Bradley Beal And Robin Lopez Good To Go Wednesday

Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal (hip) and center Robin Lopez (quad) will play Wednesday against the Orlando Magic. Beal will make his return after a five-game absence due to a hip injury. Beal's return should push Raul Neto back to the bench and take some usage away from Russell Westbrook. Lopez left Monday's game with […]

Tyler Naquin Hits Fourth Homer In Four Games

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Tyler Naquin hit his fourth home run in as many games on Wednesday, as he finished 1-for-5 in an 11-4 victory over Pittsburgh. Filling in while Jesse Winker has been out with an illness, Naquin has been on fire at the plate as three of his last four hits have left the […]

Ian Kennedy Nails Down Second Save

Texas Rangers reliever Ian Kennedy recorded his second save of the season and struck out the side during the club's 2-1 victory on Wednesday. Despite being one of the last players to be named to the opening day roster, the 36-year-old reliever has been an integral part of the club's bullpen. Over three innings, he's […]

Danilo Gallinari Will Sit Against Memphis

Atlanta Hawks forward Danilo Gallinari (ankle) will not play Wednesday against the Memphis Grizzlies. Gallinari is dealing with ankle soreness and was questionable before being ruled out. Gallinari missed a bunch of games in the beginning of the season due to an ankle injury so the Hawks are likely being cautious on the second leg […]

Charlie Blackmon Not In Lineup On Wednesday

Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon is getting the day off on Wednesday and will sit in favor of Yonathan Daza, who will bat eighth against Madison Bumgarner and the Diamondbacks. Blackmon had started in each of the first five games of the year for Colorado and is currently 2-for-19 with a double, a home run […]

Clint Capela Ruled Out For Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (Achilles) will not play Wednesday against the Memphis Grizzlies. Capela was questionable with Achilles soreness which has been a reoccurring issue this season for the big man. Onyeka Okongwu will likely get the spot start on Wednesday and be tasked with containing Jonas Valanciunas. Okongwu has played well in limited […]

Andre Drummond, Kyle Kuzma Listed As Probable For Thursday

Los Angeles Lakers center Andre Drummond (toe) and forward Kyle Kuzma (calf) are listed as probable for Thursday's matchup against the Heat. Drummond has missed the last three games with a toe injury, though he has a fairly good chance of returning for a tricky matchup against Bam Adebayo. Kuzma seems likely to play, given […]

Tristan Thompson To Play In "Small Bursts" Wednesday

Boston Celtics forward/center Tristan Thompson will play in "short bursts" on Wednesday against the New York Knicks. Thompson is returning to play after sitting since March 14, and head coach Brad Stevens does not want to push the veteran big man in his return. Thompson is nothing more than a rebounding streamer at this point with […]

Joe Ross Will Start Friday Against Dodgers

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Joe Ross will get the start on Friday against the Dodgers, according to Jessica Camerato of MLB.com. It will be his first appearance since 2019, as he opted out of the 2020 season due to COVID-19 concerns. Ross struggled over his last three years on the mound, posting a 5.21 ERA […]

Rui Hachimura Available To Play Wednesday

Washington Wizards forward Rui Hachimura (shoulder) is good to go for Wednesday's game against Orlando. Hachimura missed the last two games with right shoulder tightness but was given the green light to return to the court. He should be on his normal minutes' count, which would be good news for his fantasy value, given that […]

Brandon Ingram, Kira Lewis Jr. Out Against Nets

New Orleans Pelicans guard Kira Lewis Jr. (calf) and forward Brandon Ingram (foot) are both out Wednesday against the Brooklyn Nets. Ingram appears closer to making a return, but will miss his fifth-straight game while Lewis will miss his second straight. The Pelicans have lost three of the past four games without Ingram and are […]

Bradley Beal A Game-Time Decision Wednesday

Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal (hip) is a game-time decision for Wednesday's contest with the Magic. Beal has been a game-time call the past few games and has missed each of them. He'll likely test out his hip in the pregame shootarounds, though don't be surprised if he's forced to miss another one. Russell Westbrook […]

Mike Soroka To Be Shut Down Two Weeks

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Mike Soroka (Achilles, shoulder) will be shut down from throwing for two weeks, according to David O'Brien of The Athletic. Soroka exited his simulated game appearance after one inning on Tuesday with right shoulder inflammation. It's another setback for Soroka, who is trying to work his way back from a torn […]

Malcolm Brogdon To Miss Fourth Straight Game

Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon (hip) will miss his fourth straight game Wednesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Brogdon is still dealing with a hip injury and does not have a concrete timetable to return, but it should be sooner rather than later. Brogdon's absence has opened the door for Edmond Sumner to start, but T.J. […]

Evan White Leaves Game With Injury

Seattle Mariners first baseman Evan White (quad) was forced to leave Wednesday's game against the Chicago White Sox after experiencing tightness in his left quad. White seemed to be limping after beating out a run-scoring fielder's choice. Jose Marmolejos subsequently took the field in White's place. Stay tuned for further updates, but it would be […]

Billy Hamilton Exits Early

Chicago White Sox outfielder Billy Hamilton (hamstring) exited Wednesday's contest versus the Seattle Mariners early due to injury. After stealing third base in the top of the fifth inning, Hamilton was seen grabbing his hamstring. Hamilton initially stayed in the game but was replaced in the bottom of the fifth inning. Hamilton finished the game 0-for-1 […]

Myles Turner And Domantas Sabonis Out Against T-Wolves

Indiana Pacers big men Myles Turner (ankle) and Domantas Sabonis (ankle) will both sit Wednesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Sabonis will miss his second straight game with an ankle sprain and has not practiced since suffering the injury. Turner also suffered an ankle sprain Tuesday night and will miss his first game with the ailment. […]

Zach LaVine, Coby White, Lauri Markkanen Probable Thursday

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (ankle) and guard Coby White (neck) are considered probable for Thursday's contest with the Raptors. Forward Lauri Markkanen (leg) is also probable. All three have been able to play through their respective ailments- and should be expected to do so again on Thursday. LaVine and White have struggled with their […]

J.D. Davis Day-To-Day After X-Rays Come Back Negative

New York Mets third baseman J.D. Davis (hand) is day-to-day after additional X-rays on Wednesday came back negative, according to MLB.com's Anthony DiComo. Nothing is broken in Davis' hand, which is a sigh of relief because of concerns the injury could have been more significant after his hand swelled up overnight. Davis should be back […]

Jeremy Lamb Available To Play Wednesday

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Jeremy Lamb (toe) will play Wednesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Lamb was questionable on the second leg of a back-to-back, but appears good to go after testing his toe out before tip-off. Lamb is coming off a 15-points and career-high six steals performance in 25 minutes on Tuesday and should get around […]

Larry Nance Jr. Out Thursday

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Larry Nance Jr. (illness) has been ruled out for Thursday's game versus the Thunder. Nance has missed the team's recent road trip as he battles a non-COVID illness, which has caused him to lose weight. The 28-year-old may have to miss a couple of more games as he works to get his […]

Braden Bishop Recalled From Alternate Site

Seattle Mariners outfielder Braden Bishop was recalled from the alternate site Wednesday, following Jake Fraley's placement on the 10-day injured list. Bishop was the only available outfielder at the alternate site on Seattle's 40-man roster. Bishop will occupy a bench role, as Dylan Moore, Sam Haggerty, and Jose Marmolejos will split the majority of the […]

Joc Pederson Goes Yard For First Time In 2021

Chicago Cubs outfielder Joc Pederson broke out of an 0-for-15 slump with a solo home run in the bottom of the eighth inning versus the Milwaukee Brewers. Pederson would finish the game 1-for-4. The slugger was due, and it was only a matter of time before he went yard with his new club. Pederson will […]

Kyle Hendricks Shines In No-Decision

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Kyle Hendricks picked up a tough no-decision on Wednesday versus the Milwaukee Brewers. Hendricks went six innings and allowed just four hits, zero runs, one walk and struck out six on the evening. Hendricks did his part on Wednesday, but the Cubs offense continued to struggle and let him down. It […]

Paul Millsap Resting On Wednesday

Denver Nuggets forward Paul Millsap (rest) will not play on Wednesday against the Spurs. Millsap is being rested for the second half of the team's back-to-back. With the veteran forward sidelined, expect some heavy minutes for Aaron Gordon and added opportunities off the bench for JaMychal Green. Gordon becomes a slightly more appealing DFS play- […]

LJay Newsome Recalled From Alternate Site

Seattle Mariners pitcher Ljay Newsome was recalled from the alternate site Wednesday, following James Paxton's placement on the injured list with a left forearm strain. Newsome will slot into the bullpen, as Nick Margevicius takes Paxton's place in the rotation. Newsome is not fantasy relevant at this time, but this does make him the next […]

Clint Capela Questionable For Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (Achilles) is considered questionable for Wednesday's contest against the Memphis Grizzlies. Capela has yet to miss a game as he deals with a sore left Achilles, though the team could opt to play it safe on the second night of a back-to-back. If Capela is out, Onyeka Okongwu and Bruno […]

Jake Fraley Placed On Injured List

Seattle Mariners outfielder Jake Fraley has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a left hamstring strain. He sustained the injury in the fifth inning of Tuesday's matchup against the White Sox. Outfielder Braden Bishop was called up in his place. Despite the fact that Fraley was leading the majors with eight walks at […]

Dejounte Murray Available To Play Wednesday

San Antonio Spurs guard Dejounte Murray (foot) is available for Wednesday's contest against the Nuggets. Murray missed one game, but his ability to get through Wednesday morning's shootaround setback-free was a great sign for his availability. It's a fairly tough matchup against Denver, though Murray has played well lately, particularly on the defensive end, and […]

James Paxton Placed On Injured List

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher James Paxton (forearm) has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a left forearm strain. He sustained the injury in the second inning of Tuesday night's game against the White Sox, and MRI results are still pending. In his place, Ljay Newsome was called up from the alternate site. He […]
