Frankie Montas To Start On Opening Day

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Frankie Montas will be the team's Opening Day starter, according to manager Bob Melvin. Montas said he expects to be able to go up to 90 pitches, so he won't be a popular DFS play against a good Angels lineup. His season-long prospects look much better, though, as he is coming […]

Jusuf Nurkic Not Concerned About Leg

Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic mentioned that he has zero concerns with regards to his leg injury. "As far as health, zero concerns man. It’s not even a question," says Nurkic.

Nerlens Noel Suffers Injury At Practice

Oklahoma City Thunder center Nerlens Noel (ankle) was forced to sit out a majority of Saturday's practice after suffering an injury on Friday.

Bol Bol Could Debut During Restart

Denver Nuggets center Bol Bol could finally make his NBA debut during the seeding games, according to Mike Singer.

However, he'd likely only see minutes in […]

Chase Elliott An Expensive DFS Play At Texas

Hendrick Motorsports driver Chase Elliott will start from the eighth position in Sunday's O'Reilly Auto Parts 500 at Texas Motor Speedway. Elliott won Wednesday night's All-Star Race, at Bristol Motor Speedway, and will look to carry that momentum over to TMS. Before the All-Star win, Elliott and the No. 9 team had been scuffling, with […]

Darius Bazley Getting Reps At Center

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Darius Bazley was getting some reps at center with Nerlens Noel (ankle) unavailable on Saturday, according to head coach Billy Donovan. "He could be so unique, if you went to a small lineup you could play him at center," said Donovan of Bazley. This season, Bazley is averaging 4.5 points through […]

Al Horford Likely To See Reduced Role

Philadelphia 76ers center Al Horford is expected to have a reduced role during the upcoming NBA restart.

All signs are pointing to Ben Simmons starting at power forward with Shake Milton at point guard. Horford is […]

Justin Anderson Officially Signs With Nets

Brooklyn Nets forward Justin Anderson has officially signed a deal for the remainder of the season. Michael Beasley was expected to join the team, but he'll be sitting out due to him getting COVID-19. Wilson Chandler has decided to opt out, so the Nets are in desperate need of another forward on the roster. He […]

Jarrett Allen Continues To Work On Conditioning

Brooklyn Nets center Jarrett Allen mentioned that his conditioning remains a "work in progress" as he continues to prepare for the upcoming restart. It's not surprising that NBA players are not fully conditioned to play after taking four months off. He mentioned that he's making better decisions with the ball, which is good news for […]

New York Yankees starting pitcher Domingo German announced on Saturday that he is not retiring. German posted a picture on Instagram suggesting that he may retire on Friday, but later made it clear that he intends to return to the Yankees for the 2021 season.

Markelle Fultz Still Unavailable For 5-On-5

Orlando Magic guard Markelle Fultz is still not taking part in 5-on-5 scrimmages, according to head coach Steve Clifford. He went on to say that Fultz looks good, but the organization wants to be careful with him. Fultz has dealt with health issues throughout his career, so the Magic want to make sure he's 100 […]

Cole Custer Looking For An Encore At Texas

Stewart-Haas Racing's Cole Custer will start from the 19th position in Sunday's O'Reilly Auto Parts 500 at Texas Motor Speedway. Last week, Custer pulled off a massive upset and won his first career Cup Series race at Kentucky. With that win, Custer comes into Texas with newfound confidence and will look to prove that it […]

Sergey Spivak Earns The Majority Decision

Sergey Spivak continued to show his improvement in the UFC, improving to 2-2 in the organization. He landed 165 total strikes in the bout, nearly four times as many as his opponent, Carlos Felipe. He also landed 76 significant strikes over the 15 minutes of battle. Spivak was just a tad under 50% on takedowns, […]

Kyle Busch Hopes Texas Will Kick-Start His Season

Joe Gibbs Racing's Kyle Busch will start from the fourth position in Sunday's O'Reilly Auto Parts 500 at Texas Motor Speedway. Busch and the No. 18 team have been off all year, and last week was the most telling performance. Busch drew the pole at Kentucky, a track he has dominated at, and could only […]

Trey Wingenter Undergoes Tommy John Surgery

San Diego Padres reliever Trey Wingenter (elbow) underwent Tommy John surgery on Friday. The 26-year-old posted a career 5.14 ERA across two seasons as a power reliever for the Friars and held minimal fantasy value. He likely won’t pitch again until 2022. While the Padres bullpen remains a team strength, Wingenter’s injury opens more opportunities […]

Despite seeing reasons to back nearly every team on the slate sticking to the TLDR picks of Gen/KT/IG/BLG led to a profitable night, didn't have enough IG as they trolled their way to victory again.

KBO DFS Lineup Picks For 7/19/20 - DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball

Welcome back RotoBallers! This might very well be my last KBO preview, but hold off on the sad emojis just yet. (And for those queueing up party emojis I've got a special "bat flip" just for you!) The reason is that next time I am up on the schedule for some of the leagues closer […]

Alex Bowman Looking To Turn It Around At Texas

Hendrick Motorsports driver Alex Bowman will start from the 12th position in Sunday's O'Reilly Auto Parts 500 at Texas Motor Speedway. Bowman and the No. 88 team have been in a prolonged funk, only scoring three top-10 finishes in the last 12 races. Bowman hasn't lacked speed, but he just hasn't been as strong as […]

DJ LeMahieu May Be Ready For Opening Day

New York Yankees second baseman DJ LeMahieu may be ready for the start of the season after rejoining the team on Friday from a coronavirus related absence. LeMahieu is scheduled to face live pitching this week and is optimistic that he’ll be prepared to start the season at second base for the Yankees. If LeMahieu […]

Christopher Bell A Chalk DFS Pick For Texas

Leavine Family Racing's Christopher Bell drew the 33rd starting position for Sunday's O'Reilly Auto Parts 500 at Texas Motor Speedway. Bell is coming off an impressive seventh-place finish at Kentucky, where he started from 34th. Somehow, Bell continues to draw in the 30s every week, but he has had a penchant for turning his poor […]

Nick Castellanos Won't Play Saturday

Cincinnati Reds manager David Bell said that outfielder Nick Castellanos (back) "is fine," but he won't play in the team's intrasquad on Saturday. Castellanos is "a little sore" and is expected to play on Sunday. He was hit by a pitch in his upper back on Friday and suffered something similar to a stinger. The […]

Braves Purchase Contracts Of Josh Tomlin, Yonder Alonso

The Atlanta Braves purchased the contracts of right-handed pitcher Josh Tomlin and first baseman Yonder Alonso to the major league roster on Saturday. Tomlin, 35, could be an option to begin the year as an opener or as a piggyback option in Atlanta's rotation with Cole Hamels unlikely to be ready. That likely won't translate […]

Michael Fulmer Ready To Pitch Out Of Rotation

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Michael Fulmer (elbow) said that he's ready to pitch out of the team's starting rotation to begin the regular season. Detroit just placed Jordan Zimmermann (forearm) on the 45-day injured list and Daniel Norris might not be ready for Opening Day, so the Tigers are going to need innings from Fulmer […]

Jordan Zimmermann Heading To 45-Day Injured List

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Jordan Zimmermann (forearm) will be placed on the 45-day injured list with a right forearm strain, according to manager Ron Gardenhire. It's the same injury that sidelined the 34-year-old veteran hurler for a good chunk of time last season. With the season shortened to 60 games in 2020 because of the […]

Tony Gonsolin Optioned To Alternate Training Site

The Los Angeles Dodgers optioned starting pitcher Tony Gonsolin to the team's alternate training site on Saturday. Gonsolin was an option to begin the season in the starting rotation with David Price opting out of the 2020 campaign, but it didn't help that the right-hander was a late arrival to summer camp for undisclosed reasons. […]

Blue Jays Denied Permission To Play In Toronto

The Toronto Blue Jays have been denied permission from the Canadian government to play their home games at their home park in Toronto, according to an Associated Press source. The province of Ontario permitted the team to play in Canada, but the federal government has vetoed the decision amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The Jays will […]

Julio Rodriguez Won't Need Surgery

Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez (wrist) will not require surgery for the fractured wrist he sustained earlier in the week.
