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 […]

Evan White Not Close To Resuming Activities

Seattle Mariners first baseman Evan White (hip) isn't close to resuming baseball activities. White currently holds a spot on the 60-day injured list, and after suffering a setback during a rehab stint with Triple-A Tacoma, it now appears it may be a while before he is back on the field. The 25-year-old hasn't lived up […]

Justin Dunn To Begin Throwing Program Soon

Seattle Mariners Starting Pitcher Justin Dunn (shoulder) is anticipated to start a throwing program sometime in the next few days. Dunn has been out of the lineup for a few weeks now after being diagnosed with a strained right shoulder. While the news is encouraging, it is unlikely that the 25-year-old will be back anytime […]

Trevor Cahill Sent To 60-Day Injured List

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Trevor Cahill (calf) was transferred to the 60-day injured list on Friday. Cahill has been dealing with a left calf strain for almost a month, and it appears as if things aren't moving in the right direction. It's unlikely fantasy managers will miss him, though, especially considering how bad he has […]

David Peterson Sent To The 10-Day Injured List

New York Mets starting pitcher David Peterson (side) landed on the 10-day injured list on Friday. The southpaw exited Wednesday's start against Atlanta because of side discomfort after just three innings of work. Peterson has taken a step back after posting a 6-2 record in 2020, and he is currently sporting a reversed 2-6 record […]

Marcus Stroman Activated From Bereavement List

New York Mets starting pitcher Marcus Stroman (personal) was activated from the bereavement list on Friday. The veteran only spent a few days with the designation, and the announcement opens the door for him to make his scheduled start against the Yankees on Saturday. Stroman has been a relatively consistent source of production for fantasy […]

Taylor Widener To Have Another Rehab Start Saturday

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Taylor Widener (groin) is scheduled to throw another rehab session on Saturday. This will be Widener's second start at High-A Hillsboro as he continues to ramp up his activity level. The team will likely play it safe with the 26-year-old by not rushing him back, primarily after being bothered by the […]

Knicks Rumored To Target Kelly Oubre Jr.

Forward Kelly Oubre Jr. is reportedly considered a top free-agent target for the Knicks during the offseason. As the team attempts to fill the void at the point guard position, Oubre could be an attractive commodity and help the organization land a big name. The 25-year-old has proven to be one of the most dynamic […]

Kemba Walker To Los Angeles?

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Kemba Walker could find himself in Los Angeles for the 2021-22 campaign, possibly suiting up for the Lakers or Clippers. The veteran was recently traded to OKC from Boston in exchange for Al Horford, although Walker may never see the floor for his current team. With both L.A. organizations in need […]

Sixers Reportedly Interested In Damian Lillard

Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard is rumored to be on the Sixers' radar heading into the 2021-22 season. The veteran, who is under contract throughout the 2024-25 campaign after signing a supermax extension a few years ago, has reportedly grown frustrated with the direction of his current employer. Of course, a trade involving Lillard […]

Victor Oladipo May Not Play Next Season

Guard Victor Oladipo (quadriceps) could miss the entire 2021-22 season. Oladipo was once considered one of the top up-and-coming young stars in the league, primarily after he averaged 23.1 points per game with the Pacers during the 2018 campaign. However, constant quad injuries and surgeries have derailed his career, and as a result, he's appeared […]

Hunter Harvey Dealing With Shoulder Issue

Baltimore Orioles pitcher Hunter Harvey (shoulder) is considered day-to-day. The 26-year-old was due to enter the game against Houston on Wednesday night, but he was ultimately held out after experiencing right shoulder discomfort while warming up. The news is concerning, primarily since he has already spent most of the year on the 60-day IL because […]

Kolten Wong Aggravates Calf Issue

Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Kolten Wong (calf) exited Thursday's matchup against Pittsburgh. The timing isn't good, primarily since the veteran missed three games already this week because of the ailment. With the calf tightness not going away, it wouldn't be unreasonable to assume that Wong may be nearing a stint on the 10-day injured list. […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic Available For Game 5

Atlanta Hawks forward Bogdan Bogdanovic (knee) is available to play against the Bucks on Thursday evening. Bogdanovic has been a frequent occupant on the team's official injury report over the last few weeks but has continued to play despite the ailment. With Trae Young (foot) out of the lineup for Game 5 of the Eastern […]

Clint Capela Available On Thursday Evening

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (eye) will be in the lineup for Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Thursday night. Capela was forced out of Game 4 on Tuesday after taking an accidental elbow to the face. While it's fortunate that the former Rocket will give it a go against Milwaukee, he has […]
