Ryan Jeffers Homers During Three-Hit Day

Minnesota Twins catcher Ryan Jeffers has never been a particularly strong offensive player, but he was able to contribute on Friday against the Texas Rangers, going 3-for-4 with a two-run home run in a 6-5 loss. Jeffers now has six homers on the year to go with 21 runs scored, and 23 RBI. He's unlikely […]

Saturdays and Sundays are made for day baseball and we are getting another big late afternoon slate today with a 9-game 4:05 slate on both sites and only four games in the evening. For the sake of my own sanity (and yours), I am going to focus on that slate only with these picks today. […]

Joey Bart Dealing With Thumb Pain

San Francisco Giants catcher Joey Bart (thumb) suffered an injury to his right thumb during Friday's game against the San Diego Padres. Padres first baseman Luke Voit fouled a ball that hit Bart in the inside of his right thumb during the game. Bart was able to finish out the game, but he reportedly wouldn't […]

Marko Simonovic Dominant In Summer League On Friday

Chicago Bulls center Marko Simonovic looked fantastic during Friday's Summer League overtime win over Dallas. The 22-year-old had a team-high 27 points, going 10-for-19 from the field while amassing 13 rebounds, three blocks, and a steal. Simonovic certainly made a statement in this one, and if he can continue playing this well during his time […]

Jericho Sims Lands New Deal With The Knicks

New York Knicks center Jericho Sims agreed to a three-year deal to remain with the team. The 23-year-old averaged 4.1 rebounds and 2.2 points throughout 41 appearances as a rookie last season. While his numbers weren't the best, the organization appears to have some confidence in his long-term development. Still, with Mitchell Robinson and Isaiah […]

Taj Gibson Expected To Sign With The Wizards

Free-agent forward/center Taj Gibson is expected to sign with the Wizards. Gibson was released by the Knicks on Friday, with The Athletic's Shams Charania reporting the veteran will be on his way to D.C. once he clears waivers on Sunday. The 37-year-old isn't the force he used to be, although he averaged an acceptable 5.3 […]

Mitch Garver Will Undergo Season-Ending Surgery On Monday

Texas Rangers catcher Mitch Garver (forearm) will undergo season-ending surgery to repair his injured flexor tendon Monday but will be available for the team's current series against the Minnesota Twins. He will require a season-ending procedure after dealing with a flexor issue over the last few months. The 31-year-old is slashing .212/.292/.419 with 10 home […]

Adley Rutschman To Rest On Friday

Baltimore Orioles catcher Adley Rutschman (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. The 24-year-old will get a much-needed day off after starting five straight games. Rutschman is hitting .214/.286/.400 with four homers through 108 plate appearances this season. Robinson Chirinos will cover behind the plate and bat […]

Frank Kaminsky Signs With Hawks

Free-agent center Frank Kaminsky has signed a one-year deal with the Atlanta Hawks. The 29-year-old only played nine games with the Phoenix Suns last season. Sadly, a knee fracture forced Kaminsky to miss a majority of the season. The former No. 9 overall pick is likely to take over the role of Gorgui Dieng off […]

Isaiah Stewart Delivers Efficient Summer League Performance

Detroit Pistons center Isaiah Stewart has been precisely that over his first two NBA seasons -- a center. But the 21-year-old largely took on a new role Thursday, getting reps at the power forward spot and finishing with 13 points and nine boards across 27 minutes. Maybe most impressive, the big man went 3-for-4 from […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (7/8/22): Today's Top MLB DFS Lineups

We were really close to getting a full 15-game slate, but the Reds and Rays are playing a 6:40 PM game, meaning we have "only" 14 games on the main slate instead. That also means my favorite lefty fireballer Shane McClanahan (and also the surging Luis Castillo) are not on the main slate, but we […]

Al Horford Expected To Sit More Games

Boston Celtics center Al Horford was a major factor during the team's playoff run last season. Although, Horford isn't getting any younger and it sounds like the team plans to limit the veteran big man. The 34-year-old is expected to be held out of one game during back-to-back sets. It is also rumored that the […]

Aron Baynes To Work Out For Teams

Free-agent center Aron Baynes is scheduled to work out for NBA teams on Friday. The 35-year-old missed the entire 2021-2022 season due to a spinal cord injury. Baynes spent nearly two months in a hospital due to the issue. It's amazing that Baynes has got back to the point where he can play basketball. It's […]

Chet Holmgren Notches Double-Double In Summer League

Oklahoma City Thunder power forward/center Chet Holmgren finished Wednesday's Summer League win over the Grizzlies with 11 points and 12 rebounds, showcasing his nightly double-double potential.

Jericho Sims Earns Three-Year Deal With Knicks

New York Knicks center Jericho Sims has been given a three-year contract to remain with the organization, per Shams Charania of The Athletic.

Thomas Bryant Back To 100 Percent

Los Angeles Lakers center Thomas Bryant (back) mentioned that he is finally 100 percent healthy from his torn ACL. The 24-year-old recently signed with the Lakers and has a chance to play a legitimate role with the team. The young big man said that his surgically repaired knee might be stronger than his other knee. […]

Philadelphia 76ers center Paul Reed feasted during Tuesday's Summer League loss to Memphis, as he compiled 20 points and 15 rebounds across 31 minutes.
