Every NFL Team’s Greatest Running Back Season - All 32 Franchises

In this ranking, we will identify every NFL team’s greatest running back season of all time. We will look at several parameters to determine the representative for each team such as first-te...


Jorge Lopez, Jose Ferrer To See Save Opportunities

Washington Nationals relief pitchers Jorge Lopez and Jose A. Ferrer are likely to see most of the save opportunities at the start of the 2025 campaign. When asked who would close games, manager Dave Martinez mentioned both pitchers and that the team would "play matchups." With Lopez being a right-hander and Ferrer being a left-hander, […]


Mauricio Dubon To See Extended Time At Second Base

Houston Astros infielder Mauricio Dubon is expected to see more opportunities at second base when Jose Altuve moves to the outfield. During the start of spring training, Dubon has been deployed as the top option at the keystone while Altuve is working with the outfielders. While Altuve will likely still see most of his starts […]


Jared Spurgeon Battling Illness

Minnesota Wild defenseman Jared Spurgeon (illness) was unable to practice on Wednesday. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor Spurgeon's status leading up to their game on Saturday against the Detroit Red Wings. Spurgeon will have several days to return to practice before this contest. The 35-year-old has been a strong contributor to their offensive attack […]


Nico Hischier Targeting Saturday Return

New Jersey Devils center Nico Hischier (upper body) is hoping to return on Saturday to face the Dallas Stars. Hischier was able to practice on Tuesday and will continue to be monitored leading up to Saturday's contest. Hischier has been on the injured reserve and missed their previous six games. Before the injury, Hischier was […]


Thatcher Demko Deemed Week-To-Week

Vancouver Canucks goaltender Thatcher Demko (lower body) has been deemed week-to-week. The goaltender will not travel with the team on their upcoming road trip and will be reevaluated when the team returns following their contest on March 1 against the Seattle Kraken. The goaltender sustained this injury during their victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs […]


Kirill Marchenko Could Return On Saturday

Columbus Blue Jackets left wing Kirill Marchenko (jaw) will be evaluated prior to Saturday's contest against the Chicago Blackhawks. The 24-year-old has been sidelined since the start of February after undergoing jaw surgery and was ruled out indefinitely. However, it appears Marchenko could be nearing a return and may be available right after the international […]


Adam Lowry Set To Return On Saturday

Winnipeg Jets center Adam Lowry (upper body) is set to return to action on Saturday to face the St. Louis Blues. Lowry has been on the injured reserve and missed their previous eight contests. Prior to the injury, Lowry tallied four points over his last seven contests. During this stretch, he logged 11 hits, seven […]


Charlie McAvoy Develops Shoulder Infection

Boston Bruins defenseman Charlie McAvoy sustained a shoulder injury during the 4 Nations Face-Off. He was held out of action during their contest against Team Sweden on Monday evening. McAvoy suffered an AC joint injury in his shoulder. However, he then developed an infection in that shoulder. He underwent a debridement procedure and remains in […]


Brendan White Sharp To Start Camp

Detroit Tigers right-handed pitcher Brendan White has looked sharp early in spring training. Jason Beck of MLB.com noted that the 26-year-old looked "strong" and flashed his "high-spin arsenal." Last season, White was limited to just seven 1/3 innings due to an elbow injury. He underwent a hydro-dissection procedure Tuesday to address radial nerve-related symptoms in […]


Mason Thompson Placed On 60-Day Injured List

The Washington Nationals placed right-handed pitcher Mason Thompson (elbow) on the 60-day injured list. This transaction opened a roster spot for right-handed pitcher Lucas Sims, who the team signed earlier on Wednesday. Earlier in the offseason, manager Dave Martinez expressed optimism about the right-hander, but Thompson was unable to progress enough. As a result, fantasy […]


Hunter Stratton Expected To Start Running Progression

Pittsburgh Pirates right-handed pitcher Hunter Stratton (knee) is expected to begin a running progression soon. The 28-year-old has already begun throwing off the mound. Stratton is still recovering from the ruptured patella tendon in his left knee he suffered last August. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status in the coming weeks. If he […]


Miguel Rojas Participates In Live Batting Practice

Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Miguel Rojas (abdomen) took part in live batting practice on Wednesday. Rojas faced right-handed pitcher Roki Sasaki. The 35-year-old also participated in defensive drills during Wednesday's session. Rojas underwent sports hernia surgery during the offseason but is expected to be ready for Opening Day. Seeing him participate in live hitting drills […]


Ross Stripling Signs Minor-League Deal With Kansas City

Right-handed pitcher Ross Stripling signed a minor-league deal with the Kanas City Royals on Wednesday. This contract includes an invitation to spring training. Stripling spent the entire 2024 campaign with the Oakland Athletics, holding a poor 6.01 ERA and a 1.54 WHIP across 85 1/3 innings. He tallied strikeouts at a poor 12.9 percent rate […]


Jorge Lopez Faces Live Batters

Washington Nationals relief pitcher Jorge Lopez (groin) faced live batters during Monday's practice session. This is a great sign, as Lopez ended the 2024 campaign on the injured list with a right groin strain. Seeing him face live hitters early in practice suggests he is past this injury and is viewed as a full-go. Fantasy […]


Alexander Canario Could Contend For Spot On Opening Day Roster

Chicago Cubs outfielder Alexander Canario could contend for a spot on the Opening Day roster. Patrick Mooney of The Athletic noted that the 24-year-old is out of minor league options, which provides him with the most leverage he has had. In addition, reports in the offseason have suggested that Canario will see work at first […]

Every NFL Team's Greatest Defensive Player - All 32 Franchises

In this ranking, we will identify every NFL team’s greatest defensive player of all time. We will look at several parameters to determine the representative for each team, such as first-team...


Kevin Alcantara Could Be No. 2 Option In Center Field

Chicago Cubs outfield prospect Kevin Alcantara is expected to be the team's No. 2 option in center field to open the season. While former top prospect Pete Crow-Armstrong is slated to be the team's everyday center fielder, Alcantara could get the call if he struggles or suffers an injury. Alcantara is ranked as the No. […]


Drey Jameson Faces Live Hitters

Arizona Diamondbacks right-handed pitcher Drey Jameson (elbow) faced live hitters for the first time on Tuesday since undergoing Tommy John surgery. Jameson had the operation in September 2023 and is attempting to ramp up in time to make the Opening Day roster. Manager Torey Lovullo noted that his session was "electric." Jameson was able to […]


Corbin Burnes Starting In First Spring Game

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Corbin Burnes is expected to start the team's first spring training game on Friday against the Colorado Rockies. The right-hander is slated to pitch just one inning of work. Burnes was one of the top free agents in the open market and signed a massive six-year $210 million contract with the […]


Nick Yorke Could Shift To First Base

Pittsburgh Pirates second base prospect Nick Yorke could shift to first base to replace the injured Spencer Horwitz (hand). During the start of camp, Yorke has primarily seen work at second base, which is where he has spent most of his brief stint in the majors. However, in the minor leagues, Yorke saw time at […]


David Bednar Will Open The Season As Closer

Pittsburgh Pirates relief pitcher David Bednar is slated to be the team's primary closer to open the 2025 season. Despite having the worst season of his career in 2024, the Pirates still have faith in him, given his previous results. During the 2023 campaign, Bednar posted a strong 2.00 ERA and a 1.10 WHIP across […]


Trey Sweeney Makes "Minor" Swing Adjustments

Detroit Tigers shortstop Trey Sweeney made "minor" swing adjustments during the offseason. Jason Beck of MLB.com noted that the young infielder focused on timing, especially against fastballs. Sweeney expressed that he struggled against fastballs during his first look at the majors, which was a priority in the offseason. Sweeney made his big league debut with […]


Gleyber Torres Expected To Hit In The Top Half Of The Lineup

Detroit Tigers second baseman Gleyber Torres is expected to hit in the top half of the lineup and have a significant role in the offense. In addition, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reported that Torres has been the lone player taking reps at the keystone during the start of the week. Earlier in the offseason, […]


Donovan Solano Dealing With Visa Issues

Seattle Mariners first baseman Donovan Solano has not reported to camp due to visa issues. Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times said the team hopes Solano will report to camp by Friday. Earlier in the offseason, the Mariners signed the first baseman to a one-year contract worth $3.5 million. In addition, reports in the offseason […]


Luke Little Will Ramp Up Slowly During Spring Training

Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Luke Little (lat) is on a "slow ramp-up" during spring training. The 24-year-old sustained a strained lat in July, which eventually cut his 2024 campaign short. Given the time he missed, the team is opting to exercise caution with the hard-throwing southpaw. Given his slower ramp-up, fantasy managers should expect Little […]


Robert Garcia Completes Side Session

Texas Rangers relief pitcher Robert Garcia (forearm) completed a bullpen session on Tuesday. The 28-year-old has been dealing with forearm irritation during the early part of spring training and has been slightly behind the other pitchers. However, seeing him return to the mound earlier on Tuesday is a positive sign for his status. Fantasy managers […]


MJ Melendez Revamps Swing

Kansas City outfielder MJ Melendez revamped his swing during the offseason. Anne Rogers of MLB.com noted that the 26-year-old lowered his leg kick and adjusted his hands, making his stance more "balanced." Melendez decided to revamp his swing in hopes of tapping into his power more consistently. Throughout his three-year MLB career, Melendez has flashed […]


Sam Hentges Placed On 60-Day Injured List

Cleveland Guardians relief pitcher Sam Hentges (shoulder) was placed on the 60-day injured list. In a corresponding move, the team added right-handed pitcher Jakob Junis to the 40-man roster. The Guardians signed Junis to a one-year deal earlier in the week. Hentges underwent surgery to repair the capsule and labrum in his throwing shoulder in […]


Noah Schultz Making Cactus League Debut Next Week

Chicago White Sox starting pitching prospect Noah Schultz is expected to make his Cactus League debut on February 26 against the San Diego Padres. Schultz is considered the top prospect in the White Sox system on MLB Pipeline. The team closely monitored his workload last season, as he never pitched five innings in a start. […]
