Jose Abreu Hits Sixth Home Run

Chicago White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu went 2-for-4 with a run scored, three RBI and a solo home run in Tuesday's victory versus the Cincinnati Reds. Abreu has been off to a slow start this season and was 3-for-21 entering tonight's contest. Abreu is traditionally a slow starter and makes for a prime buy […]

Giancarlo Stanton Keeps Mashing In Win Over Astros

New York Yankees designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton went 4-for-5 with three RBI and a run scored in a 7-3 win over Houston on Tuesday night. Stanton put the Yankees on the board with a two-run blast in the first inning, then added onto the lead in the sixth inning with an RBI single. The slugger […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic Probable Against Phoenix

Atlanta Hawks forward Bogdan Bogdanovic (hamstring) is probable for Wednesday's matchup against the Suns. The 28-year-old continues to carry a designation due to soreness in his left hamstring. However, he did suit up in the team's previous two contests and score a combined 40 points, so the ailment doesn't appear to be bothering him much […]

Dylan Cease Shuts Down Cincinnati

Chicago White Sox starter Dylan Cease had another breakout performance against the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday. The White Sox hurler allowed only one hit across six brilliant innings, striking out 11 and walking three. Cease has now allowed only seven base runners over his past 13 innings, giving up zero runs and striking out 20. […]

Domingo German Effective Despite No-Decision

New York Yankees starting pitcher Domingo German turned in another effective outing despite not factoring into the decision. German pitched five innings, surrendering three runs on four hits while fanning six batters compared to one walk. He produced a strong 30 percent CSW, and it was his third straight start lasting at least five innings […]

Tyrese Haliburton Expected To Miss Rest Of The Year

Sacramento Kings guard Tyrese Haliburton (knee) is likely done for the season. The rookie left Sunday's matchup against Dallas after he suffered a left knee injury. Although an MRI revealed no ligament damage and he won't require surgery, the team will keep him on the shelf. The 21-year-old had an efficient inaugural campaign, averaging 13 […]

Furkan Korkmaz Won’t Play On Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Furkan Korkmaz (ankle) won't play on Wednesday against the Houston Rockets. The 23-year-old aggravated the right ankle sprain that caused him to miss several games this season during Monday's outing against Chicago. Without him, Matisse Thybulle and Shake Milton should see extra minutes, although neither are dependable fantasy options.

Joe Ross Allows Two Runs In Loss To Braves

Washington Nationals starter Joe Ross continued his strong start to the season Tuesday against Atlanta. Even though he earned his second loss of the season, Ross allowed only two earned runs while striking out three. Removing his horrendous fourth start of the season against St. Louis, Ross has allowed only three combined earned runs in […]

Damian Lillard Probable On Wednesday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard (foot) is listed as probable ahead of Wednesday's matchup against Cleveland. The veteran is currently dealing with a bruise on his left foot, an injury that he picked up during Monday's matchup against the Atlanta Hawks. Although he will likely play, fantasy managers should monitor his status until lock […]

Aaron Nola Looks Strong Against Milwaukee

Philadelphia Phillies starter Aaron Nola allowed only one run across six strong innings against the Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday. This start lowered Nola's ERA back under 3.00 to a tidy 2.89, and he also struck out 10. Nola has looked everything like the Cy Young vote-getter that he was in 2018 and 2020 this season, […]

Raiders To Release Jeff Heath

The Las Vegas Raiders will release safety Jeff Heath on Wednesday, according to a source. Heath was the AFC Defensive Player of the Week in Week 10 last year, but he'll be looking for a new team this offseason. It comes after the Raiders drafted safeties Trevon Moehrig in the second round and Tyree Gillespie […]

LeBron James To Miss More Time

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) will miss Thursday and Friday's games against the Clippers and Trail Blazers. The former MVP recently returned from a right ankle injury that caused him to miss six weeks. However, after reaggravating the ailment on Sunday against Toronto, the team will take a cautious approach to prepare for […]

Ja'Wuan James Suffers Torn Achilles

Denver Broncos offensive tackle Ja'Wuan James (Achilles) suffered a torn Achilles while working out away from the team facilities on Tuesday, according to sources. His $10 million salary for the upcoming season is now in jeopardy with the Broncos no longer obligated to pay him because he wasn't working out at the team's facilities. However, […]

Garrett Hampson Continues Hot Start

Colorado Rockies second baseman and center fielder Garrett Hampson continued his torrid start to the season in the first game of a doubleheader against San Francisco on Tuesday. The speedy Hampson picked up a stolen base along with two singles and a run scored in the Rockies eight-run loss. Hampson now has 10 extra-base hits […]

Rougned Odor Injured Against Astros

New York Yankees second baseman Rougned Odor (leg) left Tuesday's matchup against the Houston Astros. The veteran suffered a left leg injury in the sixth inning during a collision with catcher Martin Maldonado. He was slow to get up and wasn't able to initially put pressure on the leg. Although the 27-year-old has seen better […]

German Marquez Destroyed In Game 1 Of Doubleheader

Colorado Rockies right-hander German Marquez allowed a whopping eight runs on six hits with two walks and one strikeout over just 2/3 of an inning in a 12-4 loss to the Giants in Game 1 of Tuesday's doubleheader. Marquez never had a chance in this one as he allowed 8-of-10 batters that he faced to […]

Roman Quinn Exits Tuesday’s Game

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Roman Quinn (finger) was removed from Tuesday's game against the Brewers due to injury. While attempting a bunt in the second inning, the 27-year-old suffered a deep cut on his right index finger that required nine stitches to close. Although X-rays showed no additional damage, fantasy managers may be without him for […]

Kevin Gausman Dealing With Vaccine Side Effects

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Kevin Gausman has been placed on the COVID-19 injured list. The veteran is dealing with side effects related to the Coronavirus vaccine, and although he isn't expected to miss much time, fantasy managers should prepare for him to miss a trip or two through the cycle. The 30-year-old has played […]

Chris Martin Expected To Report For Rehab Assignment

Atlanta Braves relief pitcher Chris Martin (shoulder) will report to Triple-A Gwinnett for a short rehab stint. Upon completion, the veteran is expected to return and rejoin a staff that has dealt with numerous injuries in 2021. The 34-year-old hasn't played in nearly a month due to right shoulder inflammation and has appeared in just […]

Fernando Tatis Jr. Not In The Lineup On Tuesday

San Diego Padres shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. (rest) will not play on Tuesday evening against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The 22-year-old will get the night off, so fantasy managers shouldn't be alarmed by his absence. Ha-Seong Kim will slide over from second to man the position and bat eighth in a favorable matchup against Mitch Keller […]

Merrill Kelly Heading To The Injured List

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Merrill Kelly was placed on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. Although the reasoning wasn't clear, it certainly isn't good news for a team that has dealt with injuries throughout the rotation. Kelly missed time in 2020 due to a shoulder injury, so fantasy managers could see him out longer. The […]

Patrick Beverley Faces Minutes Limit In Return Tuesday

Los Angeles Clippers point guard Patrick Beverley (hand) has been given the green light to get back into the mix for Tuesday's contest versus the Raptors. Beverley hadn't taken the floor since April 8 due to a fractured hand, but he will be available Tuesday, albeit in a limited capacity. His return muddles the fantasy […]

Danuel House Jr. Unlikely To Suit Up Wednesday

Houston Rockets small/power forward Danuel House Jr. (ankle) has earned a doubtful designation ahead of Wednesday's game versus Philadelphia due to a sore right ankle. House has missed each of the past three contests due to the ailment, having suited up for only 42 minutes of action across two outings since April 4. House's likely […]

P.J. Dozier Ruled Out For Wednesday’s Contest

Denver Nuggets shooting guard/small forward P.J. Dozier (adductor) will miss Wednesday's game against the Knicks due to a strained right adductor. Dozier had been elevated to the starting five for each of Denver's past six contests, in which he averaged 11.5 points and 3.3 rebounds over 28.2 minutes per outing. His absence on the wing […]

Gregory Polanco Placed On Injured List Tuesday

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Gregory Polanco (undisclosed) was placed on the injured list shortly before Tuesday night's game, according to Rob Biertempful of The Athletic. The Pirates have not announced an injury designation for Polanco at this time. In a corresponding move, the team selected utility man Hunter Owens. Polanco has heated up at the plate […]

Chimezie Metu Will Miss Tuesday’s Contest

Sacramento Kings power forward/center Chimezie Metu (back) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game versus Oklahoma City due to a sore back. Metu hasn't suited up since last Friday, giving Marvin Bagley III unabated minutes at the power forward slot. Averaging just 5.3 points and 2.6 boards this season, Metu hasn't cracked the Sacramento rotation […]

Michael Wacha Placed On Injured List Tuesday

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Michael Wacha (hamstring) has been placed on the 10-day injured list with right hamstring tightness, according to Adam Berry of MLB.com. Manager Kevin Cash said that Wacha felt the tightness while running on Monday, and he reported not feeling right while playing catch on Tuesday. The team is hopeful that […]

Maxi Kleber Faces Multi-Game Absence

Dallas Mavericks power forward Maxi Kleber (Achilles) is in line to miss "the next two or three games" as he works through an Achilles issue, per head coach Rick Carlisle. Kleber has been a recent frequenter of the injury report, but he has suited up for each of Dallas' past six games; his absence paves […]

George Springer Out Of Lineup Again On Tuesday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer is out of the starting lineup again on Tuesday night, as it will be his third game in a row he will sit out. Springer was held out of the lineup on Sunday due to it being a day game immediately following a night game, and then Monday's absence […]
