The Detroit Tigers placed starting pitcher Jose Urena (forearm) on the 10-day injured list due to a right forearm strain on Saturday.

Denny Hamlin Expects To Rise In Field At Charlotte

Denny Hamlin probably thought he might be closer to the top five on Sunday but it was not meant to be. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver qualified 14th and many believe he will easily move into contention.

Ryan Blaney Should Have Some DFS Upside At Charlotte On Sunday

Ryan Blaney is among a group that could have some decent DFS upside on Sunday at Charlotte. Some expected him to qualify closer to the top five. However, he wound up just 11th. The Team Penske driver has three top tens and two top-fives in his career at Charlotte. While Blaney has zero wins at […]

Ross Chastain qualified tenth on Saturday from the Chip Ganassi Racing Team. Chastain is enjoying one of his best seasons as a pro with a top-five and two top-ten finishes.

Daniel Suarez Surprises On Saturday, Could He Again On Sunday?

Daniel Suarez created a little bit of buzz when he nabbed the ninth position in qualifying on Saturday from Charlotte. The Trackhouse Racing Team driver looked quite good in practice as well. The only question is can his Chevy have the endurance to thrive on the expected long runs. Charlotte can be one unforgiving 1.5-mile […]

Martin Truex Jr. Could Be Very Strong Again At Charlotte

If one driver can break up the Hendrick Motorsports Racing brigade, it may just be Martin Truex Jr. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver wound up qualifying in eighth place on Saturday but is nestled in a good position to inch up the field. The No. 19 has great results at Charlotte and has 11-2 odds […]

Alex Bowman Could Linger Around Top Ten At Charlotte

The last of the four Hendrick Motorsports Racing drivers, Alex Bowman, qualified seventh on Saturday. He finished ahead of Martin Truex Jr. which was a mild surprise. The No. 48 Chevy had a little trouble on turns 3 and 4 but not enough to knock him out of the top ten. How will Bowman adapt […]

Kevin Harvick Sneaks In With Fast Lap At Charlotte, Could Contend

Kevin Harvick turned a few heads with a sub-30 second lap in qualifying on Saturday. That gives him a fifth-place start for Sunday's Coca-Cola 600. The Stewart-Haas Racing driver may have some issues staying in the top five. However, expect the driver to be able to adapt as the runs get longer on Sunday night. […]

William Byron Should Battle Up Front All Evening At Charlotte

William Byron finished third among the Hendrick Motorsports Racing drivers and fourth overall in Saturday qualifying. He finished just 0.001 seconds behind Chase Elliott. There was one tiny bobble in turn four that probably kept Byron from snaring the pole. He was one of five drivers that turned in a lap of under 30 seconds. […]

Chase Elliott Goes For Back To Back Wins At Charlotte

After winning the rain-shortened road race in Texas, Elliott qualifies in third for the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver looked to have that confidence back after it had been gone for so long. The No. 9 Chevy inched out fellow teammate William Byron and was just behind Ricky Stenhouse […]

Kyle Larson Takes Pole, Favorite To Win At Charlotte

Kyle Larson looked great in practice and then put his stamp on qualifying as he took the pole for the Coca-Cola 600 Sunday. Larson has three top-four finishes on 1.5-mile tracks this season and metrics-wise has ranked among the highest since 2018. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver is a slight favorite at 5 to 1 […]

Mitchell Robinson Remains Without Return Date

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (foot) remains without a timetable for his return. The big man sustained a broken fifth metatarsal in his right foot back in March, an injury that required surgery. Mitchell also dealt with a broken hand throughout the season, so Thibs may play it safe by holding him out for […]

Serge Ibaka Uncertain For Game 4

Los Angeles Clippers forward Serge Ibaka (back) may not play on Sunday against the Mavericks. The veteran is labeled as day-to-day, and he was scratched from Friday's Game 3 win in Dallas. Ibaka missed time toward the end of the regular season with the same issue, so it wouldn't be a surprise if he doesn't […]

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Day-To-Day

Los Angeles Lakers guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (knee) is considered day-to-day and may not play on Sunday against the Suns. The sharpshooter suffered a left knee bruise during the Game 3 win over Phoenix, but after an MRI showed no structural damage, there is still a chance he may be in uniform for Game 4. However, […]

Donte DiVincenzo Done For The Year

Milwaukee Bucks guard Donte DiVincenzo (foot) is done for the year. The 24-year-old injured a tendon in his left foot during the Game 3 rout over the Heat, opening the door for Bryn Forbes to rack up 11 points, three boards, and a steal throughout 20 minutes of work. Forbes will likely start on Saturday […]

Tobias Harris Expected To Play On Saturday

Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (ankle) is expected to play on Saturday against the Wizards. The veteran injured his left ankle during the Game 2 win but was able to practice on Friday. Harris is averaging 28 points throughout the first two games of the postseason and should remain on the DFS radar, although he […]

Anthony Davis Dealing With Knee Ailment

Los Angeles Lakers forward Anthony Davis (knee) is considered day-to-day, putting his Game 4 availability against Phoenix in jeopardy. Davis suffered a hyperextended left knee during the win over the Suns on Thursday. However, with the Lakers looking to make some moves toward the next round, it would be surprising if the big man wasn't […]

Jeff Green To Sit Again On Sunday

Brooklyn Nets forward Jeff Green (foot) won't play in Game 4 against Boston. The veteran strained his plantar fascia in his left foot and is due to be re-evaluated after 10 days. In the meantime, expect Blake Griffin and Nicolas Claxton to split most of the work at the four spot. Both men combined for […]

Robert Williams III Remains Day-To-Day

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (toe) is considered day-to-day, making his status uncertain for the Game 4 matchup against Brooklyn. The big man logged just six minutes on Friday during the win over the Nets and continues to be bothered by turf toe sustained toward the end of the regular season. Tristan Thompson, who […]

Russell Westbrook Remains A Game-Time Call

Washington Wizards guard Russell Westbrook (ankle) is a game-time call for Saturday's matchup against the Wizards. The triple-double king didn't practice on Friday after spraining his right ankle in Game 2, so he has a legit shot at not being in uniform against Washington. If he is out, expect Ish Smith to take over things […]

Seth Curry Likely To Play Against Wizards

Philadelphia 76ers guard Seth Curry (ankle) will likely be in uniform on Saturday against the Wizards. Curry sustained a left ankle sprain during Game 2 on Wednesday, but it appears as if he will be good to go. The 30-year-old is averaging 12 points throughout the first two games of the postseason. However, he has […]

PJ Dozier To Miss Game 4

Denver Nuggets guard PJ Dozier (hip) will remain out ahead of Saturday's postseason matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers. This isn't a surprise, as Dozier's availability for the remainder of the playoffs is still a mystery. In his stead, Austin Rivers and Facundo Campazzo should continue to start, with Monte Morris likely receiving an equal […]

Trevor Larnach Collects RBI Single

Minnesota Twins outfielder Trevor Larnach delivered an RBI single in Friday's 8-3 loss to the Kansas City Royals Friday. Larnach stepped up to the plate in the bottom of the seventh inning as a pinch hitter and delivered an RBI single with the bases loaded. The 24-year-old has recorded four hits in as many contests, […]

Will Barton Out Again On Saturday

Denver Nuggets forward Will Barton (hamstring) won't play during the Game 4 clash against Portland. The veteran hasn't been available for over a month while dealing with a strained right hamstring, and while he was rumored to be available at some point during the series, things aren't looking promising. The Nuggets may continue to play […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Probable For Game 4

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (groin) is probable for Saturday's matchup against Miami. The Freak is currently dealing with left groin soreness, an ailment that could limit his fantasy effectiveness, primarily if Milwaukee goes up big as it did during the previous two contests. Fantasy managers should await an official confirmation regarding his status against […]

Mitch Garver Goes Yard

Minnesota Twins catcher Mitch Garver went 1-for-3 with a home run and a walk in Friday's loss to the Kansas City Royals. Garver's home run was a no-doubter, traveling 424 feet at an exit velocity of 109.8 MPH. The veteran backstop is on fire at the dish lately, as he's riding a seven-game hitting streak […]
