Wander Franco Activated From Injured List

The Tampa Bay Rays activated shortstop Wander Franco (quadriceps) from the 10-day injured list on Sunday. Fantasy managers can now slot him back into their starting lineups, as Franco is back at shortstop and is hitting in the two-hole on Sunday against Pittsburgh Pirates right-hander Roansy Contreras. The 21-year-old was on the injured list for […]

Kevin Harvick Starts In Eighth Sunday

Kevin Harvick will be starting in eighth place on Sunday at Nashville Superspeedway. If Harvick needs to push for the playoffs, it should start now, as he sits in 17th place and is only seven points behind Aric Almirola. If Harvick were to win this race, he would make the playoffs. If Almirola were to […]

Jazz Chisholm Jr. Sitting Against Lefty

Miami Marlins second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. is not in the starting lineup on Sunday against New York Mets left-hander David Peterson. Chisholm returned to Saturday's lineup after leaving early on Friday with back spasms, but he'll be back on the bench Sunday. The 24-year-old has been a must-start in fantasy as a catalyst atop […]

Ross Chastain Starts Seventh Sunday

Ross Chastain will be starting in seventh place on Sunday at Nashville Superspeedway. It will be interesting to see how Chastain finishes, because it feels like he's made many enemies in the past couple of races. A good storyline will be if Chastain's past catches up to him and he gets dumped. However, going into […]

Mets Confident Jeff McNeil Will Return Tuesday

New York Mets skipper Buck Showalter said he's very confident that infielder Jeff McNeil (hamstring) will return to the lineup on Tuesday against the Houston Astros after an off day on Monday. McNeil will miss his fifth straight game on Sunday against the Miami Marlins due to right hamstring tightness, but it sounds like fantasy […]

Ryan Blaney Starts In The Third Row

Ryan Blaney will be starting in sixth place this Sunday at Nashville Superspeedway. Hopefully, Blaney can get his first win of the season, because he now sits in 13th place in the standings. This is key, because if more drivers win their first race, Blaney will be passed by them and could fall out of […]

Hunter Renfroe Placed On Injured List

The Milwaukee Brewers placed outfielder Hunter Renfroe (calf) on the 10-day injured list on Sunday with a left calf strain and recalled infielder/outfielder Pablo Reyes from Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding move. Renfroe's injured list placement is retroactive to June 23. The 30-year-old slugger hasn't played since Wednesday and will now miss more time. He […]

Trent Grisham Dealing With Shoulder Soreness

San Diego Padres outfielder Trent Grisham (shoulder) was a late scratch from Saturday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies due to right shoulder soreness. It doesn't sound like the injury is overly serious, but fantasy managers need to check the Padres starting lineup on Sunday before penciling him back into fantasy lineups. Grisham has been a […]

Daniel Suarez Looks For Back-To-Back Wins

Daniel Suarez will round out the top five, starting in fifth place on Sunday at Nashville Superspeedway. As we all know, Suarez got his first career win last race at Sonoma, which most likely puts him into the playoffs. Suarez will try to shock the NASCAR world and go back-to-back after not winning a race […]

Jeremy Pena Activated From Injured List

As expected, the Houston Astros activated rookie shortstop Jeremy Pena (thumb) from the injured list and optioned outfielder Chas McCormick to Triple-A Sugar Land in a corresponding move. Fantasy managers will want to get Pena back into their lineups immediately, as he's back at shortstop and hitting sixth on Sunday against New York Yankees left-hander […]

Aric Almirola Another Long-Shot Driver For Nashville

Aric Almirola begins Sunday evening from the 11th position for the Ally 400. The No. 10 Ford led one lap at Nashville last year but more importantly finished fourth on the track last season. Almirola gained speed and track position after Stage 2 last year. He went from eighth into the top-five and nearly top-three […]

Alex Bowman Worth A Look At Nashville

The Ally 400 could be a track Alex Bowman fares well at when it comes to the Sunday race. Bowman starts 12th and has looked good on similar tracks this year. That includes a fifth-place finish at Dover, a ninth-place showing at Kansas and a plus-12 place differential at Gateway. Again, if you are looking […]

Yordan Alvarez Out Against Yankees

Houston Astros outfielder/designated hitter Yordan Alvarez is not in the starting lineup on Sunday against the New York Yankees. It's just a regular day off for Alvarez, but fantasy managers need to make sure to remove him from their daily lineups. The 24-year-old left-handed slugger continues to mash the baseball this year. He's hitting .312/.401/.649 […]

Chase Elliott Will Start Inside The Top Five

Chase Elliott will be starting in a great position on Sunday as he starts in fourth place at Nashville Superspeedway. In last season's race at Nashville, Elliott finished dead-last, so Sunday will most likely be an improvement. With stats of one win, three top-fives and 10 top-10 finishes, Elliott has the most actual points with […]

William Byron A Bit Troubling For Nashville

One cannot compare Nashville to just one track, and William Byron knows that better than anyone. This year on tracks somewhat similar, Byron has not fared too well. His 22nd-place finish at Dover and 19th-place finish at Gateway were worrisome. Even his 16th-place finish at Kansas was rough. This just clouds the early run Byron […]

Wilmer Flores Homers, Doubles On Saturday

San Francisco Giants infielder Wilmer Flores was locked in at the plate in Saturday's 9-2 win over the Cincinnati Reds. He went 2-for-4 with a double and a three-run home run, and he scored twice. Flores is again having a solid year offensively, hitting .249 with nine home runs, 40 RBI, and 37 runs across […]

A.J. Allmendinger Not Recommended For Nashville

A.J. Allmendinger qualified 14th at Nashville for the Ally 400 on Sunday evening. That was a bit of a surprise for the Kaulig Racing driver who usually has issues on hybrid tracks. Allmendinger watched his brakes fail at Dover but was not running well. Despite that, he managed a tenth at Gateway which was a […]

Chris Buescher A Long Shot To Finish Well At Nashville

Chris Buescher is another driver with high aspirations at Nashville for the Ally 400. He starts in the top-15 after a runner-up finish at Sonoma. Also, the RFK Racing driver had a top-ten result at Dover (eighth) and even third on the dirt at Bristol. The Dover result is a bit more significant here. He […]

Tom Brady Has Been Better In His 40s

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady has more passing yards and touchdown passes since he turned 40 than he did in his 20s. In his 20s, Brady had 21,564 passing yards and 147 touchdowns, while he has 22,938 passing yards and 168 TD passes in his 40s. He played 94 games in his 20s, while […]

Kyle Larson Starts Third Sunday

Kyle Larson will be starting in third place on Sunday at Nashville Superspeedway. Larson will be looking to go back-to-back after he won last year's race at Nashville, and he is in an excellent position to do it again this year. Larson took a step back from his championship run last year, but that was […]

Tyler Reddick May Have Some Issues At Nashville

Tyler Reddick starts 16th on Sunday for the Ally 400. The No. 8 Chevy has had some problems lately. It seems ever since Bristol (dirt), the driver has not quite enjoyed the same consistency or results for that matter. Despite mostly good qualifying numbers, Reddick has finished outside the top-30 three times with two DNF's […]

Brandon Nimmo Collects Three Hits Saturday

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo had three hits in five at-bats during Saturday's 5-3 win over the Miami Marlins. The 29-year-old's having a productive season at the top of the Mets lineup, slashing .275/.364/.414 with four home runs, 23 RBI, and 41 runs. Nimmo will never hit for much power but will continue scoring […]

Michael McDowell Trying To Continue The Momentum

Michael McDowell finished in third at Sonoma before the NASCAR break. The Front Row Motorsports driver does have five top-ten results in his last nine races. Even at Gateway, McDowell led a total of 34 laps before problems set him knocking the driver back to 18th. He ironically begins 18th this week from Nashville as […]

Does Kurt Busch's Up-And-Down Run Continue At Nashville?

Kurt Busch has had one wild ride this season, but one thing has been consistent over the last couple of the months: his inconsistency. The elder Busch has not finished in the top 15 twice in a row since late March. Part of that issue has been course construction, but part of that has also […]

Jonathan Garibay The Only Kicker On Cowboys Roster

The Dallas Cowboys currently only have one kicker on their 90-man roster, undrafted rookie Jonathan Garibay out of Texas Tech. The Cowboys are likely to add another kicker before training camp begins at the end of July. Dallas could re-sign Chris Naggar, who was released before rookie minicamp in the spring, but he has kicked […]

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. May Fly Under The Radar At Nashville

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. begins Sunday's Ally 400 from the 25th position. That may not be good for the Chevy but he will likely not be on many radars for this race. He was able to finish in the top-ten last year and has had some success on similar tracks. The JTG Daugherty Racing driver was […]

Joey Logano Starts On The Front Row

Joey Logano will be starting on the first row in second place at Nashville Superspeedway. It will be interesting to see what happens to Logano, because he has had an exciting stretch, to say the least, as he has been all over the place when it comes to finishing the race. However, despite his finishing […]

Kyle Busch Starts From The Rear Sunday At Nashville

Kyle Busch cannot be a happy camper after having to start 36th for Sunday's Ally 400 in Nashville. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver had some bad luck in last year's race. He was in the top ten for good stretches and then fuel conservation became an issue. Most forget he was running third before that […]

Cowboys, Dalton Schultz Not Close To Extension

The Dallas Cowboys and tight end Dalton Schultz aren't close to working out a long-term contract extension. Current market conditions could compel the Cowboys to wait it out. Schultz will play the 2022 season on a $10.93 million franchise tag if an extension isn't worked out by July 15, and he could face the possibility […]
