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.

Bogdan Bogdanovic Available Against Bucks

Atlanta Hawks forward Bogdan Bogdanovic (knee) is officially active for Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Saturday. The 28-year-old has been a frequent mention on the injury report for the last few weeks because of right knee soreness but has continuously played, so his availability against the Bucks isn't a shock. Bogdanovic has […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Out For Game 6

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) won't play during Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Hawks. The Freak was listed as doubtful heading into the contest, so the announcement isn't much of a surprise. There is a chance he could make it back for Game 7, if necessary, but it appears as […]

Trae Young Will Play On Saturday Night

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (foot) will play on Saturday against the Bucks. Had this been the regular season, the 22-year-old would likely be sitting. However, with his team facing elimination, Young will give it a god, although he probably isn't 100 percent. Nonetheless, his presence will still impact others, notably Bogdan Bogdanovic, who led […]

Cam Reddish Currently Under Minutes Cap

Atlanta Hawks forward Cam Reddish has been having his playing time monitored throughout the Eastern Conference Finals. "He has a minutes restriction, but he also has a fatigue factor," said coach Nate McMillian when asked about Reddish's availability during the series. The sophomore missed four months throughout the regular season because of an Achilles injury. […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Doubtful Against Hawks

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is doubtful to play in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Hawks. The Freak hyperextended his left knee during the Game 4 loss on Tuesday. Luckily, an MRI revealed no structural damage, and there have been rumblings that he could be back for Game 7 (if […]

Trae Young Questionable On Saturday

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (foot) is questionable ahead of the Eastern Conference Finals matchup against the Bucks. With the team trying to avoid elimination, it is realistic to assume that Young may still play, even if he isn't 100 percent. However, if he can't go in Game 6, Bogdan Bogdanovic (knee), who is listed […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic Probable For Game 6

Atlanta Hawks forward Bogdan Bogdanovic (knee) will likely be available for Saturday's matchup against the Bucks. He has been a frequent resident of the league's official injury report for the past few weeks because of right knee soreness but has still managed to suit up despite the designation. With Trae Young (foot) questionable for Game […]

Kyle Schwarber To Have MRI On Saturday

Washington Nationals outfielder Kyle Schwarber (hamstring) will undergo an MRI on Saturday. Schwarber exited Friday's matchup against the Dodgers because of a right hamstring injury, and according to skipper Dave Martinez, team medical personnel don't know how severe the ailment is. The 28-year-old has been on a roll lately, so a potential trip to the […]

Austin Gomber Continues Pen Sessions

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Austin Gomber (forearm) threw another bullpen session on Thursday. The 27-year-old southpaw continues to operate out of the pen as he works his way back from forearm tightness suffered back in June. If all goes well, Gomber may begin a rehab stint soon before heading back to the big club. The […]

Mike Trout Rounding Corner Toward Return

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (calf) is nearing a return. The former MVP reportedly started swinging a bat a few days ago while also continuing jogging on a treadmill. "It's progressing nice, these last couple weeks," reported Trout, which is positive news for the fantasy managers who have been without him since mid-May because […]

Kyle Freeland On Track To Start On Saturday

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Kyle Freeland (hamstring) is on track to start on Saturday night against St. Louis. Freeland left Monday's matchup against the Pirates after dealing with cramping while running the bases. However, after making progress throughout the week, it now appears he should be good to go, barring a last-minute setback. If he […]

Dinelson Lamet Plays Catch This Week

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Dinelson Lamet (forearm) played catch with a weighted ball on Wednesday and baseball on Thursday. He also reported that he is feeling better, which is good news after he landed on the 10-day injured list nearly a week ago because of right forearm inflammation. The 28-year-old has played well enough […]

Chris Archer Throws Sim Inning

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Chris Archer (forearm) tossed a simulated game on Friday. The outing only lasted an inning. However, he appears to be moving in a promising direction after being out for months because of tendinitis. Although the righty hasn't been the most consistent fantasy option, he has had some favorable outings over […]
