Jhonny Pereda Designated for Assignment

Minnesota Twins catcher Jhonny Pereda has been designated for assignment by the organization on Friday. Pereda was the odd man out after the Twins signed catcher Victor Caratini this week. They needed to make room on the 40-man roster, so Pereda will be placed on waivers. Last season, Pereda slashed .246/.325/.333 with four RBI across […]

Gunnar Henderson is Fully Healthy Heading into Spring Training

Baltimore Orioles shortstop Gunnar Henderson (shoulder) wasn't 100 percent healthy during the 2025 campaign.

His slash line took a hit; most notably, his OPS went from […]

Aaron Gordon Holds Probable Tag for Friday

Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (hamstring) is currently considered probable for Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks.

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (hip, illness) has been upgraded to available ahead of Friday's game against the Houston Rockets.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Aaron Wiggins (groin) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers.

Patrick Williams is Cleared to Play on Thursday

Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (ankle) is available ahead of Thursday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Daniel Gafford Won't Suit Up on Thursday

Dallas Mavericks center Daniel Gafford (ankle) is ruled out ahead of Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors.

Miami Heat guard Davion Mitchell (shoulder) has been downgraded to doubtful ahead of Thursday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Mitchell was tagged as questionable earlier in the day due to a left shoulder bruise. He has now been downgraded to doubtful, so fantasy managers should prepare to be without Mitchell.

Norman Powell is Downgraded to Questionable

Miami Heat guard Norman Powell (back) has been downgraded from probable to questionable ahead of Thursday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Powell was a late addition to the injury report due to lower back tightness. It seems like the team is going to wait and see how he feels during warmups before making a […]

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (hip) does not carry an injury designation into Tuesday's game against the Utah Jazz.
