Rajon Rondo Uncertain For Saturday

Los Angeles Lakers guard Rajon Rondo (thumb) is currently listed as questionable for Saturday's Game 3 against the Portland Trail Blazers. Rondo has been making good strides lately, but the team doesn't want to rush him back to the court. Head coach Frank Vogel recently mentioned that Rondo has been medically cleared to play. It's […]

Russell Westbrook Ruled Out For Game 3

Houston Rockets guard Russell Westbrook (quad) has been ruled out for Saturday's Game 3 against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He was able to practice on Friday, but didn't go through any contact. It's unclear if Westbrook will play at all this series, especially with the Rockets already up two games in the series. James Harden […]

Derrick White Undergoes Surgery

San Antonio Spurs guard Derrick White (toe) is without a timetable to return after undergoing surgery on Friday. He dislocated his toe on his left foot and had a minor procedure in order to fix the issue. Obviously, the Spurs are already eliminated from the playoffs, so this won't have any impact on DFS contests […]

Darrynton Evans: 2020 Fantasy Football Sleeper

Whether you load up on running backs early in the draft or employ the zero-RB strategy, a fantasy owner’s ability to identify late-round upside running backs is massively important to winning a fantasy championship. Building quality depth at the running back position (especially if you don’t have to use a premium pick in the middle […]

Luka Doncic Could Miss Game 4

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (ankle) is in danger of missing Game 4 against the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday, according to head coach Rick Carlisle. Doncic suffered a left ankle injury during Friday's game, but said afterwards that the injury wasn't too bad. He is currently listed as questionable and will undergo an MRI […]

Nicky Delmonico Optioned Again

The Chicago White Sox have demoted outfielder Nicky Delmonico to open a spot for starting pitcher Reynaldo Lopez. Delmonico has been up and down this season for the White Sox. The outfielder is only hitting .200 in 15 at-bats and holds zero fantasy value when active.

Reynaldo Lopez Activated And Will Start Saturday

The Chicago White Sox have activated starting pitcher Reynaldo Lopez from the injured list and he will start Saturday against the Chicago Cubs. Lopez only 2/3 of an inning in his first start of the season before being diagnosed with shoulder soreness and landing on the 10-day injured list. In that start versus the Twins, […]

Gleyber Torres Expected To Return In Two Or Three Weeks

New York Yankees shortstop Gleyber Torres (quad, hamstring) will miss the next two to three weeks as he recovers from strains in his hamstring and quad which he suffered during Thursday’s game against the Rays. Torres had been heating up prior to getting injured with a .917 OPS over his last 12 games, but that […]

Anthony Miller - 2020 Fantasy Football Sleeper

After a good season by Chicago Bears QB Mitchell Trubisky in 2018, the optimism was high for WR Anthony Miller heading into 2019. After regression from Trubisky and the team last season, things did not turn out well though. The Bears, therefore, brought in QB Nick Foles to compete with Trubisky for the starting QB job, and this […]

Franmil Goes Deep In Loss To Tigers

Cleveland Indians outfielder Franmil Reyes went 1-for-4 with a home run, a walk, two RBI and two runs scored Friday but the Indians fell to the Tigers 10-5. The Indians got off to a quick start in this one, scoring three in the second before Reyes made it a five-run lead in the third with […]

James Paxton Shut Down For 14 Days

New York Yankees starting pitcher James Paxton (elbow) will not throw for 14 days, according to manager Aaron Boone. Paxton left his start on Thursday early with elbow discomfort, and although he’s avoided Tommy John surgery, his elbow issue is likely to keep him out for most if not all of the rest of this […]

Adrian Houser Tagged With Loss Friday

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Adrian Houser (1-2) allowed four runs on nine hits and one walk while striking out three over seven innings in a loss Friday against the Pirates. He allowed a season-high 10 baserunners Friday as the Brewers' pitching staff was unable to limit Pittsburgh's offense. The right-hander carries a 3.72 ERA and […]

Adam Plutko Gets Rocked In Loss

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Adam Plutko (1-2) allowed seven runs on five hits (two home runs) and two walks while striking out just one batter across 3 1/3 innings as he took the loss Friday versus the Tigers. Friday's start figures to be Plutko's last one for a while as the Indians are likely to […]

Champ or Chump: Casey Mize

One of the secrets to perfect in-season fantasy management is to look at your league's transaction list every single day.

Jordan Romano Gets The Save For Blue Jays

Toronto Blue Jays reliever Jordan Romano nailed down his first save of the season in the team’s 6-5 extra-inning win over the Rays on Friday. He worked out of a bit of trouble by allowing a pair of hits and the inherited runner at second base to score, but he recorded a strikeout and got […]

Walker Buehler Fans 11 In Dominant Outing

Los Angeles Dodgers starter Walker Buehler allowed one run on four hits across six innings of work during Friday's 5-1 win over the Colorado Rockies. He struck out 11 batters without issuing a walk.
