Jake Cronenworth, Victor Caratini Get Night Off Wednesday

San Diego Padres second baseman Jake Cronenworth and catcher Victor Caratini are both getting the night off on Wednesday. Caratini had played in eight of the team's last 10 games, while Wednesday marks just the second time this year Cronenworth is out of the lineup. Through 25 games this season, Cronenworth is hitting .253 with […]

Mason Plumlee Sidelined On Thursday

Detroit Pistons center Mason Plumlee (rest) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. It's not a back-to-back set, but the Pistons want to get their younger players more minutes. At this point, Plumlee is likely going to see a lot of rest days in the future. Isaiah Stewart will be asked […]

Kevin Labanc Ready To Return On Wednesday

San Jose Sharks winger Kevin Labanc (upper body) will be back on the ice Wednesday night against Arizona, after missing Monday's 6-4 win over the Coyotes. Labanc, who has 10 goals and 25 points for the year, will skate on the third line with Alexander True and Noah Gregor. The 25-year-old is in the midst […]

Kelly Oubre Jr. Expected To Sit Out Thursday

Golden State Warriors forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (wrist) is listed as doubtful for Thursday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He has been dealing with left wrist soreness for quite a while now, so it wouldn't be shocking to see the Warriors give him the day off. Jordan Poole would be asked to pick up the […]

Yordan Alvarez Placed On IL Wednesday

Houston Astros designated hitter Yordan Alvarez was placed on the injured list on Wednesday, according to MLB.com's Brian McTaggart. It was reported earlier in the day that Alvarez would not be in Wednesday's lineup for "health and safety reasons," and now his move to the IL allows the team to gain an additional bat on […]

Zach LaVine Might Miss Another Week

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine could miss another miss or so, according to head coach Billy Donovan. He missed all of the road trip while following the NBA's health and safety guidelines. It sounds like he'll be sidelined at least the next two or three games. In the meantime, Coby White will benefit the most […]

Marc-Andre Fleury Set To Get The Nod Wednesday Night

Vegas Golden Knights goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury looks set for his 32nd start of the campaign in Wednesday's home outing against Colorado. The Knights are going for their 10th win in a row and Fleury is looking to stretch his personal winning streak to five games. The veteran netminder carries a 21-10-0 record with a 2.09 […]

Derrick White Likely Done For The Season

San Antonio Spurs guard Derrick White (ankle) is not expected to play in the final 12 games of the regular season, according to head coach Gregg Popovich. He suffered a sprained ankle on Monday, so the Spurs are going to play it safe and let him rest. Devin Vassell will move into the starting five […]

Devin Vassell Starting Against Heat

San Antonio Spurs forward Devin Vassell will move into the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Miami Heat. The young forward could see more starts coming his way with Derrick White (ankle) likely done for the season. He has some nice upside and is worth a punt-play in DFS contests on Wednesday.

Reilly Smith Could Play On Wednesday

Vegas Golden Knights right wing Reilly Smith (undisclosed) is close to returning to action and is listed as a game-time decision for Wednesday's meeting with Colorado. The 30-year-old hasn't played since a 5-2 win over Anaheim on April 18. Alex Tuch and Mattias Janmark have shared minutes in his usual spot on the second line, […]

James Johnson Will Play Limited Minutes

New Orleans Pelicans forward James Johnson (groin) will suit up for Wednesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. However, Johnson will be on a minutes limit while he continues to battle with a lingering groin issue. Naji Marshall won't be much of a fantasy option with Johnson back in the rotation. Johnson won't be a great […]

Steven Adams Available Against Denver

New Orleans Pelicans center Steven Adams (toe) is available for Wednesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. It sounds like he'll in the starting lineup despite dealing with a minor toe issue. Both Willy Hernangomez and Jaxson Hayes will lose value with Adams suiting up for this one.

White Sox-Tigers Game Wednesday Postponed

Wednesday night's game between the White Sox and the Tigers has been postponed due to inclement weather, the White Sox announced on Twitter. The game will be made up as part of a doubleheader on Thursday, with Game 1 beginning at 5:10 pm ET. Managers should adjust their lineups accordingly.

Mike Smith Looks To Continue Dominance Over Winnipeg

Edmonton Oilers goaltender Mike Smith will get a very favorable matchup on Wednesday as his squad visits the Jets, against whom the veteran netminder has posted four consecutive wins this season.

Connor Hellebuyck Looks To End Losing Run Versus Oilers

Winnipeg Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck will guard the cage against the Oilers on Wednesday, looking to put a stop to a four-game losing streak. The 27-year-old American has taken two losses from Edmonton during his current streak and was lit up by Connor McDavid's gang on Monday night in a 6-1 loss. Hellebuyck's record for […]

Jack Campbell Faces Montreal On Wednesday

Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Jack Campbell will face Montreal in his 17th start of the campaign on Wednesday. Frederik Andersen (lower body) has returned to practice but still needs some more time to get game-ready, which provides Campbell a further opportunity to impress. The 29-year-old carries a very strong 13-2-1 record for the season with […]

Jake Allen Takes On Toronto Wednesday Night

Montreal Canadiens goaltender Jake Allen will make his 22nd start of the season in Wednesday's matchup against the Toronto Maple Leafs. The 30-year-old is looking to post a second consecutive win, after beating Calgary on Monday 2-1 with 21 saves. Allen carries a 9-9-4 record for the season with a 2.49 goals-against average and a […]

Mitch Haniger A Late Scratch Wednesday

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger was a late scratch Wednesday against the Houston Astros. Originally set to lead off and play right field, Haniger was replaced in the lineup by Jose Marmolejos. Second baseman Sam Haggerty was shifted into the leadoff slot. No reason has been given as of yet for the change, but fantasy […]

Jonathan Drouin Takes Indefinite Leave Of Absence

Montreal Canadiens forward Jonathan Drouin, who hasn't played since April 21, will be out indefinitely after he was granted a leave of absence and was placed on Long-Term Injured Reserve by the team. Drouin had been out with a non-COVID related illness. It looks unlikely that the skillful forward will return to the ice during […]

Alexander True Makes Third NHL Appearance on Wednesday

San Jose Sharks forward Alexander True will be playing in his third NHL game on Wednesday against Arizona. True has yet to record a National Hockey League point. He has been with the Sharks AHL affiliate, the San Jose Barracuda. He sits in second in points on the Barracuda with nine goals and 11 assists […]

Devan Dubnyk Minds The Crease On Wednesday

Colorado Avalanche Goalie Devan Dubnyk will be protecting the Avalanche crease against Vegas on Wednesday. Since joining Colorado, the former San Jose goalie sports a 2-1-0 record with a .900 save percentage and a 3.04 goals-against average. Against Vegas this year, while playing for the Sharks, the veteran netminder lost all four outings. If a […]

Quinton Byfield Will Make His NHL Debut for Los Angeles

Los Angeles Kings forward Quinton Byfield will make his first NHL appearance on Wednesday versus in-state rival Anaheim. Byfield was the number two pick in this year's draft. He will center the Kings third line. The rookie has eight goals and 12 assists in 30 games playing for Los Angeles AHL affiliate the Ontario Reign.

Max Stassi Activated From Injured List Wednesday

Los Angeles Angels catcher Max Stassi (thumb) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list on Wednesday. Stassi was dealing with a sprained left thumb, though manager Joe Maddon had said that he was close on Monday- so the move isn't too surprising. The veteran catcher is batting ninth against Rangers' right-hander Dane Dunning. Stassi was […]

Darcy Kuemper Between The Pipes Wednesday

Arizona Coyotes goalie Darcy Kuemper will start on Wednesday in San Jose. Kuemper is 0-1-1 versus the Sharks in the 2021 campaign, where he allowed seven goals on 46 shots.

Tommy Pham Remains Out Wednesday

San Diego Padres outfielder Tommy Pham (calf) remains out of the lineup Wednesday. Pham was available to come off the bench in yesterday's game, though he's not yet ready to rejoin the starting nine. It makes sense that the Padres want to play it safe with the veteran outfielder, given the team's scheduled off-day on […]

Justin Upton, Albert Pujols Not In Wednesday's Lineup

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Justin Upton and first baseman Albert Pujols are not in Wednesday's lineup for the game against the Rangers. Manager Joe Maddon indicated that both veteran players are getting the day off, per Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic. Pujols and Upton have been fast out of the gate in terms of their […]

Aaron Judge, Gary Sanchez Absent From Wednesday's Lineup

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge and catcher Gary Sanchez are not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles. Manager Aaron Boone had said that Judge would have to sit for a game or two, as he's dealing with lower-body soreness from travel and appearing in eight straight games. The team hopes the […]

Kole Calhoun Placed On 10-Day Injured List

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Kole Calhoun (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday with a strained right hamstring. Calhoun was forced to leave Tuesday's game after grabbing his leg while attempting to steal a base, and the veteran outfielder will have to miss time as a result. It's a tough break for Calhoun, […]

Taylor Widener Headed To Injured List

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Taylor Widener (groin) was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday. Widener was the team's probable starter for their game against the Padres but was surprisingly scratched from his start and promptly placed on the injured list. It's not quite clear when he sustained the injury, though it's clearly a serious […]
