Jesus Luzardo Might Return As Reliever

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Jesus Luzardo (hand) could return to the MLB roster as a relief pitcher, according to manager Bob Melvin. It's wouldn't be a long term role, but it would be a way for Oakland to get him back on the roster faster. Luzardo is currently scheduled to make a rehab start in […]

Mitch Moreland Likely Out Longer Than Expected

Oakland Athletics first baseman Mitch Moreland (rib) is not expected to come off the injured list when first eligible. He has resumed baseball activities and is doing well, but isn't quite ready yet. The veteran left-handed bat is working his way back from an inflamed costochondral junction of his left rib. He was not exactly […]

Tyler O'Neill Should Return This Week

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill (finger) is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list at some point this week.

Cody Ponce Will Start Tuesday Versus Cubs

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Cody Ponce will draw the start against the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday. This will be his first appearance with the team this year after posting a 3.15 ERA in a few outings last season. Ponce missed some time early in the season due to a forearm issue.

Fried pitched seven innings, allowing one run, four hits, three walks, and two strikeouts. The young lefty was efficient and only needed 87 pitches during his […]

Atlanta Braves outfielder Austin Riley appears to be finally turning a corner over his last 150 plate appearances or so.

Ryan Yarbrough Will Start On Monday

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Ryan Yarbrough will make the start against the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday, according to manager Kevin Cash. The veteran lefty is scheduled to make two starts this week, which could make him an intriguing fantasy pickup. Sadly, Yarbrough has been fairly disappointing on the mound through his first 46 […]

Tanner Houck Resumes Throwing Program

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Tanner Houck (elbow) has resumed his throwing program, according to Red Sox pitching coach Dave Bush. It sounds like it won't be long before he's back in the Triple-A starting rotation. Although, the team is going to ease him back to full speed out of caution. It's worth noting that […]

Ty France Could Be Activated Monday

Seattle Mariners second baseman Ty France (wrist) could be activated on Monday, according to manager Scott Servais.

Michael Pineda Should Return Wednesday

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Michael Pineda (thigh) is expected to return from the injured list on Wednesday.

Victor Reyes Likely To Be Recalled Before Monday's Game

Detroit Tigers outfielder Victor Reyes is expected to be recalled from Triple-A prior to Monday's game against the Cleveland Indians.

Since then, he […]

Goran Dragic Shoots Extremely Well Saturday

Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic was seemingly knocking down everything during Saturday's Game 1 versus the Milwaukee Bucks.

Duncan Robinson Knocks Down Seven Threes

Miami Heat forward Duncan Robinson was one of the few bright spots for this team during Saturday's Game 1 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. Robinson finished with 24 points, two rebounds, two assists and seven 3-pointers. Both Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo were horrendous from the floor, so they needed someone to step up. Robinson […]

Jimmy Butler Has Brutal Game 1 Outing

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler was horrendous from the floor throughout Saturday's Game 1 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. He made 4-of-22 field goal attempts, which is not a joke. Butler could not buy a bucket in this game, but did make the layup that pushed this game into overtime. Butler scored 17 points, 10 […]

Khris Middleton Hits Big Shot In Game 1

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton was not having a good night shooting the basketball. He finished 10-for-22 from the floor with 27 points, six rebounds, and six assists in Saturday's victory over the Miami Heat. Middleton also knocked down a shot with five-tenths of a second, which was the difference-maker in Game 1. The Bucks […]

Jrue Holiday Records Double-Double In Playoff Victory

Milwaukee Bucks guard Jrue Holiday was acquired in the hopes that he could take this team to the next level. He certainly looked like he could do that during Saturday's Game 1 against the Miami Heat. Holiday finished with 20 points, 11 rebounds, three assists and three steals in the victory over Miami. It's worth […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Struggles With His Shot In Game 1

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (elbow) did not look comfortable shooting the basketball during Saturday's Game 1 against the Miami Heat.

He appeared to injure his elbow late in the game […]

Scott Kazmir A Possible Option To Pitch Saturday

San Francisco Giants pitcher Scott Kazmir was scratched from his scheduled start in Triple-A on Friday.

Brock Holt Activated, Starts At Third Base On Friday

Texas Rangers infielder Brock Holt (hamstring) was activated off the 10-day injured list on Friday. The 32-year-old infielder/outfielder had been sidelined since early May due to a hamstring issue.

Jesus Luzardo Will Throw On Sunday

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Jesus Luzardo (hand) is scheduled to throw his next bullpen session on Sunday. He reportedly felt good after his 30-pitch bullpen session on Thursday.

Aledmys Diaz Exits Due To Injury

Houston Astros infielder Aledmys Diaz (hamstring) was unable to get through Friday's game against the Texas Rangers. He left during the fifth inning due to hamstring tightness.

Bryse Wilson Recalled, Starting Saturday

Kolten Wong Avoids Serious Injury

Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Kolten Wong (arm) was forced to exit early during Friday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. He was hit by a pitch, but the X-rays came back negative, according to Brewers manager Craig Counsell. The team is currently considering Wong day-to-day right now. It sounds like he avoided any serious injury, but […]

Yankees Discussing Delino DeShields Trade

Texas Rangers outfielder Delino DeShields could possibly be on the move here soon. It appears that the New York Yankees are showing interest in the 29-year-old speedy outfielder. This trade would make sense on paper as the Yankees are shorthanded in the outfield due to injuries. Texas has not been using DeShields, despite him absolutely […]

Randy Dobnak Will Start Friday

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Randy Dobnak has been recalled from the minors to make the start against the Cleveland Indians on Friday. The Twins have not announced who they will send down in a corresponding move. Dobnak has struggled this season, posting an ugly 8.16 ERA over 14 1/3 innings with four home runs allowed. […]

He allowed one earned run […]

Kenta Maeda Will Start Versus Indians

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Kenta Maeda (groin) will make his start against the Cleveland Indians on Saturday. He was dealing with groin tightness last time he pitched, but he appears to be fine now. Maeda is posting a 5.26 ERA through 37 2/3 innings this season, which has been frustrating for fantasy managers. It has […]

William Contreras Blasts Three-Run Homer

Atlanta Braves catcher William Contreras smacked his fourth home run of the season during Thursday's loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates. It was a three-run shot to left field off righty Wil Crowe in the second inning. Contreras has been able to hold his own since joining the Braves roster.
