Seattle Mariners catcher Mike Zunino (oblique) has been activated from the disabled list and will start Friday night for the team. Zunino will make his season debut and hit seventh after rehabbing a sore oblique muscle.

The Russian star now has three goals and six points in four games this postseason, tying captain Alex Ovechkin for the team lead. Kuznetsov had a piece of every single Caps goal, as […]

Manny Pina Doing Baserunning Work

Milwaukee Brewers catcher Manny Pina (calf) was out doing pre-game base running with the Brewers athletic crew on Friday.

Brewers manager Craig Counsell said that they don't really […]

Matt Davidson Won’t Be In Friday’s Lineup

Chicago White Sox designated hitter Matt Davidson will be on the bench Friday versus the Houston Astros. Catcher Welington Castillo will be Friday’s designated hitter and catcher Omar Narvaez will bat eighth and be behind the plate. Davidson got off to a hot start but is now four for his last 29.

Salvador Perez Could Return Earlier Than Expected

Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez (knee) threw out two base runners in his rehab start at Triple-A on Thursday. Afterwards, Perez told reporters he felt good and should be back soon. It is now looking increasingly like Perez will return Monday for the Royals series against the Brewers. The Royals enter Friday at 3-13 […]

Kevin Love Will Play in Game 3

Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Kevin Love (hand) will play in Game 3, according to head coach Ty Lue. "[Love] is good. He’s fine," Lue said. The X-rays were negative on Love's hand, so it sounds like DFS owners will be safe to deploy him on Friday versus the Indiana Pacers. Coach Lue did not put Love […]

Ryan Anderson is Probable for Saturday

Houston Rockets forward/center Ryan Anderson (ankle) is probable for Saturday's Game 3 contest versus the Minnesota Timberwolves, according to head coach Mike D'Antoni. Anderson missed the final four games of the regular season and the first two games this postseason. However, the Rockets have taken care of the Wolves easily without Anderson or Luc Mbah […]

Joel Embiid Impresses In Game 3 Return

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid had been out of action since leaving Philadelphia's March 28 win over the Knicks with a broken bone in his face, but he returned to the floor on Thursday to help lead the 76ers to a 20-point victory over the Miami Heat in the first round of the NBA playoffs. […]

We finally get a Friday with all 30 teams in one slate (KC/DET is a double-header). Do not mess this up for us, weather! Now that most teams have played at least 15 games (c’mon, Minnesota), I’ll start to use 2017 and 2018 stats when addressing a player’s ISO. In this article, I will be […]

Mitchell Marner Extends Point Streak To Three Games

Toronto Maple Leafs center Mitchell Marner tallied an assist on the Maple Leafs only goal in their loss Thursday. This extends his point streak to three consecutive games, as the winger continues to drive offense for his team. Even after losing their centerman, Toronto’s second line has been its most productive in this series and […]

Tomas Plekanec Scores First Goal With Maple Leafs

Toronto Maple Leafs center Tomas Plekanec scored for the first time since Feb. 22, his last appearance with the Montreal Canadiens. His first with the Maple Leafs put Toronto on the board and tied the game in the first period of Thursday’s Game 4. This marks consecutive games that Plekanec has found the score sheet […]

Week 4 Waiver Wire - H2H Category Streamers

I like to consider myself a pioneer of the streaming approach. I won a league about seven years ago completely ignoring saves and just stacking up the starts each week. While streaming is undoubtedly more directly associated with pitching, there's plenty of value in streaming for offense as well. Maybe you have a stacked roster […]

New Orleans Pelican power forward/center Anthony Davis did a bit of everything in Game 3 in his club's win over the Portland Trail Blazers. Davis connected on 11 of 18 shots to finish the night with 28 points to go along with a game-high 11 rebounds. AD also chipped in two assists, three steals and […]

Jusuf Nurkic With Another Dud

Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic was again outmatched and could not get things going against the New Orleans Pelicans in Game 3. Nurkic was not a factor, shooting just 2-for-7 from the field while notching just five points in 20 minutes. Nurkic was able to salvage his night by adding seven rebounds, a couple […]

Atlanta Braves catcher Tyler Flowers (oblique) seems pretty healthy and should start his rehab assignment over the weekend. When he returns, Kurt Suzuki will resume backup duties. Hopefully, we'll have another catcher to plug into our lineups soon.

Manny Pina's Injury Schedule Uncertain

Milwaukee Brewers catcher Manny Pina (calf) has uncertainty in his injury return, as he is currently having trouble running the bases, according to Brewers manager Craig Counsell. Pina is eligible to be activated on Monday, April 23, however, there is no certain way to know whether he will be ready. Pina will do a baserunning […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (4/20/18): NBA DFS Lineups

We have a solid three game slate, and we are deeper into the series', so we're aware of how these teams plan on playing each other. That could cause specific players' ownership to rise, but we also generally know what players will be at least somewhat lower owned. In this article, I will be providing […]

Blake Swihart To Get Start Against Athletics

Boston Red Sox catcher Blake Swihart is likely to start a game this weekend, according to Jason Mastrodonato of the Boston Herald. Manager Alex Cora stated that Swihart will likely start at designated hitter or in left field in one of the games against the Athletics. In eight games, Swihart is batting .250. While the Red […]
