Toronto Raptors guard Kyle Lowry (thumb) is reportedly going to be fine for Wednesday's Game 1 versus the Milwaukee Bucks. He sprained his left thumb during Game 7 against the Philadelphia 76ers. However, he's not listed on the injury report, so he's good to go for this one. Lowry hasn't done much lately, but maybe […]

Kevin Durant Ruled Out for Game 2
Golden State Warriors forward Kevin Durant (calf) has been ruled out for Game 2 versus the Portland Trail Blazers on Thursday. It appears Durant is going to miss his third postseason game in a row. The Warriors won Game 1 soundly without KD, so there isn't much of a reason to rush him back. Andrew […]

Damian Lillard Should Be Fine for Thursday
Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard (hamstring) said that he was sore after Tuesday's Game 1 versus the Golden State Warriors. Lillard believes it's more of a bruise than a strain, so that's great news. He might not be at 100 percent, but he's going to play in Game 2 on Thursday.

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher David Price (elbow) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Friday. He has already thrown a few sessions and it appears he's making solid progress.

David Peralta Exits Early on Wednesday
Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder David Peralta (back) left early during Wednesday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Blake Swihart replaced him in left field on Wednesday. Peralta is undergo testing […]

Felix Hernandez Likely Out A Few Weeks
Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Felix Hernandez (lat) has been diagnosed with a Grade 1 strain of his right lat. Luckily, this is actually a minor injury, so Hernandez might only be out for a couple of weeks. His 6.52 ERA through eight starts didn't carry much fantasy value anyway. He might return by the end […]

Daniel Murphy is Out on Tuesday
Colorado Rockies first baseman Daniel Murphy (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Boston Red Sox. This does not appear to be injury related, so it's likely because the Rockies want to go with a right-handed batter against lefty starter Chris Sale. Mark Reynolds will play first base and bat […]

Washington Nationals infielder Howie Kendrick (neck) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the New York Mets. Kendrick hasn't played since Friday due to neck stiffness.

Nelson Cruz Remains Out on Tuesday
Minnesota Twins designated hitter Nelson Cruz (wrist) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Angels.

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (shoulder) has been diagnosed with a left shoulder strain.

Rodney Hood is Questionable for Game 1
Portland Trail Blazers guard/forward Rodney Hood (knee) has been listed as questionable for Game 1 versus the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday.

DeMarcus Cousins Unlikely to Play This Series
Golden State Warriors center DeMarcus Cousins (quad) is unlikely to suit up for this playoff series versus the Portland Trail Blazers. Cousins tore his left quad and hasn't even been cleared for contact yet. The Warriors are going to take the cautious approach here, so Cousins probably won't return this postseason. There is a good […]

Kevin Durant Ruled Out for Game 1
Golden State Warriors forward Kevin Durant (calf) has reportedly been ruled out for Game 1 versus the Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday.

Josh Jackson Could Be Traded This Summer
Phoenix Suns forward Josh Jackson could be traded this summer, according to Evan Sidery. Jackson has not exactly turned into the player that the Suns thought he was going to, so he could end up playing elsewhere next year. His latest arrest at the Rolling Loud Miami Music Festival doesn't help his case. John Gambadoro, […]

Kyle Seager Will Begin Rehab Assignment on Tuesday
Seattle Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager (hand) is expected to begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A on Tuesday.

He should be […]

Jung Ho Kang Lands on the Injured List
Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Jung Ho Kang (oblique) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. Kang hasn't been hitting well this season, so it's probably not the worst thing in the world to give him some rest. Kevin Newman will draw the start at third base and bat seventh versus lefty Robbie Ray on […]

Aaron Hicks Activated, Starting Monday
New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks (back) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Monday. He missed almost seven weeks due to a lingering back issue, but appears ready to play now.

Jonathan Loaisiga Placed On Injured List
New York Yankees starting pitcher Jonathan Loaisiga (shoulder) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. Luis Cessa will draw the start versus the Baltimore Orioles on Monday. Loaisiga is dealing with a right shoulder strain, so it's unclear how much time he could be sidelined. He wasn't pitching great before the injury, so fantasy […]

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun (hamstring) is out of the starting lineup on Monday versus the Philadelphia Phillies. This marks the third game in a row that Braun has missed due to a left hamstring issue. Braun is expected to be available off the bench, but he's not worth starting in fantasy lineups for a […]
