Jake Lamb Battling Tight Quadriceps

San Francisco Giants first baseman/outfielder Jake Lamb (quadriceps) is dealing with tightness in his left quad. The 34-year-old was lifted from Thursday's spring training contest. The team is expected to provide an update on his status on Friday. Earlier in the offseason, Lamb signed a minor-league contract with the Giants that included an invite to […]


Darnell Nurse Not Playing On Thursday

Edmonton Oilers defenseman Darnell Nurse (undisclosed) will not suit up on Thursday night to face the Florida Panthers. Head coach Kris Knoblauch noted that the defenseman is viewed as "day-to-day." The 30-year-old was absent during Thursday's morning skate and hopes to return to the starting lineup on Saturday to face the Carolina Hurricanes. Over his […]


Roman Josi Not Suiting Up On Thursday

Nashville Predators defenseman Roman Josi (upper body) will not suit up on Thursday evening against the Winnipeg Jets. Head coach Andrew Brunette noted that the star defenseman is viewed as "day-to-day." Josi suffered this injury during Tuesday's contest against the Florida Panthers. He was evaluated following the game and appears to have potentially avoided a […]


Matthew Tkachuk Not Playing On Thursday

Florida Panthers left wing Matthew Tkachuk (groin) will remain sidelined during Thursday's contest when the Panthers host the Oilers in a Stanley Cup rematch. Tkachuk has missed their previous two contests. Head coach Paul Maurice noted that the star winger is out "near-term." Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status leading up to their […]


Kirby Dach Ruled Out For Thursday

Montreal Canadiens center Kirby Dach (lower body) will not play against the San Jose Sharks on Thursday evening. Dach was also unable to play on Tuesday evening against the Carolina Hurricanes. The team is expected to provide an update on Dach's status on Friday. In his previous five contests, Dach tallied three points (all helpers), […]


Michael Bunting To Be Sidelined Indefinitely

Pittsburgh Penguins left wing Michael Bunting (abdomen) underwent surgery to remove his appendix and will be sidelined indefinitely. Fantasy managers should expect the 29-year-old to miss a significant amount of time and could even miss the remainder of the regular season. Over his previous 10 contests, Bunting has tallied just two points (both helpers) while […]


J.T. Miller Not Practicing On Thursday

New York Rangers center J.T. Miller (illness) did not participate in Thursday's practice session due to illness. Fantasy managers should continue to keep an eye on his status leading up to their next contest on Friday evening against the Toronto Maple Leafs. The 31-year-old has enjoyed a recent offensive surge, riding a three-game point streak. […]


Travis Bazzana Showing Power In First Taste Of Spring Training

Cleveland Guardians second base prospect Travis Bazzana has gone 1-for-3 with a three-run shot across his brief taste of spring training action. Bazzana has also drawn three walks and only struck out twice. Bazzana went deep on Tuesday afternoon against the Milwaukee Brewers. The Guardians selected Bazzana with the first overall selection in last year's […]


Robert Hassell III Swinging A Hot Bat

Washington Nationals outfield prospect Robert Hassell III has been swinging a hot bat to start spring training. Through four games, Hassell has gone 5-for-11 at the plate with two doubles and a home run. He has tallied five RBI, scored three runs, and swiped a bag. He has only struck out twice. Hassell was initially […]


Chandler Simpson Showing Speed In Grapefruit League

Tampa Bay Rays shortstop prospect Chandler Simpson has already begun to showcase his speed in the Grapefruit League. Through four games, the young infielder has swiped two bags and tallied four hits. Through 110 games in the minor leagues last season, Simpson swiped an incredible 104 bases. He opened the season at High-A, where he […]


Chase Dollander Could Make Opening Day Roster

Colorado Rockies pitching prospect Chase Dollander is a strong candidate to make the Opening Day roster. Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post expects the budding ace to earn a spot in the starting rotation out of camp. The former ninth selection in the 2023 MLB Draft was invited to spring training after enjoying a stellar […]


Daniel Espino Extends Throwing Distance

Cleveland Guardians pitching prospect Daniel Espino (shoulder) has increased his throwing distance to 120 feet. However, the team noted that Espino would not be able to return to game action until late in the 2025 season if he continues to progress at this rate. The 24-year-old underwent two shoulder operations over the past two years […]


George Valera Participates In Live Batting Practice

Cleveland Guardians outfield prospect George Valera (knee) participated in live batting practice earlier in the week. Valera is expected to begin defensive drills during the first week of March. The 24-year-old has been running and throwing for some time but finally returned to the batting cage. He is still recovering from knee surgery, which he […]


NFL Teams Ranked By Most Wins Since 2005: Top 20 Teams of the Last 20 Years

Let’s dive into the top 25 NFL teams with the most wins since 2005. Who are the most successful franchises over the last 20 years?


Davis Martin Opening Season In Starting Rotation

Chicago White Sox right-handed pitcher Davis Martin will open the season in the starting rotation. Martin spent most of his time in the rotation last season and will open the 2025 campaign in a similar role. Through his 10 starts last season, Martin held a 4.37 ERA with a 1.42 WHIP across 47 1/3 innings […]


Addison Barger Starting On Thursday

Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Addison Barger (hand) is in the starting lineup for Thursday's spring training contest. Barger is batting third and covering the hot corner. Barger was hit by a pitch during Sunday's contest, which kept him sidelined through most of the week. He underwent X-rays but was able to avoid a serious […]


Andrew Abbott Throws Side Session On Wednesday

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Andrew Abbott (shoulder) threw a successful side session on Wednesday. Abbott has been on a slower progression throughout camp due to a shoulder strain that cut his 2024 season short. In addition, the left-handed pitcher battled an illness last week, which slightly slowed down his recovery process. The team has still […]


Jordan Montgomery Set To Throw Another Bullpen On Friday

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Jordan Montgomery (finger) is expected to throw his next bullpen session on Friday. The southpaw completed a session on Tuesday and will look to continue his recovery process later in the week. If this session goes well, the 32-year-old could be cleared to face hitters sometime next week. Montgomery was diagnosed […]


Matt Gorski Could Make Opening Day Roster

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Matt Gorski is making a strong push to begin the season on the MLB roster. Throughout camp, Gorski has begun seeing time at first base with Spencer Horwitz (wrist) sidelined, improving his defensive versatility. The Pirates are lacking a depth outfielder, and Gorski could be given the edge due to his ability […]


Taj Bradley Working On New Pitch

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Taj Bradley unveiled a new pitch during Tuesday's spring training contest against the Philadelphia Phillies. Bradley's new pitch is a modification of his cutter that moves like a slider. Bradley noted that this pitch will look to limit hard contact. Last season, the right-hander showed flashes of potential times but […]


Quinn Hughes Tallies Game-Winning Helper In Return

Vancouver Canucks defenseman Quinn Hughes (oblique) tallied a game-winning primary assist in his return on Wednesday evening. Hughes has been sidelined over their previous six contests due to an oblique injury. However, the defenseman saw his typical workload as he logged over 21 minutes of ice time and over three minutes on the power play. […]


Conor Garland Leads Vancouver To Victory

Vancouver Canucks right wing Connor Garland tallied two goals, including the overtime winner, to power the Canucks over the Los Angeles Kings on Wednesday evening. Garland found the back of the net for the first time in the second frame on the power-play. Then, in overtime, Garland would score his 16th goal of the season […]


Martin Necas Tallies Three Helpers On Wednesday

Colorado Avalanche right wing Martin Necas tallied three helpers during their 5-1 victory over the New Jersey Devils on Wednesday evening. Necas tallied the primary assist on Artturi Lehkonen's opening game in the first period. Later in the third, Necas would add two helpers on the power-play, one as a primary assist and the other […]


Nathan MacKinnon Scores Twice In Victory

Colorado Avalanche center Nathan MacKinnon tallied three points during their 5-1 victory over the New Jersey Devils on Wednesday evening. MacKinnon tallied the secondary assist on Artturi Lehkonen's opening game in the first period. Then, in the third, MacKinnon would find the back of the net twice, both times on the power-play. He also tallied […]


Kyle Connor Scores Goal No. 31 On Wednesday

Winnipeg Jets left wing Kyle Connor tallied two points during their 4-1 victory over the Ottawa Senators on Wednesday evening. Connor found the back of the net for the 31st time this season in the second period. He beat Ottawa netminder Linus Ullmark on a wrist shot. Then, later in the final frame, Connor would […]


Connor Hellebuyck Sharp On Wednesday

Winnipeg Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck stopped 24 of the 25 shots he faced en route to defeating the Ottawa Senators on Wednesday evening. The Jets had a significant advantage in the shot total, but Hellebuyck was able to stand up when called on. His lone blemish came in the second frame when Thomas Chabot beat […]


Leo Rivas Battling Ankle Injury

Seattle Mariners infielder Leo Rivas (ankle) was seen limping during Tuesday's practice session and is viewed as a day-to-day. The team is optimistic the infielder will only miss a few days of practice. Rivas sustained this injury when doing infield drills. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status as he will likely compete for […]


Joey Loperfido Could Return On Friday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Joey Loperfido (neck/back) is expected to go through a full workout on Thursday and could return to the starting lineup on Friday. Loperfido avoided a serious injury on Tuesday when he collided into the center field wall. Loperfido did not have any concussion symptoms and is not expected to miss any […]


Robert Garcia Facing Hitters On Thursday

Texas Rangers left-handed pitcher Robert Garcia (forearm) is set to face live hitters on Thursday. The 28-year-old has been dealing with irritation in his left forearm and has been behind schedule during camp. Garcia has been throwing bullpen sessions and will now look to progress to the next step in his recovery process. If Garcia […]


Dedniel Nunez Not Expected To Pitch In Games "Anytime Soon"

New York Mets right-handed pitcher Dedniel Nunez (elbow) is not expected to pitch in spring training games "anytime soon." However, manager Carlos Mendoza noted that the team still believes Nunez could be ready in time for Opening Day. The 28-year-old dealt with a flexor strain during the second half of the 2024 campaign and is […]
