Kris Dunn Out For Game 1

Chad Pinder Launches Third Homer On Saturday

Oakland Athletics outfielder Chad Pinder went 2-for-5 with a homer and two runs scored in a win over the Rockies on Saturday. Pinder was moved up to second in the batting order and had a nice game in Coors Field, but he's not a name fantasy managers should have much interest in. Pinder is batting […]

De’Andre Hunter Questionable Against Philly

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (knee) is questionable to play for the series opener against Philadelphia. Hunter dealt with right knee soreness throughout the first-round matchup against the Knicks but still was able to log 30 minutes while averaging 10.8 points and four rebounds per contest. Although he isn't the most reliable option on the […]

Matt Olson Launches 15th Homer Saturday In Colorado

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Connor Brogdon pitched a clean ninth inning with two strikeouts to earn his first save of the season Saturday against the Nationals.
