Whit Merrifield Absent On Monday

Toronto Blue Jays second baseman Whit Merrifield (rest) is absent from Monday's starting lineup against the Kansas City Royals. This appears to be a routine day off for the 34-year-old veteran.

Lars Nootbaar To Miss Third Straight Game

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Lars Nootbaar (thumb) remains out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Atlanta Braves. Nootbaar jammed his thumb while sliding into third base during Thursday's season opener. He hasn't been able to play since then, but the team doesn't believe that Nootbaar will require a trip to the injured […]

Brandon Lowe Returning On Monday

Tampa Bay Rays second baseman Brandon Lowe (toe) is back in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Washington Nationals. The left-handed slugger suffered a right toe contusion during Saturday's game. Lowe sat out on Sunday because of the injury, but appears to be feeling good enough to play on Monday. It doesn't sound […]

Bam Adebayo Questionable For Tuesday

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (hip) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. The big man was forced to miss Saturday's contest due to a hip contusion. The Heat still have a chance of claiming the sixth-seed, so every game is important right now. Cody Zeller was asked to step up […]

OG Anunoby Uncertain For Tuesday

Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby (ankle) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. The 25-year-old left early during Sunday's game due to a mild ankle sprain.

Khris Middleton Listed As Out For Tuesday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (rest) is listed as out for Tuesday's game against the Washington Wizards. This doesn't come as a surprise considering Tuesday is the front end of a back-to-back set. Middleton has not played in both games of a back-to-back set since returning from injury. The Bucks are saving Middleton for a […]

Andrew Wiggins Nearing Return

Golden State Warriors guard Andrew Wiggins (personal) is expected to be back with the team early this week. That is great news as Wiggins has missed the last 21 games due to personal reasons. His return would be a welcoming sight for the Warriors with the playoffs quickly approaching. It might take some time for […]

Luka Doncic, Kyrie Irving Could Be Shut Down

Walker Kessler Placed In Concussion Protocol

Utah Jazz center Walker Kessler (concussion) was forced to exit early during Sunday's game after taking a shot to the head from a teammate. The rookie big man has now entered concussion protocol. That being said, Kessler could very well miss the rest of the regular season. If that's true, the Jazz would likely use […]

Alexis Diaz Records Second Save

Cincinnati Reds relief pitcher Alexis Diaz took the mound for the second day in a row during Sunday's matchup against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The right-hander struck out one batter in what ended up being a perfect inning. Diaz has picked up back-to-back saves during the first series of the season. That being said, it wouldn't […]

Kodai Senga Solid In MLB Debut

New York Mets starting pitcher Kodai Senga took the mound for his MLB debut against the Miami Marlins on Sunday. The right-hander was shaky early, allowing one run and two walks in the first inning.

At the moment, Mateo […]

Brusdar Graterol Struggles In Loss

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Brusdar Graterol was asked to come into a 1-1 tie in the ninth inning on Sunday. A spot that is typically used for the home team's closer. The right-hander allowed a leadoff double to Ketel Marte to kick off the inning. That was followed by a pair of singles, but […]

Scott McGough Notches First Save

Arizona Diamondbacks relief pitcher Scott McGough picked up his first save of the season on Sunday. The right-hander recorded the final two outs to secure the victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers. On Friday, the D-Backs turned to lefty Andrew Chafin to record the save in the ninth. This time around, Chafin got the final […]

James Robinson Considered Depth Option

New England Patriots running back James Robinson was recently referred to as a depth signing by head coach Bill Belichick. The 24-year-old signed a cheap two-year deal with the organization over the offseason. Robinson struggled in 2022, but did post an 1,000 yard season during his rookie campaign in 2020. He's certainly a talented player […]

Jordyn Brooks Could Miss 2023 Season

Seattle Seahawks linebacker Jordyn Brooks (knee) is unlikely to be ready for the beginning of next season. The 25-year-old tore his ACL on New Year's Day, which means he probably won't be back until late in the season, assuming he returns at all in 2023. Recently, Seahawks general manager John Schneider compared Brooks' timetable to […]

Cedrick Wilson Jr. Could Be Traded

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Cedrick Wilson Jr. appears to be on the trade block this offseason. The organization is reportedly open to moving the 27-year-old, but finding a trade partner might be difficult. Wilson has an $8 million cap hit for the 2023 season. The Dolphins don't exactly need Wilson after signing Braxton Berrios this […]

Eric Gordon Officially Out On Saturday

Los Angeles Clippers guard Eric Gordon (hip) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. The veteran guard exited early on Friday due to hip tightness, so it appears that issue is still bothering him. It's the second night of a back-to-back set, so the Clippers will take the cautious approach […]

Lauri Markkanen Could Miss Sunday's Game

Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (hand) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. The 25-year-old has missed four of the last five games due to a left hand contusion.

Myles Turner Listed As Questionable For Sunday

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (back, ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Boston Celtics. The big man has missed each of the last four games due to nagging back and ankle issues. The Pacers trail the Chicago Bulls by four games for the 10th seed with four games remaining on the […]

LeBron James Could Sit Against Rockets

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Houston Rockets. The superstar forward was questionable heading into their last contest and ended up playing 32 minutes in that one. The expectation is that James is going to have a similar workload on Sunday. Otherwise, Troy Brown Jr. […]

Anthony Edwards Uncertain For Sunday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. The young guard has played through an illness in each of the last two games. The assumption is that Edwards would suit up once again on Sunday, but it depends on how he's feeling. That being said, […]

De'Andre Hunter Considered Day-To-Day

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (knee) was held out of Friday's game and won't suit up for Sunday's contest against the Dallas Mavericks.

Kyle Lowry Available On Saturday

Miami Heat guard Kyle Lowry (knee) is available for Saturday's game against the Dallas Mavericks.

It's worth noting that he's only played […]

Kyle Bradish To Make Season Debut On Monday

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Kyle Bradish is scheduled to make his season debut against the Texas Rangers on Monday. He'll be the team's fourth starter with Tyler Wells getting the nod as the fifth starter on Tuesday. Bradish was hit-or-miss during his outings in spring training. He does have the stuff to succeed in the […]

Max Fried Will Be Placed On Injured List

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Max Fried (hamstring) will require a trip to the injured list, according to manager Brian Snitker. The left-hander suffered a left hamstring strain during Thursday's contest. It sounds like the team plans to wait until Fried's next scheduled start before officially placing him on the injured list. Bryce Elder or Ian […]

Ranger Suarez To Throw Again On Monday

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Ranger Suarez (elbow) threw a bullpen session on Friday. Afterwards, Suarez felt fine and is scheduled to throw another bullpen session on Monday.

Mike Moustakas Making Season Debut

Colorado Rockies third baseman Mike Moustakas is set to make his season debut against the San Diego Padres on Saturday. The left-handed slugger sat out the first two games of the regular season. Now, Moustakas will bat seventh and serve as the designated hitter against right-hander Michael Wacha. The 34-year-old didn't offer much upside with […]

Kyle Lewis To Leadoff On Saturday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Kyle Lewis is set to bat leadoff against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday. He'll serve as the designated hitter versus left-hander Clayton Kershaw.
