Nick Nurse, Mike Budenholzer Among Early Candidates For Phoenix Suns

The Phoenix Suns are reportedly compiling a list of candidates for their head coaching vacancy that includes Nick Nurse, Mike Budenholzer, and their current assistant Kevin Young.

Milwaukee Bucks Are Interviewing Mark Jackson For Head Coaching Spot

The Milwaukee Bucks are reportedly interviewing former Golden State Warriors head coach and current broadcaster, Mark Jackson, for their head coaching vacancy. He coached the Warriors from 2011 to 2014 and had a record of 121-109 in the regular season and 9-10 in the playoffs. While he still receives some criticism after the team took […]

James Harden, Joel Embiid Fizzle In Loss

Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden and center Joel Embiid had poor showings in Sunday's Game 7 loss to the Boston Celtics. Harden and Embiid combined for just 24 points on 8-for-29 shooting from the field and committed nine total turnovers. The Sixers were knocked out of the second round yet again and have a lot […]

J.T. Realmuto Back In Action Sunday

Philadelphia Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto is back in the lineup for Sunday's game against Kyle Freeland and the Colorado Rockies, batting sixth. The star backstop missed Saturday's game due to a sprained pinky finger, but he's been cleared to play. It's great news for fantasy managers, as they won't have to go without Realmuto long-term. […]

Will Smith Starting On The Bench Sunday

Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Will Smith isn't starting Sunday's contest against Ryan Weathers and the San Diego Padres. The backstop is slashing .322/.417/.598 with six homers, 19 runs, 20 RBI, and a stolen base and continues to provide some of the best numbers from his position. Austin Barnes will be behind the plate in his […]

JJ Bleday Sitting Sunday

Oakland Athletics outfielder JJ Bleday is absent from Sunday's starting lineup for the game against Andrew Heaney and the Texas Rangers. The 25-year-old has been impressive with the bat over 11 games, slashing .324/.359/.649 with three homers, seven runs, and three RBI after the team promoted him in early May, but has sat against lefties. […]

Sam Huff In Sunday's Lineup

Texas Rangers backstop Sam Huff is starting Sunday's game as the designated hitter and batting eighth against lefty JP Sears and the Oakland Athletics. It'll be his third game of the season after starting the year in Triple-A. So far, over four at-bats, Huff's batting .250 with two strikeouts and a walk, a season after […]

Monty Williams Fired By Phoenix

The Suns announced the firing of head coach Monty Williams on Saturday. In four years in Phoenix, Williams went 194-115 in the regular season and 27-19 in the postseason. He also earned Coach of the Year honors and led the franchise to the NBA Finals in 2021. Yet, after the Suns lost to Denver this […]

J.T. Realmuto Officially Out On Saturday

Philadelphia Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto (finger) is officially out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Colorado Rockies. The 32-year-old was forced to exit early during Friday's contest due to a sprained right pinky finger. Luckily, the X-rays came back negative, so it doesn't appear that Realmuto is dealing with a serious issue. […]

Yasmani Grandal Scratched On Saturday

Chicago White Sox catcher Yasmani Grandal (hamstring) has been scratched from Saturday's starting lineup against the Houston Astros. The veteran catcher was removed early during Thursday's game due to hamstring tightness. It sounds like the organization intended on Grandal playing on Saturday, but possibly he suffered a setback during warmups. Hopefully, this is the last […]

Salvador Perez Returning On Saturday

Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez (eye) is back in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. The 33-year-old was scratched from Friday's contest due to vision problems. He reportedly underwent treatment for his issues, so it appears to have worked. Perez will bat third and start behind the plate versus right-hander […]

Mike Zunino Out Of The Lineup Saturday

Cleveland Guardians catcher Mike Zunino (neck) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's matchup against the Angels. He didn't play on Friday because of neck stiffness, so he'll miss another one. Zunino has struggled in May, going hitless with 15 strikeouts in 20 at-bats, so maybe a trip to the injured list could be on the […]

Willson Contreras Back Behind The Dish On Monday

According to Katie Woo of The Athletic, catcher Willson Contreras will be behind the dish for Monday's meeting with the visiting Brewers. The veteran has been in the lineup, although he's been spending time at the designated hitter spot. However, with Wilson serving as the backstop versus Milwaukee, Andrew Knizner's fantasy value will fade.

Christian Vazquez Sitting Versus Chicago Cubs

Minnesota Twins catcher Christian Vazquez is out of the lineup for Saturday's showdown with the Cubs. The 32-year-old hasn't been a routine presence in the lineup of late. However, there likely aren't too many upset fantasy managers, especially since he has just one hit in May. Ryan Jeffers will be behind home plate for this […]

Jonah Heim Not In The Lineup On Saturday

Texas Rangers catcher Jonah Heim is not in the lineup on Saturday against the Oakland Athletics. This looks to just be a routine day off for the 27-year-old backstop who has been one of the most effective fantasy catchers of the young season. He's slashing a robust .319/.379/.546 with six home runs, 29 RBI, and […]

Francisco Alvarez Absent From The Lineup On Saturday

New York Mets catcher Francisco Alvarez is absent from the lineup on Saturday against the Washington Nationals. The 21-year-old backstop will take a seat against Nats starter Trevor Williams while Michael Perez will take over behind the dish. Alvarez is slashing .231/.275/.415 with three home runs and six RBI over his first 65 at-bats on […]

Warriors Plan To Discuss New Deal With Draymond Green

According to Shams Charania and Anthony Slater of The Athletic, the Warriors plan to discuss a "multi-year" contract with forward/center Draymond Green. With the new CBA on the horizon, Golden State is in a financial crunch, so keeping its core together will prove difficult. However, the Dubs still plan negotiating a new deal with Green, […]

Edmonton Oilers center Connor McDavid scored two goals but wasn't able to save the team from a 4-3 defeat Friday against Vegas. Both of his markers came in power-play situations. The Oilers power play continues to be deadly and it's brought McDavid 12 of his 19 points this postseason. Following Leon Draisaitl's run of just […]
