Lucas Sims Could Return On Friday

Cincinnati Reds relief pitcher Lucas Sims (elbow) could return to the big league bullpen by Friday. It appears that the plan is for Sims to make at least two more rehab outings in Triple-A. After that, the Reds are hopeful Sims can return for their homestand against the St. Louis Cardinals. The 27-year-old should be […]

Michael Porter Jr. Could Return In First Round

Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. (back) has a chance at returning to the court during the first round series against the Golden State Warriors. The young forward hasn't played since early November. However, Porter would obviously give this unit a boost, but the Nuggets aren't going to rush him back to the court. It […]

Luka Doncic Unlikely To Play In Game 2

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (calf) is unlikely to suit up for Monday's Game 2 matchup against the Utah Jazz. The All-Star guard was forced to miss their first matchup and could very well miss a majority of this series. Both Spencer Dinwiddie and Jalen Brunson held their own out there in Game 1. Each […]

Gary Trent Jr. Misses Sunday's Practice

Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. (illness) was unable to participate in Sunday's practice. The team is calling it a non-COVID related illness, but Trent is considered doubtful for Monday's Game 2 matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers. The Raptors could use Trent out there with Scottie Barnes (ankle) unlikely to suit up. Otherwise, Malachi Flynn […]

Scottie Barnes Tagged As Doubtful For Monday

Toronto Raptors forward Scottie Barnes (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Monday's Game 2 matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers. He is expected to undergo an MRI on Sunday, so fantasy managers might have to wait until after that for better information. Barnes exited early during Game 1 with what looked like a bad ankle injury. […]

Thaddeus Young Unlikely To Play In Game 2

Toronto Raptors forward Thaddeus Young (thumb) is unlikely to suit up for Game 2 against the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday. He was forced to exit early during Game 1 due to a sprained left thumb. The veteran forward will undergo an MRI, so those results should be known later in the day. Fantasy managers should […]

Corey Seager Not In The Lineup

Texas Rangers infielder Corey Seager (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. The lefty slugger appears to be getting a routine day off. Charlie Culberson will cover second base and bat seventh versus lefty Jose Suarez. The fact that the Rangers are facing a left-handed starter could […]

Yadier Molina To Sit Out Sunday

St. Louis Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. The veteran catcher appears to be getting a routine day off here. Molina is off to a slow start at the plate this season, but everyone knows what he is capable of doing with the […]

Jonathan India To Remain Sidelined

Cincinnati Reds infielder Jonathan India (hamstring) was hopeful to get back in the lineup this weekend. He exited early during Thursday's game due to hamstring tightness and has been sidelined since then. The hope is that India can avoid a trip to the injured list and play early next week. Until then, Brandon Drury will […]

Joey Bart Not In The Lineup On Sunday

San Francisco Giants catcher Joey Bart (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Cleveland Guardians. The young catcher has been hitting fairly well through seven games with two home runs and four runs knocked in. However, the Giants will give him a break for Sunday's contest. Curt Casali will draw […]

Yordan Alvarez Hopeful To Return On Monday

Houston Astros designated hitter Yordan Alvarez (illness) is hopeful that he can get back in the lineup for Monday's game. This is great news for fantasy managers who have been without Alvarez for the last week. The organization is hopeful that Alvarez can be activated in time for Monday's contest against the Los Angeles Angels. […]

Keibert Ruiz Sitting Out On Sunday

Washington Nationals catcher Keibert Ruiz (rest) won't be in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. This appears to be a routine day off for the switch-hitting catcher. Fellow youngster Riley Adams will cover behind the plate and bat eighth versus lefty Jose Quintana. As of right now, neither catcher is bringing […]

Wil Myers Absent On Saturday

San Diego Padres outfielder Wil Myers (thumb) is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Atlanta Braves. He'll miss his second game in a row due to right thumb soreness. The 31-year-old isn't expected to miss much time, so hopefully he can avoid a trip to the injured list. Possibly, Myers will […]

Travis d'Arnaud Sitting Out On Saturday

Atlanta Braves catcher Travis d'Arnaud (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the San Diego Padres. The 33-year-old has been hitting well this season, so this appears to be a routine day off. Veteran catcher Manny Pina will draw the start behind the plate and bat ninth versus right-hander Nick Martinez. […]

Eddie Rosario Returns To The Lineup On Saturday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Eddie Rosario (rest) will return to the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the San Diego Padres. The lefty outfielder sat out on Friday due to the fact left-hander MacKenzie Gore was making the start. Rosario will play right field and bat eighth versus righty Nick Martinez on Saturday. Thus far, Rosario […]

Nick Senzel Could Return On Saturday

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Nick Senzel (illness) has been out of the lineup since colliding with teammates Tommy Pham on Tuesday. He has missed each of the last three games due to illness and not because of the collision with Pham. The young outfielder was reportedly feeling better on Friday. Possibly, Senzel returns to the lineup […]

Josh Harrison Back In The Lineup On Saturday

Chicago White Sox infielder Josh Harrison (back) will return to the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. He missed each of the last two games due to back stiffness. The veteran infielder will cover third base and bat seventh versus righty Corey Kluber. Harrison is a nice addition off the bench […]

Josh Taylor To Begin Rehab Assignment On Sunday

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Josh Taylor (back) will begin his rehab assignment in Triple-A on Sunday. Taylor opened the season on the 10-day injured list due to a lower back strain. The plan is that Taylor will throw on Sunday and hopefully be able to return to the big leagues after that. The 29-year-old […]

Zach Eflin Roughed Up By Marlins

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Zach Eflin struggled early during Friday's loss to the Miami Marlins. Eflin allowed four earned runs through his first two innings of work. However, he settled down after that, but only went four innings on Friday. The Phillies continue to have Eflin on a pitch count as he is returning from […]

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Blasts Fifth Homer

Toronto Blue Jays corner infielder Vladimir Guerrero Jr. put together a solid performance against the Oakland Athletics on Friday. The young slugger went 2-for-3 with a home run and a walk in the 4-1 victory. Guerrero is the first player to reach five home runs this season. He has an impressive .367/.406/.900 batting line with […]

Brent Suter Exits Early On Friday

Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Brent Suter (head) was forced to exit early during Friday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. The lefty reliever ran headfirst into the railing while chasing a foul ball. Suter seemed fine afterwards and even attempted to stay in the game. However, the Brewers decided to be cautious and take him out […]

Cedric Mullins Goes Hitless On Friday

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Cedric Mullins struggled at the plate during Friday's victory over the New York Yankees. The young outfielder went 0-for-5 with two strikeouts in the extra inning victory. Mullins has only five hits on the season with a horrendous 13/1 K/BB ratio to date. Hopefully, this is just a little slump for Mullins […]

Luka Doncic Officially Ruled Out For Game 1

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (calf) has been ruled out for Saturday's Game 1 contest against the Utah Jazz. This doesn't come as a surprise considering Doncic was doubtful heading into the beginning of this series. Jalen Brunson and Spencer Dinwiddie will be asked to pick up the slack. Both are capable options, but it's […]

Bam Adebayo Remains Absent

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo is still away from the team as of Friday. The big man has until Sunday to clear the league's health and safety protocols. Otherwise, Dewayne Dedmon and Omer Yurtseven will be asked to fill the void during Game 1. Often times, head coach Erik Spoelstra favors Dedmon in his rotation […]

Jarrett Allen Will Suit Up On Friday

Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen (finger) is expected to suit up for Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Allen has been out for over a month, but will make his return to the court for their win or go home matchup. Fantasy managers should expect Allen to be in the starting five and to play […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic Remains Uncertain For Friday

Atlanta Hawks guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (ankle) is listed as a game-time decision for Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He has been playing through his ankle issue lately, but we'll see if he can give it a go on Friday. Otherwise, Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot would be in line for more playing time. Although, Kevin Huerter and […]

Stephen Curry Likely To Suit Up For Game 1

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (foot) is reportedly looking good ahead of Saturday's Game 1 matchup. The organization mentioned that Curry looked fine during Thursday's scrimmage. Head coach Steve Kerr is hopeful Curry plays, but the team will likely wait until the last minute to make it official. Obviously, the Warriors chances of winning […]

Paul George Won't Play Versus Pelicans

Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George has been ruled out for Friday's win-or-go-home matchup against the New Orleans Pelicans. The All-Star forward will sit out due to the league's health and safety protocols after testing positive for COVID-19. This is obviously a huge blow to the Clippers, but this team is used to playing without […]

Carson Kelly To Sit Out On Friday

Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Carson Kelly (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the New York Mets. Kelly is 0-for-15 on the season with six strikeouts, so he could certainly use a day off to try and gain some momentum. Jose Herrera is bat eighth and cover behind home plate against righty […]

Taijuan Walker Continues Making Progress

New York Mets starting pitcher Taijuan Walker (shoulder) was able to play catch for the second day in a row on Friday. Walker is feeling good and expects to throw a bullpen session on Sunday.
