Edwin Rios Done For The Year

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Edwin Rios (labrum) is done for the remainder of the year. The 27-year-old will have season-ending surgery to repair a torn labrum in his right shoulder. Rios hasn't done much this season, sporting a miserable .078 average and four hits throughout 51 at-bats while striking out 18 times. Hopefully, surgery will […]

New York Yankees starting pitcher Gerrit Cole tossed a masterpiece in a 1-0 win over the Rays on Wednesday night.

Hyun-Jin Ryu Stymies Braves Over Seven Frames

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Hyun-Jin Ryu was excellent in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Braves, limiting the team to one run over seven innings. The lefty struck out six while allowing five hits and a walk with the only damage coming off of a William Contreras home run in the fifth. Ryu is making […]

Teoscar Hernandez Slugs A Pair Of Dingers In Win

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez walloped a pair of homers to help lead the club to a 4-1 victory over the Braves on Wednesday. His solo shot in the seventh put them ahead by a run before he added some insurance in the top of the ninth with a 464' two-run shot for his […]

A.J. Cole Closes Door On Braves

Toronto Blue Jays reliever A.J. Cole picked up his first save of the season on Wednesday, closing the door on the Braves in the club's 4-1 win. He walked one in the outing while serving up three fly-ball outs to secure his fourth career save. It was just the second appearance of the season for […]

Jake Odorizzi “Looked Good” Throwing On Wednesday

Houston Astros starting pitcher Jake Odorizzi (forearm) "looked good" throwing during live batting practice on Wednesday. The veteran hasn't played since straining his forearm at the end of April, and with the Astros dealing with some injuries in the rotation, his return can't come soon enough. However, the 31-year-old hasn't done much this season, recording […]

Mike Moustakas Homers, Walks Twice On Wednesday

Cincinnati Reds infielder Mike Moustakas went 2-for-3 with a homer, two runs, one RBI, and two walks in a 5-1 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday. Moustakas drew first blood with his solo shot in the second inning, taking Pirates starter Trevor Cahill deep. It was a welcome sight for Moustakas, who hadn't homered […]

Jose Urquidy Exits Wednesday’s Contest

Houston Astros starting pitcher Jose Urquidy (shoulder) was pulled from Wednesday's matchup against the Los Angeles Angels. The 26-year-old lasted nearly four innings before exiting with what was described as a posterior shoulder injury. He has met expectations so far in 2021, compiling a record of three wins and two losses in addition to a […]

Russell Westbrook Scores Game-High 34 Points

Washington Wizards point guard Russell Westbrook was the top scorer in Wednesday's 120-116 loss to Atlanta, going for 34 points on 12-for-28 shooting. It was an inefficient performance, but the former MVP impressed with a 4-for-9 effort from behind the arc and he shot 6-for-8 at the foul line. Westbrook's line included 15 assists, five […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic Notches 20 Points In Wednesday's Victory

Atlanta Hawks shooting guard Bogdan Bogdanovic had a solid 20-point night against the Wizards on Wednesday, shooting 8-for-15 from the field and 4-for-10 from downtown in a 120-116 win. He also came up big on the defensive end with three steals and one block, while picking up three assists and two rebounds with one turnover. […]

Jonas Valanciunas Listed As Questionable Versus Kings

Memphis Grizzlies center Jonas Valanciunas (back) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Head coach Taylor Jenkins mentioned that he expected this to be a one-game absence when Valanciunas sat out on Tuesday. Despite that, the team is listing him as questionable heading into this game. Xavier Tillman and Brandon Clarke […]

Nick Pivetta Dealing With Vaccine Side Effects

Boston Red Sox pitcher Nick Pivetta was placed on the COVID-19 injured list on Wednesday. The righty has been on a roll in 2021, sporting a 3.19 ERA to go along with five wins and no losses. While his 24 walks are somewhat concerning, his 35 strikeouts throughout 36 innings place him near the top […]

Trae Young Flirts With Triple-Double Wednesday Night

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young was close to posting a triple-double in Wednesday's 120-116 win over Washington, leading his team with 33 points and adding nine assists with eight rebounds and five turnovers. He struggled from deep with a 2-for-8 effort but shot a solid 12-for-25 overall from the field with a 7-for-7 record […]

Christian Wood, Danuel House Jr. Out Wednesday

Houston Rockets center Christian Wood (ankle) and forward Danuel House Jr. (ankle) have been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Houston only has two games left on their schedule, so they have no incentive to play anyone at less than 100 percent healthy. Kelly Olynyk should benefit the most from the […]

Robert Williams III Could Miss Some Playoff Action

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (toe) did not suit up on Wednesday and is likely to miss the last few regular season games. Head coach Brad Stevens revealed that Williams received a cortisone shot for his turf toe injury, but it didn't help the pain. That is not good news since rest is really […]

EPL DFS Lineup Picks for FanDuel (5/13/21) - English Premier League Soccer

Welcome back, RotoBallers! We have a small break from single-game slates with two EPL games on Thursday. There are actually significant implications in both of the games which seems to be a change from what we've had lately. I will be breaking down that game in full for you here. Keep reading this breakdown for […]

J.J. Redick Done For The Rest Of The Regular Season

Dallas Mavericks guard J.J. Redick (heel) will be shut down until the postseason next week. The team is uncertain if he'll be ready to play in the playoffs, but he isn't a huge part of the Mavs rotation. The veteran guard is a nice source of triples off the bench, but won't make or break […]

Christian Walker Lands On 10-Day Injured List

Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Christian Walker (oblique) has landed on the 10-day injured list with a right oblique strain. This is not good news as the slugger has already missed time this season because of this same issue. Although he could make it back to the lineup within a few weeks, fantasy managers should plan […]

Alex Caruso Won't Suit Up Wednesday

Los Angeles Lakers guard Alex Caruso (foot) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Houston Rockets. This is not good news for the Lakers, but they likely want to be cautious with the playoffs starting next week. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Talen Horton-Tucker should see increased roles in the rotation. Both are worth a […]

Byron Buxton Expected To Hit In Cage Thursday Or Friday

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton (hip) is expected to begin hitting in the cage on Thursday or Friday. Buxton was also cleared to throw and work with the strength and conditioning staff. Given that his timetable for a return was initially seen as "weeks" away, the star outfielder isn't close to being activated, though it […]

Jon Gray Takes The Loss in Game 1 Of Doubleheader On Wednesday

Colorado Rockies right-hander Jon Gray took the loss on Tuesday when he allowed four runs, one earned, on three hits with three walks and six strikeouts over 5 2/3 innings in a 5-3 loss to the Padres. Gray started Game 1 of Wednesday's doubleheader and pitched better than his box score would indicate. He kept […]

Alexei Melnichuk Starts Wednesday For San Jose

San Jose Sharks netminder Alexei Melnichuk will be between the pipes on Wednesday against the Golden Knights. Melnichuk has made just two starts this season that both resulted in losses to Los Angeles and Arizona. Through those two games, he accumulated a 4.25 goals-against average, and a .865 save percentage. He has split time in […]

Alex Kirilloff Cleared For Weight Room Activities

Minnesota Twins outfielder/first baseman Alex Kirilloff (wrist) has been cleared for weight room activities. It's clearly a good sign that he'll be allowed to lift weights, though a clearer picture of his availability for game action won't arrive until he attempts to swing a bat, which he is expected to do when the Twins return […]

Lean Bergmann Will Make His Season Debut For San Jose

San Jose Sharks forward Lean Bergmann will play in his first regular-season contest in 2021. Career-wise, Bergmann registered one assist in 12 regular-season games that have all been played with San Jose. The German-born forward has spent much of the last two seasons suiting up for San Jose AHL affiliate the San Jose Barracuda. He […]

Viviane Araujo With A Chance To Shine
