Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Taylor Walls went 3-for-5 with two doubles and two RBI in a 7-1 win over the Rangers on Sunday.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Sam Haggerty (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day injured list on Monday, according to Ryan Divish of the Seattle Times.

Shed Long Jr. Reinstated From Injured List

Seattle Mariners second baseman Shed Long Jr. (shin) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list on Monday, according to Mark Feinsand of MLB.com. Long has been sidelined all season so far with a stress fracture in his shin, as he suffered an early blow in his attempt to bounce back from a rough 2020 campaign […]

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Keston Hiura was optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Monday, according to Will Sammon of The Athletic.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 30% of leagues ANALYSIS: Cody Poteet has been largely unheralded since being drafted from UCLA, and while he's had his ups and downs throughout the Miami minors system, he looks mighty comfortable five starts into his rookie MLB campaign at the age of 26.

Julio Jones To Tennessee - Fantasy Impact

Julio Jones is a member of the Tennessee Titans.

NBA DFS Prop Picks for 6/7 - Monkey Knife Fight

Monday starts off right with Game 2 of Nets-Bucks and the first game of what should be the best series of the playoffs, Suns-Nuggets.

Dane Dunning Throws Five Scoreless Innings

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Dane Dunning looked sharp during Sunday's loss to the Tampa Bay Rays. He tossed five scoreless innings, three hits allowed, two walks, and six strikeouts.

Jakob Junis Optioned To Minors

Kansas City Royals pitcher Jakob Junis has been optioned to Triple-A to free up a roster spot for Jackson Kowar. This shouldn't surprise anyone with Junis posting a 5.19 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 35/11 K/BB ratio across 34 2/3 innings. He was already pulled out of the rotation, so Junis was the odd man out […]
