Michael Lorenzen Heading Back To The Injured List

Cincinnati Reds relief pitcher Michael Lorenzen (hamstring) is heading to the 10-day injured list. According to skipper David Bell, the move will take place on Monday, which is unfortunate news considering Lorenzen was recently activated from the 60-day version on Friday. The 29-year-old right-hander suffered a right hamstring strain during Saturday's matchup against the Milwaukee […]

Mitch Garver May Play On Sunday

Minnesota Twins catcher Mitch Garver (groin) could be back in the lineup soon, possibly as early as Monday. With the club partaking in a doubleheader against the Chicago White Sox, skipper Rocco Baldelli indicated there is a chance the backstop catches in one of them. The 30-year-old has been out of service since June 1 […]

Kean Wong Optioned To Triple-A

Los Angeles Angeles infielder Kean Wong was optioned back to Triple-A on Sunday. The move was needed to make room for outfielder Brandon Marsh, who was called up from Triple-A Salt Lake in a corresponding move. Fantasy managers shouldn't lose any sleep with Wong's demotion, primarily since his most significant contribution was a collision with […]

Duane Underwood Jr. Activated On Sunday

Pittsburgh Pirates relief pitcher Duane Underwood Jr. was activated from the 10-day injured list on Sunday. The 26-year-old righty was out of commission because of side discomfort, but it appears as if he is now ready to go. Underwood currently owns a subpar 4.86 ERA, but he has some value based on his 47 strikeouts […]

Dillon Thomas Recalled From Tacoma

Seattle Mariners outfielder Dillon Thomas was called back up to the big club on Sunday. The 28-year-old has spent time between the M's and Triple-A Tacoma this season, and he will now take the place of Jake Fraley (illness), who recently landed on the 10-day injured list. Thomas isn't worth much from a fantasy perspective, […]

Ryan LaMarre Heading To The Majors

New York Yankees outfielder Ryan LaMarre is projected to start on Sunday during the series finale against the Boston Red Sox. The veteran had his contract selected from Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, and he adds depth to a club with some holes in the outfield. The 32-year-old hasn't done anything noteworthy during his brief stint with the big […]

Greg Allen Expected To Enter Starting Lineup

New York Yankees outfielder Greg Allen is expected to start on Sunday against the Red Sox. With Tim Locastro (knee) and Aaron Judge (COVID-19) both on the shelf, the 28-year-old may spend some additional time with the big club moving ahead. Although he has played relatively well in Triple-A, especially on the base paths, he […]

Mookie Betts Won’t Play On Sunday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts (hip) won't play on Sunday during the series finale against the Rockies. Betts left Saturday's matchup because of right hip irritation, which was unfortunate considering he compiled a homer and three doubles before his early departure. Skipper Dave Roberts indicated that the ailment has been bothering the 28-year-old all […]

Danny Santana Expected To Rejoin Team Soon

Boston Red Sox first baseman Danny Santana (quadriceps) is expected to rejoin the team sometime within the next few days. He strained his left quad over a week ago, and he recently reported for a rehab stint at Triple-A Worcester. However, the 30-year-old hasn't done much this season, currently owning a miserable .167 average throughout […]

Phillies-Marlins Game Suspended

Saturday's matchup between the Miami Marlins and Philadelphia Phillies was suspended due to inclement weather. The game was tied at two runs apiece, but rain ultimately entered the equation in the 10th inning, so the contest will resume on Sunday afternoon, with the series finale between both clubs beginning after.

Mookie Betts Exits Against Rockies With Hip Injury

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts (hip) left Saturday's matchup against the Colorado Rockies with right hip irritation. Before his departure, the 28-year-old was having a solid evening with a home run and three doubles, but the injury was too much to overcome. More information is likely to come soon, although it wouldn't be a […]

John Means To Start On Tuesday

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher John Means (shoulder) will be activated from the injured list and start on Tuesday against Tampa Bay. The southpaw has been on the shelf since the beginning of June because of a shoulder strain, so fantasy managers should be thrilled with the latest update. The 28-year-old has played well this season, […]

Brandon Crawford May Start On Sunday

San Francisco Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford (hamstring) may be available to start on Sunday, according to skipper Gabe Kapler. Crawford was experiencing left hamstring tightness during Friday's outing against St. Louis, which forced him to exit prematurely. He did see an at-bat on Saturday, so it appears as if he is trending in the right […]

Matt Chapman Continues To Struggle

Oakland Athletics third baseman Matt Chapman went 1-for-3 during Saturday's loss to Cleveland, finishing with one hit and one run. The 28-year-old struck out as well, bringing his total to 114 whiffs on the year. Chapman has regressed somewhat from what he produced last season, currently batting just .226 while connecting for a hit during […]

Tim Locastro Exits Saturday’s Contest

New York Yankees outfielder Tim Locastro exited Saturday's matchup against the visiting Boston Red Sox. Although the exact nature for his early departure has yet to be revealed, it is believed he injured his knee while making a catch out in left field. More information regarding his status moving ahead is anticipated soon. In the […]

Zack Wheeler Starting On Sunday

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Zack Wheeler will be on the hill against Miami on Sunday. Wheeler, a Cy Young candidate, has been reliable this year, currently posting a 6-5 record through 18 starts (119 innings) to go along with a 2.26 ERA and 145 strikeouts. The righty demolished Marlins' hitters back on May 18, finishing […]

Derek Law Lands On Injured List

Minnesota Twins relief pitcher Derek Law (shoulder) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Saturday. The 30-year-old recently had his contract purchased from Triple-A St. Paul. The designation is retroactive to July 14, so he could be back relatively quickly. However, it's probable many fantasy managers aren't waiting eagerly for his return, primarily after […]

Juan Minaya Has Contract Selected By Twins

The Minnesota Twins selected the contract of Juan Minaya from St. Paul on Saturday night. The transaction adds depth to the bullpen, primarily with the collective absences of Derek Law (shoulder), Danny Coulombe (personal), and Randy Dobnak (finger). In four Major League appearances this season, the 30-year is currently sitting on a 4.26 ERA. It's […]

Jake Bauers Won’t Play Against Angels

Seattle Mariners outfielder Jake Bauers (illness) won't play on Saturday evening against the Los Angeles Angels. The 25-year-old is currently dealing with an illness, although his exact symptoms have yet to be revealed. Nonetheless, it's likely he isn't in many fantasy lineups at the moment, primarily due to his recent struggles in July after posting […]

Beau Burrows Called Up

Minnesota Twins relief pitcher Beau Burrows was recalled from Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday. The 24-year-old is needed to fill some spots in the staff, specifically for Randy Dobnak (finger), Derek Law (shoulder), Danny Coulombe (personal). Burrows, who was claimed off waivers in June after spending time in Detroit, is currently sitting on an atrocious […]

Brandon Crawford Could Be Available Off Bench Saturday

San Francisco Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford (hamstring) could be available off the bench on Saturday night against the Cardinals. The 34-year-old exited Friday's matchup after dealing with left hamstring tightness, but the latest revelation is positive news. Although he shouldn't be considered a starting option while he is on the bench, his day-to-day designation is […]

Angel Perdomo Called Up From Nashville

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Angel Perdomo was called up from Triple-A Nashville on Saturday. The move comes after Devin Williams (elbow) was placed on the 10-day injured list because of discomfort, although Perdomo is nowhere near an equal replacement. The southpaw has spent time in the big club already this year, currently sitting on a […]

Devin Williams Lands On Injured List

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Devin Williams (elbow) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Saturday. The 26-year-old righty is dealing with elbow discomfort, a surprise revelation after he reportedly complained about the ailment while throwing on Friday. Williams has played well this season, currently sporting a 6-1 record to go along with 52 strikeouts, […]

Randy Dobnak Transferred To 60-Day Injured List

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Randy Dobnak (finger) was transferred to the 60-day injured list on Saturday. No surprise here, and the move is a way to open up room on the team's roster. It's unlikely many fantasy managers will be impacted, primarily since he isn't on many rosters anyway because of his struggles this season, […]

Chris Paul Denies Injury

Phoenix Suns guard Chris Paul (hand) denied reports that he is injured. "I'm fine," reported Paul, who suffered a right-hand injury during the Western Conference Finals. Although the veteran has balked at questions regarding a potential ailment, his recent play hasn't supported the concept, recently scoring just 10 points during the Game 4 loss to […]

Kevin Love Still Dealing With Calf Issue

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Kevin Love (calf) recently withdrew from Team USA ahead of the Summer Olympics in Tokyo. The 32-year-old veteran continues to deal with a right calf strain, an injury that limited him to just 25 games last season. Love has a career average of 18 points and 11 boards while shooting 37 percent […]

RJ Barrett Won't Be Included In Trade Talks

New York Knicks forward RJ Barrett is reportedly not to be included in trade talks during the offseason. With Collin Sexton rumored to be on the Knicks' radar, the organization has made it clear that Barrett isn't an option. The 21-year-old former Duke Blue Devil averaged 17.6 points while shooting over 40 percent from deep […]

Zach Collins Likely To Become A Free Agent

Portland Trail Blazers forward Zach Collins is expected to enter free agency during the offseason. With the organization not anticipated to tender a qualifying offer, the three-year pro could draw interest from teams looking to fill a void. However, his health has been an issue, with a left foot injury relegating him to just 11 […]

Kawhi Leonard Still Drawing Interest From Teams

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) is reportedly on the radar for many teams ahead of the 2021-22 campaign. Although there is a chance Leonard doesn't suit up next season after he had surgery to repair a partially torn ACL in his right knee, many organizations are still willing to sign him to a […]

Damian Lillard Denies Trade Request Rumors

Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard has denied reports that he will seek a trade sometime within the next few days. Nonetheless, that doesn't mean he is guaranteed to remain in Portland, primarily since he hasn't decided his future with the organization moving toward the 2021-22 campaign. The 31-year-old has reportedly been frustrated with the […]
