Wild Captain Mikko Koivu Continues Great Power-Play Form

The 35-year-old Finnish Minnesota Wild captain is still getting it done on the stat sheet for the Wild. Mikko Koivu registered an assist in both Games 1 and 2 in Winnipeg, and he didn’t stop his production for Game 3 in Minnesota. The captain chipped in with two power-play assists, both coming in the first […]

Kevan Smith To Begin Rehab Assignment

Chicago White Sox catcher Kevan Smith (ankle) has been sent to Triple-A Charlotte to begin his rehab assignment. With Welington Castillo having a firm grip on the starting job and Omar Narvaez as his backup, it is likely that Smith will remain in Triple-A once he is activated. He holds no fantasy value.

Stephen Vogt Throwing With No Pain

Milwaukee Brewers catcher Stephen Vogt (shoulder) has made even more progress in his throwing program and will most likely return in the next week or two. Vogt has yet to go into rehab games, so he's most likely still a couple weeks away from returning. When returning, he will be a backup catcher to Manny […]

Mark Scheifele Pointless In Games 2 and 3

Winnipeg Jets forward Mark Scheifele has been held off the scoresheet for the second consecutive game in the matchup against the Minnesota Wild.

Riley Nash Expected To Return In Game 3

Boston Bruins forward Riley Nash is expected (ear) to return for Game 3 against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Nash was struck in the ear with a slapshot at the end of March and has been working to come back to the Bruins lineup and will do so Monday. In terms of DFS, Nash only had […]

Jacob Nottingham Called Up To Brewers

Milwaukee Brewers catcher prospect Jacob Nottingham has been called up to the MLB from Triple-A affiliate, Colorado Springs Sky Sox. Nottingham was acquired in the deal that sent slugger Khris Davis to the Athletics, and so far has yet to make his MLB debut as the organization's 17th best prospect. So far this year with […]

Manny Pina Placed On 10-Day DL

Milwaukee Brewers catcher Manny Pina has been placed on the 10-day DL with a right calf strain. This comes as quite a surprise, as Brewers manager Craig Counsell said that he might've been able to start today. In Pina's absence for the next 10 days, Jett Bandy will get the majority of the starts at […]

Tomas Plekanec Centering Toronto’s Second Line Ahead Of Game 3

Veteran centerman Tomas Plekanec is getting a promotion to the second line ahead of Toronto’s home game Monday. The opportunity arises in the wake of Nazem Kadri’s suspension he received in game 1. Plekanec’s production has been anything but stellar in his short time with the Maple Leafs; he’s logged just two assists in 17 […]

Salvador Perez Hits Home Run in First Rehab Outing

In his first rehab outing with Double-A Northwest Arkansas, Salvador Perez cleared the fences. This was Perez's first official game of the year after injuring himself in spring training. This season, the Royals catchers are hitting just .184, so this will be a welcome sight for the Royals. It is expected that Perez will need […]

Tony Sanchez Acquired By Rangers

The Texas Rangers acquired Tony Sanchez from the Cincinnati Reds on Monday afternoon. Sanchez has been assigned to Triple-A, where he will share catching duties with recently-acquired Cameron Rupp. In his major league career, Sanchez has hit .257 with four home runs in 156 career plate appearances.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (4/16/18): MLB DFS Lineups

It was a frustrating slate of games on Sunday, with the weather playing spoiler to six games. As I write this, we already have one game eliminated from Monday’s slate, as well.

Alex Iafallo Scores His First Postseason Goal

Los Angeles Kings forward Alex Iafallo was back in the lineup for Game 3 against Vegas and he had a good outing, starting it off with his first career postseason goal in the opening period. He had missed Game 2 as a healthy scratch, so he certainly made it sure that head coach John Stevens […]

The Cut List (Week 3): Time to Let Go?

Well, we’re three weeks into the season and the picture is starting to clear up. Players who started off the year cold are heating up (Andrew Benintendi, Mike Moustakas, Steve Pearce) while guys like Josh Harrison and Nick Ahmed are slowly regressing to the mean. We can start confidently making add/drop decisions, but don’t expect […]

William Karlsson Records Game-Winner On Sunday

Vegas Golden Knights center William Karlsson, who led the team with 43 goals during the regular season, potted his first goal of the postseason on Sunday, recording the game-winning goal in a 3-2 result against the Kings in Game 3. Vegas' top line had been kept in check up to that point, as Karlsson didn't […]

Karl-Anthony Towns Offensively Absent On Sunday

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns had a miserable performance offensively on Sunday night. Towns played 40 minutes in the 104-101 loss to the Rockets, but was not effective, finishing Game 1 with only eight points on just nine shots. He did manage to salvage his shoddy scoring output by pulling down 12 boards and recording […]

Capela finished the matchup with 24 points with 20 of them coming before the end of the half. He was efficient from the field as well, shooting an imposing 10-for-15 on the night in addition to […]

Taylor Ward Is Hitting Everything In Sight

Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim prospect Taylor Ward has been a hitting machine so far in Double-A Mobile. The former first-round pick has hit .500 over his first 32 at-bats which includes one home run and eight RBI. Ward is a patient hitter who draws as many walks as he does strikeouts and that should […]

Kevin Love Narrowly Misses a Double-Double In Game 1

Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Kevin Love did some massive work on the glass in Game 1 against Indiana, recording 17 rebounds, but it wasn't enough to post a double-double.
