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.

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 […]

Jonas Valanciunas Remains Questionable

Memphis Grizzlies center Jonas Valanciunas (concussion) has a chance to play on Sunday against Portland. The veteran remains in concussion protocol, and as a result, he has missed the team's previous three games. With Jaren Jackson Jr. (injury management) out, the Grizzlies could be shorthanded underneath the basket, a void that may be filled by […]

Liam Hendriks Blows Second Save

Chicago White Sox closer Liam Hendriks blew his second save of the season on Saturday versus the Texas Rangers. Hendriks served up a solo home run to designated Willie Calhoun with one out and that would tie the game at 1-1. Despite the blown save, Hendriks was able to pick up the win when second […]

Aaron Hicks Homers For Second Straight Game

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks homered for the second consecutive game on Saturday in a 2-1 win over the Indians. The Yankee lineup couldn't muster much of anything against Shane Bieber for four innings until Hicks stepped to the plate in the top half of the fifth, turning on a 1-2 fastball and driving […]

Dallas Keuchel Has Best Start Of 2021

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Dallas Keuchel put together his best start of the season in a no decision versus the Texas Rangers on Saturday. Keuchel was pulled after allowing a leadoff single in the top of the seventh inning, but went six innings and allowed seven hits, zero runs, zero walks and struck out […]

Jordan Romano Takes The Loss In Return

Toronto Blue Jays reliever Jordan Romano took the loss Saturday night against the Rays, allowing two runs (one earned) after entering the game with the game tied in the eighth. The right hander issued a pair of free passes to start the frame and he was only able to get one out before getting lifted […]

Michael Carter-Williams Out Again On Sunday

Orlando Magic guard Michael Carter-Williams (ankle) is out once again on Sunday against Indiana. The veteran has missed his previous four contests while tending to a sprained left ankle. In his stead, Cole Anthony should continue to be a popular option in all formats, with R.J. Hampton also seeing an increase in his fantasy stock.

Wendell Carter Jr. Questionable Against Indiana

Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. (ankle) may play on Sunday against Indiana. The big man has been dealing with soreness in his right ankle, and as a result, he wasn't in the lineup against New Orleans on Thursday night. If he can't go once again, look for Mo Bamba to get some more minutes […]

Gerrit Cole Shines In Battle Of Aces

New York Yankees starting pitcher Gerrit Cole answered the bell for his team in a battle against Indians' ace Shane Bieber. Cole earned his third win of the season, pitching seven innings of one-run ball and allowing three hits while striking out 11 batters with no walks. The 30-year-old ace worked easy frames in his […]

Trae Young Out As Expected On Sunday

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (ankle) won't play against the Bucks. The 22-year-old sprained his left ankle on Wednesday night against the Knicks and is expected to miss at least a few weeks. Without him, expect the likes of Bogdan Bogdanovic, Kevin Huerter, and Brandon Goodwin to potentially see an increase in chances on the […]

Clint Capela Questionable On Sunday

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (back) is questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against Milwaukee. The 26-year-old didn't play on Friday against Miami after suffering a bruise on his back. However, he could be in line to play in a favorable matchup against the Bucks. If he can't go, look for Onyeka Okongwu to start once […]

James Harden Out Against The Suns

Brooklyn Nets guard James Harden (hamstring) is out on Sunday against Phoenix, as expected. Although the former MVP was close to nearing a return from a right hamstring strain, he suffered a setback that will keep him out of the lineup longer. Expect Kyrie Irving to gain an increase in usage while running things at […]

Kevin Durant Likely To Return Against Phoenix

Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant (thigh) is probable ahead of Sunday's matchup against Phoenix. The former MVP suffered a left thigh contusion against Miami less than a week ago and subsequently missed the next three contests against New Orleans, Toronto, and Boston. With Durant consistently dealing with injuries throughout the season, head coach Steve Nash […]

Conor Garland Misses Out Again, Listed Week-To-Week

Arizona Coyotes winger Conor Garland (lower body) will miss a second consecutive game when the team visits the Kings on Saturday. The 24-year-old leads the team in assists this season with 22, and he's been one of Arizona's most consistent performers with 32 points in 45 games. Garland's spot on the top line was filled […]

Cameron Johnson Available On Sunday

Phoenix Suns guard Cameron Johnson (face) will be available for Sunday's matchup against Brooklyn. The 23-year-old fractured his nose during practice about a week ago but hasn't missed any time as of yet. With Jae Crowder (ankle) and Dario Saric (ankle) both out, Johnson will likely continue to roll with the starting unit. However, his […]

Alexander Edler Returns From Suspension On Saturday

Vancouver Canucks defenseman Alexander Edler will be back in the lineup on Saturday against Ottawa after serving a two-game suspension. The veteran blueliner will join Nate Schmidt on the first defensive pairing. Edler, who averages 20:43 of ice time, has only six points in 37 games this season, but he's done plenty of dirty work […]

Malik Monk Remains Out Against Celtics

Charlotte Hornets guard Malik Monk (ankle) will remain out ahead of Sunday's matchup against Boston. Although the 23-year-old may be back in the mix soon, he will miss another one as he continues to work his way back from a sprained right ankle suffered a few weeks ago. With LaMelo Ball (wrist) and Gordon Hayward […]

Greg Pateryn Takes Over From Radim Simek

San Jose Sharks defenseman Greg Pateryn will make his team debut on Saturday against Minnesota, replacing Radim Simek (upper body) in the lineup. Pateryn started this season in Minnesota but got traded to Colorado, who then dropped him off in San Jose in a deal that saw Devan Dubnyk join the Avalanche. The 30-year-old has […]

Robert Williams III Out Again On Sunday

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (knee) is listed as out for Sunday's matchup against the Hornets. The big man has been dealing with left knee soreness, an ailment that has kept him out of the lineup over the last five games. Although reports suggest Williams is close to returning, it appears as if Tristan […]

Josh Manson Sits Out On Saturday

Anaheim Ducks defenseman Josh Manson will miss Saturday's home game against Vegas. He left Tuesday's 4-1 loss against the Kings early with an apparent head injury and isn't healthy enough to play here. Injuries have limited Manson to just 21 outings this season. He has posted six points with 59 hits, 30 blocks and 17 […]

Robin Lehner Goes After Sixth Straight Victory

Vegas Golden Knights goaltender Robin Lehner will start Saturday's clash with the Ducks, looking to post his sixth straight victory. The Swedish netminder has been on an immense run to take his record for the year to 11-1-2. Lehner boasts a 2.11 goals-against average with a .919 save percentage and one shutout. He has beaten […]

John Gibson Tries To Stop Four-Game Skid On Saturday

Anaheim Ducks goaltender John Gibson will hope to put an end to his four-game losing streak in Saturday's meeting with Vegas. The Ducks have struggled to find offense lately and Gibson's performances haven't been top-notch either, which has resulted in his poor losing run. Gibson is 8-16-6 for the season with a 2.98 goals-against average, […]

Kaapo Kahkonen Takes On Sharks Saturday Night

Minnesota Wild goaltender Kaapo Kahkonen will start Saturday's contest against the Sharks. It will be his first appearance since April 17 when the rookie beat San Jose 5-2 with a 26-save performance. Kahkonen's levels have dropped during the latter half of the season, but he still owns a solid 13-7-0 record for the campaign with […]

Fred VanVleet Registers Nice Double-Double In Losing Effort

Toronto Raptors guard Fred VanVleet had a good performance in Saturday's loss to the Knicks, finishing with 27 points, 11 assists, five rebounds and two steals.
