Tom Murphy Starting On Saturday

Seattle Mariners catcher Tom Murphy will start and bat eighth on Saturday against Cleveland. Cal Raleigh was behind home plate the last two games and collected two hits and two RBI in eight at-bats. However, he won't be in the starting lineup for this one, although he'll presumably return on Sunday to cap off the […]

Gary Trent Jr. Questionable Versus Charlotte

Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. (back) is questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Hornets. The 24-year-old has missed five games because of back spasms, so he may not be 100% if he plays. However, if Trent isn't in the lineup, Will Barton (ankle), who is probable, may see more minutes. But considering Nick Nurse […]

Eric Gordon Questionable On Saturday

Los Angeles Clippers guard Eric Gordon (hip) is questionable for Saturday's meeting with the Pelicans. The 24-year-old exited Friday's matchup in Memphis because of hip tightness, so he is in danger of missing this one. If he doesn't play, Norman Powell, who scored a team-high 16 points versus the Grizzlies, could enter the starting lineup. […]

Kyle Lowry Remains Questionable

Miami Heat guard Kyle Lowry (knee) is questionable ahead of Saturday's matchup versus Dallas. The 37-year-old continues to be bothered by left knee soreness, and his production has suffered. He hasn't played more than 25 minutes since missing over a month because of the ailment and doesn't appear on track to be a consistent contributor […]

Bam Adebayo Won't Suit Up Versus Dallas

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (hip) won't play on Saturday against Dallas. The big man has a right hip contusion, so he'll sit this one out. As a result, Cody Zeller is on track to enter the starting lineup. However, he's a risky fantasy option, even if his DFS value is tempting. Omer Yurtseven could […]

Brett Wisely Optioned To Sacramento

The Giants optioned outfielder Brett Wisely to Triple-A Sacramento on Saturday. The 23-year-old made his MLB debut on Thursday versus the New York Yankees. However, he'll now take a trip to the minors, with outfielder Bryce Johnson moving to the active roster. Johnson appeared in 11 games last season, accumulating two hits and seven strikeouts […]

Joey Bart Won't Play On Saturday

San Francisco Giants catcher Joey Bart (back) won't play on Saturday against the Yankees. He's dealing with back tightness, so it's anyone's guess how long he'll be out. Roberto Perez, who had a hit in two at-bats on opening day, will remain behind the plate. However, his fantasy upside is limited, especially since he's batting […]

Mychal Givens To Throw Next Week

According to Baltimore Orioles manager Brandon Hyde, relief pitcher Mychal Givens (knee) will throw a bullpen session next week. The 32-year-old is dealing with left knee inflammation, although Hyde indicated the righty is moving in the right direction. Givens compiled a 4.79 ERA in 19 games last season while adding 20 strikeouts. That said, he's […]

Mitch Haniger To Be Re-Evaluated Next Weekend

According to manager Gabe Kapler, San Francisco Giants outfielder Mitch Haniger (oblique) will be re-evaluated next weekend. The veteran began the season on the 10-day injured list because of an oblique strain. However, Kapler hopes to have him back after "a week of games." Haniger signed a three-year, $43.5 million deal in the offseason after […]

Logan Webb Next Start Moved Up

San Francisco Giants pitcher Logan Webb will make his next start on Wednesday, the second of three meetings with the Chicago White Sox. Anthony DeSclafani will begin the series on the bump, with Alex Wood on track to close out the series on Thursday. Webb had 12 strikeouts in the opening day loss to the […]

Darrynton Evans Signs With The Colts

Free-agent running back Darrynton Evans inked a one-year deal with the Colts. Tennessee selected him in the third round of the 2020 NFL Draft. However, he hasn't done much since then, appearing in just 12 games for the Titans and Bears in the last three seasons and totaling 125 yards off 30 carries. Of course, […]

Rachaad White Projected To Be A Three-Down Back

According to Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles, running back Rachaad White is expected to be a "complete three-down back" this season. The 2022 third-round pick had a productive rookie campaign, amassing 481 yards off 129 attempts and 50 catches for 290 yards. He also totaled three touchdowns. Of course, ball security was a significant issue, […]

Rehab Going Well For Brock Purdy

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (elbow) reported rehab is "going as planned." The signal-caller had surgery on March 10 to repair a torn UCL suffered in the postseason. The plan remains for throwing to commence in three months. Of course, Purdy will clearly need to prove he's ready to move to that phase of […]

Juan Soto Not Focused On Contract Situation

San Diego Padres outfielder Juan Soto isn't focused on a new contract, according to general manager A.J. Preller. Instead, the multi-time All-Star prefers keeping his attention on the season. "With Juan, it's been more about the baseball side of things," Preller stated when asked about a potential Soto extension. San Diego has made some big […]

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 […]
