Casey DeSmith Starting On Thursday

Dallas Stars goaltender Casey DeSmith will get the starting nod on Thursday evening against the Tampa Bay Lightning. DeSmith has been deployed as the clear No. 2 netminder in Dallas, as Jake Oettinger has seen the majority of starts. Since the start of February, DeSmith has appeared in just five contests. During this stretch, he […]


Sergei Bobrovsky Facing Columbus On Thursday

Florida Panthers goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky will get the starting nod on Thursday evening against the Columbus Blue Jackets. Bobrovsky allowed three goals on 15 shots during his last start and will look to bounce back this evening. Before that poor outing, Bobrovsky held a strong 4-1 record with a .949 save percentage and a 1.21 […]


Jeff Petry Traveling With The Team

Detroit Red Wings defenseman Jeff Petry (undisclosed) will travel with the team on their upcoming road trip. However, Petry is not expected to return to the lineup on Saturday against the Golden Knights but could return on Monday against the Utah Hockey Club. The 37-year-old has been sidelined since the first week of January. Through […]


Nick Jensen Not Playing On Thursday

Ottawa Senators defenseman Nick Jensen (lower body) will remain sidelined on Thursday evening against the Colorado Avalanche. Jensen has missed the previous two contests due to this injury. Jensen will look to return to action on Saturday when the Senators travel to New Jersey to face the Devils. While Jensen remains out this evening, fantasy […]


Erik Gustafsson Does Not Practice On Thursday

Detroit Red Wings defenseman Erik Gustafsson (undisclosed) was not able to practice on Thursday. Gustafsson suffered this injury during their contest on Tuesday evening and could be in danger of missing their next game on Saturday against the Vegas Golden Knights.

Alexander Romanov Not Expected To Play On Thursday

New York Islanders defenseman Alexander Romanov (illness) is still not feeling "100 percent" and will likely remain sidelined on Thursday evening when the Islanders face the Montreal Canadiens.

Hello, RotoBallers! Today, we will look at five catchers to either draft or avoid in fantasy baseball drafts based on their ADP and current market value. In this piece, we will analyze the current average draft position (ADP) and identify which catchers we should target or avoid at their current draft position. While fantasy players […]


Christian Cairo Returning To Cleveland

The Atlanta Braves returned Rule 5 selection Christian Cairo to the Cleveland Guardians. During spring training, Cairo posted a modest .179/.294/.250 slash line with two doubles. However, he was unable to earn a spot on the Opening Day roster and will continue his professional career with Cleveland. Fantasy managers should expect the Guardians to assign […]


Oscar Colas Optioned To Triple-A

The Chicago White Sox have optioned outfielder Oscar Colas to Triple-A Charlotte. The 26-year-old held a modest /250/.333/.375 line through 10 games at spring training. Colas will now have to work his way back to the big leagues from Triple-A. Last summer, Colas appeared in 13 MLB contests and posted a .273./368/.273 slash line. During […]


Craig Yoho Assigned To Minor-League Camp

Milwaukee Brewers right-handed pitching prospect Craig Yoho was re-assigned to minor-league camp. Yoho has enjoyed an impressive spring training as he has logged seven 1/3 innings to the tune of a 1.23 ERA and a stellar 0.68 WHIP. Yoho has tallied 12 punchouts and only served up three free passes. The Indiana product received his […]


Caleb Durbin Expected To Make Opening Day Roster

Milwaukee Brewers infield prospect Caleb Durbin is expected to make the Opening Day roster. Jack Stern of the Brewer Fanatic noted that with Andruw Monasterio being optioned to Triple-A, Durbin has a clear path to breaking camp with the major league team. Earlier in the offseason, the Brewers acquired Durbin alongside Nestor Cortes Jr. from […]


Top 10 Greatest Alabama Football Players Of All Time

In this ranking, we will analyze the top 10 greatest players in Alabama football history. We will look at career statistics, legacy, and impact during their time with the Crimson Tide.


Carson Williams Sent To Minor-League Camp

The Tampa Bay Rays have assigned infield prospect Carson Williams to minor-league camp. Williams was not in contention for a spot on the MLB roster but did perform well during camp.

Chandler Simpson Assigned To Minor-League Camp

The Tampa Bay Rays have assigned outfield prospect Chandler Simpson to minor league camp. Simpson was not competing for a roster spot during camp. During spring training, Simpson held a .240/.296/.240 line with three stolen bases. However, Simpson performed at an elite level in the minor leagues last season and could still push for a […]


Matt Boldy Strikes Twice In Victory

Minnesota Wild left wing Matt Boldy found the back of the net twice during their victory over the Seattle Kraken on Wednesday evening. Boldy would score his first goal in the opening frame during 5-on-5 play. Later in the contest, Boldy would score the empty-netter to put the game out of reach. This outing snapped […]


Filip Gustavsson Shuts The Door On Kraken On Wednesday

Minnesota Wild goalie Filip Gustavsson stopped all 34 shots he saw en route to defeating the Seattle Kraken on Wednesday evening. The Kraken held the advantage in the shot total, but Gustavsson was able to lead the way. This outing extended his winning streak to two games. During this stretch, Gustavsson has only allowed one […]


Auston Matthews Extends Goal Streak To Three Games

Toronto Maple Leafs center Auston Matthews scored in his third-straight contest on Wednesday evening against the Colorado Avalanche. Matthews would find the back of the net on the power play in the opening frame. Over his past three contests, Matthews has found the back of the net four times, including three times on the power […]


Joseph Woll Stands Tall Against Colorado

Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Joseph Woll stopped 38 of the 39 shots he saw en route to defeating the Colorado Avalanche on Wednesday evening. Woll's lone blemish came in the second frame when Colorado wing Valeri Nichushkin scored his 18th goal of the season on the power play. Woll would then stop all 11 shots […]


Chandler Stephenson Suffers Injury On Wednesday

Seattle Kraken center Chandler Stephenson (undisclosed) was unable to finish Wednesday's contest against the Minnesota Wild. Stephenson logged just over 11 minutes of ice time before exiting and did not participate during the third period. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status leading up to their next on Saturday against the Edmonton Oilers. Before […]


Marco Rossi Exits Early On Wednesday

Minnesota Wild center Marco Rossi (lower body) exited Wednesday's contest early. Rossi logged three minutes of ice time before exiting the contest. During this short stint, Rossi tallied one shot on goal with one hit. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status leading up to their next contest on Saturday against the Buffalo Sabres.

5 Fantasy Baseball Breakout Hitters and Pitchers - American League Edition

Fantasy baseball managers are always looking for the next breakout in their drafts. Normally fantasy baseball breakouts are relatively young and have just begun to scratch the surface of their professional careers. While some have flashed elite upside at the major league level, others have yet to make their MLB debut. More importantly, these players […]


Joey Estes Will Begin Season In Rotation

Athletics right-handed pitcher Joey Estes will begin the season in the starting rotation. Estes was competing alongside Mitch Spence for the final spot in the rotation. Estes has held a 4.63 ERA during camp with a 1.20 WHIP across 11 2/3 innings. He tallied eight punchouts and served up only one free pass. During the […]


Yordan Alvarez Starting On Wednesday

Houston Astros outfielder/designated hitter Yordan Alvarez (thumb) is returning to the starting lineup on Wednesday evening against the New York Mets. Alvarez was scratched from Tuesday's lineup due to this minor injury. However, as expected, Alvarez is set to return to action just 24 hours later. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status in […]


Tanner Bibee Starting On Opening Day

Cleveland Guardians right-handed pitcher Tanner Bibee will get the nod on Opening Day against the Kansas City Royals. Last season, Bibee logged a career-high 173 2/3 innings to the tune of a 3.47 ERA with a 1.12 WHIP. He tallied strikeouts at a strong 26.3 percent rate (74th percentile) and showed excellent control as he […]


Drey Jameson Sent To Triple-A

The Arizona Diamondbacks have optioned right-handed pitcher Drey Jameson to Triple-A Reno. Jameson was unable to pitch during the 2024 campaign after undergoing Tommy John surgery in September 2023. During the 2023 season, Jameson logged 40 2/3 innings to the tune of a 3.42 ERA with a 1.43 WHIP. He tallied 37 punchouts and held […]


Cade Cavalli Expected To Open The Season On The Injured List

Washington Nationals right-handed pitcher Cade Cavalli (elbow) is expected to open the season on the injured list.

Cavalli has not made his spring training debut and is expected to be on a strict workload limit during the start of the […]


Jordan Lawlar Optioned To Triple-A

The Arizona Diamondbacks have optioned infield prospect Jordan Lawlar to Triple-A Reno. Lawlar was competing for a spot on the Opening Day roster but will instead begin his 2025 campaign at the top level of the minor leagues. Last season, Lawlar missed time due to injuries and was unable to reach the majors. He appeared […]


Josh Manson Expected To Miss At Least Three Weeks

Colorado Avalanche defenseman Josh Manson (upper body) is expected to miss 3-4 weeks due to an upper-body injury. Manson sustained this injury during Friday's contest against the Calgary Flames. Manson already missed their previous game on Sunday and could be in danger of missing the remainder of the regular season. With Manson sidelined, Erik Johnson […]


Marcus Foligno Sitting On Wednesday

Minnesota Wild left wing Marcus Foligno (upper body) will remain sidelined on Wednesday evening when the Wild face the Seattle Kraken.

Jonas Brodin Not Playing On Wednesday

Minnesota Wild defenseman Jonas Brodin (lower body) will not suit up on Wednesday evening against the Seattle Kraken. Brodin has missed the previous eight contests due to this injury.
