New York Knicks guard Trevor Keels is expected to be waived by the organization. This news comes days after Keels reportedly signed a two-way deal with the team.

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Kyle Anderson (eye) is set to represent China in the upcoming World Cup. That is good news after Anderson underwent left eye surgery in mid-May.

Free-agent guard Jaylen Nowell is not expected to return to the Minnesota Timberwolves this upcoming season.

Suns Remain Interest In T.J. McConnell

Indiana Pacers guard T.J. McConnell could be on the move this offseason with the Phoenix Suns showing interest in him. The Suns are in need of a backup point guard after trading Cameron Payne to the San Antonio Spurs earlier this month. The difficult part is that the Suns don't have many tradable assets at […]

Nick Pratto Absent On Monday

Kansas City Royals first baseman Nick Pratto is absent from Monday's starting lineup against the Cleveland Guardians. This appears to be a routine rest day for the 24-year-old slugger.

Texas Rangers outfielder Adolis Garcia (hand) remains out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Houston Astros. The 30-year-old slugger was hit by a pitch on the hand during Saturday's game. He sat out of Sunday's contest as a precaution and will miss this game as well. It sounds like a day-to-day issue, […]

Raimel Tapia Elects Free Agency

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Raimel Tapia has decided to elect free agency on Monday.

Kris Bryant Remains Out On Monday

Colorado Rockies outfielder Kris Bryant (finger) is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Washington Nationals. The right-handed slugger will miss his second straight game as he continues to nurse a finger contusion he suffered over the weekend. The assumption is that he'll avoid the injured list, so fantasy managers should consider […]

Javier Baez Sitting Out On Monday

Detroit Tigers shortstop Javier Baez is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the San Francisco Giants. Baez has struggled throughout most of the season so far. However, he's put together a solid .710 OPS with one home run and three steals since the All-Star break. Hopefully, it's a sign of good things […]

Reds Willing To Trade Jonathan India

Cincinnati Reds infielder Jonathan India could be on the trade block as the trade deadline quickly approaches. The 26-year-old appears to be the odd man out as the Reds continue to call up their young infield prospects. That being said, the Reds appear to be ready to move India in order to open up a […]

Trevor Story Beginning Rehab Assignment On Monday

Boston Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story (elbow) had his minor league rehab assignment with Triple-A Worcester moved to Monday.

Alek Manoah Delivers Decent Performance

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Alek Manoah was asked to take the mound against the Seattle Mariners on Sunday. The right-hander looked decent as he struck out six batters on the afternoon.

Cody Bellinger Hits Two-Run Homer

Chicago Cubs outfielder/first baseman Cody Bellinger has been seemingly unstoppable at the plate over the last month.

He would finished the day with three […]

Shohei Ohtani Blasts 36th Home Run

The right-hander went six innings, allowing six hits and two runs while striking out four batters. The 24-year-old earned a quality start for his effort, but also was handed a no-decision. He'll carry a 4.19 ERA, 1.32 […]

Bryan Abreu Earns Third Save

Houston Astros relief pitcher Bryan Abreu was called upon to protect a one-run lead versus the Oakland Athletics on Sunday. Normally, Ryan Pressly is the closer in Houston, but he received an off day here. In his absence, Abreu came in and retired all three batters he faced, including two strikeouts. The 26-year-old recorded his […]
