Trevor Williams Lands On 10-Day Injured List

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Trevor Williams (appendicitis) was placed on the 10-day injured list. This isn't a surprise, primarily since he was pulled from his scheduled start on Monday to have an emergency appendectomy. The 29-year-old has a 5.36 ERA and a 3-2 record this season, so fantasy managers who still have him on the […]

Matt Duffy Working Toward Return

Chicago Cubs third baseman Matt Duffy (back) has recently been doing some light swinging. The 30-year-old has been on the 10-day injured list while tending to a lower back strain and is eligible to come off soon. Although it is unknown when he will be available to return to the lineup, Tuesday's news was certainly […]

Chris Sale Starting To Increase Intensity

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Chris Sale (elbow) continues to move in the right direction. Sale has reportedly begun to increase both the intensity and length of his throwing sessions, which is more good news. The veteran is recovering from Tommy John surgery and could be back on the field within the next few months, […]

PJ Dozier Out On Tuesday As Expected

Denver Nuggets guard PJ Dozier (hip) is out for the Game 5 matchup against Portland. Dozier has been out since the beginning of May due to a strained right adductor, so his absence was more than expected. Without him, Facundo Campazzo, Austin Rivers, and Monte Morris should all continue to handle most of the work […]

Will Barton Out Again On Tuesday Evening

Denver Nuggets forward Will Barton (hamstring) is out for Game 5 against Portland. This isn't a surprise, primarily since the veteran hasn't played in over a month while tending to a strained right hamstring. He was observed riding the bike on the sidelines during the Game 4 loss to the Blazers, which is good news, […]

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Questionable On Tuesday

Los Angeles Lakers guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup with Phoenix. KCP injured his left knee in Game 3, and although he was trending in the right direction ahead of Game 4 on Sunday, he ultimately wasn't healthy enough to play. If the 28-year-old isn't in uniform for Game 5, veteran Wesley […]

Chris Paul Likely To Play Against Lakers

Phoenix Suns guard Chris Paul (shoulder) will likely play on Tuesday against the Lakers. The 36-year-old injured his right shoulder earlier in the series, and while there were rumblings he wouldn't be available for Game 4, he managed to play and finish with a team-high 18 points. With head coach Monty Williams allotting heavy minutes […]

Jusuf Nurkic Available For Game 5

Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic (thumb) is available for the Game 5 postseason matchup versus Denver. Nurkic popped up on the injury report with a left thumb bruise, although it is apparent the ailment isn't severe enough to keep him out.

Anthony Davis Questionable On Tuesday

Los Angeles Lakers forward Anthony Davis (groin) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's matchup with the Suns.

The 28-year-old suffered a left groin strain during the loss to Phoenix on Sunday, and […]

Robert Williams III Unlikely Available For Game 5

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (ankle) is doubtful for Tuesday's postseason showdown with the Nets. Williams sprained his left ankle in Game 3 after just six minutes of work and wasn't on the floor on Sunday during the loss to Brooklyn. Without him, Tristan Thompson should continue to see an increase in DFS popularity. […]

Kemba Walker Doubtful For Game 5

Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker (knee) is doubtful to play during the Game 5 matchup against the Brooklyn Nets. The veteran is currently dealing with a bruised left knee and wasn't in the lineup for the Game 4 loss as a result. Without Walker in the mix, Romeo Langford and Payton Pritchard should split minutes […]

Davis Bertans Done For Remainder Of Game 4

Washington Wizards forward Davis Bertans (calf) was ruled out for the remainder of the Game 4 matchup against Philly. Bertans suffered a right calf strain midway through the third quarter, and considering that he's had issues with it this season, it wouldn't be shocking for him to miss Game 5 on Wednesday night (if necessary).

Davis Bertans Injured In Game 4

Washington Wizards forward Davis Bertans (leg) left Monday's matchup against Philadelphia. Bertans got injured midway through the third quarter and was helped off the floor while favoring his right leg.

Huascar Ynoa Transferred To 60-Day IL

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Huascar Ynoa (hand) was transferred to the 60-day injured list on Monday. The news isn't a surprise, especially since he was originally projected to miss a few months anyway because of a fractured right hand. In a corresponding move, the team selected the contract of Abraham Almonte while optioning Jay Flaa […]

Joel Embiid Out For The Rest Of Game 4

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) will not return on Monday night against the Wizards. Embiid came down hard on his tailbone late in the first quarter, but team officials report that it is a right knee injury that will keep him out for the rest of Game 4. Although the severity of the ailment […]

J.D. Davis Not Resuming Rehab On Tuesday

New York Mets third baseman J.D. Davis (hand) won't resume his rehab assignment on Tuesday, as previously reported. Davis suffered a setback last week after an MRI revealed joint inflammation in his left hand. Although he may be close to getting back on the field at Triple-A Syracuse, he remains without a timetable to return.

Kyle Lewis Injured On Monday

Seattle Mariners outfielder Kyle Lewis (knee) exited Monday's matchup against the Athletics. Lewis injured his right knee while fielding in the eighth inning, which isn't good news, especially since it is the same knee that bothered him during Spring Training. The 25-year-old has picked things up from what fantasy managers saw at the beginning of […]

Joel Embiid Injured On Monday Night

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (hip/back) left Monday's contest against the Wizards. The big man came down hard on his hip and back toward the end of the first quarter and was escorted back to the locker room for further examination. Embiid's status moving ahead is unknown at the moment, but Dwight Howard should be […]

Bradley Beal Injured During Game 4

Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal (knee) left Monday's matchup against Philadelphia. The veteran was observed holding his right knee and subsequently taken to the bench for further evaluation. Russell Westbrook (ankle) checked back into the contest after re-aggravating his right ankle injury minutes before, so he is the favorite to see more chances on the […]

Russell Westbrook Aggravates Ankle Injury

Washington Wizards guard Russell Westbrook (ankle) has exited Monday's matchup against the Sixers. The veteran aggravated his ailing right ankle halfway through the first quarter and was subsequently taken back to the locker room. His status for the remainder of the contest is unknown, although it would be a surprise if he didn't return, especially […]

MRI Comes Back Clean For Kevin Gausman

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Kevin Gausman (hip) is confident he will make his next start. The veteran was pulled from Sunday's matchup against the Dodgers with tightness in his left hip, an ailment that has been bothering him for weeks. However, after an MRI came back clean, he has a chance at being good […]

Jacob deGrom On The Hill Against Arizona

New York Mets starting pitcher Jacob deGrom will be on the bump for Monday's matchup against the Diamondbacks. The 32-year-old was scheduled to start on Sunday night against Atlanta. However, after the game was postponed due to inclement weather, deGrom will now pitch against an Arizona club that is batting just .232 against right-handed pitching […]

Lance McCullers Jr. Could Return In June

Houston Astros starting pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. (shoulder) could return sometime in mid-June, according to skipper Dusty Baker. The righty recently landed on the 10-day injured list after experiencing soreness in his throwing arm. The 27-year-old has a 3-1 record and a 2.96 ERA this season and is worth a stash until he can return.

Jose Urquidy Starting On Monday

Houston Astros starting pitcher Jose Urquidy (shoulder) will be on the bump for Monday's matchup against the Red Sox. Urquidy has been out of the lineup since May 12 due to shoulder inflammation and has made a few appearances with Double-A Corpus Christi. The 26-year-old has a 3.22 ERA this season but will have his […]

Yuli Gurriel May Return During Series With Red Sox

Houston Astros first baseman Yuli Gurriel (finger) won't play on Monday against the Red Sox. The veteran is currently dealing with left middle finger inflammation and hasn't been in the lineup since Friday's loss to the Padres. Taylor Jones and Aledmys Diaz will alternate between DH and first base, depending on the matchup, until Gurriel […]

Yordan Alvarez Out Again

Houston Astros designated hitter Yordan Alvarez (wrist) will not be in the starting lineup against the Red Sox. The 23-year-old has been dealing with a right wrist issue since Wednesday, and although he has been available to pinch-hit, Dusty Baker will likely continue to play it safe by keeping him out. The injury doesn't appear […]

Cal Quantrill Starting On Monday Night

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Cal Quantrill will start Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader against the White Sox. The right-hander hasn't done much this season and will be coming off his latest outing against the Tigers on Wednesday where he logged just three innings of work. Fantasy managers looking to fill a void should look elsewhere, […]

Triston McKenzie To Start Game 1 Of Doubleheader

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Triston McKenzie will take the hill for Game 1 of Monday's doubleheader against the White Sox. The 23-year-old hasn't looked good this season, sporting a 5.94 ERA to go along with a record of one win and three losses. Chicago has played well against right-handed pitching this season, so fantasy managers […]

Robert Williams III May Sit Again For Game 5

Boston Celtics forward Robert Williams III (ankle) is considered day-to-day but may not play in Tuesday's matchup against Brooklyn. The big man was relegated to just six minutes in Game 3 after spraining his left ankle and wasn't available for Game 4. He has also been dealing with turf toe, so he is likely trending […]
