Kenley Jansen Says Conditioning Improving Each Week

Los Angeles Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen said he is still recovering from his bout with COVID-19.

Still, the 32-year-old has looked pretty good for someone who arrived at summer camp late, pitching five […]

Joel Embiid Returns To Double-Double Column In Win

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid compiled 30 points and 11 rebounds during Wednesday’s victory over the Wizards, now having averaged just shy of 33 points per game inside of the bubble. Embiid packed the stat sheet by adding three assists, three steals and two blocks across his 33 minutes, continuing to deliver contributions in ancillary […]

Max Scherzer Pulled After One Inning

Washington Nationals pitcher Max Scherzer needed 27 pitches to get through the first inning against the Mets. New York pushed only one run across but made Scherzer labor. The real problem is that the 36-year-old had diminished velocity in the first inning, generally not a good sign. This was his first start in seven days, […]

Kendall Graveman To Miss More Than One Start

Seattle Mariners pitcher Kendall Graveman (neck) will miss more than one start according to manager Scott Servais. It's not known yet what his official status is, but it sounds serious.

Carlos Rodon Could Return In A Few Weeks

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Carlos Rodon’s (shoulder) preliminary scans on his left shoulder came back negative.

The White Sox remain optimistic that Rodon can return in a few weeks, but fantasy owners can leave him […]

Kwang-Hyun Kim To Join The Rotation

St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Kwang-Hyun Kim, who was working as the team's closer, will leave the bullpen and join the rotation. Kim had a 2.51 ERA and an impressive 180/38 K/BB ratio in the KBO. He was originally signed to be a starter, so it was surprising to see him open the season in the […]

Mark Mathias will replace Yelich […]

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts (finger) remains out of the lineup on Wednesday. Betts has been dealing with swelling in his finger and has been sidelined since exiting Sunday’s game. Betts was expected to return Wednesday, but the Dodgers will give him another day off with an off day on Thursday. Betts could return […]

Nick Madrigal Sent To Injured List

Chicago White Sox second baseman Nick Madrigal (shoulder) has been placed on the injured list with a separated left shoulder. Madrigal suffered the injury on Tuesday after sliding into third base. It’s a shame as the second base prospect finally got promoted and was going to start regularly. General Manager Rick Hahn was optimistic that […]

Edwin Encarnacion Out Of Wednesday's Lineup

Chicago White Sox designated hitter Edwin Encarnacion (shoulder) will be absent from Wednesday’s lineup. Encarnacion exited Tuesday’s contest with left shoulder soreness. Encarnacion has only six hits in 30 at-bats for the season and a shoulder injury is unlikely to help. Catcher Yasmani Grandal will be the designated hitter on Wednesday and James McCann will […]

Rafael Montero Close To Returning

Texas Rangers relief pitcher Rafael Montero (elbow) threw an inning on Wednesday and the Rangers alternative site. Montero has been sidelined with elbow tendinitis, but appears to be on track to join the club at some point this weekend. With the Rangers losing Jose Leclerc (shoulder), Montero could find himself in the closer role. Montero […]

Brendan McKay Throws Simulated Game

Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Brendan McKay (COVID-19) threw two innings in a simulated game Wednesday. McKay has been on the COVID-19 injured list and has not appeared in a game this season. The lefty had some impressive starts to start his career in 2019, but began getting hit hard as his season went on. McKay […]

New York Mets starting pitcher Marcus Stroman (calf) is scheduled to throw a simulated on Thursday. Stroman was placed on the injured list just before Opening Day with a small tear in his left calf.

Pittsburgh Pirates reliever Keone Kela (COVID-19) threw a bullpen session on Wednesday. Manager Derek Shelton said on Tuesday that Kela would close once he’s activated, but there is currently no timetable for his return.

Roberto Perez Will Throw And Hit Wednesday

Cleveland Indians catcher Roberto Perez (shoulder) will do light throwing and hitting activities on Wednesday. Perez has been on the 10-day injured list with a sore right shoulder, but it sounds like his stint on the injured list won’t go past 10 days. Catchers Sandy Leon and Beau Taylor will continue to get looks behind […]

Delino DeShields Close To Returning

Cleveland Indians outfielder Delino DeShields (undisclosed) is expected to rejoin the team in the next day or two.

Dwight Howard Questionable On Wednesday

Los Angeles Lakers center Dwight Howard (knee) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He was limited to non-contact portions of practice on Tuesday due to soreness in his right knee. The Lakers have already locked up the No. 1 seed, so they can afford to be cautious. JaVale McGee […]

Amed Rosario Remains Out On Wednesday

New York Mets shortstop Amed Rosario (quad) remains out of the Mets lineup on Wednesday versus the Washington Nationals. Rosario hasn’t appeared in a contest since hurting his quad and exiting early from Monday’s game. The Mets will continue to deploy shortstop Andres Gimenez at shortstop with Rosario out. Gimenez will be in the sixth […]

Caris LeVert Should Play Wednesday

Brooklyn Nets guard Caris Levert (thigh) should be back in the starting five for Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. The Nets rested LeVert, Joe Harris, and Jarrett Allen on Tuesday because it was the front end of a back-to-back set. It doesn't sound like the Nets are planning to limit LeVert or Harris at […]

Rio Ruiz Remains Out Of Lineup

Baltimore Orioles third baseman Rio Ruiz (shoulder) will be out of the first game of Wednesday’s doubleheader versus the Marlins with a sore shoulder. Ruiz has been sidelined since Saturday with a sore shoulder. Ruiz will be replaced by Renato Nunez on Wednesday. Nunez will bat in the cleanup spot versus Marlins starter Elieser Hernandez. […]

Joe Harris Likely Returning Versus Celtics

Brooklyn Nets guard Joe Harris (back) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. Harris, Caris Levert (thigh) and Jarrett Allen (rest) all sat out of Tuesday's game to rest since the team has a busy schedule. Harris has been outstanding during the bubble, but that is likely because the team is […]

Jamal Crawford Won't Play Wednesday

Brooklyn Nets guard Jamal Crawford (hamstring) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. He suffered the injury during his bubble debut and was only able to play for six minutes of the game. Both Caris Levert and Joe Harris are expected to be back after resting during their last contest. It […]

Freddie Freeman Will Sit Out Wednesday

Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman will get a routine day off on Wednesday versus the Toronto Blue Jays.

Freeman has been off to a slow start and is hitting just .195 with one home run and […]

Glenn Robinson III Missing Third Straight Game

Philadelphia 76ers forward Glenn Robinson III (hip) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. It will be his third straight game on the sidelines. It's unclear if he'll suit up at all during the bubble. Robinson isn't much of a factor in the rotation anyway. James Ennis and Alec Burks will […]

Marco Belinelli Available Versus Nuggets

San Antonio Spurs guard Marco Belinelli (ankle) is available or Wednesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He has been banged up with an ankle issue, but appears good enough to play here. He should get a handful of minutes, but likely won't do enough to warrant ownership in DFS contests. Lonnie Walker IV and Keldon […]
