Wander Franco Continues To Scuffle At The Plate

Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Wander Franco went 0-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts in a 3-0 win over the Baltimore Orioles on Friday. The offense was at a premium in this one as Zach Eflin and Kyle Bradish were locked in a pitcher's duel. Franco, who is in the midst of a 2-for-17 slump, wasn't […]

Trea Turner Triples In Friday's Loss

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Trea Turner went 1-for-5 with a triple, a run scored, and two strikeouts in a 6-5 loss to the Cleveland Guardians on Friday.

Henry Davis Launches Two Home Runs Friday

Pittsburgh Pirates catcher Henry Davis went 3-for-4 with two homers despite losing to the Angels 8-5 Friday. In the second inning, Davis kick-started the action with a single. During the fourth frame, he teamed up with Ji Man Choi to deliver back-to-back solo home runs, with Davis connecting off Shohei Ohtani. Not content with just […]

Jose Ramirez Collects Four Singles Friday

Cleveland Guardians third baseman Jose Ramirez was excellent at the plate Friday, recording four base hits in five at-bats. Ramirez also swiped two bags as the Guardians beat the Phillies 6-5. It marked the 30-year-olds first four-hit game of the season. However, this month, he had been experiencing a bit of a slump, particularly in […]

Marquise Goodwin Placed On Non-Football Illness List

The Browns placed wide receiver Marquise Goodwin (illness) on the non-football illness list on Friday. The 32-year-old looked good in minicamp. However, he has been bothered by discomfort in his legs and shortness of breath. Unfortunately, Goodwin was diagnosed with blood clots, meaning he could miss a significant amount of time. The 2013 third-round pick […]

Is James Robinson A Good Fit For The Giants? Fantasy Football Outlook

New York Giants running back James Robinson was an undrafted free agent in 2020. The former Illinois State star signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars and became a fantasy star.

Byron Buxton Cracks Two Home Runs In Twins Victory

Minnesota Twins designated hitter Byron Buxton smacked two home runs and collected four RBI beating the Chicago White Sox 9-4 Friday.

Chris Claybrooks Arrested On Friday

Jacksonville Jaguars defensive back Chris Claybrooks was arrested on Friday and charged with domestic battery, a misdemeanor, and false imprisonment, a felony. The incident occurred nearly a year ago, with the victim reportedly alleging that Claybrooks grabbed and prevented her from leaving a residence. He was also arrested in Nashville back in April and charged […]

Alexis Diaz Earns 28th Save Friday

Cincinnati Reds closer Alexis Diaz didn't fan a batter but was flawless in the ninth frame Friday against the Arizona Diamondbacks, earning his 28th save of the season. Since taking his first blown save of the year on June 30, the right-handed hurler is 6-for-6 saving games in July. In 2023 he's allowed just 23 […]

Brett Maher Signs With Denver

Free-agent kicker Brett Maher agreed to a deal with the Broncos. The 33-year-old made 29 of his 32 attempts with the Cowboys last season. However, he connected on only one of his six extra-point tries during the playoffs, forcing Dallas to go in a different direction. At any rate, Maher was a top-10 fantasy kicker […]

Willy Adames Blasts A Two-Run Homer In Brewers Loss

Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Willy Adames went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer on Friday in a 6-4 loss against the Braves. During the sixth inning, with the Brewers trailing by four runs, Adames narrowed the gap to just two runs by launching a two-run shot off Michael Soroka. Adames now has 17 home runs in this […]

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young agreed to a four-year, $37.9 million (fully guaranteed) contract on Friday. The 2023 No. 1 overall pick is locked-in for at least the next four seasons, and with the Panthers not having the best of luck in the quarterback department since Cam Newton, he will look to turn the franchise […]

Round 3 PGA DFS Showdown Slate Picks - the Open Championship 2023

Brian Harman has seemingly signaled the aliens to come take over the earth, as that space-ship putter of his is on auto-pilot and sinking putts to the tune of +8.5 strokes putting. Tommy Fleetwood is also playing some fantastic golf, but he is -5, five shots back of Harman. Only six shots separate T4 and […]

Kyle Wright Not Expected Back Until September

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Kyle Wright (shoulder) is scheduled to throw "shortened bullpens" early next week, according to Mark Bowman of MLB.com. If everything goes well, he'll progress to "normal bullpens." The 27-year-old has been on the injured list since May because of a shoulder strain. However, Wright isn't expected to return until September, meaning […]

Closers and Saves Waiver Wire Report for Fantasy Baseball - Week 17

Folks, we are now firmly in the second half with the trade deadline rapidly approaching. Where has this season gone? Have the new pace of play rules crept into our everyday lives and made time pass us by? Has Rob Manfred found a really, really slow way to time travel into the future that only […]

Garrett Crochet Bothered Again By Shoulder Issue

Chicago White Sox relief pitcher Garrett Crochet (shoulder) was pulled from his rehab assignment. The left-hander is bothered by inflammation in his shoulder, the same issue that put him on the shelf back in June. However, with the latest setback, it's unknown when Crochet will return, although it likely won't be anytime soon.

Clayton Kershaw To Throw Simulated Game Monday

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw (shoulder) had another bullpen session on Friday, his second in the last three days. It was "a really good, competitive 'pen," said manager Dave Roberts, adding that the multi-time Cy Young winner threw "upwards of 40 pitches." Kershaw, who's sat on the injured list since July 3, will […]

Brent Rooker Out On Friday Night

Oakland Athletics outfielder Brent Rooker (illness) isn't in the lineup on Friday night versus Houston. With the A's and Astros engaged in a three-game set, it's unknown if Rooker will be available for the rest of the weekend. But in the meantime, Seth Brown will head to the outfield while Jordan Diaz will cover first. […]

Noah Syndergaard To Make Rehab Start On Friday

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Noah Syndergaard (blister) is scheduled to make another rehab start at Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday. The right-hander has been sidelined since early June due to a blister on his index finger. He was able to throw 52 pitches during his last rehab start. The assumption is that he'll get […]

Celtics, Jaylen Brown Contract Talks Resuming Next Week

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown is reportedly getting a big contract extension soon, but those talks were put on pause when he went on the NBPA retreat. Now that he's back, according to Gary Washburn of the Boston Globe, the contract talks will resume next week. The superstar wing was due for a big payday […]

Michael Fulmer Named Opener For Saturday

Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Michael Fulmer will serve as the opener for Saturday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. The right-hander threw 15 pitches during their victory over the Cards on Friday. That being said, Fulmer will likely only be able to pitch the first inning of Saturday's game. The 30-year-old right-hander holds a 4.43 […]

Johnny Cueto To Start On Saturday

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Johnny Cueto will make his return to the starting rotation for Saturday's game against the Colorado Rockies. The 37-year-old only made one start before going down in April due to a biceps issue. He recently returned from the injured list, but the Marlins put him in the bullpen. He fired three […]

Hawks Parting Ways With Tyrese Martin

The Atlanta Hawks and guard Tyrese Martin are parting ways according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The 24-year-old played in 16 games last season for the Hawks with averages of 1.3 points and just shy of one rebound per game. He mustered up a shooting clip of 39.1% and 14.3% from deep. A rebuilding team might […]

Evan Longoria Sitting Out On Friday

Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Evan Longoria is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. It appears the veteran slugger will get a routine rest day here. He could use it considering he's 2-for-19 since the beginning of July. In his absence, Emmanuel Rivera will cover third base and bat seventh […]

Brandon Drury Goes Through Full Workout

Los Angeles Angels infielder Brandon Drury (shoulder) was able to get through a full workout on Friday. That is good news after Drury went down in the beginning of July due to left shoulder inflammation. The Angels haven't given a timetable for his return, so fantasy managers should stay tuned for an update. The expectation […]

LaMonte Wade Jr. Returning On Friday

San Francisco Giants first baseman LaMonte Wade Jr. (hamstring) is returning to the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Washington Nationals. He was pulled out of Tuesday's game due to hamstring cramps. He sat out the next two games as a precaution, but appears to be fine now. The 29-year-old will bat leadoff and […]

Willi Castro Scratched On Friday

Minnesota Twins infielder Willi Castro (eye) has been scratched ahead of Friday's game against the Chicago White Sox. The 26-year-old was pulled out of the lineup due to conjunctivitis. Luckily, it seems like a minor issue, so it should only hold him out for a few days. In the meantime, Donovan Solano will cover third […]
