Dwight Howard To Rest On Sunday

Los Angeles Lakers center Dwight Howard (rest) won't suit up for Sunday's game against the Denver Nuggets. The veteran big man will see his season come to an end as this contest is the regular season finale. The potential is there for Howard to be a fantasy contributor, but it needs to be the perfect […]

Josh Rogers Likely To Start Monday

With Washington Nationals starting pitcher Anibal Sanchez (neck) now doubtful to make his season debut on Monday at the Atlanta Braves, left-hander Josh Rogers is the likeliest candidate to take the bump in Sanchez's absence. Sanchez has been dealing with stiffness in his next the last few days, and the 38-year-old could require a stint […]

Blake Snell To Land On IL, Mackenzie Gore Could Pitch Friday

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Blake Snell (groin) is probably headed to the injured list, but manager Bob Melvin said Snell's adductor injury isn't nearly as serious as the one that shut the left-hander down last September. The 29-year-old was scratched from his season debut on Sunday against the Arizona Diamondbacks with adductor tightness, and […]

Steven Matz Crushed In Loss To Pirates

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Steven Matz had an ugly outing versus the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday. He only lasted three innings, allowing nine hits and seven earned runs in the 9-4 loss. This is quite surprising considering the Pirates lineup is actually better versus right-handed pitching. Nonetheless, Matz got crushed and allowed a ton […]

Carlos Carrasco Solid In No-Decision

New York Mets starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco went 5 2/3 very strong innings pitched in the Mets' 4-2 loss to the Washington Nationals on Sunday. Carrasco did not factor into the decision, allowing only one run on two hits while striking out five batters. After allowing a first inning home run, he settled in and […]

Seiya Suzuki Hits First Career Homer

Chicago Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki has been surprisingly solid through his first three regular season games. On Wednesday, Suzuki kicked off the game with a three-run home run in the first inning. It was his first career home run and was an 111-mph shot off right-hander Freddy Peralta. Suzuki has shown plenty of patience early […]

Marcus Stroman Solid In No-Decision

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Marcus Stroman made his team debut versus the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday. Stroman was sharp through five innings, but unable to get the win. He went five innings, two hits allowed, one earned run, three walks, and three strikeouts in the no-decision. Honestly, his only significant mistake was a home run […]

Dean Kremer Likely Headed To Injured List

Baltimore Orioles pitcher Dean Kremer (oblique) was forced to exit before making his season debut on Sunday. Kremer suffered a left oblique strain while warming up for Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. He was a candidate to start on Tuesday, but could be headed to the injured list. Kremer struggled with the Orioles […]

DJ Stewart Optioned To Minors

Baltimore Orioles outfielder DJ Stewart has been optioned to the minor leagues on Sunday. The 28-year-old outfielder went hitless over the weekend, so he'll head to Triple-A to continue working on his game. Stewart hit .204/.324/.374 with 12 home runs and 33 RBI in 100 games with the Orioles last season. There wasn't much reason […]

Matt Barnes Remains Out On Sunday

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Matt Barnes (back) won't be available for Sunday's game against the New York Yankees. Barnes continues to deal with back stiffness, but is hopeful to avoid a trip to the injured list. The Red Sox are hopeful that Barnes will be available out of the bullpen on Monday. Until then, […]

Garrett Cooper Avoids Major Injury

Miami Marlins first baseman Garrett Cooper (wrist) was forced to exit early during Sunday's game against the San Francisco Giants. Cooper was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded in the fourth inning. Luckily, the X-rays came back negative, so Cooper isn't expected to miss significant time. The organization is listing him as day-to-day […]

Ozzie Albies Reaches Twice In Loss To The Reds

Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies went 0-for-2 with a pair of walks and a strikeout in a 6-3 loss to the Cincinnati Reds on Sunday. The Atlanta bats struggled to get much offense going against Reds rookie Hunter Greene, who had himself an impressive debut. Albies has scuffled at the plate here in the […]

Luis Robert Scores A Pair Of Runs And Steals A Base

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert went 1-for-5 with two runs scored and a stolen base in a 10-1 over the Detroit Tigers on Sunday. Robert singled, swiped a bag, and scored a run in his first plate appearance of the day. He later reached base via a force out and came around to score […]

Kyle Lowry To Rest On Sunday

Miami Heat guard Kyle Lowry (rest) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Orlando Magic. The veteran point guard will get a rest day here with the Heat already locking up the top seed. Gabe Vincent (toe) is listed as questionable, but would see significant minutes, assuming he's cleared to play. Otherwise, Max […]

Klay Thompson To Return On Sunday

Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson (rest) will suit up for Sunday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Thompson missed their previous game for rest purposes, but will get back in action on Sunday. The Warriors need to win this game in order to lock up the third seed. Damion Lee is likely to head […]

Reggie Jackson To Rest Versus Thunder

Los Angeles Clippers guard Reggie Jackson (rest) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Clippers have nothing to gain from this game and already know who they face in the play-in tournament. That being said, Jackson, Paul George, Norman Powell and Marcus Morris Sr. will all sit this game […]

Bryce Harper Goes Hitless In Loss To The A's

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper went 0-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts in a 4-1 loss to the Oakland Athletics on Sunday. The Phillies couldn't get much of anything going against A's starter Daulton Jefferies and company. They mustered just three hits as a team and didn't get on the scoreboard until the bottom of […]

Mitchell Robinson To Sit Out Versus Raptors

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Robinson will finish out the regular season on the sideline due to a non-COVID related illness. Jericho Sims should start and could be an interesting fantasy option for managers in need of defense. Robinson showed flashes of […]

Fred Vanvleet, Pascal Siakam To Rest On Sunday

Toronto Raptors guard Fred VanVleet (knee) and Pascal Siakam (rest) have been ruled out for Sunday's game against the New York Knicks. The Raptors are giving some of their starters the game off with the No. 5 seed already locked up. Malachi Flynn will draw the start and have streaming appeal in deep leagues. However, […]

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Swats First HR Of 2022

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk, and a strikeout in a 12-6 loss to the Texas Rangers on Sunday. Guerrero Jr. led off the bottom of the third inning by swatting his first home run of the season off Rangers starter Spencer Howard. It […]

Tyler Herro To Sit Out Versus Magic

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Orlando Magic. The Heat already have the top seed locked up, so there is no incentive to play Herro at less than 100 percent. That being said, Caleb Martin, Max Strus, and Duncan Robinson should all see more action on […]

OG Anunoby Is Available Against Knicks

Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby (quad) will suit up for Sunday's game against the New York Knicks. He has officially been cleared to play, but it's uncertain how long he'll be on the court. The Raptors are unlikely to push Anunoby too hard with the playoffs right around the corner. Precious Achiuwa and Chris Boucher […]

Blake Snell Scratched With Adductor Tightness On Sunday

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Blake Snell (groin) was a last-minute scratch from his start against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday due to left adductor tightness. The team went on to send out Nabil Crismatt to start the game. Snell dealt with left adductor tightness late last season as well, so it's certainly concerning to […]

Cade Cunningham Won't Play On Sunday

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. The rookie guard is going to sit out the regular season finale due to hip soreness. His absence means Killian Hayes and Saben Lee will see more playing time coming their way. Hayes is the better fantasy option […]

Bam Adebayo Won't Be Available On Sunday

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Orlando Magic. He has been ruled out for this contest due to the league's health and safety protocols. That means, Adebayo must spend five days away from the team. However, he should be back in time for the playoffs. Omer Yurtseven […]

Art Warren Earns His First Save On Sunday

Cincinnati Reds relief pitcher Art Warren closed out the team's 6-3 victory over the Atlanta Braves on Sunday to earn his first save of the year. He pitched a scoreless ninth inning, allowing one hit and no walks while striking out one. Tony Santillan earned the team's first save of the year on Opening Day, […]

Mads Sogaard Set For Second Start On Sunday

Ottawa Senators goaltender Mads Sogaard will log his second career appearance on Sunday against Winnipeg. He had a dream debut last weekend against Detroit as he started off his NHL career with a solid 27-save effort and a 5-2 win. The 21-year-old has also had a decent season with the Belleville Senators in the AHL […]

Tanner Rainey Records Nationals First Save

Washington Nationals relief pitcher Tanner Rainey earned the save in Sunday's 4-2 victory over the New York Mets. It was the team's first victory of the year and the first time we've seen the club handle a save opportunity. All indications are that the Nationals will go with a closer-by-committee approach this year. However, Kyle […]

Ryan McDonagh Ends Eight-Game Absence

Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Ryan McDonagh (upper body) is set to end an eight-game absence on Sunday against Buffalo. He's replacing Cal Foote in the lineup. The veteran rearguard has been on the cusp of returning all week and finally rejoins the action. Ryan McDonagh typically eats up over 20 minutes on the blue line […]

Matthew Boldy Returns To Action Sunday

Minnesota Wild winger Matthew Boldy (upper body) will be back in the lineup Sunday against Los Angeles. He's returning after sitting out four games. The 21-year-old has been among the league's most prolific rookies since making his NHL debut on Jan. 6. He's on 12 goals and 27 points for the season across 35 outings. […]
