Jalen Smith Will Not Play Tuesday Against the Hornets

Chicago Bulls forward/center Jalen Smith (calf) was listed as out for Tuesday night's game against the Hornets.

Coby White Available To Make His Hornets' Debut Tuesday

Charlotte Hornets guard Coby White (calf) has been listed as available for his new team's Tuesday night matchup against his former team, the Bulls.

Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown (knee) was downgraded from questionable to out for Tuesday's matchup with the Phoenix Suns. He had 32 points, eight rebounds, seven assists, and three steals in 36 minutes against the Lakers on Sunday, but he also suffered a knee contusion. Without him in Phoenix, the team will rely more heavily […]

Jameson Taillon Can Be a Sneaky Late-Round Value

Chicago Cubs pitcher Jameson Taillon can be a nice depth addition late in mixed-league drafts, since his ADP (average draft position) is currently around 300. Taillon had a solid season overall last year, making 23 starts and going 11-7 with a 3.68 ERA. His 4.65 FIP was a little high, but he was able to […]

Matt Wallner Ready for a Breakout Season?

Minnesota Twins outfielder Matt Wallner brings elite raw power but has been very streaky in his time in the majors. He only hit .202 in his 104 games last season but did set a career-high with 22 home runs. The lefty actually had more success against lefties, but his contact rate was low on both […]

Andres Gimenez Looking for Healthy 2026

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop/second baseman Andres Gimenez helped the Blue Jays get to the World Series in his first season after joining the team via trade, but he had a down year at the plate. He hit only .210 after hitting over .250 in each of his last three seasons in Cleveland, and he only […]

Ernie Clement Expected to Play a Major Role in Toronto

Toronto Blue Jays infielder Ernie Clement is a nice late-round fantasy baseball value who brings versatility and should get regular playing time for the Blue Jays. He actually hit leadoff in their first game of spring training while playing 2B. George Springer was not in the lineup and will normally hit leadoff, but Clement will […]

Chris Sale Signs Extension With Braves

Collin Murray-Boyles on Track to Play Thursday

Toronto Raptors forward/center Collin Murray-Boyles (thumb) is listed as probable after missing his team's last game before the break with a left thumb sprain.

Jalen Smith Will Likely Play Thursday Against Toronto

Chicago Bulls center/forward Jalen Smith (calf) is listed as probable for his team's first game after the All-Star break on Thursday night against the Raptors.

Tre Jones Upgraded to Probable

Chicago Bulls guard Tre Jones (hamstring) was upgraded from questionable to probable and will likely make his return on Thursday, when the Bulls host the Raptors.

Sandro Mamukelashvili is Questionable in Chicago

Toronto Raptors center Sandro Mamukelashvili (rib) is listed as questionable for Thursday's matchup with the Bulls in the Windy City, due to a right rib contusion. The Raptors just got Jakob Poeltl back in action before the break, and he'll probably remain on a minutes restriction for a while. Mamukelashvili and Collin Murray-Boyles (thumb, probable) […]

Micah Potter Uncertain for Thursday Night Against Washington

Indiana Pacers forward/center Micah Potter (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday's matchup, and he'll be a key player to watch for DFS contests and streaming options in a great matchup against the Wizards. He had 19 points and 12 rebounds in 27 minutes in his last game before the All-Star break against the Nets […]

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Headed for Surgery

Memphis Grizzlies guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (finger) is going to undergo surgery to address the misalignment of his right pinky finger, and after the surgery, the team should be able to provide a firmer timeline of when he'll be able to return this season, if at all. KCP gets plenty of minutes when healthy, but is […]

Ja Morant Out for at Least Two More Weeks

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant (elbow) has not played since Jan. 21 and has been limited to only 20 games this season due to multiple injuries. He'll be sidelined for at least a couple more weeks due to discomfort from his UCL sprain. He is averaging 19.5 points, 8.1 assists, and 3.3 rebounds per […]

Michael King Hoping for a Healthy 2026

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Michael King is a high-risk, high-reward option in 2026 fantasy baseball drafts after re-signing a three-year deal in the offseason. In his first year in San Diego, King showed his upside with a sparkling 2.95 ERA, 3.33 FIP, and 1.19 WHIP to go with a career-high 201 strikeouts in 30 […]

Corbin Carroll Targeting Opening Day Return

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll (hand) said he is targeting an Opening Day return from his surgery to fix a broken hamate bone suffered in spring training.

Logan Webb Ready for Another Workhorse Season?

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Logan Webb has been a durable and consistent ace for the Giants over the last several seasons, making 32-plus starts in four straight years and surpassing 200 innings in each of the last three years.

Griffin Canning Expected to Begin the Season on the Injured List

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Griffin Canning (Achilles) is not expected to be ready to join his new team's rotation to start the season, but he could be back relatively early in the season. He could be ready to take a spot in April or May after finishing his recovery from a ruptured Achilles tendon […]

Ben Cowles Claimed by the Blue Jays

The Toronto Blue Jays have claimed infielder Ben Cowles off waivers from the Chicago Cubs.

He originally came up in the Yankees' system before getting traded to the Cubs in the Mark Leiter Jr. deal back […]

CJ Alexander Signs Minor-League Deal With Astros

Free-agent infielder CJ Alexander has agreed to a minor-league deal with the Astros, and the 28-year-old lefty will likely serve as organizational depth for Houston this season. For the last few seasons, the infielder has bounced around Triple-A, spending time in the systems of the Braves, Royals, Athletics, Yankees, and Dodgers. He made it to […]

Jack Leiter Looking to Build on Solid Second Half

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Jack Leiter appears to have secured the fourth spot in the Rangers' rotation coming into the season, behind a strong trio of Jacob deGrom, Nathan Eovaldi, and recently-acquired MacKenzie Gore. Leiter finished his first full season in the majors 10-10 in 29 starts for Texas last year, racking up 148 strikeouts […]

Kyle Manzardo Can Be a Great Late-Round Power Source

Cleveland Guardians first baseman Kyle Manzardo is ready to build on last year's success and came into spring training with a new look and new approach.
