Charlotte Hornets guard Bryce McGowens (knee) won't be available ahead of Tuesday's game against the Orlando Magic.

Bertans doesn't offer […]

Tyus Jones Won't Play On Tuesday

Washington Wizards guard Tyus Jones (back) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Houston Rockets. Jones has missed each of the last two games and appears to be in line for a third straight absence. Jordan Poole has been asked to move into the starting five and he has played well there. […]

Deni Avdija Unavailable For Tuesday

Washington Wizards forward Deni Avdija (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Houston Rockets. This doesn't come as shocking news after Avdija was a late scratch ahead of Sunday's contest. His absence opened up a spot for Corey Kispert in the starting five on Sunday. He didn't play well during that […]

Kyle Kuzma Uncertain For Tuesday

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (shoulder) is considered questionable ahead of Tuesday's game against the Houston Rockets. Kuzma was forced to miss Sunday's game and is in danger of missing his second straight contest. Given the Wizards place in the standings, Kuzma seems more likely to sit out of this game. Washington doesn't have any […]

Luka Doncic Considered Probable For Tuesday

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (hamstring) is listed as probable ahead of Tuesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. The star guard was able to play through his hamstring issue during Sunday's game. That being said, Doncic should be able to suit up on Tuesday, but the team will likely wait until closer to game […]

Rudy Gobert Ruled Out For Monday

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (rib) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Utah Jazz. The big man will be forced to miss his second straight game due to left rib strain.

The biggest thing for Rodon is going […]

Martin Perez Strikes Out Eight Batters

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Martin Perez continued his impressive spring during Monday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies.

His velocity was down during this game and […]

Merrill Kelly Has Stellar Outing

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Merrill Kelly continued his stellar spring during Monday's game against the Oakland Athletics. The right-hander threw 3 1/3 scoreless innings while allowing four hits and striking out seven batters. The 35-year-old hasn't allowed a run in two of his first three outings this spring. The hope is that these outings carry […]

ANALYSIS:  The right-hander posted a 4.37 ERA, and 1.40 WHIP, with a 79/34 K/BB ratio and 13 saves last season.

Free-agent wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. appears to be moving on from the Baltimore Ravens.

The 31-year-old is not the same receiver he […]

Mike Williams Has Multiple Suitors

Free-agent wide receiver Mike Williams reportedly has scheduled visits with multiple teams this upcoming week. The Los Angeles Chargers made Williams a cap-casualty late last week.

Tyler Huntley Signs With Browns

The Cleveland Browns have signed quarterback Tyler Huntley to a one-year deal on Sunday.

During his career, Huntley has thrown for 1,957 passing yards, eight touchdowns, and seven […]

Mason Black Could Make Starting Rotation

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Mason Black is a candidate for the Opening Day rotation, according to manager Bob Melvin.

O'Neill has been plagued by calf issues twice during camp already. The Red Sox are going to take the cautious approach and hold him out until he's fully healthy. If he returns on […]

Paul Skenes Optioned To Minors Camp

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Paul Skenes has been optioned to minor league camp on Sunday. Skenes will join a handful of other players that will head to the minors and not make the Opening Day roster. It's not surprising to see Skenes getting reassigned as he was a longshot to make the roster. The right-hander […]

Bryce Harper Dealing With Minor Injury

Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Bryce Harper (back) has been out of the lineup since Thursday, which has raised some concerns about his health. On Sunday, Phillies manager Rob Thompson confirmed that Harper is dealing with minor back stiffness. The lefty slugger has been out since Thursday and will remain out until at least Tuesday. It's […]

Zack Wheeler Named Opening Day Starter

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Zack Wheeler has been confirmed as the Opening Day starter, according to manager Rob Thompson.

Joey Votto Exits During Debut

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Joey Votto (ankle) was forced to exit early during Sunday's spring training contest against the Philadelphia Phillies.

Tommy Pham Nearing Deal With Padres

The San Diego Padres are close to a deal with free-agent outfielder Tommy Pham, according to Bob Nightengale. The expectation is that it'll be a cheap one-year contract. The Padres could use the help in the outfield as this team does lack depth there. Currently, Jurickson Profar is penciled in as the everyday left fielder. […]

Braden Shewmake Out For Multiple Weeks

Chicago White Sox infielder Braden Shewmake (ankle) doesn't look like he's going to be ready in time for Opening Day. The 26-year-old has suffered a left ankle sprain that is going to sideline him for 2-4 weeks of action. That's a shame considering Shewmake was looking like a lock to make the Opening Day roster. […]

Jameson Taillon Could Throw Soon

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Jameson Taillon (back) is already in jeopardy of missing Opening Day. The good news is Taillon is expected to throw off the mound on Tuesday or Wednesday. The right-hander has reportedly responded well to treatment, so hopefully he won't be forced to miss an extended time. The Cubs have options such […]

Nick Lodolo Looks Good In Return

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Nick Lodolo (leg) made his return to the mound during Saturday's exhibition contest against the Seattle Mariners.
