Jose Leclerc Likely To Be Closer

Texas Rangers relief pitcher Jose Leclerc has a strong possibility of opening the regular season as the team's closer, according to manager Bruce Bochy. The 30-year-old ended last season as the closer and appears in a good spot to keep that role. Last season, Leclerc finished with a 2.68 ERA, 2.14 WHIP, and 67 strikeouts […]

Deni Avdija Scratched On Saturday

Washington Wizards forward Deni Avdija (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, Avdija was ruled out minutes before tip-off on Saturday. Instead, Corey Kispert will move into the starting five with Avdija unavailable for this game. A shift to the starting five should give Kispert […]

LeBron James, Anthony Davis Will Play Saturday

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) and center Anthony Davis (Achilles) are both available ahead of Saturday's game against the Golden State Warriors. As expected, James and Davis will play after being on the injury report heading into this game. Both players are dealing with nagging injuries, but continue to play through them a […]

Rudy Gobert Downgraded To Out

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (rib) has been downgraded to out ahead of Saturday's game against the Utah Jazz. The big man was considered questionable coming into this game after exiting early during their last contest. Naz Reid figures to move into the starting five with Gobert unavailable. Reid has been a top-75 value fantasy […]

Kevin Huerter Will Suit Up Saturday

Sacramento Kings guard Kevin Huerter (leg) is available ahead of Saturday's game against the New York Knicks. Huerter will make his return to the court after missing the last game due to a right leg contusion. Keon Ellis figures to head back to the second unit with Huerter returning on Saturday. As a reserve player, […]

Jaren Jackson Jr. To Play On Saturday

Memphis Grizzlies forward Jaren Jackson Jr. (quad) is available ahead of Saturday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Jackson has been cleared to play after sitting out during Wednesday's game due to a right quad issue. Trey Jemison should shift back to the second unit with Jackson returning on Saturday. Fantasy managers should feel safe […]

Desmond Bane Available On Saturday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Desmond Bane (ankle) is available ahead of Saturday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Bane will make his long-awaited return considering he hasn't played in a game since the middle of January. It wouldn't be shocking at all to see Bane under a strict minutes limit for a few games. Fantasy managers […]

Draymond Green Likely To Play On Saturday

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green (back) is expected to suit up for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers, according to head coach Steve Kerr. It looks like Green is ready to play again after missing one game due to back soreness. He's expected to be joined by Stephen Curry (ankle), which should push […]

Stephen Curry Expected To Play

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (ankle) is expected to suit up for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers, according to head coach Steve Kerr. All signs are currently pointing to Curry returning to the court after missing the last three games due to a right ankle sprain. There is no word on Curry […]

Brice Sensabaugh Remaining In Starting Five

Utah Jazz forward Brice Sensabaugh will remain in the starting five ahead of Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. The expectation was that Sensabaugh would head to the second unit with Taylor Hendricks (toe) returning on Friday. That won't be the case as both players will remain in the starting five on Friday. Instead, Luka […]

Taylor Hendricks Available On Friday

Utah Jazz forward Taylor Hendricks (toe) is available ahead of Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Hendricks will make his return to the court following a three-game absence due to a left toe sprain. The return of Hendricks should shift Brice Sensabaugh back to the second unit. However, both of them should split up the […]

Jerami Grant Unlikely To Play Saturday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (hamstring) is considered as doubtful ahead of Saturday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. This absence would mark the third game in a row that Grant has missed due to a right hamstring strain. The Blazers are likely to be thin at the forward spot with Jabari Walker (hip) […]

Anfernee Simons Considered Probable For Saturday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (knee) is listed as probable ahead of Saturday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He'll look to make his return to the court after sitting out of Thursday's game due to a knee issue. Scoot Henderson figures to head back to the second unit if Simons is back on […]

Matisse Thybulle Questionable For Saturday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Matisse Thybulle (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Saturday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. The Blazers are seemingly banged up everywhere ahead of this matchup. Thybulle hasn't been a great scoring option for them, but he has been a reliable defensive player. His absence would probably mean more minutes […]

Coby White Unlikely To Play On Saturday

Chicago Bulls guard Coby White (hip) is considered doubtful ahead of Saturday's game against the Washington Wizards. White was unable to suit up for Thursday's game due to a right hip strain. If he sits, Torrey Craig figures to move into the starting five which should give him a boost in fantasy value. Ayo Dosunmu […]

Kawhi Leonard, Paul George Expected To Play On Friday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (back) and guard Paul George (knee) have been removed from the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. There was some uncertainty that the two superstars would sit given it's the second night of a back-to-back set. Despite that, both players are expected to suit […]

Kyle Anderson Could Miss Saturday's Game

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Kyle Anderson (shoulder) is listed as questionable ahead of Saturday's game against the Utah Jazz. Anderson was able to play on Friday but has been dealing with a lingering shoulder issue. His absence would be important considering he has been starting in place of Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) lately. Nickeil Alexander-Walker would likely […]

Rudy Gobert Tagged As Questionable For Saturday

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (rib) is listed as questionable ahead of Saturday's game against the Utah Jazz. The big man was forced to exit early on Tuesday after taking a hit during the fourth quarter. The Wolves would be thin with Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) already sidelined. Naz Reid would be asked to play big […]

Gary Trent Jr. Available On Friday

Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. (groin) is available ahead of Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Trent is back in the mix following a two-game absence due to a right groin strain. The expectation is that Trent will move back into the starting five, which should shift Gradey Dick to the second unit. However, […]

Keston Hiura Hits Grand Slam

Detroit Tigers first baseman Keston Hiura has been doing everything he can to stay on the active roster. On Friday, Hiura went 2-for-4 with a grand slam in the victory over the Toronto Blue Jays. This spring, Hiura is hitting .304 with two homers and nine RBI in 23 at-bats. The 27-year-old is coming off […]

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Blasts Homer On Friday

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is back in mid-season form as he stepped to the plate for Friday's game against the Detroit Tigers. The young slugger went 2-for-3 with a home run and four RBI in the loss. In his nine spring games, Guerrero is 10-for-24 with two home runs and eight […]

Matt Manning Looks Sharp On Friday

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Matt Manning has been incredibly sharp early in camp. The right-hander made easy work of the Atlanta Braves lineup during Friday's game. Manning threw four scoreless innings while striking out three batters during Friday's victory. The 26-year-old has allowed one run or less in three of his first four outings this […]

Michael A. Taylor Signs With Pirates

The Pittsburgh Pirates have signed free-agent outfielder Michael A. Taylor on Friday. The contract is reportedly a one-year deal worth $4 million for the upcoming 2024 season. The 32-year-old is coming off a one-and-done season with the Minnesota Twins. Taylor slashed .220/.278/.442 with a career-high 21 home runs and 51 RBI in 129 games with […]

Kevin Gausman Throws Without Issues

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Kevin Gausman (shoulder) was able to throw one inning of live batting practice on Friday. The right-hander threw 23 pitches during this session without any issues. Blue Jays manager John Schneider told reporters that Gausman looked great during the outing. The organization has not given a timetable for his return […]

Tyler O'Neill Scratched On Friday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Tyler O'Neill (calf) has been scratched from the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Minnesota Twins. O'Neill missed time last week due to a calf issue, so it appears he has re-aggravated the injury. The expectation is that O'Neill is going to sit out for a few days before […]

Chris Moore Joins Cardinals

The Arizona Cardinals have signed free-agent wide receiver Chris Moore to a one-year deal on Thursday. This move makes sense given the fact Arizona has let Marquise Brown walk and traded Rondale Moore. Although, there's not a ton of value here, but the veteran wideout is a low risk move for the Cardinals. His best […]

Cedrick Wilson Jr. Heads To New Orleans

The New Orleans Saints have agreed to terms on a deal with wide receiver Cedrick Wilson Jr. on Thursday. The salary is unknown at the moment, but it appears to be a two-year deal. The 28-year-old hasn't done much of the field since his breakout 2021 season with the Dallas Cowboys. After that, Wilson spent […]

Sam Howell Won't Compete For Starter's Job

The Seattle Seahawks acquired quarterback Sam Howell from the Washington Commanders on Thursday. There was some speculation that Howell was brought in as competition for veteran signal-caller Geno Smith. Seahawks general manager John Schneider confirmed that they didn't acquire Howell to compete with Smith in camp. It sounds like the Seahawks believe that Howell has […]

Poona Ford Heading To Chargers

The Los Angeles Chargers have agreed to terms on a deal with defensive tackle Poona Ford on Thursday. At the moment, Ford's salary is unknown, but it's being reported that it's a one-year deal. The 28-year-old is looking for a bounce back season after posting a dud during his first season with the Buffalo Bills […]

Devin White Signs With Eagles

The Philadelphia Eagles have signed linebacker Devin White to a one-year deal on Thursday. The former first-round pick will receive a prove-it deal worth $7.5 million for the upcoming 2024 season. White hasn't been able to live up to the hype of being taken 5th overall during the 2019 draft. He had good moments during […]
