Chris Sale Looks Excellent Early On

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Chris Sale has looked sharp through two starts with his new team this spring. The left-hander has struck out nine batters with only three hits allowed in 5 2/3 innings of work. It's a small sample size but it's great to see Sale looking like himself again. The seven-time All-Star was […]

Elvis Andrus Joins Diamondbacks

The Arizona Diamondbacks have brought in shortstop Elvis Andrus on a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training. On paper, Andrus doesn't exactly fit in the overcrowded D-Backs infield. Geraldo Perdomo has already been named the starting shortstop. It won't be long before top prospect Jordan Lawlar is in the mix as well. […]

Alex Cobb Shouldn't Miss Much Time

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Alex Cobb (hip) isn't expected to miss much time and should return relatively soon, according to Giants general manager Farhan Zaidi. The veteran right-hander is working his way back from offseason hip surgery. He'll open the season on the injury list but isn't expected to miss much time. The 36-year-old […]

Tari Eason To Undergo Season-Ending Surgery

Houston Rockets forward Tari Eason (leg) is set to undergo season-ending surgery on Monday, according to head coach Ime Udoka.

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (ankle) was forced to exit late in the fourth quarter during Friday's game against the Houston Rockets.

Denver Nuggets guard Christian Braun will move into the starting five ahead of Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers.

Despite the extra minutes, Braun […]

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (ankle) is available ahead of Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers.

Shake Milton Expected To Sign With Knicks

The New York Knicks are expected to sign guard Shake Milton once he clears waivers. Milton agreed to a buyout with the Detroit Pistons on Friday. A move to the Knicks makes sense given their lack of depth at the guard spot. Miles McBride has been playing significant minutes behind starter Jalen Brunson. Milton will […]

Luke Kennard Available On Saturday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Luke Kennard (illness) is available ahead of Saturday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. The Grizzlies will get some reinforcements with both Kennard and John Konchar (thumb) available to play on Saturday.

Phoenix Suns guard Eric Gordon (groin) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Houston Rockets. Gordon continues to be sidelined due to a lingering groin issue. He will be joined by Nassir Little (knee) during Saturday's game. The absence of Gordon should mean more playing time for Royce O'Neale. He'll be bounced […]

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Downgraded To Out

Denver Nuggets guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (personal) has been downgraded to out ahead of Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. The Nuggets could be shorthanded here with Jamal Murray (ankle) listed as questionable for this game. Justin Holiday figures to fill the spot in the starting five left by Caldwell-Pope. Despite the extra minutes, Holiday […]

Bradley Beal Will Play On Saturday

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (hamstring) is available ahead of Saturday's game against the Houston Rockets.

O'Neale won't have as much […]

Deandre Ayton Remains Out On Saturday

Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (hand) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. The big man sat out of Friday's game due to a right hand sprain.

Kyle Anderson Uncertain For Sunday

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Kyle Anderson (knee) is currently listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers.

Anthony Edwards Tagged As Questionable For Sunday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. This doesn't come as a surprise after Edwards was forced to exit early on Friday. Nickeil Alexander-Walker will likely be given the starting nod if Edwards isn't able to suit up on Sunday. He'd be worth […]

Ivica Zubac Listed As Questionable For Sunday

Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac (illness) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The big man has missed each of the last two games due to an illness. Zubac is traveling with the team to Minnesota, which is a good sign heading into this contest. If he plays, Daniel […]

New York Yankees starting pitcher Gerrit Cole made his spring debut against the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday. The veteran right-hander saw mixed results during Friday's win. Cole allowed two runs on four hits over two innings of work. The 33-year-old stuck out one batter and didn't issue a walk during his short outing. He […]

Michael Kopech Looks Fantastic On Friday

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Michael Kopech looked nearly unhittable during Friday's game versus the Chicago Cubs. The right-hander struck out five batters over two hitless innings during Friday's loss. This is extremely encouraging for Kopech who seemed destined to end up in the bullpen. Possibly, Kopech can make a resurgence as a starting pitcher […]

Luis Matos Blasts Two Homers

San Francisco Giants outfielder Luis Matos continued his red-hot stretch at the plate on Friday. The 22-year-old blasted two solo home runs during the 11-5 victory over the Texas Rangers. Now, Matos has three dingers over his last 11 at-bats. He is showing that he's ready for the big league level. Sadly, Matos doesn't have […]

Brock Bowers Won't Work Out At Combine

Georgia Bulldogs tight end Brock Bowers was undecided earlier in the week on whether or not he'd work out during this week's NFL combine.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans has reportedly been in discussions with the organization on a possible long-term deal.

AJ Dillon Unlikely To Return To Green Bay

Green Bay Packers running back AJ Dillon might've played his last season with the organization. Dillon is set to become a free agent this offseason and it doesn't sound like the organization is too eager to bring Dillon back next season. The former second-round pick struggled to establish himself during his contract season. Dillon rushed […]

Mason Rudolph Could Return To Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph is set to become a free agent this season. The former third-round pick from 2018 could very well end up right back in Pittsburgh. Recently, Steelers general manager Nick Khan said they want to bring back Rudolph next season. It sounds like the organization still has full faith in Kenny […]

Anthony Davis Good To Go On Thursday

Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis (Achilles) is available ahead of Thursday's game against the Washington Wizards.

However, Davis is […]
