Chris Godwin Limited Tuesday With Quad Injury

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (quad) was a limited participant at Tuesday's practice.

Williams spent most of training camp and preseason on the sidelines with a hip flexor injury. Head coach Brandon Staley said that Williams is on track to play in Week 1, giving […]

Antonio Gibson In For Large Workload Week 1?

Washington Football Team running back Antonio Gibson should be getting a large workload in Week 1 against the Los Angeles Chargers, in what should be a low-scoring affair between two stout defenses. The Chargers allowed the 15th-most rushing yards per game in 2020, so Gibson has a fairly promising outlook for this matchup. Washington's elite […]

Terry McLaurin Faces Tough Matchup In Week 1

Washington Football Team wide receiver Terry McLaurin will have his work cut out for him in a Week 1 matchup with the Los Angeles Chargers. The return of Derwin James gives the Chargers a huge boost to their secondary after they allowed the ninth-fewest passing yards per game in 2020. McLaurin will likely draw the […]

Jonathan Arauz Homers Again Monday

Boston Red Sox infielder Jonathan Arauz hit his third home run of the season Monday, going 1-for-5 with two runs scored in an 11-10 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays. Arauz has gotten plenty of playing time filling in for Kike Hernandez and Xander Bogaerts while they've been out with COVID, but he stands to […]

Chris Sale Victimized By Bad Defense

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Chris Sale only lasted 3 2/3 innings Monday, allowing five runs (one earned) on 10 hits and one walk. He struck out six batters. The Boston defense made three errors in this game, contributing to a high pitch count and abbreviated outing for Sale. Fantasy managers can disregard this outing, […]

Logan Thomas In For Tough Matchup Week 1

Washington Football Team tight end Logan Thomas has a tough matchup in Week 1 as he goes up against the Los Angeles Chargers. The Chargers have a stout defense that allowed the ninth-fewest passing yards per game last season, and that was without Derwin James. The return of their elite safety could mean that Thomas […]

Kyle Finnegan Earns Two-Inning Relief Win

Washington Nationals relief pitcher Kyle Finnegan earned the win in relief Monday, throwing the eighth and ninth innings in a 4-3 victory over the New York Mets. He allowed one hit and one walk while striking out two batters. He now has five wins on the season, and has allowed a grand total of four […]

Patrick Corbin Scatters 11 Hits Across Seven Innings

Abraham Toro Drives In Two Monday

Seattle Mariners infielder Abraham Toro drove in two runs Monday against his former team, the Houston Astros, going 2-for-3 with a double and a walk. Toro has been outstanding in his 37 games in Seattle, slashing .314/.394/.457 in 140 at-bats. He's batting fifth in the lineup on an everyday basis, and he has the ability […]

Yusei Kikuchi Knocked Out In Second Inning

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Yusei Kikuchi was knocked out in the second inning of Monday's game against the Houston Astros. He allowed six runs (four earned) on three hits and four walks in 1 2/3 innings. Kikuchi was the victim of some suspect defense, but it was his own lack of command that did him […]

Sam Darnold Poised For Revenge Against Jets

Carolina Panthers quarterback Sam Darnold gets a juicy matchup against his former team, the New York Jets, in Week 1 of the 2021 season. After spending the first three years of his career in a less-than-stellar environment in New York, Darnold will have the chance to show the Jets what could have been with improved […]

Antonio Gibson Sets Sights On 2,000 Scrimmage Yards

Washington Football Team running back Antonio Gibson has set some lofty goals to achieve in the 2021 season.

Los Angeles right-hander Jaime Barria (2-3) took the loss in Monday's 4-0 game against the Texas Rangers but still managed a quality start. He threw seven innings, allowing three runs, eight hits, and added three strikeouts to no walks. It's the second time in his eight starts this season that he's completed seven innings and […]

Jimmy Lambert To Start On Tuesday

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Jimmy Lambert will take the mound against the Oakland Athletics on Tuesday. He has not been reliable this season, so fantasy managers shouldn't use him as a streaming option. Lambert has allowed eight runs over eight innings this season. The White Sox rotation is banged up right now, so they […]

Yohel Pozo Continues Impressing

Texas Rangers catcher Yohel Pozo has been reliable with the bat since joining the big league roster. On Monday, he went 2-for-4 with two singles in the 4-0 victory over the Los Angeles Angels. The 24-year-old is slashing .264/.291/.340 in his 53 at-bats with the Rangers this season. He is a catcher by trade, but […]

Two More Hits For Kevin Pillar On Monday

New York Mets outfielder Kevin Pillar went 2-for-3 with a walk in the Mets 4-3 loss to the Nationals on Monday. Pillar, who has been starting in centerfield for Brandon Nimmo (hamstring) who is currently on the 10-day injured list, has been red hot at the plate. Over his past eight games, Pillar is a […]

Jose Trevino Puts Together Two-Hit Game

Texas Rangers catcher Jose Trevino finally found his groove at the plate during Monday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. He went 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI in the 4-0 victory. Despite his two-hit performance, Trevino is hitting .234/.262/.331 with the Rangers this season. He doesn't offer much upside with the bat and […]

Matt Bush To Resume Throwing Soon

Texas Rangers relief pitcher Matt Bush (elbow) is scheduled to begin throwing again soon. The veteran reliever has been sidelined since early April due to a flexor strain in his pitching arm. Bush has only thrown three innings for the Rangers this season and he struggled during those outings. Let's face facts, the Rangers aren't […]

A.J. Alexy Looks Outstanding Versus Angels

Texas Rangers starting pitcher A.J. Alexy made his second career start versus the Los Angeles Angels on Monday. He went six innings, one hit allowed, zero earned runs, two walks, and seven strikeouts in the 4-0 victory. Alexy has thrown 11 shutout innings since joining the Rangers rotation. He'll get a tough assignment next time […]

Dane Dunning Begins Throwing

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Dane Dunning was able to throw 23 pitches during a live batting practice on Monday. Dunning along with Mike Foltynewicz and Drew Anderson are working their way back after testing positive for COVID-19. It sounds like Dunning might be the closest to returning out of the trio. The hope is that […]

Buster Posey Hits 17th Homer Of Season Monday

San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey went 2-for-5 with a double, a solo home run, and two strikeouts in Monday's 10-5 win over the Rockies.

Francisco Lindor With Two More Hits On Monday

New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor went 2-for-5 with a double and a run scored in the Mets 4-3 loss to the Washington Nationals on Monday.
