Top Hitter Streamers and Starts for Fantasy Baseball - Week 7

Major League Baseball has to be the only sport where the ball not only gets altered constantly, but also with zero transparency. We saw offense start to pick up last week, but, then again, that also coincided with a run of not as great pitching talent, so it is hard to say with conviction that […]

NFBC Waiver Wire Report for Week 7 - Deeper Hitter Pickups for Fantasy Baseball

We have completed another week of MLB action, making it time to make more waiver wire moves. However, things will be slightly different for our weekly look into the high-stakes NFBC landscape. For those that do not know, in the NFBC, there are no IL spots and no trades, making waiver moves a bit different. […]

Charlie Blackmon Resting On Sunday

On the bright side, we've seen some better […]

Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins (ankle) is questionable ahead of Sunday's playoff bout against Dallas. The veteran is currently plagued by a left ankle issue.

Tyler Herro Plagued By A Quad Injury

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (quadriceps) should be considered questionable ahead of Game 4.

Nonetheless, an update on his availability should be coming soon. […]

J.D. Martinez A Last-Minute Scratch On Sunday

Boston Red Sox outfielder J.D. Martinez (back) was scratched from the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Seattle Mariners just moments before the game began.

Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Luis Urias is getting the day off on Sunday as the team takes on right-hander Aaron Sanchez and the Washington Nationals.

Marcus Smart Shouldn't Miss Time

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart finished with 16 points, seven assists, and four boards during the playoff loss to Miami on Saturday evening.

Tee Higgins Expected To Be Ready For Training Camp

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (shoulder) didn't take part in the team's organized team activities last week, as expected, but he's expected to be good to go for training camp this summer.

The Cleveland Browns officially re-signed pass-rusher Jadeveon Clowney to a one-year deal worth $11 million on Sunday, according to a source. The two sides agreed to terms on Wednesday, but they needed to finalize a few things before the deal became official. The 29-year-old has battled injuries throughout his career since being the first overall […]

Jimmy Butler Expected Back For Game 4

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (knee) didn't return to Saturday's postseason win over the Celtics after his right knee became inflamed. However, as alarming as Butler's premature exit was for Heat fans, this injury is nothing new, as he also missed a game for the same reason during Miami's first-round series against the Atlanta Hawks. […]

Patriots Offense In Trouble?

New England Patriots players are "alarmed" so far with what they've seen from the team's offensive coaching staff. "There is a high-level of concern about what is going on with the Patriots," Boston Sports Journal's Greg A. Bedard said. It's something to watch, but we shouldn't jump to conclusions just yet with head coach Bill […]

Chad Green To Undergo Tommy John Surgery

New York Yankees relief pitcher Chad Green (elbow) will undergo season-ending Tommy John surgery, according to Yankees manager Aaron Boone. The 30-year-old had been undergoing tests on his elbow over the past few days, and the team had been speculating that Green was likely to miss extended time. Green racked up three holds and a […]

Jayson Tatum Suffers Stinger In Game 3

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (shoulder) finished with 10 points on Saturday night during the loss to Miami. He also added six boards and four assists.

Jorge Soler Getting A Breather On Sunday

Miami Marlins outfielder Jorge Soler is absent from the starting lineup for Sunday's game against right-hander Ian Anderson and the Atlanta Braves.
