Trevor Williams Getting The Nod For Game 2

New York Mets pitcher Trevor Williams will start Game 2 of Thursday's doubleheader against Washington. With Wednesday's contest getting postponed due to inclement weather, Marcus Stroman will now start Game 1, allowing Williams to get some work with the big club. The 29-year-old, who was recently acquired from the Chicago Cubs during the Javier Baez […]

Marcus Stroman Starting Game 1 On Thursday

New York Mets pitcher Marcus Stroman, who was originally supposed to start on Wednesday, will now be on the bump for Game 1 of Thursday's doubleheader against Washington. With the contest postponed due to inclement weather (rain), the 30-year-old will still get his chance at revenge against a Washington team that beat him up back […]

Thairo Estrada Called Up From Sacramento

San Francisco Giants infielder Thairo Estrada was promoted from Triple-A Sacramento on Wednesday. Estrada has appeared in 31 games for the big club this season, batting an acceptable .303, with 23 hits, 13 RBI, and 12 runs. With Evan Longoria (shoulder) nearing activation, his most recent tenure may be short-lived. However, he is worth a […]

Johnny Cueto Lands On The Injured List

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Johnny Cueto (forearm) landed on the injured list on Wednesday. While the veteran has had bouts of efficiency for fantasy managers throughout the year, his lack of consistency on the mound has been equally frustrating. The 35-year-old is currently sitting on an adequate 3.89 ERA and an acceptable 7-6 record […]

Darrell Henderson Jr. Dealing A With Hand Injury

Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson Jr. (hand) was injured during Tuesday's practice. During drills, the 23-year-old suffered what appeared to be a minor hand injury, although he didn't participate much afterward. While the ailment doesn't seem significant, it is still worth monitoring moving ahead, primarily since he is on tap to be the […]

Tee Higgins Continues To Shine During Camp

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins has been impressive during training camp. While Ja'Marr Chase continues to struggle in certain areas, Higgins has noticeably improved. The 22-year-old finished his rookie season with 67 catches (108 targets) for 908 years and six touchdowns. Although managers continue to gravitate toward Chase as the preferred fantasy option, Higgins […]

Joe Mixon Out On Saturday

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (foot) will not play during the preseason opener on Saturday against Tampa Bay. While the former Sooner is healthy and ready to go after a foot injury limited him to just six games in 2020, head coach Zac Taylor will play it safe by keeping him out. Although it […]

Joe Burrow Out For Preseason Opener

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (knee) has been ruled out for the preseason opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The sophomore signal-caller suffered a season-ending ACL injury in December, so his absence on Saturday isn't much of a surprise. Burrow played well during his 10 games in 2020 before going down, finishing with 2,688 passing […]

Ja’Marr Chase Struggling So Far

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase has struggled during training camp thus far. The fifth-overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft has yet to find his footing, routinely failing to find separation on his routes. After not playing organized football since January 2020, the 21-year-old still has some growing pains to endure during his first […]

Jalen Hurd Possibly On The Bubble

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jalen Hurd (undisclosed) was observed on the sidelines during practice on Tuesday. According to head coach Kyle Shanahan, the 2019 third-round pick "just didn't feel right" while also adding that there's "not much time left," possibly hinting at Hurd's potential for a roster spot. Some have labeled the 25-year-old as […]

Rashod Bateman Dealing With Groin Issue

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (groin) is in jeopardy of missing time, possibly even extending into the regular season. The first-round pick is considered week-to-week after suffering a groin injury during practice on Tuesday. Although it didn't appear serious when it happened, his diagnosis quickly went south in the ensuing hours, potentially leaving signal-caller […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Still Listed As No. 1 Option

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo is still listed as the team's starting signal-caller ahead of Saturday's exhibition matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. Although this isn't a revelation, primarily after head coach Kyle Shanahan has repeatedly reiterated that the 29-year-old is the No. 1 option on the depth chart, it doesn't mean much regarding […]

Myles Turner Moving In The Right Direction In Rehab

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (toe) reported that he's "doing great" while also adding that he is ramping up his activity level on the court. Turner suffered a partial tear of the plantar plate in his right great toe that cost him the final 18 games of the regular season. While the 25-year-old averaged 12.6 […]

Kings Pick Up Option On Damian Jones

Sacramento Kings center Damian Jones is staying with the team. The club picked up Jones' option, so he is on tap for one more year in purple and black. He averaged 6.9 points, 4.5 boards, and 1.0 blocks throughout 17 games with the team. However, it's likely he won't do any better than that from […]

Frank Jackson Staying In Detroit

Restricted free-agent guard Frank Jackson is staying in Detroit. Jackson, who agreed to a two-year deal, is coming off the best season of his career, averaging 9.8 points while shooting nearly 41 percent from deep during his inaugural year in the Motor City. Although the 23-year-old will likely be buried on the Pistons' depth chart, […]

Dennis Schroder Agrees To Deal With Celtics

Free-agent guard Dennis Schroder has agreed to a one-year deal with the Celtics. Schroder turned down $84 million from his previous employer, the Lakers, earlier in the year. Instead, he will now be suiting up for the mid-level exception worth $5.9 million, a fraction of what he would have made in Los Angeles. Nonetheless, the […]

Spencer Dinwiddie Cleared For Action

Washington Wizards guard Spencer Dinwiddie (knee) has been cleared for basketball activities. Thanks to a sign-and-trade agreement with the Nets, Dinwiddie joined his new club on a three-year, $62 million deal. The 28-year-old was a prime producer during his five years in Brooklyn, and he finished the 2019-20 campaign by averaging a career-high 20.6 points […]

Luka Doncic Signs Massive Extension

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic has agreed to a supermax contract extension, totaling a whopping $207 million. Nonetheless, the former Rookie of the Year has undoubtedly earned every bit of it, averaging 25.7 points, 8.4 boards, and 7.7 assists throughout his first three seasons in the league. He should remain one of the most efficient […]

Elfrid Payton Agrees To Deal With Phoenix

Free-agent guard Elfrid Payton has agreed to a one-year deal to join the Suns. This will be Payton's second stint in Phoenix, playing 19 games there after the Orlando Magic traded him during the 2017-18 campaign. The 27-year-old is currently averaging 10.9 points, 5.2 assists, and 1.3 steals throughout seven seasons of service in the […]

Trea Turner Collects Two More Runs On Sunday

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Trea Turner was productive on Sunday against the Angels. Making his second start for the club, the 28-year-old went 1-for-4 during the 8-2 win, smacking a double to left field during his first plate appearance and collecting two runs in total. It appears as if the acquisition of Turner from the […]

Justin Turner Exits Early Against Angels

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner (groin) exited the series finale against the Angels on Sunday. The 36-year-old began to experience left groin discomfort throughout the contest and was subsequently replaced by Albert Pujols, who took over at first, allowing Max Muncy to slide over to the hot corner. Despite his advanced age, Turner […]

Raimel Tapia To Have MRI

Colorado Rockies outfielder Raimel Tapia (toe) left Sunday's clash against Miami. Tapia continues to be bothered by a nagging great toe, and according to skipper Bud Black, he will have an MRI to determine the severity of the issue. The 27-year-old has played well this season, batting .289, with 114 hits, 45 RBI, and 19 […]

No Update On Jared Walsh

Los Angeles Angels first baseman Jared Walsh (side) has yet to be activated from the 10-day injured list. Although there were rumblings that he would be ready to go for the weekend matchups against the Los Angeles Dodgers, skipper Joe Maddon couldn't provide an update on Saturday when asked. The 28-year-old was playing relatively well […]

Chris Sale Pitches Well In Rehab Start

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Chris Sale (elbow) was fantastic during what could be his final rehab outing for Triple-A Worcester. The veteran logged nearly five innings of work against Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday, allowing two hits while walking three and striking out eight batters. He also threw 89 pitches, his most in 2021, and reached […]

Daniel Hudson Making Progress

San Diego Padres relief pitcher Daniel Hudson (illness) participated in a bullpen session on Saturday. It marked the first time that the 34-year-old has thrown at Petco Park with his new team since being dealt by the Washington Nationals at the trade deadline. Hudson has been out because of a positive COVID-19 diagnosis and has […]

Chris Paddack Plays Catch On Saturday

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Chris Paddack (oblique) played catch again on Saturday. The 25-year-old righty is currently sitting on an acceptable 7-6 record along with a less-than-stellar 5.13 ERA throughout 19 starts this season. He has been on the 10-day injured list since the end of July because of a left oblique strain, so […]

Pedro Severino Injured Against Tampa

Baltimore Orioles catcher Pedro Severino (knee) left Saturday's contest against the Rays. Severino exited because of a right knee contusion and was replaced by Austin Wynns behind the dish in the fourth inning. The 28-year-old is batting just .238 throughout 248 at-bats this season, so a potential stint on the injured list likely won't impact […]

Shohei Ohtani Pitching Again On Thursday

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher/designated hitter Shohei Ohtani will start on Thursday against Toronto. The MVP candidate will take the bump for the series finale against the Blue Jays after having made his last start on Wednesday against Texas, lasting six innings, allowing one run and striking out six. Although most managers know he is […]

Chris Rodriguez To Start On Tuesday

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Chris Rodriguez will start one game of Tuesday's doubleheader against Toronto. Although it's unknown which game it will be, it will still be a tough task for the 23-year-old, who recently made his first big league start on Monday against the Texas Rangers, lasting six innings while giving up four […]

Kevin Kiermaier Dealing With A Sore Knee

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier (knee) exited Saturday night's matchup against the Orioles. The 31-year-old began to experience right knee soreness and was replaced by Brett Phillips out in center. Kiermaier is batting .233 this season, with 56 hits, 32 runs, 23 RBI, and seven stolen bags. While he is considered day-to-day, a potential […]
