Jake Cronenworth, Padres Agree To Extension

San Diego Padres infielder Jake Cronenworth agreed to a seven-year, $80 million extension with the team. The deal starts in 2024 and will keep him in San Diego until the completion of the 2030 season. The 29-year-old has posted a .256/.337/.431 slash line in 366 career games with the Padres. His versatility allows him to […]

Tee Higgins Not Concerned About Contract Situation

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins continues to operate without a new contract, despite months of extension talks. The wideout doesn't seem concerned, though, as he discussed the situation on The Pat McAfee Show. "I'm not really worried about the contract," said Higgins. "Obviously, I want to get a deal done." The 24-year-old had a […]

Rhys Hoskins Undergoes Successful Knee Surgery

Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Rhys Hoskins (knee) underwent successful knee surgery on Thursday. While everyone already knew he was due to go under the knife, the team provided an update, reporting he's looking at a seven to nine-month recovery time. Unfortunately, that means the 30-year-old won't play this season, so assuming things move in the […]

Luis Urias Reportedly Heading To Injured List

Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Luis Urias (hamstring) is likely heading to the injured list, according to Adam McCalvy of MLB.com. The 25-year-old limped off the field late in Thursday's loss to the Chicago Cubs after going without a hit in four at-bats. While it isn't official, fantasy managers should begin planning for the inevitable. As […]

Joey Wiemer Reportedly Will Be Called Up

According to Adam McCalvy of MLB.com, the Brewers will call up outfielder Joey Wiemer from Triple-A Nashville. The prospect didn't play a game for Nashville this season after he was recently optioned by Milwaukee. However, with Luis Urias (hamstring) reportedly heading to the injured list, Brian Anderson is needed at the hot corner. Weimer finished […]

Anthony Rendon Being Investigated By MLB

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon is being investigated by Major League Baseball. A viral video from Thursday showed the 32-year-old grabbing a fan by the shirt while using obscenities. The 12-second video ends with Rendon swinging at the fan, although it didn't connect. Rendon went 0-for-3 with a walk on opening day. It's […]

Willson Contreras Receives Good News On Friday

St. Louis Cardinals catcher Willson Contreras (knee) is listed as day-to-day. The 30-year-old took a 103 mph pitch to his knee during Thursday's loss to the Blue Jays on opening day, forcing his premature exit from the contest. He had X-rays on Thursday, but fortunately, more testing on Friday confirmed he suffered a right knee […]

Zach Collins Out Against Golden State

San Antonio Spurs center Zach Collins (foot) won't play on Friday against the Warriors. The Spurs season is finished, so the 25-year-old will get a night off to rest his nagging left foot injury. As a result, Sandro Mamukelashvili will likely enter the starting lineup. He's averaged 13.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 1.0 steals in […]

De'Andre Hunter Out With A Knee Injury On Friday

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (knee) won't play against the Nets. The 25-year-old is dealing with left knee swelling, so he'll sit this one out. As a result, Saddiq Bey will likely take Hunter's spot in the lineup. While Bey should see an uptick in production, Trae Young and Dejounte Murray make it difficult for […]

Obi Toppin Will Start Against The Cavs

New York Knicks forward Obi Toppin will start on Friday night in Cleveland. Julius Randle (ankle) is out for a few weeks, so a void at the four needs to be filled. Toppin has averaged only 6.3 points and 2.8 rebounds in 2022-23, although he'll likely surpass those numbers. However, he's a risky DFS option, […]

Jarrett Allen Downgraded To Out On Friday

Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen (groin) won't play on Friday versus the visiting Knicks. He didn't suit up on Tuesday against Atlanta, and there's a chance he will miss a few more games moving into the postseason. Evan Mobley will slide over to the middle, with Caris LeVert moving into the starting lineup. LeVert has […]

Justin Wilson Goes On 15-Day Injured List

Milwaukee Brewers reliever Justin Wilson (elbow) was placed on the 15-day injured list on Wednesday. No surprise here, as the lefty is still not 100% after undergoing Tommy John surgery in June 2022. Wilson, who signed a one-year, $2.5 million contract in February, appeared in five games with the Reds last season, posting an 0-1 […]

Dylan Moore Lands On 10-Day Injured List

Seattle Mariners outfielder Dylan Moore (oblique) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday. This move isn't a surprise, considering he was expected to miss up to four weeks because of an oblique strain. The 30-year-old appeared in 104 games in 2022, ending the season with a miserable .224 average in 205 at-bats. That […]

Andre Jackson Lands Bullpen Spot

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Andre Jackson has made the opening day roster, according to manager Dave Roberts. The 26-year-old appeared in four big league games last season, posting a 1.86 ERA and striking out nine batters in just over nine innings. He put up similar numbers this Spring, so it appears he'll at least […]

Shelby Miller Makes Opening Day Roster

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Shelby Miller has made the opening day roster, according to skipper Dave Roberts. The 32-year-old has had some productive outings throughout his career. However, he's coming off a miserable 2022 campaign, where he posted a hideous 6.43 ERA in four big league appearances. That said, he did enough this Spring […]

Trevor Stephan Agrees To Four-Year Extension

The Guardians and relief pitcher Trevor Stephan agreed to a four-year extension on Wednesday. The financial details aren't public, although the deal includes two club options. The 27-year-old played in 66 games in 2022, amassing a 6-5 record with a 2.69 ERA, 82 strikeouts, and three saves (63 2/3 innings). Stephan has improved since entering […]

Jalen Brunson Still Dealing With Hand Issue

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (hand) is questionable for Wednesday's contest against the Miami Heat. The 26-year-old has missed the last two games because of a sprained right hand. Fortunately, the Knicks are in a comfortable spot heading into the postseason, so Brunson may be sidelined again. If that's the case, Immanuel Quickley, who […]

James Harden Questionable Again On Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden (Achilles) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup with Dallas. The 33-year-old appeared to be in line to return on Monday in Denver after a three-game absence. However, he didn't play. Joel Embiid (calf) also didn't suit up for that one, allowing Tyrese Maxey to finish with a game-high 29 points. If […]

Joel Embiid On The Injury Report For Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (calf) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup against Dallas. The big man missed Monday's meeting with Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets because of calf tightness, an issue he's been dealing with lately. Considering Philadelphia is looking toward a deep playoff run, Embiid may get another night off. If that's the […]

Khris Middleton Questionable Versus Indiana

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (knee) is questionable ahead of Wednesday's matchup with the Indiana Pacers. The Bucks are in postseason mode, so keeping Middleton off the floor against one of the worst teams in the NBA could be the plan. If that's the case, Pat Connaughton, who has averaged 9.5 points, 5.8 rebounds, and […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Expected Back On Wednesday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is expected to play on Wednesday against Indiana. Knee soreness has been a thing for the former MVP in the last few years, so fantasy managers weren't alarmed when he didn't suit up on Monday in Detroit. As a result, Bobby Portis got the start and finished with 21 […]

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Questionable Versus Charlotte

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Charlotte. OKC is scratching and clawing to remain in the postseason conversation. However, if anyone had to pick a game to miss, this would be the one, considering Charlotte is easily one of the worst teams in the NBA. That said, if […]

Ja Morant Doubtful Versus Orlando

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (thigh) is doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Orlando Magic. The Grizzlies are regrouping for a deep postseason run, so getting Morant to 100% is the top priority. As usual, Tyus Jones will roll with the first five. The 26-year-old has averaged 17.1 points, 8.0 assists, and 1.7 steals in […]

Terry Rozier Out Again On Tuesday Evening

Charlotte Hornets guard Terry Rozier (foot) won't play on Tuesday in OKC. Rozier will now miss his third consecutive game because of a sore foot. Considering Charlotte's season is unofficially over, fantasy managers may not see him back until the 2023-24 campaign. Nevertheless, it will be business as usual on Tuesday night, with Dennis Smith […]

Gordon Hayward Unlikely To Play Against OKC

Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward (thumb) isn't expected to play in Tuesday's game against OKC. This isn't good news for Charlotte, especially considering Terry Rozier (foot) is out and Kelly Oubre Jr. (shoulder) is questionable. Assuming the sprained thumb keeps Hayward out of the lineup, Oubre would benefit on the scoring end. However, if he doesn't […]

Daniel Gafford Dealing With A Sore Foot

Washington Wizards center Daniel Gafford (foot) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Celtics. Gafford logged 29 minutes in Sunday's loss to the Raptors, finishing with 10 points, eight boards, and one block. However, he's in danger of missing this one because of a sore left foot. If the 24-year-old is ruled out, Kristaps Porzingis […]

Monte Morris Uncertain For Tuesday Night

Washington Wizards guard Monte Morris (groin) is questionable ahead of Tuesday's meeting with Boston. He didn't play in Toronto on Sunday because of a sore groin, so Delon Wright took his place in the rotation. The 30-year-old finished that one with only five points. However, he added eight assists, seven rebounds, and two steals. If […]

Kyle Kuzma Remains Out Versus Boston

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (ankle) won't play on Tuesday against Boston, marking his fifth consecutive absence. The Wizards have some tough matchups on the horizon, so making the postseason may not be in the cards for Washington. As a result, fantasy managers may not see Kuzma on the floor for the remainder of the […]

Bradley Beal Sidelined Again On Tuesday

Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal (knee) won't play on Tuesday versus the visiting Celtics. Washington's playoff hopes are fading, so it's certainly possible we've already seen the last of Beal this season. With Kyle Kuzma (ankle) sidelined as well, Kristaps Porzingis will be the primary scoring option against Boston. At the same time, Deni Avdija […]

Kawhi Leonard Probable On Monday Evening

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (face) is expected to play against the Bulls. The 31-year-old took an accidental hit to the face in Saturday's meeting with the New Orleans Pelicans, ending his night after 27 minutes. Nonetheless, if Leonard can't give it a go, Russell Westbrook will see a surge in fantasy popularity. At […]
