Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler collected three RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's 8-2 win over Milwaukee. Kepler drove in one run on an infield single in the first inning, then plated two runs with another base hit in the sixth. He also swiped his first base of the season. Kepler labored through a […]

Mikael Backlund Rejoins Lineup For Sunday's Matchup

Calgary Flames forward Mikael Backlund (undisclosed) is good to go on Sunday against Toronto. The veteran forward missed Calgary's 3-2 loss against Edmonton on Friday and wasn't at Saturday's practice, but he took part in the team's optional morning skate on Sunday. Backlund is the team's fifth-best scorer this season with 19 points in 36 […]

He enters the contest with a 4-6-1 record and has registered a 2.79 goals-against average with a .907 save percentage and one shutout. Rittich has beaten the Leafs only once in three outings this season, but he does own […]

Ricky Rubio Doubtful For Monday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Ricky Rubio (back) is listed as doubtful for Monday's game against the Sacramento Kings. D'Angelo Russell (knee) will join Rubio with the doubtful tag for this contest. That means, Jordan McLaughlin could be forced to play heavy minutes. He'd make for a favorable DFS option without Rubio or Russell on the court. […]

Joakim Soria Exits Game Sunday With Potential Injury

Arizona Diamondbacks relief pitcher Joakim Soria exited Sunday's game with the team's trainer after pitching 2/3 of an inning, according to Zach Buchanan of The Athletic. Buchanan says that Soria "seemed to tweak something" during a groundout earlier in the inning, and initially pitched through it before leaving the game. He allowed two walks before […]

LPL Playoffs DFS Picks for 4/5-4/6: DraftKings & FanDuel League of Legends Daily Fantasy

Some days the tilt is impossible to avoid; even though I picked the two winners yesterday, I still found a way to miss out on profiting off that slate. Gen G showed their steady, strong nature in taking down T1 and will now get to face off with DWG again, this time in the LCK […]

John Gibson Could Return Versus Coyotes On Sunday

Anaheim Ducks goaltender John Gibson (upper body) took part in Saturday's practice and the team is hopeful that he can return to the lineup on Sunday versus Arizona. Gibson has had awful luck with injuries, and he's played just once since March 12. He carries a 7-12-5 record for the season with a 3.02 goals-against […]

Eric Paschall Out At Least Two Weeks

Golden State Warriors forward Eric Paschall (hip) is going to be sidelined for at least two weeks. He has already been ruled out for Sunday's game, but it appears it'll be longer than just a one game absence. An MRI confirmed a left hip flexor strain, so don't expect him back anytime soon. Juan Toscano-Anderson […]

Miguel Sano Goes Yard Against Brewers

Minnesota Twins first/third baseman Miguel Sano bashed his first home run of the season in his team's victory over the Brewers. Sano's home run was a line-drive bullet that made its voyage toward the right-field seats at an exit velocity of 106.7 MPH, his first round-tripper of the season. He did have two strikeouts, giving […]

Nationals-Braves Series Opener Postponed

The Washington Nationals will have to wait yet another day to start their season, as Monday's scheduled series opener with the Atlanta Braves has been postponed, according to The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal. The Nationals have been dealing with a COVID-19 outbreak, and have four players who tested positive and five more who are in quarantine […]

De'Andre Hunter Expected To Go Through Live Scrimmage

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (knee) will go through a live scrimmage before getting cleared to return to the court. Head coach Nate McMillan mentioned that Hunter is feeling more comfortable, but the Hawks are going to be cautious with their young forward. It's highly unlikely that Hunter holds any reliable fantasy value throughout the […]

Salvador Perez Homers In Royals Loss Sunday

Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a 7-3 loss to the Rangers. Perez's home run put the first runs on the board for Kansas City in the sixth inning, as the Royals failed to complete the sweep of the Rangers. After a good Spring Training performance in […]

Adin Hill Earns 10th Start Of The Season On Sunday

Arizona Coyotes goaltender Adin Hill will make his 10th start of the season in Sunday's road outing against the Ducks. It's a second consecutive game for Hill and the Coyotes at Anaheim following Friday's 4-2 win. Hill had a nightmare against Colorado earlier in the week, giving up four goals in 6:04, but he's been […]

Kira Lewis Jr. Sitting Out Versus Rockets

New Orleans Pelicans guard Kira Lewis Jr. (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Houston Rockets. He'll sit out this game after his best outing of the season on Friday. Regardless, Lewis was going to see less action with Lonzo Ball (hip) returning to the starting five on Friday. Eric Bledsoe and […]

Roope Hintz Returns To Lineup On Sunday

Dallas Stars forward Roope Hintz (lower body) is back in the lineup for Sunday's clash with Carolina. He missed Saturday's 3-2 win over the Hurricanes and has been in and out of the lineup regularly as he just can't seem to shake off a niggling lower-body injury. Hintz centers the team's top line, and he's […]

Lonzo Ball Returns To The Lineup

New Orleans Pelicans guard Lonzo Ball (hip) will return to the lineup for Sunday's game against the Houston Rockets. He'll return to the starting five following a seven-game absence. It wouldn't be shocking if Ball is limited, but he might be forced to play heavy minutes with the Pelicans shorthanded. Both Zion Williamson (thumb) and […]

Jackie Bradley Jr. Homers In Brewers Debut

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr. hit his first home run of the season on Sunday in an 8-2 loss to the Twins. Bradley finished 1-for-4 with one RBI and two runs scored against Minnesota. He got the start in center with Lorenzo Cain taking a day off, and figures to be a likely fourth […]

Zion Williamson Won't Play Sunday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (thumb) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Houston Rockets. It sounds like he is dealing with a strained right thumb, so fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day. James Johnson has some intriguing DFS appeal with Williamson sidelined. Lonzo Ball (hip) is returning to the lineup, so […]

Mitch Garver Belts First Home Run Of Season Sunday

Minnesota Twins catcher Mitch Garver went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's win over Milwaukee. Garver sent a 94-MPH fastball to the opposite field at an exit velocity of 101.7 MPH for his first long ball of the season. The veteran backstop also went the other way on his infield […]

Austin Gomber Walks Seven In Rockies Debut

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Austin Gomber struggled in his first start with Colorado, allowing three runs — one earned — on one hit and seven walks while striking out two in three innings of work. The headlining player going to the Rockies in the Nolan Arenado trade earlier this year, Gomber's numbers outside of the […]

Petr Mrazek Returns To Action On Sunday

Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Petr Mrazek will return to action in Sunday's clash with Dallas. The Czech netminder has been out since Jan. 30 with a thumb injury that required surgery. He returned to game action this week in the AHL, registering a 5-2 win for the Chicago Wolves with a nice 43-save performance. Mrazek posted […]

Michael King Great On Saturday

New York Yankees relief pitcher Michael King was excellent in six innings of relief on Saturday, holding the Blue Jays to just two baserunners with no runs. King probably won't get many more six-inning long relief appearances this season, but he may well hit his 100 inning target depending on how cautious the Yankees plan […]

Luis Arraez Reaches Base Safely In All Five Plate Appearances

Minnesota Twins utility Luis Arraez was the quintessential leadoff man in Sunday's 8-2 win over the Brewers. Arraez went 3-for-3 with two walks, a double, and a run scored. The 23-year-old seems to be taking to the leadoff spot well so far, as he has six hits and three walks compared to three strikeouts so […]

Jake Oettinger Makes Another Start On Sunday

Dallas Stars goaltender Jake Oettinger will be back between the pipes for Sunday's rematch with Carolina. He also started in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Hurricanes and was spectacular with 41 saves. Oettinger improved to 6-3-6 for the year with the outing, and he boasts a 2.32 goals-against average and a .913 save percentage with […]

Julio Urias Looks Sharp, Strikes Out Six Sunday

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Julio Urias put together a strong outing in Sunday's finale with the Rockies, striking out six in seven innings of work. Urias allowed just one run on three hits and one walk to earn the win over Colorado. He has picked up from what was a strong spring performance, having […]

Phillip Evans Has Three Hits In Pirates' Loss Sunday

Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Phillip Evans went 3-for-4 with one RBI in the Pirates' 4-3 loss to the Cubs on Sunday. Evans got the start after Ke'Bryan Hayes was placed on the injured list with wrist inflammation earlier in the day. He had played in just 46 career games over four seasons entering Sunday, but […]

Colin Moran Doubles, Homers In Finale With Cubs

Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman Colin Moran went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run, two RBI and a run scored in a 4-3 loss to Chicago in the series finale. It was a good day at the plate for Moran, who had opened the year 1-for-6 with three walks and three strikeouts in his first […]

Michael Pineda Earns Win On Sunday

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Michael Pineda earned the win in his first start of the 2021 season against the Brewers. Pineda tossed five innings of one-run ball, allowing four hits, one unearned run, and a pair of walks while fanning five batters. The 32-year-old right-hander was cruising through four innings until he got himself into […]

T.J. Zeuch Silences Yankees’ Bats

Toronto Blue Jays pitcher T.J. Zeuch threw four shutout innings to help the club defeat the New York Yankees by a score of 3-1 on Sunday.
