Otto Porter Jr. Listed As Probable For Game 4

Golden State Warriors forward Otto Porter Jr. (hand) is listed as probable for Monday's Game 4 against the Memphis Grizzlies. He played 24 minutes in Game 3, but re-aggravated his hand during the contest. There's a good chance Porter will still be able to play, but fantasy managers will have to check back later in […]

Kyle Lowry Tagged As Questionable For Game 4

Miami Heat guard Kyle Lowry (hamstring) is considered questionable for Game 5 against the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday. He reportedly re-injured his hamstring during Sunday's Game 4 loss.

This was a solid […]

Nikola Jokic Named MVP

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic has reportedly been named Most Valuable Player for the 2021-2022 season. Joel Embiid and Giannis Antetokounmpo were also MVP candidates, but the award will stay with Jokic for the second straight season. He averaged 27.1 points and 13.8 rebounds, which were both career highs for Jokic. The All-Star said has […]

Kris Bryant To Receive Cortisone Injection

Colorado Rockies third baseman Kris Bryant (back) is expected to receive a cortisone injection on Monday. The hope is that this injection into his back will help the healing process. It sounds like the plan is for Bryant to rest a few days after getting the injection. After that, Bryant will need a couple of […]

Kirby Yates Throws Bullpen Session

Atlanta Braves relief pitcher Kirby Yates (elbow) threw a 25-pitch bullpen session on Friday. The 34-year-old continues working his way back from Tommy John surgery. Yates has been throwing off a mound for three weeks. All of his pitches were fastballs, but the plan is for Yates to mix in breaking pitches soon. The hope […]

Minnesota Twins shortstop Carlos Correa (finger) is unlikely to return to the starting lineup on Tuesday. He missed his third straight game on Sunday due to a finger injury. The Twins are scheduled to be off on Monday before starting a series with the Houston Astros on Tuesday. The organization will attempt to keep Correa […]

Stephen Strasburg To Throw This Week

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Stephen Strasburg (neck, shoulder) is expected to throw a two-inning simulated game this week. The right-hander continues to make progress, but it doesn't sound like he'll be back in the rotation anytime soon. Nationals manager Dave Martinez mentioned that Strasburg will go on a rehab assignment after he has built up […]

Chris Paddack Removed Early On Sunday

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Chris Paddack (undisclosed) was unable to get through Sunday's start against the Oakland Athletics. He went two 2/3 innings before being removed due to an apparent injury. Right-hander Cody Shashak came in and fired two 2/3 scoreless innings after Paddack's departure. Fantasy managers will have to check back for another update […]

Cincinnati Reds infielder Colin Moran put together a show during Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. He went 2-for-4 with two home runs and six RBI in the victory. Moran came into this game hitting .184/.259/.204 in 58 plate appearances. Moran blasted a grand slam and a two-run home run in the win. He has […]

Jake Odorizzi Tosses One-Hit Gem

Houston Astros starting pitcher Jake Odorizzi looked fantastic against the Detroit Tigers on Sunday. He went five innings, allowing one hit, two walks, and struck out five in the victory. Odorizzi was pulled after 76 pitches because the Astros wanted to get some other pitchers into the game. Over his last three games, Odorizzi has […]

Al Horford Looks Sharp In Game 3

Boston Celtics forward Al Horford looked like he was back in his prime during Saturday's Game 3 matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks. One of the biggest reasons why Horford played well is that Milwaukee swapped Bobby Portis for Grayson Allen in the starting five. Horford took full advantage of that and nearly helped his team […]

Jayson Tatum Struggles In Loss

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (wrist) had a tough time getting anything to go his way during Saturday's loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. The All-Star forward has been dealing with a lingering left wrist injury for around two months. Tatum did fall to the ground on a dunk, but he appeared to be fine afterwards. […]

Roberto Perez Placed On Injured List

Pittsburgh Pirates catcher Roberto Perez (hamstring) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. He was forced to exit early during Saturday's first game of the doubleheader versus the Cincinnati Reds. Perez was unable to put any pressure on his leg, so he could end up missing significant time. Andrew Knapp and Michael Perez should […]

Brandon Belt Activated From COVID-19 List

San Francisco Giants first baseman Brandon Belt has been activated off the COVID-19 list on Saturday. He has missed over a week of action after testing positive for COVID-19 in late April. Before that, Belt was hitting well for the Giants, so hopefully that continues to happen. He'll play first base and bat third versus […]

Dauri Moreta Will Be The Opener On Saturday

Cincinnati Reds pitcher Dauri Moreta will be the opener for Saturday's second game of the doubleheader against the Pittsburgh Pirates. This looks like it's going to be a bullpen game for the Reds pitching staff. Moreta is posting a 5.11 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 13/6 K/BB ratio in 12 appearances this season. That being said, […]

Carson Kelly To Miss Saturday's Game

Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Carson Kelly (abdominal) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Colorado Rockies. He was a late scratch on Friday, so he'll miss his second game in a row due to this issue. The 27-year-old has struggled at the plate and is beginning to lose playing time. Daulton Varsho […]

Andrew McCutchen Placed On COVID-19 List

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Andrew McCutchen has been placed on the COVID-19 list. It's uncertain if the veteran outfielder has tested positive, but fantasy managers should expect him to miss at least a game or two. McCutchen has been a valuable asset to this roster and should continue getting significant at-bats. That being said, fantasy managers […]

Stephen Piscotty Headed To Injured List

Oakland Athletics outfielder Stephen Piscotty (calf) will be going on the injured list, according to manager Mark Kotsay. He was forced to exit Friday's game due to calf tightness. An MRI revealed a Grade 1 calf strain, so Piscotty is going to miss some time. The 31-year-old has struggled at the plate this season, so […]

Kurt Suzuki Placed On Injured List

Los Angeles Angels catcher Kurt Suzuki (undisclosed) has been placed on the injured list. The organization has not given an injury designation for Suzuki, so it's uncertain how much time he's going to miss. Chad Wallach has been recalled from the minors to take over the spot on the active roster. Max Stassi should continue […]

Byron Buxton Suffers Minor Injury

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton (hip) was forced to exit early during Saturday's game against the Oakland Athletics. He was pulled out in the seventh inning with what appeared to be knee soreness. However, the organization is considering Buxton day-to-day with hip tightness. This doesn't sound like something that will force Buxton to the injured […]

Enrique Hernandez Likely To Be Placed On COVID-19 List

Boston Red Sox outfielder Enrique Hernandez is expected to be placed on the COVID-19 injured list on Friday. He tested negative on Thursday, but continues to experience symptoms. He'll remain away from the team until he feels better. In the meantime, Jarren Duran is expected to be called up to take his spot on the […]

Drew Smyly To Return On Saturday

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Drew Smyly will make his return to the mound on Saturday versus the Los Angeles Dodgers. He was briefly placed on the bereavement list, but will return and start the first game of the doubleheader on Saturday. Smyly holds a 2.79 ERA over his first four outings this season. Fantasy managers […]

Yankees-Rangers Postponed On Friday

The game between the New York Yankees and Texas Rangers has been postponed on Friday. This contest won't be played due to pending inclement weather. It looks like it's going to be an ugly day weather wise on the East Coast, so there could be more games being postponed. This game will be made up […]

Fernando Tatis Jr. Unlikely To Return Soon

San Diego Padres shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. (wrist) is uncertain when he'll be cleared to resume swinging a bat. He has been taking some ground balls and running, but still isn't close to a return. Tatis is able to play catch, but someone else has to catch the ball for him. The Padres want to […]

Jesse Chavez To Start On Friday

Atlanta Braves pitcher Jesse Chavez will get the start against the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday. Chavez has thrown five scoreless innings since being acquired by the Braves from the Chicago Cubs earlier in the season. The Braves are likely only going to get two or three innings out of Chavez on Friday. This means, Kyle […]

Gary Payton II To Miss Three Weeks

Golden State Warriors guard Gary Payton II (elbow) is expected to miss at least three weeks of action. The Warriors have given Payton a three-to-five week timetable for his fractured elbow. Possibly, Payton is back in time for the Finals, assuming the Warriors make it that far. Although, there's a good chance that Payton's season […]

Tyrese Maxey Scores 34 Points In Losing Effort

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey has been incredible for this team all season long. He stepped up nicely during Game 2 versus the Miami Heat on Wednesday. Maxey hit 12-of-22 shots for 34 points and three rebounds in 43 minutes. It's great to see Maxey playing this well, but it's not enough to keep the […]
