Freddie Freeman Will Sit Out Wednesday

Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman will get a routine day off on Wednesday versus the Toronto Blue Jays. Infielder/outfielder Austin Riley will bat sixth and start at first base in a tough matchup versus Hyun-Jin Ryu. Freeman has been off to a slow start and is hitting just .195 with one home run and […]

Glenn Robinson III Missing Third Straight Game

Philadelphia 76ers forward Glenn Robinson III (hip) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. It will be his third straight game on the sidelines. It's unclear if he'll suit up at all during the bubble. Robinson isn't much of a factor in the rotation anyway. James Ennis and Alec Burks will […]

Marco Belinelli Available Versus Nuggets

San Antonio Spurs guard Marco Belinelli (ankle) is available or Wednesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He has been banged up with an ankle issue, but appears good enough to play here. He should get a handful of minutes, but likely won't do enough to warrant ownership in DFS contests. Lonnie Walker IV and Keldon […]

Andrew Benintendi, Jackie Bradley Jr. Both Sit Wednesday

The Boston Red Sox are loading up their lineup Wednesday against Rays left-hander Ryan Yarbrough with right-handed bats by benching left-handed-hitting outfielders Andrew Benintendi and Jackie Bradley Jr. The move allows Jose Peraza to start in left field and Kevin Pillar to move into the leadoff spot in the batting order. Benintendi has been in […]

Jamal Murray Ruled Out Versus Spurs

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (hamstring) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. He'll join Gary Harris (hip) and Will Barton (knee) on the sideline for this one. Monte Morris will get another start, while Michael Porter Jr. looks to build off his solid performance from last game. Both players […]

Lance McCullers Jr. Hoping To Curtail Control

Houston Astros starter Lance McCullers Jr. will take the mound Wednesday night against the Diamondbacks. It has been a mixed bag for McCullers Jr. through his first two starts. The right-hander has punched out 10 hitters through his first 10 innings but has walked seven batters, including four in his last outing. The 26-year-old may […]

Julio Teheran To Debut Wednesday

Los Angeles Angels starter Julio Teheran will make his Angels debut Wednesday night against the Mariners. Teheran had been held back due to MLB's COVID-19 protocol but has cleared all hurdles and is ready to pitch. It's hard to project what to expect from the veteran but it can be assumed that he will be […]

Jeff McNeil Out Of Starting Lineup For Third Straight Day

New York Mets third baseman/outfielder Jeff McNeil is out of Wednesday’s lineup against the Nationals and right-hander Max Scherzer with what McNeil himself as described as a “very minor” intercostal strain. McNeil’s absence will be his third straight, paving the way for J.D. Davis to hold down the hot corner. A key cog at the […]

Byron Buxton, Miguel Sano Out Of Lineup Wednesday

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton and first baseman Miguel Sano are both out of Wednesday's lineup against the Pirates. Buxton ended a four-game hitless streak on Tuesday with an RBI single but still seems to be feeling the effects of his foot injury at the plate. Sano tagged an RBI double on Tuesday, though he's […]

Alex Reyes Recalled To Big League Roster

St. Louis Cardinals right-handed pitcher Alex Reyes will join the Major League roster ahead of Friday’s game against the Cubs. Reyes, who rejoined the team in July after having tested positive for COVID-19, has been unable to remain healthy enough to impact the Cardinals since 2016. Heralded as one of the game’s premier pitching prospects, […]

Mike Moustakas Not In Starting Lineup Wednesday

Cincinnati Reds second baseman Mike Moustakas is out of the starting nine for Wednesday’s contest against the Cleveland Indians as he continues to battle a left quad bruise. Josh VanMeter will hold down the keystone in Moustakas’ absence with Eugenio Suarez slotting back into the cleanup spot in the order. Moustakas came out of the […]

Ariel Jurado Acquired By Mets, Joins Alternate Camp

Right-handed pitcher Ariel Jurado was a primetime prospect coming up through the Rangers’ organization, but after two lackluster big league seasons, the 24-year-old was designated for assignment, whereby the Mets claimed him Wednesday. Despite having 44 appearances (26 starts) to his resume, Jurado was reassigned to the team’s alternate training site. Not much jumps off […]

Bruce Arians Says Ronald Jones II Will "Carry The Load"

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II was called "the main guy" in the running back room by his coach Bruce Arians. Arians said he is confident in Jones II and that the other guys are fighting for roles. The other guys include third-round draft pick Ke'Shawn Vaughn, who will lose valuable practice time […]

Juan Soto In Starting Lineup Wednesday For First Time In 2020

Washington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto is back among the club’s starting nine for Wednesday’s contest against the Mets and right-hander Rick Porcello. Soto missed each of the team’s first 12 games due to positive COVID-19 tests, but he has since been cleared and will hit cleanup in a favorable setting against a righty that has […]

Aroldis Chapman Throws ‘Pen Wednesday, Return Not Close

New York Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman has been cleared from the bout with COVID-19 that has kept him sidelined thus far in 2020, but the southpaw isn’t exactly close to returning to game action for the Yankees. Manager Aaron Boone confirmed that Chapman would throw a bullpen session Wednesday, noting that there would need to […]

Josh Lindblom Tosses Bullpen, Has No Issues Ahead Of Start

Milwaukee Brewers right-handed pitcher Josh Lindblom left his first start of 2020 due to back spasms, but after throwing a bullpen session Tuesday, Lindblom was confident that there would be no issues for his Thursday start against the White Sox. Set to make multiple starts in a season for the first time since 2013, Lindblom […]

Randy Dobnak A Good Streaming Candidate Wednesday

Minnesota Twins pitcher Randy Dobnak will get the start in a ballpark he's very familiar with from his days growing up as a Pirates fan. Dobnak spoke this week about attending at least 150 Pirates games when he was younger- now he'll get the chance to toe the rubber as an opposing pitcher. In two […]

Nick Markakis Rejoins Braves For 2020 Year, Activated Wednesday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Nick Markakis had initially backed out of the 2020 campaign due to concerns surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, but after an appeal to the league office, he was granted the right to return. Markakis’ arrival comes the same day as Ozzie Albies (wrist) and Matt Adams (hamstring) hit the injured list, meaning that […]

John Means Lands On Bereavement List

Baltimore Orioles left-handed pitcher John Means was placed on the bereavement list following his start against the Marlins on Tuesday. Under MLB rules, Means will have to miss a minimum of three days, which could put his next start in flux. It’s been a seesaw start to 2020 for Means on the mound, having originally […]

Ozzie Albies Officially Placed On Injured List

Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies (wrist) has hit the 10-day injured list as he continues to battle a wrist injury during the early part of the 2020 season. After having led the National League in hits last season, Albies is off to a 7-for-44 start (.159) this year, having been dropped in the batting […]

Brandon Clarke Will Start On Wednesday

Memphis Grizzlies forward Brandon Clarke will jump into the starting five for Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. Jaren Jackson Jr. (knee) suffered a knee injury and is done for the rest of the season. That means, Clarke's value should skyrocket with significant playing time. Kyle Anderson and Gorgui Dieng should benefit as well, but […]

Michael Carter-Williams Ruled Out Wednesday

Orlando Magic guard Michael Carter-Williams (foot) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He was listed as doubtful after an MRI revealed a tendon strain. There is a good chance that he is sidelined longer than one game. That means, both Markelle Fultz and D.J. Augustin should benefit until Carter-Williams is […]

Peter Barrett Looks To Build From Contender Series Win

Peter Barrett (11-3) will make his UFC debut after defeating Sang Hoon Yoo on the Contender Series last year in August of 2019. Barrett has finished nine of his 11 victories, which were mostly spent in Cage Titans. Prior to his Contender Series win, Barrett was 3-3 in Cage Titans. He is DraftKings' lowest-salaried fighter […]

Youssef Zalal Can Become UFC's First Three-Fight Winner In 2020

Youssef Zalal (9-2) has the chance to become the first three-fight winner of 2020 in the UFC. Not bad for his first year in the UFC. Zalal likes to finish his bouts, with seven of his nine wins coming by finish. His last two bouts in the UFC are the two decision wins on his […]

Irwin Rivera Makes First Octagon Appearance At Bantamweight

Irwin Rivera (9-5) is reeling from his unanimous-decision loss in his debut back in May. Rivera took the fight on late notice and up a weight class at featherweight.

Ali Al Qaisi Making UFC Debut

Ali Al Qaisi (8-3) is the first fighter from Jordan to enter the Octagon. He is riding a hot streak, winning his last five bouts in a row. Five of his eight bouts have ended by finish. His last three victories have come in the Brave CF organization, showing his ability to fight on a […]
