Jacob Melton Launches Two Home Runs On Friday

Houston Astros outfield prospect Jacob Melton went 2-for-5 with two home runs on Friday evening. These were his first round-trippers in 16 games.

Fantasy Football Players Coming Off Major Injuries to Gamble on in 2024

Injuries are probably the worst part of playing fantasy football. They can quickly derail your season and zap all the fun out of your team. While injuries can be tough on fantasy owners, they are even more difficult on the athletes that sustain them. The road to returning from injury is grueling and isn’t talked […]

MLB DFS: DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (6/29/24) - Today's Top Lineups

The good news is that we have a full day of baseball in front of us. The bad news is that both sites chopped up these slates quite a bit. Thankfully, both elected to have the same main slate with eight games in the middle of the day. At least both sites can agree on […]

Best Fantasy Football Value Pick At Each Position - 2024 Fantasy Football Sleepers

Every season, fantasy football managers focus heavily on the first couple of rounds of the draft. After all, those are the players who will lead your team. However, the middle-to-late rounds are where fantasy managers win championships. Just look at last year's draft, as several league winners were drafted in the later rounds.  Brock Purdy, […]

Charlie Morton Dominates Former Team Friday Night

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Charlie Morton (5-4) dominated his former team Friday night allowing no runs in 6 1/3 innings with seven strikeouts on three hits and no walks in a 6-1 game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. After a tough May where the 40-year-old right-hander produced an ugly 5.04 ERA, he reversed course in June […]

Jose Altuve Pops Leadoff Homer Friday Night

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve wasted no time Friday night by popping a leadoff solo home run on the first pitch of the game off of Jose Quintana while pitching in another hit in a 7-2 loss to the New York Mets. Altuve had never hit Quintana well in his career so the first-pitch […]

Juan Soto Homers, Drives in Three Runs Friday

New York Yankees outfielder Juan Soto provided a lot of offense Friday night going 2-for-4 with a three-run home run while pitching in another run scored in a 16-5 massacre of the Toronto Blue Jays Friday night. The Yankees were trailing 3-1 in the sixth inning when Soto turned on a 3-0 fastball right down […]

Zach Eflin Tosses Gem Friday Night

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Zach Eflin (4-5) picked up his fourth win Friday night after pitching six shutout innings with six strikeouts while allowing no walks on four hits in a 3-1 victory over the Washington Nationals.

Jose Siri Drops Two Solo Bombs Friday Night

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Jose Siri bat-dropped and admired two solo home runs and pitched in a walk Friday night in a 3-1 win over the Washington Nationals. The pair of home runs puts Siri at 11 on the season to go along with 29 RBI. In his last four games, Siri has raised his […]

Pistons Decline Team Option On Evan Fournier

The Pistons declined the team option on guard Evan Fournier. He is now heading toward unrestricted free agency. The 31-year-old began the 2023-24 campaign with the Knicks. However, he appeared in only three games for New York before being moved ahead of the trade deadline. Fournier suited up in 29 games for the Pistons, and […]

Pelicans Trade Dyson Daniels To The Hawks

The Hawks acquired guard Dyson Daniels (along with Larry Nance Jr., EJ Liddell, and two first-round picks) from the Pelicans in exchange for Dejounte Murray. While the departure of Murray means Atlanta lost an All-Star-caliber superstar, the Hawks received an up-and-coming player in Daniels, who has shown flashes of promise since entering the league in […]

George Springer Exits Early On Friday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (hand) was removed early during Friday's game against the New York Yankees. Springer was pulled from the contest after getting hit by a pitch on the wrist. He underwent imaging on his hand that came back negative. That is good news but doesn't officially mean Springer will be completely […]

Drew Smith Likely To Undergo Season-Ending Surgery

New York Mets relief pitcher Drew Smith (elbow) is expected to require Tommy John surgery. This is a tough break considering how well Smith has been pitching for the Mets this season. He recently went down with an elbow sprain but it sounds like the issue is more severe. The expectation is Smith wouldn't pitch […]

Steven Matz Transferred To 60-Day Injured List

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Steven Matz (back) has been transferred from the 15-day to the 60-day injured list on Friday. This news comes just two days away from Matz being eligible to come off the injured list. He recently had a setback with a strained back, so it looks like the southpaw is going […]

Josh Jung To Be Brought Along Slowly

Texas Rangers third baseman Josh Jung (wrist) is having a tough time getting back to full health. The young slugger wants to get back in the lineup, but he's uncertain when that'll be because his wrist isn't 100 percent yet. The Rangers are hopeful that Jung can begin swinging the bat this weekend. When healthy, […]

Larry Nance Jr. Traded To The Hawks

The Hawks acquired forward Larry Nance Jr. from the Pelicans as a part of the trade that sent Dejounte Murray to New Orleans. Nance began his career with the Los Angeles Lakers and made stops in Cleveland and Portland before landing in New Orleans. Since his most productive season with the Cavs in 2019-20, his […]

Michael Harris II Making Progress

Atlanta Braves outfielder Michael Harris II (hamstring) is reportedly making progress in his recovery from a Grade 2 hamstring strain. The 23-year-old has been taking swings with the bat and throwing but has yet to be cleared for running. Harris has been out since the middle of June and it's tough to put a timetable […]

Josh Richardson Picks Up Player Option For 2024-25

Miami Heat guard Josh Richardson picked up his $3 million player option on Friday. The veteran's production has declined over the last few years, and he finished the 2023-24 campaign by averaging 9.9 points while shooting 34.7% from behind the arc, one of the lowest percentages of his career. Even worse, he was limited to […]

A.J. Minter To Throw On Sunday

Atlanta Braves relief pitcher A.J. Minter (hip) is scheduled to throw on the mound for Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday. The left-hander is working his way back from left hip inflammation. If everything goes well, Minter should be able to rejoin the Braves bullpen after Sunday's outing. This doesn't mean much in terms of fantasy baseball. […]

Randy Vasquez Removed Early On Friday

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Randy Vasquez (forearm) was forced to exit early during Friday's start against the Boston Red Sox. Vasquez was pitching well before getting hit in the forearm by a line drive. It seemed like Vasquez was fine, but the Padres pulled him from the contest as a precaution. The expectation is […]

Dejounte Murray Traded To New Orleans

According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, the Hawks traded guard Dejounte Murray to the Pelicans in exchange for Larry Nance Jr., EJ Liddell, Dyson Daniels, and two first-round picks. The backcourt pairing of Murray and Trae Young didn't work, so the 27-year-old will head to New Orleans, a team hoping to re-enter the championship conversation. Murray […]

Brandon Aiyuk, 49ers "Pretty Far Apart" On A New Deal

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk appeared on The Pivot on Friday. Of course, the topic of his contract with the team was addressed. NFL Media's Tom Pelissero reported a few days ago that both sides recently had a "good meeting." However, that may not be the case. "Throughout this process, there have been […]

Mick Abel Struggling With Command At Triple-A

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitching prospect Mick Abel has continued to struggle at Triple-A in June. In 13 innings of work, Abel has walked 10 batters and held a 9.69 ERA and 2.08 WHIP. Overall this season, the former 15th overall pick has posted a poor 7.08 ERA, 1.87 WHIP, and a 40:49 BB:K ratio in […]

Jefferson Rojas Continues Strong Play In June

Chicago Cubs shortstop prospect Jefferson Rojas has continued to perform well at High-A South Bend through June and could be nearing a potential promotion to Double-A. This month, he holds a .247/.313/.342 slash line with one long ball, eight stolen bases, and a 5:12 BB:K ratio. Last month, Rojas posted a slightly lower .221/.271/.23 line […]
