Antti Raanta Looks To Bounce Back Monday

Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Antti Raanta will make his 13th playoff start of the year in Monday's Game 7 against the Rangers. The 33-year-old is looking to bounce back after lasting less than 24 minutes in Saturday's Game 6 and giving up three goals on 13 shots. Raanta had a miserable outing at the weekend, but […]

Kyle Tucker Avoids Serious Injury

Houston Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker (foot) will be held out of Monday's game against the Oakland Athletics. He hasn't played in a game since suffering a left foot injury during Saturday's game. Luckily, manager Dusty Baker mentioned that the MRI has revealed no structural damage. That means, Tucker should be considered day-to-day, so he could […]

Brian Anderson To Miss Third Straight Game

Miami Marlins third baseman Brian Anderson (back) remains out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Colorado Rockies. This marks his third game in a row that Anderson has missed due to back spasms. It's unclear how long Anderson is going to be sidelined, but hopefully he'll avoid a trip to the injured […]

Avisail Garcia Returns On Monday

Miami Marlins outfielder Avisail Garcia will return to the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Colorado Rockies. He was activated from the COVID-19 list on Sunday, but didn't make an appearance in that contest. He'll bat sixth and play right field versus right-hander Ryan Feltner on Monday. Fantasy managers should double check in their […]

Cedric Mullins Out On Monday

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Cedric Mullins (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Boston Red Sox. This appears to be a routine day off for Mullins after starting 10 straight games. Ryan McKenna will cover center field and bat eighth versus lefty Rich Hill on Monday. Fantasy managers should expect Mullins […]

Mickey Moniak Activated From Injured List

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Mickey Moniak (hand) has been activated from the 10-day injured list. He missed the first two months of the season due to a fractured right hand. The 24-year-old should provide solid depth to the Phillies outfield. He'll bat seventh and play left field versus righty Logan Webb on Monday. Fantasy managers should […]

Jeff Gladney Dies In Car Accident

Arizona Cardinals cornerback Jeff Gladney, a former first-round pick of the Minnesota Vikings in 2020, was one of two people to die in a car accident in Dallas on Monday, according to his agent Brian Overstreet. "We are asking prayers for the family and privacy at this most difficult time," Overstreet said. Gladney started 15 […]

Anthony DeSclafani To Throw On Monday

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Anthony DeSclafani (ankle) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Monday. He has been sidelined since late April due to right ankle inflammation. The 32-year-old only made three starts for the Giants before landing on the injured list. The organization is hopeful to get DeSclafani back in late June […]

Brandon Belt Resumes Hitting

San Francisco Giants first baseman Brandon Belt (knee) has resumed hitting on Monday. He is recovering from right knee inflammation, but is eligible to return whenever he feels confident. It doesn't sound like Belt is going to miss much more time. Fantasy managers should expect Belt back in the lineup around early June. Until then, […]

The Adley Rutschman Effect in Baltimore

The day has finally come, Adley Rutschman is here! The first overall pick in the 2019 draft is one of the most exciting prospects we’ve seen in a time of a lot of exciting prospects. His arrival brings a lot of intrigue to fantasy managers as to what kind of impact he will have on […]

Kyle Tucker Still Out Monday

Houston Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker (foot) remains out of the starting lineup on Monday against the Oakland Athletics. Tucker was removed from the game early on Saturday against the Seattle Mariners with left foot pain and hasn't played since. The Astros don't think he'll need to go on the injured list, so fantasy managers could […]

Projecting the 2022 QB Class in Dynasty

Truly, no position in any sport trumps the value of the quarterback position in football. After all, there is a reason that the Most Valuable Player (MVP) award is reserved for quarterbacks; a team, historically, can only go as far as the play of their quarterback allows. Thus, in every NFL Draft, the focus centers around […]

Best Wide Receiver Stacks for 2022

Sometimes we're afraid of putting together players from the same team on our rosters, let alone weekly lineups. To a certain extent, that makes sense: the opportunities one gets will take away from the opportunities the other could have gotten. Why limit the fantasy upside of our team with two receivers playing in the same offense […]

Riley Greene Moves Rehab To Triple-A

Detroit Tigers outfield prospect Riley Greene (foot) is moving his minor league rehab assignment from Single-A Lakeland to Triple-A Toledo on Monday. In two games with Lakeland, the Tigers top prospect went 2-for-6 with two RBI and a stolen base. Greene fractured his right foot at the tail end of spring training and likely would've […]

Brandon Woodruff Goes On Injured List

The Milwaukee Brewers placed starting pitcher Brandon Woodruff (ankle) on the 15-day injured list on Monday with a high right ankle sprain. Woodruff suffered the injury in his last start on Friday against the St. Louis Cardinals, and he'll end up missing at least the next two turns through Milwaukee's starting rotation. The 29-year-old right-hander […]

Royce Lewis Lands On Injured List

The Minnesota Twins placed shortstop prospect Royce Lewis (knee) on the 10-day injured list on Monday with a right knee bone bruise that he suffered while playing in center field against the Kansas City Royals on Sunday. Infield prospect Jose Miranda, who had been sent down on Sunday, has been recalled from Triple-A St. Paul. […]

Byron Buxton Getting The Day Off Monday

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton is not in the starting lineup on Monday against the Detroit Tigers. Buxton started the last two games, but the Twins will continue to give him regular days off in order to keep the oft-injured outfielder healthy. The 28-year-old is hitting just .205 (26-for-127) with a .287 on-base percentage, but […]

Travis Jonsen Arrested On DUI Charge

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Travis Jonsen, who is competing for a backup spot on the 53-man roster, was arrested early Monday morning on a misdemeanor charge of driving under the influence. The 25-year-old has spent the last two years on the team's practice squad, but this certainly won't help his chances with the organization. […]

Austin Meadows Could Start Rehab Assignment Wednesday

Detroit Tigers outfielder Austin Meadows (illness) has resumed baseball activities in Florida and could start a minor league rehab assignment as early as Wednesday, according to manager A.J. Hinch. Meadows has been out since May 16 due to vertigo, but it looks like he's getting closer to a return to Detroit. The 27-year-old was relevant […]

Fernando Tatis Jr. To Have Another Scan Next Week

San Diego Padres shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. (wrist) will have his wrist scanned again when the Padres return from their road trip next week. There is optimism that Tatis will be able to resume swinging after that. The 23-year-old superstar is with the Padres on their current road trip and will run and take ground […]

Manny Machado Returns Against Cardinals

San Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado (elbow) is back at third base and is hitting second on Monday against St. Louis Cardinals left-hander Packy Naughton. Machado had missed the team's last two games with tennis elbow, but he's back in the lineup to begin the new week. Fantasy managers need to get the 29-year-old […]

Seiya Suzuki Sitting In Game 1

Chicago Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki (finger) is out of the starting lineup for Game 1 of a doubleheader on Monday against the Milwaukee Brewers. Suzuki is missing his third straight game after he jammed his finger while sliding into second base last Thursday. It remains to be seen if the 27-year-old will return for Game […]

Pirates Acquire Yu Chang From Guardians

The Pittsburgh Pirates acquired infielder Yu Chang from the Cleveland Guardians on Sunday in exchange for cash, according to sources. The Guardians designated Chang for assignment last Thursday. Chang doesn't have any minor league options remaining, so there's a decent chance he'll stick on Pittsburgh's MLB roster. The 26-year-old can play all over the infield […]

Jaylen Brown Looks Excellent In Victory

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown helped set the tone early during Sunday's Game 7 against the Miami Heat. He finished 8-for-15 from the floor with 26 points, six rebounds, and six assists in the victory. Brown was nearly perfect at the free throw line and was a big factor as to why the Celtics are […]

Jonathan Villar Placed On Injured List

The Chicago Cubs placed infielder Jonathan Villar (mouth) on the 10-day injured list on Monday and recalled Nelson Velazquez from the minors in a corresponding move. Villar needs significant dental work. The Cubs also selected the contract of Matt Swarmer and moved Ethan Roberts to the 60-day injured list. The move to put Villar on […]

Jayson Tatum Plays Well In Game 7

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum came ready to play during Sunday's Game 7 against the Miami Heat. He was part of that 2018 roster that blew a 3-2 lead to the Cleveland Cavaliers. However, Tatum wasn't going to let that happen again as he helped guide his team to victory. He finished with 26 points, […]

Lance Lynn Looks Good In Rehab Appearance

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Lance Lynn (knee) looked good in his first minor league rehab start on Sunday for Triple-A Charlotte. The 35-year-old right-hander gave up two hits in three scoreless innings while walking none and striking out three. Lynn threw 39 pitches and is expected to make two more rehab outings for Triple-A […]

Tyler Herro Plays Only Seven Minutes In Game 7

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (groin) was unable to bring much to the table during Sunday's Game 7 against the Boston Celtics. He tried to power through the groin injury, but only lasted seven minutes. Herro missed both his attempts and his absence clearly hurt his team in this one. The Heat took a four-point […]

Stephen Strasburg Looks Great In Second Rehab Outing

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Stephen Strasburg (neck, shoulder) looked like his old self in his second minor league rehab outing for Low-Fredericksburg on Sunday, throwing five scoreless innings while giving up one hit, walking only one and striking out six. Strasburg induced weak contact all day. It's a solid showing for the 33-year-old as he […]

Bam Adebayo Posts Double-Double

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo turned it around after a rough outing in Game 6. Adebayo finished with 25 points and 11 rebounds across 46 minutes during Sunday's Game 7 against the Boston Celtics. He finished as the second-highest scorer on the team behind Jimmy Butler. Sadly, it wasn't enough as the Heat dropped this […]
