Luis Severino Strong Through Nine Starts

New York Yankees starting pitcher Luis Severino has posted a 3-1 record, 3.38 ERA, 1.10 WHIP, and 51 strikeouts across 48 innings to start the 2022 season. After missing all of 2020 and most of 2021, the two-time All-Star has reemerged as a reliable, high-end fantasy starter. Buoyed by a strong Yankees lineup and bullpen, […]

Sam Hilliard Evaluated For A Concussion

Colorado Rockies outfielder Sam Hilliard was in concussion protocol after making a diving catch in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Miami Marlins. He missed Game 2 of Wednesday's doubleheader and was held out of Thursday's contest against the Atlanta Braves. The 28-year-old is day-to-day, and there's a possibility that he could land […]

Blake Snell Rounding Into Form

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Blake Snell is rounding into form after missing all of April and part of May since returning from a groin injury. The 29-year-old allowed two earned runs across six innings while allowing two hits, three walks, and striking out six on Tuesday in St. Louis against the Cardinals. On the […]

Omar Narvaez Placed On COVID-19 Injured List

The Milwaukee Brewers placed catcher Omar Narvaez on the COVID-19 injured list Thursday. Alex Hall was selected from Class-A Wisconsin in a corresponding move.

Jacob deGrom Progressing As Planned

New York Mets starting pitcher Jacob deGrom (shoulder) won't travel with the team on their 10-game road trip to Southern California, but manager Buck Showalter said deGrom is progressing as planned. deGrom remains in New York and has yet to get back on a mound. The 33-year-old right-hander extended his throwing distance to 135 feet […]

The Baltimore Ravens and first-round center Tyler Linderbaum agreed on a four-year, fully guaranteed rookie deal on Thursday. He'll be the third Ravens draft pick to sign, joining third-round defensive tackle Travis Jones and sixth-round running back Tyler Badie. Lindberbaum's four-year deal is worth $14.897 million after he was selected with the 25th overall pick […]

No Timetable For Chase Young's Return

Washington Commanders star pass-rusher Chase Young (knee) has returned to the team's practice facilities to continue rehabbing a torn ACL in his right knee, and the 2020 Defensive Rookie of the Year is unsure when he'll be able to return to the field. He remains on track in his recovery, but he isn't taking part […]

D'Andre Swift Looks Bigger This Offseason

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift looks to have bulked up this offseason. Swift's goal this offseason was to add more muscle in order to take some of the big hits that kept him out of four games in his rookie season with a sprained shoulder. The 23-year-old has the skills to be Detroit's featured […]

Clayton Kershaw, Andrew Heaney Starting Rehab Assignments

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw (pelvis) will make his first minor league rehab start for Single-A Rancho Cucamonga on Sunday, and he could rejoin the Dodgers after that if all goes well.

Max Muncy To Start Rehab Assignment

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Max Muncy (elbow) is scheduled to start a minor league rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City in the next couple of days. Skipper Dave Roberts said Muncy's elbow continues to get stronger. Muncy was able to take batting practice on Wednesday and could rejoin the Dodgers lineup next week, barring any […]

Kevin Pillar Goes On Injured List With Shoulder Fracture

The Los Angeles Dodgers placed outfielder Kevin Pillar (shoulder) on the injured list on Thursday with a left shoulder fracture and recalled infielder/outfielder Zach McKinstry from the minors in a corresponding move.

Robinson Cano Optioned, Elects Free Agency

The San Diego Padres optioned infielder Robinson Cano to Triple-A El Paso on Thursday, but he has elected free agency. In a corresponding move, the team selected the contract of outfielder Nomar Mazara from the minors. After getting cut by the New York Mets earlier this year, Cano went just 3-for-33 with one RBI and […]

Drew Smyly Could Miss A Month

Chicago Cubs left-hander Drew Smyly (oblique) estimated that he could be out for at least a month after he landed on the 15-day injured list on Wednesday with a right oblique strain. It's not a surprise, as oblique injuries often take plenty of time for pitchers to return from. The 32-year-old southpaw will rest for […]

Dylan Carlson Expected To Begin Rehab Assignment Friday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Dylan Carlson (hamstring) is expected to begin a minor league rehab assignment on Friday night with Double-A Springfield. Carlson has been on the injured list since suffering a hamstring tear in late May, but he's inching closer towards a return to the Cardinals. Hopefully the time off allowed him reset mentally, […]

Cody Bellinger Back Against Mets

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Cody Bellinger (hip) is back in center field and is hitting seventh on Thursday against New York Mets right-hander Taijuan Walker. After missing the team's last four games, Bellinger will be back in there for the start of a series against New York in Los Angeles. The power-hitting left-hander has been […]

Brandon Crawford Scratched With Illness

San Francisco Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford (illness) was scratched from the lineup on Thursday against the Miami Marlins with a non-COVID illness. Make sure to remove him from your fantasy lineups before the game kicks off. Crawford hasn't done much at the plate for fantasy managers this year, slashing .216/.303/.329 with four home runs, 19 […]

Grayson Rodriguez Diagnosed With Lat Strain

Baltimore Orioles general manager Mike Elias said that an MRI exam on pitching prospect Grayson Rodriguez (lat) showed a right lat strain. There is no timetable for his return, and the team will get a second opinion. With lat strains for pitchers, it usually requires at least a month of recovery, so Rodriguez will be […]

Jack Flaherty Should Start Rehab Assignment Next Week

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Jack Flaherty (shoulder) is aimed toward beginning his minor league rehab assignment with a start next week for Double-A Springfield. Flaherty threw a two-inning live batting practice session on Tuesday and will throw another bullpen session on Thursday. The 26-year-old right-hander is feeling much better physically after a right shoulder […]

Tyler O'Neill To Begin Rehab Assignment Friday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill (shoulder) is scheduled to serve as the designated hitter on Friday for Triple-A Memphis to start his minor league rehab assignment.

Jay Scrubb Cleared For Basketball Activities

Los Angeles Clippers guard Jay Scrubb (foot) has been cleared to resume basketball activities. The young guard appeared in 18 games before undergoing season-ending surgery in February. The assumption is that Scrubb will be ready in time for the summer league. However, he'll likely be buried on the Clippers depth chart going forward. Fantasy managers […]

Emilio Pagan Blows Eighth-Inning Lead Thursday

Minnesota Twins right-hander Emilio Pagan appeared in the eighth inning of Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Detroit Tigers. He entered with a 2-1 lead but allowed a one-out single followed by a two-run home run to Daz Cameron.

Willy Adames Returns To Rehab Action

Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Willy Adames (ankle, quadriceps) will be back in the lineup for Triple-A Nashville on his minor league rehab assignment on Thursday, and he's expected to play half the game. Adames had some pain in his right quadriceps muscle during his first rehab game and sat out on Tuesday. The good news is […]

Gary Payton II Expected To Play In Game 1

Golden State Warriors guard Gary Payton II (elbow) is expected to be available for Thursday's Game 1 against the Boston Celtics. This is quite surprising considering Payton suffered a fractured elbow on May 3. It's unclear how many minutes Payton will play, but having him back on the court would be a plus for Golden […]

Hunter Renfroe Won't Return Friday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Hunter Renfroe (hamstring) won't come off the injured list when he's first eligible on Friday, according to skipper Craig Counsell. Renfroe should return soon, though, and he felt fine after doing some running on Thursday. The 30-year-old has been out with a right hamstring strain, but it looks like there's a good […]

Andre Iguodala Might Retire

Golden State Warriors forward Andre Iguodala (neck) carries a questionable tag heading into Thursday's Game 1 against the Boston Celtics. However, the veteran forward revealed he has made a final decision about his future. Although, Iguodala is waiting until after the series to reveal whether or not he plans to retire. He hasn't played since […]
