Jose Berrios Looks Sharp In Spring Debut

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Jose Berrios looked sharp in his Grapefruit League debut against the Red Sox on Wednesday. Berrios pitched two scoreless innings, allowing one hit and no walks while striking out three batters on a total of 26 pitches. The Puerto-Rican right-hander had a good mix of pitches between his fastball, curveball, sinker, […]

Derrick Rose Could Return Thursday

New York Knicks guard Derrick Rose could return to the lineup for Thursday's game against the Pistons. Rose missed Tuesday's game against San Antonio because his COVID-19 test was inconclusive, though multiple tests have since come back negative. The veteran guard has been cleared to fly back to New York and could be back on the […]

Buddy Hield Questionable Against Lakers

Sacramento Kings guard Buddy Hield (ankle) is questionable to play against the Lakers on Wednesday night. Hield suffered the ankle injury late in Sunday's game against the Hornets and was held out of Tuesday's practice. The veteran guard insisted that he'll be ready for the game against the Lakers, with head coach Luke Walton noting […]

Jeff Green, Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot Ruled Out Wednesday

Brooklyn Nets forward Jeff Green (shoulder) and guard Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot (knee) have been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup against the Rockets. Both Green and Luwawu-Cabarrot were doubtful after missing the last game, so it doesn't come as much of a surprise to see them ruled out. Bruce Brown, Tyler Johnson, and Landry Shamet should continue […]

Kelly Oubre Jr. Listed As Questionable Wednesday

Golden State Warriors forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (wrist) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers. Oubre is dealing with a left wrist sprain, which could make shooting difficult for the 25-year-old. He's appeared in all 35 games for the Warriors before this- but the team may opt to sit him out […]

Luka Doncic Downgraded To Doubtful Against Thunder

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (back) has been downgraded to doubtful for Wednesday's contest with the Thunder. Doncic has missed only one game this season, so the team is likely preaching caution here with the All-Star break coming up, which he is still reportedly set to participate in. If Doncic is indeed out, Jalen Brunson […]

Domantas Sabonis Questionable With Sore Ankle

Indiana Pacers forward Domantas Sabonis (ankle) is considered questionable for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers. Sabonis is dealing with a sore left ankle- and the team could opt to rest him for the first half of the back-to-back with the All-Star break right around the corner. The Pacers could be without three members of their […]

Clint Capela Questionable, Bogdan Bogdanovic Available To Play

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (foot) is considered questionable for Wednesday's game against the Magic, while guard Bogdan Bogdanovic has been removed from the injury report. Capela was added to the injury report fairly recently, so it's likely something that bothered him during Tuesday's game, making him genuinely a toss-up for Wednesday. Bogdanovic appears set […]

Gordon Hayward Upgraded To Probable Against Timberwolves

Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward (hand) has been upgraded to probable on Wednesday against the Timberwolves. Hayward himself said he plans to play- and that the injury was basically an aggravation of the injury he suffered in the preseason. He noticeably struggled with his shot in two games last week- before the team ultimately opted […]

LeBron James To Sit Out Wednesday's Game

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (rest) will sit out Wednesday's game against the Kings. James has played 35-plus minutes in two of his last three games- and has taken up a workload on both ends of the floor in the absence of Anthony Davis (calf) that is reminiscent of his days in Cleveland and […]

Twins Showing Interest In Danny Santana

Free-agent infielder/outfielder Danny Santana is drawing interest from the Minnesota Twins. It's unclear what kind of deal Santana would be seeking, though the Twins are reportedly only interested in minor league deals at this point, per Dan Hayes of the Athletic. The 30-year-old struggled with an elbow injury in the shortened 2020 season but is […]

Cubs Sign Eric Sogard To Minor League Deal

Free-agent utility man Eric Sogard has signed a one-year deal with the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday. Sogard was linked to a few teams, including the Twins, but he'll sign on with the Cubs as a non-roster invitee after the Brewers declined his $4.5 million option for 2021. The 34-year-old had a down year last season after […]

Yordan Alvarez Taking Batting Practice Swings

Houston Astros designated hitter Yordan Alvarez (knees) took some batting practice swings off of a pitching machine on Wednesday. The Astros are understandably taking things easy with Alvarez, who had a lost 2020 season due to knee injuries. It's unlikely that the 23-year-old slugger will play the outfield, though that suits fantasy managers just fine if […]

Nelson Cruz In Lineup Wednesday For First Spring Action

Minnesota Twins designated hitter Nelson Cruz is in the lineup Wednesday for his Grapefruit League debut against the Red Sox. Manager Rocco Baldelli said that the team would ease their 40-year-old slugger into the action, much the same way they would with third baseman Josh Donaldson. Cruz has hit above .300 in each of the […]

Juan Soto To Make Spring Debut Wednesday

Washington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto (foot) will be in the lineup for his spring debut against the Marlins on Wednesday. Soto sat out the team's exhibition opener on Monday after fouling a ball off his right foot, though it turned out to be just a precautionary measure. The 22-year-old put up monster numbers in the […]

Jon Lester To Have Minor Surgery

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Jon Lester is having minor surgery to remove his thyroid gland. The Nationals reportedly were aware of this but decided to take care of it during the spring- though manager Davey Martinez believes that Lester could be back pitching in a week. The 37-year-old left-hander signed a one-year deal with Washington […]

Michael Fulmer Slated To Start Saturday

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Michael Fulmer is expected to make his spring debut on Saturday against the Orioles. Fulmer left the team's campsite on Friday to be with his wife for the birth of their child- and he'll have to pass through the team's intake screening and COVID protocols before he can return. The 2016 […]

Sixto Sanchez Building Up To Game Action

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Sixto Sanchez is being eased into game action this spring. Sanchez threw a bullpen session on Wednesday, though the team wants to have him throw a couple of live sessions before he takes the mound for any Grapefruit League action- per MLB.com's Christina De Nicola. Sanchez is coming off a promising […]

Devin Booker Swipes Season-High Three Steals In Win Over Lakers

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker stepped up on the defensive end in Tuesday's victory over the Lakers. Booker scored 17 points with six assists, three rebounds, three steals, and a triple in just 24 minutes. It was his lowest scoring output in nearly a month, though it wasn't for lack of effort- and the steals […]

Dario Saric Scores Season-High 21 Points

Phoenix Suns forward Dario Saric scored a season-high 21 points in 26 minutes of Tuesday's 114-104 win over the Lakers. Saric was listed as questionable for the contest after apparently tweaking his ankle sprain on Sunday, though he looked good out there, adding five rebounds, three assists, two triples, and a steal. The veteran forward […]

LeBron James Fills Up The Box Score In Loss To Suns

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James cooked up yet another juicy fantasy line for his managers in Tuesday's loss to Phoenix. James dropped 38 points with six assists, five rebounds, three treys, two steals, and a block in 38 minutes. The points were his second-highest total of the season, though the most impressive part of […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Produces Full Line In Losing Effort

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo delivered another full line to his fantasy managers in a loss to the Nuggets. Antetokounmpo compiled 27 points, eight boards, three assists, two blocks, and a steal in 33 minutes. Despite not making a three-pointer on three attempts, the star forward continues to be efficient from both the field and […]

Jamal Murray Scores Efficient 24 Points In Tuesday's Victory

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray kept up his recent stretch of excellent play in Tuesday's win over Milwaukee. Murray dropped 24 points on 10 of 17 shooting from the field- his fourth straight game shooting at least 50 percent- adding six assists, three boards, two steals, and a triple in 38 minutes. Congratulations if you […]

Nikola Jokic Posts Monster Triple-Double In Win Over Bucks

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic delivered a 30-point triple-double in a huge win over the Bucks on Tuesday night. Jokic scored 37 points with 11 assists, 10 rebounds, two triples, and two steals in 36 minutes of the 128-97 win. The MVP candidate became just the ninth player- and the first center since Wilt Chamberlain- […]

Kemba Walker Drains Six Threes In Win Over Clippers

Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker kept up his red-hot shooting from beyond the arc in Tuesday's win over the Clippers. Walker went 6-for-12 from beyond the arc for 18 of his team-high 25 points, adding six dimes and four rebounds in 34 minutes of action. The veteran guard looked healthy and energetic out there, as […]

Reggie Jackson Goes Off For Season-High 25 Points, Five Threes

Los Angeles Clippers guard Reggie Jackson went off for a season-high 25 points and five threes in a 117-112 loss to the Celtics on Tuesday. With Kawhi Leonard ruled out late because of back spasms, Jackson earned the start and played 37 minutes- tied for his second-highest total of the season- rounding out his line […]

Paul George Bounces Back In Loss

Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George saw increased usage in the absence of Kawhi Leonard (back) on Tuesday. George dropped a team-high 32 points, adding five triples, five rebounds, four assists, and a steal in 39 minutes. The 30-year-old took a season-high 26 shots- and was able to be efficient despite the increase in volume. […]

Andrelton Simmons Remains Out Of Camp

Minnesota Twins shortstop Andrelton Simmons still has yet to arrive at camp due to unresolved visa issues. The team is still awaiting word on when Simmons will get his visa appointment, which they believed would be on Friday- though it ultimately didn't materialize that way in what continues to be an unusually long case. Shortstops […]

J.A. Happ Joins Team On Tuesday

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher J.A. Happ has joined the team at camp on Tuesday. Happ cleared the COVID-19 protocols after testing positive for the virus about a week ago, though he was asymptomatic and able to stay in "pretty good throwing shape," per manager Rocco Baldelli. The team believes the veteran left-hander will be ready for […]

Carmelo Anthony Posts Season-High 29 Points, Six Treys

Portland Trail Blazers forward Carmelo Anthony turned back the clock in a 123-111 win over Charlotte. Anthony scored a season-high 29 points while draining six treys, including a triple late in the fourth that set the Blazers franchise record for most makes from deep in a game. The 36-year-old rounded out his line with five […]
