Ramon Urias Plates Two Friday, Stays Hot

Baltimore Orioles second baseman/shortstop Ramon Urias continued to produce at the plate in Friday's 6-1 win over the Nationals, going 1-for-4 with a single, two RBI, and a strikeout. The 27-year-old has done a nice job at the plate this season, slashing .285/.350/.415 with four home runs and 20 RBI. However, he doesn't hit for […]

Pat Valaika Hits Two Homers Friday

Baltimore Orioles second baseman/shortstop Pat Valaika went yard twice in Friday's 6-1 win over the Nationals, going 2-for-3 with a solo home run in the fifth inning and another solo HR in the seventh. Valaika has now hit three HR in the last two games. Despite that, he still carries a disappointing .196/.257/.298 slash line […]

Alejo Lopez Recalled From Louisville

Cincinnati Reds infielder Alejo Lopez was recalled from Triple-A Louisville on Friday. Lopez played sparingly for the big club this season but fared relatively well, compiling five hits and three runs throughout 17 at-bats. Although the 25-year-old isn't expected to see consistent playing time, he is someone to keep an eye on moving ahead, primarily […]

Alex Cobb Exits Friday’s Game Against Twins

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Alex Cobb exited Friday's matchup against the Twins. It's unknown why he left, although he was escorted off the mound with a trainer before starting the sixth inning. The 33-year-old has been an effective fantasy option, currently owning a 7-3 record along with a 3.96 ERA and 80 strikeouts. More […]

Jeff McNeil Likely Out On Saturday

New York Mets infielder Jeff McNeil (leg) is unlikely to start on Saturday against the Blue Jays. He wasn't available on Friday either as he continues to deal with left leg muscle fatigue. Although he is technically not injured, skipper Luis Rojas indicated that the team would take a cautious approach before allowing him to […]

Gary Sanchez Leaves Game With Back Spasms

New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez (back) exited Friday's matchup against the Boston Red Sox. The veteran had the plug pulled in the sixth inning because of back spasms, an unfortunate development considering how well he has played lately, smacking three dingers throughout the last seven games. Sanchez was replaced behind the dish by Rob […]

Robert Stock Transferred To 60-Day Injured List

New York Mets relief pitcher Robert Stock (hamstring) was transferred to the 60-day injured list on Friday. The right-handed veteran recently landed on the 10-day version only a few days ago because of a hamstring strain. However, with the Metropolitans' recent acquisition of Rich Hill, a spot on the roster had to be opened up. […]

Brad Wieck Transferred To 60-Day Injured List

Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Brad Wieck (illness) was transferred to the 60-day injured list on Friday. The 29-year-old southpaw is currently dealing with an irregular heartbeat, an ailment he was also plagued with last season. During his brief appearances on the bump for the Cubs this season, he has been a reliable bullpen option, logging […]

Nick Anderson Sent For Rehab Assignment

Tampa Bay Rays relief pitcher Nick Anderson (elbow) was sent to the FCL on Friday to begin his rehab assignment. It's unknown how long the 31-year-old righty will be at the complex. However, it's still positive news after he has missed the entire season so far because of a partially torn UCL. Anderson finished the […]

Chris Mazza Heading Back To Durham

Tampa Bay Rays relief pitcher Chris Mazza is heading back to Durham. Mazza's most recent big-league stint didn't last long as he just got the call to report on Wednesday. The 31-year-old has a 6.60 ERA throughout eight games this season, which isn't good by any means. Nonetheless, he doesn't have any fantasy value, so […]

LPL & LCK DFS Picks (7/24/21) - DraftKings and FanDuel League of Legends Daily Fantasy

Welcome back summoners, to another LOL breakdown article featuring FIVE matchups tomorrow from the LPL (super weekend!) and LCK.

I feel comfortable fading at least one of matches tomorrow, perhaps even two series, […]

Brooks Kriske Demoted On Friday

New York Yankees relief pitcher Brooks Kriske was sent packing back to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday. The demotion isn't a surprise, especially after his horrendous performance on Thursday against the Boston Red Sox. The 27-year-old is currently sitting on a 10.80 ERA throughout seven big league appearances this year, so he can be dropped in all […]

Evan Longoria Making Progress

San Francisco Giants third baseman Evan Longoria (shoulder) has begun hitting progression and other baseball activities. The veteran has been on the 60-day injured list because of a left shoulder sprain, which is unfortunate considering he was batting .280 before going down with the injury. Longoria is eligible to return sometime in August, so fantasy […]

Patrick Mahomes Expected To Have No Restrictions

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes believes that he will have no restrictions with his left foot when training camp starts. Mahomes underwent toe surgery after the season and recently shed his walking boot. Mahomes hasn't had a setback since then and it's a great sign for the signal caller looking ahead to this season. […]

Sammy Long Felt Good After Recent Pen Session

San Francisco Giants pitcher Sammy Long (back) felt good after throwing another bullpen session on Thursday, logging 30 pitches in total. The lefty has been out since the start of July because of a back strain, so it seems like things are moving in the right direction. However, the 26-year-old has struggled this year, posting […]

Jaylin Davis Heading To Triple-A

San Francisco Giants outfielder Jaylin Davis (hamstring) will report to Triple-A over the weekend to begin his rehab assignment. Davis has been out for a few weeks because of a Grade 1 hamstring strain, so it appears as if he is very close to possibly making it back to the big club. Davis also battled […]

Aaron Sanchez Makes Another Rehab Start

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Aaron Sanchez (biceps) took a beating during his latest rehab start for Triple-A Sacramento. The 29-year-old logged just over five innings of service against Tacoma, allowing five runs off of eight hits while striking out four batters. Although things obviously could have gone better, the righty is moving in the […]

Ben Roethlisberger Mostly A Spectator At Camp On Friday

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger did not participate in most team periods during Friday's practice, with Dwayne Haskins instead getting additional reps. Head coach Mike Tomlin told reporters that he is trying to get more playing time for guys who he expects to be involved in the Hall of Fame Game against the Dallas Cowboys […]

Eduardo Rodriguez Leaves Friday’s Contest

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez exited Friday's contest against the New York Yankees. The lefty lasted only one inning before his premature exit. However, it's unknown exactly what he is dealing with, so fantasy managers may have to wait for an explanation. He was subsequently replaced by Phillips Valdez, with more information on […]

Josh Reynolds In Line To Be No. 3 Receiver

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Josh Reynolds is in line to be the team's No. 3 receiver behind A.J. Brown and Julio Jones in his first year in Tennessee. Any of Reynolds, Brown or Jones could work out of the slot at any given time. Rookie Dez Fitzpatrick, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Cameron Batson are the top […]

Brendan Rodgers Scratched On Friday

Colorado Rockies second baseman Brendan Rodgers was scratched from Friday's lineup for an undisclosed reason. Rodgers was in the original lineup, slated to bat second against left-hander David Price, but was replaced in the batting order by Josh Fuentes about three hours before the first pitch. Ryan McMahon has shifted over to second base, Fuentes […]

A.J. Brown Will Be Ready For Training Camp

Tennessee Titans wide receiver A.J. Brown (knees), who missed organized team activities and minicamp this spring while working his way back from postseason surgery on both knees, will be a full-go when the team starts training camp next Wednesday. When not on the field this spring, Brown continued his conditioning and watched loads of film. […]

Coyotes Snag Three Veterans, Including Antoine Roussel

The Arizona Coyotes freed themselves of a long-term contract anchor on Friday when they parted ways with veteran defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson along with young forward Conor Garland in exchange for three veteran players, as well as first-round, second-round and seventh-round draft picks. The veterans heading to Arizona are Antoine Roussel, Jay Beagle and Loui Eriksson. […]

Conor Garland Headed To Vancouver In Deal

Forward Conor Garland is on the way from the Arizona Coyotes to the Vancouver Canucks as part of a multi-player deal announced on Friday. The deal also saw defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson head north of the border. Garland, 25, is a breakout candidate as he moves to a team with a little more offensive power. In […]

Canucks Snag Oliver Ekman-Larsson In Trade

The Vancouver Canucks acquired veteran Oliver Ekman-Larsson in a multi-player trade on Friday. The 30-year-old veteran has played 11 years in the NHL — all with the Phoenix/Arizona organization up until now. Known for having some offensive abilities, Ekman-Larsson has surpassed the 40-point mark five times in his career. Last season, he scored three goals […]

Max Kranick Optioned Back To The Minors

The Pittsburgh Pirates optioned right-hander Max Kranick to Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday and activated right-hander Luis Oviedo (quadriceps) from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Kranick was solid in his major league debut on June 27 in five shutout innings against the St. Louis Cardinals, but he's come back down to Earth in […]

Hirokazu Sawamura Lands On Injured List Friday

The Boston Red Sox placed right-hander Hirokazu Sawamura (triceps) on the 10-day injured list on Friday with right triceps inflammation and recalled right-hander Phillips Valdez from Triple-A Worcester in a corresponding move. Sawamura has been a solid piece for the Red Sox bullpen with his 2.87 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 44/18 K/BB in 37 2/3 […]

Chris Owings Undergoes Surgery On His Thumb

Colorado Rockies infielder Chris Owings (thumb) underwent surgery to fix mallet finger on his left thumb on Friday, according to interim manager Mike Redmond, but the team doesn't have a timetable for his return. There's a good chance we won't see Owings on the field again at the major league level this season. The 29-year-old […]
