Rhys Hoskins Back In The Lineup On Tuesday

Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Rhys Hoskins (groin) is back in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against Patrick Corbin and the Washington Nationals.

Twins Release Matt Shoemaker

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Matt Shoemaker was released from the club. Shoemaker was a low-risk signing this past offseason, though it certainly didn't work out the way the Twins or potential fantasy investors hoped, as he recorded a career-worst 8.03 ERA and 1.66 WHIP in 60 1/3 innings. The veteran righty did rebound to pitch […]

Trey Mancini Getting The Day Off On Tuesday

Baltimore Orioles first baseman Trey Mancini is getting the day off on Tuesday as the team faces Nestor Cortes and the New York Yankees.

Boston Red Sox closer Matt Barnes was placed on the COVID-19 injured list on Tuesday. While he hasn't tested positive for COVID-19, he has been battling symptoms of a non-COVID-related illness.

Eloy Jimenez Returns To Lineup On Tuesday

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez (groin) will return to the lineup on Tuesday to face the Kansas City Royals.

After a rough start to camp, Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Phillip Dorsett II seems to have gotten back on track.

CFL DFS Primer for DraftKings : Strategy and Roster Construction

The CFL season is upon us Rotoballers and I am thrilled that it is back even if it is for a shortened 14-game season. The CFL is a fun and exciting sport to both watch and play from a DFS standpoint and there are plenty of different ways that you could go about roster construction […]

Robert Tonyan "Unstoppable" In Practice

Green Bay Packers tight end Robert Tonyan's connection with quarterback Aaron Rodgers in practice on Tuesday was described as "unstoppable" by those in attendance. Tonyan enjoyed a breakout campaign last season, catching 52 passes for 586 yards while tying for league lead among tight ends in touchdowns with 11. It may only be a week […]

Randall Cobb Making Plays In Camp

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb is back with his old team and already is making plays in camp. The veteran receiver has made plays over the middle consistently during practice and was seen wide open down the field but failed to connect with backup quarterback Jordan Love. Cobb's numbers dipped in almost every […]

Laviska Shenault Jr. To Be Jaguars Go-To Receiver?

Jacksonville Jaguars ascending second-year wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. could well be Trevor Lawrence's go-to option in 2021 based on his performance in training camp. Brian Sexton of Jaguars.com had this to say about Shenault following Monday's practice — "he looks so smooth and comfortable that I can't help but think he might be the […]

Adam Eaton Hitting .244 With Angels

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Adam Eaton's offensive struggles continue to persist heading into the team's matchup against the Rangers on Tuesday. The gritty veteran is enduring an abysmal offensive season, slashing .209/.290/.333 through 234 at-bats. Eaton was let go by the White Sox mid-season and the Angels have been hoping to catch lightning in a […]

Kyle Tucker Slugging .593 In Second Half

Houston Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker will look to stay hot in the second half heading into the team's series opener against the Dodgers Tuesday night. In 15 games since the All-Star break, Tucker is slashing .288/.323/.593 with eight extra-base hits and 15 runs batted in. The 24-year-old now has seven doubles and seven home runs […]

Ryan Pressly Hits Rough Patch

Houston Astros closer Ryan Pressly has hit his first real speed bump of the season heading into the team's series opener against the Dodgers Tuesday night. Pressly has been fantastic this season but is currently in a rough stretch on the mound. To be fair, none of these appearances have been save chances but Pressly […]

Jordan Montgomery Tests Positive For COVID-19

New York Yankees starting pitcher Jordan Montgomery has tested positive for COVID-19, per Kristie Ackert of the New York Daily News.

General manager Brian Cashman said he expects Montgomery and Cole to […]

Jake Odorizzi Trending In Wrong Direction

Houston Astros starter Jake Odorizzi (4-5) will take the mound Wednesday against the Dodgers. The 31-year-old enjoyed a surprisingly efficient month of June, posting a 0.77 WHIP and a 2.45 ERA spanning five appearances, four of them starts. But the right-handed starter has gone in a different direction since, allowing 10 runs over his last […]

Luis Gil Starting Tuesday For Yankees

New York Yankees pitching prospect Luis Gil is slated to start Tuesday's game against the Orioles. Manager Aaron Boone initially said that Nestor Cortes Jr. would start Tuesday night's game in place of Gerrit Cole, who tested positive for the virus- though it will be Gil, the fourth-ranked prospect in the organization.

Zack Greinke Pitching To More Contact

Houston Astros starter Zack Greinke is enjoying a solid season heading into the team's series against the Dodgers.

Matt Strahm To Be Activated On Tuesday

San Diego Padres reliever Matt Strahm (knee) is expected to be activated from the IL before Tuesday's tilt with the Oakland Athletics. After undergoing offseason knee surgery, the left-hander had fanned seven over 3 ⅔ frames in a rehab assignment at Triple-A.

Mason Rudolph Will Start HOF Game

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin revealed on Tuesday that Mason Rudolph will be the team's starting quarterback in the Hall of Fame Game against the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday. It sounds as though Dwayne Haskins will finish the first half with Joshua Dobbs finishing the game. Not surprisingly, quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will not take […]

Jorge Alfaro Starting In Left Field For Some Reason

Miami Marlins catcher Jorge Alfaro will be the starting left fielder for Tuesday's game against the New York Mets. Alfaro is certainly athletic enough to handle a corner outfield spot, but with a .222/.269/.319 batting line, it's unclear why the team is trying so hard to get his bat into the lineup. The Marlins will […]

Carmelo Anthony Signing With Lakers

The Los Angeles Lakers have agreed to a one-year deal with veteran free agent Carmelo Anthony. Anthony joining up with his friend LeBron James shouldn't be a surprise, but it'll be interesting to see how the Lakers deploy Anthony. They also signed Malik Monk on Tuesday, and while the two play different positions, they overlap […]

Malik Monk Signing With Lakers

The Los Angeles Lakers have agreed to a deal with free agent guard Malik Monk. It's been a busy offseason for the Lakers, who've signed a lot of depth pieces. Monk might be the signing with the best chance to make a fantasy impact this season though, as he's coming off a season in which […]

Andre Drummond Agrees To Deal With Sixers

Free agent center Andre Drummond has agreed to a one-year deal with the Philadelphia 76ers. Philly is obviously a bad landing spot for Drummond when it comes to fantasy, as he'll be relegated to a reserve role behind Joel Embiid. Drummond has led the NBA in rebounding four times and averaged 12.0 per game last […]
