Bryce Miller to Make Next Rehab Start on Wednesday
Seattle Mariners right-hander Bryce Miller (shoulder) said the tentative plan right now is for him to make another minor-league rehab start on Wednesday with High-A Everett, according to Daniel Kramer of MLB.com. Miller is getting close to rejoining the Mariners' starting rotation to make his 2026 season debut, and fantasy managers looking for rotation upgrades should consider stashing him now. The 27-year-old former fourth-rounder out of Texas A&M in 2021 has looked good on his rehab assignment through three starts, and he threw 36 of his 53 pitches for strikes while tossing four scoreless innings his last time out on Thursday with Triple-A Tacoma. Right now, Miller is rostered in only 29% of Yahoo leagues, so he's widely available. The good news for Miller is that he hasn't dealt with any elbow injuries, which derailed his 2025 campaign. He's worth a look to see if he can rediscover the form he had in 2024 with the M's, when he went 12-8 with a 2.94 ERA and 0.98 WHIP with 171 K's and 45 walks in 180 1/3 innings across his 31 starts. Miller should be back in the big leagues by mid-May.

Joel Embiid Probable for Game 7 Against Celtics
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (abdomen) is probable for Saturday's huge Game 7 matchup against the Boston Celtics. The star big man is expected to make his fourth consecutive appearance after recovering from an appendectomy. While Embiid's field-goal efficiency has been poor and he hasn't done much on the defensive end, his impact in the series has been noticeable. Across 35.7 minutes per game, he has averaged 26.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 7.3 assists. Boston should see a lot of Embiid on Saturday night as the two teams jostle for survival.

Giancarlo Stanton Not Cleared to Run, Could Resume Hitting This Weekend
New York Yankees outfielder/designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton (calf) has yet to run after going on the 10-day injured list with a low-grade right-calf strain, manager Aaron Boone told Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News. The hope is that Stanton resumes hitting this weekend. The last box that Stanton will probably have to check before being cleared to return to the Yankees or go on a minor-league rehab assignment will be to run at full speed. Until that happens, it's hard to say when the right-handed power hitter will return from the IL. Given his lengthy injury history, fantasy managers should expect the Yankees to be cautious. Former top prospect Jasson Dominguez (elbow) was called up from the minors with Stanton hurt, but he suffered an elbow contusion earlier this week and has missed the last two games. Stanton is only rostered in 38% of Yahoo leagues after his injury, but he'll be the team's full-time DH when he returns, and he can still provide useful power numbers in a strong Yankees lineup.

Jonathan Isaac Downgraded to Out
Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac (knee) will remain on the shelf in Game 6 against the Detroit Pistons on Friday. His status has been downgraded from doubtful to out ahead of tip-off. Isaac has missed several weeks due to a left knee sprain, and it's unclear whether he will become an option in the postseason if Orlando takes down Detroit in the first round. Jamal Cain has benefited from Isaac's absence, but his production has been limited to 4.8 points and 3.2 rebounds per game in the playoffs.

Gerrit Cole Scheduled to Make Next Rehab Start on Tuesday
New York Yankees right-hander Gerrit Cole's (elbow) next scheduled minor-league rehab start will come on Tuesday with High-A Hudson Valley, according to the New York Daily News' Gary Phillips. Cole went 5 2/3 innings in his latest rehab start on Wednesday with Double-A Somerset, but the 35-year-old hasn't exactly looked great so far in the minors as he works his way back from Tommy John surgery early last year that kept him out for all of 2025. The former first overall pick out of UCLA in 2011 has been knocking off the rust with a 4.40 ERA and 0.84 WHIP with 10 strikeouts and one walk in his three rehab appearances. Cole is understandably taking a little longer than fellow rotation mate Carlos Rodon (elbow) in his return, and although he's had some trouble with the long ball, Cole remains on track to rejoin New York's rotation in a couple of weeks or so, barring a setback. He's rostered in 84% of Yahoo leagues right now. Cole could be more of a question mark initially as he works his way back from a long layoff, but fantasy managers are willing to gamble on the chance he finds his pre-injury form as an ace.

Kevin Huerter Misses Second Consecutive Game Friday
Detroit Pistons guard/forward Kevin Huerter (adductor) isn't available on Friday against the Orlando Magic. Due to a left adductor strain, he was tagged as questionable on the initial injury report, and the team has downgraded him to out ahead of tip-off. With Huerter out of commission, Caris LeVert and Daniss Jenkins will play leading roles off the bench. However, neither player has made a significant impact in the series and likely won't offer much value to DFS managers.

Carlos Rodon Might Need Only One More Rehab Start
New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that it's possible that left-hander Carlos Rodon (elbow) only makes one more minor-league rehab start, according to Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News. The plan is for Rodon to pitch on Tuesday at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Barring a setback on Tuesday, that will be his last start in the minors before making his 2026 season debut in pinstripes. The 33-year-old veteran is on the cusp of rejoining the Yankees, and he's looked great so far in his two rehab starts, striking out 12 and walking one while giving up just one run in 9 2/3 innings with High-A Hudson Valley and Double-A Somerset. Rodon will look to go over 80 pitches with Triple-A next week, so he'll be fully stretched out when he reaches the big leagues. He's coming off surgery last October to remove a bone spur in his left elbow. The three-time All-Star should be scooped up immediately if he's available in your league. Rodon is rostered in 86% of Yahoo leagues already.

Brandon Ingram Out on Friday
Toronto Raptors guard/forward Brandon Ingram (heel) will miss Friday's elimination game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He sat out the second half of Game 5 due to right heel inflammation and won't be available Friday night, after initially being considered questionable for the contest. A.J. Lawson started the second half in Ingram's place in Game 5, but he was limited to just a couple of minutes. Ja'Kobe Walter and Jamal Shead are best positioned to benefit from Ingram's absence. There could also be additional playing time for Jamison Battle.

Vinnie Pasquantino Back in Royals Starting Lineup Against Mariners
Kansas City Royals first baseman Vinnie Pasquantino (back) is starting at first base and batting third for the Royals against the hosting Seattle Mariners and right-hander Bryan Woo in Friday's series opener, according to MLB.com. Pasquantino, who said he has been battling some back injuries for most of the year so far, will return after sitting out each of the last two games with lower-back tightness. The 28-year-old left-handed slugger is a must-roster player in fantasy baseball leagues after his breakout 2025 season, in which he set career-highs in home runs (32), RBI (113), and runs scored (72). He's off to a slow start this year, though, and perhaps it's due to his back problems. Pasquantino returns to the lineup hitting .165 (17-for-103) with three home runs, 14 RBI, 11 runs scored, 16 walks, and 24 strikeouts across 29 games and 124 plate appearances. Fantasy managers hope his back injury doesn't flare up again and that he starts to swing a hotter bat to begin May.

Tobias Harris Cleared to Play Friday
Detroit Pistons forward Tobias Harris (ankle) will be available on Friday night against the Orlando Magic. The team has upgraded the veteran from questionable to available. Harris is dealing with a left ankle sprain, which might slow him down a bit in Game 6. So far in the series, Harris has been one of Detroit's best players, averaging 19.8 points and 7.6 rebounds per game. He has notched at least 20 points in three consecutive contests -- his longest such streak in the postseason since a seven-game run in 2021.

Tyler Soderstrom Returns to A's Lineup After Getting Banged Up
Athletics first baseman/outfielder Tyler Soderstrom (head, shoulder) is back in left field and will hit sixth in the batting order for Friday's series opener against the visiting Cleveland Guardians and left-hander Joey Cantillo, according to MLB.com. Even with a left-hander on the mound, Soderstrom will return to the A's starting nine after sitting out the last two games because he was banged up from a diving catch in the outfield on Tuesday. The 24-year-old left-handed slugger won't be the most popular DFS play on Friday night, even with the A's at home at hitter-friendly Sutter Health Park. Soderstrom has hit just .211 (23-for-109) on the season with three home runs, 18 RBI, 14 runs scored, and a steal. He's really struggled against lefties, too, going 3-for-34 (.088) against them with none of his three home runs, two walks, and 11 strikeouts in 36 plate appearances. Soderstrom will be facing Cantillo for the first time in his career.

Kevin Durant Officially Out for Game 6
Houston Rockets forward Kevin Durant (ankle) has been officially ruled out for Game 6 against the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday night. Initially, the team listed him as doubtful for the contest. However, media reports on Thursday already suggested that Durant won't be available on Friday night. His next chance to return will be on Sunday if Houston survives another elimination game. Reed Sheppard will continue to ride with the starters, while Tari Eason and Jabari Smith Jr. have taken on extra work during Durant's absence.

Michael Harris II Out Again With Quad Injury
Atlanta Braves outfielder Michael Harris II (quadriceps) remains out of the team's starting lineup for Friday's series opener in Denver against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field, per MLB.com. Mauricio Dubon is starting in center field for Atlanta and will bat fifth against Rockies veteran left-hander Jose Quintana. Jorge Mateo is starting at the 6 for the Braves. Harris is being considered day-to-day for now, but if he cannot return during the weekend series in Colorado, he could land on the 10-day injured list after coming down with quadriceps tightness the other day. It's a really bad time for the 25-year-old to be injured after his really hot start to the 2026 season. Going into Friday's games, Harris is slashing .317/.352/.535 with an .887 OPS, six home runs, 20 RBI, 11 runs scored, and two stolen bases in 101 at-bats. Both Dubon and Eli White are options to replace Harris in center field for the Braves if he continues to miss time beyond Friday's contest. Fantasy managers should check back on Saturday for an update on Harris and to see if he's back in the lineup for Game 2 in Denver.

Ryan Helsley Placed on Injured List With Elbow Inflammation
Baltimore Orioles right-handed closer Ryan Helsley (elbow) was placed on the 15-day injured list on Friday with right-elbow inflammation, according to Jake Rill of MLB.com. This one is a bit of a surprise after Helsley looked fine in his last outing, when he locked down his seventh save of the year with a perfect ninth inning. It's quite a big shakeup in fantasy baseball leagues and will give managers a chance to poach some saves off the waiver wire for at least the next couple of weeks. It's unclear how Baltimore will approach save situations going forward, but they will most likely go with a committee approach that could involve all of Andrew Kittredge, Rico Garcia, Anthony Nunez, and Yennier Cano. Kittredge has the most experience (nine-plus seasons in the big leagues), but Garcia, Nunez, and Cano have all pitched extremely well this year and deserve opportunities as well. Garcia is probably your best bet if you're speculating, and he's currently rostered in 18% of Yahoo leagues. Helsley should be stashed in an IL spot in all leagues in what is looking like a bounce-back 2026 campaign. UPDATE: Imaging on Helsley's right elbow came back clean on Friday.

Dylan Holloway Signs Five-Year Extension With Blues
St. Louis Blues forward Dylan Holloway signed a five-year, $38.75 million contract extension on Friday. He was headed for restricted free agency before agreeing to a new deal with the Blues, who acquired him via an offer sheet from the Edmonton Oilers in 2024. Holloway has been a great fit in St. Louis, though health issues affected his 2025-26 campaign. He made only 59 appearances, recording 22 goals and 51 points. Since joining the Blues, Holloway has averaged 0.84 points and 2.16 hits per game, making him a valuable fantasy option across many formats.

Barrett Hayton, Jack McBain Iffy for Friday
Utah Mammoth forwards Barrett Hayton (upper body) and Jack McBain (undisclosed) are both considered game-time decisions on Friday against the Vegas Golden Knights, Brogan Houston of the Deseret News reports. Some other players on the team are also dealing with health issues, but Mammoth head coach Andre Tourigny mentioned only Hayton and McBain by name as game-time decisions. Hayton made a surprise return from an upper-body injury in Game 5, logging 12:49 of ice time in his first outing since March 24. McBain has also dealt with health issues late in the season. He re-entered the lineup for the series opener but hasn't played since. Utah's injury issues up front might open the door for Liam O'Brien to rejoin the lineup.

Logan Stanley a Game-Time Decision Friday
Buffalo Sabres defenseman Logan Stanley (illness) is a game-time decision for Friday's tilt against the Buffalo Sabres, Amalie Benjamin of NHL.com reports. The towering 6-foot-7 blue-liner is dealing with an illness and couldn't practice on Thursday. This season, Stanley took a big leap offensively, recording 26 points (nine goals, 17 assists) in 76 games split between the Sabres and Winnipeg Jets. He hasn't yet made it on the score sheet in five playoff games. Without the puck, Stanley has registered six blocks and six hits in 13:52 of ice time per game. The Sabres plan to use Michael Kesselring as Stanley's replacement if needed.

The Swedish forward was injured last weekend in Game 4 of the first-round series. Michael Eyssimont replaced Arvidsson in Tuesday's Game 5 and will likely continue in a bottom-six role on Friday. In Game 5, Eyssimont logged 12:53 of ice time but didn't register any offensive stats. He had one block and two hits.

After sitting out Game 5 due to illness, Paul participated fully in Friday's morning skate, signaling that he is ready to return. Conor Geekie will be scratched to accommodate Paul's return. In four postseason appearances, Paul hasn't registered any points, but he's won a hugely impressive 65.6 percent of his faceoffs. The veteran will also give the Lightning some added muscle, having averaged 3.25 hits per game during the first round.

He first dropped out of the lineup due to illness and soon afterward took a personal leave. If Tampa doesn't win Friday night, Hedman won't get another chance to return this season.

Is Ja'Marr Chase the Obvious Dynasty WR1 Entering 2026?
Five years into his NFL career, Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase is well-established as arguably the best pass-catcher in football. The 26-year-old is coming off another highly productive season in 2025, hauling in 125 receptions for 1,412 yards and eight touchdowns on 185 targets across 16 games. While Chase wasn't able to replicate his 1,700-yard, 17-touchdown season from 2024, he still led the NFL in targets and put up monster numbers despite playing nine games with star Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow, who missed time due to a toe injury. With Burrow fully healthy, Chase has a case to be valued as the WR1 in fantasy for the 2026 season. Even if Burrow suffers another injury, Chase has proven the ability to be an elite producer, particularly in PPR-scoring formats. Coming off back-to-back first-team All-Pro seasons, Chase might currently profile as the highest-floor and highest-ceiling dynasty wide receiver in fantasy football.

Justin Verlander to Throw Another Bullpen, Still Not "Asymptomatic"
Detroit Tigers right-hander Justin Verlander (hip) will throw another bullpen session in his rehab, and he's taking steps forward, but he's still not "asymptomatic," according to Evan Woodbery of MLive Media Group. There has been no talk of sending Verlander on a minor-league rehab assignment. The 43-year-old's body just isn't responding the way he'd like it to as he nears the end of his outstanding and likely Hall of Fame career. Verlander doesn't seem much closer to returning from the 15-day injured list. He missed all of April and doesn't have a clear path to a speedy recovery. The former MVP, three-time Cy Young winner, and nine-time All-Star is clearly running out of steam and has had a tough time staying healthy in recent years. In his lone start in 2026 against the Arizona Diamondbacks on March 30, he allowed five earned runs on six hits (one homer) while walking two and striking out only one in 3 2/3 innings. Verlander is now rostered in just 5% of Yahoo leagues.

MRI Comes Back Clean for Garrett Crochet
Boston Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy said that left-hander Garrett Crochet's (shoulder) MRI exam on his left shoulder came back clean, with just some inflammation in his shoulder, according to Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald. Crochet won't resume throwing for a few days and will now focus on rebuilding strength in his arm. The talented southpaw was put on the 15-day injured list by the BoSox on Wednesday, and the hope is that he can have a minimal stint on the IL. The 26-year-old former first-rounder by the Chicago White Sox in 2020 out of Tennessee hasn't been himself so far in six starts for Boston, and his shoulder injury is likely a big reason for that. Crochet landed on the IL with a 3-3 record, bloated 6.30 ERA (4.33 FIP), 37 strikeouts, and 11 walks in 30 innings pitched. The two-time All-Star needs to be stashed in an IL spot in all fantasy leagues while he recovers from shoulder inflammation. For now, left-handed pitching prospect Jake Bennett will take Crochet's spot in the rotation and make his big-league debut on Friday against the Houston Astros.

Can Javonte Williams Replicate 2025 Success in 2026?
Dallas Cowboys running back Javonte Williams was one of the surprise success stories of the 2025 season, recording 1,338 yards from scrimmage and 13 touchdowns on 287 touches across 16 games. The Cowboys rewarded Williams this past offseason with a new three-year, $24 million contract. For the second straight year, Williams figures to play a workhorse role in the Dallas backfield. Behind Williams, the unproven trio of Malik Davis, Jaydon Blue, and Phil Mafah currently projects as the next men up on the team's running back depth chart. While Williams' 2025 production seemingly came out of nowhere, it may simply have been a product of him finally getting back to full health after the devastating knee injury that he suffered in 2022. Williams' value in dynasty formats is on the rise as he enters his age-26 season.

Cade Povich Officially Called Up to Start Against Yankees on Friday
The Baltimore Orioles announced on Friday that they recalled left-hander Cade Povich from Triple-A Norfolk and optioned right-hander Cameron Foster to Norfolk in a corresponding move. Povich is slated to start in Friday's series opener in the Bronx against the division-rival New York Yankees. The 26-year-old southpaw will temporarily fill in for the Orioles in place of left-hander Trevor Rogers (illness), but if he pitches well, the O's could be forced to find a permanent spot for Povich in the rotation. The former third-round pick of the Minnesota Twins in 2021 looked good in two outings (one start) for Baltimore already this year, giving up three earned runs on nine hits (one homer) while walking three and striking out seven in 12 1/3 innings. Povich doesn't have a high-end arsenal as a starter, but he's had a 30% strikeout rate in the minors and should at least deserve some attention off the waiver wire in deeper fantasy leagues. Unfortunately, his matchup on Friday for his second start of 2026 is not one we would recommend as a streamer in the Bronx.

Terry McLaurin is Well-Positioned to Rebound in 2026
After missing most of the offseason while negotiating a new contract, Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin battled through an injury-marred 2025 campaign. The 30-year-old missed seven contests with a quad injury, finishing the year with 38 receptions for 583 yards and three touchdowns on 60 targets across 10 games. It was a disastrous year for the Commanders' offense overall, which also got just seven games out of star quarterback Jayden Daniels. Still, both McLaurin and Daniels should be healthy and ready to go for the start of 2026. McLaurin also looks like the undisputed favorite to dominate targets in Washington, as the next wide receivers on the depth chart are the unproven Luke McCaffrey and 2026 third-round pick Antonio Williams. Heading into his age-31 season, age-related decline is a concern for McLaurin. However, his strong track record of production and the situation around him in Washington make him an appealing bounce-back candidate in dynasty formats.

Justin Herbert's Dynasty Value Rising Following Offseason Overhaul in Los Angeles
Across 16 games in 2025, Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert completed 66.4% of his pass attempts for 3,727 yards, 26 touchdowns, and 13 interceptions. Herbert also had the most productive season of his career with his legs, racking up 498 yards and two touchdowns on 83 rushing attempts. Despite averaging a relatively modest 32 pass attempts per game, Herbert's uptick in rushing production allowed him to finish as the overall QB10 in fantasy. Heading into 2026, there's reason to believe that Herbert could be in line for an even better season. For one, Los Angeles replaced conservative play-caller Greg Roman with former Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel, who could help unlock a new level of explosiveness for the Chargers offense. Additionally, Los Angeles overhauled the interior of its offensive line and will get back its star tackle duo of Rashawn Slater and Joe Alt, who combined to play just six games in 2025. All in all, Herbert's dynasty outlook is trending up as he heads into his age-28 season.

Is Tee Higgins a Top-24 Dynasty Wide Receiver?
Across 15 games in 2025, Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins recorded 59 receptions for 846 yards and 11 touchdowns on 98 targets. Even with Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow sidelined for a significant chunk of the season by a toe injury, Higgins proved capable of providing solid production, particularly in the red zone. Injuries remain a red flag in Higgins' fantasy profile, as he's missed 12 games over the past three seasons and battled concussion issues in 2025. Still, Higgins and Burrow are both entering the 2026 season healthy. Even with Bengals wideout Ja'Marr Chase likely to dominate targets in Cincinnati, Higgins has proven to be a must-start wide receiver when both he and Burrow are on the field. In dynasty formats, managers could have an intriguing sell-high window on Higgins before the start of 2026.

Ryan Pepiot to Miss the Rest of the Season, Scheduled for Hip Surgery
Tampa Bay Rays right-hander Ryan Pepiot (hip) will miss the rest of the 2026 season and is scheduled to have hip surgery on May 13, according to Rays sideline reporter Ryan Bass. Pepiot's season will come to an end before it even started due to a right-hip injury. He initially landed on the 15-day injured list before the start of the regular season with what was being called hip inflammation. Pepiot received an injection in his right hip, but it continued to feel unstable, and he'll be forced to go under the knife. It's unclear if his recovery from this injury will spill over into spring training next year or the start of the 2027 season. Fantasy managers in single-year leagues can now safely drop Pepiot to the waiver wire. He's currently rostered in 69% of Yahoo leagues. Pepiot's season-ending injury means that swingman Nick Martinez is safe in Tampa's rotation for now.
