while tending to a lower back strain and is eligible to come off soon.

Chris Sale Starting To Increase Intensity

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Chris Sale (elbow) continues to move in the right direction.

The veteran is recovering from Tommy John surgery and could be back on the field within the next few months, […]

PJ Dozier Out On Tuesday As Expected

Denver Nuggets guard PJ Dozier (hip) is out for the Game 5 matchup against Portland. Dozier has been out since the beginning of May due to a strained right adductor, so his absence was more than expected. Without him, Facundo Campazzo, Austin Rivers, and Monte Morris should all continue to handle most of the work […]

Will Barton Out Again On Tuesday Evening

Denver Nuggets forward Will Barton (hamstring) is out for Game 5 against Portland. This isn't a surprise, primarily since the veteran hasn't played in over a month while tending to a strained right hamstring. He was observed riding the bike on the sidelines during the Game 4 loss to the Blazers, which is good news, […]

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Questionable On Tuesday

Los Angeles Lakers guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup with Phoenix.

If the 28-year-old isn't in uniform for Game 5, veteran Wesley […]

Chris Paul Likely To Play Against Lakers

Phoenix Suns guard Chris Paul (shoulder) will likely play on Tuesday against the Lakers. The 36-year-old injured his right shoulder earlier in the series, and while there were rumblings he wouldn't be available for Game 4, he managed to play and finish with a team-high 18 points. With head coach Monty Williams allotting heavy minutes […]

Jusuf Nurkic Available For Game 5

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (ankle) is doubtful for Tuesday's postseason showdown with the Nets. Williams sprained his left ankle in Game 3 after just six minutes of work and wasn't on the floor on Sunday during the loss to Brooklyn. Without him, Tristan Thompson should continue to see an increase in DFS popularity. […]

Kemba Walker Doubtful For Game 5

Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker (knee) is doubtful to play during the Game 5 matchup against the Brooklyn Nets. The veteran is currently dealing with a bruised left knee and wasn't in the lineup for the Game 4 loss as a result. Without Walker in the mix, Romeo Langford and Payton Pritchard should split minutes […]

Davis Bertans Done For Remainder Of Game 4

Washington Wizards forward Davis Bertans (calf) was ruled out for the remainder of the Game 4 matchup against Philly. Bertans suffered a right calf strain midway through the third quarter, and considering that he's had issues with it this season, it wouldn't be shocking for him to miss Game 5 on Wednesday night (if necessary).

Davis Bertans Injured In Game 4

Washington Wizards forward Davis Bertans (leg) left Monday's matchup against Philadelphia. Bertans got injured midway through the third quarter and was helped off the floor while favoring his right leg.

Huascar Ynoa Transferred To 60-Day IL

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Huascar Ynoa (hand) was transferred to the 60-day injured list on Monday.

In a corresponding move, the team selected the contract of Abraham Almonte while optioning Jay Flaa […]

Joel Embiid Out For The Rest Of Game 4

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) will not return on Monday night against the Wizards.

Kyle Lewis Injured On Monday

Seattle Mariners outfielder Kyle Lewis (knee) exited Monday's matchup against the Athletics. Lewis injured his right knee while fielding in the eighth inning, which isn't good news, especially since it is the same knee that bothered him during Spring Training. The 25-year-old has picked things up from what fantasy managers saw at the beginning of […]

Joel Embiid Injured On Monday Night

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (hip/back) left Monday's contest against the Wizards.

Bradley Beal Injured During Game 4

Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal (knee) left Monday's matchup against Philadelphia. The veteran was observed holding his right knee and subsequently taken to the bench for further evaluation.
