Jeimer Candelario Placed On COVID-19 IL

Detroit Tigers infielder Jeimer Candelario has been placed on the COVID-19 IL. The 27-year-old recently spent time on the bereavement list because of a death in his family. However, since he was out of the country, he will need to clear protocols before returning to the lineup, which is expected sometime next week.

Mike Moustakas May Return For Upcoming Road Trip

Cincinnati Reds infielder Mike Moustakas (heel) has a chance to return during the team's upcoming nine-game road trip. The itinerary includes stops in Milwaukee and San Diego before ending in Minnesota on June 22, though it's unknown exactly which of these games he'll make it back for. The veteran has been out since mid-May because […]

Luis Severino Dealing With A Groin Injury

New York Yankees pitcher Luis Severino (groin) exited Saturday's rehab start for High-A Hudson Valley. Not good news, primarily since this is only the righty's second outing since having Tommy John Surgery back on February 27, 2020. The 27-year-old will have an MRI on Sunday to determine how bad the injury is. However, things aren't […]

Wil Crowe Starting On Sunday

Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Wil Crowe will start on Sunday in Milwaukee. This will be the righty's first time on the bump for the big club since being optioned to Triple-A at the beginning of June. Nonetheless, fantasy managers looking for someone to fill a void may want to try elsewhere, primarily after the 26-year-old has […]

Trevor Cahill Heading Back To The IL

Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Trevor Cahill (calf) is going back on the 10-day injured list. This isn't good news for the veteran, who was freshly activated from the IL a few days ago after missing three weeks because of the same ailment, a left calf strain. The 33-year-old was recently shifted to a bullpen role after […]

Positive News For Jacob deGrom

New York Mets starting pitcher Jacob deGrom (hand) had an MRI on Saturday. The results were positive, indicating no structural damage, which is welcome news for fantasy managers after the ace exited Friday's start against the Padres because of right flexor tendonitis. deGrom was spotted playing catch at Citi Field on Saturday afternoon and is […]

Trevor Rogers Heads To The IL

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Trevor Rogers has been placed on the injured list. The 23-year-old doesn't currently have an official designation, so many are suspecting it is COVID-19 related. While it is unknown if he tested positive for the virus, was exposed, or is dealing with vaccine side effects, the news is unfortunate, especially after […]

Hunter Strickland Heading To Milwaukee

The Los Angeles Angeles traded pitcher Hunter Strickland to Milwaukee on Saturday for cash considerations. The journeyman recorded a 1.69 ERA throughout 13 games in Tampa Bay earlier in the year before being dealt to Los Angeles in May. However, he saw a significant regression in production while wearing an Angels' uniform, positing a miserable […]

Xander Bogaerts Officially Out On Saturday

Boston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts (knee) is officially out on Saturday against Toronto. The 28-year-old will now miss his second-straight contest after being a late scratch on Friday evening because of left knee soreness. He still has a chance to make it back for either (or both) of the final two games of the […]

Travis Shaw To Rehab Until August Before Deciding On Surgery

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Travis Shaw (shoulder) will try to rehab until August before deciding on surgery. The 31-year-old suffered a nasty dislocation of his left elbow on Wednesday against the Reds but will try to work his way back before deciding whether or not he needs to go under the knife. If rehab doesn't improve […]

Daniel Hudson Placed On 10-Day IL

Washington Nationals relief pitcher Daniel Hudson (elbow) was placed on the 10-day injured list. The veteran had an MRI on Friday, which revealed right elbow inflammation. While Hudson is a two-time Tommy John recipient, manager Dave Martinez indicated that the issue is in the "back of the elbow," so the team isn't overly concerned, primarily […]

James Harden Unlikely For Game 4

Brooklyn Nets guard James Harden (hamstring) is likely out on Sunday against Milwaukee. Harden continues to deal with nagging right hamstring tightness, which he suffered during Game 1 of the series back on June 5. The team has kept the former MVP's status moving ahead mostly under wraps, but if the Nets can't make it […]

Danny Green To Have MRI On Sunday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Danny Green (calf) will have an MRI on Sunday but isn't expected to suit up for Game 4 against the Hawks. Green strained his right calf in the first quarter during Friday's win over the Hawks. The veteran hasn't played well during the series, racking up just nine points while going 1-for-9 […]

Pascal Siakam Undergoes Shoulder Surgery

Toronto Raptors forward Pascal Siakam (shoulder) recently underwent surgery. The big man tore his labrum during a regular-season encounter against the Grizzlies back on May 8, and after going under the knife to repair it, he isn't expected back until November, at the earliest. The 27-year-old emerged as arguably the Raptor's top offensive weapon over […]

Serge Ibaka Officially Done For The Year

Los Angeles Clippers forward Serge Ibaka (back) is done for the year. The veteran went under the knife on Thursday to address the lingering back pain that caused him to miss 30-straight contests toward the end of the regular season. Ibaka signed a two-year, $19 million deal back in November. His status for training camp […]

Mike Conley Questionable On Saturday Night

Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley (hamstring) is questionable for the Game 3 matchup against the Clippers. The veteran continues to deal with a right hamstring strain, an injury that has plagued him intermittently over the last few seasons. He has yet to suit up during the series against Los Angeles, and it would be a […]

Jeff Green Expected To Return Soon

Brooklyn Nets forward Jeff Green (foot) is expected to return during the series against Milwaukee. According to head coach Steve Nash, the veteran is progressing "nicely" and could even make it back as soon as Game 4 on Sunday. Green has been out since the end of May because of a strained left foot. However, […]

Questionable Video Surfaces Involving Jacob deGrom

New York Mets starting pitcher Jacob deGrom has found himself caught up in baseball's recent controversy surrounding pitchers and the use of foreign substances. A viral video surfaced over the last few days, which appeared to show the ace touching his belt and glove before tossing a pitch during a recent contest. deGrom has played […]

Gavin Lux Not Starting Against Texas On Saturday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Gavin Lux won't start on Saturday against the Rangers. Rangers southpaw Kolby Allard will be on the bump, so Dave Roberts will play it safe by keeping Lux and Cody Bellinger, who are both left-handed batters, out for strategic purposes. Instead, Mookie Betts will cover center field while Albert Pujols will […]

Cody Bellinger Not Starting On Saturday

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman/outfielder Cody Bellinger will not be in the starting lineup on Saturday against the Rangers. Kolby Allard has made life miserable for left-handed batters this season, so Dave Roberts made the call for strategic purposes. Gavin Lux will also be benched against Texas, so fantasy managers should expect Mookie Betts to […]

Travis Shaw Will Try To Avoid Surgery

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Travis Shaw (shoulder) will look to avoid surgery. The 31-year-old dislocated his left shoulder on Wednesday night during a meeting with the Reds but will attempt rehab before opting to go under the knife. He currently sits on the 10-day injured list, and if all goes well, he could be back before […]

Corey Seager Almost Ready For Rehab Assignment

Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Corey Seager (hand) is "about two weeks away" from reporting for a rehab assignment, according to manager Dave Roberts. Seager has been out of the mix since mid-May due to a fractured right hand, so the latest update from the skipper is certainly welcome news for fantasy managers. The 27-year-old is […]

Enoli Paredes Heads To The 10-Day IL

Houston Astros pitcher Enoli Paredes (shoulder) has been moved to the 10-day injured list. The 25-year-old exited Thursday's matchup against the Red Sox and was later diagnosed with a strained right shoulder. Paredes has appeared in 12 games this season, racking up a 6.23 ERA throughout just 8.2 innings of work. The 25-year-old has upside […]

Tyler Ivey Done For The Year

Houston Astros starting pitcher Tyler Ivey is done for the year. The 25-year-old may be heading for surgery to address Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, which is unfortunate news considering he recently made his MLB debut. Ivey currently owns a 7.71 ERA, with three strikeouts, throughout only one game this season. He isn't worth much from a […]

Chris Owings Nearly Ready For A Rehab Stint

Colorado Rockies second baseman Chris Owings (thumb) may begin a rehab assignment on Sunday, according to skipper Bud Black. The 29-year-old was eligible to come off the 60-day injured list on Wednesday, a space he has occupied since the beginning of April because of a sprained thumb. While Black's revelation certainly indicates Owings is making […]

Mike Moustakas Continues Making Progress

Cincinnati Reds infielder Mike Moustakas (heel) has reportedly been running the bases. Skipper David Bell recently indicated that the veteran is nearing a rehab assignment, which is welcome news for the veteran, who has been out since May 13 because of a bruised heel. The 32-year-old is already eligible to come off the 10-day injured […]

Coby White Undergoes Successful Surgery

Chicago Bulls guard Coby White (shoulder) underwent successful surgery on Thursday. White injured his left shoulder while playing in a game away from the team and is scheduled to be evaluated again in four months. Not good news for the former 2019 first-round pick, who had spots of efficiency during the 2021 campaign while also […]

Michael Porter Jr. Probable For Game 3

Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. (back) will likely play in Game 3 against Phoenix. The 22-year-old has been dealing with tightness in his lower back since Game 1 but still managed to suit up for Game 2 on Wednesday. However, he has struggled during this series, averaging just 13 points and 6.5 boards. With […]

PJ Dozier Out Again On Friday

Denver Nuggets guard PJ Dozier (hip) remains out ahead of the Game 3 matchup against Phoenix. Dozier hasn't played since the end of May, and with the Nuggets dropping the first two games of the series, we may have already seen the last of him this season. Facundo Campazzo and Austin Rivers should continue to […]

Joel Embiid Lands On The Injury Report Once Again

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) is questionable for the Game 3 matchup against Atlanta. Embiid carried the same designation heading into the first two contests of the series but still managed to play, so he will likely be in the lineup on Friday evening. The ailment hasn't slowed him down either, primarily after he […]
