Brandon Belt Scratched On Saturday

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Brandon Belt (illness) has been scratched ahead of Saturday's Grapefruit League contest. It sounds like the veteran slugger is dealing with a stomach bug. That being said, Belt could very well sit the next day or two in order to rest. However, it sounds like Belt should be fine in […]

Kyle Tucker Likely To Return On Sunday

Houston Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker (ankle) is expected to make his return to the lineup on Sunday. The left-handed slugger is recovering from a minor ankle injury that he suffered during the World Baseball Classic. The expectation was that Tucker would return this weekend, barring any setbacks. Tucker should be fine for Opening Day, which […]

Hunter Brown Scheduled To Throw On Sunday

Houston Astros starting pitcher Hunter Brown (back) is scheduled for a bullpen session on Sunday. The right-hander resumed throwing on Friday after being scratched from his start on Wednesday due to a back issue. It sounds like the 24-year-old should be ready in time for Opening Day. The expectation is that Brown is going to […]

Wander Franco Scratched On Saturday

Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Wander Franco (quad) was scratched from the lineup ahead of Saturday's Grapefruit contest. It sounds like this was a precautionary move by the team, so fantasy managers might not need to worry. The team is calling it right quad soreness, so they will likely give Franco a few days off to […]

Hayden Wesneski Wins Rotation Spot

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Hayden Wesneski has been named the fifth-starter heading into Opening Day. He was competing with Adrian Sampson for the final spot in the rotation. The right-hander has been excellent this spring. He's allowed just six runs (four earned) on 13 hits with a 22/6 K/BB ratio across 12 innings. The 25-year-old […]

Nassir Little Considered Probable For Friday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Nassir Little (concussion) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He was held out of Wednesday's game, but it appears he has cleared concussion protocol. There should be minutes available with Damian Lillard (calf) and Jusuf Nurkic (knee) both uncertain to play. Little hasn't done a ton […]

Tyrese Haliburton Participates In Shootaround

Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (ankle) was able to participate in shootaround ahead of Friday's game against the Boston Celtics.

Kelly Oubre Jr. Uncertain For Friday

Charlotte Hornets forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (shoulder) is considered questionable for Friday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Oubre was forced to exit early on Thursday due to a shoulder injury. He didn't return to the game and it appears the left shoulder issue is still bothering him. His absence would mean increased minutes for Gordon […]

Terry Rozier Unlikely To Play On Friday

Charlotte Hornets guard Terry Rozier (foot) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. The veteran guard exited early on Thursday due to right foot discomfort. At this point, it seems unlikely that the Hornets are going to push Rozier back on the court considering they aren't in the playoff hunt anyway. […]

Jusuf Nurkic Doubtful For Friday

Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic (knee) is considered doubtful for Friday's game against the Chicago Bulls. The big man was listed as questionable, but has been downgraded to doubtful due to right knee soreness. The Blazers are likely going to wait until closer to game time to see how Nurkic is feeling. His absence […]

Damian Lillard Downgraded To Questionable

Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard (calf) has been downgraded to questionable ahead of Friday's game against the Chicago Bulls. It appeared Lillard was going to play in this game, but now his status is uncertain due to right calf tightness. The 32-year-old usually attempts to play if he's physically able to, but fantasy managers […]

DeMar DeRozan To Miss Friday's Game

Chicago Bulls forward DeMar DeRozan (quad) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. The veteran forward is still dealing with an injury after exiting Wednesday's game due to a quad strain. It appears he'll miss at least one game because of this injury, but hopefully he'll be back soon. The […]

Anthony Edwards Misses Friday's Practice

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (illness) was unable to suit up for practice on Friday. It sounds like the 21-year-old is dealing with a non-COVID related illness, so the team decided to give him a rest day. The good news is, Edwards isn't dealing with a sprained ankle anymore. The Wolves don't play again until […]

D'Angelo Russell Tagged As Questionable For Friday

Los Angeles Lakers guard D'Angelo Russell (hip) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Russell has played in seven straight games, but is in danger of missing this contest due to a sprained right ankle. The team is likely going to wait until closer to tip-off before making a final […]

Marquez Callaway Signs With Broncos

The Denver Broncos have reached an agreement with free-agent wide receiver Marquez Callaway. The 24-year-old is reunited with head coach Sean Payton after spending the two last seasons with him in New Orleans. Callaway struggled last season, but posted 46 receptions, 698 yards, and six touchdowns in 2021. That being said, the potential is there […]

Marquise Goodwin Signing With Browns

Free-agent wide receiver Marquise Goodwin has signed with the Cleveland Browns. It appears the two sides have agreed on a one-year deal, but the salary is unknown at this moment. The veteran wideout posted 27 receptions, 387 yards, and four touchdowns in 13 games with the Seattle Seahawks last season. The 32-year-old hasn't posted a […]

Panthers Release Zane Gonzalez

Carolina Panthers kicker Zane Gonzalez has been released by the organization. This is odd timing considering the Panthers recently said they were going to stick with Gonzalez. Now, they've re-signed kicker Eddy Pineiro to a two-year deal and parted ways with Gonzalez. The 27-year-old missed all of last season due to a groin issue. Gonzalez […]

David Blough Re-Signs With Cardinals

Arizona Cardinals quarterback David Blough has re-signed with the organization. Blough spent time with three different organizations last season. However, he ended the season with the Cardinals and even made two starts for the team. He completed 38-of-58 passes for 402 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions in those two starts. Blough has made a […]

Eagles Sign Terrell Edmunds

The Philadelphia Eagles have agreed on a deal with free-agent defensive back Terrell Edmunds. He's a former first round pick who has spent the last five seasons as a starter with the Pittsburgh Steelers. The expectation is that Edmunds is going to fill the vacant spot left by C.J. Gardner-Johnson who signed with the Detroit […]

Blake Bell Remaining With Chiefs

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Blake Bell has re-signed with the organization. The veteran tight end will enter his fourth season with the team. Bell has been mainly a backup throughout his career, which is what he'll remain in Kansas City. The 31-year-old has 60 receptions, 641 yards, and one touchdown through eight seasons in […]

DJ Chark Joins Panthers

The Carolina Panthers have agreed on a deal with wide receiver DJ Chark. The two sides have comes to terms on a one-year deal.

Darick Hall To See Bulk Of Starts At First Base

Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Darick Hall is expected to see most of his playing time coming at first base, according to Phillies president Dave Dombrowski. This comes a day after Rhys Hoskins (knee) tore his ACL on a non-contact play. It's uncertain if Hall is going to play against both righty and lefty pitchers. This […]

Max Kepler Returns To Action

Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler (hip) played in a minor league game on Thursday. The left-handed slugger has been sidelined since exiting early during last Sunday's Grapefruit contest. He's dealing with mild hip tightness, but it doesn't sound like it's going to be a long term issue. The expectation is that he'll play in another […]

Ramon Urias Returning On Friday

Baltimore Orioles infielder Ramon Urias (thumb) is back in the lineup for Friday's contest. The 28-year-old was scratched ahead of Thursday's game due to a right thumb contusion. He took a grounder off his thumb, but the team was calling the injury day-to-day. It appears they were right with Urias returning on Friday. Fantasy managers […]

Bryce Johnson Likely To Make Opening Day Roster

San Francisco Giants outfielder Bryce Johnson has a great shot at making the Opening Day roster, according to Giants president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi. The 27-year-old has looked excellent this spring and earned a spot on this team. He's hitting .361 with a league-leading 11 steals in 12 games this spring. Johnson only played […]

Anthony Volpe Could Still Win Starting Gig

New York Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe is still in the running for the starting shortstop spot on the Opening Day roster. The 21-year-old is reportedly getting support from the higher-level people in the Yankees organization. He entered camp as a longshot to win the spot, but has looked excellent this spring. He's hitting .279 with […]

Kyle Gibson Named Opening Day Starter

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Kyle Gibson has been named the Opening Day starter. The 35-year-old signed a one-year, $10 million deal with the team over the offseason. He's by far the most experienced pitcher on the staff, so it makes sense that they'd give him the Opening Day nod. He struggled last season in 31 […]

Lars Nootbaar Will Get Chance At Leadoff

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Lars Nootbaar is expected to get a chance to bat leadoff, according to manager Oliver Marmol. The skipper mentioned that Brendan Donovan, Tommy Edman and Nootbar would all get a chance in the leadoff spot. A move to the leadoff spot would likely slightly boost the fantasy value of Nootbar. He'd likely […]

Jonas Valanciunas Has Impressive Performance

New Orleans Pelicans center Jonas Valanciunas looked unstoppable during Thursday's victory over the Charlotte Hornets. The big man took full advantage of the Hornets being shorthanded during this game. He finished with 20 points, 19 rebounds, and three assists in 34 minutes of action. Valanciunas fell one rebound shy of his seventh game with at […]
