Reese McGuire Cracks First Homer Of The Season

Toronto Blue Jays catcher Reese McGuire took Pete Fairbanks deep in the seventh inning for his first home run of the season in the team's 4-1 loss to the Rays on Saturday. He finished the afternoon going 1-for-4 on a day where the Jays failed to generate much offense. McGuire is on the wrong side […]

Matt Shoemaker Pitches Well In No-Decision

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Matt Shoemaker pitched well in his 2020 debut, but his offense didn't provide much support in the 4-1 loss to the Rays. The right-hander surrendered one run on three hits over six innings, while striking out four and walking a pair in the no-decision. Shoemaker's season ended abruptly in 2019 […]

Tommy Edman Hits A Triple On Saturday

St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Tommy Edman hit a triple on Saturday, going 1-for-5 with two RBI. Edman has gotten the start at third base in both games so far this season, hitting second in the lineup. He put up an .850 OPS with 11 home runs last season and should be a solid third […]

Paul Goldschmidt Hits A Home Run On Saturday

St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt hit a home run and a single in Saturday's win, ending up 2-for-5 with two runs scored and an RBI. His home run came in the first inning. "Goldy" struggled a bit last season, but still ended up with 34 home runs and 97 RBI. It's hard to […]

Adam Wainwright Pitches Well In His 2020 Debut

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Adam Wainwright pitched well in his first start of 2020, tossing six innings while allowing just one run on three hits and a walk. Wainwright earned a win and a quality start, striking out five Pittsburgh Pirates along the way. The veteran righty ended up with a 4.19 ERA and […]

Alex Wood Struggles in 2020 Debut

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Alex Wood only lasted three innings in his first start of the 2020 season on Saturday. Wood allowed three earned runs on three hits and three walks while striking out four in the game. The start is even more concerning given the desirable matchup against the lowly Giants offense. Wood will […]

Hanser Alberto Pick Up Three Hits Saturday

Baltimore Orioles second/third baseman Hanser Alberto had a nice day at the plate in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Red Sox, going 3-for-5 with two singles, a double, and an RBI. The 27-year-old had some nice offensive production for the O's in 2019, posting a .305/.329/.422 slash line with 12 home runs and 51 RBI. […]

Alex Cobb Earns Win In Start Saturday

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Alex Cobb looked sharp in his first start of the season, earning a win in a 7-2 game over the Red Sox. Cobb pitched 5 1/3 innings, allowing a single run on four hits and no walks with six strikeouts. The veteran has been fantasy-relevant before in his career, but has […]

Tucker Barnhart Placed On Paternity List

Cincinnati Reds catcher Tucker Barnhart will have to wait to begin his 2020 season as he was placed on the paternity list prior to first pitch Sunday. Curt Casali will assume full-time catching duties for the Reds in Barnhart’s absence, but utilityman Kyle Farmer figures to factor in as well. To take Barnhart’s spot on […]

Stephen Strasburg Scratched Saturday

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Stephen Strasburg will not be making his first start of the season Saturday, pulled because of a nerve issue in his pitching hand. If you were using him in DFS against the Yankees for some reason, pull him now. If he's on a standard fantasy roster he must stay there for […]

Matt Davidson Tests Positive For Coronavirus

Cincinnati Reds first baseman/designated hitter Matt Davidson has tested positive for COVID-19, which will land him on the injured list specific for those who will need to test negative twice before returning to action. Davidson served as the designated hitter for Cincinnati on Opening Day due to facing a left-handed starter before ultimately being lifted […]

Isiah Kiner-Falefa Pulled From Starting Lineup Saturday

Texas Rangers catcher/third baseman Isiah Kiner-Falefa had originally been slated to man third base during Saturday’s contest versus the Colorado Rockies, but has since been scratched due to left hamstring tightness. The move will allow veteran Todd Frazier to shift back to his longtime position at the hot corner, while also slotting the slugging first […]

Tyler Naquin Lands On Injured List With Toe Injury

Cleveland Indians outfielder Tyler Naquin (toe) was initially deemed day-to-day after being held out of the team’s Opening Day lineup Thursday, but he will instead incur a stint on the 10-day injured list due to a toe ailment. With Naquin out of the mix for at least the next week, the duo of Jordan Luplow […]

Domantas Sabonis Will Leave Orlando Bubble

Indiana Pacers forward Domantas Sabonis (foot) is leaving the Orlando bubble to seek a foot specialist. He is dealing with plantar fasciitis, so it's unclear how long Sabonis will be sidelined. It's usually an injury that is only healed with rest, which means Sabonis might not be ready in time for the seeding games. Myles […]

Andre Roberson Finally Takes The Court Again

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Andre Roberson (knee) was finally able to take the court for the first time in two years. He underwent a knee surgery in January of 2018, but various setbacks have kept him off the court for 909 days. He finished with five points, two rebounds, one steal in 11 minutes during […]

DeMarre Carroll Held Out Friday

Houston Rockets forward DeMarre Carroll (hamstring) was not able to participate during Friday's scrimmage against the Toronto Raptors. The veteran forward tweaked his hamstring earlier in the week. It's unclear if Carroll will be cleared in time to play in the seeding games. Danuel House, Ben McLemore and Jeff Green will be asked to step […]

Marc Gasol Returning To Action Sunday

Toronto Raptors center Marc Gasol (rest) did not suit up for Friday's scrimmage. However, he'll be back on the court for Sunday's meaningless contest. Head coach Nick Nurse decided to give the veteran big man a routine rest day. Chris Boucher is going to lose most of his fantasy value with Gasol healthy and back […]

Patrick McCaw Should See Action Sunday

Toronto Raptors guard Patrick McCaw will expected to see some playing time during Sunday's scrimmage. He sat out of Friday's win over the Houston Rockets, but is set to make his Orlando debut on Sunday. The Raptors have depth at the guard spot, so it'll be interesting to see what head coach Nick Nurse does […]

Richaun Holmes Remains Out Saturday

Sacramento Kings center Richaun Holmes won't suit up for Saturday's scrimmage against the Milwaukee Bucks. He continues to work on his conditioning after being quarantined due to breaking protocol. Harry Giles should see extra minutes coming his way until Holmes is ready to get back into action. Holmes should be ready in time for the […]

Eric Bledsoe Won't Play In Saturday's Scrimmage

Milwaukee Bucks guard Eric Bledsoe will not participate in Saturday's scrimmage versus the Sacramento Kings. He is not expected to suit up for Monday's exhibition either. Bledsoe continues to work himself back into game shape, so maybe he'll be able to play in an exhibition game soon. George Hill and Donte Divincenzo will hold down […]

Alex Caruso Fine For Saturday's Scrimmage

Los Angeles Lakers guard Alex Caruso (back) has been cleared to play in Saturday's scrimmage. He sat out of Thursday's meaningless contest due to back issues. However, this appears to be a minor issue and he'll be back on the court for this one. Caruso is likely looking at a bigger role in the rotation […]

De'Aaron Fox Will Participate In Saturday's Scrimmage

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (ankle) has been cleared to participate in Saturday's scrimmage versus the Milwaukee Bucks. He tweaked his left ankle on July 15, but has been making solid progress since then. The fact he will already be back on the court for a meaningless game is a great sign. There is a […]

Austin Meadows Working Out At Alternate Training Site

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Austin Meadows (COVID-19) is working out at the team's alternate training site in Port Charlotte, according to manager Kevin Cash. Meadows has been sidelined for over a week following a positive COVID-19 test. This is an encouraging step forward for fantasy owners, as Meadows should be able to return to the […]
