Xander Bogaerts Has Three-Hit Game Against Orioles

Boston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts went 3-for-5 with two RBI and two runs scored in Thursday's 7-1 victory against the Orioles. Bogaerts connected on his fifth home run of the season off of Orioles starting pitcher Asher Wojciechowski in the third inning, while extending his on-base streak to four consecutive games. Bogaerts has totaled […]

James Paxton Will Not Require Tommy John Surgery

New York Yankees starting pitcher James Paxton (elbow) was diagnosed with a muscular issue after exiting his Thursday start with elbow discomfort. That’s encouraging news for Paxton, as it means that he’ll avoid Tommy John surgery. Still, it seems as though Paxton will miss significant time and is probably droppable in most redraft leagues as […]

Mitch Moreland Continues To Swing Hot Bat

Boston Red Sox first baseman Mitch Moreland went 2-for-4 with three RBI, one run scored and one walk in Thursday's 7-1 victory against the Orioles. Moreland's three-run home run in the ninth inning extended the Red Sox lead to six runs and gave the team a comfortable lead to earn their second consecutive victory. Through […]

Rondae Hollis-Jefferson Ruled Out For Game 3

Toronto Raptors forward Rondae Hollis-Jefferson (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's Game 3 against the Brooklyn Nets. He was listed as questionable earlier in the day, but it appears the team is going to take the cautious approach here. Hollis-Jefferson is dealing with some left knee swelling, so the team is calling him day-to-day […]

Nathan Eovaldi Holds Orioles To One Run In Victory

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi had a terrific outing in Thursday's series opener against the Orioles, as the right-hander went seven innings and gave up just one earned run in the contest. Eovaldi surrendered five hits and struck out six batters in the quality outing, as the only damage done against him came […]

Drew Pomeranz Day-To-Day With Shoulder Tightness

San Diego Padres manager Jayce Tingler revealed reliever Drew Pomeranz (shoulder) is day-to-day with shoulder tightness. This explains his absence the past couple nights in close contests. The 31-year-old has excelled as a full-time reliever, tossing nine scoreless innings with a 0.44 WHIP and 39 percent strikeout rate. With four saves, he was the clear […]

Anthony Beauvillier Scores Two Goals, Islanders Eliminate Capitals

New York Islanders forward Anthony Beauvillier came up big in Game 6 as he recorded a two-goal performance in Thursday's 4-0 victory against the Capitals. Defenseman Nick Leddy and forward Josh Bailey both added an empty net goal in the final minutes of the third period, while goaltender Semyon Varlamov recorded a 21-save shutout to […]

Patrick Beverley Doubtful Versus Mavs

Los Angeles Clippers guard Patrick Beverley (calf) is listed as doubtful for Friday's Game 3 against the Dallas Mavericks. He wasn't able to play in Game 2 and it sounds like he'll be a game-time decision here. Reggie Jackson would likely be asked to jump into the starting five if Beverley is unable to play. […]

Damian Lillard Suffers Injury On Thursday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard (finger) suffered an injury during Thursday's Game 2 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. During that game, Lillard dislocated his left index finger of his non-shooting hand. The X-rays came back negative, which is a great sign going forward. It's unknown whether or not Lillard will be able to […]

Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Game 3 against the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday.

Michael Carter-Williams Doubtful For Game 3

Orlando Magic guard Michael Carter-Williams (foot) is listed as doubtful for Saturday's Game 3 against the Milwaukee Bucks. He has been sidelined since August 5 due to a left foot issue, so who knows if we'll see him in this series. His absence will mean more minutes for Markelle Fultz and D.J. Augustin going forward. […]

Rondae Hollis-Jefferson Questionable For Game 3

Toronto Raptors forward Rondae Hollis-Jefferson (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's Game 3 against the Brooklyn Nets. He is dealing with swelling in his left knee, but it's unclear if he'll be able to play through it.

Eric Hosmer Makes History With Grand Slam

San Diego Padres first baseman Eric Hosmer went 2-for-4 with a single, grand slam and steal Thursday against the Texas Rangers.

Los Angeles Dodgers starter Clayton Kershaw allowed one run on four hits across seven innings of work during Thursday's 6-1 win over the Seattle Mariners.
