Maxi Kleber Probable Once Again

Dallas Mavericks forward Maxi Kleber (Achilles) is probable for the Game 5 matchup against the Clippers. No surprise here, primarily since the big man has been a constant presence on the injury report because of the same issue for a while now. Kleber didn't score a point across 32 minutes in Game 4, so DFS […]

Jean Carlos Mejia To Start Wednesday

Cleveland Indians relief pitcher Jean Carlos Mejia will start Wednesday afternoon's game against the Chicago White Sox. The Indians were scheduled to start Eli Morgan in this one, but perhaps they decided otherwise after he allowed six earned runs across just 2 2/3 innings pitched in his debut against the Toronto Blue Jays Friday night. […]

Serge Ibaka Likely Out Again On Wednesday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Serge Ibaka (back) is doubtful for Wednesday's matchup against the Mavericks. Ibaka continues to deal with a nagging back issue, and he hasn't been available for the team's previous two contests.

Jose Ramirez goes 2-for-4 Tuesday

Cleveland Indians third baseman Jose Ramirez went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 6-5 win over the Chicago White Sox.

Luka Doncic Probable Against Clippers

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (neck) is probable for Wednesday night's contest against the Clippers. Doncic has been bothered by a cervical strain, an ailment he has been dealing with since Game 3 after he reportedly had pain radiating down his left arm. The 22-year-old still managed to suit up for Game 4 but wasn't […]

Russell Westbrook Will Play On Wednesday Night

Washington Wizards guard Russell Westbrook (ankle) will play on Wednesday night against the 76ers. The former MVP has been dealing with a nagging right ankle sprain since Game 2 of the series but has continued to suit up.

Michael Pineda Hit Hard In Loss To Orioles

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Michael Pineda struggled in Tuesday's loss to the Baltimore Orioles. Pineda lasted just three innings, allowing five runs on seven hits with one strikeout against no walks. The veteran right-hander shut down this same Orioles' lineup last week but wasn't fooling any hitters with only five whiffs and an average exit […]

Chicago Cubs infielder Patrick Wisdom continued his scorching-hot start to season with a 2-for-4 performance on Tuesday versus the San Diego Padres.

Davis Bertans Out 4-6 Weeks

Washington Wizards forward Davis Bertans (calf) will be out for four to six weeks. Bertans suffered a Grade 2 right calf strain during Monday's win over the 76ers and likely won't be available for the remainder of the year, assuming the Wizards don't advance deeper into the postseason. Without him, Rui Hachimura and Robin Lopez, […]

Isan Diaz Gets A Hit On Tuesday

Miami Marlins infielder Isan Diaz hit a single in Tuesday's loss to the Toronto Blue Jays, ending up 1-for-4 with two strikeouts.

Miami Marlins rookie second baseman/shortstop Jazz Chisholm (ankle) returned to the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays.

Tyler Glasnow Strikes Out Eight In Quality Start Tuesday

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow allowed three runs on four hits and two walks while striking out eight over seven innings against the Yankees on Tuesday night.

Sandy Alcantara Takes The Loss On Tuesday

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Sandy Alcantara took the loss on Tuesday, dropping his record to 2-5. He tossed six innings, allowing four runs on nine hits without issuing a walk while striking out four.

Detroit Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera (groin) exited Tuesday's contest early due to tightness in his left groin, according to Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press.

Joel Embiid Unlikely To Play In Game 5

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) is doubtful for Game 5 against Washington. Embiid injured his right knee late in the first quarter of Monday's loss to the Wizards and has been battling soreness ever since. If he is out, Dwight Howard and Mike Scott could see more minutes, although both are risky DFS options. […]
