Tim Stutzle Expected To Play On Sunday

Ottawa Senators forward Tim Stutzle (lower body) is officially a game-time decision for Sunday's contest against Winnipeg, but he is expected to play, according to Ottawa Sun's Bruce Garrioch. Multiple reports have suggested that he's been nursing a knee problem. Stutzle has missed two games despite practicing with the team, but it appears that he […]

Trevor Story Out With Illness On Sunday

Boston Red Sox second baseman Trevor Story (illness) is not part of the team's starting lineup for Sunday's game against Jordan Montgomery and the New York Yankees. Jonathan Arauz is getting the start at second base and batting ninth in the game. Story is dealing with a non-COVID illness and it sounds like a minor […]

Blake Wheeler Remains Out On Sunday

Winnipeg Jets forward Blake Wheeler (upper body) will sit out a second consecutive game on Sunday against Ottawa. The Jets captain is also considered doubtful for Monday's contest versus Montreal. Wheeler has been Winnipeg's third-best scorer this season with 54 points in 57 games. Evgeny Svechnikov has replaced him in the top six and is […]

Oakland Athletics relief pitcher Lou Trivino came on to close out the team's victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday, securing the team's first win of the year. Trivino entered with a 4-0 lead, making the appearance a non-save situation. He allowed a solo home run to Phillies second baseman Jean Segura, but that was […]

Philipp Kurashev Links Up With Jonathan Toews And Patrick Kane

Chicago Blackhawks forward Philipp Kurashev will likely be pinching himself ahead of Sunday's game against Dallas because the 22-year-old will re-enter the lineup on the top line, with Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane as his running mates. Kurashev has been scratched for the last two games and he's featured just twice in the past six […]

Martin Necas Moves Back Into Top Six

Carolina Hurricanes forward Martin Necas will be back on the second line Sunday against Anaheim. The 23-year-old is a wonderful talent who can fill spots throughout the lineup but is now reunited with Vincent Trocheck and Teuvo Teravainen. The two have combined for 105 points this season and their presence should help Necas to rediscover […]

Skye Bolt Lands On Injured List With Oblique Strain

The Oakland Athletics placed outfielder Skye Bolt (oblique) on the 10-day injured list on Sunday due to a right oblique strain. Left-handed pitcher Adam Kolarek was called up from Triple-A to take his roster spot.

Jose Quijada Placed On Injured List

Los Angeles Angels relief pitcher Jose Quijada (oblique) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. This move is retroactive April 8, so hopefully Quijada won't miss significant time.

Patrick Wisdom Is Out Of The Lineup

Chicago Cubs third baseman Patrick Wisdom is not in the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. The former first round pick has been off to a slow start with one hit in his nine plate appearances this season. The Cubs will give him the day off to rest and recover. Jonathan […]

Yan Gomes Starts Behind The Plate On Sunday

Chicago Cubs catcher Yan Gomes will move into the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. The Cubs have decided to give Willson Contreras the day off. That is probably a smart move considering Contreras has one hit in his first nine plate appearances of the season. Gomes will be making his team […]

Luke Weaver Lands On Injured List

Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Luke Weaver (elbow) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. This move is retroactive to April 8, so it's unclear how long Weaver is going to be sidelined. He allowed one run in his lone appearance of the season. The former first round pick has not lived up to expectations throughout […]

Bradley Zimmer Activated On Sunday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Bradley Zimmer has been activated ahead of Sunday's game against the Texas Rangers. Zimmer was acquired by the Jays earlier in the week in a trade that sent right-hander Anthony Castro to the Cleveland Guardians.

Michael Brantley To Rest On Sunday

Houston Astros outfielder Michael Brantley (rest) is not listed in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Angels.

Bears Sign Matt Adams

The Chicago Bears signed free-agent linebacker Matt Adams to an undisclosed deal on Saturday.

Flowers was cut by the Seattle Seahawks after five games last season and then joined the Bengals for 11 games, primarily in a special teams role. The 26-year-old finished the season with a career-low 39 […]

Jose Altuve Resting On Sunday

Houston Astros infielder Jose Altuve (rest) will get the day off on Sunday against the Los Angeles Angels. Fantasy managers don't need to worry as this is a routine day off for the veteran infielder. Aledmys Diaz will cover second base and bat fifth versus lefty Jose Suarez. Normally, Diaz isn't much of a fantasy […]

Heliot Ramos Recalled, Starting On Sunday

San Francisco Giants outfielder Heliot Ramos has been recalled on Sunday. The 22-year-old outfielder will take the place of right-hander John Brebbia who has been placed on the bereavement list.

Andrew Chafin Throws Bullpen

Detroit Tigers relief pitcher Andrew Chafin (groin) threw a light bullpen session on Saturday in Lakeland, Florida, according to manager A.J. Hinch. The bullpen session was the best that Chafin has had this spring, even before his groin injury landed him on the 10-day injured list. "Trending in the right direction," Hinch said. It's unclear […]

Mason Thompson Placed On Injured List

The Washington Nationals placed right-hander Mason Thompson (biceps) on the 10-day injured list on Sunday with a right biceps strain and recalled reliever Hunter Harvey from Triple-A Rochester in a corresponding move.

Starling Marte Sitting Sunday Against Nationals

New York Mets outfielder Starling Marte is not in the starting lineup on Sunday as he gets a day to rest. In the first three games of the season, Marte has gotten off to a bit of a quiet start with his new team, going 3-for-14 with a double, four RBI and a strikeout. He […]
