Kris Bryant To Receive Cortisone Injection

Colorado Rockies third baseman Kris Bryant (back) is expected to receive a cortisone injection on Monday. The hope is that this injection into his back will help the healing process.

Kirby Yates Throws Bullpen Session

Atlanta Braves relief pitcher Kirby Yates (elbow) threw a 25-pitch bullpen session on Friday. The 34-year-old continues working his way back from Tommy John surgery.

Carlos Correa Unlikely To Play On Tuesday

Minnesota Twins shortstop Carlos Correa (finger) is unlikely to return to the starting lineup on Tuesday. He missed his third straight game on Sunday due to a finger injury.

Stephen Strasburg To Throw This Week

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Stephen Strasburg (neck, shoulder) is expected to throw a two-inning simulated game this week.

Chris Paddack Removed Early On Sunday

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Chris Paddack (undisclosed) was unable to get through Sunday's start against the Oakland Athletics.

Fantasy managers will have to check back for another update […]

Tyler Herro Likely Good To Go On Sunday

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (ankle) is expected to be available for Sunday's postseason battle in Philly. Herro's injury designation is nothing new, so he was never truly in danger of missing this one. He's played well throughout the playoffs, although the return of Kyle Lowry (hamstring) could cause a slight decrease in production.

Max Strus Likely To Play In Game 4, As Expected

Miami Heat guard Max Strus (hamstring) is expected to play during Sunday's postseason matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers. He has been bothered by a hamstring strain. However, considering the 26-year-old has been dealing with it for a while, it would have been surprising had it cost him this one. Strus is averaging 11.6 points, 2.9 […]

Gabe Vincent Likely To Suit Up For Game 4

Miami Heat guard Gabe Vincent (knee) is likely to be in uniform for Sunday's playoff showdown in Philadelphia. The 25-year-old has been dealing with right knee irritation.

P.J. Tucker Expected To Play On Sunday

Miami Heat forward P.J. Tucker (calf) is anticipated to suit up for Sunday's postseason meeting against Philadelphia. The veteran hasn't missed time recently because of his nagging right calf ailment, so it was highly unlikely he wouldn't be available for this one. Nonetheless, the 36-year-old should see plenty of minutes, especially with Joel Embiid (face, […]

Kyle Lowry Playing On Sunday Night

Miami Heat guard Kyle Lowry (hamstring) will play on Sunday night during the postseason battle against Philadelphia. Lowry returned for Game 3 after injuring his left hamstring during the previous series versus the Atlanta Hawks. He didn't play too well, though, finishing without logging a point.

Jake Odorizzi Tosses One-Hit Gem

Houston Astros starting pitcher Jake Odorizzi looked fantastic against the Detroit Tigers on Sunday. He went five innings, allowing one hit, two walks, and struck out five in the victory.

Dewayne Dedmon Out On Sunday

Miami Heat center Dewayne Dedmon (illness) won't play on Sunday during the playoff matchup versus the Philadelphia 76ers. The 32-year-old is averaging only 4.0 points and 3.3 boards throughout the postseason, so he hasn't been a reliable producer for DFS managers. However, considering the number of Miami players on the injury report, there was a […]

No Action Will Be Taken Against Jordan Poole

Golden State Warriors guard Jordan Poole has been cleared of any wrongdoing stemming from a play that resulted in Ja Morant's (knee) injury on Saturday night.

Ja Morant Expected To Miss Monday's Game

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (knee) isn't expected to suit up for the postseason matchup against Golden State on Monday night. The superstar injured his right knee late in the fourth quarter during Game 3 and underwent further testing.

Frank Schwindel Optioned To Triple-A Iowa Sunday

Chicago Cubs first baseman Frank Schwindel was optioned to Triple-A Iowa on Sunday, per Cubs writer Andy Martinez.

Pitcher Adrian Sampson was […]

Marcus Stroman Placed On Injured List Sunday

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Marcus Stroman (undisclosed) was a late scratch for Sunday's game against the Dodgers and was placed on the injured list with an undisclosed condition, per Cubs writer Andy Martinez.

Brad Marchand Sets New Playoff Career High With Five Points

Boston Bruins left wing Brad Marchand had a superb performance in Sunday's Game 4 victory over Carolina, recording a playoff career-high five points.

Nashville Predators goaltender Juuse Saros (lower body) will remain unavailable for Monday's Game 4 against Colorado.
