Casey Schmitt Gets Scratched with Back Tightness

San Francisco Giants infielder Casey Schmitt (back) has been scratched from the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the New York Mets. Schmitt has been pulled from the lineup due to back tightness. This doesn't seem like something that will sideline him long, so fantasy managers should consider Schmitt as day-to-day. Jerar Encarnacion will […]

Jorge Polanco Suffers Setback with Achilles Injury

New York Mets infielder Jorge Polanco (Achilles) reportedly suffered a setback in his recovery from his left Achilles tendinitis. With that being said, Polanco is being held out of the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the San Francisco Giants. The veteran slugger has been serving as the designated hitter while battling through this […]

New York Yankees starting pitcher Gerrit Cole (elbow) continues to make progress in his recovery from Tommy John surgery. The veteran right-hander was able to make two starts during Spring Training.

Before […]

Porter has missed the last 11 games and hasn't suited up for a game since March 10. The Nets are sitting at 18-58 on the season with six games remaining on their […]

Walter Clayton Jr. is Ruled Out on Friday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Walter Clayton Jr. (hip) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Toronto Raptors. This is tough news for the Grizzlies, who are already without Ty Jerome (ankle) and Cam Spencer (back) for Friday's game. The absence of Clayton should mean increased roles for Jahmai Mashack, Javon Small, and possibly […]

Terance Mann is Returning on Friday

Brooklyn Nets guard Terance Mann (Achilles) has been removed from the injury report and is back in action ahead of Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Mann sat out of Tuesday's game loss to the Charlotte Hornets due to an Achilles issue. He'll move back into the starting five on Friday. Over the last seven […]

Jose Quintana Gets Placed on Injured List

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Jose Quintana (hamstring) was placed on the 15-day Injured List on Thursday, retroactive to Monday. The veteran southpaw allowed two earned runs across 4.1 innings of work during his season debut on Sunday. He appears to have suffered a right hamstring strain during that start, which will knock him out for […]

Mickey Moniak Could be Activated Ahead of Friday's Game

Colorado Rockies outfielder Mickey Moniak (finger) is expected to be activated from the Injured List ahead of Friday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. The Rockies made some moves on Thursday, but still have an open roster spot ahead of this contest. With that being said, it seems likely the Rockies are keeping that open to […]

Michael Wacha is Scratched from Friday's Start

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Michael Wacha (illness) has been scratched from his scheduled start against the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday. It appears the veteran right-hander is feeling under the weather, so he'll be pulled from this start, but shouldn't need to be placed on the Injured List. Luinder Avila has been recalled from Triple-A […]

Spencer Strider to Throw Bullpen Session on Friday

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Spencer Strider (oblique) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Friday in Phoenix. Strider is currently working his way back from an oblique issue that has kept him sidelined since the end of Spring Training.

Murphy is currently with High-A Rome while he works his way back from right hip surgery. He has been sidelined since the beginning of Spring Training, but Murphy is now heading in the right […]

Andrew Nembhard is Ruled Out for Friday

Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard (back) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Nembhard will miss his second straight game due to back soreness. The Pacers aren't playing for anything besides lottery odds right now, so they have little incentive to play anyone at less than 100 percent. It's unclear […]

Pascal Siakam is Probable for Friday's Game

Indiana Pacers forward Pascal Siakam (knee) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Siakam is expected to be active once again after playing during Wednesday's game. He finished with 25 points, four rebounds, and five assists across 22 minutes during Wednesday's victory. Given the injuries to this roster, Siakam should continue […]

Immanuel Quickley to Miss Seventh Straight Game

Toronto Raptors guard Immanuel Quickley (foot) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Unsurprisingly, Quickley will miss his seventh game in a row due to a lingering foot injury. He's dealing with plantar fasciitis, which really only gets better with rest. Ja'Kobe Walter should continue starting until Quickley is ready […]

Jock Landale to be Re-Evaluated in Two Weeks

Atlanta Hawks center Jock Landale (ankle) will miss the next two weeks of action. Landale will be re-evaluated in two weeks after suffering a right ankle sprain during Wednesday's game. Given his timetable, Landale is likely going to be sidelined for the rest of the regular season. His absence should mean that Mouhamed Gueye takes […]

Kyshawn George Won't Return This Season

Washington Wizards guard/forward Kyshawn George (elbow) will miss the rest of the 2025-2026 season, according to Michael Scotto. George has been out since March 2 due to a Grade 2 distal UCL tear in his left elbow. The Wizards aren't playing for anything at this point in the season. They've decided to let George sit […]

Rollins made his return to the court on Tuesday, but will sit out the second leg of this back-to-back set. He finished with 24 points, nine assists, and seven rebounds across 36 minutes of action. The Bucks will likely […]

Myles Turner Won't Play on Wednesday

Milwaukee Bucks center Myles Turner (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Houston Rockets. This appears to be a rest day for Turner during the second leg of the back-to-back set. Turner returned to the lineup on Tuesday and finished with 10 points, eight rebounds, and four blocks in 27 minutes […]

Pascal Siakam to Play on Wednesday

Indiana Pacers forward Pascal Siakam (knee) is available to play ahead of Wednesday's game against the Chicago Bulls. As expected, Siakam will play after being listed as probable on the injury report due to a lingering right knee issue. The Pacers have a ton of injuries right now, so Siakam is the go-to guy on […]

Scottie Barnes is Available on Wednesday

Toronto Raptors guard/forward Scottie Barnes (shoulder) is available to play ahead of Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Barnes will shake off the questionable tag and suit up for this game after being tagged on the injury report due to a left shoulder contusion.

Brandon Ingram is Absent on Wednesday

Toronto Raptors forward Brandon Ingram (heel) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. In an unsurprising decision, the Raptors have decided to rest Ingram during the second leg of this back-to-back set. Ingram will take a seat due to right heel inflammation management. The expectation is that Ingram will be […]

Immanuel Quickley to Miss Sixth Straight Game

Toronto Raptors guard Immanuel Quickley (foot) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Quickley will miss his sixth game in a row due to right foot plantar fasciitis. It sounds like Quickley is progressing in his recovery, but he should still be considered doubtful for Friday's contest against the Memphis […]
