Jai Herbert Suffers Controversial Knockout Loss

Jai Herbert's debut in the UFC did not go as hoped. Taking on the veteran in Francisco Trinaldo, Herbert was defeated by third-round knockout. Many believed that the bout should have been stopped after Herbert hit the mat after the devastating blow from Trinaldo. Herbert landed the same number of strikes as Trinaldo (37), with […]

Melvin Gordon III Expects Competition

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III expects competition with Phillip Lindsay at the position during training camp. While both men will likely get some snaps out of the backfield, at least initially, there is a chance that one will surpass the other as the team's workhorse as the season progresses. Gordon, who recently signed […]

Joey Lucchesi Gets Nod Against D-Backs On Monday

San Diego Padres starter Joey Lucchesi will start the series finale Monday against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Lucchesi had a shaky camp as he battled for a rotation spot but showed enough to earn the No. 4 spot. The 27-year-old has been a workhorse for the Padres since his 2018 debut, posting a 4.14 ERA and […]

Carlos Santana Scores Twice In Win

Cleveland Indians first baseman Carlos Santana went 0-for-2 with two runs and two walks in Sunday's win against the Royals. Santana has yet to record a hit over eight at-bats to begin the season, but he's drawn four walks. The 34-year-old had a career-best .281 batting average, 34 home runs and 93 RBI last season […]

Damian Lillard Misses Sunday's Scrimmage

Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard (foot) did not suit up for Sunday's scrimmage against the Toronto Raptors. He is dealing with left foot inflammation, but the X-rays came back negative. The organization is obviously going to be careful especially during meaningless exhibition games. Head coach Terry Stotts is hopeful that Lillard will be ready […]

Glenn Robinson III Doesn't Return Sunday

Philadelphia 76ers forward Glenn Robinson III (hip) was unable to finish Sunday's scrimmage versus the Oklahoma City Thunder. He suffered a left hip pointer injury doing a couple of collisions during Sunday's contest. He walked back to the locker room, but returned to the bench later in the game. The Sixers are likely just being […]

De'Aaron Fox Feels Good

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (ankle) mentioned that he is feeling good after playing in Saturday's scrimmage. He has been battling a minor left ankle issue, but it appears he's finally getting over it. Fox played 19 minutes on Saturday and was moving around well while on the floor. The organization is hopeful that Fox […]

Jonathan Isaac Takes The Court Monday

Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac (knee) is expected to suit up for Monday's scrimmage against the Denver Nuggets. "As always, we will take a very cautious approach, and his playing time will be placed under a very limited minute restriction as he gets re-acclimated to the NBA game," said Magic president Jeff Weltman. Isaac has […]

Dario Saric Unable To Finish Scrimmage

Phoenix Suns forward Dario Saric (ankle) was unable to return after suffering an injury during the second quarter of Sunday's scrimmage. He suffered a left ankle injury and limped to the bench under his own power. The team decided to hold him out after halftime, but that is likely just precautionary. Hopefully this is just […]

Fred VanVleet Exits Early During Scrimmage

Toronto Raptors guard Fred Vanvleet (knee) limped to the locker room during the first quarter of Sunday's scrimmage. He suffered a left knee injury while attempting to take a charge. The Raptors have not given much information since then, but they really have no incentive to rush VanVleet back out there. They likely kept him […]

"Now Or Never" For Le'Veon Bell

New York Jets running back Le'Veon Bell could be entering his final year with the team. With no guaranteed cash on the table for the 28-year-old after the 2020 campaign, the Jets would save nearly $10 million by parting ways with him before next season. The former Steeler had one of his worst seasons in […]

Eric Hosmer Stays Hot With First Round-Tripper

San Diego Padres first baseman Eric Hosmer reached base three times on Sunday against the Arizona Diamondbacks, launching a home run and walking twice. After driving in six on Opening Night, Hosmer stayed hot, smacking a solo job to left center in the third inning. With a knack for hot starts, the 30-year-old is 4-for-6 […]

Clyde Edwards-Helaire Got In Extra Work Before Camp

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire reported to training camp on Saturday along with quarterback Patrick Mahomes to begin official on-field training activities. However, the duo is already familiar with each other, as they both worked out together during the offseason. The rookie has plenty of hype entering the season, and despite not having […]

Kirby Yates Takes One On The Chin

San Diego Padres closer Kirby Yates allowed two earned runs and suffered a loss Sunday against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The All-Star entered a tie game in the ninth and yielded two knocks and two walks to squander the Friars chance to stay undefeated. He was yanked after exhausting 28 pitches and managing just two outs. […]

Garrett Richards Posts Bagel In Season Debut

San Diego Padres starter Garrett Richards pitched well in a no-decision Sunday against the Arizona Diamondbacks, completing five frames of shutout ball. A sleeper in fantasy circles, Richards fanned six while issuing three free passes and a double. He was a bit wild, locating only 44 of 73 pitches for strikes. After appearing in just […]

Points League Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 2

There is no getting around that playing head-to-head points with weekly matchups is a difficult proposition in a 60-game season. There are only 10 weeks to play so that makes for a regular-season made up of just five or six matchups. Obviously, that will be a roller coaster of insanity for any leagues keeping the […]

Khamzat Chimaev Could Fight Again In August

Welterweight Khamzat Chimaev could fight once again relatively soon, potentially taking on his next opponent as early as UFC 252. The 26-year-old has been on a roll as of late by winning two fights over a 10-day span, with his latest victory coming at the expense of Rhys McKee via first-round knockout at UFC Fight […]

Marwin Gonzalez Hits Solo Homer

Minnesota Twins outfielder/infielder Marwin Gonzalez hit his first home run of the 2020 season in a 14-2 rout of the Chicago White Sox. Gonzalez, like the Twins, had a quiet day offensively on Saturday, going 0-for-3 with a walk. Sunday was an offensive explosion for the team and Gonzalez' home run in the ninth inning […]
