Gleyber Torres To Miss Saturday's Game

Detroit Tigers second baseman Gleyber Torres (ribs) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

For now, fantasy managers should consider Torres as […]

Gio Urshela Heads To The Bench

Athletics third baseman Gio Urshela (rest) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Seattle Mariners. Urshela will get a rest day here after playing in the first two games of the season. He has gone 1-for-7 at the plate, so maybe a night off will help him get back on […]

Chet Holmgren Ruled Out On Saturday

Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center Chet Holmgren (hip) won't play on Saturday against the Pacers.
