Taylor Rogers Notches First Save

San Francisco Giants relief pitcher Taylor Rogers was asked to take the mound in the ninth inning during Sunday's game against the Kansas City Royals.

Wendell Carter Jr. Upgraded To Questionable

Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Miami Heat.

Memphis Grizzlies center Steven Adams (knee) is unlikely to play in the upcoming postseason. The big man has been sidelined since January due to a sprained PCL in his right knee.

Jarrett Allen Questionable For Sunday

Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Charlotte Hornets.

It's likely that Robin […]

Jaylen Brown Won't Play On Sunday

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (finger) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Atlanta Hawks.

De'Andre Hunter Probable For Sunday

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (knee) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Boston Celtics. This seems odd considering the Hawks are resting most of their starters in this game.

Hendon Hooker Getting High Praise

Tennessee quarterback Hendon Hooker is likely to miss most of his rookie season after tearing his ACL in November.

He threw for 3,135 yards […]

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Jake Odorizzi (shoulder) is expected to miss the entire 2023 campaign. The right-hander has been dealing with arm fatigue, so the team decided to have him undergo further testing.
