Anthony Kay Strikes Out Eight In Win

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Anthony Kay recorded his first win of the season on Thursday, tossing five shutout innings in the club's 9-0 win over the Orioles.

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Nick Castellanos turned in a big game in a 5-3 win over the Atlanta Braves on Thursday.

Andre Fili Hoping For A Win In 30th Professional Bout

The last handful of bouts for Andre Fili (21-8) have flip-flopped wins and losses. Not really able to string a series of wins together, Fili has scored 12 finishes out of his 21 career wins when he does pull off the victory. Making his 30th professional MMA appearance, DraftKings sees Touchy as the favorite with […]

Nick Senzel Plays Catch On Thursday

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Nick Senzel (knee) was able to play catch before Thursday's game against the Atlanta Braves. He has been out since the end of May due to a knee issue. Senzel was recently transferred to the 60-day injured list, which means he likely won't return until after the All-Star break. It's uncertain how […]

John Means To Return After All-Star Break

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher John Means (shoulder) is expected to return after the All-Star break, according to manager Brandon Hyde. Recently, Means has been playing catch at the Orioles spring training complex. He has been sidelined since the beginning of June due to a shoulder strain. Means was pitching fantastic for the Orioles before going […]

Steven Matz Nearing Return

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Steven Matz has cleared COVID-19 protocols and has rejoined the organization. He is still currently on the injured list, but should be back on the active roster soon. Matz is expected to throw 60 pitches with Triple-A Buffalo on Thursday. The hope is that Matz will be able to rejoin […]

Justin Steele Set To Begin Rehab Assignment

Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Justin Steele (hamstring) is heading to Triple-A to begin a rehab assignment. He has been sidelined since late May due to a right hamstring strain. However, Steele was an excellent bullpen option for the Cubs before going down. He posted a 2.03 ERA, 21/7 K/BB ratio and 1.05 WHIP over 13 […]

Corey Seager Should Return In Early July

Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Corey Seager (hand) is hopefully going to get back on the field by early July, according to manager Dave Roberts. It sounds like Seager is doing well, but the team doesn't want to rush anything. Seager is likely going to start a rehab assignment this weekend and hopefully return before the […]

Tim Means Looks To Lock Up Third Straight Victory

The Dirty Bird Tim Means (31-12-1) looks to have found his stride once again, coming into Saturday's main-card bout on a two-fight winning streak. Stepping into the professional MMA cage for his 44th bout, 19 of his 31 career wins have come by knockout/TKO. DraftKings sees the veteran as the favorite against Nicolas Dalby, who […]

Harrison Bader To Begin Rehab Assignment Soon

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Harrison Bader (rib) will begin a rehab assignment soon. Manager Mike Schildt mentioned that Bader has resumed baseball activities and is playing outfield in extended spring training. He has been sidelined since May 25 because of a fracture in his rib cage. Fantasy managers should expect Bader to miss at least […]

Nicolas Dalby Looking For Third Straight Win

Nicolas Dalby (19-3-1) has made good on his second stint in the UFC, as he's currently 2-0. Not opposed to taking his opponent to the limit, just over half (10) of his 19 career wins have come by finish. Hoping his second stint will be the one that keeps him in the UFC, he will […]

Joe Smith To Throw Bullpen Session Friday

Houston Astros relief pitcher Joe Smith (elbow) will throw a bullpen session on Friday. It sounds like Smith will use his whole arsenal at the session in Detroit. The hope is that things go well and Smith can be activated shortly after the session. However, he might be asked to go on a rehab assignment, […]

Zach Plesac Will Throw On Thursday

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Zach Plesac (thumb) will throw a 40-pitch bullpen session on Thursday. It was reported earlier in the week he might throw around Thursday or Friday, so it appears he's on schedule. Plesac has missed around a month due to a thumb fracture. It's likely that Plesac begins a rehab assignment shortly […]

Scott Alexander Pitching In Triple-A On Thursday

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Scott Alexander (shoulder) will pitch for Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday. This is an advancement for Alexander after he was pitching in Low-A while rehabbing his shoulder. The move to Triple-A means Alexander is getting closer to a return. He is not eligible to return from the 60-day injured list […]

Giancarlo Stanton Collects Three Hits

New York Yankees designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton went 3-for-5 with an RBI in Thursday's win over the Kansas City Royals.

The New York Mets have purchased the contract of pitcher Vance Worley from Kane County of the Independent League. He has not pitched in the MLB since the 2017 season. Worley posted a 4.01 ERA in five starts with Kane County this season. It sounds like Worley is going to head to Triple-A and serve […]

New York Yankees first baseman Luke Voit clubbed his third home run of the season in Thursday's 8-1 defeat of the Kansas City Royals.

St. Louis Cardinals second baseman Tommy Edman is being dropped to sixth in the batting order on Thursday against Pittsburgh Pirates right-hander Chad Kuhl. Center fielder Dylan Carlson will move up to the leadoff spot as a result. The switch-hitting Edman recently returned from a minor abdominal injury, but it hasn't really slowed him down […]

Chicago Cubs outfielder Ian Happ will be on the bench for his third straight contest on Thursday versus the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Patrick Wisdom Rests On Thursday

Chicago Cubs infielder Patrick Wisdom will rest on Thursday versus the Los Angeles Dodgers. Wisdom started his season on May 25 and came out of the gate on fire, but he has gone of late with five hits over his last 30 at-bats. For the season, Wisdom is hitting .284 with 10 home runs and […]

Mitch Garver To Ramp Up Baseball Activities

Minnesota Twins catcher Mitch Garver (groin) will begin to ramp up his baseball activities, per Dan Hayes of The Athletic. Garver was able to take the field Monday and play catch after being sidelined since June 1 with a groin strain. The veteran backstop will likely incorporate some jogging, more throwing, and moving around a […]

Michael Brantley Hitting Well Since His Return

Houston Astros outfielder Michael Brantley is slashing .509/.565/.727 (28-for-55) with nine extra-base hits and 15 RBI in 14 games since he returned from the injured list from his hamstring injury. Brantley's .356 average leads all of baseball right now. The 34-year-old veteran only has four home runs, but he's never been much of a power […]

Ryan Jeffers Not In Thursday's Lineup

Minnesota Twins catcher Ryan Jeffers is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Cleveland Indians. Jeffers has undoubtedly been the team's starting backstop since Mitch Garver (groin) was sidelined, starting 14 games to Benjamin Rortvedt's four. Jeffers has been quite effective thanks to a mechanical change in the minors, posting a .905 OPS […]

Mark Canha Dealing With Left Hip Strain

Oakland Athletics outfielder Mark Canha (hip) left Thursday's win against the Rangers with an apparent injury. He was 0-for-2 before being replaced by Tony Kemp. Canha is scheduled to have an MRI on Friday, according to MLB.com's Justice delos Santos. This is bad timing for Canha who was having an excellent 2021 campaign as his […]
