New York Mets third baseman J.D. Davis will most likely not start his rehab assignment on Tuesday per Mets Manager Luis Rojas. Davis has a .390 batting average to go along with two home runs and seven RBI. He's played in just 14 games for the Mets while stepping to the plate 41 times. The […]

PJ Dozier Out On Tuesday As Expected

Denver Nuggets guard PJ Dozier (hip) is out for the Game 5 matchup against Portland. Dozier has been out since the beginning of May due to a strained right adductor, so his absence was more than expected. Without him, Facundo Campazzo, Austin Rivers, and Monte Morris should all continue to handle most of the work […]

Will Barton Out Again On Tuesday Evening

Denver Nuggets forward Will Barton (hamstring) is out for Game 5 against Portland. This isn't a surprise, primarily since the veteran hasn't played in over a month while tending to a strained right hamstring. He was observed riding the bike on the sidelines during the Game 4 loss to the Blazers, which is good news, […]

As always, […]

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Questionable On Tuesday

Los Angeles Lakers guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup with Phoenix. KCP injured his left knee in Game 3, and although he was trending in the right direction ahead of Game 4 on Sunday, he ultimately wasn't healthy enough to play. If the 28-year-old isn't in uniform for Game 5, veteran Wesley […]

Chris Paul Likely To Play Against Lakers

Phoenix Suns guard Chris Paul (shoulder) will likely play on Tuesday against the Lakers. The 36-year-old injured his right shoulder earlier in the series, and while there were rumblings he wouldn't be available for Game 4, he managed to play and finish with a team-high 18 points. With head coach Monty Williams allotting heavy minutes […]

Jusuf Nurkic Available For Game 5

Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic (thumb) is available for the Game 5 postseason matchup versus Denver. Nurkic popped up on the injury report with a left thumb bruise, although it is apparent the ailment isn't severe enough to keep him out. The 26-year-old is averaging a double-double throughout four playoff appearances this season, so […]

The 28-year-old suffered a left groin strain during the loss to Phoenix on Sunday, and […]

Robert Williams III Unlikely Available For Game 5

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (ankle) is doubtful for Tuesday's postseason showdown with the Nets. Williams sprained his left ankle in Game 3 after just six minutes of work and wasn't on the floor on Sunday during the loss to Brooklyn. Without him, Tristan Thompson should continue to see an increase in DFS popularity. […]

Lou Trivino Takes Extra-Innings Loss In Seattle

Oakland Athletics relief pitcher Lou Trivino allowed two unearned runs to take a loss in Seattle on Monday. Trivino was summoned in the bottom of the 10th inning to protect a one-run lead after closer Jake Diekman was used earlier in the game. The automatic runner on second base scored on the first batter Trivino […]

Kemba Walker Doubtful For Game 5

Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker (knee) is doubtful to play during the Game 5 matchup against the Brooklyn Nets. The veteran is currently dealing with a bruised left knee and wasn't in the lineup for the Game 4 loss as a result. Without Walker in the mix, Romeo Langford and Payton Pritchard should split minutes […]

Sean Murphy Doubles In A Run Monday

Oakland Athletics catcher Sean Murphy went 1-for-4 with an RBI double in a loss to the Mariners on Monday. Murphy has been a bit of a disappointment for fantasy as the sophomore catcher is batting just .214. This double was his first extra-base hit in 10 days as his slugging percentage has dipped all the […]

Hunter Renfroe Hits Seventh Homer Monday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Hunter Renfroe went deep yet again Monday, going 2-for-3 with a home run, a double, and two runs scored out of the ninth spot in the lineup. Renfroe has been playing every day and making the most of that time, slashing an astonishing .435/.480/.913 over his last seven games. Renfroe has […]

Matt Chapman Strikes Out Three More Times

Oakland Athletics third baseman Matt Chapman went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in a loss to the Mariners on Monday. Chapman has just three hits in his last 35 at-bats as his batting average has plummeted to .203 on the season. He's striking out way too much as his K-rate is a staggering 32 percent; this […]

James Kaprielian Hit Hard By Mariners On Monday

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher James Kaprielian allowed four runs in 3 2/3 innings in a Memorial Day loss to the Mariners. Seattle used five hits and three walks to chase Kaprielian in the fourth inning after the right-hander threw seven shutout innings against these Mariners last week. Through four starts, the 27-year-old has a 2.95 […]

Eduardo Rodriguez Lit Up Monday

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez was no match for the Houston Astros lineup Monday, giving up six runs on seven hits and two walks in 4 2/3 innings. He struck out four and was saddled with his fourth loss, dropping his record to 5-4. Rodriguez now has a 5.64 ERA for the year, […]

Andrew Vaughn Sat With Allergies On Monday

Chicago White Sox manager Tony La Russa said that first baseman/outfielder Andrew Vaughn sat both games of Monday's doubleheader versus the Cleveland Indians with allergies and a headache. It was a mystery as to why Vaughn wasn't in the lineup for either game and now we know why. Vaughn is hitting .226 on the season […]

Jarred Kelenic Hitless Again, Steals Base

Seattle Mariners outfielder Jarred Kelenic did not manage a hit Monday, going 0-for-3, but he did reach base twice via walk and also stole a base, his third of the year. Kelenic has been struggling at the plate lately, with no hits in his last six games and just two hits in his last 27 […]

Davis Bertans Done For Remainder Of Game 4

Washington Wizards forward Davis Bertans (calf) was ruled out for the remainder of the Game 4 matchup against Philly. Bertans suffered a right calf strain midway through the third quarter, and considering that he's had issues with it this season, it wouldn't be shocking for him to miss Game 5 on Wednesday night (if necessary).

Donovan Walton Hits First Career Home Run

Seattle Mariners utility man Donovan Walton hit his first career home run Monday, a three-run shot off Oakland starter James Kaprielian in the bottom of the fourth inning. Walton has played all over the diamond over the last several weeks, filling in for various injured starters. His playing time stands to diminish going forward, and […]
