Fantasy Football Dynasty Rookie Mock Draft: RotoBaller Staff Picks (12 Teams, Superflex)

It has been more than 20 Sundays since we watched the Eagles stun the Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX. The NFL's offseason is longer than that of its counterparts in America's "big four" professional sports leagues, and it certainly feels that way at this time of year. But hang in there, fantasy gamers. Not only […]

Max Muncy Goes on Injured List With Knee Bruise

The Los Angeles Dodgers placed third baseman Max Muncy (knee) on the 10-day injured list on Thursday with a left-knee bone bruise and recalled outfielder Esteury Ruiz from Triple-A Oklahoma City in a corresponding move. This was the expectation after Muncy injured his knee on Wednesday night in a win over Chicago when White Sox […]

Will Smith Absent Against White Sox

Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Will Smith will take the day off against the Chicago White Sox in Thursday's series finale at Dodger Stadium. Rookie Dalton Rushing is behind the plate to catch right-hander Dustin May and will bat eighth against White Sox right-hander Aaron Civale. It's an odd day to give Smith the day off […]

Max Muncy Out of Thursday's Lineup

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy (knee) is not in the team's starting lineup for Thursday's series finale against the visiting Chicago White Sox. Fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised after Muncy had a scary-looking injury to his left knee in Wednesday's victory over the White Sox when outfielder Michael Taylor collided with his knee […]

Jac Caglianone Getting a Day Off Against Mariners

Kansas City Royals rookie first baseman/outfielder Jac Caglianone will start Thursday's game against the hosting Seattle Mariners on the bench. John Rave draws into the starting lineup and will bat sixth for the Royals against Mariners right-hander Bryan Woo. Caglianone has elite power from the left side as one of the best power-hitting prospects in […]

Christian Yelich Out on Thursday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich will take a seat for Thursday's series finale against the New York Mets at Citi Field with left-hander David Peterson starting on the mound. Eric Haase is serving as the designated hitter and is batting seventh versus Peterson. Yelich snapped a 12-game hitting streak in the first game of Wednesday's […]

Ezequiel Tovar Beginning Rehab Assignment on Friday

Colorado Rockies shortstop Ezequiel Tovar (oblique) will join Triple-A Albuquerque for a rehab assignment on Friday. This was expected with Tovar ramping up his activities lately. He has been sidelined since early June due to a strained left oblique. He figures to need a handful of rehab games before being cleared to return to the […]

Brice Turang Resting Against a Lefty

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Brice Turang is out of the starting lineup on Wednesday against the hosting New York Mets at Citi Field with a left-hander on the mound. Andruw Monasterio is starting at second base and will bat ninth against Mets southpaw David Peterson. Turang is getting a well-deserved breather after he snapped a 14-game […]

Dylan Carlson Optioned to Minors

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Dylan Carlson has been optioned to Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday. The former first-round pick has been unable to find much success in the MLB since his 2022 season with the St. Louis Cardinals. Carlson is slashing .234/.271/.378 with four home runs and 12 RBI in 41 games with the O's this season. […]

Andrew Chafin Activated Off Injured List

Washington Nationals relief pitcher Andrew Chafin (hamstring) was activated off the injured list ahead of Thursday's game against the Detroit Tigers. Chafin has been sidelined since early June due to a right hamstring strain. He threw a simulated game earlier in the week and was able to avoid doing a rehab assignment. Chafin will be […]

James Wood Joining Home Run Derby

Washington Nationals outfielder James Wood has accepted the invite to participate in the upcoming Home Run Derby at Truist Park in Atlanta. Wood is well deserving of this honor after slashing .283/.387/.547 with 22 home runs and 65 RBI, with 12 stolen bases so far this season. The rookie outfielder will join Cal Raleigh and […]

Joc Pederson Still Three Weeks Away from Returning

Texas Rangers outfielder Joc Pederson (hand) is reportedly three weeks away from returning to the lineup, according to manager Bruce Bochy. Pederson has been sidelined since late May due to a fractured right hand. The original timetable had Pederson returning before the All-Star break, but that doesn't seem like it's going to happen. Pederson figures […]

Logan Evans Recalled, Starting on Thursday

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Logan Evans has been recalled and will take the ball versus the Kansas City Royals on Thursday. The Mariners could use some help in the rotation with Bryce Miller (elbow) still sidelined and Emerson Hancock being optioned to the minors. Evans has been decent this season, posting a 3.38 ERA, 1.33 […]

Sharks Claim Nick Leddy Off Waivers

Defenseman Nick Leddy was claimed off waivers on Thursday by the San Jose Sharks. The 34-year-old had a rough campaign with the St. Louis Blues in 2024-25 and was waived by the team earlier in the week. Leddy is entering the final year of his contract, which has an average annual value of $4 million. […]

Max Scherzer Cleared to Start on Saturday

Toronto Blue Jays manager John Schneider said that all systems are go for right-hander Max Scherzer (forearm, thumb) to start on Saturday against the Los Angeles Angels after he threw a bullpen session on Thursday afternoon at the Rogers Centre. A right-thumb issue has been bothering Scherzer all year and is the reason he's only […]
