Max Muncy Won't Be Activated Yet

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Max Muncy (hamstring) was hopeful to get back into game action on Friday. However, the team ultimately decided that Muncy wasn't ready to play yet. That means, the left-handed slugger will need at least another day or two to recover from his hamstring strain. Michael Busch will cover third base and […]

Jarren Duran Sitting Out On Friday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Chicago White Sox. This marks the second time in the last four games that Duran has sat out against a right-handed starter. It's a bit concerning that the Red Sox continue to bench Duran. He has a decent […]

Jorge Alfaro Absent On Friday

Colorado Rockies catcher Jorge Alfaro is absent from the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. The right-handed slugger has served as the designated hitter in four of the last five games. This appears to be a routine rest day for the 30-year-old catcher. Elias Diaz will be behind the plate and […]

Matt Waldron To Start On Saturday

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Matt Waldron is being recalled to take the mound against the Washington Nationals on Saturday. The left-hander is one of the few minor leaguers that feature a knuckleball. Now, Waldron will be the only current MLB player to have one. This season, Waldron holds a 7.02 ERA, 1.65 WHIP and […]

Tim Anderson Added To The Lineup On Friday

Updating a previous report, Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson (shoulder) was originally expected to miss his fifth straight game on Friday. However, it appears Anderson is a late addition to the lineup here. The 30-year-old has been dealing with a banged up shoulder, but appears to be feeling good enough to play against the […]

Melvin Gordon III Still Wants To Play

Free-agent running back Melvin Gordon III is still looking for a new team as the calendar nears July. The 30-year-old is one of many veteran backs without a job right now. Gordon acknowledged it's tough being a running back right now, but will remain in game shape in case someone needs him. He's coming off […]

Jalen Nailor Could Make Bigger Impact

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jalen Nailor had a minimal role in the offense last season. The 24-year-old hauled in nine receptions for 179 yards, and one touchdown in 15 games during his rookie season. However, it sounds like Nailor has a good chance at making an impact going forward. The Vikings reportedly like what they […]

Justyn Ross Could Be A Cut Candidate

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Justyn Ross could be the odd man out when it's time to make cuts, according to Nate Taylor of The Athletic. To be fair, Taylor didn't really have anything bad to say about Ross, but believes the Chiefs have better options than him. He believes Kadarius Toney, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Skyy […]

Cordarrelle Patterson To Take On Bigger Pass-Catching Role

Atlanta Falcons running back Cordarrelle Patterson is expected to take on a bigger pass-catching role with the offense next season. Last season, Patterson was forced into a larger rushing role and saw his totals in the passing game drop dramatically. Now, the Falcons have Tyler Allgeier and Bijan Robinson who can do a majority of […]

Tutu Atwell Will Have A Role Next Season

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Tutu Atwell is going to have a role in the team's passing offense next season, according to head coach Sean McVay. The organization has given Atwell high praise during minicamp. "He's a nice complement to some of the other guys that we have, and so I'm really pleased with what […]

Will Benson Gets Rest Day On Friday

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Will Benson is absent from the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Atlanta Braves. This appears to be nothing more than a routine day off for the left-handed slugger. Benson has been hot at the plate since the start of June. He's slashing .333/.492/.533 with two homers and five RBI in […]

Riley Greene Plays Catch On Friday

Detroit Tigers outfielder Riley Greene (leg) was spotted playing catch on Friday without an air cast. That is good news as Greene works his way back from a stress reaction in his left fibula. The left-handed slugger has been sidelined since the end of May, but hopefully won't miss too much more time. It sounds […]

Alex Faedo Throws On Friday

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Alex Faedo (finger) was able to throw a bullpen session on Friday. The 27-year-old has been sidelined since the end of May due fingernail issue that is causing blisters. He's back on track now, so hopefully he doesn't suffer any setbacks and feels good after this bullpen session. The hope is […]

Wil Myers Officially Released

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Wil Myers has been officially released by the organization on Friday. The 32-year-old was designated for assignment earlier this week, but will now become a free agent. Originally, the Reds signed Myers to a one-year. $7.5 million deal this past offseason. Sadly, Myers struggled hitting only .189 with three home runs and […]

Jerami Grant Could Get Long-Term Deal From Blazers

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant is set to become a free agent this summer, but that might not last long. The expectation is that Grant will likely get 30-plus million per season on the open market. There have been reports that multiple organizations have already expressed interest in Grant, including the Detroit Pistons. However, […]

Cavaliers Declining Trades For Jarrett Allen

Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen is reportedly not on the trade block, but that hasn't stopped teams from calling and attempting to acquire the big man. The organization has said they have no plans of making big moves after being knocked out in the first-round of the postseason. It sounds like the Cavs have listened […]

Ryan Rollins Headed To Wizards

The Washington Wizards acquired Jordan Poole, Ryan Rollins, and multiple draft picks in exchange for veteran point guard Chris Paul. The Warriors recently said they weren't willing to move Poole, but that quickly changed. It sounds like Rollins is a throw-in here, but the 20-year-old does have potential. He was limited to 12 games last […]

Monte Morris Likely To Be Traded

Washington Wizards guard Monte Morris might end up as the next player unloaded during the massive rebuild. The organization already traded guards Bradley Beal, Chris Paul and big man Kristaps Porzingis. It sounds like the Wizards have no plans on stopping now as they want to go full rebuild. It's unclear what kind of value […]

Scoot Henderson Gaining Momentum As No. 2 Overall Pick

The Charlotte Hornets have the No. 2 overall pick in the upcoming NBA Draft. The assumption was that the Hornets were going to take Brandon Miller with that selection. However, shooting guard Scoot Henderson is gaining momentum as the possible No. 2 overall selection. On paper, Miller is the better fit, but Henderson is viewed […]

Knicks Showing Interest In Paul George

Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George could be on the move this summer. Earlier this week, the organization was reportedly listening to offers on the All-Star forward. It was being reported that the Portland Trail Blazers and Houston Rockets were the two most likely teams to land George. However, the New York Knicks are reportedly […]

De'Andre Hunter Could Be Traded

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter is reportedly being explored as a possible trade candidate this offseason. It seems odd that the Hawks would trade Hunter after recently signing Hunter to a hefty extension. However, fellow forward AJ Griffin has emerged as a solid contributor and is in need of more playing time. That being said, […]

76ers Not Expected To Pursue Chris Paul

The Philadelphia 76ers were one of the obvious names mentioned after guard Chris Paul was dealt to the Washington Wizards. The Sixers are a championship caliber roster that appears to be only one piece away from winning it all. The potential departure of guard James Harden has been one of the bigger storylines early in […]

Kristaps Porzingis Must Opt-In To Player Option

Washington Wizards center Kristaps Porzingis has been at the centerpiece of a potential three-team trade. The big man must accept his $36 million player option for next season in order for this trade to work. The assumption is that Porzingis would head to the Boston Celtics where they'd likely give him an extension this summer. […]

Grant Williams Sign-And-Trade Could Still Happen

Boston Celtics forward Grant Williams has been drawing a ton of buzz recently as he's set to become a restricted free agent this summer. The 24-year-old is coming off hand surgery, but it doesn't appear that's going to impact his value. Williams has been a key contributor for this championship contending roster for multiple seasons. […]

Danilo Gallinari Expected To Be Involved In Three-Team Trade

Boston Celtics forward Danilo Gallinari might not get a chance to even suit up for Boston. The 34-year-old signed with the organization last offseason, but missed the entire season due to a torn ACL. He recently accepted his $6.8 million player option for next season, but it probably won't be in Boston. Recent reports are […]

Derrick Jones Jr. Declines Player Option

Chicago Bulls forward Derrick Jones Jr. has decided to decline his $3.3 million player option for next season. The 26-year-old is now set to become an unrestricted free agent this summer. Jones has been a solid depth piece for the Bulls over the last two seasons. He averaged 5.0 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 0.5 assists […]

Kenta Maeda To Start On Friday

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Kenta Maeda (triceps) will take the mound versus the Detroit Tigers on Friday. The 35-year-old has been sidelined since late April due to a right triceps strain. Before that, Maeda made four starts and didn't look good at all. That being said, fantasy managers might want to take a wait-and-see approach […]

Corey Kluber Lands On 15-Day Injured List

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Corey Kluber (shoulder) has been placed on the 15-day injured list on Wednesday. This comes a day after Kluber was crushed in a three-inning out versus the Minnesota Twins. The 37-year-old was recently demoted to the bullpen after a horrendous beginning to the season. Hopefully, some time off will help […]

Chris Taylor To Miss Fourth Straight Game

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder/outfielder Chris Taylor (knee) remains out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. The 32-year-old was injured during Friday's game while running the bases. He will now miss his fourth game in a row because of the issue. It's the same knee that required a cortisone injection […]

Gio Urshela Likely To Miss Rest Of Season

Los Angeles Angels infielder Gio Urshela (pelvis) is expected to miss the rest of the season, according to manager Phil Nevin. The veteran infielder landed on the injured list over the weekend due to a left pelvis fracture. The good news is, Urshela won't need surgery, but he isn't expected to be able to play […]
