Jeremy Lamb May Sit Against Orlando

Indiana Pacers guard Jeremy Lamb (knee) is questionable for Sunday's encounter against the Orlando Magic. The veteran continues to battle soreness in his left knee, and if he isn't able to go once again, Edmond Sumner and T.J. McConnell will likely continue to see additional run. Both men should be considered viable fantasy options for […]

No Major Issues For Christian Yelich

An MRI on Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich's back showed no major issues. He has not played since April 11 and was eligible to return from the injured list on Saturday, but the 2018 National League MVP was sent back to Milwaukee because manager Craig Counsell said that Yelich had hit a "plateau" in his […]

Doug McDermott May Sit Against Orlando

Indiana Pacers forward Doug McDermott (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's contest against the Orlando Magic. The veteran was flirting with the same designation on Saturday leading up to the matchup against Detroit but was still able to suit up and finish with 18 points. With the team down Myles Turner (toe), Domantas Sabonis (back), and […]

Lions Open To Trading No. 7 Pick

Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes said the franchise is open to trading the No. 7 overall pick in the first round of next week's NFL draft. Detroit has entered a complete rebuild after finishing 5-11 and last in overall team defense in 2020. The Lions are trying to build depth on both sides of […]

Wendell Carter Jr. Still Questionable Against Pacers

Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. (ankle) is still questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Indiana Pacers. The sophomore big man continues to deal with right ankle soreness and wasn't in the lineup on Thursday against the New Orleans Pelicans. If Carter doesn't play, look for Mo Bamba to handle the duties in the middle […]

Cornerback A Position Of Need For Saints

New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton said this week that cornerback is a position that the team must address between now and the start of the 2021 season. The Saints lost defensive linemen Trey Hendrickson and Sheldon Rankins this offseason, but the departure of cornerback Janoris Jenkins might've been the most significant defensive loss. […]

Domantas Sabonis Remains Out Against Orlando

Indiana Pacers forward Domantas Sabonis (back) remains out on Sunday against Orlando. The 24-year-old has missed his previous three contests due to lower back tightness, and with Myles Turner (toe) also out and Goga Bitadze (ankle) questionable, the team may be shorthanded underneath the rim. If Bitadze sits once again, look for Oshae Brissett and […]

Nomar Mazara Nearing Rehab Assignment

Detroit Tigers general manager Al Avila said that the team is hoping outfielder Nomar Mazara (abdomen) can go on a rehab assignment when Triple-A Toledo's season starts on May 4. Mazara would then rejoin the Tigers shortly after that, around May 9-10. In 12 games before his injury this season, Mazara was hitting .237/.275/.395 with […]

Clint Capela Remains Questionable Against The Bucks

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (back) remains questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against Milwaukee. The 26-year-old took a fall during the week and continues to deal with a bruise on his back. If Capela is out of the lineup once again, look for Onyeka Okongwu to get the start. However, outside of some rebounds and […]

Kyle Cody Placed On 10-Day Injured List

Texas Rangers pitcher Kyle Cody (shoulder) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Saturday. Cody is dealing with right shoulder inflammation.

Rui Hachimura To Miss Another Game

Washington Wizards forward Rui Hachimura (knee) will not play on Sunday against Cleveland. The 23-year-old will now miss his fourth straight contest while tending to soreness in his left knee. Look for Davis Bertans and Daniel Gafford to benefit, although both are risky options from a fantasy standpoint due to their inconsistency on the scoring […]

Chargers Expected To Address Left Tackle In First Round

The Los Angeles Chargers are expected to draft a left tackle with the No. 13 overall pick in the first round of next week's NFL draft. Second-year quarterback Justin Herbert, who won Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2020, is hoping the Chargers will be able to select his college teammate Penei Sewell, although the […]

Sean Manaea To Start On Monday

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Sean Manaea will start the opening game of the series against the Rays on Monday. Manager Bob Melvin said that Mike Fiers could also pitch in the series- but that he'd have a better idea of the order following Sunday's contest. Manaea has looked good for the Athletics so far, pitching […]

Collin Sexton Won’t Play Against Washington

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Collin Sexton (head) won't play on Sunday against the Wizards. The 22-year-old is currently dealing with a concussion, so his absence will likely extend beyond the fantasy-friendly matchup against Washington. Darius Garland should see an increase in usage and differential, while Cedi Osman and Jarrett Allen should also benefit on the scoring […]

Fernando Tatis Jr. Smashes Two More Homers

San Diego Padres shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. walloped two more homers Saturday against the Los Angeles Dodgers in five at-bats. El Niño opened the game with a leadoff job against starter Trevor Bauer and followed up with another solo dinger off Bauer in the sixth frame. With four homers in his past two contests, Tatis […]

Kevin Durant Available Against Phoenix

Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant (thigh) is listed as available ahead of Sunday's matchup against Phoenix. The former MVP had been riding a probable tag on Saturday, so his availability shouldn't come as a surprise. Durant has missed the previous three contests while dealing with a bruise on his left thigh, and even though a […]

Ravens To Visit With Dennis Kelly

The Baltimore Ravens are scheduled to visit with former Tennessee Titans offensive tackle Dennis Kelly this weekend, according to a source. It comes after the team traded offensive tackle Orlando Brown to the Kansas City Chiefs earlier this week in exchange for a handful of 2021 and 2022 draft picks, including KC's first-round pick this […]

Noah Syndergaard Facing Live Hitters

New York Mets starting pitcher Noah Syndergaard (elbow) faced live hitters in an intrasquad game at Port St. Lucie on Saturday. Syndergaard's fastball was clocked at 97 mph, and he was able to throw all of his pitches in the one-inning outing. The final hurdle for the 28-year-old righty is building up to a starter's workload, […]

Juan Soto Able To Take Swings Saturday

Washington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto (shoulder) was able to hit off of a tee on Saturday. Soto was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left shoulder strain, though it wasn't believed to be a serious ailment, with the team wanting to play things safe with their superstar. He looks to be in line […]

Wil Myers Snags Three Bags Against Blue Crew

San Diego Padres outfielder Wil Myers went 1-for-4 with three stolen bases and a run scored Saturday against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Myers continues to demonstrate his power/speed fantasy appeal with a 78th percentile barrel rate and 90 percentile sprint speed, culminating into four homers and steals apiece through 80 plate appearances. He's also added […]

Lorenzo Cain Making Progress

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Lorenzo Cain (quad) is nearing a return, per manager Craig Counsell. Cain is building up his activity- as he was able to do pregame work on the field each of the last two days. The veteran outfielder remains without a timetable for his return, though Counsel said that he's "very close." Cain […]

Jose Altuve Expected To Return Early Next Week

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve is expected to make his return to the lineup early next week, per manager Dusty Baker. Altuve has been sidelined since mid-April on the COVID-19 injured list, as he was behind his teammates and unable to clear the protocols. The star infielder has been able to ramp up his […]

Mitch Garver Back In The Lineup Sunday

Minnesota Twins catcher Mitch Garver is back in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates after getting a breather on Saturday. Garver will bat seventh against Pirates' right-hander Wil Crowe. The veteran backstop is in the midst of a slump, but the matchup against Crowe is favorable, given his 20.7 percent barrel rate in […]

Mike Moustakas Putting In Pregame Work

Cincinnati Reds infielder Mike Moustakas (illness) is taking pregame reps at third base on Sunday. Moustakas, who has been on the 10-day injured list with a non-COVID-related illness, has been able to ramp up his activity over the last few days and seems to be inching closer to a return. The veteran infielder was off […]

Carlos Correa Gets Day Off Sunday

Houston Astros shortstop Carlos Correa is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels. It's a day off for Correa, who has appeared in all 20 of the team's games to start the season. He's looked much better at the plate than in 2020, as he is currently slashing .284/.330/.481 with four […]

Mike Trout Not In Lineup For Third Straight Game

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (elbow) is not in the lineup for the third game in a row on Sunday. Trout has been out since being hit by a pitch on his elbow, but it is not believed to be serious enough to warrant a stint on the injured list. Jeff Fletcher of the […]

Clint Frazier, Aaron Hicks Not In Starting Lineup Sunday

New York Yankees outfielders Clint Frazier and Aaron Hicks are not in the starting lineup for Sunday's contest against the Indians. It's a day off for the two outfielders, who have both struggled early on with Frazier slashing .149/.286/.191 in 16 games, while Hicks has slashed .172/.274/.328 in 18 games. Hopefully the day off will […]

DJ LeMahieu Gets Day Off Sunday

New York Yankees second baseman DJ LeMahieu is getting the day off on Sunday against the Indians. It's just his second day off this year, as he has gotten off to an OK start with a .260/.337/.351 triple-slash line with one home run and six RBI in 19 games. He had started at first base […]

Alex Verdugo Gets Day Off On Sunday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Alex Verdugo is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners. It's just the third day off Verdugo has had this year, as he has gotten off to a great start by slashing .325/.371/.538 with three home runs, 13 RBI and two steals in 21 games. With Verdugo […]

Taylor Trammell Gets Day Off Sunday

Seattle Mariners outfielder Taylor Trammell will get a day off on Sunday, sitting out the contest against Boston. Managers will hope that this rest can get Trammell back on track, as he is slashing .155/.269/.345 with three home runs, nine RBI and leads the American League with 28 strikeouts over 18 games. He will likely […]
