Questionable Video Surfaces Involving Jacob deGrom

New York Mets starting pitcher Jacob deGrom has found himself caught up in baseball's recent controversy surrounding pitchers and the use of foreign substances. A viral video surfaced over the last few days, which appeared to show the ace touching his belt and glove before tossing a pitch during a recent contest. deGrom has played […]

Gavin Lux Not Starting Against Texas On Saturday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Gavin Lux won't start on Saturday against the Rangers. Rangers southpaw Kolby Allard will be on the bump, so Dave Roberts will play it safe by keeping Lux and Cody Bellinger, who are both left-handed batters, out for strategic purposes. Instead, Mookie Betts will cover center field while Albert Pujols will […]

Cody Bellinger Not Starting On Saturday

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman/outfielder Cody Bellinger will not be in the starting lineup on Saturday against the Rangers. Kolby Allard has made life miserable for left-handed batters this season, so Dave Roberts made the call for strategic purposes. Gavin Lux will also be benched against Texas, so fantasy managers should expect Mookie Betts to […]

Travis Shaw Will Try To Avoid Surgery

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Travis Shaw (shoulder) will look to avoid surgery. The 31-year-old dislocated his left shoulder on Wednesday night during a meeting with the Reds but will attempt rehab before opting to go under the knife. He currently sits on the 10-day injured list, and if all goes well, he could be back before […]

Corey Seager Almost Ready For Rehab Assignment

Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Corey Seager (hand) is "about two weeks away" from reporting for a rehab assignment, according to manager Dave Roberts. Seager has been out of the mix since mid-May due to a fractured right hand, so the latest update from the skipper is certainly welcome news for fantasy managers. The 27-year-old is […]

Enoli Paredes Heads To The 10-Day IL

Houston Astros pitcher Enoli Paredes (shoulder) has been moved to the 10-day injured list. The 25-year-old exited Thursday's matchup against the Red Sox and was later diagnosed with a strained right shoulder. Paredes has appeared in 12 games this season, racking up a 6.23 ERA throughout just 8.2 innings of work. The 25-year-old has upside […]

Tyler Ivey Done For The Year

Houston Astros starting pitcher Tyler Ivey is done for the year. The 25-year-old may be heading for surgery to address Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, which is unfortunate news considering he recently made his MLB debut. Ivey currently owns a 7.71 ERA, with three strikeouts, throughout only one game this season. He isn't worth much from a […]

Chris Owings Nearly Ready For A Rehab Stint

Colorado Rockies second baseman Chris Owings (thumb) may begin a rehab assignment on Sunday, according to skipper Bud Black. The 29-year-old was eligible to come off the 60-day injured list on Wednesday, a space he has occupied since the beginning of April because of a sprained thumb. While Black's revelation certainly indicates Owings is making […]

Mike Moustakas Continues Making Progress

Cincinnati Reds infielder Mike Moustakas (heel) has reportedly been running the bases. Skipper David Bell recently indicated that the veteran is nearing a rehab assignment, which is welcome news for the veteran, who has been out since May 13 because of a bruised heel. The 32-year-old is already eligible to come off the 10-day injured […]

Coby White Undergoes Successful Surgery

Chicago Bulls guard Coby White (shoulder) underwent successful surgery on Thursday. White injured his left shoulder while playing in a game away from the team and is scheduled to be evaluated again in four months. Not good news for the former 2019 first-round pick, who had spots of efficiency during the 2021 campaign while also […]

Michael Porter Jr. Probable For Game 3

Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. (back) will likely play in Game 3 against Phoenix. The 22-year-old has been dealing with tightness in his lower back since Game 1 but still managed to suit up for Game 2 on Wednesday. However, he has struggled during this series, averaging just 13 points and 6.5 boards. With […]

PJ Dozier Out Again On Friday

Denver Nuggets guard PJ Dozier (hip) remains out ahead of the Game 3 matchup against Phoenix. Dozier hasn't played since the end of May, and with the Nuggets dropping the first two games of the series, we may have already seen the last of him this season. Facundo Campazzo and Austin Rivers should continue to […]

Joel Embiid Lands On The Injury Report Once Again

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) is questionable for the Game 3 matchup against Atlanta. Embiid carried the same designation heading into the first two contests of the series but still managed to play, so he will likely be in the lineup on Friday evening. The ailment hasn't slowed him down either, primarily after he […]

De’Andre Hunter Done For The Year

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of the postseason. Hunter tore the meniscus in his right knee and will need surgery, an unfortunate development after the former Virginia Cavalier was so instrumental defensively during the first-round meeting against the Knicks. His absence will open up more minutes for […]

Evan White Held Out Of Rehab Outing

Seattle Mariners first baseman Evan White (hip) was held out of Thursday's rehab start for Triple-A Tacoma. White was expected to play but reported he wasn't feeling right after taking batting practice before the game. He likely isn't on many fantasy lineups, so the latest development probably didn't upset too many fantasy managers. However, it […]

X-Rays Negative On Colin Moran’s Hand

Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Colin Moran (hand) is considered day-to-day moving ahead. The 28-year-old was pulled from Wednesday's outing against the Dodgers after taking a pitch to his right hand. He wasn't in the lineup on Thursday, but fortunately, X-rays were negative, meaning he could be back sometime over the next few days. Moran is […]

Miguel Rojas Takes Batting Practice On Thursday

Miami Marlins shortstop Miguel Rojas (finger) took batting practice before Thursday's contest against the Rockies. This is a step in the right direction after he recently resumed baseball activities on Tuesday. The veteran is currently batting .275 to go along with 47 hits, 32 runs, 16 RBI, and four stolen bases throughout 171 at-bats this […]

David Bell Mum On Tejay Antone's Status

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Tejay Antone wasn't available for Thursday's matchup against Milwaukee. David Bell didn't indicate why the 27-year-old wasn't in uniform, although the skipper did suggest that he would reveal more about his status sometime on Friday. Antone has played well this season, currently owning a 1-0 record and a 1.14 ERA, with […]

Aristides Aquino Could Be Activated Soon

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Aristides Aquino (wrist) could be activated as early as Sunday's matchup against the Rockies. The 27-year-old had surgery on his hamate bone in April and has slowly been working his way back since, recently participating in a rehab assignment at Triple-A Louisville. Aquino is batting .231 this season but may have a […]

Adalberto Mondesi Spotted Taking Batting Practice

Kansas City Royals shortstop Adalberto Mondesi (hamstring) was observed taking batting practice on Tuesday. The speedster is currently on the 10-day injured list because of a left hamstring ailment, but it appears as if he is trending in the right direction. Mondesi has played well this season despite the small sample size, batting .360 to […]

Trevor Story Could Be Activated By Thursday

Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story (elbow) could be activated for Thursday's matchup against Miami, according to skipper Bud Black. The veteran was expected back on Tuesday or Wednesday, so fantasy managers should take Black's recent prediction with a grain of salt. Story has been out since the end of May because of right elbow inflammation, […]

Tyler Naquin Should Be Back Soon

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Tyler Naquin (hamstring) isn't expected to need an IL stint. The veteran injured his left hamstring during Sunday's outing against the Cardinals, and he hasn't been back in the lineup since. However, skipper David Bell didn't seem too overly concerned, so it appears as if Naquin could be back at some point […]

Matt Peacock Injured On Wednesday

Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Matt Peacock (finger) left Wednesday's matchup against the Athletics. Peacock injured his right ring finger while attempting to barehand a Jed Lowrie comebacker, and while X-rays were negative, he was diagnosed with numbness. The righty is 2-3 throughout five starts this season while also racking up a 5.24 ERA to go along […]

Taylor Widener Making Progress

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Taylor Widener (groin) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session soon. Widener has recently been throwing from 90-feet, a positive sign after he has spent multiple trips on the injured list due to a right groin strain. Widener has played sparingly this season but still has fantasy value in deeper leagues […]

Zac Gallen Scheduled For Another Bullpen Session

Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Zac Gallen (elbow) went through a simulated game on Monday, throwing 32 pitches, and is scheduled to participate in another bullpen session by Thursday. Gallen suffered a sprained elbow back on May 7 and has remained on the injured list ever since. The 25-year-old currently holds a 1-0 record and a 2.63 […]

Aledmys Diaz Officially Lands On The IL

Houston Astros utility man Aledmys Diaz (hand) was officially placed on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. The veteran has a fractured left hand, an injury he sustained after getting drilled by a 92 mph pitch during an at-bat on Saturday against Toronto. Nonetheless, Diaz's designation is misleading as he is projected to remain out […]

Tigers Hopeful Michael Fulmer Doesn’t Miss Much Time

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Michael Fulmer (shoulder) remains on the 10-day injured list because of a strained right shoulder. However, the team is hopeful that he won't miss much time beyond his current stint on the IL, primarily after recent examinations were positive. Fulmer has been an adequate fantasy option at times during the 2021 […]

Jon Gray Traveling With The Team

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Jon Gray (forearm) is with the team for its six-game road trip against Miami and Cincinnati. The veteran is only slated to miss one start after recently landing on the 10-day injured list because of a right forearm flexor strain and could begin playing catch as early as Wednesday. He could […]

Trevor Story “Very Close” To A Return

Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story (elbow) is "very close" to making his return, according to manager Bud Black. After early rumblings that the veteran would be good to go by Tuesday, he is now expected to be activated on Wednesday. Story has been out since the end of May due to right elbow inflammation, so […]

Roberto Perez Starting To Throw

Cleveland Indians catcher Roberto Perez (finger) began throwing on Tuesday. The veteran recently had a pin removed from his right ring finger, a positive sign after fracturing it about a month ago during a matchup against Kansas City. Perez currently sits on the 60-day injured list but is sporting a miserable .131 batting average throughout […]
