Zac Veen Day-to-Day With Knee Injury

MLB.com reports that Colorado Rockies outfield prospect Zac Veen (knee) is day-to-day with a right-knee contusion that he injured while sliding to make a catch in the outfield during a spring training game on March 9. Veen hasn't played since, putting his status in question for Opening Day on Thursday. Before his injury, the 24-year-old […]


Angels Place Kirby Yates on 15-Day Injured List

The Los Angeles Angels placed right-handed reliever Kirby Yates (knee) on the 15-day injured list on Tuesday with left-knee inflammation, retroactive to March 22, according to the team. In addition to Yates, the Angels also placed right-handed reliever Ben Joyce (shoulder) on the 15-day IL and right-hander Robert Stephenson (elbow) on the 60-day IL, leaving […]


Harrison Bader Returns to Tuesday's Lineup

San Francisco Giants outfielder Harrison Bader (hamstring) is back in center field and will bat in the two-hole for Tuesday's exhibition game against the Sultanes de Monterrey, according to Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle. It's the first time that Bader will play in a game this spring since last Friday due to left-hamstring […]


Joe Flacco Reaches Agreement to Return to Bengals

Veteran quarterback Joe Flacco reached an agreement on a one-year, $6 million deal on Tuesday to re-sign with the Cincinnati Bengals, his agents told Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. Flacco will return to Cincy for a 19th NFL season after spending time with both the Bengals and Cleveland Browns in 2025. The 41-year-old veteran began the […]


Marvin Mims Jr. Now a Trade Candidate in Denver?

There is a new pecking order among Denver Broncos wide receivers after the team acquired Jaylen Waddle from the Miami Dolphins last week for three draft picks. Waddle could end up being the Broncos' WR1, ahead of Courtland Sutton, and his presence will definitely make playing time and targets hard to come by for Marvin […]


Nasim Nunez Locked in as Nationals Second Baseman

With Luis Garcia Jr. moving to first base full-time in 2026, Washington Nationals infielder Nasim Nunez is locked in as the team's starting second baseman to begin the year, according to MLB.com's Jessica Camerato and Paige Leckie. Nunez is a former Rule 5 draft pick who has never seen consistent playing time. The 25-year-old former […]


Rockies Send Seth Halvorsen to Triple-A

Colorado Rockies manager Warren Schaeffer confirmed on Tuesday that the team optioned right-handed reliever Seth Halvorsen to Triple-A Albuquerque, according to Kevin Henry of The Denver Gazette. The move means that right-hander Victor Vodnik will most likely open the 2026 season as the favorite for saves in the Rockies' bullpen. Halvorsen led Colorado in 2025 […]


Marlins Sign Austin Slater to Big-League Deal

The Miami Marlins, who are dealing with a rash of injuries to their outfielders, are signing free-agent outfielder Austin Slater to an undisclosed one-year big-league deal on Tuesday, according to Craig Mish of Sports Grid. Slater became a free agent last week after opting out of his deal with the Detroit Tigers. The 33-year-old veteran […]


Francisco Lindor Likely to be Ready for Opening Day

MLB.com reports that New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor (hand), who is recovering from a stress reaction in his left hamate bone, is likely to be ready for Opening Day on Thursday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Lindor made his Grapefruit League debut in spring training on March 15, which was 4 1/2 weeks after he […]


Gerrit Cole Goes 1 2/3 Innings in Second Spring Start

New York Yankees right-hander Gerrit Cole (elbow) threw 17 of his 26 pitches for strikes in 1 2/3 innings on Tuesday in his second outing of spring training, according to Bob Nightengale of USA Today Sports. Cole threw a scoreless frame in his spring debut last week against the Boston Red Sox as he makes […]


Nick Lodolo Plays Light Catch, Status for Opening Day Still TBD

Cincinnati Reds left-hander Nick Lodolo (finger) played light catch in camp on Tuesday for "maybe 15-20 throws," according to Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer. Lodolo said he doesn't know what the plan will be going into Opening Day on Thursday, and that the team is "working on it." He said the blister issue on […]


Luis Garcia Jr. Cements Himself as Nationals First Baseman

MLB.com's Jessica Camerato and Paige Leckie write that Washington Nationals infielder Luis Garcia Jr. "all but cemented" himself as the team's starting first baseman this spring, even though he hit just .128 (5-for-39) with a homer, three RBI, one steal, one walk, and nine strikeouts in 14 Grapefruit League games. The 25-year-old left-handed hitter will […]


Tyler Freeman to Start the Year on the Injured List

Colorado Rockies outfielder/first baseman Tyler Freeman (back) will start the 2026 regular season on the 10-day injured list due to lower-back inflammation, according to Kevin Henry of The Denver Gazette. Freeman dealt with back issues this spring, and the setback he had last week means he won't be ready for Opening Day this week. The […]


Jace Jung Optioned to Triple-A

The Detroit Tigers optioned infield prospect Jace Jung to Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday, according to the Detroit Free Press' Evan Petzold. For now, Jung will operate as third base depth for the Tigers in the minors. The 25-year-old former 12th overall pick in 2022 out of Texas Tech has played in 55 total big-league games […]


Wenceel Perez Starting at Triple-A

Detroit Tigers outfielder Wenceel Perez will open the 2026 season at Triple-A Toledo, according to Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press. Perez is the odd man out for the Opening Day roster after infield prospect Kevin McGonigle made the team out of spring training. With the 26-year-old starting the season on the farm, fantasy […]


Ketel Marte Scratched With Soreness, "No Concern" for Opening Day

Arizona Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said that second baseman Ketel Marte was scratched from Tuesday's exhibition game against the Cleveland Guardians due to soreness, according to Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports. There is "no concern" about Marte's status for Opening Day on Thursday. Ildemaro Vargas is starting at the keystone on Tuesday against Cleveland with […]


Odell Beckham Jr. Plans to Play in 2026

Free-agent wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. has received renewed interest from NFL teams after his showing at Tom Brady's Fanatics flag football game, and he "fully intends to play" in 2026, sources told Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports. Beckham was "one of the most impressive players on the field" during the flag football game. The […]


RJ Harvey Ready for a Year 2 Jump?

Most fantasy managers were not thrilled about Denver Broncos running back RJ Harvey's fantasy value going into 2026 when the Broncos re-signed J.K. Dobbins. But Harvey will continue to factor into Denver's offense, and the coaching staff thinks he's "ready for a Year 2 jump," according to Nick Kosmider of The Athletic. Harvey wasn't exactly […]


Buccaneers Expected to Discuss Extension With Baker Mayfield This Offseason

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are expected to discuss a contract extension with quarterback Baker Mayfield this offseason, league sources told Jeff Howe of The Athletic. Mayfield's three-year, $100 million deal expires in March of 2027. Howe adds that Mayfield's next contract won't necessarily be team-friendly after he has proven his worth as the team's franchise […]


Luis Gil to Begin the Year in the Minors

New York Yankees right-hander Luis Gil will start the 2026 campaign in the minors to stay built up until the team needs a fifth starter, according to Greg Joyce of the New York Post. Despite Gerrit Cole (elbow) and Carlos Rodon (elbow) not being ready for the start of the regular season, the 27-year-old Gil […]


Falcons to Sign Brian Robinson Jr.

The Atlanta Falcons are expected to sign former San Francisco 49ers running back Brian Robinson Jr. to an undisclosed deal, sources told Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports. Robinson has over 2,700 rushing yards, 612 receiving yards, and 22 total touchdowns in his four NFL seasons with the 49ers and Washington Commanders. The 27-year-old former third-round […]


Joey Bosa a Good Fit for the 49ers?

The Athletic's Matt Barrows believes that "there's a good argument" for the San Francisco 49ers to sign free-agent defensive end Joey Bosa. At this point in his career and given his lengthy injury history, the 49ers wouldn't be able to count on Bosa being an every-down defensive end, but with a pass-rush win rate over […]


Lavonte David Hanging Up his Cleats

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers announced on Tuesday that outside linebacker Lavonte David is retiring from professional football after 14 years in the NFL. David said earlier this offseason that he would either re-sign with the Buccaneers for a 15th season or retire. The 36-year-old veteran will finish an illustrious career that featured 1,716 tackles (1,172 […]


Maxx Crosby Dealing With Degenerative Knee Condition?

The Baltimore Ravens backed out of a potential trade for Las Vegas Raiders All-Pro pass-rusher Maxx Crosby (knee) earlier this month due to concerns that he had a degenerative issue in his knee, according to Ryan McFadden of ESPN. Crosby was more than a month removed from surgery to fix a torn meniscus in his […]


Matt McLain Returns to Tuesday's Action

Cincinnati Reds second baseman Matt McLain (illness) is back at second base and is batting second in the team's exhibition game on Tuesday against the Milwaukee Brewers, according to Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer. McLain caught a bug going around the team's clubhouse and was held out of Monday's exhibition game. The 26-year-old former […]


Daylen Lile Projected to Start in Right Field for Nationals

MLB.com's Jessica Camerato and Paige Leckie have Washington Nationals outfielder Daylen Lile starting in right field for the team going into the 2026 regular season this week. Lile will get the nod next to left fielder James Wood and center fielder Jacob Young after the team surprisingly optioned Dylan Crews to Triple-A Rochester at the […]


Keibert Ruiz Projected to be Nationals Starting Catcher

Washington Nationals catcher Keibert Ruiz is projected to be the team's primary catcher entering the 2026 regular season, according to Jessica Camerato and Paige Leckie of MLB.com. This was the expectation after the Nats optioned prospect Harry Ford to Triple-A Rochester to get him more consistent reps to begin the season. The team's No. 3 […]


Reynaldo Lopez's Mechanical Tweak Leads to More Velocity

Atlanta Braves right-hander Reynaldo Lopez made some mechanical tweaks and showed improved velocity during his bullpen session in camp on Tuesday, according to Ken Sugiura of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Lopez was last seen averaging 89 mph on his fastball in his final Grapefruit League appearance. The 32-year-old veteran averaged 95 mph on his heater when […]


Roki Sasaki to Stick in Rotation Despite Spring Struggles

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that right-hander Roki Sasaki will remain in the starting rotation to begin the 2026 season despite his struggles on the mound this spring, according to Katie Woo of The Athletic. Sasaki had an ugly outing on Monday against the Los Angeles Angels, surrendering five runs on six walks […]


Kevin McGonigle Makes Tigers Opening Day Roster

The Detroit Tigers announced on Tuesday that shortstop prospect Kevin McGonigle has made the Opening Day roster. Not only has McGonigle won an Opening Day roster spot, but he's expected to open the 2026 campaign as the team's starting shortstop after hitting .250 (10-for-40) with two home runs, two doubles, a triple, six RBI, eight […]
