Jordan Westburg Tumbling Down Draft Boards

Baltimore Orioles infielder Jordan Westburg (elbow) is dealing with an injury that doesn't give him a clear timetable to return, and as a result, his draft stock has plummeted over the last few weeks. Westburg is the No. 22 second baseman and the No. 22 third baseman in RotoBaller's rankings, but the floor has dropped […]

Can Geraldo Perdomo Build on His Breakout Campaign?

Arizona Diamondbacks shortstop Geraldo Perdomo took a huge leap in 2025, and his offense caught up with his excellent defense during his age-25 season. Perdomo posted an impressive .290/.389/.462 slash line with 20 home runs, 27 stolen bases, more walks than strikeouts, and a 370 wOBA. He played 161 of Arizona's 162 games and posted […]

Will Spencer Strider Bounce Back?

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Spencer Strider was a fantasy ace earlier in his career, but he has not been able to return to his dominant levels since missing almost all of the 2024 season with an elbow injury that required an internal brace procedure. He did make 23 starts last year but posted a 4.45 […]

Tristan Vukcevic Ruled Out Tuesday in Orlando

Washington Wizards center Tristan Vukcevic (thigh) will miss a second straight game after also not playing on Monday versus the Rockets. The 22-year-old has been effective when available while filling in for Alexandre Sarr (hamstring), but will not be a fantasy option on Tuesday. Anthony Gill (illness) will also miss a second straight game, leaving […]

Kyshawn George Will Not Play Tuesday

Washington Wizards forward Kyshawn George (elbow) was able to play through a knee contusion on Monday in the first game of his team's back-to-back, but he exited in the third quarter with an elbow sprain, which will keep him on the sidelines on Tuesday against Orlando. George has played very well when at full strength, […]

P.J. Washington Likely to Play Tuesday Against Hornets

Dallas Mavericks forward/center P.J. Washington (ankle) was upgraded from questionable to probable on Tuesday afternoon and will likely return for this matchup against his former team. He has missed the last three games, and his return will be important for the Mavericks, who will likely be without Cooper Flagg (foot, doubtful), Naji Marshall (finger, out), […]

Klay Thompson Downgraded to Doubtful on Tuesday against Charlotte

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Klay Thompson (adductor) was downgraded from questionable to doubtful for Tuesday night against the Charlotte Hornets. Thompson suffered a right adductor contusion in Sunday's loss to Oklahoma City and left after only 15 minutes.

Andrew Wiggins a Late Addition to the Heat's Injury Report

Miami Heat forward Andrew Wiggins (toe) was a late addition to the team's injury report before Tuesday's game against the Nets with bilateral knee tendinitis. He is probable but will likely play through the pain this Tuesday, but he could have a reduced workload, especially if the game gets lopsided. Any addition this close to […]

Kelly Oubre Jr. Listed as Out on Tuesday

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (illness) was a late addition to the injury report and was downgraded to out on Tuesday, as his team starts their back-to-back set of games with a home game against the Spurs. Without Oubre, more minutes will likely be available for Quentin Grimes and Jabari Walker on the wings. […]

Anthony Black Downgraded to Questionable Tuesday Against the Wizards

Orlando Magic guard Anthony Black (quadriceps) was probable for Tuesday's matchup but was downgraded to questionable before tipoff. He is trending in the wrong direction while dealing with his right quadriceps contusion, but he still has a chance to play through the issue against Washington. He missed Orlando's last game, and Jalen Suggs returned to […]

Mike Burrows Looking Strong in Early Spring Action

Houston Astros starting pitcher Mike Burrows landed with his new team as part of a three-team swap this offseason, and the team sees him as an "upside play" who can jump into their rotation right away. The Astros saw an opportunity to adjust his pitch mix a little bit and add in a two-seam fastball. […]

Garrett Crochet Is an Elite Anchor for Your Rotation

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Garrett Crochet can be a first-round pick in almost all fantasy baseball formats, and is the No. 10 overall player in RotoBaller's rankings coming into the year. He's the second-highest starting pitcher on the board behind only Tarik Skubal. Crochet put up dazzling numbers last year with a 2.59 ERA, […]

Casey Mize Can Be a Late-Round Value Pick

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Casey Mize finally had a healthy season in 2025, and the No. 1 overall pick from the 2018 MLB Draft had his best season in the majors. He went 14-6 in his 28 starts with a 3.87 ERA, 1.27 WHIP, and 3.89 FIP, while totaling 139 strikeouts over 149 innings. Mize […]

Daylen Lile Can Be a Great Outfield Sleeper

Washington Nationals outfielder Daylen Lile was one of the few bright spots in a rough season for the team last year, and the 23-year-old lefty brings a ton of upside based on his ADP (average draft position) in fantasy drafts coming into his second season in the majors. He closed out last year with NL Player […]

Andrew Painter Headed for Opening Day Roster?

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Andrew Painter had a dominant first start of spring training and looks like he will be on the team's Opening Day roster, according to MLB Network's Jon Morosi.

Patrick Williams Will Not Be Available on Thursday

Malik Monk Uncertain for Thursday Against Dallas

Sacramento Kings guard Malik Monk (ankle) is dealing with ankle soreness and may not be available when his team finishes their back-to-back in Texas with a game against the Mavericks.
