The right-hander has a 4.07 ERA with a 114/31 K/BB ratio over 86 1/3 innings between Double-A and Triple-A this season. It appears he does have decent swing-and-miss swing.

Monte Morris Could Be Starting Point Guard
Washington Wizards guard Monte Morris could emerge in the starting five right away with his new team. Morris and Will Barton were traded to Washington as part of a trade with the Denver Nuggets earlier this offseason. The Wizards do have Delon Wright, but it sounds like Morris has the edge over Wright. Wizards coach... Read More
Kendrick Nunn Feels 100 Percent
Los Angeles Lakers guard Kendrick Nunn (knee) is expected to take the court to begin the 2022-2023 season. He missed all of last season due to a lingering knee issue.

Ish Wainwright Agrees To Two-Way Contract
Phoenix Suns forward Ish Wainwright has reportedly agreed to a two-way contract to return with the organization. He appeared in 45 games last season, but only averaged eight minutes per contest.

Pascal Siakam Looks Fantastic
Toronto Raptors forward Pascal Siakam has looked absolutely spectacular, according to head coach Nick Nurse. Siakam is coming off third-round fantasy value with the Raptors last season. "His athleticism is electric, his focus, his shot is smooth and soft. He looks great," said Nurse. There is a chance that Siakam does lose some touches to... Read More
Warriors Won't Rush Andre Iguodala
Free-agent forward Andre Iguodala still hasn't decided whether or not he'll return next season. Despite that, the Warriors say they have no plans of rushing Iggy to make a decision.

Anthony Barr Signs With Cowboys
The Dallas Cowboys have agreed to a deal with linebacker Anthony Barr. The four-time Pro Bowl linebacker was surprisingly unsigned up to this point.

Chester Rogers Signs With Texans
Free-agent wide receiver Chester Rogers has agreed to a one-year deal with the Houston Texans. The 28-year-old visited with Houston on Monday, so apparently that went very well.

Diontae Johnson, Steelers Not Close On Extension
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson is unlikely to sign an extension anytime soon. In fact, Gerry Dulac reports that Johnson and the Steelers are far apart on a new deal.

Whit Merrifield Traded To Toronto
Kansas City Royals second baseman Whit Merrifield has been traded to the Toronto Blue Jays. This is a bit of an odd move considering Merrifield's vaccination status. All players who play in Toronto must be vaccinated and Merrifield missed a series earlier in Toronto due to his status. Regardless, the Royals will receive infielders Samad... Read More
