Neville Hewitt Visits With Texans

New York Jets unrestricted free-agent linebacker Neville Hewitt visited with the Houston Texans on Thursday, according to a source. The Texans have signed more free agents this offseason than any other team, but they may be adding to that list with Hewitt. He led the Jets with 134 tackles (six for loss) and added two […]

Randal Grichuk Drives In Five Versus Athletics

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Randal Grichuk kept his torrid start to the season going on Thursday, driving in five runs in the club's 10-4 win over the Athletics. He took starter Mike Fiers deep in the third inning for a three-run shot before cashing in a pair on a double in the sixth as he […]

Jaylen Brown Remains Out Against Chicago

Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown (ankle) is out again on Friday against the Chicago Bulls. Brown suffered a right ankle sprain about a week ago, an injury that caused him to miss Wednesday night's outing against the Orlando Magic. Without him, look for Jayson Tatum and Kemba Walker to carry the load offensively, with Evan […]

Colton Welker Suspended 80 Games

Colorado Rockies third base prospect Colton Welker received an 80-game suspension from Major League Baseball on Thursday for testing positive for a performance-enhancing substance. The suspension is effectively immediately. Welker is listed as the Rockies' No. 11 prospect, per MLB Pipeline. It's a significant setback in terms of his development after the minor league seasons […]

Hyun-Jin Ryu Earns Win In Shaky Start

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Hyun-Jin Ryu improved to 2-2 on the season in the team's 10-4 win over the Athletics on Thursday. It wasn't the most impressive outing for the veteran as he surrendered four runs on six hits and a walk through five frames, but the Jays bats came alive to help him […]

Nickeil Alexander-Walker Questionable On Friday Night

New Orleans Pelicans guard Nickeil Alexander-Walker (ankle) is questionable for Friday night's matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers. The 22-year-old has missed over a month after suffering a high ankle sprain at the beginning of April. If he did suit up, he would likely face a minutes restriction. However, his presence would still have an impact […]

Isiah Kiner-Falefa Gets On Base Three Times

Texas Rangers shortstop Isiah Kiner-Falefa had a solid game during the club's 4-3 extra-inning victory against the Minnesota Twins on Thursday. He went 2-for-3 with two singles and a walk. Kiner-Falefa recently had a six-game hitting streak broken and was hitless over his last two contests prior to Thursday. The catcher-turned-shortstop isn't flashy, but he […]

Francisco Lindor Breaks Hitless Streak Thursday

New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor ended an 0-for-26 slide at the plate with a hard-hit single in the team's 4-1 win over the St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday. Lindor finished 1-for-3 at the plate with a run scored, three walks and a strikeout. He's now hitting .163/.297/.207 on the season with just one home […]

Steven Adams Unlikely To Play On Friday Night

New Orleans Pelicans center Steven Adams (toe) isn't expected to play during Friday's matchup against Philadelphia. The veteran continues to deal with a right great toe strain, an injury that forced him to miss three games before he was limited to 23 minutes the other night against Golden State. Willy Hernangomez should slide back into […]

Zack Wheeler Tosses Another Complete-Game Shutout

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Zack Wheeler (3-2) threw his second complete-game shutout of the season on Thursday to help his team beat the Milwaukee Brewers 2-0. The right-hander was masterful on the day, allowing just three hits while striking out eight and walking none in nine innings to drop his season ERA to 2.83. Wheeler […]

Josh Sborz Records First Save

Texas Rangers pitcher Josh Sborz recorded his first save of the season during the club's 4-3 extra-inning victory against the Minnesota Twins on Thursday. The right-hander, who had previously been demoted to the minors, gave closer Ian Kennedy the night off. Kennedy, who has nine saves on the season, had appeared in four games in […]

William Smith Shuts Door For Seventh Save

Atlanta Braves pitcher William Smith shut the door in the ninth inning of the club's 3-2 victory against the Washington Nationals on Thursday. The veteran right-hander allowed one hit -- a double to veteran Ryan Zimmerman -- and struck out a batter in an otherwise uneventful inning. He threw nine of his 13 pitches for […]

Drew Smyly Avoids Long Ball, Records First Win

Atlanta Braves pitcher Drew Smyly didn't pitch a perfect game on Thursday but he had a small victory by conquering the home-run demons — at least for one start. The veteran lefty did not allow a home run during the game after being bitten by the long-ball bug nine times during his first five starts. […]

Marcell Ozuna Has Another Extra-Base Knock

Atlanta Braves outfielder Marcell Ozuna went 1-for-4 with the club's only extra-base hit of the game during the club's 3-2 victory over the Washington Nationals on Thursday. The veteran outfielder had a sluggish start to the season but he's been showing signs of shaking off the rust over the past week or two. Ozuna slugged […]

Brandon Woodruff Strikes out 11 In Loss

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Brandon Woodruff (2-1) struck out 10 over the first five innings -- 11 total over 6 2/3 innings -- and allowed only Odubel Herrera's single in the second until Alec Bohm took him deep. Brewers team trainer came and briefly looked at Woodruff in the first inning but Woodruff remained in […]

Welcome back, RotoBallers, to another edition of my Counter Strike: Global Offensive DFS picks.  I have been focusing on the NHL and a little bit of MLB but as we get closer to the summer months, we could see some really good CSGO tournaments pop up which means great DFS tournaments to play! As always, […]

Edwin Diaz Picks Up His Fourth Save Of 2021

New York Mets closer Edwin Diaz picked up his fourth save of the season on Thursday in the Mets' 4-1 win over the Cardinals in St. Louis. In his one inning of work, Diaz did allow two hits but managed to strand both baserunners in securing the win. Although he didn't strike anyone out on […]

Trevor May Throws Another Clean Inning In Mets Win

New York Mets relief pitcher Trevor May threw a clean eighth inning in the Mets' 4-1 win over the Cardinals on Thursday. Over his one inning of work, May recorded two strikeouts, did not allow a base runner, and picked up his second hold of the season. After an inauspicious debut with the Mets back […]

Taijuan Walker Dominant On Thursday

New York Mets starting pitcher Taijuan Walker dominated the Cardinals on Thursday en route to his second win of the season in the Mets' 4-1 victory. Walker went seven innings, allowing only one hit and one unearned run while striking out eight. It was, without question, Walker's best start of the young 2021 campaign. He […]

David Price Throwing Off A Mound

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher David Price (hamstring) has resumed throwing off a mound. The southpaw was put on the 10-day injured list about a week ago after straining his right hamstring. This is a step in the right direction for the 35-year-old, although he may miss another week or two before rejoining the rotation. Price […]

Furkan Korkmaz Ruled Out For Friday

Philadelphia 76ers forward Furkan Korkmaz (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He'll miss his second straight game after suffering an ankle injury on Monday. It's unclear how long Korkmaz will be sidelined, but it shouldn't make a huge impact to the Sixers rotation. Tyrese Maxey and Matisse Thybulle […]

Joe Kelly Activated On Thursday

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Joe Kelly (shoulder) has been activated by the team. In November, the righty had surgery to address a right shoulder cyst and is a welcome addition to a rotation that has been plagued by injuries this season. Kelly had a 1.80 ERA throughout 12 regular-season appearances in 2020. However, outside […]

Kristaps Porzingis Not Expected To Play Friday

Dallas Mavericks center Kristaps Porzingis (knee) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Head coach Rick Carlisle mentioned that Porzingis is making progress with his knee injury, but it's uncertain when he'll be back in the lineup. In the meantime, Maxi Kleber, Willie Cauley-Stein, and Dwight Powell will be asked to […]

Devonte' Graham Ruled Out Thursday

Charlotte Hornets guard Devonte' Graham (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He was listed as doubtful coming into this game, so this shouldn't come as a shock to anyone. His absence will mean more playing time for LaMelo Ball and Terry Rozier. Both players are possible DFS options, but […]

Aaron Hicks Dealt With Cramps During Thursday's Game

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks dealt with cramps in both legs during Thursday's loss to the Astros. Hicks had a three-hit day at the plate, driving in and scoring a run while drawing a walk. He was trying to stretch out his legs after reaching on an infield single in the eighth inning- and […]

Miguel Andujar To Take On Versatile Role In Minors

New York Yankees infielder/outfielder Miguel Andujar is playing multiple positions for the Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders, including left field. Andujar saw some reps at first base and has started each of the last two games for the RailRiders in left, as the Yankees are clearly trying to think of as many ways as possible to get […]

Gary Trent Jr. Available Versus Wizards

Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. (leg) is available for Thursday's game against the Washington Wizards. The Raptors could use Trent with Kyle Lowry (rest) and Yuta Watanabe (ankle) both sidelined. However, there is a good chance that Toronto limits Trent due to his ankle issue. Toronto needs this win to stay in the playoff […]

Killian Hayes Officially Out On Thursday

Detroit Pistons guard Killian Hayes (illness) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. The young guard was questionable throughout the day, but it appears the team is going to take the cautious approach here. Cory Joseph should have plenty of streaming appeal without Hayes available. However, he could be somewhat risky […]

Taylor Rogers Fans Four Rangers

Minnesota Twins relief pitcher Taylor Rogers was lights-out in a non-save situation on Thursday, despite his team's loss. Rogers entered the game in the top of the eighth inning and proceeded to strike out each of the four batters he faced on just 15 pitches. The southpaw threw 13 of those pitches for strikes and […]
