Baltimore Orioles shortstop Jorge Mateo (finger) is back in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Texas Rangers. He missed Sunday's game after suffering a cut on his finger during Saturday's contest. It sounds like this was only a minor issue and Mateo shouldn't be impacted by this going forward. He only has four […]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 Dolphins don't exactly need Wilson after signing Braxton Berrios this […]

Los Angeles Clippers guard Eric Gordon (hip) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans.

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.

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.
