Michael Wacha Up In The Air For Friday's Start

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Michael Wacha (arm) is questionable for his start against the New York Yankees on Friday. Wacha has been dealing with a "heavy arm" lately. The issue caused him to be scratched from his start against the Tampa Bay Rays this past Monday. The team went with a bullpen game in […]

New York Mets right-hander Chris Bassitt is officially set to be activated from the injured list and start Friday's game against the Miami Marlins.

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers (back, hamstring) is back at third base and is hitting second in the lineup on Thursday against New York Yankees right-hander Gerrit Cole. Devers sat out the last two games with a sore right hamstring and back tightness, but it was never considered serious, and he'll return to […]

Jamie Mullarkey Facing Knockout Artist This Weekend

Jamie Mullarkey (14-5) looks to have reversed his recent good fortunes after suffering a second-round knockout in March. Entering the UFC, Mullarkey lost his first two contests by decision before winning back-to-back bouts by knockout/TKO. A finisher when he does get a victory, 13 of his 14 career wins have come via the finish, with […]

Mike Soroka Hit In Knee While Rehabbing

Atlanta Braves right-hander Mike Soroka (Achilles, knee) was hit in the knee by a comebacker when he pitched a few days ago, according to a person with knowledge of the situation. Although it's just a bruise and not considered a long-term issue, the Braves don't yet have a start date for his rehab assignment. Manager […]

Michael Johnson Looking For Back-To-Back Wins

A veteran of the UFC since TUF Season 12 in 2010, Michael Johnson (20-17) returns to action on Saturday after a big knockout victory in May. Going into his last matchup against Alan Patrick with a four-fight losing streak, Johnson showed he still has some power in the gas tank. DraftKings sees Johnson as the […]

M's Hope To Have Mitch Haniger, Kyle Lewis Back In July

Seattle Mariners general manager Jerry Dipoto said he hopes to have outfielders Mitch Haniger (ankle) and Kyle Lewis (concussion) back in the lineup by the end of July. Haniger is slowly progressing but has starting doing some baseball activities, and he'll need to go on a lengthy minor league rehab assignment before returning. The 31-year-old […]

Ty France Could Return Thursday

Seattle Mariners general manager Jerry Dipoto said on his radio show that first baseman Ty France (elbow) will be back this weekend and could return from the injured list as early as Thursday night against the Toronto Blue Jays. France has been out since late June after being diagnosed with a Grade 2 flexor strain […]

Bobby Witt Jr. Working Out Thursday

Kansas City Royals rookie shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. (hand) is taking grounders and swings on Thursday to determine his availability moving forward. Manager Mike Matheny said the scans on Witt's hand on Wednesday all came back clear, so he's currently considered day-to-day after being hit by a pitch on the right hand on Tuesday. The […]

Ryan Mountcastle Returns Against Angels

Baltimore Orioles first baseman Ryan Mountcastle is back at first base and is batting cleanup on Thursday against Los Angeles Angels right-hander Chase Silseth. Mountcastle missed the last two games due to a sinus issue, but fantasy managers need to get him back into their lineups in season-long leagues on Thursday. The 25-year-old is one […]

Tyler Stephenson, Alexis Diaz Could Return This Weekend

Cincinnati Reds catcher Tyler Stephenson (thumb) could return from the injured list on Saturday or Sunday, while rookie relief pitcher Alexis Diaz (biceps) is on track to return on Friday, according to skipper David Bell. Stephenson will play in two more minor league rehab games for Triple-A Louisville before returning as the team's starting catcher. […]

Nelson Cruz Back In The Lineup

Washington Nationals designated hitter Nelson Cruz (illness) is back in the starting lineup as the designated hitter and is batting cleanup on Thursday against Philadelphia Phillies left-hander Bailey Falter. Cruz missed the last two games with a stomach issue, but he's back in there for the series finale against Philadelphia. With Cruz returning as the […]

Jeremy Pena Scratched From Lineup Thursday

Houston Astros rookie shortstop Jeremy Pena was scratched from the starting lineup on Thursday due to "health and safety protocols," according to the team. Pena hasn't been placed on the COVID-19 injured list, and it remains to be seen if he's sick at all or even if he tested positive for the virus, so fantasy […]

Miles Mikolas Takes Loss in Quality Start Wednesday

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Miles Mikolas was solid once again on Wednesday, allowing three runs on five hits and a walk in six innings while striking out four batters. Unfortunately, he didn't receive any run support from the offense, and he was assigned his seventh loss of the season against five wins. Mikolas has […]

Marcell Ozuna Homers, Continues Heating Up

Atlanta Braves outfielder/designated hitter Marcell Ozuna added another home run Wednesday night, his 17th of the season. Ozuna has now homered three times in his last four games and has a modest five-game hitting streak going. Ozuna's disappointing .708 OPS surely has fantasy managers in fits, but he does have a chance to eclipse his […]

Bills' Offensive Line Depth Could Be A Problem

The Buffalo Bills don't have many holes in their starting lineup, but offensive line depth could become a big problem if they sustain any injuries in 2022. Cody Ford is their top backup guard, but he was benched for poor play after only three games last year. Top backup tackle David Quessenberry signed a one-year […]

Eddie Rosario Hits First Homer

Atlanta Braves outfielder Eddie Rosario hit his first home run of the season Wednesday night, smacking a solo shot off Miles Mikolas in the fifth inning of a 3-0 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals. Rosario was 1-for-2 before being removed for a pinch hitter. It appears that Rosario will be used as a platoon […]

Ravens Lacking In Pass-Rush Department

The Baltimore Ravens didn't do anything significant this offseason to immediately upgrade their pass rush off the edge. Second-round rookie David Ojabo could be a factor eventually, but he's also recovering from a mid-March Achilles tear. Tyus Bowser led the team in sacks in 2021, but he's questionable for the start of the season after […]

Hunter Dozier Homers, Drives In Three

Kansas City Royals corner infielder/outfielder Hunter Dozier hit his ninth home run of the year Wednesday night, a two-run shot off Houston Astros starting pitcher Cristian Javier. He also doubled, walked, and drove in one additional run in four total plate appearances. Dozier has slashed .291/.371/.545 with three homers, one steal, nine runs, and nine […]

Andrew Benintendi Steals A Base, Scores Thrice

Kansas City Royals outfielder Andrew Benintendi continued to build his trade value Wednesday night, going 2-for-3 with a double, two walks, three runs scored, an RBI, and a stolen base in a 7-4 win over the Houston Astros. Benintendi doesn't add much in the power or speed categories, with just three homers and two steals […]

Scott Barlow Locks Down 13th Save

Kansas City Royals relief pitcher Scott Barlow locked down his 13th save Wednesday, allowing one hit and striking out two batters in one inning of work against the Houston Astros. Barlow has been successful in all but two of his save opportunities this season, and he has a 2.39 ERA and 1.04 WHIP to his […]

Chase Edmonds Lined Up To Be Lead Back

Miami Dolphins running back Chase Edmonds signed a two-year, $12.6 million deal this offseason after spending his first four seasons with the Arizona Cardinals, and it seems like he's going to enter the year as Miami's lead back. Edmonds has plenty of versatility and should see the majority of the opportunities, but he'll also be […]

Merrill Kelly Solid In No-Decision Against Giants

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Merrill Kelly threw a quality start against the San Francisco Giants Wednesday, allowing two runs on two hits and three walks in 6 1/3 innings. He struck out six batters. Kelly has now lasted at least six innings in six consecutive starts, with two earned runs or less in four of […]

Mitch White Allows One Hit In No-Decision

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Mitch White took the mound against the Colorado Rockies Wednesday night and led the club to a 2-1 victory by allowing just one hit in 5 2/3 innings. He did walk four batters, along with his six strikeouts. An elevated pitch count kept White from going deeper into the game, […]

Cody Bellinger Steals A Base, Adds Three Hits

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Cody Bellinger led the way offensively in a 2-1 victory over the Colorado Rockies Wednesday, going 3-for-4 with a stolen base and two runs scored. While Bellinger has largely been disappointing this (and previous) seasons, he has now reached double digits in both homers and steals with 11 long balls and […]

David Moore Arrested On Drug, Weapon Charges

Chicago Bears wide receiver David Moore was arrested in Gainesville, Texas, on drug and weapon charges on Monday. He was released from jail on a $5,000 bond.
