Joe Musgrove To Play Catch On Monday

San Diego Padres right-hander Joe Musgrove (elbow) was scheduled to play catch on Monday for the first time since he was shut down with right-elbow inflammation and subsequently diagnosed with a bone spur.

Yu Darvish Dealing With Elbow Inflammation, Won't Start Tuesday

San Diego Padres right-hander Yu Darvish (elbow, groin) has "a little" elbow inflammation and will not come off the injured list to make the start on Tuesday against the visiting Washington Nationals, according to manager Mike Shildt.

When Will Jasson Dominguez Return and Be Back? Fantasy Baseball Injury Update

Just when Jasson Dominguez was looking impossible to get out in the minor leagues during his rehab assignments, another unfortunate injury struck. Dominguez was hitting everything he saw at Double-A and Triple-A and was being mentioned as a potential call-up to the Yankees in the coming weeks. However, he strained his oblique last week, and […]

Anthony Rendon Runs The Bases Monday

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon (hamstring) ran the bases on Monday for the first time as part of his rehab. There remains no timetable for Rendon to return from a serious left-hamstring injury, so fantasy managers in deeper formats shouldn't expect to see him back in the big leagues until sometime in the […]

Evan Rodrigues Looks To Join Exclusive Group With Another Goal

Florida Panthers forward Evan Rodrigues leads all players with four goals in the 2024 Stanley Cup Final, and another prolific outing in Monday's Game 7 would put him on a very exclusive list. Only five undrafted players have scored five-plus goals in the Final during the draft era (since 1963-64). Andy McDonald did it last […]

Zach Neto Returns To Angels Lineup

Los Angeles Angels shortstop Zach Neto (calf) is back in the starting lineup on Monday for the series opener against the visiting Oakland Athletics and right-hander Luis Medina, playing shortstop and batting sixth in the order.

When Will Gavin Williams Return and Be Back? Fantasy Baseball Injury Update

The Cleveland Guardians have put together one heck of a first half to the 2024 season as they trail only the Yankees in the American League in the win column. Cleveland has been able to accomplish this feat despite losing their ace, Shane Bieber, way back in April. They also haven't had Gavin Williams all […]

Warriors Guarantee Kevon Looney's 2024-25 Salary

The Golden State Warriors guaranteed the 2024-25 salary of forward/center Kevon Looney. There was chatter he could be cut. However, replacing him with someone else wouldn't have made much sense from a financial standpoint. The 28-year-old has been in Golden State since entering the league in 2015. But his production dropped significantly last season after […]

Warren Foegele Enters Game 7 On Career-Best Scoring Streak

Michael Massey Reinstated, Nelson Velazquez Optioned

The Kansas City Royals reinstated infielder Michael Massey (back) from the 10-day injured list on Monday and optioned outfielder Nelson Velazquez to Triple-A Omaha in a corresponding move. Massey is in the starting lineup on Monday against the visiting Miami Marlins and right-hander Roddery Munoz, serving as the designated hitter and batting fifth. The 26-year-old […]

Stuart Skinner Aims For Another Win On Monday

Edmonton Oilers goaltender Stuart Skinner will look to keep his impressive form going in Monday's Game 7 of the 2024 Stanley Cup Final against the Panthers. Following an inconsistent start to the postseason, Skinner has enjoyed a very strong three-game stretch in the Final, allowing only five goals on 86 shots for a .942 save […]

Paul Goldschmidt Getting An Off Day Monday

St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt is getting a rare day off on Monday with the team facing the visiting Atlanta Braves.

Bubba Wallace Falls Below Playoff Cut Line After Noah Gragson Wrecked Him

Bubba Wallace had a mediocre albeit decent run at New Hampshire yesterday. Although he never factored for the lead unlike his teammate, Tyler Reddick, he ran in the top 10 for much of Stage 2, but usually ran between 11th and 20th until he was eliminated in a crash when Noah Gragson spun out while […]

Joey Logano Crashed, but Still Moves Above Playoffs Cut Line

Although Joey Logano never led during yesterday's New Hampshire race, he ran in the top five consistently except for pit stop exchanges until he spun out Chase Elliott to trigger the fifth caution of the race while they were battling for 11th behind a number of drivers who had either stayed out of the pits […]

Timberwolves Give Chris Finch A Four-Year Extension

Minnesota Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch agreed to a four-year contract extension with the club on Monday, keeping him at the helm through the 2027-28 campaign.

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. After shockingly being lapped in Stage 1, Busch broke loose into Noah Gragson, spinning both drivers out to initiate the race's third caution. He then spun out just before the rain arrived after a failed block of […]

OG Anunoby Declines Player Option

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby declined his $19.9 million player option on Monday, putting him in line to hit unrestricted free agency on June 30.

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.

Edwin Diaz Officially Suspended 10 Games

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. Diaz said afterwards that it was rosin on his hand, but it doesn't sound like he's going to appeal the […]

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 […]

Fernando Tatis Jr. Heads To The Injured List

San Diego Padres outfielder Fernando Tatis Jr. (quadriceps) has been placed on the 10-day injured list ahead of Monday's 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. Despite that, the oft-injured outfielder will remain in the starting lineup for Monday's game. He'll serve as the designated […]

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. The veteran left-hander has reportedly been feeling soreness in his shoulder since throwing a bullpen session last week. The MRI showed no new damage on his shoulder, so it just sounds […]

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.
