Giannis Antetokounmpo Not On The Injury Report

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) isn't listed on the league's official injury report ahead of Game 2 of the NBA Finals. The Freak hyperextended his left knee during the Eastern Conference Finals against the Hawks. However, after he was initially listed as doubtful for Game 1 against Phoenix, he managed to suit up, finishing […]

Dario Saric Out Indefinitely

Phoenix Suns forward Dario Saric (knee) is out indefinitely. Saric suffered a torn ACL in his right knee during Game 1 of the NBA Finals. His status for the regular season, which begins in October, is currently up in the air, although it wouldn't be surprising if he weren't available. Throughout 50 games of 2020-21 […]

Kris Bryant Dealing With Hamstring Issue

Updating a previous report, Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant (hamstring) was removed from Wednesday's contest against the Phillies. The veteran was dealing with tightness in his right hamstring, and Patrick Wisdom subsequently replaced him in the top of the fourth inning as a result. With the All-Streak break up ahead, it wouldn't be unreasonable […]

Justus Sheffield Lands On The 10-Day Injured List

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Justus Sheffield (forearm) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday night. The move comes after the southpaw was routed by the Yankees on Tuesday, allowing six runs and five hits while walking three batters. The 25-year-old is currently sitting on an unimpressive 6.48 ERA and an equally hideous 5-8 […]

Erik Swanson Activated From The Injured List

Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Erik Swanson (groin) was removed from the 10-day injured list on Wednesday evening. Swanson has been on the shelf since the end of May because of a right groin strain, so his activation is good news for a team that will now be without Justus Sheffield (forearm) for at least a […]

Kris Bryant Exits Wednesday’s Contest

Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant (hand) exited Wednesday's matchup against Philadelphia. While attempting to slide safely back to second base in the bottom of the first inning, Bryant's left hand was stepped on by Didi Gregorius, resulting in his premature departure. The veteran was wearing a protective mitten, which is good news, although his […]

Taylor Widener Needs Solid Performance Before Return

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Taylor Widener (groin) will need a successful rehab performance before being activated by the big club. The 26-year-old has been bothered by a right groin strain for a good portion of the season, and his most recent bout with the ailment landed him on the injured list back in May. However, […]

Daniel Hudson Activated On Wednesday

Washington Nationals relief pitcher Daniel Hudson (elbow) was activated from the 10-day injured list on Wednesday. The veteran has been out of the lineup since June 12 because of right elbow inflammation. Hudson is sporting a 2.59 ERA and 35 strikeouts throughout just over 24 innings of work this season but has the most fantasy […]

Kyle Tucker Sits Again For Series Finale

Houston Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker (back) was missing from Sunday's starting lineup against Cleveland. Tucker is currently dealing with back spasms, an ailment that has now forced him to miss the last three outings. The club will fly home and rest on Monday before hosting the Athletics on Tuesday. With Tucker officially labeled as day-to-day, […]

Alex Bregman Won’t Return Before Break

Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman (quadriceps) has recently been doing some light running. However, he isn't expected back before the All-Star break. The 27-year-old right-handed hitter has been out since June 16 because of a strained left quad, but it appears as if he is inching closer toward a return. Bregman is batting .275, […]

Christian Arroyo Likely To Be Activated On Monday

Boston Red Sox second baseman Christian Arroyo (knee) is expected to be activated on Monday. Arroyo is currently with the team and is likely to be ready to roll for the series opener against the Angels. The 26-year-old has played well enough to justify his presence on fantasy rosters, currently owning a .264 batting average, […]

Yanks Send Tyler Wade Back To Triple-A

New York Yankees second baseman Tyler Wade was demoted back to Triple-A on Sunday. The 26-year-old hasn't done much this season, currently sitting on a .224 average to go along with 14 runs, 11 hits, and two RBI, with 14 strikeouts, throughout 49 at-bats for the big club. The move makes room for Wandy Peralta, […]

Kole Calhoun To Run Bases On Monday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Kole Calhoun (hamstring) will run the bases on Monday. The 33-year-old had recently reported to Triple-A Reno to prepare for a return to the big club. However, he was removed from a contest on Tuesday after his hamstring ailment flared up, although it may not keep him out much longer. Calhoun is […]

Eduardo Escobar Missing Again On Sunday

Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eduardo Escobar (quadriceps) wasn't in the lineup on Sunday for the series finale against the Giants. Escobar was listed as out because of a quadriceps injury. However, with trade rumors running wild, fantasy managers may have seen the last of him in Arizona. The 32-year-old is batting .249 to go along […]

Maikel Franco Absent Against On Sunday

Baltimore Orioles third baseman Maikel Franco (ankle) wasn't in the lineup once again on Sunday for the series finale against the Angels. Franco tweaked his ankle on Wednesday against the Houston Astros and hasn't made an appearance since. The 28-year-old is considered day-to-day, and with the birds getting the day off on Monday, there is […]

John Means Makes Rehab Start On Sunday

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher John Means (shoulder) made a rehab start on Independence Day for High-A Aberdeen, allowing a hit, which was a home run, and striking out two batters throughout two innings. The lefty has been out for nearly a month while working his way back from a shoulder strain, so his appearance for […]

Corey Oswalt May Get Another Start

New York Mets starting pitcher Chris Oswalt could be in line to be a permanent member of the team's rotation. The 27-year-old, who was recently picked up from Triple-A Syracuse, started in Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Yankees. Although the righty struggled to some degree, allowing four hits and three ER throughout four […]

Tyler Herro May Get Dealt This Offseason

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro could find himself on a new team during the 2021-22 campaign. With Miami looking for players to pair with superstar Jimmy Butler, the 21-year-old could be included in a deal to bring a more established player to South Beach. Butler had a breakout season in 2020, but he fell off […]

Clippers In The Running To Keep Reggie Jackson

Los Angeles Clippers guard Reggie Jackson will draw plenty of interest after he hits free agency during the offseason. The 31-year-old veteran was a critical component for L.A. during the postseason by helping fill the void caused by Kawhi Leonard's (knee) absence, averaging 20.3 points during the Western Conference Finals against Phoenix. The Clippers could […]

Luis Severino Throws Off Pen Mound Saturday

New York Yankees starting pitcher Luis Severino (elbow, groin) threw off a bullpen mound on Saturday. More progress is being made by the 27-year-old, who last appeared for the big club in 2019 due to Tommy John surgery and a strained groin suffered during rehab. Severino has a 3.46 ERA and a 42-26 record throughout […]

Josh Naylor Has Successful Surgery

Cleveland Indians outfielder Josh Naylor (ankle) underwent successful surgery on Friday. The procedure involved repairing multiple fractures and torn ligaments in his right ankle, and it comes after the 24-year-old collided with teammate Ernie Clement during a loss to the Twins a week ago. Naylor has played well enough this season. However, fantasy managers without […]

Yasmani Grandal “Feeling Fine”

Chicago White Sox catcher Yasmani Grandal (calf) reported that he is "feeling fine" while also indicating that he sat out on Saturday "just to be safe." The 32-year-old veteran exited Friday's series opener against the Tigers because of right calf tightness, and while he is considered day-to-day, there is a chance he may be available […]

Nico Hoerner Could Return On Sunday

Chicago Cubs shortstop Nico Hoerner (hamstring) could be reinstated ahead of the series finale against the Reds. The 24-year-old has been out for nearly five weeks after suffering a left hamstring strain. He is now with the team in Cincinnati after spending time at Triple-A Iowa, so things are looking promising regarding his availability on […]

Logan Webb To Throw 45 Pitches On Sunday

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Logan Webb (shoulder) is scheduled to throw 45 pitches during a rehab appearance for Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday. Webb continues to increase his activity level after he most recently logged a 30-pitch session on Thursday. The 24-year-old has battled shoulder issues throughout the year and has landed on the injured […]

Kevin Plawecki Ramping Up Activities

Boston Red Sox catcher Kevin Plawecki (hamstring) has recently resumed running while also performing baseball activities. The 30-year-old has been out of commission for a few weeks now because of a left hamstring strain. However, Plawecki doesn't have much value, primarily since he has split time with Christian Vazquez this season. While that could change […]

Maikel Franco Doesn’t Start On Saturday

Baltimore Orioles third baseman Maikel Franco (ankle) didn't start on Saturday night against the Angels. Franco didn't play on Friday either, and he is currently considered day-to-day after rolling his ankle during Wednesday's affair against the Houston Astros. Domingo Leyba should continue to fill the void until he returns. However, with a .098 average this […]

Cesar Valdez Could Be Activated On Sunday

Baltimore Orioles relief pitcher Cesar Valdez (back) could be activated from the 10-day injured list on Sunday. Although it also could be sometime after that, the veteran is nearing a return after spending time on the IL with a lower back strain. However, Valdez isn't worth much from a fantasy standpoint, primarily after his role […]

Ketel Marte Takes At-Bats

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Ketel Marte (hamstring) took at-bats during a practice session on Friday. Although he hasn't been running, it appears as if he is moving in the right direction after being diagnosed with a left hamstring strain nearly a week ago. The 27-year-old is batting .370 this season, so fantasy managers are certainly eagerly […]

Bruce Zimmermann Has Timetable Pushed Back

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Bruce Zimmermann (biceps) will have his recovery timetable pushed back at least a week or two. Zimmermann has been on the shelf after being diagnosed with biceps tendinitis a few weeks ago. The 26-year-old has struggled this season, so it's likely fantasy managers aren't missing him much anyway, currently owning a […]

Bobby Portis Starting Again On Saturday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Bobby Portis will start on Saturday night against Atlanta. With Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) sitting for the second-straight game, the veteran will fill in once again. Portis dropped 22 points while racking up eight boards and three steals during the Game 5 win on Thursday night, so the DFS upside is certainly there.
