Donovan Mitchell Downgraded to Questionable

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (eye) was added to the team's injury report for Thursday against the Bulls as questionable due to a left eye contusion. Late additions to the injury report often lead to absences, and if Mitchell is unable to play this game in Chicago, it will be a great spot for Dennis […]

Bilal Coulibaly Will Not Play on Thursday

Washington Wizards guard/forward Bilal Coulibaly (heel) will miss Thursday's rematch with the Pistons, which will be his second straight absence. With Trae Young (quad), Kyshawn George (elbow), and Coulibaly all sidelined, there should be plenty of work for rookies Tre Johnson and Will Riley, along with Bub Carrington and Jaden Hardy, who chipped in 16 […]

Alexandre Sarr Will Play on Thursday Against Detroit

Washington Wizards center Alexandre Sarr (toe) was upgraded from questionable to available for his team's home game against Jalen Duren and the Pistons on Thursday night.

Kawhi Leonard May Not Play Thursday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (ankle) is on the team's injury report on Thursday, listed as questionable for the second game of the two-game, back-to-back set in New Orleans.

Darius Garland Ruled Out Thursday

Los Angeles Clippers guard Darius Garland (toe) will not play on Thursday, as his team finishes a back-to-back set against the Pelicans in New Orleans.

Austin Reaves Uncertain for Thursday's Game Against the Heat

Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves (forearm) was listed as questionable for Thursday's matchup in Miami, joining LeBron James (foot) and Luka Doncic (hip), who also have questionable tags. If Reaves plays and either or both of the other two stars sit, he'll have a very high ceiling against the Heat, but there's also a […]

LeBron James Questionable for His Return to Miami

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (foot) may not be taking his talents to South Beach after all--at least not for Thursday's game against the Heat. James was listed as questionable for the second game of the team's back-to-back, along with Luka Doncic (hip) and Austin Reaves (forearm). If any one or two of the […]

Cade Cunningham Will Miss at Least Two Weeks

Detroit Pistons point guard Cade Cunningham (lung) will miss at least two weeks, according to the official team update, as he deals with a left collapsed lung.

Matt Strahm Considered Day-to-Day After Being Hit By a Comebacker

Kansas City Royals relief pitcher Matt Strahm (leg) was diagnosed with a leg contusion and is considered day-to-day after being struck by a line drive against the Rangers.

Tatsuya Imai Ready to Make a Splash?

Houston Astros starting pitcher Tatsuya Imai has looked solid in spring training, allowing just two hits and one walk while picking up seven strikeouts in six innings. He worked three perfect innings with four strikeouts against the Marlins last Wednesday. The fact that he only has one walk is especially important since his control has […]

Can Michael Busch Build on Last Year's Success?

Chicago Cubs first baseman Michael Busch broke through as a regular in 2024 and emerged as a solid fantasy starter in 2025. He posted a .261/.343/.523 slash line with 34 home runs, 90 RBI, 78 runs scored, and four stolen bases. He was able to reduce his strikeout rate from 28.6% in 2024 to 23.5% […]

Juan Soto Is Worth an Early First-Round Pick

New York Mets outfielder Juan Soto is the No. 2 outfielder in the RotoBaller rankings, and he looks ready to live up to lofty expectations in his second season with the Mets.

Willson Contreras Continues Strong Spring

Boston Red Sox first baseman Willson Contreras is putting together a strong first impression after joining the team this offseason in a trade from the Cardinals.

Top Third Base Fantasy Baseball Prospect Breakouts and Stashes (2026)

Third base is called the hot corner because of the quick reaction time needed on line drives or hard groundballs down the line that come in "hot." It's a position that also requires quick reactions in fantasy baseball, since there is a big drop-off after the elite options are off the board. If you need […]

Trae Young Will Not Play Tuesday

Washington Wizards guard Trae Young (quad) played 21 minutes on Monday in a loss to the Warriors, finishing with 21 points, five assists, two rebounds, one steal, and one block.

Bam Adebayo Is Unlikely to Play on Tuesday

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (calf) is now doubtful for Tuesday's matchup with the Hornets after originally being listed as questionable.

Mitchell Robinson Downgraded to Questionable for Tuesday

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (back) was added to the team's injury report for Tuesday's matchup against the Pacers as questionable with back tightness.

Jalen Brunson Unlikely to Play Tuesday Against Indiana

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (ankle, neck) was originally questionable for Tuesday's home game against the Pacers, but the team downgraded him to doubtful early in the day on Tuesday.

Kris Bubic Brings Solid Value

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Kris Bubic is back at full strength after having his potential breakout season cut short last year, and he can be a solid mid-round value to add depth to your pitching staff. Last year, the 28-year-old lefty posted a 2.55 ERA, 2.89 FIP, and 2.97 K/BB ratio in 116.1 innings […]

Is Jonathan Aranda a Top Sleeper Pick at First Base?

Tampa Bay Rays first baseman Jonathan Aranda got plenty of hype as a top prospect, and although it took longer than some people expected, he put together a breakout season last year. The 27-year-old hit an impressive .316 with 14 homers and a .381 wOBA in 106 games last year. He missed time with a […]

Will Luis Robert Jr. Bounce Back in the Big Apple?

New York Mets outfielder Luis Robert Jr. will be in a very different environment this year as he adjusts to playing for the Mets instead of the White Sox. Robert has flashed a very high ceiling and has elite raw talent, but has struggled with injuries and consistency throughout the last few seasons. 2025 was […]

Cody Ponce Is Putting Together a Solid Spring

Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Cody Ponce has worked eight innings in four spring training games for the Blue Jays, allowing just one run on six hits with four strikeouts. With Jose Berrios (elbow) dealing with an injury issue, Ponce's spot in the Blue Jays rotation is even more secure heading into the season. The 31-year-old […]

Can Victor Vodnik Be a Late-Round Saves Source?

Colorado Rockies relief pitcher Victor Vodnik finished 2025 with 10 saves in his 52 appearances last season and is expected to start the year as the team's primary closer.
