The veteran has played well against Atlanta throughout his career, sporting a 2.73 ERA to go along with seven […]

Rudy Gay Sidelined Versus Pelicans

San Antonio Spurs forward Rudy Gay (quad) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. This isn't a back-to-back situation, but possibly Gay is actually injured. It could be the Spurs just giving their veteran forward a rest day. Regardless, Luka Samanic, Keita Bates-Diop and possibly Drew Eubanks will see more […]

Nicolas Claxton Won't Play Sunday

Brooklyn Nets forward Nicolas Claxton won't suit up for Sunday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He remains out while he follows the league's health and safety guidelines. His absence will mean DeAndre Jordan continues to start, while Jeff Green and Blake Griffin get more action as well. On paper, Jordan should have decent streaming appeal, […]

Diamondbacks-Braves Game Saturday Postponed

The Arizona Diamondbacks-Atlanta Braves game scheduled for Saturday night has been postponed due to inclement weather, according to Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic.

Darcy Kuemper Gets The Nod Against Los Angeles

Arizona Coyotes goalie Darcy Kuemper will be in goal Saturday against Los Angeles. Kuemper last started April 24th versus Minnesota. He allowed four markers on 22 shots on goal. His only start against the Kings was early in the season, which resulted in a shootout loss for Arizona. The Canadian native has battled injuries for […]

Steven Adams Active Against Spurs

New Orleans Pelicans center Steven Adams (ankle) will be available for Saturday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. He was forced to exit early during Thursday's game due to an ankle issue. However, it doesn't sound like it was significant enough to sideline Adams for more than half a game. Jaxson Hayes will lose most […]

Willi Castro Launches First Home Run Of 2021

Detroit Tigers shortstop Willi Castro went yard for the first time this year on Saturday against the Kansas City Royals. He hit a solo shot that produced the only run on the day for the team as they fell to the Royals 2-1. It was his only hit in the game as he went 1-for-3. […]

Jeremy Lamb, Goga Bitadze Out Versus Detroit

Indiana Pacers guard Jeremy Lamb (knee) and center Goga Bitadze (ankle) have been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Detroit Pistons. The good news is, Bitadze was able to get some limited work in on Friday. Hopefully, he'll be able to get back into action soon with the Pacers seriously shorthanded. Doug McDermott will […]

Deivi Garcia Lined Up To Start Monday

New York Yankees starting pitcher Deivi Garcia has been listed as the team's probable starter for Monday's game against the Orioles. Manager Aaron Boone said that Garcia starting is not a 100-percent certainty- but it is lining up that way. The 21-year-old is currently on the taxi squad, so he would have to be called […]

Doug McDermott Available Against Pistons

Indiana Pacers forward Doug McDermott (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against the Detroit Pistons. It's uncertain whether or not McDermott will start or come off the bench with the second unit. Nonetheless, McDermott should see plenty of playing time with the Pacers banged up. He normally isn't a favorable fantasy option, but could have […]

Josh Staumont Earns First Save On Saturday

Kansas City Royals relief pitcher Josh Staumont closed out Saturday's 2-1 win over the Detroit Tigers to earn his first save of the year. He pitched a flawless ninth inning, allowing no hits or walks while striking out two. Staumont has now closed out two straight wins for the Royals, the previous one coming in […]

Rui Hachimura Remains Out Sunday

Washington Wizards forward Rui Hachimura (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. This marks the fourth game in a row that Hachimura has missed due to knee soreness. The fact he was ruled out a full day in advance means he'll likely miss more time. Isaac Bonga and Anthony Gill […]

Jae Crowder Won't Play Sunday

Phoenix Suns forward Jae Crowder (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He suffered an ankle injury on Wednesday and hasn't been able to play since then. The fact Crowder is being ruled out a full day in advance suggest that he could miss more time than just Sunday. Dario […]

Matthew Boyd Tagged With Tough Loss Against Royals

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Matthew Boyd had a strong outing against the Kansas City Royals on Saturday, but unfortunately he wasn't given any run support and earned his second loss on the year. Boyd pitched eight innings and allowed three hits, no walks and two runs (one earned), while striking out three. The Tigers lost […]

Dario Saric Won't Play Sunday

Phoenix Suns forward Dario Saric (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. It's the first game of a back-to-back set, so the Suns will play it safe here. Possibly, Saric will give it another shot on Monday with the Suns being shorthanded at the forward spot. Frank Kaminsky could see […]

Devin Smeltzer Optioned To Alternate Site

Minnesota Twins pitcher Devin Smeltzer was optioned back to the team's alternate site following Saturday's loss to the Pirates. Smeltzer played a key role in the game, pitching 4 2/3 innings of one-run ball- no earned runs- in relief of starter Michael Pineda, who was roughed up for five runs in his outing. The move […]

Evan Longoria Classified As Day-To-Day

San Francisco Giants third baseman Evan Longoria (hamstring) is considered day-to-day. The veteran left Thursday's contest against Miami due to hamstring tightness, and according to manager Gabe Kapler, there is a chance that the 35-year-old may be available at some point off the bench, depending on how he is feeling. However, fantasy managers should keep […]

Richaun Holmes Could Return Sunday

Sacramento Kings center Richaun Holmes (hamstring) was able to fully participate in Saturday's practice. That is two days in a row that Holmes has been able to practice without any issues. There is a good chance that he'll be able to play in Sunday's game against the Golden State Warriors. He could be somewhat limited […]

Jacob Markstrom Likely To Start On Saturday

Calgary Flames netminder Jacob Markstrom is expected to start Saturday against Montreal. Markstrom has been very successful in 2021 against the Canadiens, posting a 6-1-0 record.

The veteran third baseman has now appeared […]

Josh Lindblom To Miss Some Time

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Josh Lindblom (knee) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. This isn't good news for the team as they also announced that veteran lefty Brett Anderson (hamstring) would be joining him. The 33-year-old was having a rough go during the 2021 campaign, sporting a miserable 10.97 ERA. After a rocky […]

Eric Sogard Picks Up Three Hits

Chicago Cubs second baseman Eric Sogard went 3-for-4 with a run scored and three singles in Saturday's loss to the Milwaukee Brewers. Sogard had been platooning with second baseman David Bote, but he is a favorite of manager David Ross and he could see more at-bats with outfielder Joc Pederson (wrist) on the 10-day injured […]

Jason Heyward Hits Second Home Run

Chicago Cubs outfielder Jason Heyward went 1-for-4 with two runs scored and a solo home on Saturday versus the Milwaukee Brewers. Heyward crushed a fastball from Brewers relief pitcher Devin Williams to cut the Brewers lead to one in the bottom of the eighth, but it wasn't enough to take down the Brew Crew. Heyward […]

Adbert Alzolay Pitches Well In Third Start

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Adbert Alzolay performed well in a no decision on Saturday versus the Milwaukee Brewers. Alzolay was recalled prior to the game and it was his first big league action since April 14. Alzolay cruised through the first four innings, but manager David Ross had a short leash on the prospect and […]

Jake Cave Collects A Pair Of Doubles And An RBI

Minnesota Twins outfielder Jake Cave went 2-for-3 with two doubles, an RBI, and a run scored in Saturday's 6-2 loss to Pittsburgh.

Brett Anderson Placed On Injured List

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Brett Anderson (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list.

Anderson was enjoying an efficient season, sporting a 2.65 ERA and a record of two […]

Michael Pineda Charged With Loss Saturday

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Michael Pineda was charged with the loss in Saturday's 6-2 defeat at the hands of the Pirates.

Taylor Trammell Fails To Reach Base Saturday

Seattle Mariners outfielder Taylor Trammell had another tough day at the office Saturday, going 0-for-4 with two strikeouts against the Boston Red Sox. He's now slashing .155/.269/.345 for the season, with only four hits in his last ten games. With Kyle Lewis back in the lineup, Trammell is now fighting for playing time in left […]
