Chauncey Billups Expected To Be Named Blazers Coach

Jamal Murray Remains Without A Return Date

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (knee) does not have a timetable for a return.

Knicks Reportedly Interested In Lonzo Ball

New Orleans Pelicans guard Lonzo Ball is rumored to be on the Knicks' radar for the 2021-22 campaign.

Bogdan Bogdanovic Still Dealing With Soreness

Atlanta Hawks forward Bogdan Bogdanovic (knee) is questionable for the Game 3 Eastern Conference Finals matchup against the Bucks.

The […]

Kawhi Leonard Unlikely For Game 5

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) likely won't travel to Phoenix with his teammates.

Leonard suffered an ACL injury in his right knee during the previous […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Probable For Game 3

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) popped up on injury report ahead of Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals. The former MVP is currently dealing with tightness in his left calf, although it doesn't appear severe enough to hold him out. However, if the team goes up big on the Hawks as it did […]

Zach Plesac Throws Another Bullpen Outing

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Zach Plesac (thumb) threw another bullpen session on Saturday. The 26-year-old continues to make progress after he suffered a fractured thumb back at the end of May.

J.B. Bukauskas Throws Pen Session

Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher J.B. Bukauskas (elbow) threw a bullpen session on Saturday. Nonetheless, he still remains without a firm return date as he continues to work his way back from a strained elbow suffered back in mid-May.

Ketel Marte Exits Saturday’s Matchup

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Ketel Marte (hamstring) exited Saturday's contest against the Padres. The 27-year-old has been dealing with hamstring tightness, and he missed a few games during the week already as a result.

Bryce Harper May Not Play On Sunday

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper (leg) may not be available for the series finale against the Mets. Harper was nailed in the left leg on Saturday by a 91.6 mph Jacob deGrom changeup, which resulted in his premature exit.

Evan Longoria Resuming Baseball Activities

San Francisco Giants third baseman Evan Longoria (shoulder) resumed baseball activities on Friday. The veteran is anticipated to be out for up to eight weeks as he continues to deal with a left shoulder strain. Longoria was playing well before succumbing to the ailment, batting .280 in addition to 45 hits, 28 RBI, 26 runs, […]

Buster Posey Out Of The Lineup On Friday

San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey (back) is not in the starting lineup on Friday. The veteran is dealing with lower back tightness, although it isn't known precisely how severe it is. Curt Casali will get some work as the temporary backstop against the Athletics, but he doesn't offer much of an upside, so fantasy […]

Logan Webb To Throw In A Sim Inning

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Logan Webb (shoulder) will toss in a simulated inning this week. The 24-year-old played well before going down because of a strained right shoulder, compiling a record of 4-3 and a 3.86 ERA, with 54 strikeouts, throughout nine starts this year. Though the righty still has a way to go, […]

Enoli Paredes Heading To Sugar Land

Houston Astros starting pitcher Enoli Paredes (shoulder) will report to Sugar Land for a rehab assignment within the next week.

Paredes is sporting a miserable 6.23 ERA out of […]

Trevor Williams Almost Ready For Rehab

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Trevor Williams (appendix) is nearing a rehab assignment.

Alec Mills has been filling in as a member of the rotation and is worth […]

David Bote Could Begin Rehab Stint Soon

Chicago Cubs second baseman David Bote (shoulder) could begin a rehab assignment as early as next week. The 28-year-old has been out for about a month now after dislocating his left shoulder during a matchup against the Cincinnati Reds. However, it's unlikely he's missed much by anyone, primarily after batting just .201 throughout 161 plate […]

Justin Dunn Visits A Specialist

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Justin Dunn (shoulder) recently visited a specialist, with the team expected to provide an update over the weekend. Dunn remains out of the lineup after he was diagnosed with a muscle strain in his right shoulder nearly a week ago. The righty was initially expected to be shut down for two […]

Travis Blankenhorn Called Up From Syracuse

New York Mets second baseman Travis Blankenhorn was recalled from Triple-A on Friday. The 24-year-old, who was optioned just two weeks ago, will suit up for another stint with the big club after Jonathan Villar (calf) was placed on the 10-day injured reserve. The 24-year-old hasn't done much outside of Syracuse, compiling just one hit […]

Jonathan Villar Placed On 10-Day Injured List

New York Mets second baseman Jonathan Villar (calf) has been placed on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to June 22. Villar suffered a right calf strain during Monday's doubleheader against the Atlanta Braves but likely won't need to spend much time on the shelf. However, with the Mets dealing with a plethora of injuries, the […]

Abdel Nader Cleared For Action

Phoenix Suns guard Abdel Nader (knee) has been cleared to play and is expected to be available for Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals. The 27-year-old has been absent since March after undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery. While conditioning could be an issue, he may be thrust into a larger role against Los Angeles, primarily […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic Good For Game 2

Atlanta Hawks guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (knee) is available for Friday's matchup against Milwaukee. Bogdanovic has been dealing with soreness in his right knee and carried the same designation heading into the series opener on Wednesday, so his availability isn't a surprise by any means. However, he was obviously plagued by the ailment, finishing the Game […]

Cameron Payne Could Miss Saturday’s Contest

Phoenix Suns guard Cameron Payne (ankle) could miss the Game 4 matchup against the Clippers. The 26-year-old injured his left ankle during Thursday's loss to Los Angeles and was relegated to just four minutes as a result. Chris Paul (illness) returned for Game 3 after being sidelined due to COVID-19, so Payne probably wouldn't have […]

Marcus Morris Sr. Questionable Against Suns

Los Angeles Clippers forward Marcus Morris Sr. (knee) is considered a game-time call against the Suns on Saturday evening. Morris has been plagued by left knee soreness since injuring it in Game 1 on Sunday. While there is a good chance that the veteran will be available, he could be relegated to a lesser role, […]

Kawhi Leonard Won’t Play In Game 4

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) won't play on Saturday night against Phoenix. This isn't a surprise, primarily since there have been rumblings that the veteran may not be back for the rest of the postseason as he continues to deal with an ACL injury in his right knee. Of course, Paul George should […]

Niko Goodrum Not Close To Returning

Detroit Tigers infielder Niko Goodrum (finger) hasn't resumed baseball activities. Goodrum is currently on the 10-day injured list as he continues to try to work his way back from a sprained left index finger. While the 29-year-old hasn't done much in most areas, his 12 stolen bases throughout 59 games should keep him somewhat relevant […]

Spencer Turnbull Likely Out Until After Break

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Spencer Turnbull (forearm) isn't expected to return until after the All-Star break. The veteran currently owns a 4-2 record and a 2.88 ERA throughout nine starts this season. He has been out of the lineup since the beginning of June due to a strained forearm and just recently began a throwing […]

J.B. Bukauskas Continues To Make Progress

Arizona Diamondbacks relief pitcher J.B. Bukauskas (forearm) remains without a firm return date.

Madison Bumgarner Throws Bullpen Session

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Madison Bumgarner (shoulder) logged a bullpen session on Monday, throwing 20 pitches in total. However, the lefty still has a way to go after being out since the start of June with left shoulder inflammation. With the rotation also missing Taylor Widener (groin), J.B. Bukauskas (elbow), and Seth Frankoff (forearm), Corbin […]
