Mitch Haniger Homers In Losing Effort

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger went deep again Sunday night. It was his team-leading seventh home run of the season. Unfortunately for the Mariners, the two-run blast came in the bottom of the ninth inning and still left the team down two runs to the Angels. Haniger has now homered in two straight games, raising […]

Jordan Hicks Leaves Early With Elbow Soreness

St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher Jordan Hicks (elbow) exited Saturday's game with inflammation and soreness in his elbow, according to Ryan Herrera of MLB.com.

Harrison Barnes Likely To Miss Another one

Sacramento Kings forward Harrison Barnes (hip) is unlikely to play on Sunday against the Dallas Mavericks.

With Chimezie Metu (back) also doubtful, the recently-returned Marvin Bagley III could be in line […]

LJay Newsome Has Disastrous First Start

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Ljay Newsome made his first start of the year Saturday night, and it could not have gone worse. Facing the Angels, Newsome allowed eight runs on seven hits and two walks in only two innings of work. He allowed three home runs and struck out one. Newsome had no trouble throwing […]

Darius Garland Doesn’t Suit Up On Saturday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (ankle) didn't play on Saturday against Miami.

DJ Stewart Hits Two-Run Home Run Saturday, Snaps Hitless Streak

Baltimore Orioles outfielder DJ Stewart went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 8-4 win over the A's. Stewart skied a sixth-inning J.B.

Brooklyn Nets guard James Harden (hamstring) isn't close to returning, according to head coach Steve Nash.

Chris Buescher Has Limited Upside At Kansas On Sunday

Chris Buescher has not shown much improvement of late. He has a negative place differential in his last three races. The Roush Fenway Racing driver starts from the 16th position on Sunday for the Buschy McBusch 400. The 1.5-mile track should be a refuge from the heat he has been feeling in the media. He […]

Chase Briscoe Tries To Repeat Run From Last Week On Sunday At Kansas

This race track is not quite as intimidating but Chase Briscoe showed he could scratch, claw, and do whatever it takes to succeed. That result became nearly a top-ten finish as the Stewart-Haas Racing driver finished 11th at Talladega. Briscoe starts from the 19th position this week and maybe off most radars for Sunday. Do […]

Ryan Newman May Just Move Up Again On Sunday At Kansas

Ryan Newman has shown an ability to launch some nice runs in races this season. He has improved his overall track position by nine or more spots five times in 2021. That is quite impressive.

Ross Chastain A Wildcard At Kansas On Sunday

Ross Chastain was able to maintain track position in his last few races but will need to make some moves on Sunday in Kansas. He starts in the 24th position as the Chip Ganassi Racing driver did not rank high enough in the metrics. Now, Chastain did lead 12 laps at Talladega and that could […]

Jesse Winker Doesn’t Play Against Chicago

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Jesse Winker (back) wasn't in the lineup on Saturday against the Chicago Cubs. The veteran departed Friday's matchup with back tightness, and though the ailment doesn't appear too serious at the moment, it is something fantasy managers should keep an eye on ahead of Sunday's series finale. Winker is currently in the […]
