Miles Mikolas Faced Live Hitters On Sunday

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Miles Mikolas (shoulder) faced live batters on Sunday in a simulated game/live batting practice scenario.

He'll pitch another live batting practice soon and mix in some breaking balls as well, then […]

Harrison Bader Cleared For Live Batting Practice

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Harrison Bader (forearm) has been officially cleared to take live batting practice.

It's unclear just how much more time Bader will spend […]

Tyler O'Neill Expected Back On Friday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill (groin) is expected to be ready to be activated from the injured list on Friday. O'Neill has reportedly been sprinting and also hit home runs in each of his last two simulated games. It's unclear just how much playing time O'Neill will return to, but he's a guy that […]

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Nick Castellanos had his appeal for a two-game suspension denied by MLB on Monday.

MLB called his actions "aggressive" and pointed […]

Miami Marlins outfielder Starling Marte (rib) will be placed on the injured list with a non-displaced fracture in his 12th rib (left side). Marte was forced to leave Sunday's game in the middle of an at bat but it was unclear what he was dealing with at that time. An MRI on Monday revealed the […]

Garrett Whitlock Continues Scoreless Streak

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Garrett Whitlock threw 2 2/3 more scoreless innings on Monday, extending his scoreless streak to nine innings on the season.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 20% of leagues ANALYSIS: Detroit Tigers first baseman/third baseman Jeimer Candelario has picked up right where he left off in 2020, which was his most productive season as a pro to date.

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (abdomen) is considered day-to-day with a mild abdominal strain. Acuna received an MRI on Monday afternoon, which didn't reveal anything more than a mild strain of his abdomen, a positive sign for both the Braves and his fantasy managers. Still, given the injuries the Braves are dealing with, it […]

Lucas Giolito Obliterated In Monday’s Start

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Lucas Giolito got roughed up in Monday's start versus the Boston Red Sox. Giolito gave up a home run to the first batter he faced, infielder Enrique Hernandez and it went downhill from there. Giolito faced 11 batters and threw 47 pitches in the bottom of the first inning and […]

Isaiah Roby Ruled Out For Monday

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Isaiah Roby (toe) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Washington Wizards. It's the second game of a back-to-back set, so it's not shocking to see Roby sidelined. The Thunder continue to tank, so this seems to be the new normal for them. Darius Bazley and Aleksej Pokusevski will […]

Ben Simmons Could Sit Against Warriors

Philadelphia 76ers guard Ben Simmons (illness) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Golden State Warriors. He is dealing with a non-COVID related illness, so he shouldn't miss much time if any at all. His absence would mean more minutes for Shake Milton and Tyrese Maxey. Milton is the better option between the […]

Jimmy Butler Might Miss Monday's Game

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Houston Rockets. He sat out of Sunday's contest and it wouldn't be shocking to see Butler out against the tanking Rockets. Bam Adebayo (knee) has already been ruled out alongside Tyler Herro (foot) for Monday's contest. Kendrick Nunn is looking […]

Marcus Smart Could Sit Versus Bulls

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (illness) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He is dealing with a non-COVID related illness, so he should be fine to play soon.

Jeremy Lamb, Doug McDermott Questionable For Monday

Indiana Pacers guard Jeremy Lamb (knee) and forward Doug McDermott (ankle) are listed as questionable for Monday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Lamb has been banged up seemingly all season long, so this could be a potential rest game for him. McDermott has missed three games in a row, but is still considered day-to-day. […]

Luguentz Dort Won't Play Monday

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Luguentz Dort (hip) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Washington Wizards. It's the second game of a back-to-back set, so it's more of a rest day than anything else. Dort has been playing incredible lately, so he's worth rostering even with rest days. Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk and Ty Jerome […]

Domantas Sabonis, Myles Turner Questionable For Monday

Indiana Pacers forward Domantas Sabonis (back) and center Myles Turner (toe) are listed as questionable for Monday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. It's the second game of a back-to-back set, so it wouldn't be shocking to see the Pacers rest a few veteran players. Losing both players would be a significant blow to the […]

Terrence Ross Won't Play In Tuesday's Contest

Orlando Magic guard Terrence Ross (back) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. It is not a good sign when a player gets ruled out a full day in advance. Although, the Magic don't have much incentive to rush him out there at less than 100 percent. R.J. Hampton and Gary […]
