Terrence Ross Removed From Injury Report

Orlando Magic guard Terrence Ross (illness) was removed from the injury report ahead of Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He was battling a stomach bug, but was able to practice over the weekend. It doesn't sound like the team plans to restrict him at all, but more information should be known on Tuesday. He's […]

Isaac Paredes Called Up By Tigers

The Detroit Tigers have called up infield prospect Isaac Paredes and he'll be making his first MLB start on Monday against the Chicago White Sox. Paredes is playing third base and hitting eighth in the game. Paredes was a bit buried by the headline moves the Tigers made on Monday as two of their top […]

Aaron Gordon Might Sit Out On Tuesday

Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon (hamstring) is expected to be a game-time decision for Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He was able to get through his third straight non-contact session on Monday. Head coach Steve Clifford said Gordon continues to get better, but isn't quite 100 percent yet. Nikola Vucevic and Evan Fournier would […]

Luguentz Dort Unlikely To Play Versus Houston

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Luguentz Dort (knee) is unlikely going to suit up for Tuesday's Game 1 against the Houston Rockets. Head coach Billy Donovan said Dort is progressing well and will hopefully be ready sooner rather than later. Dort was expected to be the primary defender on James Harden, so losing him is going […]

Aroldis Chapman Activated; Reclaims Closer’s Role

New York Yankees left-handed pitcher Aroldis Chapman has been officially activated from the injured list ahead of Monday’s contest against the Red Sox. Manager Aaron Boone noted that Chapman would have the ninth inning in a save situation right out of the gate, thereby zapping Zack Britton of much of his fantasy intrigue. It was […]

Kendrick Nunn Sent To The Bench For Game 1

Miami Heat guard Kendrick Nunn will come off the bench with the second unit for Tuesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. The team has decided to shake up their starting five to kick off their playoff series. That being said, Goran Dragic is expected to jump into the starting five alongside Jimmy Butler. Nunn has […]

Carlos Martinez Cleared For Return To Baseball Activities

St. Louis Cardinals right-handed pitcher Carlos Martinez has been given the green light to return and begin doing baseball activities following his bout with COVID-19. Manager Mike Shildt was not able to announce Martinez’s timetable as of Monday, which likely indicates that he is a ways off from returning to a big league mound. Martinez […]

Kristaps Porzingis Probable For Game 1

Dallas Mavericks center Kristaps Porzingis (heel) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He has not played since August 11 due to a left heel contusion.

Sam Bennett's Strong Game Not Enough As Flames Fall In Game 4

Calgary Flames forward Sam Bennett picked up three points, including two on the power play, during Game 4's overtime loss to Dallas. He rounded out a strong fantasy effort with five shots, five hits, and four penalty minutes as well. Bennett did most of his damage on the power play, registering a goal and an […]

Jose Quintana Inching Towards A Return

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Jose Quintana (thumb) threw 61 pitches in a simulated game on Monday. The lefty will throw one more simulated game and if everything goes well, Quintana should be able to be activated. With Tyler Chatwood (back) on the injured list with a back injury, Quintana should slide back into the rotation. […]

John Klingberg Shows Off Playmaking Skills

Dallas Stars defenseman John Klingberg doubled his postseason point total with three assists on Sunday as the Stars claimed an overtime victory. Klingberg picked up the primary assist on two of Joe Pavelski's goals and the game-winning goal from Alexander Radulov. Klingberg now trails only fellow blueliner Miro Heiskanen in postseason points for Dallas. While […]

Adbert Alzolay Dealing With Forearm Bruise

Chicago Cubs pitching prospect Adbert Alzolay (forearm) took a ball off of his forearm and is dealing with a bruise. Alzolay was the most likely option to pitch Game 2 of Monday’s doubleheader versus the Cardinals, but his injury changed the clubs plans. Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune reports that if Alzolay’s bruise heels, […]

Patrick Beverley Questionable Versus Dallas

Los Angeles Clippers guard Patrick Beverley (calf) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Head coach Doc Rivers mentioned that he's hopeful Beverley will be available, but it sounds like it'll be a game time decision. Landry Shamet (foot) is also questionable for this contest, which means the Clippers could be […]

Tyson Miller Will Start Game 2 Of Doubleheader

Chicago Cubs pitching prospect Tyson Miller will make his big league debut in the second game of a doubleheader on Monday versus the Cardinals. Miller, 25, pitched in Double-A and Triple-A in 2019 and put together a 4.35 ERA in 26 starts with a 1.28 WHIP. Miller will likely be returned to the Cubs training […]

Landry Shamet Questionable For Monday

Los Angeles Clippers guard Landry Shamet (foot) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. He was unable to play Wednesday or Friday due to a left foot sprain. The Clippers could be without him for Game 1, but Shamet hasn't been sharp during the bubble games. Reggie Jackson, Rodney McGruder and […]

Ian Happ, Kyle Schwarber Sitting Out First Game Monday

Chicago Cubs outfielders Ian Happ and Kyle Schwarber will sit out the first game of Monday’s doubleheader against the Cardinals. With the Cubs facing lefty Kwang Hyun Kim, it makes sense to rest both outfielders for the second game of their doubleheader. Albert Almora Jr. will replace Happ and bat eighth, while David Bote will […]

OG Anunoby Playing Against Brooklyn

Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby (knee) will play in Game 1 versus the Brooklyn Nets on Monday.

Serge Ibaka Will Play In Game 1

Toronto Raptors center Serge Ibaka (knee) will suit up for Monday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He only played in five of the seeding games due to a lingering knee issue. The team is likely going to be cautious going forward and could restrict him during Game 1. Chris Boucher could see a few more […]

DeAndre Hopkins Expected Back Soon

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (hamstring) missed a second day of practice on Monday due to a sore hamstring, but head coach Kliff Kingsbury said that he expects Hopkins to be back at practice soon. Kingsbury also doesn't think Hopkins' absence will restrict him from learning the offense or gaining chemistry with quarterback Kyler […]

Rob Gronkowski Adjusting To Florida Heat

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski, who is returning to the NFL after an 18-month hiatus, is struggling a bit in training camp in the Florida heat. "He's probably in New England shape, but he's not in Florida shape. That humidity and heat's kicking his a-- pretty good," head coach Bruce Arians said. We […]

Jerick McKinnon Working Like He's Broke

San Francisco 49ers running back Jerick McKinnon has collected $15.5 million the last two years without even playing a snap for the 49ers because of a knee injury, but he's working extremely hard as he tries to come back in 2020. “I work like I’m broke,” McKinnon said. “It’s hard to stop working.” He has […]

Melvin Gordon III Struggling With Altitude In Denver

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III said that he's "struggling up here a little bit with the altitude." Gordon hasn't shown any ill effects when running the ball in drills, but he feels the altitude from play to play and practice to practice. The Broncos signed him to a two-year, $16 million deal in […]

Gerald McCoy Has Ruptured Quad, Out For The Season

Updating a previous report, Dallas Cowboys defensive tackle Gerald McCoy's (quadriceps) MRI exam on Monday showed a ruptured quad tendon, and he'll miss the entire 2020 season. It's a huge blow to Dallas' defensive line after they signed McCoy to a three-year contract in free agency. McCoy has 59.5 sacks in his 10 years in […]

The 33-year-old kicker has been pretty solid […]

Ravens Not Interested In Antonio Brown

The Baltimore Ravens are interested in free-agent wide receivers -- they've scheduled a workout with veteran Dez Bryant -- but they are not interested in Antonio Brown. Quarterback Lamar Jackson has worked out with Brown, but it's hard to see the Ravens going in this direction after owner Steve Bisciotti publicly apologized following the Ray […]

Stipe Miocic Successfully Defends Title

Stipe Miocic took the trilogy bout with Daniel Cormier to the limit Saturday night, winning by unanimous decision. Statistically, Miocic landed 171 total strikes, with 115 of those being listed as significant strikes.
