Jalen Brunson Will Play On Thursday

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (foot) is officially available for Thursday's game against the Sacramento Kings. That is great news after Brunson missed the last two games due to left foot soreness. He should immediately resume his role in the starting five, which will shift Immanuel Quickley to the bench. Quickley should still have […]

Bennedict Mathurin Unable To Return On Thursday

Indiana Pacers guard Bennedict Mathurin (ankle) has been ruled out for the rest of Thursday's game against the Houston Rockets. The 20-year-old guard played three minutes before suffering a sprained right ankle.

Charlotte Hornets center Mark Williams (thumb) won't return to Thursday's game against the Detroit Pistons. The big man suffered a sprained right thumb during the first half of this contest.

Kolby Allard To Be Placed On Injured List

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Kolby Allard (oblique) won't be ready for Opening Day. The left-hander has been diagnosed with a Grade 2 right oblique strain on Thursday. That being said, Allard is going to begin the season on the injured list. There was a chance that Allard would make the Opening Day roster. Both Kyle […]

David Peterson Throws On Thursday

New York Mets starting pitcher David Peterson (foot) was able to face live hitters during a batting practice session on Thursday.

Jose Iglesias Signs Minor-League Deal

The Miami Marlins have signed shortstop Jose Iglesias to a minor-league deal on Thursday. They also reportedly signed Yulieski Gurriel as well, so they've added multiple infielders to their roster. The expectation is that Iglesias will provide utility depth to their infield. The 33-year-old is likely to compete with Garrett Hampson for a spot on […]

Yuliesky Gurriel Agrees To Deal With Marlins

The Miami Marlins have signed first baseman Yulieski Gurriel to an undisclosed deal on Thursday. The assumption is that it's going to be a one-year minor-league deal. The 38-year-old should provide depth at first base and designated hitter for Miami. Last season, Gurriel struggled at the plate with a .647 OPS and only eight home […]

Hunter Greene Named Opening Day Starter

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Hunter Greene has been named the Opening Day starter, according to the team's social team page.

Greene has shown flashes of being a […]

Harrison Bader To Undergo Additional Testing

New York Yankees outfielder Harrison Bader (oblique) is set to undergo further testing after "feeling something" in his oblique on Wednesday. Hopefully, this is only the Yankees being extremely cautious with Bader. The 28-year-old might only end up missing a few games, assuming that the tests come back clean. Otherwise, Bader could very well begin […]

Kevin Durant To Miss Three Weeks

Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant (ankle) is going to be sidelined at least the next three weeks. This is a tough break after the superstar forward suffered a left ankle sprain during pre-game warmups on Wednesday. The 34-year-old will hopefully be able to contribute during the Suns' playoff run. Until then, Torrey Craig and Josh […]

Jalen Duren Returning On Thursday

Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (ankle) will make his return to the court on Thursday. This is great news for the Pistons with fellow big man Isaiah Stewart (shoulder) expected to miss multiple weeks. Duren has missed the last six games, so it wouldn't be shocking to see him on a minutes limit here. The […]

Jonathan Kuminga Won't Play On Thursday

Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. The young forward was expected to play until he suffered a left ankle sprain during warmups. It's uncertain who is going to move into the starting five for this game. Kevon Looney (back), JaMychal Green, and Donte […]

Isaiah Stewart To Miss Significant Time

Detroit Pistons center Isaiah Stewart (shoulder) is expected to be sidelined multiple weeks after suffering an injury on Monday. An MRI revealed that Stewart has a left shoulder impingement, which will sideline him three or four weeks. That being said, fantasy managers have little reason to hold onto him at this point. Marvin Bagley III […]

Walker Kessler Returns On Thursday

Utah Jazz center Walker Kessler (illness) is available for Thursday's game against the Orlando Magic. The big man is back after a one-game absence due to a non-COVID related illness. The 21-year-old has been solid lately, averaging 10.5 points, 13.3 rebounds and 4.3 blocks during his last six games. Fantasy managers should make sure to […]

Jordan Clarkson Unavailable On Thursday

Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (hand) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Orlando Magic. The 30-year-old will sit this game out while he deals with a sprained wrist and a dislocated finger. The Jazz are likely to use a committee approach to fill the void of Clarkson. That means, Ochai Agbaji, Talen […]

Will Barton Unavailable On Wednesday

Toronto Raptors forward Will Barton (illness) has been ruled out of Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. The veteran forward is dealing with a non-COVID related illness, so he'll sit this game out. Barton didn't have a huge role in the rotation anyway, but Gary Trent Jr. should see a slight bump in value […]

De'Aaron Fox Removed From Injury Report

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (hamstring) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Thursday's game against the New York Knicks. The 25-year-old has been dealing with lingering hamstring soreness, which forced him out of Monday's game. Despite that, it appears Fox will be ready to go and is expected to play his normal […]

Jalen Brunson Listed As Questionable For Thursday

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (foot) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He has missed each of the last two games due to left foot soreness.

Luka Doncic Pulled Early During Wednesday's Game

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (thigh) was forced to exit early during Wednesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. The 24-year-old was already dealing with a thigh issue heading into this game. It sounds like Doncic made the issue worse by playing in Wednesday's contest. He was pulled out during the third quarter and replaced […]

Brandon Ingram Exits Early On Wednesday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (ankle) suffered an injury during the second quarter of Wednesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Ingram suffered a right ankle sprain, but was reportedly available to return to this game. However, the Pelicans decided to take the cautious approach and have Ingram remain on the bench. The oft-injured forward […]

Greg Jones To Begin Playing Outfield

Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Greg Jones is expected to begin playing outfield this week. The 24-year-old has played shortstop almost exclusively since being drafted in the first-round by the Rays in 2019. Despite that, it sounds like he'll make a move to the outfield with Wander Franco serving as the shortstop in Tampa Bay. Manager […]

Spencer Howard Dealing With Arm Fatigue

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Spencer Howard (arm) was scheduled to take the ball during Monday's Grapefruit contest against the Colorado Rockies. However, that didn't happen due to the fact Howard was dealing with arm fatigue. The expectation is that Howard should be able to take the mound within the next few days, assuming he doesn't […]

Oswald Peraza Misses Monday's Game

New York Yankees shortstop Oswald Peraza (foot) was held out of Monday's Grapefruit matchup against the Pittsburgh Pirates. There is no need for fantasy managers to panic here. It sounds like Peraza is dealing with a minor foot issue, so the team decided to hold him out of this game. The Yankees don't want to […]

Justin Turner Released From The Hospital

Boston Red Sox third baseman Justin Turner (face) has been released from the hospital. The 38-year-old was hit in the face by a pitch during Monday's Grapefruit contest against the Detroit Tigers. He was helped off the field with a trainer and taken to a nearby hospital. Luckily, Turner doesn't appear to be dealing with […]

He finished with career highs in receptions (73) and receiving […]

Cowboys Place Franchise Tag On Tony Pollard

The Dallas Cowboys have placed the franchise tag on running back Tony Pollard. As expected, the Cowboys won't let Pollard enter free agency yet.

Nick Chubb Could Be On The Trade Block

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb could potentially be moved this offseason, according to Marc Sessler.

They already have Kareem Hunt […]

Lamar Jackson Expected To Be Franchise Tagged

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is likely to get the franchise tag ahead of Tuesday's deadline. The two sides have been discussing an extension for roughly two years and still haven't come to terms on a deal. The 26-year-old quarterback is seeking more than the $230 million that Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson received. At […]

Robbie Anderson Expected To Be Cut

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Robbie Anderson is likely to be cut this offseason. The Cardinals would save $12 million against the cap by releasing Anderson. This seems like an easy decision for the Cardinals after Anderson only had seven receptions in 10 games with Arizona. The team is reportedly trying to move DeAndre Hopkins, but […]
