Taylor Walls Has Three Hits In Win Sunday

Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Taylor Walls went 3-for-5 with two doubles and two RBI in a 7-1 win over the Rangers on Sunday.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Sam Haggerty (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day injured list on Monday, according to Ryan Divish of the Seattle Times. Haggerty was placed on the 10-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation on May 25, but apparently this issue is significant enough to keep him sidelined until at least the end of […]

Shed Long Jr. Reinstated From Injured List

Seattle Mariners second baseman Shed Long Jr. (shin) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list on Monday, according to Mark Feinsand of MLB.com. Long has been sidelined all season so far with a stress fracture in his shin, as he suffered an early blow in his attempt to bounce back from a rough 2020 campaign […]

Keston Hiura Optioned To Triple-A Nashville

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Keston Hiura was optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Monday, according to Will Sammon of The Athletic. It's been a rough year for Hiura, who was optioned to Triple-A early in May after opening the season with a .152/.247/.266 triple-slash line. It hasn't been any better since his return on May 24, as […]

Cody Poteet (SP, MIA) - Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 30% of leagues ANALYSIS: Cody Poteet has been largely unheralded since being drafted from UCLA, and while he's had his ups and downs throughout the Miami minors system, he looks mighty comfortable five starts into his rookie MLB campaign at the age of 26. Over the […]

Gary Sanchez Drives In A Pair Sunday

New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI, and a walk in Sunday's 6-5 loss to the Boston Red Sox.

BALLER MOVE: Add in Two-Catcher Leagues ROSTERED IN: 1% of leagues ANALYSIS: Ryan Jeffers is new to the prospect rankings, and his rise through the minor league ranks has landed him in the majors unusually soon for an ascending catcher.

Julio Jones To Tennessee - Fantasy Impact

Julio Jones is a member of the Tennessee Titans. Sunday's news that the Falcons and Titans had agreed on a deal to send Jones to Tennessee wasn't a huge surprise, as Julio trade rumors have swirled for a while. Still, now that it's happened, things have changed in the NFL, both in real life and […]

LaMonte Wade Jr. Hits Leadoff Homer Sunday

San Francisco Giants first baseman/outfielder LaMonte Wade Jr. had another nice day at the plate in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Cubs, going 1-for-3 with a solo home run, two walks, and two strikeouts.

NBA DFS Prop Picks for 6/7 - Monkey Knife Fight

Monday starts off right with Game 2 of Nets-Bucks and the first game of what should be the best series of the playoffs, Suns-Nuggets. Based on Game 1, Brooklyn looks to have things handled without James Harden, but Milwaukee hits a few shots and the game falls their way. Kevin Durant needs to be more […]

Dane Dunning Throws Five Scoreless Innings

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Dane Dunning looked sharp during Sunday's loss to the Tampa Bay Rays. He tossed five scoreless innings, three hits allowed, two walks, and six strikeouts.

Jakob Junis Optioned To Minors

Kansas City Royals pitcher Jakob Junis has been optioned to Triple-A to free up a roster spot for Jackson Kowar. This shouldn't surprise anyone with Junis posting a 5.19 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 35/11 K/BB ratio across 34 2/3 innings. He was already pulled out of the rotation, so Junis was the odd man out […]

Jackson Kowar To Make MLB Debut Monday
