Kenta Maeda Pushed Back Until Saturday

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Kenta Maeda will have his start pushed back a few days. The veteran righty will take the ball against the New York Yankees on Saturday instead of pitching Thursday. The 33-year-old was solid last time out, but has been disappointing throughout most of the 2021 season. It's tough to imagine that […]

Kyle Gibson Posts Quality Start Versus Diamondbacks On Tuesday

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Kyle Gibson allowed three runs on seven hits to take the loss versus the Diamondbacks on Tuesday. Gibson started out hot with the Phillies but has now lost back-to-back starts versus NL West opponents. On the season, he's got a solid 3.18 ERA, his 4.31 xFIP and 4.60 SIERA, however, implies […]

Yonathan Daza Lands On The Injured List

Colorado Rockies outfielder Yonathan Daza (hand) was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday. Pitcher Chi Chi Gonzalez was activated in a corresponding move. The severity of Daza's hand injury is unknown at this time, and he will miss at least the next 10 days. The 27-year-old was activated from the COVID-19 list two weeks […]

George Springer Diagnosed With Grade 1 Sprain

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (knee) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. The 31-year-old outfielder signed a massive extension with the organization over the offseason, but has played in a total of 49 games this season. That good news is, Springer suffered a Grade 1 left knee sprain. That is the […]

Tommy La Stella Hits Two-Run Home Run Tuesday

San Francisco Giants second/third baseman Tommy La Stella went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a strikeout in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Mets. La Stella got things going for the Giants, crushing a first-inning Marcus Stroman offering into the Mets' bullpen for his second HR of the season. The 32-year-old is now slashing […]

Shane Lowry Looks To Continue Quality Run

March was a long time ago, five months ago to be exact. That was the last time Shane Lowry was cut from a golf tournament on the PGA Tour. Lowry has made 12 straight cuts in that time, highlighted by back-to-back top-six finishes in late May/early June at the PGA Championship and the Memorial. Lowry […]

Abraham Ancer Looking To Stay Hot At Liberty National

Coming off a win in his last time out at the WGC FedEx-St. Jude, Abraham Ancer looks to stay hot at The Northern Trust. In his only career start at Liberty National in the 2019 Northern Trust, Ancer finished in solo second. A reason for that, Ancer is an elite iron player. Ancer is 26th […]

Evan Longoria Collects Three Hits, Homers Tuesday

San Francisco Giants third baseman Evan Longoria had a big day at the plate in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Mets. Longo went 3-for-3 with two singles and a solo home run. The seventh-inning blast was his 10th HR of the season and his first since returning from the injured list. The 35-year-old has had […]

Patrick Reed Looks To Defend Title at Liberty National

Patrick Reed didn't win the 2020 Northern Trust, but he did win the 2019 version of the event, which was held at Liberty National. So, Reed will look to defend the Liberty National title this week. Reed has been playing steady, consistent golf since the middle of June, but the finishes won't jump off the […]

Francisco Lindor Faces Live Pitching Tuesday

New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor (oblique) faced live pitching on Tuesday. He reportedly could be activated from the injured list next week. The former Cleveland Guardian has been sidelined since mid-July with a Grade 2 oblique strain. Lindor will continue to participate in baseball activities and could begin a rehab assignment soon. The 27-year-old […]

Chris Ellis Designated For Assignment, Ryan Yarbrough Reinstated

Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Chris Ellis was designated for assignment on Wednesday. Right-hander Ryan Yarbrough was reinstated from the COVID-19 injured list in a corresponding move. Ellis was impressive in his debut by shutting down the Orioles over four innings to pick up his first career win on Wednesday. Despite the terrific performance, the 28-year-old […]

Luke Weaver Set For Rehab Start Friday

Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Luke Weaver (shoulder) will make a second rehab start Friday for Triple-A Reno. He's been sidelined since mid-May with a right rotator cuff strain. The 27-year-old is expected to throw 70 pitches on Friday. Weaver owns a 4.50 ERA, 1.20 WHIP, and 38 strikeouts over 40 innings in 2021. Fantasy managers in […]

Welcome back to the NL-only and AL-only pickups column.

I'll also include a recommendation for what to do with each […]

Minnesota Twins Byron Buxton (finger) will participate in live batting practice at the Twins' Triple-A affiliate in St. Paul on Thursday. He's been sidelined since June 21 with a boxer's fracture in his left hand. The 27-year-old could begin a rehab assignment if everything checks out after his live batting practice session.

Jonah Heim Records Two Hits In Loss

Texas Rangers catcher Jonah Heim has been red-hot versus the Seattle Mariners this season. He already has two walkoff home runs versus them, but sadly that didn't happen on Tuesday. Heim went 2-for-4 with a pair of singles in the 3-1 loss to Seattle. This season, Heim is slashing .208/.245/.372 with eight home runs and […]

Andy Ibanez Hits Solo Shot Versus Mariners

Texas Rangers second baseman Andy Ibanez has not been a reliable option with the bat this season. However, he was able to provide some help during Tuesday's contest. Ibanez went 2-for-3 with a solo home run off lefty Tyler Anderson in the third inning. That would put the Rangers on the board, but sadly that […]

Keegan Thompson Could Join Cubs Rotation Soon

Chicago Cubs pitcher Keegan Thompson could be joining the team's starting rotation as soon as this weekend. Cubs manager David Ross told reporters that Thompson could start Saturday's game against the Kansas City Royals. Thompson threw 62 pitches in his last start at Triple-A Iowa, where he has been stretching out his workload with the […]

Taylor Hearn Posts Respectable Outing On Tuesday

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Taylor Hearn made the most of his opportunity to start versus the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday. He went five innings, five hits allowed, two earned runs, and two strikeouts in the 3-1 loss. The only damage Hearn allowed in the contest were two sacrifice flies. Sadly, the Rangers were unable to […]

Nick Mariano's 2021 Draft Sleepers List (Premium Content)

All other Premium Tools can be accessed on the premium dashboard. Sleeper remains a buzzy term shrouded in ambiguity, but there's no doubting its place in our fantasy lexicon. I do think that everyone that uses it then needs to define what it means within the context of the article, and a "sleeper" to a […]

Bradley Zimmer Sitting On Wednesday

Cleveland Indians outfielder Bradley Zimmer is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Lewis Thorpe and the Minnesota Twins. Franmil Reyes is making a rare start in right field for the game and batting cleanup. Zimmer has been productive at the plate so far this month. Over 14 games in August, Zimmer is […]

Logan Webb Earns Another Win Tuesday

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Logan Webb turned in another great start in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Mets. Webb pitched 7 1/3 innings, allowing two runs on seven hits (including a two-run home run) and a walk with eight strikeouts. The 24-year-old started off the season slow but has been fantastic since and now […]

Ian Anderson Pitches Well In Rehab Outing

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Ian Anderson (shoulder) looked sharp during his rehab outing with Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday. He went 4 1/3 innings, four hits allowed, zero earned runs, one walk, and four strikeouts. It was his third rehab outing, so it sounds like Anderson is on the verge of returning to the Braves rotation. […]

Sammis Reyes In Concussion Protocol

Washington Football Team tight end Sammis Reyes (concussion) will not participate in the team's preseason game on Friday against the Cincinnati Bengals. The 25-year-old will miss some valuable time to earn the backup tight end role to starter Logan Thomas, so the sooner he is back the better chance he has of cracking the roster. […]

Jason Heyward Heading To The Bench On Wednesday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Jason Heyward is getting the day off on Wednesday as the team faces Tyler Mahle and the Cincinnati Reds. Michael Hermosillo is getting the start in right field and batting sixth in the game. Heyward was activated from the injured list on Sunday and he went on to start the team's next […]

Nick Mariano's 2021 PPR Sleepers List (Premium Content)

All other Premium Tools can be accessed on the premium dashboard. The term "Sleeper" is thrown around more haphazardly than a Mitchell Trubisky out route, but there's no doubting its place in our fantasy lexicon. I do think that everyone that uses it then needs to define what it means within the context of the […]

Patrick Wisdom Not In Wednesday's Lineup

Chicago Cubs third baseman Patrick Wisdom is absent from the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Tyler Mahle and the Cincinnati Reds. Matt Duffy is manning third base in the game and hitting cleanup. Wisdom has really struggled at the plate so far in August. Over 15 games this month, he's slashing .200/.241/.345 with two […]

Kyle Farmer Getting The Day Off On Wednesday

Cincinnati Reds shortstop Kyle Farmer is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Adrian Sampson and the Chicago Cubs. Jose Barrero is getting the start at shortstop and batting seventh in the game. Farmer has been cooling off a bit lately after a scorching month of July. Farmer slashed .395/.456/.691 with five home […]

Adbert Alzolay Tosses Light Bullpen Session On Wednesday

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Adbert Alzolay (hamstring) threw a light bullpen session on Wednesday, according to Cubs beat writer Meghan Montemurro. Cubs manager David Ross hasn't ruled out the possibility that Alzolay will only need the minimum amount of time on the injured list. Alzolay suffered a left hamstring strain in his last start on […]
