Anthony Davis Injured During Game 4

Los Angeles Lakers forward Anthony Davis (groin) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's matchup against Phoenix. Davis came down hard early on in the contest, and after questions arose as to the exact nature of the injury, team officials confirmed that it is a left groin strain. This isn't good news, primarily […]

Mike Zunino Slugs A Home Run On Sunday

Tampa Bay Devil Rays catcher Mike Zunino went 2-for-3 on Sunday as his club defeated Philadelphia 6-2. One of two Zunino's hits included a two-run homer. Zunino has went yard on 12 separate occasions this year. The 30-year-old provides a powerful bat for fantasy managers who have him rostered despite a .212 batting average. He […]

Alex Reyes Gets His 15th Save On Saturday

St. Louis Cardinals closer Alex Reyes secured his 15th save of the season in Saturday's win over the Arizona Diamondbacks. Tasked with protecting a 7-4 lead, Reyes did just that, pitching a scoreless ninth inning while striking out two and allowing a hit and a walk. Reyes is sporting a pristine 0.64 ERA, but there […]

Sergio Alcantara Recalled By The Cubs

Chicago Cubs infielder Sergio Alcantara has been recalled from Triple-A Iowa. The Cubs selected his contract as a corresponding move after placing David Bote on the injured list with a shoulder dislocation. The 24-year-old has put up some solid numbers in the minors thus far. He's slashing .328/.481/.459 with two home runs, six RBI, and […]

David Bote Officially Placed On The IL

Chicago Cubs second baseman David Bote has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a dislocated left shoulder. He suffered the injury during Saturday's game vs. the Reds while sliding into second base. Shoulder issues can be tricky so we should expect Bote to be out longer than the minimum 10 days. He's slashing […]

Tyson Miller Designated For Assignment

Chicago Cubs right-handed pitcher Tyson Miller was designated for assignment on Sunday. Chicago had to make room on the 40 man roster as the club added shortstop Sergio Alcantara and placed third baseman David Bote on the 10-day injured list with a separated left shoulder. Miller has yet to throw in the big leagues this […]

Manuel Margot (OF, TBR) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 31% of leagues ANALYSIS: Manuel Margot has never quite lived up to his prospect hype from back in the day, but he's become a useful outfielder all the same. And while his .247 batting average doesn't move the needle much even in the current environment, he's contributed enough […]

Mike Montgomery Plans To Opt Out Of Contract

New York Yankees left-hander Mike Montgomery is planning to opt out of his contract with the team on June 1, according to Robert Murray of Fansided. Murray added that he believes Montgomery is looking for a major-league opportunity as he's spent the entire 2021 season in the minors. He's posted a disappointing 7.56 ERA, 1.68 […]

Zach Eflin Labors In Start At Rays

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Zach Eflin couldn't escape the fifth inning in a loss at the Rays on Sunday. Eflin had five strikeouts, but allowed four runs on six hits and a walk while taking his fifth loss of the season. It was another frustrating start for fantasy managers as Eflin has pitched better than […]

Kodi Whitley Placed on Cardinals Injured List

St. Louis Cardinals placed right-handed pitcher Kodi Whitley on the 10-day injured list Sunday. Whitley is now on the injured list due to mild back spasms. The 26-year-old last made an appearance on Monday. In 2021, Whitley carries a 6.10 ERA in 10 1/3 innings pitched. He fanned eight batters and has posted a 1.35 […]

Mike Yastrzemski Getting A Day Off On Sunday

San Francisco Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski is not in the lineup for Sunday's game vs. the Los Angeles Dodgers. Left-hander Clayton Kershaw is on the bump for the Dodgers so that could have something to do with Yaz getting the day off. Mike Tauchman is starting in right field in his place with Austin Slater […]

Luis Garcia (SP, HOU) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 41% of leagues ANALYSIS: Luis Garcia's rostered rate has doubled over the weekend, but he remains free to add in nearly six of ten Yahoo leagues.

David Peralta Getting The Day Off On Sunday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder David Peralta is getting the day off on Sunday vs. the St. Louis Cardinals. This appears to just be a routine day of rest for the veteran outfielder.

James Kaprielian (SP, OAK) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 36% of leagues ANALYSIS: A former first-round pick back in 2015, James Kaprielian pitched fewer than 30 innings in his first four years as a prospect due to elbow and shoulder problems.

Caleb Baragar Heads To The IL With Elbow Inflammation

San Francisco Giants left-hander Caleb Baragar has been placed on the 10-day injured list with left elbow inflammation. Reliever Nick Tropeano has been recalled from Triple-A Sacramento in a corresponding move. Barager has done a solid job working middle relief for the Giants this season. He's got a 2-1 record, 0.52 ERA, 1.38 WHIP, and […]

Jordan Romano Locks Down Third Save

Toronto Blue Jays reliever Jordan Romano worked a clean seventh inning in Sunday's first game of a doubleheader, collecting his third save in the 4-1 win. He worked around a one-out single from Josh Naylor, but was otherwise effective collecting a strikeout, groundout, and a pop out to finish off the Tribe. Romano appears to […]

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez stayed hot by launching his eighth homer of the season in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Indians on Sunday. The slugger went 1-for-4 in the first game of the doubleheader, taking starter Aaron Civale deep in the fourth inning for his third homer over the last week. Hernandez's hot […]

Justin Turner Not In The Lineup On Sunday

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner is out of the lineup on Sunday vs. the San Francisco Giants. Zach McKinstry is starting at third base and batting seventh against Kevin Gausman. This was just a scheduled day off for the veteran. Turner has picked up seven hits in his last five games after collecting […]

Ross Stripling Earns First Win

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Ross Stripling fired five innings of one-run ball as his club went on to beat the Indians 4-1 in Sunday's first game of a doubleheader.

Yankees Seeking Second Opinion On Corey Kluber's Shoulder

New York Yankees starting pitcher Corey Kluber (shoulder) had a dye-contrast MRI performed in the hopes of getting a second opinion on his shoulder injury. Kluber was diagnosed with a right shoulder strain last week and won't be able to throw for four weeks, though the Yankees- likely thinking of last season's season-ending shoulder injury- […]

Mookie Betts Scratched On Sunday Due To Allergies

Los Angeles Dodgers' outfielder Mookie Betts is a late scratch on Sunday due to allergies, per manager Dave Roberts. Betts didn't start Saturday's game either in order to "recalibrate." Perhaps another day off, even if it's due to allergies, could be good for the struggling outfielder. He's been dealing with a sore shoulder this week […]

Chris Paul Upgraded To Available

Phoenix Suns guard Chris Paul (shoulder) is available for Sunday's matchup against the Lakers. Paul continues to deal with a lingering right shoulder issue sustained in Game 1 of the series. Although he will be on the floor, he will likely be limited to some degree, which will cause the Los Angeles defense to pay […]

Luke Voit Expected To Miss At Least A Few Weeks

New York Yankees first baseman Luke Voit (oblique) is expected to miss at least a few weeks as he recovers from a Grade 2 oblique strain. Voit was recently placed on the 10-day injured list, though he will certainly be forced to miss more than the minimum time with the ailment. The slugger will be […]

Maxi Kleber Probable On Sunday

Dallas Mavericks forward Maxi Kleber (Achilles) is probable for Sunday's matchup against the Clippers. Kleber has dealt with lingering soreness in his right Achilles for over a month now. However, he has appeared in all three games during the postseason series with Los Angeles, averaging 11 points and 4.7 boards.

John Collins Heading To The Locker Room

Atlanta Hawks forward John Collins (face) left Sunday's matchup against the Knicks. Collins took an elbow from Julius Randle late in the third quarter, which caused a lip laceration that will require stitches. The 23-year-old was enjoying a productive afternoon, racking up 18 points and seven rebounds throughout 23 minutes. He is probable to return.

Kenta Maeda Dealing With Arm Soreness

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Kenta Maeda (groin, arm) is dealing with some general arm soreness.
