Mike Trout Dealing With Torn Meniscus

Updating a previous report, Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (knee) has a torn meniscus in his left knee that will require surgery, according to general manager Perry Minasian. The procedure, which is believed to be scheduled for Friday, isn't considered season-ending. It's a silver lining for the 11-time All-Star, who has missed significant time […]

During this stretch, the 21-year-old has tallied three extra-base hits with a .467/.529/.600 stat line with two stolen bases.

Oneil Cruz Resting On Tuesday

Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop Oneil Cruz (rest) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Oakland Athletics. This appears to be a routine rest day for the left-handed slugger. Cruz is slashing .094/.121/.094 against left-handed pitchers this season, so it makes sense that they'd give him the night off against southpaw Alex […]

Jalen Brunson Upgraded To Available

New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson (knee) has been upgraded from probable to available for Tuesday's Game 5 against Philadelphia. He's ready to finish off the 76ers after being on the injury report with a right knee contusion. The Knicks star has posted 86 points and 23 assists across the last two games in […]

Tyler Stephenson To Sit Out On Tuesday

Cincinnati Reds catcher Tyler Stephenson (wrist) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the San Diego Padres. Stephenson will miss his third straight game due to a lingering wrist issue. The assumption is that Stephenson is day-to-day and should return later this week. It'll be Luke Maile handling the catching duties […]

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee, migraine) has officially been cleared for action ahead of Tuesday's Game 5 against the Knicks.

However, he's set to play as Philadelphia tries to fight off elimination […]

Christian Encarnacion-Strand To Miss Third Straight Game

Cincinnati Reds first baseman Christian Encarnacion-Strand (wrist) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the San Diego Padres. The 24-year-old underwent an MRI which didn't reveal any significant damage. The hope is that Encarnacion-Strand can return at some point during the week. In the meantime, Jeimer Candelario will cover first base […]

Kristaps Porzingis Likely To Miss Several Games

According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (calf) is expected to miss several games due to a right soleus strain.

Sadly for Flaherty, the Tigers bullpen coughed up the lead in […]

Craig Kimbrel Uncertain For Tuesday's Game

Baltimore Orioles relief pitcher Craig Kimbrel (back) is uncertain for Tuesday's game against the New York Yankees. The veteran reliever left Sunday's game due to back tightness. He is currently considered as day-to-day. Orioles' manager Brandon Hyde said he was unsure if Kimbrel would be available for Tuesday's game. The right-hander will likely throw pregame […]

Mike Trout To Undergo Knee Surgery

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (knee) is expected to undergo surgery on his knee in the near future.

2024 Fantasy Football Rookie Drafts - Should I Draft J.J. McCarthy or Bo Nix?

The quarterbacks came flying off the board in the 2024 NFL Draft, and that should be no different in Superflex dynasty formats. One decision most fantasy managers might have to make on draft day is whether to take former Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy or former Oregon quarterback Bo Nix. McCarthy was drafted 10th overall by the Minnesota Vikings after they traded up […]

Houston Astros outfielder Joey Loperfido is starting in left field and is batting seventh in his major-league debut on Tuesday against the visiting Cleveland Guardians and right-hander Carlos Carrasco.

Miami Heat guard/forward Jaime Jaquez Jr. (hip) will be unavailable for Game 5 on Wednesday versus the Boston Celtics due to a hip flexor strain.

Boston Red Sox middle infielder Vaughn Grissom (hamstring, illness) isn't coming off the 10-day injured list on Tuesday because he has the flu.

Alex Noren Looks To Take Another Step At TPC Craig Ranch

Alex Noren has been fantastic in his three Byron Nelson appearances, improving from 35th to 21st to 12th in his most recent showing in 2022. The putting has been most noticeable, as the Swede has gained at least 2.5 strokes on the green in each of his starts in this event. Noren has really started […]

Nick Pivetta Set For Rehab Start On Thursday

Boston Red Sox right-hander Nick Pivetta (elbow) is expected to make a minor-league rehab start on Thursday, and barring any setbacks in that outing, the expectation is that he'll be ready to return to the Red Sox's starting rotation afterwards.

Mackenzie Hughes Brings Hot Putter To TPC Craig Ranch

Mackenzie Hughes has gained a remarkable 14.2 strokes with his putter over his last three events combined.

The Canadian finally made the cut in his third try […]
