Gavin Lux Optioned Off Of MLB Roster

Los Angeles Dodgers star prospect Gavin Lux was optioned to the team's alternate summer camp on Tuesday afternoon. Lux had a late start to Dodgers' camp for unspecified reasons and has not looked comfortable in intrasquad games. He remains one of the top prospects in baseball and will likely return to the majors in due […]

Nerlens Noel Able To Scrimmage on Tuesday

Oklahoma City Thunder center Nerlens Noel (ankle) was able to get through Tuesday's scrimmage without any issues. He tweaked his ankle on Saturday and was unable to practice on Sunday. It sounds like a minor issue that isn't going to cost him any games. He should be fine for the restart, but his fantasy value […]

Jonathan Isaac Started 5-On-5 Work

Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac (knee) has finally started going through some 5-on-5 work during practice. Being cleared for 5-on-5 work is a significant step forward in his recovery process. The Magic are notoriously slow at bringing guys back from injuries. Isaac has not played in a basketball game in seven months, so it's unclear […]

Justise Winslow Won't Play During Restart

Memphis Grizzlies guard Justise Winslow (hip) took a hard fall during Monday's practice and won't play during the upcoming NBA restart. He suffered a hip injury that will force him to the sidelines until next season. Winslow has only been able to play in 11 games this season because of injuries. He was never a […]

Yankees Option Jordan Montgomery

New York Yankees starting pitcher Jordan Montgomery was optioned to the team’s alternate training site on Tuesday. This was likely a short-term move to open up spots for relievers early in the season, as manager Aaron Boone announced that the team will have a bullpen day on July 26 to fill in for the recovering […]

Lourdes Gurriel Jr. Probable For Opening Day

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. (side) is not in the lineup for the team’s exhibition contest versus the Red Sox on Tuesday, but he will take batting practice beforehand. Manager Charlie Montoyo said if he “feels good” after that, he could see the 26-year-old being ready for Opening Day on Friday. Gurriel experienced […]

Kelly Oubre Jr. Continues To Be Limited

Phoenix Suns forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (knee) has been unable to do much contact work while in Orlando. The good news is, Oubre has been able to dunk the ball and move around during drills. However, he has not taken much contact lately, so it's unclear if he'll be ready to play for the restart. […]

Kemba Walker Expected To Sit During Friday's Scrimmage

Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker (knee) is not expected to suit up for Friday's scrimmage against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The team will hold out Walker for this meaningless game, but it sounds like he's close to being ready to play. "He’s felt great, he’s been able to add strength and those were the two […]

Ricky Rubio Has Joined The Team In Orlando

Phoenix Suns guard Ricky Rubio has officially joined the organization in the bubble on Tuesday. There has been some confusion on Rubio's status, but he's in Orlando and participated in practice on Tuesday. He carried fairly decent fantasy value during the regular season, but that might not be the same case anymore. Head coach Monty […]

Movsar Evolev Can Improve To 3-0 In UFC With Victory

Movsar Evolev (12-0) has impressed so far in the UFC, winning both of his bouts in 2019. The Russian star averages a very high five takedowns per contest along with a 100% takedown defense. It's obvious that Evolev holds to the Russian standard of superior wrestling. His strike rate isn't that bad for a wrestler, […]

Carlos Martinez Makes It To The Rotation

St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Carlos Martinez has earned a spot in the starting rotation.

Kwang-Hyun Kim Could Start The Season As Closer

St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Kwang-Hyun Kim will start the season in the bullpen and will likely be the primary closer, according to manager Mike Schildt. Carlos Martinez earned a rotation spot, pushing Kim into the bullpen. Giovanny Gallegos and Ryan Helsley will throw significant innings and will have a chance to close if Kim struggles, […]

Masahiro Tanaka On Pace For July 31 Start

New York Yankees starting pitcher Masahiro Tanaka (head) threw 20 pitches from the mound on Tuesday. Barring any setbacks, Tanaka is scheduled to throw around 40 pitches on Sunday, putting him in line to start on July 31 against the Red Sox. Tanaka is slated to miss one start with that timeline, giving the Yankees […]

Finding Great Running Back-Offensive Line Pairings

Sometimes fantasy GMs focus too much on raw, counting stats for running backs. How many yards did they rush for? How many touchdowns did they score? Perhaps, taking it one step further, they end looking at some "manufactured" numbers such as yards per carry, yards after contact, etc... But there is something more that correlates […]

Roto Category Inflations for Pitchers in 2020

Limited sample sizes are scary territory for pitching results and analysis. In this year’s upcoming 60-game season, starting pitchers are going to be maxing out with around 12 starts, meaning that just one or two blowup games could cause a pitcher’s season-long numbers to look quite ugly. So how do fantasy managers adjust? The key […]
