Carter Kieboom Signs Minor-League Deal With Guardians

The Cleveland Guardians have signed infielder Carter Kieboom to a minor-league deal with an invite to spring training. Kieboom is a former first-round pick of the Washington Nationals from 2016. He was never able to live up to the hype as he slashed .199/.297/.301 with 12 home runs and 42 RBI across 133 games in […]

Rays Designate Tsung-Che Cheng for Assignment

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Tsung-Che Cheng was designated for assignment by the organization on Monday. He was claimed off waivers by the Rays from the Pittsburgh Pirates last week.

Osvaldo Bido Designated for Assignment by Rays

Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Osvaldo Bido was designated for assignment by the organization on Monday. Bido was recently picked up on waivers by the Rays, but he won't make it to camp. The Rays acquired infielder Brett Wisley and pitcher Ken Waldichuk from the Atlanta Braves, so they needed to make cuts from their 40-man […]

Rodolfo Castro Released by Blue Jays

Toronto Blue Jays infielder Rodolfo Castro was released by the organization over the weekend. Castro recently signed a minor-league deal with the Jays in November. He wasn't even able to make it to camp before getting let go by the organization. His upside in the power department should be able to land him another opportunity. […]

Cubs Sign Corbin Martin to Minor-League Deal

The Chicago Cubs have signed relief pitcher Corbin Martin to a minor-league contract with an invite to spring training. Martin is a former second-round pick who hasn't been able to establish himself at the big league level.

Eloy Jimenez Signs Minor-League Deal With Blue Jays

The Toronto Blue Jays have signed free-agent outfielder Eloy Jimenez to a minor-league deal with an invitation to spring training. This is a low-risk move by the Jays to bring back Jimenez, who spent part of last season in Triple-A Buffalo with the organization. Jimenez hasn't played in the MLB since the 2024 season with […]

Aaron Holiday is Moving into Starting Five

Houston Rockets guard Aaron Holiday will move into the starting five ahead of Sunday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He'll take over with the starting unit with Tari Eason (ankle) ruled out. A shift into the starting five doesn't exactly make Holiday an appealing fantasy option. This season, Holiday is averaging 6.3 points, 0.9 rebounds, […]

Aaron Gordon is Available on Sunday

Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (hamstring) is available to play ahead of Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Gordon is ready to go after being listed as probable on the injury report earlier in the day. He'll move into the starting five on Sunday, but the Nuggets are likely to continue monitoring his minutes. Since […]

Christian Braun is Downgraded to Out

Denver Nuggets guard/forward Christian Braun (ankle) has been downgraded to out ahead of Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Braun was originally probable, but will now sit out Sunday's game due to an ankle problem. His absence should mean that Bruce Brown will move into the starting five. Brown has been an inconsistent fantasy option, […]

Jamal Murray is Unavailable on Sunday

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (ankle, illness) is ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He will miss his second straight game due to an ankle issue and lingering illness. The already banged-up Nuggets will need to rely on Jalen Pickett to play big minutes once again. He has posted back-to-back seven-point […]

Kristaps Porzingis Won't Play on Sunday

Atlanta Hawks center Kristaps Porzingis (Achilles) is ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Porzingis will miss his second game in a row due to left Achilles tendinitis. When healthy, Porzingis is a viable fantasy option, but he has only been able to suit up for 17 games this season. His […]

Kevin Porter Jr. is Available to Play on Sunday

Milwaukee Bucks guard Kevin Porter Jr. (hip) is officially available ahead of Sunday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Porter was listed as probable earlier in the day due to a left hip contusion. It won't be enough to hold him out of this game, so he should play his regular role in the rotation. Porter […]

Christian Braun Downgraded to Questionable on Sunday

Denver Nuggets guard/forward Christian Braun (ankle) has been downgraded from probable to questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. This is not a good sign, especially with the 8:00 pm ET tip-off quickly approaching. Braun was held scoreless across 25 minutes of action during Friday's game. The ankle issue that forced him to […]

Tyler Herro to Suit Up on Sunday

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (toe, ribs) has been cleared to suit up for Sunday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Herro is working through a pair of injuries, but will play through them during the second leg of the back-to-back on Sunday. It didn't seem to impact him on Saturday when he dropped 21 […]

Norman Powell Ruled Out for Sunday's Game

Miami Heat guard Norman Powell (back) is ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Powell was a late addition to the injury report due to lower back soreness. It's the second night of a back-to-back set, so the Heat will take the cautious approach and hold out Powell. With him sidelined, […]

Victor Wembanyama Cleared for Sunday

San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama (knee) is available to play ahead of Sunday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He will shed the questionable tag and play through a left knee bone bruise.

Marcelo Mayer is Preparing to Play Multiple Positions

Boston Red Sox infielder Marcelo Mayer is preparing to play both second and third base this upcoming season. In 2025, Mayer played mostly third base, but saw action at second and shortstop as well.

According to Buster Olney of ESPN, free-agent outfielder Cody Bellinger is unlikely to re-sign with the New York Yankees. The two sides have been linked together all offseason, but no deal has been finalized yet. The Yankees reportedly offered Bellinger a five-year deal for at least $30 million per season. Bellinger, who is represented by […]

Ken Waldichuk Gets Designated for Assignment

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Ken Waldichuk was designated for assignment by the organization on Saturday. This is a short-lived stint in Atlanta for Waldichuk, who was claimed by the organization off waivers from the Athletics on Thursday. The team needed to make room for newly signed reliever Tyler Kinley, and Waldichuk is the odd man […]

Triston Casas Optimistic About Playing in Spring Training

Boston Red Sox first baseman Triston Casas (knee) has resumed baseball activities and is optimistic about playing in Spring Training.

Ceddanne Rafaela Unlikely to Play Second Base

Boston Red Sox outfielder/infielder Ceddanne Rafaela might not shift positions as frequently in 2026. Recently, Red Sox manager Alex Cora said it was unlikely that Rafaela would play second base this season. Due to their logjam in the outfield, Rafaela played 24 games at second base in 2025. His defensive abilities are a much better […]

Lourdes Gurriel Jr. is Ahead of Schedule

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. (knee) is well ahead of schedule in his rehab work, according to the team's general manager Mike Hazen.

Kutter Crawford Throws Off the Mound

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Kutter Crawford (wrist) has progressed to throwing off the mound. Crawford is reportedly a bit behind schedule, but is expected to be ready for the start of the regular season. He missed all of the 2025 campaign due to a wrist issue that required surgery. Crawford has been a viable […]

Jake McCarthy Gets Traded to Rockies

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Jake McCarthy was traded to the Colorado Rockies on Saturday. In exchange, the D-Backs will receive right-handed pitcher Josh Grosz from Colorado. On paper, this seems like an ideal landing spot for the speedy outfielder. He figures to get a chance to play regularly and should be a strong fit in the […]

Khris Middleton is Back on Friday

Washington Wizards forward Khris Middleton (knee) is ready to play ahead of Friday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Middleton sat out of Wednesday's game, which isn't shocking considering it was the second leg of a back-to-back set. The veteran forward is back in the starting five ahead of Friday's tip-off. This season, Middleton is […]

Kyshawn George Returning on Friday

Washington Wizards guard Kyshawn George (hip) is active and in the starting five ahead of Friday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. George is back after missing seven games due to a left hip flexor strain. There is no word on George being limited, so fantasy managers should expect him to be a full-go. Before […]
