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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Blough has made a […]

Eagles Sign Terrell Edmunds

The Philadelphia Eagles have agreed on a deal with free-agent defensive back Terrell Edmunds.

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.

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.

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.

New York Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe is still in the running for the starting shortstop spot on the Opening Day roster.

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.

Kawhi Leonard Drops 32 Points In Win

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard put on a show during Thursday's win over the Oklahoma City Thunder. The superstar forward is going to be asked to take on a bigger role with Paul George (knee) sidelined for the next few weeks.

Dennis Smith Jr. Pulled Early On Thursday

Charlotte Hornets guard Dennis Smith Jr. (illness) was removed early during Thursday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans.

However, he didn't […]

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (rest) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Utah Jazz.
