Tanner Houck Unvaccinated, Can't Pitch In Toronto

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Tanner Houck revealed to the Boston Globe on Sunday that he is not vaccinated. This means that he won't be allowed to travel with the team to Toronto for a four-game series against the Blue Jays later this month (April 25 to April 28). As the rotation is currently set […]

Caleb Smith Optioned To Triple-A

The Arizona Diamondbacks optioned left-handed pitcher Caleb Smith to Triple-A on Sunday. Right-handed pitcher Matt Peacock was called up in a corresponding move. Smith began the year as a member of the team's starting rotation, but he was shelled in his first outing. Facing the San Diego Padres on April 10, he allowed five runs […]

Yu Darvish Bounces Back In Sunday's Win Over Atlanta

San Diego Padres pitcher Yu Darvish (1-1) allowed one run on four hits with eight strikeouts over 6 2/3 innings in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Atlanta Braves.

Mike Trout Not Expected To Play Monday

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (hand) is not expected to play in Monday's game against the Houston Astros.

Taylor Rogers Notches Fourth Save

San Diego Padres pitcher Taylor Rogers struck out two over a perfect inning to earn the save in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Atlanta Braves. He entered the game in the ninth inning and made quick work of the Braves to secure his fourth save of the season. The 31-year-old has been terrific since being […]

Blake Snell Will Throw Side Session Tuesday

San Diego Padres pitcher Blake Snell (groin) is in line to throw a bullpen session Tuesday. He was placed on the 10-day injured list with left adductor tightness. The 29-year-old will miss at least one more turn in the rotation and continues to be day-to-day. On Wednesday, San Diego's top prospect MacKenzie Gore is scheduled […]

Mike Clevinger Scheduled For Final Rehab Start Tuesday

San Diego Padres pitcher Mike Clevinger (knee) is scheduled to make his final rehab start Tuesday for Triple-A El Paso. Last Thursday, he allowed one hit while striking out five across two scoreless innings in a rehab start with Low-A Lake Elsinore. The 31-year-old had no setbacks and was impressive in his rehab outing, landing […]

Taijuan Walker Throws Bullpen Session Sunday

New York Mets pitcher Taijuan Walker (shoulder) threw a bullpen session on Sunday. According to manager Buck Showalter, he'll need more than one rehab start before returning. Due to right shoulder irritation, the 29-year-old exited his previous start after just four innings. Barring any setbacks, he could be activated from the injured list next week. […]

Celtics Planning To Be Without Robert Williams III

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (knee) suffered a torn left meniscus in March but may return at some point during the postseason series with the Brooklyn Nets. However, according to head coach Ime Udoka, the team continues to plan that its big man won't be available. Nonetheless, even if Williams can make it back […]

Ronald Acuna Jr. Set For Rehab Assignment Tuesday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (knee) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday. The Braves outfielder started the season on the injured list as he continues to recover from ACL surgery that forced him to miss the end of the 2021 season. He slashed .283/.394/.596 with 24 homers, 52 […]

Frank Ntilikina Out Again On Monday Evening

Dallas Mavericks guard Frank Ntilikina (illness) is out for Game 2 of the postseason matchup against the Utah Jazz. Ntilikina continues to recover from a tonsillectomy, although he isn't expected to have much of a role in the lineup even if he's healthy. However, that may change if Luka Doncic (calf), who isn't expected to […]

Gary Trent Jr. Doubtful For Game 2 On Monday

Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. (illness) is unlikely to play during the playoff matchup against the 76ers. Trent had a rough go during Game 1, finishing with nine points on 2-for-11 shooting. He was projected to take on a more prominent role in Game 2 on Monday night after Scottie Barnes (ankle) suffered a […]

Landry Shamet Available For Game 1

Phoenix Suns guard Landry Shamet (foot) is listed as available for Sunday's first-round opener against the New Orleans Pelicans. The 25-year-old had been labeled as day-to-day after suffering a left foot injury ahead of Game 1. However, while Shamet will be in uniform, it's unlikely he will serve much of a purpose for DFS managers […]

Gadzhi Omargadzhiev Suffers Odd Loss Saturday

In a very bizzare way to suffer his first loss, Gadzhi Omargadzhiev took his first professional loss via technical unanimous decision. In a wild ending, Caio Borralho took the technical unanimous decision just 3:56 into the third round of action. Borralho kneed a downed Omargadzhiev. Due to Gadzhi being unable to continue, the bout went […]

Caio Borralho Wins On Technical Unanimous Decision

In a wild ending, Caio Borralho took the technical unanimous decision just 3:56 into the third round of action on Saturday. Borralho kneed a downed Gadzhi Omargadzhiev. Due to Gadzhi being unable to continue, the bout went to the scorecards, which had Borralo winning the contest 29-27, 29-27, 29-27. In 14:04 of action, Borralho tallied […]

Denzel Mims Putting In Extra Work This Offseason

New York Jets wide receiver Denzel Mims is seemingly ready for the 2022-23 season to begin. Mims, who was selected in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft, has struggled throughout his tenure as a professional, finishing the 2021-22 campaign by hauling in only eight catches for 133 yards. However, he's reportedly now "bigger […]

Trey Lance Believes He Will Start In 2022-23

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Trey Lance is under the impression he will be the team's starter this season, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. The Niners are reportedly pleased with Lance's development this offseason, so it seems logical that the sophomore will be atop the depth chart in 2022-23. The market also hasn't been favorable for […]

Miguel Baeza Suffers First-Round TKO Loss

It continues to get worse for the once-undefeated Miguel Baeza. Previously 10-0, Baeza is now 10-3 and has suffered two knockout losses among those three losses. On Saturday, he suffered a first-round TKO defeat. In 4:39 of action, Baeza tallied 24 significant strikes but absorbed 32 significant strikes. With his three UFC wins coming via […]

2B/SS Waiver Wire Pickups for Fantasy Baseball Week 2

Andre Fialho Earns Big First-Round TKO For First UFC Win

Andre Fialho's first UFC victory could not have gone much better, knocking out Miguel Baeza in the first round of their contest Saturday night. After apparently breaking the nose of Baeza, Fialho landed a hard left hand that dropped his opponent and eventually led to the end of the contest. In 4:39 of action, Fialho […]
