Robinson Cano To Play First Base On Thursday

New York Mets infielder Robinson Cano is expected to play first base during Thursday's spring training matchup. Cano has only made 14 appearances at first base, which were all with the Seattle Mariners in 2018. Jeff McNeil should have the second base job locked up, so the Mets will look to increase Cano's versatility. The […]

Brandon Belt Could Return This Weekend

San Francisco Giants first baseman Brandon Belt (knee) was able to run the bases on Wednesday. The veteran infielder could return to the starting lineup this weekend. He has been dealing with lingering knee soreness, but manager Gabe Kapler expects Belt to be ready for Opening Day. Barring any setbacks, Belt could make his spring […]

Framber Valdez Gets Opening Day Start

Houston Astros starting pitcher Framber Valdez has earned the Opening Day start versus the Los Angeles Angels. He'll be followed by Jake Odorizzi and Justin Verlander who were both deserving of the start as well. The 28-year-old lefty posted a 3.14 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 125/58 K/BB ratio across 134 2/3 innings in 22 starts […]

Max Fried Earns Opening Day Nod

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Max Fried has earned the Opening Day start against the Cincinnati Reds. The 28-year-old lefty earned the nod over veteran starter Charlie Morton. To be fair, Fried was one of the best starting pitchers during the second half of last season. He finished with a 3.04 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, and 158/41 […]

Guillermo Heredia Avoids Serious Injury

Atlanta Braves outfielder Guillermo Heredia (hand) was able to avoid serious injury, according to manager Brian Snitker. He was pulled early during Wednesday's contest after getting struck in the hand by a pitch. Heredia will receive additional treatment, which could mean he ends up missing time. At this point, it's unclear whether or not Heredia […]

Hansel Robles To Report On Thursday

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Hansel Robles is set to report to the team on Thursday. He has been missing from camp due to a visa issue. It's uncertain if Robles will be ready in time for Opening Day. He'll likely need at least a week to ramp up his throwing program. Although, Robles should […]

CJ Abrams Could Make Opening Day Roster

San Diego Padres shortstop CJ Abrams has a solid chance of making the Opening Day roster. Eguy Rosario has been optioned to the minors, which leaves one roster spot available on the team. That spot is likely to go to a player that currently isn't on the 40-man roster. That means, one of the team's […]

Kyle Kuzma To Remain Out On Wednesday

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic. This marks the seventh game in a row that Kuzma has missed due to right knee tendinitis. The Wizards haven't ruled him out for the rest of the season, but it certainly seems like a strong possibility. Rui […]

Evan Fournier Upgraded To Questionable

New York Knicks guard Evan Fournier (personal) has been upgraded to questionable for Wednesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He was originally ruled out, but it sounds like there's a chance he does suit up. The Knicks could certainly use Fournier with Quentin Grimes (knee) already ruled out. Otherwise, Miles McBride could be looking at […]

Spencer Dinwiddie Ruled Out Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks guard Spencer Dinwiddie (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. This is the second night of a back-to-back set, so they will give Dinwiddie the night off to rest. The Mavericks are shorthanded on guards, so Frank Ntilikina (ankle) and Reggie Bullock could be looking at extended playing […]

Dennis Schroder, Eric Gordon Done For The Season

Houston Rockets guards Dennis Schroder (shoulder) and Eric Gordon (groin) have been ruled out for the rest of the season. They will join fellow teammate Christian Wood (hamstring) on the sideline for the last few games. This isn't a shocking move considering the Rockets are tied for the worst record in the game. They want […]

Danilo Gallinari Unavailable For Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks forward Danilo Gallinari (elbow) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. This is too shocking considering it's the front end of a back-to-back set. The Hawks have been cautious with Gallinari this season, but he could be out there on Thursday. De'Andre Hunter (knee) is a game-time decision, […]

Lonnie Walker IV Available On Wednesday

San Antonio Spurs guard Lonnie Walker IV (back) is available for Wednesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. He has missed each of the last four games due to lower back tightness. His return should mean less minutes for both Joshua Primo and Josh Richardson. Walker was playing well before the injury, but there could be […]

Jaren Jackson Jr. Questionable For Wednesday's Game

Memphis Grizzlies forward Jaren Jackson Jr. (thigh) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. He sat out their previous contest on Monday due to right thigh soreness. Kyle Anderson stepped in the starting five and finished with 13 points and five rebounds in 25 minutes. He could be a possible […]

Alperen Sengun Tagged As Questionable For Wednesday

Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun (leg) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. This doesn't come as a shock after Sengun was unable to finish Monday's game due to a left leg contusion. Christian Wood (hamstring) has already been ruled out for the rest of the regular season. That means, Usman […]

Jeremy Lamb Might Sit On Wednesday

Sacramento Kings forward Jeremy Lamb (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Houston Rockets. He was only able to play nine minutes during Monday's game due to hamstring soreness. It's uncertain if he's feeling well enough to give it a go on Wednesday. Otherwise, Donte DiVincenzo has the most to gain in […]

Trey Burke Unavailable On Tuesday

Dallas Mavericks guard Trey Burke has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He'll join teammate Sterling Brown in the league's health and safety protocols. Neither player has a huge impact on the rotation, but hopefully this won't spread to the rest of the team. Burke has been battling an illness […]

Dwight Howard Probable For Tuesday

Los Angeles Lakers center Dwight Howard (hip) has been tagged as probable for Tuesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. The Lakers are likely to be without two of their big three, so Howard should be asked to step up. He looked fantastic against the 76ers and nearly had a double-double in his last game. He'll […]

Alex Caruso Should Play Versus Wizards

Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (back) is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Washington Wizards. He is dealing with a lower back contusion, but was able to play through the issue on Saturday. Fantasy managers should expect Caruso out there and he'll likely have an increased role with Zach LaVine (knee) questionable right […]

Derrick Rose Unlikely To Return This Season

New York Knicks guard Derrick Rose (ankle) might not be able to get his conditioning right before the end of the season. He hasn't started taking contact and the veteran guard has been sidelined over three months. There have been reports of Rose ramping up his activities, but it doesn't sound like he's nearing a […]

Zach LaVine Uncertain Versus Wizards

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (knee) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Washington Wizards. The star guard has been dealing with a knee issue for quite some time. That being said, it wouldn't be shocking to see the Bulls decide to rest LaVine on Tuesday. Javonte Green would likely move into the […]

Al Horford Not Available On Monday

Boston Celtics center Al Horford (personal) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Toronto Raptors. This marks the second game in a row that Horford will miss due to personal reasons. The Celtics will also be without Robert Williams III (knee) and Jayson Tatum (rest) for Monday's game. That means, Grant Williams and […]

Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown Out On Monday

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (rest) and guard Jaylen Brown (rest) have been ruled out for Monday's game against the Toronto Raptors. This is the second night of a back-to-back set, so the Celtics will rest some of their starters. They've already lost Robert Williams III (knee) for the rest of the regular season. The […]

Draymond Green To Sit Out Monday

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green (rest) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. This doesn't come as a shock since the Warriors are also resting Otto Porter Jr. and Klay Thompson. The Warriors are preparing for their playoff run, so fantasy managers should expect more of this going forward. Jonathan […]

Robert Williams III To Miss Several Weeks

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (knee) was forced to exit early during Sunday's game. It has now been revealed that Williams suffered a torn meniscus in his left knee. That means, he'll miss multiple weeks and isn't expected to return in time for the conclusion of the regular season. The hope is that Williams […]

Lonnie Walker IV Not Available On Monday

San Antonio Spurs guard Lonnie Walker IV (back) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Houston Rockets. He will miss his fourth game in a row due to lower back tightness. Luckily, the Spurs will get Devin Vassell (Achilles) back on Monday, so he'll help fill the void. Also, Joshua Primo and Josh […]

Klay Thompson Won't Play On Monday

Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson (rest) won't be available for Monday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. This appears to be a scheduled off day in the second game of the back-to-back set. That being said, fantasy managers don't have to worry about any long term injuries with Thompson. Damion Lee or Gary Payton II […]

Paul George Goes Through 5-On-5 Practice

Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George (elbow) was able to go through 5-on-5 practice on Sunday. It sounds like the All-Star guard will do it again on Monday, according to head coach Ty Lue. There is a chance that George is able to play this week, but it depends on how he's feeling. Regardless, it […]

Devin Vassell Available On Monday

San Antonio Spurs forward Devin Vassell (Achilles) is available for Monday's game against the Houston Rockets. He sat out of Saturday's contest due to Achilles soreness, but will return here. Josh Richardson has been hot lately, but is expected to head to the second unit with Vassell healthy. Over the last three games, Vassell is […]

Diamondbacks Acquire Sergio Alcantara

The Arizona Diamondbacks have acquired infielder Sergio Alcantara from the Chicago Cubs in exchange for cash considerations. He was designated for assignment last week and could get more chances in Arizona. Nick Ahmed (shoulder) is currently sidelined, so Alcantara could begin the season as the starting shortstop. The 25-year-old hit .205/.303/.327 with five homers last […]
