OG Anunoby Ruled Out Thursday

Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby (calf) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Washington Wizards. This is frustrating for fantasy managers since Anunoby was playing well before the injury. However, it doesn't appear the Raptors have any intentions of letting Anunoby back on the court this season. Stanley Johnson has been getting more […]

Austin Romine Moved To 60-Day Injured List

Chicago Cubs catcher Austin Romine (wrist) was moved to the 60-day injured list. The 32-year-old, who opened the season on the shelf with a knee injury, has been dealing with a sprained left wrist. He was originally scheduled to be out a few weeks. However, it now appears as if things have trended in the […]

Brandon Ingram Sidelined On Friday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. It is not good news that Ingram is being ruled out this far in advance. Despite that, the team is listing him as day-to-day, which is good news for fantasy managers. The Pelicans only have six games […]

Jake Arrieta To Throw Bullpen Session

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Jake Arrieta (thumb) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Thursday. The 35-year-old was recently placed on the 10-day injured list while dealing with a cut on his right thumb. Arrieta has three wins and three losses to go along with a 4.31 ERA throughout six starts during the 2021 […]

Alec Burks Will Play Versus Nuggets

New York Knicks guard Alec Burks (knee) is available for Wednesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He tweaked his knee during Monday's contest, but it sounds like he'll be able to play through the pain. Burks won't be a great streaming option since he is continuing to work on his conditioning, so he could be […]

Jon Gray Punches Out Eight Against San Francisco

Colorado Rockies right-hander Jon Gray picked up a quality start and a win on Wednesday when he allowed two runs on four hits with two walks and eight strikeouts in a 6-5 win over the Giants. Gray really made just one mistake in this contest when he served up a two-run shot to Brandon Crawford […]

Joey Votto May Be Out For A Month

Cincinnati Reds first baseman Joey Votto (hand) will miss up to a month after breaking his left thumb during Wednesday's win over the Chicago White Sox. The veteran was nailed by a Dallas Keuchel pitch in the fourth inning and was subsequently replaced by Kyle Farmer. Although it appears the 37-year-old doesn't need surgery, it […]

George Springer Set To Miss Another One

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (quadriceps) will remain out ahead of Wednesday's contest against the Athletics. The 31-year-old will miss another one as the team waits for the MRI results to determine whether or not he will spend more time on the injured list. Springer is batting .200 throughout 15 at-bats this season while […]

Geoff Neal Can Burst Into The Top 10

Possibly biting off more than he could chew in his last outing, Geoff Neal (13-3) dropped a decision to the fourth-ranked Stephen Thompson in December of last year. The 10th-ranked Neal has been on quite the run lately, winning his first five UFC bouts, with four of the five ending in a finish. Overall in […]

Randy Arozarena Gets Night Off Wednesday

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Randy Arozarena is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels. It appears to be a night off for Arozarena, who has struggled at the plate recently, slashing .100/.308/.100 over his last six games. Brett Phillips will get the start in right field Wednesday, and will bat eighth against […]

Neil Magny Hoping To Continue His Climb

Looking for his first win of 2021, Neil Magny (24-8) hopes to rebound from his loss to a top-ranked welterweight in January. Prior to the loss, Magny had won three in a row, including a win over former champion Robbie Lawler. The TUF 16 veteran has been competing under the UFC banner for nearly 10 […]

Julian Merryweather Transferred To 60-Day IL

Toronto Blue Jays relief pitcher Julian Merryweather (oblique) was transferred to the 60-day injured list on Wednesday, according to Rob Longley of the Toronto Sun. Merryweather looked to be breaking out as one of the top closers in fantasy early on, recording two saves and a 0.00 ERA with seven strikeouts in 4 1/3 innings […]

George Springer Undergoes MRI Wednesday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (quad) underwent an MRI on Wednesday for his right quad, according to Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic. McGrath adds that the team is concerned he hasn't been improving fast enough, and that depending on the results of the MRI, he could end up being held out of the lineup […]

Marcos Rogerio de Lima Looking For Another First-Round Victory

The TUF Brazil Season 3 fighter Marcos Rogerio de Lima (17-7-1) has flip-flopped wins and losses since December of 2014, going 5-5 over that timeframe. Lima is a damaging striker, winning 13 of his 17 career victories by knockout/TKO, with all five of his UFC victories coming in the first round. DraftKings sees Pezao as […]

Buster Posey Exits Game Early Wednesday

San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey exited Wednesday's game in the seventh inning and was replaced by Curt Casali, according to Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports. In his last plate appearance of the game, Posey was thrown out trying to stretch a single into a double in the top of the fifth inning. He remained […]

Maurice Greene In Search Of Fifth UFC Victory

In need of turning things around, Maurice Greene (9-5) has lost three of his last four and sits at 4-3 inside the Octagon. The TUF 28 competitor is coming off of a second-round TKO loss to newcomer Greg Hardy in October of last year. When he does pull out the victory, it is in dominating […]

Jacob deGrom Could Make Next Start On Sunday

New York Mets starting pitcher Jacob deGrom (lat) could be ready to make his next start on Sunday, according to MLB.com's Anthony DiComo. deGrom was scratched from his start on Tuesday due to inflammation in his right lat, but it sounds like he could begin playing catch by Thursday if he is cleared by doctors. […]

Gregor Gillespie Set For Long-Awaited Octagon Return

Out of the Octagon for nearly 18 months, Gregor Gillespie (13-1) returns to action on Saturday hoping to rebound from his first career loss, a first-round knockout back in November of 2019. After his March bout with Brad Riddell fell through due to COVID-19 protocols, he is finally set to return to the cage after […]

Juan Soto Still Not In Lineup Wednesday

Washington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto remains out of the starting lineup on Wednesday. Soto was used as a pinch-hitter on Tuesday night, striking out in his first at-bat since returning from the injured list. There's no word as to why Soto was held out Wednesday, although it could just be the team wanted to ease […]

Diego Ferreira Hoping To Rebound On Saturday

Coming off of a tough decision loss in February, Diego Ferreira (17-3) had won his previous six bouts. Dangerous on the mat, Ferreira has scored seven submission victories in his 17 career victories. Most recently, Ferreira has a submission victory over former UFC champion Anthony Pettis. DraftKings sees Ferreira as a decent-sized underdog with a […]

John Means Throws No-Hitter Wednesday

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher John Means tossed a no-hitter in Wednesday's victory over the Mariners. Means was dominant in doing so, striking out 12 batters with no walks over nine innings, throwing 79 of 113 pitches for strikes. The southpaw was missing bats all afternoon, as he generated a whopping 26 swinging strikes, 22 of […]

Pete Fairbanks Activated From IL Wednesday

Tampa Bay Rays relief pitcher Pete Fairbanks (shoulder) was activated from the injured list on Wednesday, according to Adam Berry of MLB.com.

Jake Odorizzi Set To Throw Bullpen

Houston Astros starting pitcher Jake Odorizzi (arm) is set to throw a bullpen session on Wednesday. Odorizzi was placed on the injured list a week ago with a strained muscle in his throwing arm.

Diego Castillo Placed On Injured List Wednesday

Tampa Bay Rays relief pitcher Diego Castillo (groin) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday with right groin tightness, according to Adam Berry of MLB.com.

Columbus Blue Jackets goaltender Elvis Merzlikins will be in between the pipes as his team engages in a rematch versus the Nashville Predators on Wednesday.

San Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado and outfielder Trent Grisham are not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates.
