Alex Bregman Getting The Day Off On Tuesday

Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman is getting the day off on Tuesday as the team faces Shohei Ohtani and the Los Angeles Angels. Aledmys Diaz is playing third base and hitting second in the game. It's just a routine day off for Bregman, who is off to a strong start to the year, slashing […]

Bruce Brown Available Versus Bulls

Brooklyn Nets guard Bruce Brown (face) is available for Tuesday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He is dealing with a facial contusion and it was unclear if he'd actually play on Tuesday. However, it sounds like he'll slide back into his normal role in the rotation. Sadly, Brown hasn't been very productive lately and can […]

Brandon Lowe Not In Starting Lineup Tuesday

Tampa Bay Rays second baseman Brandon Lowe is getting the night off for Tuesday's game against the Yankees. The absence likely has more to do with facing off against left-hander Jordan Montgomery, as Lowe has slashed worse in his career against lefties (.211/.281/.432) than against right-handed pitching (.265/.351/.512). Mike Brosseau will get the start at […]

Connor Hellebuyck Minds The Crease on Tuesday

Winnipeg Jets goalie Connor Hellebuyck will be between the pipes on Tuesday versus the Canucks. Hellebuyck sports a 22-17-3 record, a goals-against average of 2.66, and a .914 save percentage. Despite making the playoffs, Winnipeg has struggled big time in their last 10 last contests. The Michigan natives record shows that as he has only […]

Malcolm Brogdon, Edmond Sumner Out Against Sixers

Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon (hamstring) and Edmond Sumner (knee) will not suit up for Tuesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Brogdon continues to deal with a lingering hamstring issue, so it's uncertain when he'll get back on the court. Sumner attempted to play on Monday, but only lasted 13 minutes. Aaron Holiday and T.J. […]

Trevor Rogers Has Next Start Pushed Back To Thursday

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Trevor Rogers will make his next start on Thursday against the Arizona Diamondbacks, according to manager Don Mattingly. Rogers is being pushed back a day and the team will go with a bullpen day on Wednesday. Rogers is off to a fantastic start to the year, pitching to a 1.89 ERA […]

Jonas Valanciunas Likely Sitting Versus Dallas

Memphis Grizzlies center Jonas Valanciunas (back) is listed as doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. It sounds like he is dealing with back soreness, so fantasy managers should consider Valanciunas day-to-day right now. Jaren Jackson Jr. (knee) will join him on the sideline against Dallas. That means, Xavier Tillman and Brandon Clarke will […]

Chris Boucher Joins Starting Five Tuesday

Toronto Raptors center Chris Boucher (knee) will return to the rotation and join the starting five for Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He has been sidelined since late April, but it appears he's healthy enough to play. The Raptors are shorthanded, so Boucher should see all the minutes he can handle. There is […]

Devonte' Graham Is Available On Tuesday

Charlotte Hornets guard Devonte' Graham (knee) is available for Tuesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He has missed each of the last four games, but will suit up for this one. Sadly, Graham hasn't offered much in terms of fantasy production lately, so he'll be a risky option for Tuesday's slate. His return will mean […]

Dominic Smith Sitting Against Lefty On Tuesday

New York Mets outfielder Dominic Smith is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game as the team faces lefty John Means and the Baltimore Orioles. Kevin Pillar is getting the start in left for the game while Albert Almora Jr. is manning center field. The left-handed Smith has only one start against a lefty […]

Aaron Gordon, Monte Morris Returning On Tuesday

Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (calf) and guard Monte Morris (hamstring) are available for Tuesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Gordon sat out one game due to a bruised calf, but it sounds like he won't be limited at all in his return. However, Gordon has really struggled lately, so he'll be a risky DFS […]

Joey Wendle Sitting Out On Tuesday

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Joey Wendle is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against Jordan Montgomery and the New York Yankees. Kevin Padlo is getting the start at third base and batting sixth in the game. Wendle has been seeing near everyday playing time this year. He's off to a nice start to […]

Frederik Andersen Between The Pipes Against Ottawa

Toronto Maple Leaf's goalie Frederik Andersen is expected to start for the first time since mid-March on Wednesday. He has been out of Toronto's lineup due to a knee injury he sustained against the Flames on March 19th. Before his injury, the Danish netminder was 1-4-0 in five outings. Andersen is one of four goalies […]

Aaron Hicks Scratched From Tuesday's Lineup

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks (shin) is a late scratch from Tuesday's lineup with a right shin bruise. Brett Gardner is taking over in center field with Clint Frazier in left. Hicks first suffered the injury in Sunday's game. He should be considered day-to-day at this point with a chance to return to the […]

Yankees-Rays Game Fully Expected To Be Played

New York Yankees third base coach Phil Nevin has tested positive for COVID. As of now, he's the only confirmed COVID case for the team, including all coaches and players. This report is an update and clarification to a previous report that had stated that five Yankees coaches had tested positive for COVID. Nevin is […]

EPL DFS Lineup Picks for FanDuel (5/12/21) - English Premier League Soccer

Welcome back, RotoBallers! Like I mentioned earlier in the week, there are a handful of single-game slates this week for us to enjoy. This is a matchup of two of the Big 6 clubs, but it's not super meaningful at the late stage of the season. Either way, I will be breaking down that game […]

Ian Happ Slowly Progressing

Chicago Cubs manager David Ross said on Tuesday that things are going "a little slower than anticipated" for outfielder Ian Happ (ribs). Happ collided with teammate Nico Hoerner on May 4 and exited the ballgame. He has not seen action since and was shortly placed on the 10-day injured list following the collision. Ross did […]

Nico Hoerner Aiming To Return This Weekend

Chicago Cubs infielder Nico Hoerner (forearm) has been hitting and going through infield work with the hope to be activated from the 10-day injured list this weekend. Hoerner hurt his forearm when he collided with outfielder Ian Happ against the Cincinnati Reds on May 2. Hoerner initially finished that game, but was placed on the […]

Miguel Rojas (SS, MIA) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 37% of leagues ANALYSIS: Through 32 games this year, Miami Marlins shortstop Miguel Rojas is looking quite a lot like his 2020 self, a player who provided notable fantasy value through his .304 batting average and 12.6% strikeout rate. Rojas has slashed .283/.367/.451 so far this year. […]

Joel Farabee Buries Two Goals In Monday's Loss

Philadelphia Flyers forward Joel Farabee provided all the offense his team could muster up on Monday, potting both goals in a 4-2 loss to the New Jersey Devils.

Connor McDavid Adds Two More Points On Monday

Edmonton Oilers center Connor McDavid produced a goal and added a primary assist in his team's 4-3 defeat of the Montreal Canadiens on Monday.

Taylor Hall Scores Twice In Monday's Win

Boston Bruins forward Taylor Hall registered a pair of goals to help elevate his team to a 3-2 overtime victory over the New York Islanders on Monday night.

Fernando Tatis Jr., Jurickson Profar, Jorge Mateo Placed On IL

The San Diego Padres placed shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. and utilitymen Jurickson Profar and Jorge Mateo on the IL Tuesday due to health and safety protocols. The assumption is the move COVID-related, so fantasy managers should keep their fingers crossed this is precautionary. The timing is unfortunate as the team heads into Coors Field for […]

Willie Calhoun (OF, TEX) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 21% of leagues ANALYSIS: The fantasy community seemed to have completely written off Texas Rangers outfielder Willie Calhoun after an abysmal 2020 season where he slashed .190/.231/.260 with just one home run, 13 RBI and three runs over 29 games. That appears to have been a big mistake. […]

Five Yankees Coaches Test Positive For COVID

Five New York Yankees coaches have tested positive for COVID-19. According to Jon Heyman of the MLB Network, all five coaches have been fully vaccinated and most are asymptomatic. No players have tested positive at this point. There's speculation that Tuesday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays could be in jeopardy but there's been no […]

Tyler O'Neill (OF, STL) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 34% of leagues ANALYSIS: So far this year, St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill has been showcasing a power bat unlike we've yet to see from him in the Majors. He's hit five home runs and slugged .468 through 24 games. And it doesn't look like he'll […]

Brandon Nimmo May Return For Weekend Series Against Rays

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (finger), currently on the 10-day injured list with a left index finger contusion, may return to the team for their upcoming weekend series against Tampa Bay.
