James Harden Remains Without A Return Date

Brooklyn Nets guard James Harden (hamstring) remains without a timetable to return.

An MRI on Harden's right hamstring revealed no structural […]

Aaron Sanchez Reports For Rehab Assignment

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Aaron Sanchez (biceps) reported to Triple-A Sacramento on Monday to begin his rehab assignment. Sanchez has been out for about a month now while dealing with biceps tightness. The righty has a 1-1 record and a 3.18 ERA throughout six starts this season, so fantasy managers in deeper formats are […]

Tony Gonsolin Expected To Start On Wednesday

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tony Gonsolin (shoulder) is expected to start Wednesday's matchup against Pittsburgh. This will be Gonsolin's season debut as he sat on the injured list since Spring Training because of right shoulder inflammation.

Mike Trout Likely To Ramp Up Workouts Soon

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (calf) was "pleased" with his workout on Monday.

Huascar Ynoa Not Expected Back Until August

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Huascar Ynoa (hand) isn't expected back until late August. The 23-year-old was transferred to the 60-day injured list a week ago due to a fractured right hand, so this isn't a surprise, although the latest news provides a bit more clarity for fantasy managers. Ynoa has a 3.02 ERA and a […]

Spencer Turnbull Receives Positive News

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Spencer Turnbull (forearm) received an MRI on Sunday. Manager A.J. Hinch was pleased with the results, indicating that further evaluation showed that the forearm is "structurally sound."

Joey Votto Still Dealing With Soreness

Cincinnati Reds first baseman Joey Votto (thumb) was sore following Saturday's rehab game.

Tyler Naquin Could Return On Tuesday

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Tyler Naquin (hamstring) could return for Tuesday's series opener against Milwaukee. Naquin left Sunday's matchup against St. Louis with left hamstring tightness, but it appears that he will be good to go with a few day's rest. The veteran is batting .257 to go along with 38 RBI, 20 runs, 11 dingers, […]

Nick Senzel Expected Back In Mid-July

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Nick Senzel (knee) is expected to return in mid-July. Senzel had surgery over a week ago to address inflammation in his left knee and landed on the 10-day injured list as a result. However, with a .261 average, fantasy managers outside of dynasty formats can safely drop him without looking back.

Trevor Williams Plays Catch On Sunday

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Trevor Williams (appendix) was observed playing catch on Sunday, a good sign after he recently underwent an emergency appendectomy. The 29-year-old is currently sitting on the 10-day injured list and could be ready to pitch sometime in mid-June. However, with a 5.36 ERA on the year, it's unlikely any fantasy managers […]

Alec Mills Looks Good In Rehab Start

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Alec Mills (back) threw 60 pitches during his most recent rehab start for Triple-A Iowa, logging six scoreless innings while striking out four batters. This is a step in the right direction for Mills, who has been out of the lineup since mid-May because of a lower back strain. He was […]

Chicago Cubs shortstop Javier Baez (hand) was injured during Sunday's matchup against the Giants.

J.D. Martinez Not Expected To Be Out Long

Boston Red Sox outfielder J.D. Martinez (wrist) isn't expected to land on the injured list, at least according to manager Alex Cora. Martinez injured his left wrist while sliding into second base during Friday's encounter with the Yankees. The veteran is batting .321 to go along with 41 runs, 39 RBI, and 12 homers this […]

Rockies Hopeful Jon Gray Misses Only One Start

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Jon Gray (forearm) may miss just one chance through the rotation. The 29-year-old landed on the 10-day injured list with a right forearm flexor strain, retroactive to June 5, so there is a hope that he is back for the upcoming home stands against either the Padres or Brewers. While Gray […]

Aledmys Diaz Out Up To Two Months

Houston Astros utility man Aledmys Diaz (hand) will be out for up to two months. Diaz left Saturday's matchup against Toronto after getting nailed in the left hand by a 92 mph pitch. He was initially diagnosed with a bruise. However, further tests revealed a fracture, which is unfortunate news for fantasy managers. Diaz was […]

Michael Kopech Progressing Well

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Michael Kopech (hamstring) is "progressing well," according to manager Tony La Russa. This is good news for the 25-year-old, who has two wins across three starts while sporting a respectable 1.72 ERA throughout 31 innings of work this season. Kopech is eligible to come off the 10-day injured list in […]

Jake Marisnick Could Be Back On Monday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Joc Pederson (back) wasn't in the lineup on Sunday for the series finale against San Francisco. Pederson left Saturday's matchup due to tightness in his lower back, and he remains day-to-day heading into the upcoming three-game stint against the Padres. More information regarding his status should come by Monday morning, although a […]

Joel Embiid Will Play In Game 1

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) will play during the series opener against the Hawks. Embiid is currently dealing with a small meniscus tear in his right knee and wasn't available for the Game 5 win over the Wizards. While it is certainly welcome news for fantasy managers and fans alike, it's realistic to expect […]

James Harden Day-To-Day

Brooklyn Nets guard James Harden (hamstring) is considered day-to-day. Harden played just one minute during Saturday's win over the Bucks before exiting with a right hamstring injury. The former MVP dealt with the same ailment toward the end of the regular season and was forced to miss significant time. He will have an MRI, but […]

Serge Ibaka Doubtful For Game 7

Dallas Mavericks forward Serge Ibaka (back) is doubtful for Sunday's matchup against the Mavericks. This really isn't news, primarily since the big man has been plagued by the back issue for months now and only appeared sparingly during the first two games of the series. L.A. should continue to utilize small-ball lineups, which should allow […]

Maxi Kleber Expected To Play In Game 7

Dallas Mavericks forward Maxi Kleber (Achilles) should play in the series finale against the Clippers. Kleber has carried the same designation throughout the series but has still been in the lineup, averaging 6.2 points and 4.2 rebounds throughout 29.7 minutes per game. Although he routinely doesn't contribute much from a fantasy perspective, he still has […]

Luka Doncic Probable For Finale

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (neck) is expected to play during the series finale with the Clippers. A cervical strain has plagued Doncic, an ailment he picked up during the Game 3 loss to L.A. back on May 28. The 22-year-old has played well at Staples Center during this series, averaging 37 points throughout three […]

Kris Dunn Out For Game 1

Atlanta Hawks guard Kris Dunn (illness) will not be available for Game 1 against the 76ers. The veteran is currently dealing with a non-COVID-related sickness, although he wasn't expected to see many minutes anyway. His status for Game 2 is uncertain at this time.

De’Andre Hunter Questionable Against Philly

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (knee) is questionable to play for the series opener against Philadelphia. Hunter dealt with right knee soreness throughout the first-round matchup against the Knicks but still was able to log 30 minutes while averaging 10.8 points and four rebounds per contest. Although he isn't the most reliable option on the […]

Aledmys Diaz Exits Saturday’s Game Due To Injury

Houston Astros second baseman Aledmys Diaz (hand) exited Saturday's game against Toronto. Diaz was nailed by a pitch in the fourth inning and was officially diagnosed with a left-hand contusion. While the injury could have been worse, it certainly isn't welcome news for fantasy managers who have enjoyed his uptick in production this season. There […]

Jon Gray Moves To The IL

Colorado Rockies pitcher Jon Gray (elbow) has landed on the 10-day injured list. The veteran was forced out of Friday's matchup against Oakland with right elbow soreness. He was initially listed as day-to-day, but apparently, the team believes it will take him a while to make it back from the ailment. Chi Chi Gonzalez will […]
