James Harden Expected To Sign With Rockets Or Sixers

According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, guard James Harden is expected to either re-sign with Philadelphia or return to Houston. While the update provides some clarity on Harden's future, nobody will know for sure until at least July. The 33-year-old finished the 2022-23 campaign by averaging 21.0 points, 10.7 assists, and 1.2 steals. He […]

Anthony Rendon Activated From Injured List

The Los Angeles Angels activated third baseman Anthony Rendon (groin) from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday and optioned infielder Livan Soto to Double-A Rocket City in a corresponding move. Rendon has been out since May 15 due to a left-groin strain, but he's now back with the Halos and should be back at third […]

Joc Pederson, Thairo Estrada Back From IL And Starting

The San Francisco Giants activated outfielder Joc Pederson (hand) and infielder Thairo Estrada (wrist) from the injured list on Tuesday, and both players are starting against right-hander Dinelson Lamet and the Colorado Rockies. Pederson is serving as the designated hitter and batting third, while Estrada is at the keystone and hitting in the two-hole. In […]

Darren Waller Expected To Lead Giants In Targets

The Athletic's Dan Duggan writes that it would be shocking if New York Giants tight end Darren Waller doesn't lead the team in targets in his first year in the Big Apple in 2023. Waller is the team's most accomplished receiving option, and both head coach Brian Daboll and offensive coordinator Mike Kafka have experience […]

Darius Slayton Assured Of A Roster Spot

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton's two-year, $12 million deal should assure that he's a roster lock heading into the 2023 season, but he could be on the chopping block next offseason if he regresses this year. Slayton saw a significant role in his fourth NFL season in 2022 given all the injuries at […]

Gavin Williams - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Gavin Williams, SP, Cleveland Guardians ANALYSIS: Unfortunately, I'm not sure we see him this month unless there's another injury in Cleveland's rotation. Even Cal Quantrill and Peyton Battenfield on the IL, Cleveland still has a full rotation with Aaron Civale and Triston McKenzie recently returning from the IL, and all five arms are pitching well right now. However, there are some rumblings […]

Joshua Ezeudu Expected To Win Left-Guard Job

The Athletic's Dan Duggan is guessing that New York Giants offensive lineman Joshua Ezeudu will win the starting left-guard job this summer in training camp. Ben Bredeson has been the first-team left guard so far in offseason workouts this spring, but there is still plenty of time for Ezeudu to make up ground before the […]

Andres Munoz Activated On Tuesday

Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Andres Munoz (shoulder) has been activated from the 15-day injured list on Tuesday. The 24-year-old has been sidelined since early April due to a right shoulder strain. He only pitched in three contests before going down, but is healthy now and available for Tuesday's game against the San Diego Padres. Munoz […]

Daniel Jones' Designed Runs May Not Decrease

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones had 120 carries last year, which ranked fourth-most among QBs. Around half of those carries were designed runs, as he ranked third in the NFL with 56 scrambles. The zone read is likely to remain a big piece of the offense in 2023, so Jones' designed runs aren't necessarily […]

Owen Miller Not In Tuesday's Lineup

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Owen Miller is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. This appears to be a routine rest day for Miller, which will likely be happening more frequently now. The Brewers have Luis Urias back in the fold and Willy Adames returning soon. That means, Miller is likely […]

Byron Buxton Placed On Injured List

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton (ribs) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. This doesn't come as a huge shock after Buxton missed the last three games due to a left rib contusion. The organization tried to avoid using the injured list, but ultimately Buxton needs time to rest and recover. In […]

Michael Thomas Says He'll Be Ready For Start Of Training Camp

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (toe) said he will be ready for training camp "Day 1, full speed." Thomas, who is taking part in organized team activities this week, also said he'll be back to form "just like everyone's used to." It's hard for fantasy managers to take Thomas at his word after […]

Broncos Not Expected To Go After Dalvin Cook

Despite cutting three running backs on the roster in the last week, the Denver Broncos aren't expected to make a run at Minnesota Vikings RB Dalvin Cook, according to sources. There's no way the Broncos trade for Cook, at least not without a restructured contract. Cook is scheduled to make $11 million in 2023 with […]

Lourdes Gurriel Jr. To Miss Another Game

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. (groin) is being held out of the starting lineup for the second straight game on Tuesday. The 29-year-old will miss Tuesday's contest versus the Washington Nationals due to tightness in his groin. He's expected to be available off the bench, which means this is probably a minor injury. Fantasy […]

Gunnar Henderson Remains Out Once Again

Baltimore Orioles third baseman Gunnar Henderson (back) remains out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. The rookie infielder was removed from Saturday's contest due to lower back discomfort. He sat out on Sunday and it appears he's still dealing with the issue. Henderson did mention he is feeling better and […]

Josh Jacobs Not At Mandatory Minicamp

Las Vegas Raiders head coach Josh McDaniels said that running back Josh Jacobs isn't under contract since he hasn't signed his franchise tag and therefore isn't attending mandatory minicamp this week. The Raiders don't seem too concerned about the situation, and the 25-year-old will be back with the team once training camp begins at the […]

Matt Chapman Not Starting On Tuesday

Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Matt Chapman (toe) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Houston Astros. He is being held out after having an infected ingrown toenail removed. Manager John Schneider said this should be a one-game absence, so fantasy managers should expect Chapman back on Wednesday. In the meantime, […]

Francisco Alvarez Absent On Tuesday

New York Mets catcher Francisco Alvarez is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Braves. The rookie backup appears to be getting a routine rest day here. He's slashing .237/.291/.492 with eight home runs and 19 RBI in 34 games this season. Omar Narvaez will cover behind the plate and bat […]

Is Jahmyr Gibbs The Lions RB1? Fantasy Football Outlook

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs was a surprise first-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. However, the team loves Gibbs’ upside. Detroit traded Swift to the Philadelphia Eagles on Day 3 of the NFL Draft for a pair of draft picks. The rookie will now split the backfield work with David Montgomery. Meanwhile, some […]

Red Sox Call Up Chris Murphy

The Boston Red Sox recalled left-handed pitching prospect Chris Murphy from Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday and optioned pitcher Kaleb Ort to the minors in a corresponding move. Murphy, who is listed by MLB Pipeline as the team's No. 14 prospect, will initially work out of Boston's bullpen, which won't make him attractive to fantasy managers […]

Bo Naylor - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Bo Naylor, C, Cleveland Guardians ANALYSIS: While they're still second in the weak American League Central, the Cleveland Guardians are five games under .500 and don't appear to be contenders after winning the division in 2022. With that in mind, they really have no reason not to bring Bo Naylor up in the near […]

Jacob deGrom To Have Tommy John Surgery

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Jacob deGrom (elbow) will have Tommy John surgery to fix a tear in his right UCL. The Rangers shifted deGrom to the 60-day injured list on Monday, and now we know why. The oft-injured 34-year-old right-hander will now miss the rest of the 2023 season and most likely most, if not […]

AJ Smith-Shawver To Make First MLB Start This Weekend

Atlanta Braves general manager Alex Anthopoulos confirmed on Tuesday that rookie right-hander AJ Smith-Shawver will start on either Friday or Saturday against the Washington Nationals. The 20-year-old prospect, ranked the team's No. 4 prospect by MLB Pipeline, made his big-league debut with 2 1/3 innings of shutout and hitless baseball in relief against the Arizona […]

Will The Dolphins Trade Or Release Cedrick Wilson Jr.? Fantasy Football Outlook

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Cedrick Wilson Jr. was a sixth-round pick by the Dallas Cowboys in the 2018 NFL Draft. Wilson had a productive college career, totaling 139 receptions for 2,640 receiving yards and 18 touchdowns during his two years at Boise State. Unfortunately, his NFL career got off to a slow start. The young […]

Randy Vasquez Likely to Start Wednesday

New York Yankees rookie right-hander Randy Vasquez is in the team's clubhouse on Tuesday and has a good chance to start on Wednesday against the Chicago White Sox in place of injured left-hander Nestor Cortes (shoulder), who is expected to land on the injured list. In his major-league debut against the San Diego Padres on […]

Jake Fraley Returns Against Dodgers

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Jake Fraley (illness) has returned to the starting lineup on Tuesday, starting in right field and hitting leadoff against the Los Angeles Dodgers and right-hander Tony Gonsolin. Fraley missed Monday's game due to allergies, but he'll be back in there a day later in the top spot in the lineup. With infield […]
