Jarrett Allen Remains Out On Monday

Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen (rib) will remain in street clothes on Monday against Boston. He's forced to skip a seventh straight game with a rib contusion.

Minnesota Twins catcher/designated hitter Ryan Jeffers is tied for ninth in the American League with nine home runs. He has served in the DH role for the Twins more than anyone else, but despite that, he has yet to hit a home run as the DH. Eight of Jeffers' home runs have come on days […]

Patrick Bailey Dealing With Illness

San Francisco Giants catcher Patrick Bailey (illness) was scratched from Sunday's series finale against the Cincinnati Reds due to a viral illness, according to the team.

Isaiah Hartenstein Injured In Game 4

New York Knicks forward/center Isaiah Hartenstein (shoulder) finished with five boards and four points in Sunday's blowout loss to the Indiana Pacers.

Luke Kornet Probable For Monday Night

Boston Celtics center Luke Kornet (calf) is probable for Monday's meeting with the Cavaliers. He's dealing with calf tightness. However, even with Kristaps Porzingis (calf) sidelined, Kornet has averaged 4.7 points and 3.0 points during the Conference semifinals, meaning his status for Game 4 won't make a difference for DFS participants.

Jarrett Allen Questionable Again For Monday

Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen (rib) is questionable for Monday's postseason battle against Boston. He's carried the same injury designation throughout the series because of a nagging rib contusion. Unfortunately, Allen hasn't been out there.
