Alex Cobb Exits Friday’s Game Against Twins

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Alex Cobb exited Friday's matchup against the Twins. It's unknown why he left, although he was escorted off the mound with a trainer before starting the sixth inning. The 33-year-old has been an effective fantasy option, currently owning a 7-3 record along with a 3.96 ERA and 80 strikeouts. More […]

Jeff McNeil Likely Out On Saturday

New York Mets infielder Jeff McNeil (leg) is unlikely to start on Saturday against the Blue Jays. He wasn't available on Friday either as he continues to deal with left leg muscle fatigue. Although he is technically not injured, skipper Luis Rojas indicated that the team would take a cautious approach before allowing him to […]

Gary Sanchez Leaves Game With Back Spasms

New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez (back) exited Friday's matchup against the Boston Red Sox. The veteran had the plug pulled in the sixth inning because of back spasms, an unfortunate development considering how well he has played lately, smacking three dingers throughout the last seven games. Sanchez was replaced behind the dish by Rob […]

Robert Stock Transferred To 60-Day Injured List

New York Mets relief pitcher Robert Stock (hamstring) was transferred to the 60-day injured list on Friday.

Brad Wieck Transferred To 60-Day Injured List

Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Brad Wieck (illness) was transferred to the 60-day injured list on Friday. The 29-year-old southpaw is currently dealing with an irregular heartbeat, an ailment he was also plagued with last season.

Nick Anderson Sent For Rehab Assignment

Tampa Bay Rays relief pitcher Nick Anderson (elbow) was sent to the FCL on Friday to begin his rehab assignment. It's unknown how long the 31-year-old righty will be at the complex. However, it's still positive news after he has missed the entire season so far because of a partially torn UCL. Anderson finished the […]

Chris Mazza Heading Back To Durham

Tampa Bay Rays relief pitcher Chris Mazza is heading back to Durham. Mazza's most recent big-league stint didn't last long as he just got the call to report on Wednesday. The 31-year-old has a 6.60 ERA throughout eight games this season, which isn't good by any means. Nonetheless, he doesn't have any fantasy value, so […]

Brooks Kriske Demoted On Friday

New York Yankees relief pitcher Brooks Kriske was sent packing back to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday. The demotion isn't a surprise, especially after his horrendous performance on Thursday against the Boston Red Sox. The 27-year-old is currently sitting on a 10.80 ERA throughout seven big league appearances this year, so he can be dropped in all […]

Evan Longoria Making Progress

San Francisco Giants third baseman Evan Longoria (shoulder) has begun hitting progression and other baseball activities. The veteran has been on the 60-day injured list because of a left shoulder sprain, which is unfortunate considering he was batting .280 before going down with the injury. Longoria is eligible to return sometime in August, so fantasy […]

Sammy Long Felt Good After Recent Pen Session

San Francisco Giants pitcher Sammy Long (back) felt good after throwing another bullpen session on Thursday, logging 30 pitches in total. The lefty has been out since the start of July because of a back strain, so it seems like things are moving in the right direction. However, the 26-year-old has struggled this year, posting […]

Jaylin Davis Heading To Triple-A

San Francisco Giants outfielder Jaylin Davis (hamstring) will report to Triple-A over the weekend to begin his rehab assignment. Davis has been out for a few weeks because of a Grade 1 hamstring strain, so it appears as if he is very close to possibly making it back to the big club. Davis also battled […]

Aaron Sanchez Makes Another Rehab Start

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Aaron Sanchez (biceps) took a beating during his latest rehab start for Triple-A Sacramento. The 29-year-old logged just over five innings of service against Tacoma, allowing five runs off of eight hits while striking out four batters. Although things obviously could have gone better, the righty is moving in the […]

Eduardo Rodriguez Leaves Friday’s Contest

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez exited Friday's contest against the New York Yankees. The lefty lasted only one inning before his premature exit. However, it's unknown exactly what he is dealing with, so fantasy managers may have to wait for an explanation. He was subsequently replaced by Phillips Valdez, with more information on […]

Collins played relatively well last season and was instrumental in helping the team reach the Eastern Conference Finals, where he averaged 13.8 points and 9.5 boards throughout the six games against Milwaukee. The […]

Bradley Beal Rumors Gaining Traction

Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal has been a hot commodity for virtually every team throughout the league.

Kevin Love Likely To Be Moved Before Season Begins

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Kevin Love (calf) is expected to be moved before the start of the 2021-22 campaign, or at least the team hopes. With the Cavs entering an anticipated rebuilding phase, trading the 32-year-old veteran and his hefty salary is a logical option. Although packaging Love alongside Collin Sexton may be needed to get […]

Russell Westbrook Heading West?

Washington Wizards guard Russell Westbrook could be on the move, with the triple-double king recently linked to the Lakers. As L.A. looks to win another title, the franchise has a massive hole at the point guard position, a void that Westbrook could convincingly fill. With the Wizards looking toward the future, a deal involving Dennis […]

Chris Paul On The Lakers Radar

Phoenix Suns guard Chris Paul is reportedly drawing interest from the Lakers heading into the 2021-22 campaign.

Talen Horton-Tucker Receives Qualifying Offer

Los Angeles Lakers guard Talen Horton-Tucker received a $1.9 million qualifying offer from the team. The move will make the 20-year-old a restricted free agent while also allowing L.A. to match any subsequent offers from clubs throughout the league.

Onyeka Okongwu Has Surgery

Atlanta Hawks center Onyeka Okongwu (shoulder) recently underwent surgery to repair a torn labrum and is expected to need six months to recover. This is bad news for the team, primarily since the 20-year-old was a reliable option when given a chance, averaging 11 points, 8.8 boards, 2.0 blocks, and a steal as a starter […]

T.J. McConnell Drawing Interest From Cavs

Indiana Pacers guard T.J. McConnell is expected to receive plenty of interest from many clubs around the league when free agency begins in August.

The 29-year-old averaged a career-high 8.6 […]

J.K. Dobbins In Line For A Breakout Year

Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins is on the radar for a breakout 2021 campaign. According to FanDuel, the former Buckeye is a favorite to compile the most regular-season rushing yards by the end of the year. Whether Dobbins will do it or not is debatable. However, he has the potential to finish as one […]

Lamar Jackson Expected To Get Paid Soon

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is expected to land a deal soon worth between $40 and $45 million per year, according to ESPN's Dan Graziano.

Tyler Boyd Predicted To Have Monster Year

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd could be in line for a monster year, at least according to former NFL quarterback and current analyst Dan Orlovsky. The 27-year-old racked up back-to-back seasons with at least 1,000 receiving yards before falling short of that mark in 2020. However, with an enhanced offensive line and the addition […]

Joe Burrow Draws Noteworthy Comparison

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (knee) was a favorite to finish last season as the league's Rookie of the Year. However, after he took a huge hit during a Week 7 encounter against the Cleveland Browns, resulting in a torn ACL and MCL in his left knee, Justin Herbert surpassed him to claim the award. […]

Joe Mixon Likely To Benefit From Enhanced Line

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (foot) had a disappointing 2020-21 campaign. After signing a four-year, $48 million contract extension last September, the 24-year-old appeared in only six games last season before succumbing to a foot injury that eventually landed him on injured reserve. However, with the team fortifying its offensive line along with the […]

Zach LaVine Enters Health And Safety Protocols

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine will not travel with Team USA to Tokyo. LaVine is once again dealing with health and safety protocols, an unfortunate development because he missed 11 contests during the year due to the same issue.
