The New York Mets have claimed shortstop Tsung-Che Cheng off waivers from the Tampa Bay Rays. He was claimed off waivers by the Rays on January 8 from the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Rays designated Cheng for assignment to free up a spot on their 40-man roster following a trade. He'll now head to New York […]

Marlins Claim Osvaldo Bido Off Waivers

The Miami Marlins have claimed right-handed pitcher Osvaldo Bido off waivers from the Tampa Bay Rays. Bido was claimed off waivers by the Rays in December from the Atlanta Braves. He was designated for assignment by Tampa Bay after they needed to open a 40-man roster spot following a trade. The Marlins have decided to […]

Victor Caratini Signs Two-Year Deal With Twins

The Minnesota Twins have agreed to a deal with free-agent catcher Victor Caratini on Friday. They've agreed on a two-year, $14 million deal, according to Robert Murray. At first glance, this seems like an odd fit given the Twins already have Ryan Jeffers. There's still a scenario that the rebuilding Twins trade Jeffers and use […]

Brad Keller Joins Team USA for World Baseball Classic

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Brad Keller has decided to join Team USA for the upcoming World Baseball Classic. This should pretty much round out the pitching staff, but it's always possible that someone drops out. This is a nice addition to the roster as Keller experienced a breakout season with the Chicago Cubs in 2025. […]

Gavin Lux to Primarily Play Second Base for Rays

According to Marc Topkin, newly acquired infielder/outfielder Gavin Lux is going to primarily play second base with the Tampa Bay Rays.

J.T. Realmuto Signs Three-Year Deal to Return to Phillies

The Philadelphia Phillies have reached an agreement to bring back free-agent catcher J.T. Realmuto. They've agreed on a three-year, $45 million deal, which could total to $60 million with incentives. A deal between the two seemed inevitable as a return to Philly makes sense for both sides. The 34-year-old has seen a regression in production […]

Chase Shugart Traded to Phillies

Pittsburgh Pirates relief pitcher Chase Shugart was traded to the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday. In exchange, the Pirates receive infielder Francisco Loreto. Shugart was designated for assignment by the Pirates last week, but will now be shipped out for an 18-year-old infielder. Last season, Shugart registered a 3.40 ERA, 1.11 WHIP, and a 31/17 K/BB […]

Cubs Claim Justin Dean Off Waivers

The Chicago Cubs claimed outfielder Justin Dean off waivers from the San Francisco Giants. Dean made his MLB debut last season when he played in 18 games with the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Jonathan Loaisiga Joins Diamondbacks on Minor-League Deal

The Arizona Diamondbacks signed relief pitcher Jonathan Loaisiga to a minor-league deal on Tuesday. Loaisiga spent the last eight seasons with the New York Yankees.

Carter Kieboom Signs Minor-League Deal With Guardians

The Cleveland Guardians have signed infielder Carter Kieboom to a minor-league deal with an invite to spring training. Kieboom is a former first-round pick of the Washington Nationals from 2016.

Rays Designate Tsung-Che Cheng for Assignment

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Tsung-Che Cheng was designated for assignment by the organization on Monday. He was claimed off waivers by the Rays from the Pittsburgh Pirates last week.

Osvaldo Bido Designated for Assignment by Rays

Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Osvaldo Bido was designated for assignment by the organization on Monday. Bido was recently picked up on waivers by the Rays, but he won't make it to camp. The Rays acquired infielder Brett Wisley and pitcher Ken Waldichuk from the Atlanta Braves, so they needed to make cuts from their 40-man […]

Rodolfo Castro Released by Blue Jays

Toronto Blue Jays infielder Rodolfo Castro was released by the organization over the weekend. Castro recently signed a minor-league deal with the Jays in November. He wasn't even able to make it to camp before getting let go by the organization. His upside in the power department should be able to land him another opportunity. […]

Cubs Sign Corbin Martin to Minor-League Deal

The Chicago Cubs have signed relief pitcher Corbin Martin to a minor-league contract with an invite to spring training. Martin is a former second-round pick who hasn't been able to establish himself at the big league level.

Eloy Jimenez Signs Minor-League Deal With Blue Jays

The Toronto Blue Jays have signed free-agent outfielder Eloy Jimenez to a minor-league deal with an invitation to spring training.

Aaron Holiday is Moving into Starting Five

Houston Rockets guard Aaron Holiday will move into the starting five ahead of Sunday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He'll take over with the starting unit with Tari Eason (ankle) ruled out. A shift into the starting five doesn't exactly make Holiday an appealing fantasy option. This season, Holiday is averaging 6.3 points, 0.9 rebounds, […]

Aaron Gordon is Available on Sunday

Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (hamstring) is available to play ahead of Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Gordon is ready to go after being listed as probable on the injury report earlier in the day. He'll move into the starting five on Sunday, but the Nuggets are likely to continue monitoring his minutes. Since […]

Christian Braun is Downgraded to Out

Denver Nuggets guard/forward Christian Braun (ankle) has been downgraded to out ahead of Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Braun was originally probable, but will now sit out Sunday's game due to an ankle problem. His absence should mean that Bruce Brown will move into the starting five. Brown has been an inconsistent fantasy option, […]

Jamal Murray is Unavailable on Sunday

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (ankle, illness) is ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He will miss his second straight game due to an ankle issue and lingering illness. The already banged-up Nuggets will need to rely on Jalen Pickett to play big minutes once again. He has posted back-to-back seven-point […]

Kristaps Porzingis Won't Play on Sunday

Atlanta Hawks center Kristaps Porzingis (Achilles) is ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Porzingis will miss his second game in a row due to left Achilles tendinitis. When healthy, Porzingis is a viable fantasy option, but he has only been able to suit up for 17 games this season. His […]

Kevin Porter Jr. is Available to Play on Sunday

Milwaukee Bucks guard Kevin Porter Jr. (hip) is officially available ahead of Sunday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Porter was listed as probable earlier in the day due to a left hip contusion. It won't be enough to hold him out of this game, so he should play his regular role in the rotation. Porter […]

Christian Braun Downgraded to Questionable on Sunday

Denver Nuggets guard/forward Christian Braun (ankle) has been downgraded from probable to questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. This is not a good sign, especially with the 8:00 pm ET tip-off quickly approaching. Braun was held scoreless across 25 minutes of action during Friday's game. The ankle issue that forced him to […]

Tyler Herro to Suit Up on Sunday

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (toe, ribs) has been cleared to suit up for Sunday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Herro is working through a pair of injuries, but will play through them during the second leg of the back-to-back on Sunday. It didn't seem to impact him on Saturday when he dropped 21 […]

Norman Powell Ruled Out for Sunday's Game

Miami Heat guard Norman Powell (back) is ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Powell was a late addition to the injury report due to lower back soreness. It's the second night of a back-to-back set, so the Heat will take the cautious approach and hold out Powell. With him sidelined, […]

Victor Wembanyama Cleared for Sunday

San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama (knee) is available to play ahead of Sunday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He will shed the questionable tag and play through a left knee bone bruise. The knee issue hasn't impacted his performance as he finished with 21 points, six rebounds, and three blocks across 26 minutes on […]

Last season, Johnson posted a 3.05 ERA, 1.20 WHIP, and a 59/19 K/BB ratio across 65 games with the Atlanta Braves. A solid […]

Marcelo Mayer is Preparing to Play Multiple Positions

Boston Red Sox infielder Marcelo Mayer is preparing to play both second and third base this upcoming season. In 2025, Mayer played mostly third base, but saw action at second and shortstop as well. The absence of Alex Bregman means that Mayer should be able to see regular time at third base now. The Red […]

Cody Bellinger Unlikely to Re-Sign With Yankees

According to Buster Olney of ESPN, free-agent outfielder Cody Bellinger is unlikely to re-sign with the New York Yankees. The two sides have been linked together all offseason, but no deal has been finalized yet. The Yankees reportedly offered Bellinger a five-year deal for at least $30 million per season. Bellinger, who is represented by […]
