Round 3 PGA DFS Showdown Slate Picks - 2023 Travelers Championship

Denny McCarthy has been balling out folks. He is doing it with all areas of his game and a win for one of the best putters in the game is around the corner. Keegan Bradley is tied for the lead with Denny, essentially getting home field support as he is a Northeast native. Both of […]

Salvador Perez Exits Friday's Game Versus Rays

Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez (hamstring) exited Friday's matchup against Tampa with a cramp. He was having a solid outing before going down, amassing one run, two RBI, and one homer in three at-bats. The 33-year-old will likely undergo further testing, so he should be considered day-to-day for now.

Mike Yastrzemski Lands On The Injured List

San Francisco Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Friday night. The 32-year-old exited Wednesday's meeting with the San Diego Padres because of left hamstring tightness, with a subsequent MRI revealing some inflammation. Yastrzemski has been on a roll, batting .313 with four home runs, 11 RBI, and nine […]

Cedric Mullins Considered Day-To-Day

According to Baltimore Orioles manager Brandon Hyde, outfielder Cedric Mullins (groin) is considered "day-to-day." The 28-year-old has been on the shelf since late May with a groin strain. However, he's moving in the right direction, as he remains on a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Norfolk. Nonetheless, Mullins, who is hitting .263 with 26 runs, […]

Will Brennan Expects To Return By Sunday

Cleveland Guardians outfielder Will Brennan (shoulder) expects to return to the lineup by Sunday against Milwaukee, at the latest. He was removed from Wednesday's meeting with Oakland after injuring his shoulder on a diving catch, although things could have turned out a lot worse. The 25-year-old has played relatively well in 2023 and is hitting […]

Graham Ashcraft Starting On Saturday

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Graham Ashcraft (calf) will return and start Saturday's meeting versus the Braves. The 25-year-old right-hander has been out a few weeks after taking a comebacker during a game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. While fantasy managers will be glad to have an arm back in the lineup, Ashcraft has gone 3-5 […]

Daniel Hudson Could Be Activated Soon

According to Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, reliever Daniel Hudson (knee) will travel to the team's spring training complex and throw an inning on Tuesday. Assuming everything goes well, the 36-year-old could be activated for next weekend's series in Kansas City. Hudson appeared in 25 games last season and went 2-3 with five saves and nine […]

Alex Cobb To Make Rehab Start On Saturday

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Alex Cobb (abdomen) will make a rehab start with San Jose on Saturday. The 35-year-old right-hander recently landed on the injured list with a left oblique strain. But it appears his tenure on the IL may be short-lived, considering he might return for the Giants' upcoming series against the New […]

LaMonte Wade Jr. Back In Giants Lineup

San Francisco Giants first baseman/outfielder LaMonte Wade Jr. (side) is back in the starting lineup on Friday and is starting at first base and batting leadoff against right-hander Zach Davies and the Arizona Diamondbacks. Fantasy managers will get Wade back after he missed the last three games due to right-side tightness. The 29-year-old left-hander should […]

Angels Acquire Eduardo Escobar From Mets

The Los Angeles Angels acquired infielder Eduardo Escobar and cash considerations from the New York Mets on Friday in exchange for minor-league right-handers Landon Marceaux and Coleman Crow. Escobar will help the Angels get by the rest of the season after it was announced this week that Gio Urshela will miss the rest of the […]

Michael Wacha To Be Skipped Due To Shoulder Fatigue

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Michael Wacha (shoulder) is dealing with right-shoulder fatigue, according to manager Bob Melvin. The plan is for Wacha to skip one start and then return to the team's rotation. It's why the Padres are calling up rookie right-hander Matt Waldron from Triple-A El Paso to make his major-league debut in […]

J.P. Crawford Remains Out On Friday

Seattle Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford (shoulder) remains out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. This marks the third game in a row that Crawford has missed after suffering a shoulder injury during Tuesday's game. The team hasn't placed him on the injured list as he was expected to return here. […]

Harrison Bader To Miss Friday's Game

New York Yankees outfielder Harrison Bader is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Texas Rangers. The 29-year-old recently returned from the injured list, so it appears the Yankees are going to be cautious with him. Fantasy managers don't need to panic as this appears to be a routine rest day for […]

Andres Gimenez To Sit Out On Friday

Cleveland Guardians second baseman Andres Gimenez is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. This appears to be a routine rest day for the 24-year-old infielder. The Guardians will play matchups here with left-hander Wade Miley on the mound. That means, Tyler Freeman will cover second base and bat sixth […]

Bo Naylor To Miss Second Straight Game

Cleveland Guardians catcher Bo Naylor will remain out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. The 23-year-old has missed back-to-back days, but doesn't appear to be dealing with an injury. It's likely just the organization trying to play matchups, so fantasy managers shouldn't panic yet. Cam Gallagher will start behind the […]

Max Muncy Won't Be Activated Yet

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Max Muncy (hamstring) was hopeful to get back into game action on Friday. However, the team ultimately decided that Muncy wasn't ready to play yet. That means, the left-handed slugger will need at least another day or two to recover from his hamstring strain. Michael Busch will cover third base and […]

Jarren Duran Sitting Out On Friday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Chicago White Sox. This marks the second time in the last four games that Duran has sat out against a right-handed starter. It's a bit concerning that the Red Sox continue to bench Duran. He has a decent […]

Jorge Alfaro Absent On Friday

Colorado Rockies catcher Jorge Alfaro is absent from the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. The right-handed slugger has served as the designated hitter in four of the last five games. This appears to be a routine rest day for the 30-year-old catcher. Elias Diaz will be behind the plate and […]

Florio's Football Show: Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul Writer Thomas Schnauz!

Michael F. Florio is joined by 13-time Emmy-nominated writer Thomas Schnauz. The two talk fantasy football strategy and expectations for the New York Giants this season, including their new star tight end Darren Waller. They then dive deep into the world of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul with Thomas discussing the process of how […]

Matt Waldron To Start On Saturday

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Matt Waldron is being recalled to take the mound against the Washington Nationals on Saturday. The left-hander is one of the few minor leaguers that feature a knuckleball. Now, Waldron will be the only current MLB player to have one. This season, Waldron holds a 7.02 ERA, 1.65 WHIP and […]

Tim Anderson Added To The Lineup On Friday

Updating a previous report, Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson (shoulder) was originally expected to miss his fifth straight game on Friday. However, it appears Anderson is a late addition to the lineup here. The 30-year-old has been dealing with a banged up shoulder, but appears to be feeling good enough to play against the […]

Warriors, Pacers Had Discussions Surrounding Jonathan Kuminga

According to Jake Fischer of Yahoo, the Warriors and Pacers discussed a deal surrounding Jonathan Kuminga and the No. 7 pick ahead of Thursday's NBA Draft. However, nothing came of it. The 20-year-old has appeared in 137 games in his two seasons in the league, averaging 9.6 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 1.4 assists, far below […]

LaMelo Ball Remains On Schedule After Surgery

According to Hornets president of basketball operations/general manager Mitch Kupchak, guard LaMelo Ball (ankle) is right on schedule regarding his rehab after undergoing surgery in March to repair a fracture. "The bone was probably 100% six weeks ago," Kupchak said. "In terms of MRIs and X-rays, it's 100% healed." The 2020 No. 3 overall pick […]

P.J. Washington Deal Remains A Priority

According to Hornets president of basketball operations/general manager Mitch Kupchak, re-signing forward/center P.J. Washington remains a priority. In 73 games last season, the 24-year-old averaged a career-high 15.7 points along with 4.9 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and 1.1 blocks. He's expected to draw plenty of interest as a restricted free agent. However, Washington's fantasy value may […]

Tim Anderson Remains Out Friday

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson (shoulder) is still absent from the starting lineup on Friday against the visiting Boston Red Sox. Anderson last started a game on June 17 before exiting early with a right-shoulder injury. He hasn't started since then, although he made a pinch-hitting appearance on Tuesday. Fantasy managers should continue to […]

Matt Manning Goes Four Innings In Latest Rehab Start

Detroit Tigers right-hander Matt Manning (foot) went four innings on Thursday in his latest minor-league rehab start for Triple-A Toledo, and he is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Saturday. In his four innings (73 pitches), Manning allowed no runs and one hit while striking out six, but he also walked five batters. All […]

Tarik Skubal To Make Another Rehab Start

Detroit Tigers left-hander Tarik Skubal (elbow) is scheduled to make another minor-league rehab start for Triple-A Toledo next week. Skubal made his last rehab start on Wednesday for Toledo and allowed two runs on two hits while walking one and striking out four in 2 2/3 frames (52 pitches). The 26-year-old southpaw has a combined […]

Esteury Ruiz Getting A Breather Against Blue Jays

Oakland Athletics outfielder Esteury Ruiz is taking the day off on Friday as the team takes on the Toronto Blue Jays. Ruiz will get a normal day of rest to start the weekend after snapping a seven-game hitting streak on Thursday. The 24-year-old speedy Dominican has hit .257 (19-for-74) with five doubles, seven RBI, 11 […]

Ramon Laureano Goes On Injured List With Fractured Hand

The Oakland Athletics placed outfielder Ramon Laureano (hand) on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to June 22) on Friday with a fractured right hand and recalled outfielder Conner Capel from Triple-A Las Vegas in a corresponding move. Laureano will be eligible to return to the team on July 2 after initially injuring his hand last […]
