Dinelson Lamet Heads To Injured List

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Dinelson Lamet (forearm) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. The 24-year-old has experienced a history of arm issues, so this is a bit concerning for fantasy managers.

New Orleans Pelicans guard Lonzo Ball is rumored to be on the Knicks' radar for the 2021-22 campaign.

Akil Baddoo Steals A Base And Scores Game-Winning Run

Detroit Tigers outfielder Akil Baddoo scored the game-winning run in the 10th inning of Sunday's game against the Houston Astros.

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) likely won't travel to Phoenix with his teammates.

Leonard suffered an ACL injury in his right knee during the previous […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Probable For Game 3

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) popped up on injury report ahead of Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
