We have a busy 10 game Monday. The Rockies are back in Coors and we have a few aces out there. How do we get an acceptable pitcher and some Coors bats? Do we even want Coors bats? There is a lot to wrap our heads around on this slate, including the massive price increase […]

Michael Houser Makes NHL Debut Versus Islanders

Buffalo Sabres goaltender Michael Houser will make his NHL debut on Monday against the Islanders. It's an incredible story as the 28-year-old hasn't played a single game since March 2020, and he's featured just twice above the ECHL level of hockey since 2016-17. Furthermore, Houser was born with bilateral club feet, which needed over 10 […]

Jasson Dominguez Working Out At Extended Spring Training

New York Yankees outfielder Jasson Dominguez is currently working out in an extended spring training. Dominguez could still debut for Low-A Tampa this season, though the Yankees wanted to play it safe with their 18-year-old prospect coming off of a lost season due to the pandemic. The number-one ranked prospect in the organization has the […]

Dustin May To Undergo Tommy John Surgery

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Dustin May (elbow) has suffered UCL damage and will undergo Tommy John surgery, according to Juan Toribio of MLB.com. May exited his start on Saturday in pain after throwing a pitch in the second inning, and was placed on the injured list on Sunday. Tests have shown that May damaged […]

Tyler Seguin Looks Ready For Season Debut

Dallas Stars forward Tyler Seguin (hip) has been activated from Injured Reserve and is officially a game-time decision for Monday's bout against Florida. Denis Gurianov and Jason Dickinson are also game-time decisions with Anton Khudobin set to start between the pipers. Seguin had a quiet year in 2019-20, but he's been a point-per-game player most […]

Harold Ramirez Batting Sixth Monday

Cleveland Indians outfielder Harold Ramirez will bat sixth and play center field on Monday night against the Kansas City Royals. Ramirez has been on the Indians taxi squad to begin the season and will finally get his opportunity Monday night against the Royals. It is nice to see him hitting in the middle of the […]

Spencer Knight Gets Another Start On Monday

Florida Panthers goaltender Spencer Knight will be between the pipes once again in Monday's home game against Dallas. He will be backed up by Philippe Desrosiers, with Sergei Bobrovsky getting some time off and Chris Driedger (lower body) nursing an injury. Knight made his NHL debut last month, and he's off to a perfect 3-0-0 […]

Clarke Schmidt Progressing Well In Rehab

New York Yankees pitcher Clarke Schmidt (elbow) is reportedly progressing well in his recovery from an elbow injury. Schmidt suffered a flexor tendon strain in his elbow but looks "fantastic" and could help the team at the big-league level in 2021, per Yankees Director of Player Development Kevin Reese. Schmidt had a short but rough […]

Sam Bennett Won't Play On Monday, Listed Day-To-Day

Florida Panthers forward Sam Bennett (upper body) won't play against the Stars on Monday, and he's listed day-to-day. Mason Marchment is set to enter the lineup. Bennett has sparked into life since his move from Calgary to Florida, picking up 13 points in nine games. He put together a five-game point streak before getting injured. […]

Devonte' Graham, Cody Martin Ruled Out For Tuesday

Charlotte Hornets guards Devonte' Graham (knee) and Cody Martin (ankle) have been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. It's uncertain why Graham is out after playing 24 minutes on Sunday. Possibly, the Hornets are giving him a rest day against the tanking Pistons. Martin was getting minutes in the 20s, so Malik […]

Alex Ovechkin, John Carlson Could Be Back Monday Night

Washington Capitals left wing Alex Ovechkin (lower body) and defenseman John Carlson (lower body) are both game-time decisions for Monday's meeting with the Rangers. It looks likely that the duo returns as both were on the ice at the morning skate. Ovechkin hasn't played in four games while Carlson has sat out two matches. Both […]

LeBron James Ruled Out Monday

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He exited with roughly seven minutes left during Sunday's contest. It appears he rushed himself back to the court and will miss at least one game. However, there's a good chance that James sits out on Tuesday […]

Maxi Kleber Could Sit Out Tuesday

Dallas Mavericks forward Maxi Kleber (Achilles) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Miami Heat. This is unfortunate news with Kristaps Porzingis (knee) already listed as doubtful. The Mavs are likely going to ask Dorian Finney-Smith to play a significant role with Willie Cauley-Stein and Dwight Powell getting more involved. Finney-Smith should be […]

Browns Sign Malik McDowell

The Cleveland Browns signed free-agent defensive tackle Malik McDowell to an undisclosed deal on Monday. McDowell was a second-round pick by the Seattle Seahawks in 2017. He has yet to play an NFL game after a serious ATV injury during training camp before his rookie season. It's an interesting low-risk move for a Browns defense […]

Evgeni Malkin Returns To Action On Monday

Pittsburgh Penguins center Evgeni Malkin (lower body) will be back in the lineup on Monday against Philadelphia after missing 23 games. Pittsburgh's star centerman posted eight goals and 24 points in 29 games before getting hurt. Fantasy managers should get him back in the lineup straight away, as Malkin has crushed it throughout his career […]

Benjamin Rortvedt Behind The Plate Monday

Minnesota Twins catcher Benjamin Rortvedt is behind the plate for the series opener against the Texas Rangers. Rortvedt will make his second career start as the backstop for the Twins, as manager Rocco Baldelli has deployed an even split through four games between the prospect and Mitch Garver. Garver's defense- 44th-percentile in pitch-framing- makes it […]

Nico Hoerner Won't Start On Monday

Chicago Cubs middle infielder Nico Hoerner will be absent from the Cubs starting lineup on Monday versus the Los Angeles Dodgers. Hoerner made his season debut on April 22 and has been off to an impressive start. Hoerner has started 10 consecutive games primarily at second base and shortstop with some run in the outfield […]

Patriots Decline Sony Michel's Option, Pick Up Isaiah Wynn's

The New England Patriots picked up the fifth-year option for the 2022 season on offensive lineman Isaiah Wynn on Monday. On the flip side, they declined the fifth-year option for running back Sony Michel. Michel was the 31st overall pick in the 2018 NFL draft and would've made $4.523 million in 2022 had his option […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (5/3/21): NBA DFS Lineups

The NBA schedule has eight games on the main slate for Monday night. You'll have a plethora of players to choose from and matchups to target. One matchup you should be particularly keen on is the Golden State Warriors versus the New Orleans Pelicans. Here are three tips on how to attack the overall slate when assembling […]

Lance McCullers Jr. Enjoying Early Returns

Houston Astros starter Lance McCullers Jr. has to feel good with his performance through the first month of the season. McCullers (2-1) is trying to re-establish himself as a top-of-the-rotation starter after missing all of the 2019 season after elbow surgery. Thus far, the results this season have been encouraging. Through his first five starts, […]

Kristaps Porzingis Doubtful Against Heat

Dallas Mavericks center Kristaps Porzingis (knee) is listed as doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Miami Heat. This is likely going to be the third game in a row that Porzingis has missed due to this knee injury. Fantasy managers shouldn't count on Porzingis being out there with how cautious the Mavs have been with […]

Jorge Polanco Returns To Lineup Monday

Minnesota Twins second baseman Jorge Polanco is back in the lineup for Monday's series opener against the Rangers. Polanco got the day off Sunday and has started the season slowly but is currently riding a three-game hitting streak with a pair of extra-base hits in that span, including his first homer of the season. He'll […]

Vikings Won't Pick Up Mike Hughes' Fifth-Year Option

The Minnesota Vikings are not picking up the fifth-year option for the 2022 season on cornerback Mike Hughes, according to a source. It doesn't come as a huge shock, as Hughes played in just four games last season and has dealt with serious injuries since being a first-rounder out of Central Florida in 2018. The […]

Willson Contreras Returns To Lineup

Chicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras (thigh) has returned to the Cubs lineup on Monday versus the Los Angeles Dodgers. Contreras had been dealing with mild right thigh tightness since Friday and didn't start on Saturday or Sunday, but entered Sunday's contest out of desperation with the Cubs not having any other position players to replace […]

Ryan Pressly Off To Great Start

Houston Astros closer Ryan Pressly has done an excellent job of locking down the ninth inning for the team through the first month of the season. Pressly is 4-for-4 in save chances with a 1.50 ERA and 13 strikeouts through his first 12 innings pitched. The veteran allowed a run in last performance on May […]

Nerlens Noel Is Questionable On Monday

New York Knicks center Nerlens Noel (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. He tweaked his ankle during Sunday's contest and was unable to return. The Knicks might wait and see how Noel feels during pregame warmups before making a final decision. Taj Gibson and Norvel Pelle would be asked […]

Kyle Tucker Hitting .176 In The Last 15 Games

Houston Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker will try and get his offensive game going as the month of May has begun. April was a month Tucker is ready to forget, slashing .181/.238/.372 through his first 94 at-bats and is struggling on several fronts. The main culprit, to this point, is the fact that Tucker is hitting […]
