Charlie Morton Tosses Quality Start Versus Marlins

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Charlie Morton continued his solid season during Saturday's game against the Miami Marlins.

Despite that, Morton looked sharp and showed he is […]

Jonah Heim Comes In Clutch On Saturday

Texas Rangers catcher Jonah Heim is looking like prime Babe Ruth at the plate these days. On Saturday, Heim went 2-for-3 with a go-ahead two-run home run and a double in the 8-6 win over the Oakland Athletics. Heim already has a few clutch hits off the Seattle Mariners this season. He apparently does his […]

Jorge Alfaro Leaves Early Saturday

Miami Marlins catcher Jorge Alfaro exited Saturday's game against the Atlanta Braves in the ninth inning after aggravating something on the base paths. It's unclear what exactly occurred, but it likely has to do with his left leg or knee. Alfaro is hardly fantasy relevant at this point, as he's hitting .240 with just four […]

Joe Barlow Collects Fifth Save On Saturday

Texas Rangers relief pitcher Joe Barlow was able to notch his fifth save of the season during Saturday's game against the Oakland Athletics. The Rangers' bats came alive late, which gave Barlow a chance to shut the door in the ninth. He threw a scoreless inning and helped secure the 8-6 win. The 25-year-old is […]

Wes Benjamin Horrendous In Spot Start

Texas Rangers pitcher Wes Benjamin received the spot start on Saturday versus the Oakland Athletics. Lefty Kolby Allard (illness) was scratched before the game, so Benjamin was given a chance.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Sam Hilliard (elbow) got hit by a pitch in his elbow during Saturday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies.

Bradley Beal Could Become A Trade Option Once Again

Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal currently remains off the trade market. Still, that could change at some point throughout the year, primarily with the nine-year veteran entering the final season of his current contract. Washington would certainly love to keep Beal on the roster moving ahead. Nonetheless, if signs point toward him walking away next […]

Dennis Gardeck Placed On Injured Reserve

The Arizona Cardinals placed linebacker Dennis Gardeck (hand) on Injured Reserve on Saturday. Gardeck was activated from the Physically Unable to Perform list after the team's preseason finale late last month, but he continues to recover from a torn ACL that he suffered in 2020.

Ameer Abdullah, Sean Mannion Added To Active Roster

The Minnesota Vikings added running back Ameer Abdullah and quarterback Sean Mannion to the active roster from the practice squad for Week 1 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Before the move, Dalvin Cook and Alexander Mattison were the only two running backs on Minnesota's roster, so Abdullah will provide some extra depth at the position. The […]

Zach LaVine Could Be On Celtics Radar

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine has yet to agree on a contract extension with his current employer.

Taylor Decker Placed On Injured Reserve

The Detroit Lions placed star left tackle Taylor Decker (finger) on Injured Reserve on Saturday after he had finger surgery, according to a source. Decker should be back in around a month, but this is no doubt a big loss for Detroit's offensive line and for new quarterback Jared Goff. Matt Nelson will likely start […]

Joey Slye Promoted To Active Roster

The Houston Texans have promoted kicker Joey Slye to the active roster. Slye was cut by the Panthers recently, but the Texans lost kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn (groin) earlier in the week to the Injured Reserve list with a groin injury. Slye is a career 79.4% kicker, but is unlikely to help managers much with the […]

St. Louis Cardinals shortstop Edmundo Sosa (wrist) was not in the starting lineup for the third straight game on Saturday as he continues to deal with a left wrist injury, according to Katie Woo of The Athletic.

Pablo Lopez Could Be Limited Upon Return

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Pablo Lopez (right rotator cuff strain) might not have a full workload if he returns from the injured list this season. "I hate to put a timetable on it, but I don't think we're necessarily trying to get him back to the point where we think he's going to make two […]

Jo Adell Moved up In Batting Order

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jo Adell has been moved up in the batting order for Saturday's game against the Houston Astros. Adell has three home runs and eight RBI over the last five games.

AJ Pollock Has 'Good Day' Of Rehab Work

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder A.J. Pollock (hamstring) had a "good day" while rehabbing on Saturday, according to manager Dave Roberts.
