Corbin Carroll Resting On Sunday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll is out of the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. It's a bit odd to see Carroll out of the lineup following a two-homer game. However, the D-Backs are planning to play matchups here against a left-handed starting pitcher. Ketel Marte will serve as the […]

River Ryan To Join Rotation After All-Star Break

Los Angeles Dodgers pitching prospect River Ryan is expected to be called up following the All-Star break. The 25-year-old has become one of the Dodgers' best pitching prospects. He holds a 2.21 ERA and a 27/7 K/BB across seven appearances (five starts) in Triple-A this season. The Dodgers haven't said whether Ryan is going to […]

Luis Arraez Sitting Out Versus Southpaw

San Diego Padres infielder Luis Arraez is out of the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Atlanta Braves. Fantasy managers don't need to worry about an injury as this appears to be a matchups decision. In his place, Donovan Solano will serve as the designated hitter and bat second versus left-hander Chris Sale. […]

Jason Heyward Should Return After All-Star Break

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Jason Heyward (knee) is likely to be activated from the injured list following the All-Star break. The veteran outfielder landed on the injured list earlier this month due to a left knee contusion. It sounds like Heyward is making progress and won't require a rehab assignment before heading back to Los […]

Clayton Kershaw Could Return Soon

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw (shoulder) was sharp on the mound during his latest rehab start with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday. The southpaw struck out five batters over three scoreless innings. Kershaw walked one batter and didn't allow a hit during this rehab start. The organization seemed thrilled about the progress Kershaw […]

Brice Sensabaugh Doesn't Return On Saturday

Utah Jazz forward Brice Sensabaugh (finger) was unable to return during Saturday's exhibition game against the Dallas Mavericks. He suffered an apparent finger injury during the first half of the game. Possibly a dislocation, but the Jazz don't believe it'll be a long term issue. He finished the game with three points, two rebounds, and […]

Cody Williams Notches 21 Points

Utah Jazz guard Cody Williams put together a solid game from the floor during Saturday's win over the Dallas Mavericks. Williams struggled in three games during the summer league, but he picked it up during his exhibition contest. He went 9-for-15 from the field, while scoring 21 points, three rebounds, and four assists in the […]

Taj Gibson Joining Hornets

The Charlotte Hornets have reportedly signed center Taj Gibson on Saturday. The veteran big man heads to Charlotte on a one-year deal for $3.3 million for the 2024 season. The 39-year-old averaged 1.7 points and 1.9 rebounds across 10.3 minutes in 20 games last season. He's a valuable veteran presence for this young roster. However, […]

Patrick Williams Should Be Ready For Camp

Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (foot) said on Saturday that the bone in his foot is finally fully healed. The 22-year-old is running and jumping without any pain after undergoing season-ending surgery in February. Williams averaged 10.0 points, 3.9 rebounds, 1.5 assists in 43 games last season. He recently signed a five-year, $90 million extension […]

Sean Murphy Taking A Seat On Friday

Atlanta Braves catcher Sean Murphy is out of the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the San Diego Padres. Fantasy managers don't need to panic as this appears to be a routine rest day for Murphy. The veteran slugger hasn't been much of an asset with the bat this season. To be fair, Murphy […]

Jackson Rutledge To Start On Friday

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Jackson Rutledge has been recalled to start against the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday. The 25-year-old will make at least one start in the rotation, but it's uncertain if he'll remain there following the All-Star break. Rutledge has a 6.66 ERA, 1.65 WHIP, and 70/40 K/BB ratio across 16 starts in Triple-A […]

Garrett Crochet To Have Workload Monitored

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Garrett Crochet is expected to have his workload managed over the second half of the season. White Sox manager Pedro Grifol said Crochet is set to start the fifth game coming out of the All-Star break. He's also expected to see limited action during his start on Friday. Crochet has […]

Ketel Marte Absent On Friday

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte is out of the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. This appears to be a routine rest day for Marte who has started the last four games in a row. In his place, Kevin Newman will bat ninth and cover second base versus right-hander […]

Julian Merryweather To Make Rehab Outing On Friday

Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Julian Merryweather (shoulder) is scheduled to make another rehab appearance at Triple-A Iowa on Friday. The right-hander has been sidelined for most of the season due to a lingering shoulder issue. The organization is hopeful that Merryweather can rejoin the bullpen after the All-Star break. Merryweather was a viable option out […]

Adbert Alzolay To Face Live Hitters

Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Adbert Alzolay (forearm) is scheduled to throw a live bullpen session at the team's spring training complex in Arizona on Friday. The right-hander continues to work his way back from a forearm strain that has sidelined him since the middle of May. Barring any setbacks, Alzolay could be ready to rejoin […]

Joey Ortiz Activated And Starting On Friday

Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Joey Ortiz (neck) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Friday. The 25-year-old has been sidelined since the beginning of July due to neck inflammation. He'll jump right back in at bat eighth while covering third base versus Jackson Rutledge on Friday. In a corresponding move, infielder Vinny Capra […]

Bryce McGowens Joining Portland

The Portland Trail Blazers have reportedly signed guard Bryce McGowens to a two-way deal. The 21-year-old was waived by the Charlotte Hornets after averaging 24.5 points in a pair of Summer League games. McGowens averaged 5.1 points and 1.7 rebounds through 59 games with the Hornets last season. He'll head into a crowded Blazers rotation […]

Johnny Juzang Signing Four-Year Deal

Utah Jazz guard Johnny Juzang has agreed to a long-term extension with the organization. The 23-year-old has reportedly agreed to a four-year, $12 million deal with the Jazz. He has been fairly quiet through his first two seasons in Utah. Juzang averaged 7.2 points, 1.8 rebounds, and 1.1 assists in 18.6 minutes per game through […]

Jeff Green Remaining With Rockets

The Houston Rockets have agreed to a deal with forward Jeff Green. The veteran forward has agreed to a one-year, $9.6 million deal for the 2024-2025 season. Green averaged 6.5 points, 2.3 rebounds through 78 games with the Rockets last season. He only played an average of 16.8 minutes per game, which will possibly decrease […]

De'Von Achane Likely To See Increased Looks

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane put together a pretty fantastic rookie campaign last season. The 22-year-old rushed for 800 yards on 103 attempts and eight rushing scores in 11 games. He didn't play a full season and was only 200 yards shy of an 1,000-yard campaign. Recently, head coach Mike McDaniel said he hopes […]

Jo Adell Held Out On Wednesday

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jo Adell (illness) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Texas Rangers. Angels' manager Ron Washington said that Adell is dealing with the same illness that sidelined Brandon Drury last week. That being said, Adell could be looking at a lengthy absence. On Wednesday, Kevin Pillar […]

Jordan Lawlar Suffers Setback, Could Miss Another 6-8 Weeks

Arizona Diamondbacks shortstop prospect Jordan Lawlar (hamstring) is expected to miss more time after suffering a setback a few days ago.

[…]

Jorge Soler Remains Out Of The Lineup

San Francisco Giants outfielder Jorge Soler (illness) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays.

Mike Yastrzemski will start in his place in right field and bat seventh versus right-hander […]

Graham Ashcraft Lands On Injured List

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Graham Ashcraft (elbow) has been placed on the 15-day injured list on Wednesday. The 26-year-old was optioned back to Triple-A on Monday. It sounds like Ashcraft was attempting to pitch through the issue on the big league club. However, Ashcraft alerted the minor league club once he got there about his […]

Ramon Laureano Placed On Injured List

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ramon Laureano (oblique) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday. The veteran outfielder has been dealing with a lingering oblique issue for multiple weeks. He missed the last 12 games before the Braves decided to give him some time to rest. The expectation is that he'll return shortly after […]

Corbin Carroll Sitting Versus Southpaw

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll is out of the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Braves. Unsurprisingly, Carroll will take a seat against a left-handed starting pitcher. The 23-year-old is off to a sluggish start to the season after a breakout year in 2022. Despite that, fantasy managers should continue to hold […]

Taylor Ward Playing On Tuesday

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Taylor Ward (knee) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Texas Rangers. Ward will make his return to the lineup after missing one game due to a right knee contusion. He's back in left field and batting third versus right-hander Max Scherzer on Tuesday. Fantasy managers […]

Julio Rodriguez Back In Action

Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez (quad) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the San Diego Padres. The superstar slugger is back in the mix after missing one game due to a right quad issue. Rodriguez underwent an MRI that didn't reveal any structural damage. It sounds like Rodriguez is ready […]

Twins And White Sox Game Postponed On Tuesday

The contest between the Minnesota Twins and Chicago White Sox has been postponed on Tuesday. The forecast has steady rain in Chicago throughout the evening, so the two sides aren't going to take any chances. Instead, they will make up the game on Wednesday as part of a doubleheader. The assumption is that Bailey Ober […]

Jonathan India Scratched On Tuesday

Cincinnati Reds infielder Jonathan India (knee) has been scratched from Tuesday's starting lineup against the Colorado Rockies. It sounds like the Reds will take the cautious approach here with India dealing with a left-knee contusion. This doesn't sound too serious, so hopefully India will only miss a game or two. In the meantime, Santiago Espinal […]
