Denny Hamlin Won Stage 2, but Struggled in the Rain at New Hampshire

Denny Hamlin had a solid run at New Hampshire despite finishing 24th and his teammates, Christopher Bell and Martin Truex, Jr., outperforming him. Hamlin utilized some characteristically nifty strategy from his crew chief, Chris Gabehart, to stay out of the pits on the second caution when most of the other leaders pitted. Since passing was […]

Kyle Busch's Playoffs in Doubt After Crashing Thrice

Kyle Busch had one of his sloppiest races ever at New Hampshire yesterday as he crashed three times.

He then spun out just before the rain arrived after a failed block of […]

Sergei Bobrovsky Sitting On One Of The Worst Slides Of The Season

Florida Panthers goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky enters Monday's Game 7 of the 2024 Stanley Cup Final against Edmonton sitting on one of his worst losing streaks of the season.

New York Mets relief pitcher Edwin Diaz has been suspended 10 games for violating the rules on foreign substances. The right-hander was tossed from Sunday's game against the Chicago Cubs before ever throwing a pitch.

Kyle Okposo Re-Enters Panthers Lineup

Florida Panthers right wing Kyle Okposo will be back in the lineup for Monday's Game 7 against Edmonton. The veteran was scratched for Game 6, giving way for Nick Cousins, but Panthers head coach Paul Maurice will swap the two men again on Monday. Okposo has had a quiet playoff run with the Panthers, failing […]

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins Good To Go For Game 7

Edmonton Oilers forward Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (illness) will be in the lineup for Game 7 of the 2024 Stanley Cup Final against Florida on Monday. The longest-tenured Oiler missed Sunday's practice because he was feeling under the weather, but the illness bug won't keep Nugent-Hopkins from competing in the biggest game in hockey. The special game […]

Should I Stash Dylan Crews In Redraft Leagues? Week 14 (2024)

When a premium prospect gets a promotion to Triple-A, the fantasy baseball community takes notice. Such was recently the case for Dylan Crews, the Washington Nationals' latest outfield prospect to turn heads. He joined James Wood at Triple-A Rochester to form the buzziest outfield duo in the minors. DYLAN CREWS' FIRST TRIPLE-A HIT IS A […]

Eloy Jimenez Remains In The Lineup

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez (hamstring) remains in the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. This is somewhat surprising considering Jimenez mentioned experiencing hamstring soreness in his return on Sunday.

Clayton Kershaw Shut Down From Throwing

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw (shoulder) won't make a start on Tuesday and will be shut down from throwing for a week.

Should I Stash Noelvi Marte In Redraft Leagues? Week 14 (2024)

Eligible to return from his 80-game suspension on June 27, Cincinnati Reds prospect Noelvi Marte is currently on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Louisville.

Patrick Sandoval To Have Season-Ending Surgery

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Patrick Sandoval (elbow) is expected to undergo season-ending surgery. The southpaw was recently placed on the injured list due to an elbow issue.

Quinn Mathews Promoted To Double-A

St. Louis Cardinals pitching prospect Quinn Mathews has been promoted to Double-A Springfield. The 23-year-old lefty has been incredible through 74 1/3 innings, this year.

Teoscar Hernandez Absent On Monday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernandez is out of the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the Chicago White Sox. There is no injury being reported, so it's assumed that this is a routine rest day for Hernandez. It is a bit odd to see Hernandez getting a day off against a left-handed starting […]

Can You Trust Kyren Williams In 2024? Fantasy Football Outlook

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams has had an interesting career so far.

Should I Drop Treylon Burks in Dynasty Fantasy Football? 2024 Dynasty Outlook

Tampa Bay Rays second baseman Brandon Lowe (toe) remains out of the starting lineup for Monday's series opener against the visiting Seattle Mariners.
