Chicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras (hamstring) is set to make his return in Thursday's day game against the Cincinnati Reds. He will be batting second and playing catcher in the game.

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (5/26/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups
The Mavericks refused to simply cede the four-game sweep to the Warriors, recording a 119-109 win over Golden State at American Airlines Center in Game 4. However, all that earned them is a trip to Chase Center for Game 5, a contest for which Dallas is a 6.5-to-7-point underdog as of early Thursday. The DFS […]
Robert Thomas Nets Two Goals In Game 5 Victory
St. Louis Blues forward Robert Thomas scored his first two postseason goals of the year at the perfect time, helping the team turn a 3-0 deficit against Colorado into a 5-4 overtime win.

Bam Adebayo Scores Team-High 18 Points Against Boston
Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo scored a team-high 18 points during the playoff loss to the Boston Celtics on Wednesday night. He also added 10 rebounds and one block.

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (5/26/22): MLB DFS Lineups
Happy Thursday, RotoBallers! This is John Brubaker once again dropping some of my favorite plays for tonight's slate. We actually have a solid ten-game slate tonight on DraftKings and an eleven-game slate on FanDuel. The game that's included on FanDuel is the Yankees/Rays game down in Tampa, but I won't be including any of them […]
Robert Williams III Suits Up For Game 5
Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (knee) managed to suit up for Wednesday's postseason meeting versus Miami. He played 27 minutes, so his ailing left knee didn't appear to be much of an issue. In the end, the big man had just six points, although he made up for it by grabbing 10 boards and […]
Willson Contreras Still Sitting Wednesday
Chicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras (hamstring) remains out of the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Cincinnati Reds. It will be Contreras' fourth straight game on the bench due to a strained right hamstring. With fellow backstop Yan Gomes (oblique) going on the injured list, P.J. Higgins will do the catching and hit eighth on […]
Tyler Stephenson Taking The Day Off
Cincinnati Reds catcher Tyler Stephenson is not in the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Chicago Cubs. Stephenson will get a breather after starting in each of the team's last seven games. The 25-year-old has been a must-start at the weakest position in fantasy on a bad Reds team, as he's slashing a healthy .295/.358/.484 […]
Omar Narvaez Back In The Lineup Wednesday
Milwaukee Brewers catcher Omar Narvaez is back in the team's lineup for Wednesday's matchup with the San Diego Padres and right-handed starter Yu Darvish.

Will Smith On The Bench Wednesday
Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Will Smith isn't in the starting lineup on Wednesday for a matchup with the Washington Nationals and right-handed starter Erick Fedde. Smith is hitting .255 with a .368 on-base percentage and four home runs in 125 plate appearances this season. Instead, it'll be Austin Barnes getting the start behind the plate […]
Henry Davis Has Fractured Wrist
Additional testing showed that Pittsburgh Pirates catching prospect Henry Davis (wrist) has a non-displaced fracture in his left wrist, according to head athletic trainer Todd Tomcyzk. The injury stemmed from when Davis was hit by a pitch at High-A Greensboro. The 22-year-old backstop is currently in a splint and will be out for an extended […]
Drew Romo Continues To Hit In High-A
Colorado Rockies catcher prospect Drew Romo put together one of his best games as a professional on Tuesday for High-A Spokane. The 20-year-old went 2-for-3 with a triple, home run, walk and a career-high five RBI. The young backstop has really taken a liking to High-A pitching and is now hitting .318 with three home […]

Sebastian Aho Becomes Carolina's All-Time Leading Playoff Scorer
Carolina Hurricanes center Sebastian Aho made history in Tuesday's Game 4 defeat against the Rangers, becoming the team's all-time leading playoff scorer.

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (5/25/22): NBA DFS Lineups
Happy Wednesday, RotoBallers! The Conference Finals are here, and we have a one-game showdown slate tonight. The Celtics will head to Vice City to take on the Miami Heat. This series has been strange due to the players on both teams being in and out throughout the first four games, as well as seven guys […]
Gary Sanchez Strikes Out Twice In Tuesday's Win
Minnesota Twins catcher Gary Sanchez has been somewhat of a disappointment for fantasy managers who betted on the power potential on the draft day. Despite his unattractive .221/.286/.442 slash line, he has the most RBI among catchers in the league. He will continue to hit in the middle of the Twins lineup, at least for […]
Yasmani Grandal Sluggish Through First 38 Games
Chicago White Sox catcher Yasmani Grandal has had a poor start to the 2022 season, posting a .176/.273/.237 line across 38 games. In 131 at-bats, the two-time All-Star has just four extra-base hits (two doubles and two homers), five runs scored, and nine RBI. Advanced metrics suggest positive regression is on the horizon for the […]
Robert Williams III Back On The Injury Report
Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (knee) has been classified as questionable ahead of Wednesday's playoff meeting with Miami. Although the big man's ailing left knee is "feeling good," he also indicated that he'd be taking things "day by day." As a result, DFS managers should plan on regular appearances on the injury report for […]
Hot Fantasy Prospects To Watch For Week 7
The minor league season rages on. Now that fantasy baseball teams have been drafted and the season is underway, it's imperative to monitor the top fantasy baseball prospects who have turned heads thus far. At this point in the season, excellent prospect performances shouldn't be taken too seriously. Sure, there's no denying that short sample sizes can […]
Yan Gomes Scratched With Oblique Tightness
Chicago Cubs catcher Yan Gomes (oblique) was a late scratch from the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. P.J. Higgins will now be catching for the game. Gomes is dealing with left oblique tightness. Fellow Cubs catcher Willson Contreras (hamstring) is also hampered by an injury. He suffered a right hamstring strain […]
Filip Chytil Set To Remain On Top Line
New York Rangers forward Filip Chytil is set to remain on the top line for Game 4 against Carolina. He replaced Frank Vatrano on the line in Sunday's Game 3 and the shakeup helped Rangers to bounce back from two defeats with a 3-1 win. The 22-year-old has had an underwhelming season with 22 regular-season […]
