Marcus Morris Sr. Sitting Out On Monday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Marcus Morris Sr. (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Chicago Bulls. The 33-year-old is dealing with a non-COVID related illness, so the team will play it safe and have Morris sit this game out. His absence should mean that Nicolas Batum and Robert Covington get extended playing […]

Karl-Anthony Towns To Sit Out On Monday

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns (calf) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Sacramento Kings. This doesn't come as a surprise considering it's the second game of a back-to-back set. The Wolves want to keep Towns healthy, so they'll give him a rest day on Monday. The absence of Towns should mean increased […]

Tyrese Haliburton Won't Play On Monday

Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Haliburton recently returned after missing six games due to a right ankle sprain. Now, the team is going to give Haliburton a rest day after he played through the ankle issue over the past two games. The Pacers […]

Myles Turner Unavailable On Monday

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (back) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. It appears this is going to be a rest day for Turner while he continues to recover from a lower back issue. His absence should mean that Isaiah Jackson moves into the starting five. Jackson has been a […]

Calais Campbell To Meet With Lions

Free-agent defensive end Calais Campbell is scheduled to visit with the Detroit Lions on Thursday. The 36-year-old continues to meet with teams before he decides where he wants to play next season.

Free-agent wide receiver Bryan Edwards has signed with the New Orleans Saints. The details of the contract haven't been announced, but it's assumed to be a one-year deal.

[…]

Brock Purdy Viewed As Starter

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (elbow) has earned the right to start, according to general manager John Lynch. He continued by saying that Purdy is the leader in the clubhouse.

JT Brubaker Could Miss Time

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher JT Brubaker (elbow, forearm) is expected to undergo further testing to determine the severity of his injury.

Juan Soto Likely To Play On Opening Day

San Diego Padres outfielder Juan Soto (oblique) looked good during Monday's minor league spring training contest.

It sounds like Soto is going to be ready despite him dealing with a mild left oblique strain that he suffered earlier in […]

Owen Miller Makes Opening Day Roster

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Owen Miller has made the Opening Day roster. It's a bit surprising, but Miller did play well this spring. He'll serve in a versatile super-utility role for the Brewers. Miller slashed 243/.301/.351 with six home runs, 51 RBI last season with the Cleveland Guardians. He beat out outfielder Joey Wiemer for a […]

Anthony Volpe To Bat Ninth In Debut

New York Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe is likely to bat ninth on Opening Day, according to manager Aaron Boone.

Tyler Wells Likely To Make Roster

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Tyler Wells is likely to make the Opening Day roster. The current reports are that the O's are planning to option top pitching prospect Grayson Rodriguez to Triple-A to begin the season. That means, Kyle Bradish and Wells are the two most likely candidates to make the roster. Wells appears to […]

Grayson Rodriguez Won't Make Opening Day Roster

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Grayson Rodriguez is expected to head to Triple-A to begin the 2023 season. The 23-year-old is one of the top pitching prospects in the league, but the team feels like he needs a little more time in the minors. That could be true considering Rodriguez allowed 15 runs (12 earned) on […]

Buddy Hield Listed As Out For Monday

Indiana Pacers guard Buddy Hield (illness) is listed as out for Monday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. This is a shame considering Hield has played in every game this season until this point. Luckily, this shouldn't be a long absence considering he's dealing with a non-COVID related illness. His absence should mean Jordan Nwora and […]

Luka Doncic Available On Monday

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic will be available for Monday's game against the Indiana Pacers. The 24-year-old received his 16th technical foul on Sunday, which results in a one-game suspension. However, it appears that foul was rescinded by the league. That means, Doncic is available and should play his normal role in Monday's contest. This […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo To Sit Out On Monday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Detroit Pistons. It appears the 28-year-old superstar is dealing with a minor knee issue, so the team is going take the cautious approach here. The Bucks should be fine without Antetokounmpo against the tanking Pistons. His absence should open up […]

De'Aaron Fox Available On Monday

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (hamstring) is available for Monday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. This is good news after Fox missed Saturday's contest due to right hamstring soreness. The expectation is that Fox won't be limited after a one-game absence and slide right back into the starting five. That also means, Davion Mitchell will […]

Joel Embiid Won't Suit Up Versus Nuggets

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (calf) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Denver Nuggets. The big man was questionable heading into this game, but has been officially ruled out after workouts on Monday morning. The Sixers will likely use a committee approach to try and fill the void. That means, P.J. Tucker, […]

James Harden On Track To Play Monday

Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden (Achilles) is on track to suit up for Monday's game against the Denver Nuggets. It appears the veteran guard is ready to get back on the court after missing the last three games due to Achilles soreness. The Sixers can certainly use Harden's help with Joel Embiid (calf) on the […]

Matt Strahm To Begin Season As Starter

Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Matt Strahm will begin the season as the fifth starter, according to manager Rob Thompson. It was reported earlier in the spring that Strahm was going to be a multi-inning reliever this season. However, the injury to Ranger Suarez (forearm) has changed the Phillies plans for Strahm. He's expected to throw around […]

Yoan Moncada Removed Early On Sunday

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada (back) has been removed early during Sunday's Cactus League matchup against the Colorado Rockies. It sounds like the switch-hitting infielder was removed was a precaution due to lower back stiffness. This doesn't sound like an issue that is going to force Moncada to be placed on the injured […]

Leury Garcia Unlikely To Make Opening Day Roster

Chicago White Sox infielder Leury Garcia is not expected to make the Opening Day roster. The 31-year-old has struggled, hitting .222 with a homer, two RBI, and two stolen bases this spring.

Bryan Shaw Released By White Sox

Chicago White Sox relief pitcher Bryan Shaw has been released by the organization on Sunday. The 35-year-old joined the team on a minor-league deal this spring.

Wander Franco Optimistic For Opening Day

Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Wander Franco (quad) underwent an MRI exam on Sunday to find out the severity of his injury.

Triston McKenzie Pulled During Sunday's Start

Cleveland Guardians starting pitcher Triston McKenzie (arm) was pulled early during Sunday's Cactus League contest. The team is saying that McKenzie's removal from the contest was a precautionary measure. McKenzie was only able to pitch one inning before exiting the game due to arm tightness. It sounds like the team believes this is a minor […]

Amed Rosario Discussing Extension

Cleveland Guardians shortstop Amed Rosario is reportedly talking extension with the organization. It sounds like the organization has reached out to Rosario's agent about a possible extension. Despite that, there isn't strong inclination that a deal is going to get done between the two sides. Rosario has mentioned he enjoys playing in Cleveland and doesn't […]
