Krzysztof Jotko Drops Decision To Sean Strickland

Putting up a valiant effort was not quite enough for Krzysztof Joko to earn his fourth straight win, dropping the decision to the 15th-ranked Sean Strickland on Saturday's main card of action. He was significantly out-struck in this contest, as Jotko (22-5) only tallied 37 significant strikes compared to Strickland's 84 significant strikes. The 31-year-old […]

As expected, Sean Strickland (23-3) went the distance with fellow striker Krzysztof Jotko, earning the unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 29-28) on Saturday's main card of action between two dangerous middleweight strikers. Strickland absolutely dominated on the statistical end of the scoresheet, landing 84 significant strikes compared to Jotko's 37 significant strikes. Neither fighter attempted a […]

Javier Baez Hits Two-Run Home Run

Chicago Cubs shortstop Javier Baez went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Sunday's loss versus the Cincinnati Reds.

Now on the first losing streak of his UFC career, Cody Stamann (19-3-1) has lost back-to-back bouts, with the latest being a unanimous-decision loss to Merab Dvalishvili to open up Saturday's main card of action. On the statistical end, Stamann landed 48 significant strikes (73 total strikes) but was taken down five times compared to […]

Zach Plesac Pitches Well Sunday

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Zach Plesac went 5 2/3 innings pitched while allowing three hits, four walks, and no earned runs on Sunday against the Chicago White Sox. Plesac had a couple of rough starts in April against these White Sox, but had a much better performance today despite walking four hitters. He will carry […]

Kris Bryant Hits Two More Home Runs

Chicago Cubs third baseman/outfielder Kris Bryant continues to stay hot. Bryant went 3-for-5 with two runs scored and a pair of home runs in Sunday's loss versus the Cincinnati Reds.

Corey Kluber Fans 10 On Sunday

New York Yankees starting pitcher Corey Kluber delivered his best outing of the season on Sunday in a 2-0 win over the Tigers. Kluber put together a vintage performance against Detroit, pitching eight shutout innings while allowing just two hits and a walk along with a season-high 10 strikeouts. The veteran hurler induced 20 whiffs, […]

Trevor Williams Hit Hard In No-Decision

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Trevor Williams put together a poor performance in the Cubs loss on Sunday versus the Cincinnati Reds. Williams picked up the no-decision and was hurt by the longball in this contest. Williams allowed three home runs in the bottom of the third inning and would be yanked with two runners on […]

Ian Happ Exits After Scary Collision

Chicago Cubs outfielder Ian Happ has left Sunday's contest in the bottom of the eighth inning. Happ and second baseman Nico Hoerner collided going after a fly ball that Hoerner would catch. Happ was down for a while and tried to walk off under his own power, but would wind up going off the field […]

Danny Jansen’s Bat Wakes Up With Two Hits

Toronto Blue Jays catcher Danny Jansen busted a 0-for-35 slump at the dish Sunday, going 2-for-3 with a walk. The 26-year-old scored a run and drove in his first runner of the season in the 7-2 win as he looks to heat up after entering the game hitting .044 (2-for-45). Jansen's leash as the starter […]

Marcus Semien Paces Offense With Four RBI

Toronto Blue Jays middle infielder Marcus Semien cranked his sixth homer of the season in Sunday's 7-2 win over the Braves. He took reliever Sean Newcomb deep in the eighth and also added a two-run double in the contest, upping his RBI count to 14 on the season. Semien is slashing just .228/.301/.416 through 26 […]

Jaylen Brown Questionable Versus Blazers

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. This team cannot afford to lose Brown with Kemba Walker (oblique) already sidelined for this game. Jayson Tatum would be a must-have DFS option without Brown or Walker on the court. Marcus Smart, Evan Fournier, and Aaron […]

Kemba Walker Remains Sidelined Sunday

Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker (oblique) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He'll miss his fourth game in a row, but the team continues to call him day-to-day. Marcus Smart, Evan Fournier, and Payton Pritchard will see more minutes on Sunday. Smart is the best fantasy option out of […]

Devonte' Graham Could Miss Another Game

Charlotte Hornets guard Devonte' Graham (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Miami Heat. He was a late scratch from Saturday's contest due to a knee issue. It sounds like he'll test it out pregame and see whether or not he can give it a go. LaMelo Ball and Malik Monk would […]

Mike Yastrzemski Could Return To Action By Friday

San Francisco Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski (oblique) could return to action as early as Friday, according to John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle. Yastrzemski landed on the injured list last week with a right oblique strain, and is eligible to return on Thursday. He is slashing .215/.303/.468 with four home runs, six RBI and […]

Tim Hardaway Jr. Ruled Out For Sunday

Dallas Mavericks guard Tim Hardaway Jr. (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Sacramento Kings. It's the second game of a back-to-back set, so this is likely just the Mavs giving their veteran a day off. Fantasy managers should expect Hardaway to be fine going forward. Josh Richardson, Jalen Brunson, and Trey […]

Aleksej Pokusevski Questionable Against Suns

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Aleksej Pokusevski (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He sat out on Saturday due to a bruised knee and very well could miss this game too. The Thunder have been cautious with injuries, while they tank for draft position. It's hard to imagine anyone on […]

Bobby Portis Late Scratch On Sunday

Milwaukee Bucks center Bobby Portis (illness) is a late scratch from Sunday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. This is unfortunate since Portis has been a decent streaming option lately. It sounds like this is a non-COVID related illness, so hopefully it'll be just a one game absence for Portis. P.J. Tucker will see more minutes […]

Tony Watson Placed On 10-Day IL Sunday

Los Angeles Angels relief pitcher Tony Watson (calf) has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a left calf strain, the team announced on Sunday. Watson has been a solid reliever early this year, going 1-0 with one hold, a 1.08 ERA and six strikeouts in 8 1/3 innings of work. In a corresponding […]

Jose Alvarado Suspended Three Games Over Friday Incident

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Jose Alvarado has been suspended for three games for his actions in Friday's game against the Mets, according to MLB.com's Todd Zolecki. Alvarado got into a shouting match with Mets first baseman Dominic Smith after striking him out on Friday, which led to a benches-clearing incident. Zolecki reports that Alvarado will […]

Marco Gonzales Plays Catch Sunday

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Marco Gonzales (forearm) played catch Sunday, an encouraging sign as he works his way back from the injured list. Manager Scott Servais has stated that the team only expects Gonzales to miss "a few" starts. Whenever a forearm is listed as the cause for an absence, that fairly leads to concern, […]

Luis Robert Diagnosed With Right Hip Flexor Strain

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert (hip) has been diagnosed with a right hip flexor strain, according to The Athletic. Robert exited Sunday's game in the first inning after beating out an infield single and then collapsing to the ground in pain. He had to be helped off the field, and was unable to put […]

Buster Posey Out Of Lineup Against Padres

San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's finale with the Padres. It's just a day off for Posey, who is in the midst of a bounce-back season as he is currently slashing .359/.423/.688 with six home runs, nine RBI and 14 runs scored in 18 games. Curt Casali […]

Charlie Blackmon Gets Day Off Sunday

Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon is out of the lineup for Sunday's finale with the Diamondbacks. It will be just his fourth day off this year, as he is slashing .200/.326/.313 with one home run, 12 RBI and eight runs scored in 24 games. Yonathan Daza will get the start in right Sunday, and he […]

Matt Olson Returns To Lineup Sunday

Oakland Athletics first baseman Matt Olson (eye) is back in the starting lineup for Sunday's finale with the Orioles. It's Olson's first game back since being hit in the eye by a ball that ricocheted into his face in the batting cages on Thursday morning. He will bat cleanup against Baltimore starter Bruce Zimmerman, as […]
