Taylor Rogers Sharp In Long Relief

Minnesota Twins relief pitcher Taylor Rogers notched his third hold of the season and was excellent in Wednesday's outing. Rogers worked 2 1/3 innings, allowing just two hits and no runs or walks while fanning three batters. The southpaw still has yet to allow an earned run this season- and while he's had a couple […]

Mike Trout Goes Yard In Loss

Los Angeles Angels center fielder Mike Trout went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in the team's 7-4 loss to the Rangers on Wednesday. Trout smacked the first of four solo home runs for the Angels and the All-World outfielder now has six home runs and 12 runs batted in on the season. Trout is […]

Jose Urquidy Gets Knocked Around In Loss

Houston Astros starter Jose Urquidy allowed four runs in five innings pitched as the Astros were defeated by the Rockies 6-3 on Wednesday. Urquidy (0-2) could not survive Coors Field, allowing all four runs in the first two innings. Urquidy has alternated a solid performance with a rough one through his first four starts and […]

Alex Colome Takes Tough Loss Wednesday

Minnesota Twins relief pitcher Alex Colome had a disastrous outing in Wednesday's tough 13-12 loss to Oakland. Colome came on in the ninth with a chance to lock down a save- but blew it after hitting a batter, allowing a single, and then surrendering a sacrifice fly to tie the game at 10. He got […]

Alex Bregman Collects Two Hits

Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman went 2-for-3 with one run scored in the Astros 6-3 loss to the Rockies. This is Bregman's second game back from being activated off the COVID list and looked like he hadn't missed a beat. The 27-year-old was off to a solid start before being placed into MLB's health […]

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins Set To Return On Wednesday

Edmonton Oilers forward Ryan Nugent-Hopkins is expected to be in the lineup as his team takes on the Montreal Canadiens on Wednesday. Nugent-Hopkins, who was dealing with an upper-body injury, missed the Oilers previous three contests due to the ailment. The 28-year-old should rejoin Connor McDavid on Edmonton's top line and should be immediately re-inserted […]

Yuli Gurriel Smacks Two-Run Homer

Houston Astros first baseman Yuli Gurriel supplied most of the team's offense on Wednesday, driving in three runs as the Astros 6-3 fell to the Rockies 6-3. Gurriel smoked a two-run home run in the second inning for his second round-tripper of the season and added a third RBI with a ground out in the […]

Kenta Maeda Roughed Up By Athletics

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Kenta Maeda endured a rough outing in Wednesday's 13-12 loss to the Athletics. Maeda lasted just three innings, allowing seven runs on eight hits with just one strikeout. The veteran hurler served up three home runs, including two in one inning, in one of the worst outings of his career. While […]

Yonathan Daza Goes Yard In Win Over Houston

Colorado Rockies center fielder Yonathan Daza went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two strikeouts in a 6-3 win over the Astros on Wednesday. Daza hit his first big league home run off Astros' starter Jose Urquidy in the second inning. Sam Hilliard's struggles at the plate have opened up more playing time for […]

Cam Talbot Starts Versus Arizona On Wednesday

Minnesota Wild goaltender Cam Talbot will make his 26th start of the campaign as his team faces off against the Arizona Coyotes on Wednesday night. The 33-year-old is coming off a victory against the Yotes on Monday in which he turned aside 22 of 24 shots against. Talbot has been a sneaky valuable fantasy netminder […]

Jacob Trouba Listed As Day-To-Day With Injury

New York Rangers defenseman Jacob Trouba will miss his team's clash with the Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday due to an upper-body injury. The 27-year-old sustained the injury in Tuesday's loss to the Islanders, only skating 3:18 of ice time in the contest. It's been a trying year for Trouba in the Big Apple in 2020-2021 […]

Conor Garland Out For Coyotes On Wednesday

Arizona Coyotes forward Conor Garland will be sidelined with an undisclosed injury as his team hosts the Minnesota Wild on Wednesday. The 25-year-old suffered the injury in his team's practice on Tuesday and was forced to depart the ice early as a result. Despite putting together a solid season in 2020-2021 with 32 points (10 […]

Garrett Hampson Doubles And Swipes A Bag

Colorado Rockies' second baseman Garrett Hampson went 2-for-4 with a double, a stolen base, and two runs scored in a 6-3 win over the Astros on Wednesday. Hampson hit his fourth double of the season, scored a pair of runs, and swiped his fifth bag of the year. He started at second base for the […]

Deni Avdija Suffers Injury On Wednesday

Washington Wizards forward Deni Avdija (leg) was forced to exit early during Wednesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. He came down awkwardly on his right foot and appeared to be in a lot of pain. Avdija was wheelchaired off the court, so fantasy managers should expect him to miss some time. Davis Bertans would […]

Jayson Tatum Could Sit Versus Suns

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Phoenix Suns. It's the front end of a back-to-back set, so it wouldn't be surprising to see the Celtics hold out a few key players. Grant Williams and Semi Ojeleye would see additional playing time, assuming Tatum is out. Neither […]

Paul George, Reggie Jackson Out On Wednesday

Los Angeles Clippers guard Reggie Jackson (rest) and forward Paul George (rest) have been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. It appears the Clippers are going to give most of their starters the night off in the second game of the back-to-back set. Luke Kennard, Marcus Morris, and Terance Mann should all […]

Justin Upton Leaves Game With Cramps

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Justin Upton (cramps) was removed from Wednesday's game in the ninth inning. Upton was looked at by the team trainer, who determined that he was experiencing cramps. The veteran outfielder was replaced in the game by Jose Rojas. It doesn't appear to be anything that will cause Upton to miss game […]

Kevin Porter Jr. Sitting Out On Wednesday

Houston Rockets guard Kevin Porter Jr. has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. He will be sidelined here due to the league's health and safety protocols. The loss of Porter will be significant to the Rockets rotation. John Wall and Jae'sean Tate will be asked to pick up the slack offensively. […]

Terrence Ross, James Ennis III Questionable Thursday

Orlando Magic guards Terrence Ross (back) and James Ennis III (calf) are listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Both players have been dealing with minor injuries lately and the team isn't in a rush to bring either of them back to the court. R.J. Hampton and Gary Harris should see […]

Richaun Holmes Remains Sidelined On Wednesday

Sacramento Kings center Richaun Holmes (hamstring) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. This marks the fifth straight game that Holmes has been sidelined due to injury. It's uncertain when he'll get back on the court since the Kings have not given much of a timetable. Hassan Whiteside has become a […]

Donovan Solano Likely Headed For Injured List

San Francisco Giants second baseman Donovan Solano (calf) is expected to be placed on the injured list. Solano strained his right calf while running from second to third base during the sixth inning of Wednesday's game. The 2020 Silver Slugger award winner will be forced to miss time, presumably the 10-day injured list, meaning second […]

Tyler Herro Will Play Versus Spurs

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (foot) will be available for Wednesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. He missed Monday's contest due to right foot soreness. However, it sounds like he'll be ready for this one and shouldn't be limited. Herro's return will cut into the playing time for Goran Dragic and Kendrick Nunn.

Dinelson Lamet Exits First Start With Forearm Tightness

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Dinelson Lamet (forearm) had to leave his start on Wednesday after just 29 pitches. Lamet, who had just returned from the injured list, was making his season debut but had to leave the game in the bottom of the second inning to be examined by the trainer. The team announced […]

Randy Arozarena, Manuel Margot, Mike Zunino Sitting Wednesday

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Randy Arozarena, outfielder Manuel Margot, and catcher Mike Zunino are all taking a seat on Wednesday. All three players are getting routine days off. Kevin Kiermaier will get the start in center, with Brett Phillips in right field. Francisco Mejia will be behind the plate.

Mickey Moniak Launches First Career Homer Wednesday

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Mickey Moniak went 1-for-3 with a three-run homer for his first career round-tripper. Moniak displayed impressive opposite-field power, blasting an Anthony DeSclafani offering into the left-field seats. Moniak isn't a fantasy option in redraft leagues at the moment as Philadelphia called up Scott Kingery from the alternate site and will surely give […]

Austin Gomber Earns First Win Of The Year

Colorado Rockies left-hander Austin Gomber earned his first win of the season on Wednesday when he allowed two runs on two hits with a pair of walks and six strikeouts over six innings in a 6-3 win over the Astros. He limited the Houston offense to just two hits but one of them was a […]

Brad Miller Has Four-Hits With Two Runs Wednesday

Philadelphia Phillies second baseman Brad Miller went 4-for-5 with two runs scored in his first start since Jean Segura (quad) landed on the injured list. Miller certainly made his case to continue starting at the keystone despite the fact Philadelphia called up super-utilityman Scott Kingery from the alternate site. Kingery is a former top-prospect who […]

Andrew McCutchen Reaches Twice, Steals Base Versus Giants

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Andrew McCutchen went 1-for-4 with a walk and a stolen base in a win over the Giants on Wednesday. McCutchen also struck out twice which has been a bit of an issue for him in the early going and helps explain his anemic .164 batting average. The good news is McCutchen is […]

Zach Eflin Overcomes Rain Delay To Post Strong Start

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Zach Eflin pitched six innings of one-run ball with three strikeouts despite having his start interrupted by rain in the third inning. Eflin was visibly displeased at the timing of the delay, but bounced back to complete four more innings, needing only 86 pitches on the afternoon. The Phillies' bullpen couldn't […]
