Raptors Focused On Re-Signing Fred Vanvleet, Jakob Poeltl

Toronto Raptors guard Fred VanVleet and center Jakob Poeltl are both expected to hit the open market this summer. Despite that, it sounds like the organization is making a strong push to bring both players back. The Raptors gave up a protected first-round pick in exchange for Poeltl at the trade deadline. They'd hate to […]

Cavaliers Don't Intend On Trading Darius Garland

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland doesn't appear to be on the trade block this offseason. The organization reportedly hasn't discussed moving Garland and don't intend on trading the All-Star guard. This doesn't come as a shock considering they've locked up Garland through the 2027 campaign. The 23-year-old has been reliable, averaging 21.6 points, 2.7 rebounds, […]

Gabriel Moreno Resting On Wednesday

Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Gabriel Moreno is out of Wednesday's starting lineup versus the Tampa Bay Rays.

Carson Kelly will start behind the […]

Luis Rengifo Absent On Wednesday

Los Angeles Angels infielder Luis Rengifo is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Chicago White Sox. The 26-year-old snapped his four-game hitless streak with a triple during Tuesday's game. Despite that, he'll get a breather on Wednesday, but should be back in the lineup soon. In the meantime, Eduardo Escobar will […]

Jose Trevino Not In The Lineup On Wednesday

New York Yankees catcher Jose Trevino is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Oakland Athletics. This appears to be a routine rest day for the 30-year-old catcher.

Brandon Pfaadt Likely To Start On Thursday

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Brandon Pfaadt is expected to take the ball against the Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday.

The right-hander was impressive in spring […]

Marcus Stroman To Throw Bullpen Session On Thursday

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Marcus Stroman (finger) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Thursday. The right-hander was pulled out of his start on Sunday due to a blister on his right index finger. This doesn't appear to be something that should force Stroman onto the injured list. The expectation is that he's going […]

Seiya Suzuki Absent On Wednesday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki (neck) is absent from Wednesday's starting lineup against the Philadelphia Phillies. It sounds like Suzuki woke up with neck stiffness, so the team doesn't want to risk anything. This doesn't sound like a significant injury, so fantasy managers should consider Suzuki as day-to-day. In the meantime, Christopher Morel will cover […]

Shohei Ohtani Remains In The Lineup On Wednesday

Los Angeles Angels designated hitter/pitcher Shohei Ohtani (finger) will remain in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Chicago White Sox. The two-way superstar was removed from Tuesday's start due to a cracked fingernail. This appears to be a minor issue and it won't keep Ohtani out the lineup on Wednesday. He'll serve as […]

Cal Quantrill Expected To Start On Friday

Cleveland Guardians starting pitcher Cal Quantrill (shoulder) is scheduled to return for Friday's game against the Chicago Cubs. The right-hander has been sidelined since the beginning of June due to a shoulder issue. He looked sharp during his lone rehab start on Sunday in Double-A. Before the injury, Quantrill had a 5.61 ERA (4.92 FIP), […]

Michael Massey Could Avoid Rehab Assignment

Kansas City Royals infielder Michael Massey (finger) was placed on the 10-day injured list last week.

Brandon Woodruff Throws Successful Bullpen Session

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) was able to throw a successful 25-pitch bullpen session on Tuesday. The right-hander was able to mix in both fastballs and breaking pitches during this session. The expectation is that Woodruff will continue raising his pitch count during bullpen sessions until he's ready to face live hitters. The […]

Cody Bellinger Returning On Tuesday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Cody Bellinger (illness) is back in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. The left-handed slugger missed the finale of the London Series due to a minor illness. It appears he's set to return and will only miss one game because the team had a scheduled off-day on Monday. […]

Matthew Boyd To Undergo Tommy John Surgery

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Matthew Boyd (elbow) has been placed on the 60-day injured list on Tuesday. That is not good news after Boyd exited early during Monday's start against the Texas Rangers due to elbow discomfort. Now, it appears the left-hander is set to miss the rest of the season due to a partial […]

Damian Lillard Remains Committed To Blazers

Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard met with the organization on Monday to discuss the direction of the team. The meeting must've gone well as general manager Joe Cronin said the team remains committed to building a winner around Lillard.

Orlando Robinson, Jamal Cain Receive Qualifying Offers

Miami Heat center Orlando Robinson and forward Jamal Cain have both received two-way qualifying offers from the organization. Both players are restricted free agents, so doing this gives the Heat a chance to match any offers these players receive in free agency. However, it sounds like both players already intend on playing for the Heat's […]

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Chet Holmgren (foot) is hopeful to suit up for the upcoming summer league, according to the team's general manager Sam Presti.

Nets Prepared To Match Offer Sheet On Cameron Johnson

Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson is expected to have a fairly significant free agent market this summer. The 27-year-old is coming off a season where he averaged a career-high 16.6 points with 4.8 rebounds, and 2.1 assists in 25 games with the Nets. The potential is there for Johnson to be a legitimate force in […]

Pistons Could Have Interest In Draymond Green

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green recently declined his player option, which means he's heading to free agency. Despite that, Green is expected to remain with the Warriors long term. However, the Detroit Pistons and Sacramento Kings are reportedly possible suitors for Green. On paper, Green does make sense for multiple teams considering he is […]

Suns To Work Out Jabari Parker, Stanley Johnson

The Phoenix Suns are scheduled to have a free agent workout on Wednesday. Some of the notably names attending are forwards Jabari Parker and Stanley Johnson. It appears the Suns are checking every avenue for help right now. Parker hasn't played in the NBA since the 2021-2022 campaign with the Boston Celtics. He's a former […]

Jazz Acquire John Collins From Hawks

Atlanta Hawks forward John Collins appears to be finally on the move after being subject to trade rumors for what seemed like at least a season. The Utah Jazz will acquire Collins from the Hawks in exchange for Rudy Gay and a future second-round pick. This appears to be a salary dump for the Hawks […]

Elvis Peguero Records First Career Save

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Elvis Peguero has been surprisingly solid out of the bullpen this season. The right-hander has a 2.89 ERA and a 25/11 K/BB ratio in 28 innings of work. He was asked to hold the lead versus the Cleveland Guardians on Sunday. Normally, Devin Williams is the closer, but he pitched a […]

Ryne Nelson Outstanding On Sunday

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Ryne Nelson looked outstanding during his start against the San Francisco Giants on Sunday. The right-hander racked up six strikeouts over seven strong innings of work. Nelson only allowed one-run, while issuing two free passes during this outing. He was nearly flawless in this game, so the D-Backs are hopeful this […]

Washington Nationals starting pitcher MacKenzie Gore was on his game versus the San Diego Padres on Sunday. The left-hander struck out nine batters, while only allowing a pair of walks in five innings of work. Gore gave up five hits in this game, but the only one that hurt was an RBI single by Fernando […]

Jeimer Candelario Homers For Second Straight Game

Washington Nationals third baseman Jeimer Candelario has been a reliable option in the middle of the order all season long. The switch-hitter continued his hot stretch of play versus the San Diego Padres on Sunday. Candelario opened up the scoring with a 427-foot solo home run in the first inning. In the seventh inning, Candelario […]

Hunter Brown Looks Terrific In No-Decision

Houston Astros starting pitcher Hunter Brown looked like he was in complete command throughout Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
