Bryan Mata Optioned To Minors

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Bryan Mata has been optioned to Triple-A Worcester on Sunday. The 23-year-old looked fantastic during Grapefruit action this spring. He threw seven scoreless innings with a 1.00 WHIP and six strikeouts. The right-hander made his return to the mound last season after a lengthy absence due to Tommy John surgery. […]

Nestor Cortes Hopeful To Make Spring Debut Soon

New York Yankees starting pitcher Nestor Cortes (hamstring) is scheduled to make his Spring Training debut on March 18 against the Baltimore Orioles. It's worth noting this is a tentative date, so it could change. The left-hander is scheduled to throw a live bullpen session on Monday. He was diagnosed with a Grade 2 right […]

Kyle Hendricks Throws Successful Bullpen Session

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Kyle Hendricks (shoulder) was able to throw a successful 30-pitch bullpen session on Friday. The right-hander said he felt good afterwards, which is good news. The organization plans to have Hendricks throw multiple bullpen sessions before having him face live hitters. The Cubs are hopeful that Hendricks is going to be […]

Brooks Raley Expected To Be Ready For Opening Day

New York Mets relief pitcher Brooks Raley (hamstring) should be ready for Opening Day, according to manager Buck Showalter. The left-hander recently dropped out of the World Baseball Classic due to a low-grade left hamstring strain. The organization doesn't seem too concerned and believes he could return as early as Tuesday. It sounds like Raley […]

Kodai Senga Should Be Ready For Opening Day

New York Mets starting pitcher Kodai Senga (finger) should be ready for Opening Day, according to manager Buck Showalter. The 30-year-old was scratched from Saturday's Spring Training matchup due to right finger soreness. The organization believes this is a minor issue, so Senga shouldn't need a stint on the injured list. There are still concerns […]

Caleb Martin Won't Play Saturday

Miami Heat forward Caleb Martin (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Orlando Magic. The Heat are likely to use multiple players to help fill the void of Martin. The expectation is that Kevin Love is going to play a majority of the minutes at power forward. However, Haywood Highsmith and Jimmy […]

Goran Dragic To Play On Saturday

Milwaukee Bucks guard Goran Dragic (knee) will suit up for Saturday's game against the Golden State Warriors. The 36-year-old is set to make his team debut, but he isn't expected to have a huge role in the rotation. Jrue Holiday is healthy and will handle a majority of the point guard minutes. Dragic should compete […]

Jalen Brunson Considered Day-To-Day

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (foot) underwent an X-ray on his left foot, which came back negative, according to Tom Thibodeau. Brunson exited early on Thursday after missing each of the last two games due to a foot issue. Luckily, the X-rays came back negative, so Brunson is only dealing with a bruise. The […]

T.J. McConnell Ruled Out For Saturday

Indiana Pacers guard T.J. McConnell (back) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Detroit Pistons. The Pacers are going to be without two guards with Tyrese Haliburton (knee) on the sideline as well. George Hill and Andrew Nembhard will both be asked to take on an increased workload. Between the two, Nembhard is […]

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (back) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Detroit Pistons. The Pacers are going to be without Tyrese Haliburton (knee) and T.J.

Tyrese Haliburton Unavailable On Saturday

Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Detroit Pistons. The Pacers are going to be without three of their key players for this game. The hope is that this is only going to be a one-game absence for Haliburton. In his absence, George Hill and Andrew Nembhard […]

Bobby Miller Unlikely To Pitch In Cactus League

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Bobby Miller is unlikely to pitch during Spring Training, according to manager Dave Roberts. It appears the Dodgers are going to bring him along slowly after giving Miller an increased workload last season. The right-hander threw 112 1/2 innings between Double-A and Triple-A last season. The 23-year-old has excellent stuff […]

Charlie Blackmon Exits Early On Friday

Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon (back) was forced to exit early during Friday's Spring Training contest. Luckily, the veteran outfielder says he's fine and dealing with some back stiffness. It sounds like Blackmon is day-to-day, but has avoided any serious injuries. The 36-year-old should still have a little left in the tank after another decent […]

Mitch Haniger Considered Day-To-Day

San Francisco Giants outfielder Mitch Haniger (oblique) is considered day-to-day after suffering an injury ahead of Friday's Cactus League matchup. The right-handed slugger was scratched from the lineup earlier in the day for unknown reasons. It appears Haniger is dealing with oblique tightness, which could hold him out for a few days, according to manager […]

Craig Stammen Removed From Friday's Game

San Diego Padres pitcher Craig Stammen (shoulder) was removed early during Friday's Cactus League contest. The veteran right-hander was forced to exit early due to discomfort in his pitching shoulder. This is not good news considering Stammen missed a majority of the second half of the 2022 campaign due to shoulder issues. It's likely that […]

Brandon Belt Takes Live Swings On Friday

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Brandon Belt (knee) was able to take live batting practice on Friday. This is just one step closer for Belt to get back into game action. The organization is hopeful that Belt can make his Grapefruit league debut at some point this upcoming week. The 34-year-old has been brought along […]

Brandon Ingram Uncertain For Saturday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Ingram was forced to exit early on Wednesday due to a sprained right ankle. It wouldn't be shocking to see the oft-injured forward miss this game. Naji Marshall started in the second half of Wednesday's game, […]

Kyrie Irving Misses Friday's Practice

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (personal) was unable to practice on Friday. However, head coach Jason Kidd is hopeful that Irving is able to play during Saturday's game. The Mavericks are already going to be without Luka Doncic (quad) for this contest. The loss of Irving would leave the Mavs extremely shorthanded. Josh Green, Jaden […]

Bennedict Mathurin To Miss Next Two Games

Indiana Pacers guard Bennedict Mathurin (ankle) is expected to miss the next two games, according to head coach Rick Carlisle. Mathurin was only able to play three minutes during Thursday's game before exiting due to a right ankle sprain. The expectation is that Chris Duarte and Jordan Nwora will be asked to help fill the […]

Darius Garland Tagged As Questionable For Friday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (quad) is considered questionable for Friday's game against the Miami Heat. He is a new addition to the injury report after his 25-point performance during Wednesday's game. His absence would mean that Ricky Rubio would likely move into the starting five. Also, Donovan Mitchell and Caris LeVert would probably have […]

Norman Powell To Miss Another Week

Los Angeles Clippers guard Norman Powell (shoulder) is scheduled to be re-evaluated in one week. The 29-year-old has already missed one week of action, but it appears Powell will miss at least one more week. In the meantime, Terance Mann and Eric Gordon should see increased roles and scoring opportunities. Both have some streaming appeal, […]

Luka Doncic Ruled Out For Saturday

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (thigh) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Doncic was forced to exit early during Wednesday's game due to a thigh issue. Luckily, the MRI results came back clean, so the team is calling Doncic day-to-day right now. It's not too shocking that he'll miss this […]

Dak Prescott Restructures Contract

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has restructured his contract on Friday. Both Prescott and right guard Zack Martin have agreed to new deals. These restructures will save the organization nearly $30 million in cap space. This is certainly going to help, but won't solve all the Cowboys issues. They still need to figure out what […]

Salvon Ahmed To Remain With Dolphins

Miami Dolphins running back Salvon Ahmed has agreed to a one-year deal to remain with the team. The deal is reportedly worth up to $1.8 million, but some of it will likely need to be earned through incentives. The 24-year-old only saw 12 carries for 64 yards and one touchdown in 12 games with the […]

James Robinson Will Become Free Agent

New York Jets running back James Robinson will not be tendered by the organization, which makes him a free agent. The 24-year-old was acquired by the team mid-season, but only ended up playing in four games with the team. He is more than a year removed from a torn Achilles that he suffered at the […]

Brandon Graham Signs One-Year Deal

The Philadelphia Eagles have re-signed defensive end Brandon Graham to a one-year deal. This deal is worth up to $6 million for the upcoming 2023 campaign. The 13-year veteran has decided to stay with the Eagles rather than test free agency. The 34-year-old recorded a career-high 11 sacks last season, so he clearly still has […]

Saints Offer Jameis Winston Restructured Deal

New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston has been given an opportunity to remain with the organization. The team has reportedly offered Winston a restructured deal to stay with the team in 2023. Otherwise, the Saints are expected to cut Winston by next Wednesday. The former No. 1 pick has been limited to 14 games (10 […]

Darius Slay To Seek A Trade

Philadelphia Eagles defensive back Darius Slay has been granted permission to seek a trade. The organization is still hopeful to get a deal done, but it seems likely that the two sides split this offseason. The release of Slay would with a dead cap hit of $21.265 million, but they could save $4 million with […]

Tyreek Hill Restructures Contract

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill has agreed to restructure his contract on Friday. The organization is converting Hill's $10 million roster bonus and $16 million salary into a $24.835 million bonus and an $1.165 million salary. All of this is going to save the team $18 million for the upcoming 2023 season. They also […]

Vikings Release Adam Thielen

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen has been released by the organization on Friday. This doesn't come as much of a shock considering Thielen was set to earn nearly $20 million next season. That is the highest cap hit for any non-quarterback on the Vikings roster. Now, the 33-year-old will get a chance to test […]
