Mitch Garver Removed From Monday's Game

Minnesota Twins catcher Mitch Garver (knee) was lifted early during Monday's game against the Chicago White Sox. He fouled a ball off his right knee and initially stayed in the game. However, he was removed before the start of the fourth inning due to a knee contusion. This sounds like a day-to-day type of issue, […]

Detroit Tigers catcher Wilson Ramos (back) has been activated off the 10-day injured list. The veteran catcher missed the minimum 10 days while dealing with a minor back issue. He hasn't brought much to the plate lately outside of his six home runs this season. It wouldn't be surprising to see Jake Rogers head back […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (5/17/21): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

Nikola Vucevic Resting Against Milwaukee

Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic (rest) will not play on Sunday against Milwaukee. No surprise here, as the team has nothing to gain by having the big man in the lineup for the final game of the season.
