Scott Oberg Likely Done For Year, Wade Davis To Injured List

Colorado Rockies relievers Scott Oberg (blood clots) and Wade Davis (shoulder) both hit the injured list on Sunday. Oberg's injury is more serious- he has blood clots in his right arm- and will almost certainly cause him to miss the rest of the shortened season. It's not the first time he's dealt with blood clots, […]

Mike Scott Not Expected To Practice Sunday

Philadelphia 76ers forward Mike Scott (knee) is not expected to suit up for Sunday's practice. He was held out of Saturday's game against the Indiana Pacers due to right knee soreness. His fantasy value is basically gone after Ben Simmons moved from point guard to power forward. Al Horford has been getting in minutes at […]

Stephen Strasburg Throws Off Mound Sunday

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Stephen Strasburg (hand) felt "really good" after a bullpen session on Sunday.

Brad Keselowski Among The Most Consistent Drivers At New Hampshire

Kris Bryant Out With Illness

Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant (illness) is not in Sunday's lineup against the Pirates.

Columbus Blue Jackets forward Liam Foudy and defenseman Dean Kukan will be in the lineup for Sunday's contest against the Maple Leafs, pushing Nathan Gerbe and Markus Nutivaara out of action respectively.

Joonas Korpisalo to Start for Columbus in Game 1

Columbus Blue Jackets goaltender Joonas Korpisalo will be in the crease to start the series against Toronto on Sunday. After not showing his hand after practice on Saturday, John Tortorella waited until Sunday morning to reveal that Korpisalo would start, but mentioned that both goaltenders are capable. This could be a hint that Tortorella will […]

Mets Acquire Billy Hamilton

Where Have the Steals Gone? (Hint: Not Your Fantasy Team)

A common refrain among baseball analysts and fantasy managers is that the 2020 MLB season is meaningless. We can't extrapolate anything useful from a 60-game season. The numerous injuries, illnesses, and opt-outs make for an unreliable data sample. If you chose to play season-long fantasy baseball, you don't care. You still want to win, asterisks […]
