Max Kepler To Start Rehab Assignment On Sunday

Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler (hamstring) will start his rehab assignment on Sunday. The 28-year-old has been out since May 29 because of a strained left hamstring, so it appears as if he is inching closer to making it back to the big club. Kepler is batting .212, with 28 hits, 22 RBI, 20 runs, […]

Luke Voit To Begin Rehab Stint On Sunday

New York Yankees first baseman Luke Voit (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment on Sunday.

Aaron Judge Not In The Lineup On Sunday

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (back) isn't in the lineup on Sunday against Philly.

More on his status moving forward should be revealed ahead of the Bomber's upcoming series […]

Nick Senzel Transferred To 60-Day Injured List

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Nick Senzel (knee) was transferred to the 60-day injured list on Sunday. The 25-year-old had surgery on his left knee back in May to address inflammation and isn't expected to return until July anyway, so the move appears to be more of a formality. Senzel is batting .252, with 28 hits, 18 […]

Dodgers Place Max Muncy On IL

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Max Muncy (oblique) was placed on the 10-day injured list.

Michael Conforto Runs The Bases On Saturday

New York Mets outfielder Michael Conforto (hamstring) was spotted running the bases at Citi Field prior to Saturday's game against the Padres.

Fantasy managers just need […]

New York Mets outfielder Billy McKinney (knee) wasn't in the lineup on Saturday due to a sore right knee. He had an MRI, which returned positive results, meaning the 26-year-old is day-to-day moving forward.

Travis Shaw Transferred To 60-Day Injured List

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Travis Shaw (shoulder) was officially transferred to the 60-day injured list on Saturday.

Shaw is eligible to come off the IL in August, and if […]

Max Muncy Out On Saturday Night

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Max Muncy (side) will not play for the second game of the series against the Rangers.

Manager Dave Roberts also indicated that there […]

Cody Bellinger Expected Back On Sunday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Cody Bellinger (cramps) is anticipated to return for the series finale against the Rangers, according to skipper Dave Roberts.

More on his status […]

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.

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.

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.

Jeff Green Expected To Return Soon

Brooklyn Nets forward Jeff Green (foot) is expected to return during the series against Milwaukee.

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 […]
