Alex Kirilloff Won't Be Recalled During Road Trip

Minnesota Twins outfielder Alex Kirilloff won't be recalled from the team's alternate site while the big club is on a road trip. Manager Rocco Baldelli didn't mention Kirilloff by name, though he indicated that the team didn't want players traveling from coast to coast during the pandemic. It's unfortunate timing for Kirilloff, as Twins' outfielders […]

Brent Rooker Reinstated From Injured List

Minnesota Twins outfielder/first baseman Brent Rooker (neck) was activated from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. Rooker's return comes at a good time for the Twins, as they will be without outfielders Max Kepler (COVID-19) and Kyle Garlick (COVID-19) for at least the remainder of the week. The 26-year-old has been a bit disappointing at […]

Kyle Lewis Returns Tuesday

Seattle Mariners outfielder Kyle Lewis is in the lineup batting second and playing center field Tuesday against Julio Urias and the Los Angeles Dodgers. It's been a more extended absence for Lewis than originally anticipated when he collided with the outfield wall in the last week of spring training. Now, 17 regular season games later, […]

Ty France Sits Out Tuesday

Seattle Mariners designated hitter Ty France (forearm) is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Los Angeles Dodgers. This comes as no surprise after he was removed from the game in the sixth inning on Monday following a hit-by-pitch to his right forearm. The Mariners have the day off on Wednesday, but it is possible […]

Max Kepler, Kyle Garlick, Caleb Thielbar Placed On COVID-19 Injured List

Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler (COVID-19), outfielder Kyle Garlick (COVID-19), and relief pitcher Caleb Thielbar (COVID-19) have been placed on the COVID-19 injured list Tuesday. Garlick had tested positive for the virus, and it seems likely that Kepler and Thielbar also did- given the team's recent outbreak- so fantasy managers may be without them for […]

No Minutes Restriction For D'Angelo Russell

Minnesota Timberwolves guard D'Angelo Russell will continue to come off the bench but will play "upwards of 30 minutes." Seeing as Russell has yet to play 30 minutes in a game in April, fantasy managers should opt for a wait-and-see approach when it comes to the guard's playing time. Head coach Chris Finch did note […]

Lonzo Ball To Remain On Minutes Restriction Tuesday

New Orleans Pelicans guard Lonzo Ball will be on a minutes restriction once again on Tuesday. Ball did note that Tuesday will be the last game with a cap on his minutes, as he seems to be nearly fully recovered from a hip flexor strain. The former UCLA guard has played 20 and 27 minutes […]

Tim Hardaway Jr. Questionable For Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks forward Tim Hardaway Jr. (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's contest versus the Pistons. Hardaway Jr. is dealing with a non-COVID-related illness- though it wouldn't be surprising to see him sit out Wednesday's contest with the second half of a back-to-back coming up on Thursday. If Hardaway Jr. is indeed out, expect Dorian Finney-Smith […]

Kevin Durant To Miss Tuesday's Game

Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant (thigh) will miss Tuesday's game against the Pelicans. Durant suffered a bruised thigh during Sunday's game and had to leave the contest early after playing just eight minutes. It's not surprising that the Nets opted to sit Durant, given that James Harden (hamstring) is also banged up. The onus will […]

Rui Hachimura Unable To Practice Tuesday

Washington Wizards forward Rui Hachimura (knee) was unable to practice on Tuesday. Hachimura's inability to take the practice court doesn't bode well for his chances of suiting up for Wednesday's game against the Warriors. As of now, he should be considered doubtful for the contest. Fellow forward Davis Bertans benefitted from Hachimura's absence on Monday, […]

James Harden Ruled Out Tuesday

Brooklyn Nets guard James Harden (hamstring) remains out on Tuesday. Harden seems to be nearing a return, as he has ramped up his activity- as well as traveled with the team on their current road trip. It seems likely that he'll be able to rejoin the starting five at some point this week. In his […]

Lewis Brinson Expected To Be Called Up

Miami Marlins outfielder Lewis Brinson is expected to be called up from the alternate site before Tuesday's game. With Starling Marte (rib) heading to the injured list, the Marlins need another outfielder up, and Brinson appears to be the choice. He and Magneuris Sierra will likely split time in center field, although Jon Berti is […]

Twins And A's Set For Doubleheader After COVID Postponement

The Minnesota Twins and Oakland Athletics were given the green light to play their series after Monday's game was postponed due to positive COVID tests within the Twins organization. The teams will play two games on Tuesday, both seven innings in length, before wrapping up the series on Wednesday afternoon. Fantasy managers should feel confident […]

Alex Smith Retires

Former Washington Football Team quarterback Alex Smith has retired from the NFL. Smith, the former No. 1 overall pick for the 49ers, spent 16 seasons in the NFL. The most notable part of his WFT tenure was a devastating leg injury in 2018 that put Smith's NFL future -- and his life, at one point […]

Washington Waives Bryce Love

The Washington Football Team has waived running back Bryce Love. Love's NFL career has gotten off to a rocky start following an ACL tear in college, as he's yet to see any game action in the NFL through two seasons. There's some clear talent here with Love if he's able to come back healthy, but […]

Wayne Gallman Visits 49ers

Free agent running back Wayne Gallman visited the San Francisco 49ers on Monday. Last year, Gallman had 147 carries for the Giants, with 682 rushing yards and six touchdowns. But Gallman's role only existed because of a Saquon Barkley injury, and the free-agent market has been slow for veteran backs like Gallman. San Francisco seems […]

Jordan Reed Retires

Tight End Jordan Reed has retired from the NFL. The 30-year-old dealt with concussion issues over the course of his career, preventing him from consistently being a top tight end despite some obvious talent. Reed's best season was 2015, when he caught 87 passes for 952 yards and 11 touchdowns. He had four touchdowns last […]

Billy McKinney Slugs First Home Run Of The Season

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Billy McKinney went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 3-1 win over the Padres. McKinney took advantage of a bad pitch from Joe Musgrove and sent it into the seats in right to put the Brewers up 2-1 in the fifth. Despite cranking his first home run of the year, […]

Mike Ford Recalled From Alternate Site

New York Yankees first baseman Mike Ford has been recalled from the team's alternate site ahead of Tuesday's game with the Braves. With Luke Voit (knee) expected to be sidelined until mid-May and Jay Bruce retiring, the Yankees have a vacancy at first- and Ford is a possible option to fill it. The 28-year-old had […]

Josh Hader Records Second Save Against Padres

Milwaukee Brewers closer Josh Hader pitched a clean ninth inning, as he allowed a walk but struck out one and didn't allow any hits while picking up his second save of the year in a 3-1 win over the Padres on Monday. Hader's only blemish in the inning was surrendering a walk to Fernando Tatis […]

Bryce Harper Collects Three Hits, Stolen Base Versus Giants

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper went 3-for-4 with a stolen base in a 2-0 loss to the Giants on Monday. Harper was out of the lineup Saturday with a back issue, but he said he's healthy and it's encouraging to see him steal a base. Harper is off to a blistering start to 2021 slashing […]

Jose Berrios To Start Second Game Of Doubleheader

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Jose Berrios will start the second game of Tuesday's scheduled doubleheader against the Athletics. Berrios was originally slated to take the mound on Monday, though the game was postponed due to a COVID-19 outbreak in the Twins' clubhouse. The 26-year-old right-hander has pitched to a 3.38 ERA with a 25:6 strikeout-to-walk […]

Noah Gregor Starts Life On Top Line With A Goal

San Jose Sharks forward Noah Gregor scored his fourth goal of the season in Monday's 3-2 shootout loss to Vegas, making a good impression in a first-line role. He skated on the left wing next to Logan Couture and Evander Kane. Rookie defenseman Nikolai Knyzhov also scored in a historic game, which saw Patrick Marleau […]

Brandon Woodruff Dominant In Win

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Bradnon Woodruff (1-0) allowed one run on one hit and three walks while striking out seven over six innings as he earned the win over the Padres on Monday. Woodruff had a rocky opening frame, as he allowed his only run and hit of the night while also needing 28 pitches […]

Mark Stone Continues Excellent Multi-Point Streak

Vegas Golden Knights right wing Mark Stone scored twice on the power play in Monday's 3-2 shootout victory over San Jose to record a fifth consecutive multi-point game. Max Pacioretty and Shea Theodore notched two assists. The Knights are in the midst of a very favorable set of games against some of the bottom-feeders of […]

Rafael Montero Saves Third Game

Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Rafael Montero collected his third save of the year Monday against the Los Angeles Dodgers. After Kendall Graveman dazzled for 1 2/3 innings, Montero entered in the ninth and promptly allowed two men on base, though he induced a double play ball from Corey Seager to end it. Montero now has […]

Carey Price Suffers Another Injury Monday Night

Montreal Canadiens goaltender Carey Price was forced to exit Monday's 4-1 loss to Edmonton with an upper-body injury. He lasted only one period in the game, saving all seven shots he faced. Jake Allen came in to replace him and allowed three goals on 28 shots. Eric Staal scored the only goal. Price had just […]

Kendall Graveman Used In High Leverage

Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Kendall Graveman had locked down the last two save opportunities entering Monday's game, but against the Los Angeles Dodgers he was brought in with one out and two on in the seventh inning. Graveman proceeded to set down the five batters he faced in order, collecting two strikeouts. He was credited […]
