Buster Posey Out Of The Lineup On Friday

San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey (back) is not in the starting lineup on Friday. The veteran is dealing with lower back tightness, although it isn't known precisely how severe it is. Curt Casali will get some work as the temporary backstop against the Athletics, but he doesn't offer much of an upside, so fantasy […]

Logan Webb To Throw In A Sim Inning

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Logan Webb (shoulder) will toss in a simulated inning this week. The 24-year-old played well before going down because of a strained right shoulder, compiling a record of 4-3 and a 3.86 ERA, with 54 strikeouts, throughout nine starts this year. Though the righty still has a way to go, […]

Enoli Paredes Heading To Sugar Land

Houston Astros starting pitcher Enoli Paredes (shoulder) will report to Sugar Land for a rehab assignment within the next week. The 25-year-old currently resides on the 10-day injured list after he was diagnosed with a strained shoulder following a matchup against Boston a few weeks ago. Paredes is sporting a miserable 6.23 ERA out of […]

Trevor Williams Almost Ready For Rehab

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Trevor Williams (appendix) is nearing a rehab assignment. The right-hander has been out since the beginning of June after undergoing an emergency appendectomy, and he most recently threw a simulated inning off the bump on Tuesday. Alec Mills has been filling in as a member of the rotation and is worth […]

David Bote Could Begin Rehab Stint Soon

Chicago Cubs second baseman David Bote (shoulder) could begin a rehab assignment as early as next week. The 28-year-old has been out for about a month now after dislocating his left shoulder during a matchup against the Cincinnati Reds. However, it's unlikely he's missed much by anyone, primarily after batting just .201 throughout 161 plate […]

Each week, we'll present you the weekly rankings, followed […]

Justin Dunn Visits A Specialist

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Justin Dunn (shoulder) recently visited a specialist, with the team expected to provide an update over the weekend. Dunn remains out of the lineup after he was diagnosed with a muscle strain in his right shoulder nearly a week ago. The righty was initially expected to be shut down for two […]

LPL & LCK DFS Picks (6/26/21) - DraftKings and FanDuel League of Legends Daily Fantasy

Welcome back summoners, to another LOL breakdown article featuring FIVE matchups tomorrow from the LPL (super weekend!) and LCK. Our winners for each series were correct yesterday but the score predictions were slightly off. KT and TT swept as predicted, but DWG dropped a game, while TES came back in game two to complete the […]

Travis Blankenhorn Called Up From Syracuse

New York Mets second baseman Travis Blankenhorn was recalled from Triple-A on Friday. The 24-year-old, who was optioned just two weeks ago, will suit up for another stint with the big club after Jonathan Villar (calf) was placed on the 10-day injured reserve. The 24-year-old hasn't done much outside of Syracuse, compiling just one hit […]

Jonathan Villar Placed On 10-Day Injured List

New York Mets second baseman Jonathan Villar (calf) has been placed on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to June 22. Villar suffered a right calf strain during Monday's doubleheader against the Atlanta Braves but likely won't need to spend much time on the shelf. However, with the Mets dealing with a plethora of injuries, the […]

Abdel Nader Cleared For Action

Phoenix Suns guard Abdel Nader (knee) has been cleared to play and is expected to be available for Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals. The 27-year-old has been absent since March after undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery. While conditioning could be an issue, he may be thrust into a larger role against Los Angeles, primarily […]

Taijuan Walker With Another Solid Start On Friday

New York Mets starting pitcher Taijuan Walker continued his excellent season in his first year with the Mets in the first game of a doubleheader on Friday against the Philadelphia Phillies. Walker picked up a no-decision, but he struck out five and walked only one while allowing just one earned run in his five innings […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic Good For Game 2

Atlanta Hawks guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (knee) is available for Friday's matchup against Milwaukee. Bogdanovic has been dealing with soreness in his right knee and carried the same designation heading into the series opener on Wednesday, so his availability isn't a surprise by any means. However, he was obviously plagued by the ailment, finishing the Game […]

Brewers Could Be A Landing Spot For Trevor Story

The Milwaukee Brewers could be a potential landing spot for Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story. The two-time All-Star and Silver Slugger winner is expected to be traded, and the Rockies are listening to offers ahead of next month's trade deadline. The Brewers acquired Willy Adames from the Tampa Bay Rays last month, but they could […]

Cameron Payne Could Miss Saturday’s Contest

Phoenix Suns guard Cameron Payne (ankle) could miss the Game 4 matchup against the Clippers. The 26-year-old injured his left ankle during Thursday's loss to Los Angeles and was relegated to just four minutes as a result. Chris Paul (illness) returned for Game 3 after being sidelined due to COVID-19, so Payne probably wouldn't have […]

Danny Coulombe Starting Friday Against Indians

Minnesota Twins left-hander Danny Coulombe will make the start on Friday evening in his Twins debut against the Cleveland Indians. It will be a bullpen game, so fantasy managers shouldn't be expecting Coulombe to go deep into this ballgame. The 31-year-old southpaw had a fantastic 1.77 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 27:3 K:BB in 14 relief […]

Marcus Morris Sr. Questionable Against Suns

Los Angeles Clippers forward Marcus Morris Sr. (knee) is considered a game-time call against the Suns on Saturday evening. Morris has been plagued by left knee soreness since injuring it in Game 1 on Sunday. While there is a good chance that the veteran will be available, he could be relegated to a lesser role, […]

Jose Alvarado Can't Close Out Mets On Friday

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Jose Alvarado gave up a game-tying single to Francisco Lindor with two outs in the ninth to blow a save versus the Mets on Friday. It was a tough-luck-blown save for Alvarado as he was called on for a five-out save with just a one-run lead. Alvarado did his job in […]

Gregory Polanco Sitting Out Friday's Contest

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Gregory Polanco is not in the starting lineup for Friday night's matchup with the Cardinals. It looks to just be a night off for Polanco, who has played in 29 of the team's last 33 games. He hasn't looked very good at the plate this year, as he's slashing .201/.273/.348 with seven […]

Noah Syndergaard Does Some Light Jogging

New York Mets starting pitcher Noah Syndergaard (elbow) did some light jogging in the outfield before the first game of the team's doubleheader on Friday against the Philadelphia Phillies. Syndergaard was shut down for six weeks in late-May after experiencing a setback with his surgically repaired right elbow during a rehab start in the minor […]

Colin Moran Not In Starting Lineup Friday Night

Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman Colin Moran is not in the starting lineup for Friday night's game with the Cardinals. It appears to be a night off for Moran, who has played in five of the team's last six games. He's missed time due to injuries, but when healthy he's put up decent numbers at the […]

Kawhi Leonard Won’t Play In Game 4

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) won't play on Saturday night against Phoenix. This isn't a surprise, primarily since there have been rumblings that the veteran may not be back for the rest of the postseason as he continues to deal with an ACL injury in his right knee. Of course, Paul George should […]

Aaron Nola Ties Tom Seaver's Consecutive Strikeout Record

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Aaron Nola struck out 10 straight Mets on Friday to tie the consecutive strikeout record set by Mets legend Tom Seaver in 1970. Nola had 12 strikeouts overall to match his career-high while tossing 5 1/3 shutout innings. The right-hander allowed the first two batters to reach base but struck out […]

Spencer Howard To Start Monday

Philadelphia Phillies manager Joe Girardi said he expects starting pitcher Spencer Howard to start on Monday at the Cincinnati Reds, which will push right-hander Vince Velasquez to Tuesday against the Miami Marlins. No reason has been given for the switch. Howard has been up and down in his second major league season, going 0-2 with […]

Brandon Belt Placed On Injured List, Could Face Surgery

San Francisco Giants first baseman Brandon Belt (knee) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Friday with right knee inflammation, according to Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle. This move was expected, as it had been announced previously that Belt would likely be facing a stint on the injured list after suffering an […]

Eduardo Escobar Returns To D-Backs Lineup

Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eduardo Escobar (quadriceps) is back in the starting lineup on Friday against the San Diego Padres. Escobar is back at the hot corner and is hitting third against Padres right-hander Chris Paddack. The veteran infielder missed the whole first half of the week after he strained his right quadriceps on Sunday, […]

Mike Trout Still Hasn't Resumed Baseball Activities

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (calf) still has not begun running or resumed baseball activities, according to Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register. General manager Perry Minasian said that because he has not resumed activities yet, there remains no timetable for his return. Trout has been out since the middle of May after […]

Daniel Hudson Could Throw Bullpen Soon

Washington Nationals manager Dave Martinez said he's hoping that relief pitcher Daniel Hudson (elbow) will be able to throw a bullpen session either Monday or Tuesday. Hudson has been on the injured list since June 12 with elbow inflammation. The veteran right-hander has been throwing on flat ground and is nearing his return. The 34-year-old […]
