Miguel Cabrera To Be Activated On Sunday

Detroit Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera (biceps) will be activated by Sunday's matchup against the Kansas City Royals.

Johnny Gaudreau Strikes Twice In Calgary Win

Calgary Flames forward Johnny Gaudreau helped his squad defeat Montreal 5-2 on Saturday. The former Boston College Eagle recorded his 16th and 17th markers on the year.

Joc Pederson Not Scheduled For An MRI

Chicago Cubs outfielder Joc Pederson (wrist) does not currently have an MRI scheduled.

Pederson has been dealing with tendinitis in […]

Chris Sale Continues To Make Progress

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Chris Sale (arm) was spotted throwing in the outfield at Fenway Park. The veteran continues to make progress after having Tommy John Surgery back in March of 2020. The former All-Star had a 4.40 ERA in 2019, the worst of his career, and will now head back to Florida to […]

Jose Altuve Still Not Back

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve (illness) did not appear on Saturday against the Angels. The slugger was rumored to return after being out of commission since the middle of April due to COVID-19. Although he is ready to go, he will need to be activated from the injured list before he can be reinserted […]

Jake Odorizzi Leaves Saturday’s Contest

Houston Astros starting pitcher Jake Odorizzi (forearm) was prematurely removed from Saturday's game against the Angels. The 31-year-old threw just five pitches before getting yanked due to forearm tightness. It's obviously not good news for the righty as he spent nearly all of the 2020 campaign dealing with various ailments. Although the severity of Odorizzi's […]

Ross Chastain Could Move Up Sunday Some Spots At Talladega

Ross Chastain may not have a top-ten result at Talladega in four appearances but he has drawn some notice. Chastain started in the mid 30's in every previous race. However, the Chip Ganassi Racing driver begins the Geico 500 18th. Consider that Chastian has enjoyed double-digit place improvements every race at Talladega, he is one […]

Carlos Correa Will Rest On Sunday

Houston Astros shortstop Carlos Correa will not play on Sunday. The veteran will get the day off to rest as the team closes out the series against the Los Angeles Angels. Correa is having a respectable 2021 campaign, producing a .267 average to go along with 20 hits (four doubles), 10 RBI, and three homers. […]

Bubba Wallace Expects Not To Be Factor At Talladega

Bubba Wallace is still learning his race car and how it runs on various tracks. Sunday is another chance for the 23XI Racing driver to hopefully gain some racing experience. Wallace does have two occasions where he improved his place differential by nine spots. However, at superspeedways, Wallace has basically on average maintained track position. […]

Erik Jones A Very Nice DFS Value Option On Sunday At Talladega

Erik Jones has had a few top-ten finishes this season. However, some may be surprised how well Jones has performed at Talladega. The Richard Petty Motorsports driver nearly won the Fall race on the superspeedway. He finished second after starting 16th. With two double-digit place differentials and top-five results to boot, Jones even led 13 […]

Chase Briscoe Possesses Little DFS Upside At Talladega

Chase Briscoe will get his first lesson at Talladega on the big stage Sunday. The Stewart-Haas Racing driver has not finished in the top ten or even 15 all season. Also, Briscoe has not finished on the lead lap in his previous four races. That does not bode well at the superspeedway. The only bright […]

Kurt Busch May Surprise At Talladega Once Again

Kurt Busch has had a mixed bag of results at the Talladega Superspeedway. He goes into the Geico 500 enduring one tough season with no wins and not that close to a win on the season. At least, he has consecutive top-ten results from the Spring race. The Chip Ganassi Racing driver has three DNF's […]

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Shows DFS Potential At Talladega

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. has a pretty solid history at Talladega and with two-plus mile speedway in general. Both of his career wins came on these tracks. In 15 races at the Talladega Superspeedway, the JTG Daugherty Racing driver had nine top-ten results and six top-five finishes. That includes a second-place result last Spring. Yes, Stenhouse […]

De’Aaron Fox Out For At Least Two Weeks

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox will miss 10-14 days due to health and safety protocols surrounding COVID-19. The 23-year-old has been on a roll this season, and his absence isn't good news for a team that has struggled. In his stead, look for Delon Wright to see some more minutes moving ahead.

Nick Madrigal Hits Walk-Off Double

Chicago White Sox second baseman Nick Madrigal went 1-for-4 with a walk-off RBI double on Saturday versus the Texas Rangers. Madrigal has been great at making contact this season and has a minimum of one hit in all but four games this season. Madrigal will help managers seeking hits and batting average, but he doesn't […]

James Ennis III May Be In The Lineup On Sunday

Orlando Magic forward James Ennis III (calf) may play on Sunday against the Pacers. The veteran has been dealing with soreness in his right calf, an injury that has caused him to miss his previous three games. If he does return against Indiana, he will be battling for minutes with R.J. Hampton and Gary Harris.

Randal Grichuk Homers For Third Time In Four Games

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Randal Grichuk provided the only offense for his club in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Rays. He belted a three-run homer off Brent Honeywell in the first as he finished the game going 1-for-3 with a walk. Grichuk now has four bombs on the season, including three in his last four […]

Lucas Giolito Has Start Pushed Back To Tuesday

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Lucas Giolito has had his scheduled start on Sunday pushed back to Tuesday. Giolito cut his middle finger when he thought a glass water bottle was a twist off and it wasn't. Giolito is coming off of a rare brutal start against the Red Sox on Monday, but he will […]

Jaren Jackson Jr. To Rest Against Portland

Memphis Grizzlies forward Jaren Jackson Jr. (injury management) will sit out on Sunday against Portland. The 21-year-old will get the game off to rest as he continues to work his way back from a torn meniscus. With the team also potentially without Jonas Valanciunas (concussion), Xavier Tillman Sr. and Brandon Clarke may be doing most […]

Rougned Odor Belts Third Homer

New York Yankees second baseman Rougned Odor belted his second homer in as many days in Saturday's victory over the Indians. Odor gave the Yankees the lead after an Aaron Hicks homer tied the game in the fifth inning- and that was all the offense they would need with Gerrit Cole on the mound. His […]

Robbie Ray Strikes Out Nine Rays

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Robbie Ray struck out nine and issued no free passes in Saturday's no-decision loss to the Tampa Bay Rays. The southpaw was impressive in this one as he hit 98.3 MPH on the gun with his fastball while allowing just six hits through six frames, but a pair of long […]

Jonathan Loaisiga Earns First Career Save

New York Yankees relief pitcher Jonathan Loaisiga earned the first save of his career in Saturday's 2-1 victory over the Indians. Loaisiga entered the game in the eighth inning with two outs and got Ahmed Rosario to pop up on his second pitch before working a 1-2-3, 10-pitch ninth inning for his first career save. […]

Michael Kopech Will Start On Sunday

Chicago White Sox manager Tony La Russa has announced that pitcher Michael Kopech will start Sunday's game versus the Texas Rangers. Kopech has been dominant out of the bullpen this year, but his last appearance was as an opener versus the Boston Red Sox last Sunday. In that outing, Kopech went three innings and allowed […]
