Trevor Rosenthal Considering Thoracic Outlet Surgery

Oakland Athletics relief pitcher Trevor Rosenthal (shoulder) started experiencing tingling in his fingers out of nowhere and is now considering thoracic outlet surgery on his right shoulder, which could keep him out for up to three months.

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Max Fried (calf) left his start on Wednesday against the Washington Nationals early after he was hit in the right calf by a comebacker in the second inning in the first game of a doubleheader.

Los Angeles Dodgers star outfielder Cody Bellinger (calf) is listed as day-to-day after tests on his injured calf showed no structural damage or fractures, according to manager Dave Roberts.

The Baltimore Ravens agreed to an undisclosed one-year deal with free-agent safety Anthony Levine on Wednesday. Levine will return for his 10th season in Baltimore and 12th season in the NFL in 2021.

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher John Gant walked a tightrope throughout his start against the Miami Marlins on Tuesday but ended up with a decent outing.

Alcantara pitched six innings, allowing three runs (two earned) on four hits and two walks while striking out 10. Alcantara had all 10 strikeouts through five scoreless innings before things started to fall apart […]

George Springer Has A Setback

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (quadriceps, oblique), who is already out with an oblique injury, suffered quadriceps tightness while running the bases during his rehab.

According to Los Angeles Rams general manager Les Snead, the team has long-term hopes in mind for quarterback Matthew Stafford, who has two years and $43 million left on his current deal.

We’re in the final weeks of the regular season in most fantasy leagues. Hopefully, you’re still in the fight.

Jeff McNeil Sitting On Wednesday

New York Mets infielder/outfielder Jeff McNeil, who is 0-for-7 through the first two games of the 2021 season, is not in the starting lineup for the Mets on Wednesday. McNeil will take a seat for the contest against the Phillies and Aaron Nola, giving way to second baseman Jonathan Villar. Manager Luis Rojas indicated before […]

Josh Allen Not Thrilled With Idea Of Franchise Tag

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen is being patient about a long-term contract, but obviously he'd rather get something done sooner rather than later. General manager Brandon Beane said earlier this offseason that if an extension doesn't come this year, it could happen next offseason. Allen responded with, "Eww" when asked to respond to the word […]

Ross Atkins Given Five-Year Extension

The Toronto Blue Jays have extended general manager Ross Atkins for another five years. He had previously spent 15 years with the Cleveland Indians with a focus on player development before being hired by the Jays in 2015.

Anthony Miller Could Be On The Move

The Chicago Bears have been discussing a trade involving wide receiver Anthony Miller with a number of teams, according to sources. The former second-round pick could be on the move soon. It was reported about a month ago that the Bears were having trade discussions surrounding Miller, but it sounds as if he might be […]

Mark Melancon Cements Closer Role

San Diego Padres closer Mark Melancon collected his third save Tuesday against the San Francisco Giants. It's official, Melancon is now a perfect 3-for-3 in save opportunities and has been tabbed to close every tight contest to begin the season. There was discussion the Friars would utilize a committee with Melancon, Emilio Pagan and Drew […]

Brandon Crawford Hits First Home Run Of Season Tuesday

San Francisco Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford scored the team's only run in Tuesday's 1-3 loss to the Padres, going 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a strikeout. The veteran launched a third-inning Yu Darvish fastball into the right-field stands for his first homer of the season. Hopefully, this will help get Crawford going, as […]

Yu Darvish Sharp Versus Giants

San Diego Padres starter Yu Darvish tossed six innings of one-run ball Tuesday against the San Francisco Giants, taking a no-decision. After a laborious debut, Darvish allowed just three hits and a walk en route to striking out seven across 89 pitches. His primary mistake was a solo shot to shortstop Brandon Crawford. The 34-year-old […]

Aaron Sanchez Makes Strong Debut Tuesday

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Aaron Sanchez had a nice first start with his new team in Tuesday's 1-3 loss to the Padres. Sanchez pitched five innings, allowing a single run on six hits and no walks with four strikeouts. It was Sanchez's first start since 2019, so it was nice to see the strong […]

Danilo Gallinari Could Miss Wednesday's Game

Atlanta Hawks forward Danilo Gallinari (knee) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. This is a shame considering Gallinari has been playing really well lately. Sadly, the injuries continue to pile up for Gallinari and hinder his fantasy value. His absence would likely mean more playing time for Tony Snell and […]

Malcolm Brogdon Might Play Against Minnesota

Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon (hip) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He was able to practice on Monday, but was held out of Tuesday's contest. Possibly, the Pacers were just being cautious and didn't want Brogdon to play in both games. Indiana has a handful of players that are […]

Myles Turner Could Sit Out Wednesday

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He left Tuesday's game due to an ankle issue and was unable to return. The Pacers have a handful of players banged up heading into this contest. Goga Bitadze and Jakarr Sampson could become favorable streaming options, assuming […]

White Sox Resting Andrew Vaughn On Wednesday

Chicago White Sox left fielder Andrew Vaughn will rest on Wednesday versus the Seattle Mariners. Vaughn has started four of the White Sox first six games, but is just 1-for-11 with two runs scored and a RBI. Vaughn is one of the top power hitting prospects in the game and also is a very good […]

John Wall Expects To Play On Wednesday

Houston Rockets guard John Wall (knee) said that he expects to suit up for Wednesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. He sounded confident after shootaround that he'd be ready to play in this game. Kevin Porter Jr. is expected to lose a considerable amount of playing time with Wall back. It's worth noting that Wall […]

Dak Prescott Throwing As Rehab Continues

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott (ankle) is throwing in Texas as he continues his rehab from surgery on a compound fracture and ankle dislocation last year. Prescott is expected to be ready to go for training camp this summer, but the team won't put him in harm's way during spring workouts. The franchise signal-caller signed […]

De'Anthony Melton Sitting Out Versus Hawks

Memphis Grizzlies guard De'Anthony Melton (leg) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He will now miss both games of the back-to-back set due to leg soreness. His absence will mean more playing time for Desmond Bone and Grayson Allen. Neither of them are reliable streaming choices, but Bone is the […]

Hot-Hitting Yermin Mercedes Gets Day Off

Chicago White Sox catcher/designated hitter Yermin Mercedes will receive a day off on Wednesday versus the Seattle Mariners. Mercedes has been one of the early surprises in the fantasy community and started the season 8-for-8. Mercedes overall is hitting an insane .542 with one home run and six RBI to go along with just three […]

Brandon Ingram Questionable Against Nets

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (foot) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He has missed each of the last four games due to foot soreness. It wouldn't be surprising to see the Pelicans give Ingram another game off in a tough matchup versus Kevin Durant. His absence would likely […]

Michael Carter-Williams, Cole Anthony Returning On Wednesday

Orlando Magic guards Michael Carter-Williams (illness) and Cole Anthony (ribs) are both available for Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. Carter-Williams has missed each of the last three games due to a non-COVID related illness. Anthony has not played in over two months, but is expected to suit up here. It's unclear if either player […]

Yoan Moncada Absent From Wednesday’s Lineup

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada will rest on Wednesday versus the Seattle Mariners. Moncada has been off to a slow start in 2021 and is just 4-for-22 with 12 strikeouts on the season. Plate discipline has always been a weakness for the former top prospect and hopefully Wednesday's day off will help him […]
