Jake Oettinger Keeps Calgary Quiet in Game 2

Dallas Stars goaltender Jake Oettinger produced a 29-save shutout in Thursday's 2-0 victory over Calgary. Joe Pavelski and Michael Raffl provided the offense as the Stars tied the first-round series at one. Oettinger also performed very well in Game 1, saving 25 of 26 shots, but he didn't get any goal support. The 23-year-old should […]

Connor Ingram Loses Playoff Debut Despite Making 49 Saves

Nashville Predators goaltender Connor Ingram was spectacular in his Stanley Cup Playoffs debut on Thursday with 49 saves, but he still couldn't save the team from a 2-1 overtime loss against Colorado. The 25-year-old got the start after David Rittich was lit up in Game 1. Things didn't start well for Ingram as the Avalanche […]

Cale Makar Gets Game-Winner, Has 12 Shots On Goal

Colorado Avalanche defenseman Cale Makar provided the game-winning goal in Thursday's 2-1 overtime victory against Nashville and set a franchise record for the most shots on goal registered in a playoff game. Makar found the net with his 12th effort 8:31 into overtime. Claude Lemieux was the previous franchise record holder with 11 shots. Makar […]

Eric (@SamskiNYC) and Sami (@Believe_Sami) chat with Rotoballer's Nicklaus Gaut (@nt_BurtReynolds) about hitting stats that have begun to stabilize and whether some league leaders - both good and bad - could be potential breakouts or guys that need to be dropped. They discuss Jeremy Pena, Rowdy Tellez, Christian Walker, Bobby Witt Jr., Steven Kwan, Eugenio […]

Taylor Rogers Secures 11th Save

San Diego Padres reliever Taylor Rogers collected his 11th save of the season on Thursday as his club defeated the Marlins 2-1. The southpaw picked up two strikeouts in the perfect frame, throwing 15 pitches as he still sits with a clean 0.00 ERA on the year. Rogers has a sharp 12/1 K/BB to go […]

Brooks Raley Nails Down Save For Rays

Tampa Bay Rays reliever Brooks Raley got the call in the ninth inning to seal the club's 4-1 lead over the Mariners, and he did just that to collect his second save of the season. The left-hander needed just 12 pitches to retire the side in order as he picked up one strikeout in the […]

Carlos Correa May Have Non-Displaced Fracture In Finger

Minnesota Twins shortstop Carlos Correa underwent imaging on his middle finger after being hit by a pitch twice on Thursday, and early indications are that he may have a non-displaced fracture. The 27-year-old will undergo a CT scan on Friday to confirm the diagnosis, but it sounds like he will miss some time with the […]

Tarik Skubal Strikes Out Nine Astros

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Tarik Skubal was sharp during Thursday's no-decision versus the Astros, striking out nine batters in his club's 3-2 loss. He gave up six hits and no walks in the 90-pitch outing, but was blemished by a pair of solo homers off the bats of Jose Altuve and Jeremy Peña. It was […]

Edwin Diaz Collects Sixth Save In Comeback Win

New York Mets reliever Edwin Diaz recorded his sixth save of the season on Thursday as his club erased a 7-1 deficit in the ninth to win the ball game 8-7. The right-hander handled his 18-pitch frame with ease by retiring the side in order, which included picking up two strikeouts to give him 21 […]

Joel Embiid Has A Shot At Returning On Friday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (concussion, face, thumb) is currently listed as out on the league's official injury report heading into Friday's playoff matchup versus Miami. Yet, if the superstar clears protocol before Game 3, there's a chance his designation could change. Embiid suffered a concussion and a fractured orbital bone during Game 6 of […]

Ryan Pressly Blows Save, Gets Win Thursday

Houston Astros reliever Ryan Pressly was credited with the win during Thursday's 3-2 win over the Tigers despite blowing his second save of the season. It was the right-hander's first appearance back from the IL after he suffered a knee injury in mid-April, and there was certainly some rust with his fastball velocity sitting in […]

Gabe Vincent Questionable Versus Philly

Miami Heat guard Gabe Vincent (knee) is questionable ahead of Friday's playoff meeting with the Philadelphia 76ers. Vincent is experiencing irritation in his right knee. However, it's unlikely he won't be available for Game 3. Nonetheless, with Kyle Lowry (hamstring) potentially returning for this one, Vincent's DFS stock may plummet. Yet, even if Lowry misses […]

P.J. Tucker Questionable For Game 3

Miami Heat forward P.J. Tucker (calf) is questionable ahead of Friday's playoff battle against Philadelphia. Tucker's name appearing on the injury report is more of a formality at this point, primarily since he's been burdened by a right calf strain for a while now. The veteran is expected to be in uniform for Game 3, […]

Max Strus Dealing With A Hamstring Issue

Miami Heat guard Max Strus (hamstring) is questionable heading into Game 3 of the playoff series against the Philadelphia 76ers. Strus continues to battle a strained right hamstring. However, it hasn't stopped him from suiting up. Yet, the 26-year-old hasn't been a consistent DFS producer during the second round, averaging just 7.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, […]

Caleb Martin Questionable For Game 3

Miami Heat forward Caleb Martin (ankle) is questionable ahead of the postseason meeting with Philadelphia on Friday night. Martin has been dealing with a sprained left ankle, although it hasn't stopped him from suiting up during the series. However, the 26-year-old hasn't done much of anything throughout the postseason, so he doesn't warrant much DFS […]

Breakout Hitters to Watch for Fantasy Baseball Week 5

Welcome back RotoBallers to another edition of my "Breakout Hitters To Watch" series. What we're doing here is taking good, close look at the hitting data each week to see which hitters are standing out the most. The idea is to find hitters that have made changes and/or really improved this season to find start-worthy […]

Packers Sign First-Rounder Quay Walker

The Green Bay Packers signed first-round linebacker Quay Walker to his rookie deal on Thursday. The No. 22 overall pick signed shortly after the team signed their other first-rounder, defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt, to a four-year, fully guaranteed deal worth $12.86 million with a $6.533 million signing bonus. Walker and Wyatt were two of five […]

Kyle Lowry May Return On Friday Night

Miami Heat guard Kyle Lowry (hamstring) has a chance at playing on Friday night against Philadelphia. The veteran suffered a left hamstring strain during Game 3 of the first round and hasn't been seen since. As a result, Gabe Vincent has taken his place in the lineup, although he's averaging only 8.5 points, 3.0 boards, […]

Eagles Sign First-Rounder Jordan Davis

The Philadelphia Eagles signed first-round defensive lineman Jordan Davis to a four-year, fully guaranteed $17 million deal that includes a $9.5 million signing bonus on Thursday, according to a source. The Eagles traded up within the first round of this year's draft to take Davis at No. 13 overall out of Georgia. He was one […]

Tyler Herro Back On The Injury Report For Game 3

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (ankle) is questionable heading into Friday's postseason showdown against Philadelphia. Herro is currently dealing with a sprained left ankle. However, he's been dealing with the injury throughout the series, so it is unlikely he won't suit up for Game 3. The 22-year-old played phenomenally during the first two contests versus […]

Seahawks Unlikely To Trade For Baker Mayfield?

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said he doesn't think the team will trade for a quarterback, even though he said they'll continue to look. "I don't see us making a trade for anybody at all. I don't see that happening," Carroll said. The Seahawks have been connected to Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield ever […]

Pete Carroll Thinks Seattle Will Lock Up DK Metcalf

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll thinks the team will eventually sign wide receiver DK Metcalf to a contract extension. "We want him to be here. He wants to be here. We'll figure it out. It'll just take us some time but we'll get it done," Carroll said. This comes after Metcalf recently expressed confidence […]

Is Trevor Bauer's Career Over?

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Trevor Bauer was hit with a two-year suspension by Major League Baseball for violating the league's sexual-assault and domestic-violence policy, and many people think he will never pitch again at the big-league level. "No one wants to stand up there next to him," one long-time baseball person said. The Dodgers […]

Fantasy Baseball Trade Targets - Buy/Sell For Week 4

Making the right trades can be crucial to championship success in fantasy baseball, almost as much as the draft, if not more. While most trades can have a significant impact on your fantasy team, it’s the deals where you acquire undervalued players and then see their production improve that can really tip the scales in […]

Xander Bogaerts Expected To Opt Out

Boston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts is expected to exercise the opt-out clause in his contract after this season and become a free agent. "He's going to leave," one friend predicted of the Red Sox star. The Red Sox reportedly offered only to add one year at $30 million, which even fans and local media […]

Jarvis Landry To Cleveland Still A Possibility?

Free-agent wide receiver Jarvis Landry could be on his way back to Cleveland. General manager Andrew Berry didn't dismiss the possibility of it happening, with both sides reportedly sharing mutual interest regarding a reunion. However, with Amari Cooper and Donovan Peoples-Jones on the roster, as well as capable pass-catching backs in Kareem Hunt and Nick […]
