Seattle Mariners CEO John Stanton said that he expects young prospects like outfielders Jarred Kelenic and Julio Rodriguez, catcher Cal Raleigh and pitchers Logan Gilbert and George Kirby to be on the 30-man taxi squad for the shortened 2020 season. Even this year's first-round pick, Emerson Hancock, has a shot. Kelenic and Rodriguez are one […]

Angels Hopeful Shohei Ohtani, Griffin Canning Will Be Ready

Los Angeles Angels manager Joe Maddon said he's "very" hopeful that starting pitchers Shohei Ohtani (elbow), Griffin Canning (elbow) and Felix Pena (knee) will be ready for Opening Day in late July. None of the three were likely to be able to pitch on the original Opening Day, but the coronavirus pandemic has bought them […]

Mohamed Sanu Sr. In Better Shape After Surgery

New England Patriots wide receiver Mohamed Sanu Sr. (ankle) is almost 16 weeks removed from offseason ankle surgery for a high ankle sprain, and his recovery is going better than expected.

The Philadelphia Phillies signed rookie right-handed pitcher Mick Abel to a $4.075 million contract after selecting him with the 15th overall pick in the MLB draft.

He also features a projectable 6-foot-4 frame, and […]

Kyle Gibson A High-Risk Individual For COVID-19

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Kyle Gibson has ulcerative colitis, an autoimmune disorder, which makes him a high-risk individual amid the COVID-19 pandemic. It means that the right-hander isn't required to take part in the shortened 60-game season, but he would still receive his pay. It's unclear whether Gibson has decided to sit out the season, […]

Ezekiel Elliott "Feeling Fine"

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott is reportedly "feeling fine" after he was recently diagnosed with COVID-19.

Ron Rivera Has High Praise For Chase Young

Washington Redskins rookie edge rusher Chase Young earned high praise from head coach Ron Rivera, who called the rookie a "mini-version" of former All-Pro Julius Peppers.

Garrett Cooper, Matt Joyce Candidates For DH Role

With the designated hitter being used in both leagues this season, Miami Marlins first baseman/outfielder Garrett Cooper and outfielder Matt Joyce are two candidates to be used in the role a lot. Cooper is the much more attractive fantasy commodity in deeper leagues for his ability to hit for average and modest power for the […]

Jameson Taillon Throws Off Bullpen Mound

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Jameson Taillon (elbow), who is roughly 10 months removed from his second Tommy John surgery, threw off a bullpen mound at PNC Park on Tuesday.

LCK & LPL DFS Picks for 6/25/20: DraftKings, FanDuel League of Legends Daily Fantasy

OMG got it done for me yesterday though it was a rough go to be sure. I managed to put together some non-cashing combos even though I was on winning teams, and HLE disappointed to sink my other lineups. It’s like that sometimes  - one pivot or two can cost you first place or even […]

Domingo German To Miss Entire Season

New York Yankees starting pitcher Domingo German is slated to miss the entire 2020 season after commissioner Rob Manfred set a 60-game season.

Lamar Jackson Working On Improving As A Passer

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is coming off a successful campaign in 2019, which included being named the league's MVP. Though the third-year signal-caller doesn't have much to improve upon as a runner, head coach John Harbaugh is looking for Jackson to "push the ball to spots where the defense is not" in 2020. With […]

Gary Woodland Looks To Avoid Crooked Numbers

Gary Woodland disappointed his fans and fantasy owners with a 62nd-place finish at the RBC Heritage last week. His biggest downfall was a quadruple-bogey on Saturday, which moved him from three-under to one-over on the day. That debacle on top of his double-bogey on the Par 5, 15th hole on Sunday all but canceled out […]

Erik Van Rooyen Bounces Back At Harbour Town

Erik Van Rooyen rebounded in a major way after missing his second straight cut at the Charles Schwab Challenge.

EVR also didn't […]

The young Oklahoma State star, Matthew Wolff, missed the cut at the RBC Heritage in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, last week.
