Patrick Reed Brings Momentum to The Masters
Since announcing his departure from LIV, Patrick Reed has been crushing it on the DP World Tour, with two victories, a runner-up, and a T10 in his first six events. The 2018 Masters Champion looks to carry that form to Augusta National, where he's finished T4, T12, and third over the last three years. He's been dominating the DP World Tour, ranking first in total strokes gained (+2.40 per round), second on approach (+1.57), and 14th around the green (+0.38). Reed has also figured out how to putt at Augusta, gaining over 3.5 strokes in four of his last six trips. He is well-rounded, playing with confidence, and in fantastic form. Do not be surprised to see Reed near the top of the leaderboard come Sunday.

Alec Bohm Dealing With Groin Tightness
Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm (groin) came out of Monday night's game against the San Francisco Giants with groin tightness, which is why he was out of Tuesday's starting lineup, according to Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer. Manager Rob Thomson said that Bohm should be fine for Wednesday's contest against the Giants. Edmundo Sosa got the start at the hot corner on Tuesday in place of Bohm. The 29-year-old Bohm has gotten off to a slow start in 2026 in his seventh year in the majors, going 8-for-39 (.205) with a homer, a double, eight RBI, and three runs scored in 44 plate appearances over 10 games. Fantasy managers will want to check back on Wednesday to see if Bohm is officially back in action for a scheduled matchup against Giants right-hander Tyler Mahle. If Bohm continues to struggle at the plate this year, the Phillies could decide to call up prospect Aidan Miller (back) and have him push Bohm for playing time.

Sean Murphy Expected to Begin Rehab Assignment on Friday
Atlanta Braves catcher Sean Murphy (hip) is expected to begin a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday, according to Chad Bishop of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Murphy didn't play at all during spring training after having offseason hip surgery, so the 31-year-old veteran's rehab assignment won't be a short one. The Braves also don't have to rush him back with both Drake Baldwin and Jonah Heim both fully capable of handling catching duties at the big-league level in the meantime. When Murphy is fully cleared to rejoin the big-league roster, he figures to see plenty of at-bats between catcher and designated hitter, although he could be eased back into action. The former third-rounder by the A's in 2016 out of Wright State has well above-average pop for a catcher, having hit 56 homers from 2021 to 2023. However, he's coming off major hip surgery and has just 26 long balls in the last two seasons while playing fewer than 100 games. Durability has become a major question mark for Murphy.

Patrick Corbin to be Called up Wednesday, in Line to Start on Friday
Toronto Blue Jays veteran left-hander Patrick Corbin will be recalled from Single-A Dunedin on Wednesday and is tentatively scheduled to start on Friday against the Minnesota Twins, manager John Schneider told Hazel Mae of Sportsnet. In his lone minor-league start with Dunedin over the weekend, the 36-year-old southpaw looked great, allowing an unearned run with nine strikeouts in five innings of work. That was against lower-lever minor-league bats, though, so fantasy managers will want to temper expectations in his first start back in the big leagues, even in a favorable matchup against the Twins. The two-time All-Star has made 30 starts in eight straight seasons, but outside of durability, there's plenty of volatility in his left arm, especially in the tough American League East and in hitter-friendly Rogers Centre. Corbin has not had an ERA below 4.00 since 2019 with the Washington Nationals, and his below-average career strikeout rate will leave him little room for error. However, with Cody Ponce (knee), Jose Berrios (elbow), Shane Bieber (elbow, forearm), and Trey Yesavage (shoulder) all on the shelf, Corbin could have a runway to stick in the Jays' starting rotation for a while if he pitches well.

Jon Rahm Looks Poised for His Second Green Jacket
Jon Rahm has been dominant on LIV to begin the year, recording three runner-up finishes, a fifth-place finish, and a win through his first five events. He looks to keep it rolling as he makes his tenth start at Augusta National. The 2023 Masters champion has just one finish outside the top 27 here, which came in 2024 shortly after his move away from the PGA Tour. This season, Rahm leads LIV in total strokes gained (+2.84 per round) and on approach (+1.07), ranks second off the tee (+0.84), and sits fifth in putting (+0.61). He has already proven he can win here, and there may not be a more in-form player in the world right now. Rahm enters as a serious contender to claim his second green jacket.

Morgan Geekie Collects Second Career Hat Trick
Boston Bruins center Morgan Geekie scored three goals, but it was not enough to defeat the Carolina Hurricanes as Boston lost 6-5 in overtime on Tuesday. He was on a big goal drought before Tuesday, having not scored a goal since March 5 -- 17 straight contests. Despite this drought, Geekie is having a career year with 37 goals, 66 points, and 22 penalty minutes.

Joe Musgrove Still Not Throwing Off a Mound
San Diego Padres right-hander Joe Musgrove (elbow), who began the 2026 regular season on the 15-day injured list while recovering from Tommy John surgery that he had in 2024, still is not throwing off a mound, according to The San Diego Union-Tribune. "To get major-league hitters out, your (expletive) has got to be good, and you've got to be confident," Musgrove said. "And I just don't have that right now. I'm not far off." The next step will be to get back on a mound, and eventually he'll resume facing hitters before going on a minor-league rehab assignment. The 33-year-old last threw off a mound on March 4 in an exhibition game in spring training against Great Britain, but he was pulled back from his rehab after that after not responding like he wanted to. The Padres are going to slow-play this one given Musgrove's extensive absence, and we might not see Musgrove make his 2026 debut at this rate until June or July.

Jacob deGrom Doesn't Have Structural Damage in his Knee
Texas Rangers right-hander Jacob deGrom's (knee) MRI results showed no structural damage in his right knee, according to Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News. It was an old injury that flared up. deGrom is scheduled to throw his normal between-starts bullpen to test it out, but the team isn't expecting him to miss a start. Fantasy managers can breathe a sigh of relief that the oft-injured 37-year-old veteran will avoid a trip to the injured list early in the 2026 season. deGrom was pulled from his start on Monday night against the Seattle Mariners as a precaution when he felt tenderness in his knee. The two-time Cy Young winner is typically a must-start in fantasy, but you may want to think twice about that in his next scheduled outing coming off injury against the defending World Series-champion Los Angeles Dodgers on the road. deGrom has so far allowed four earned runs on seven hits (two homers) while walking one and striking out 13 in 9 2/3 innings over his two starts.

Gregory Soto Sharp in High-Leverage Spot on Tuesday
Pittsburgh Pirates relief pitcher Gregory Soto delivered a strong outing against the San Diego Padres on Tuesday, pitching a scoreless inning with a strikeout without allowing a baserunner. Across 7 1/3 innings (seven games) so far in 2026, the 31-year-old has allowed just two hits, three walks, and one earned run while recording 13 strikeouts and a save. Soto has yet to establish himself as the full-time closer in Pittsburgh, and with the Pirates holding a one-run lead on Tuesday, he entered the game in the eighth inning. However, Soto's main competition for the ninth-inning role in Pittsburgh might be veteran right-hander Dennis Santana, who owns just 20 saves and a middling 22.1% strikeout rate for his career. By comparison, Soto has 57 career saves and struck out 25.1% of the batters he faced in 2025. For fantasy managers in need of saves, Soto could be a player worth targeting on the waiver wire.

Devin Williams Quickly Returning to High-End Closer Territory
New York Mets closer Devin Williams delivered another scoreless outing in his team's 4-3 extra-inning win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday, allowing two hits but also picking up two strikeouts in one inning of work. The 31-year-old has gotten off to a strong start to his Mets career, as he's thrown five scoreless innings with seven strikeouts and two saves across his first five appearances with the team. Williams had a down year in 2025 while pitching for the New York Yankees, posting a 4.79 ERA across 62 innings and losing the closer role by the middle of the season. Still, even amidst his struggles, Williams posted a 34.7% strikeout rate and held opponents to a .196 batting average. Before 2025, Williams had logged three consecutive campaigns with an ERA under 2.00. Early on in 2026, Williams appears to have re-joined the ranks of high-end fantasy closers.

J.T. Realmuto Leaves Game on Tuesday Due to Bruised Right Foot
Philadelphia Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto (foot) was forced to exit early from his team's matchup with the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday after being struck by a foul ball and has been diagnosed with a bruised right foot, per Todd Zolecki of MLB.com. While the injury was serious enough to prevent Realmuto from finishing the game, it appears as though the team's initial examination has ruled out broken bones. The 35-year-old catcher is off to a strong start to the 2026 season, hitting .240/.406/.400 with one home run, one RBI, and four runs scored across his first 32 plate appearances. In a small sample size, he's posted a 52.6% hard-hit rate, which would be the best mark of his career. Phillies backup catcher Rafael Marchan took over for Realmuto against San Francisco and would be the favorite to see the majority of playing time behind the plate for Philadelphia if Realmuto is forced to miss additional time.

Shaedon Sharpe Picks Up Doubtful Tag
Portland Trail Blazers guard Shaedon Sharpe (fibula) has been upgraded to doubtful on the injury report before Wednesday's action against the San Antonio Spurs. A stress reaction in his left fibula has kept Sharpe out for two months, but his doubtful designation suggests he could potentially return before the regular season wraps up. The Trail Blazers' next game is Friday against the Clippers, and they will finish things off by hosting Sacramento on Sunday. Sharpe has played very well when healthy this season, averaging a career-high 21.4 points, along with 4.4 rebounds, 2.6 assists, and 1.4 steals.

Noah Cameron Turns in Another Strong Outing, Profiles as a Top Waiver-Wire Target
Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Noah Cameron delivered a quality performance in his team's 2-1 loss to the Cleveland Guardians on Tuesday, allowing one earned run, one walk, and six hits while striking out five across 5 2/3 innings of work. The 26-year-old is off to a strong start to the 2026 season, as he's allowed just two earned runs and two walks and racked up 10 strikeouts across 10 2/3 innings (two starts). Cameron made his MLB debut for the Royals in 2025 and pitched well, logging a 2.99 ERA and 1.10 WHIP across 138 1/3 innings. Still, he posted a subpar 20.5% strikeout rate, and his 84% strand rate made him a prime regression candidate. Thus far in 2026, Cameron has backed up his rookie season production, albeit in a small sample size. His next start is scheduled for Sunday against the Chicago White Sox, so fantasy managers in leagues with weekly pickups will get another chance to see Cameron before he hits the waiver wire.

Dexter Lawrence Looking for $30 Million Annually?
New York Giants defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence, who is unhappy with his current contract and has demanded a trade, is expected to demand $30 million annually, a source told Connor Hughes of SNY. The Giants gave Lawrence a four-year, $90 million extension in 2023 that made him one of the five highest-paid defensive tackles in the league. But at $20 million per year, he's now the 12th-highest-paid interior defensive lineman. The decline in Lawrence's production in 2025 (only half a sack) will likely prevent him from resetting the market at the position, but he's still going to ask for plenty. Another front-office source could see Lawrence demanding as much as $35 million a year on a new deal because of the salary cap increase this year. Most external sources expect the two sides to work something out, possibly before the NFL draft starts on April 23, but head coach John Harbaugh also said that "no one is untradable."

Stephon Castle Considered Doubtful for Wednesday
San Antonio Spurs guard Stephon Castle (knee) is unlikely to play on Wednesday against the Portland Trail Blazers, as the team has listed him as doubtful on the injury report. Castle bagged a triple-double in Monday's win over Philadelphia, but he also hurt his right knee in the contest. Dylan Harper would get a big boost from Castle's absence on Wednesday. Victor Wembanyama (ribs) is also considered doubtful, so players like Harper, De'Aaron Fox, Devin Vassell, and Keldon Johnson could be a lot more involved in the offense.

Texans Acquire Linebacker Marte Mapu From Patriots
The Houston Texans acquired linebacker Marte Mapu from the New England Patriots on Tuesday, a source told Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle. The two teams are also swapping late-round picks in the 2027 NFL draft. Mapu will head to the AFC South division after spending his first three years of his NFL career in New England, totaling 89 tackles (53 solo), half a sack, three interceptions, 12 pass breakups, and five forced fumbles in 44 games (10 starts). The 26-year-old former third-rounder in 2023 out of Sacramento State had 25 tackles (18 solo), one interception, five pass breakups, and a forced fumble in 17 regular-season games (zero starts) in 2025. Mapu will most likely fill a role on special teams in Houston and can be ignored in IDP fantasy football leagues in 2026.

Carter Jensen Continues Power Surge on Tuesday
Kansas City Royals catcher Carter Jensen was the lone offensive bright spot in his team's 2-1 loss to the Cleveland Guardians on Tuesday, as he went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run. The 22-year-old has now gone deep in back-to-back games and has three home runs in 31 plate appearances this season. Jensen also owns an impressive 53.3% hard-hit rate, backing up the 58.3% hard-hit rate he posted across a 60-plate appearance sample size in 2025. Perhaps most importantly, Jensen could be working his way towards everyday playing time in Kansas City. The presence of veteran Royals catcher Salvador Perez blocks Jensen from the full-time starting role behind the plate, but the Royals should have enough at-bats available at designated hitter to give both players regular playing time. Jensen will be a popular waiver-wire target across all formats if he can continue his recent hot streak at the plate.

Jaxson Hayes a Late Scratch Against Thunder
Los Angeles Lakers center Jaxson Hayes (foot) won't play on Tuesday night against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Lakers have lost another body from the rotation, as Hayes popped up on the injury report an hour before tip-off. The big man is experiencing soreness in his left foot. With Hayes unavailable, starting center Deandre Ayton could be in for a very busy night. Maxi Kleber and Drew Timme will get an opportunity to log more minutes off the bench. Jarred Vanderbilt and Rui Hachimura could also see some time at center. Unfortunately for Ayton & Co., this is a brutal matchup against a team that allows the fewest points per game to centers this season.

Browns Considering Francis Mauigoa at No. 6 Overall?
ESPN's Field Yates said that he "would lean" toward the Cleveland Browns taking either Ohio State wide receiver Carnell Tate or University of Miami offensive tackle Francis Mauigoa with the No. 6 overall pick in the upcoming NFL draft. Either way, the Browns would be looking to upgrade their offense under new offensive-minded head coach Todd Monken. Tate, who caught 51 passes for 875 yards and nine touchdowns in 2025 for the Buckeyes, would be the more immediate contributor on offense and would give either quarterbacks Shedeur Sanders or Deshaun Watson (Achilles) an explosive playmaker through the air that the team has been lacking. Tate, if in Cleveland, could immediately become the Browns' top wideout over Jerry Jeudy and Isaiah Bond. Mauigoa is tempting as well as the Browns look to upgrade an O-line that was among the worst at blocking for their RBs in 2025.

Max Strus Returning to Action Wednesday
Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Max Strus (foot) will return from a one-game absence on Wednesday against the Atlanta Hawks. He was held out of the second game of a back-to-back on Monday night against Memphis. Due to a foot injury, Strus wasn't able to make his season debut until mid-March, and he has regularly sat out action in back-to-back situations. So far, Strus has made nine appearances, averaging 12.7 points and 6.0 rebounds with 44.8 percent efficiency from downtown. The Hawks have done a good job defensively against three-point specialists this season, making this a tricky matchup for Strus.

Deshaun Watson Medically Cleared for QB Competition
The Athletic's Zac Jackson said that Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson (Achilles), who hasn't played since October of 2024 due to a twice-torn right Achilles tendon, has "been medically cleared for competition." The Browns have put a positive spin on Watson's recovery all offseason and will give him the chance to compete with Shedeur Sanders for the starting job this summer. Sanders, a fifth-rounder last year, started the final seven games of last season and was predictably erratic, although he did show signs of being an explosive playmaker at QB. Jackson adds that Sanders "seems most likely to get the first crack at the starting job and operate as the No. 1" early in spring workouts. However, new head coach Todd Monken continues to stress that "nothing is settled." Watson has the better resume (a three-time Pro Bowler), but he's also 30 years old and is coming off a serious injury. And with Watson's contract expiring after 2026, "logic says" the Browns should prefer the younger option in Sanders. Whoever wins the job this summer will merely be a low-end QB2 option in superflex fantasy football leagues.

Caleb Martin Still Sidelined Tuesday
Dallas Mavericks forward Caleb Martin (heel) is out for Tuesday's game against the Clippers as he continues to work back from a prolonged absence. Although he was previously listed as doubtful, Martin has not played since mid-March and remains outside the regular rotation even when healthy. His absence carries minimal fantasy impact given his limited role, with Naji Marshall and Khris Middleton continuing to handle most of the wing minutes. Martin can remain on waiver wires in most formats given his current absence and lack of consistent minutes when available.

Donovan Mitchell Listed as Questionable for Wednesday
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's contest against the Atlanta Hawks. The seven-time All-Star appeared to hurt his right ankle on Sunday against Indiana and didn't suit up for Monday's matchup with Memphis. James Harden (personal) didn't play either on Monday, which led to Dennis Schroder and Keon Ellis forming Cleveland's starting backcourt. Ellis was Mitchell's replacement in the first unit and could keep his spot if Mitchell needs more time to recover. On Monday, Ellis tallied 19 points and eight assists, but his offensive usage is bound to be much lower against Atlanta, with Harden back in the lineup.

James Conner Present for Start of Offseason Program
Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (foot) was present on Tuesday for the start of the team's voluntary strength and conditioning program, according to Bo Brack of PHNX Sports. Conner was limited to just three games last year due to a foot injury that required surgery, but he's back for offseason workouts as he heads into his 10th year in the NFL. The 30-year-old two-time Pro Bowler will not only see a big drop in fantasy value going into next season because of his injury, but also because the Cardinals added Tyler Allgeier in free agency on a two-year, $8 million deal. Trey Benson (knee), who is also rehabbing from a season-ending injury in 2025, remains on the roster as well. Conner has been the Cardinals' lead back since the start of the 2021 season, but that is definitely going to change in 2026, as he'll be battling for playing time among two other very capable backs. In addition, the Cardinals have been rumored to be considering taking Notre Dame RB Jeremiyah Love with the third overall pick in this year's NFL draft.

James Harden Available Wednesday
Cleveland Cavaliers guard James Harden (personal) is expected to rejoin the lineup on Wednesday against the Atlanta Hawks. The team hasn't included him on the injury report. Harden was unavailable on Monday against Memphis due to personal reasons. With Donovan Mitchell (ankle) also out, Dennis Schroder led the offense with 22 points and 11 assists. Schroder's fantasy value drops significantly with Harden's return. Cleveland might also have Mitchell back on Wednesday, as he's listed as questionable. Since joining the Cavaliers, Harden has been a more efficient scorer, but his overall offensive numbers have dropped. The veteran star has averaged 20.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 7.9 assists in 34.2 minutes per game.

Brandon Williams Ruled Out Tuesday
Dallas Mavericks guard Brandon Williams (illness) will not play Tuesday against the Clippers, opening backcourt minutes with the regular season nearing its end. Ryan Nembhard could reenter the rotation after posting two points, seven rebounds, five assists, and one block in 22 minutes in his last appearance, giving him some deep-league appeal for assists. AJ Johnson may also see limited run but remains more of a speculative flier after logging minimal minutes recently. Williams' absence could also mean more secondary ballhandling chances for Cooper Flagg and Max Christie.

Cam Skattebo in Attendance at Offseason Program
New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo (ankle) was in attendance on Tuesday for the start of the team's voluntary offseason workouts, according to Kevin Patra of NFL.com. Head coach John Harbaugh said that Skattebo is ahead of receiver Malik Nabers (knee) in his rehab, and it's possible that he'll be on the field for some workouts this spring. Nabers' timeline following ACL surgery is closer to training camp or the start of the 2026 regular season. The 24-year-old Skattebo suffered a dislocated right ankle in late October, which ended what was looking like a very promising first year in the NFL. Tyrone Tracy Jr. is still in New York's backfield, but when fully healthy, Skattebo figures to at least be the team's preferred choice on early downs and short-yardage and goal-line situations. The fourth-rounder out of Arizona State had 101 carries for 410 yards and five touchdowns while adding 24 receptions for 207 yards and another two scores in his first eight NFL games (five starts). All signs point to Skattebo being full-go for Week 1 of the regular season this fall.

Malik Nabers to be Ready to Play at Some Point in Training Camp
New York Giants head coach John Harbaugh said on Tuesday that wide receiver Malik Nabers' (knee) timeline to be ready to play "is going to be in training camp and closer to the season," according to Ralph Vacchiano of FOX Sports. Nabers was present for the start of voluntary offseason workouts on Tuesday, but he's unlikely to be doing much of anything on the field after tearing the ACL and meniscus in his right knee in Week 4 of last season. The Giants are hopeful that the former sixth overall pick out of LSU will be ready for Week 1 of the 2026 regular season, and barring a setback this summer, that should be the case. Fantasy managers should be able to get the 22-year-old at a discount in drafts later this year after his knee injury, and although he'll be more risky because of the injury, he'll still have high-end WR1 upside if he's not slowed down at all on the field. Nabers had 1,204 receiving yards and seven touchdowns on 109 catches in his rookie season in 2024 and was well on his way to another big season in 2025 before getting hurt.

Kevin Porter Jr. Undergoes Season-Ending Surgery
Milwaukee Bucks point guard Kevin Porter Jr. (knee) underwent season-ending surgery on Tuesday, the team announced. Porter Jr. has been out since mid-March due to right knee synovitis and had a procedure done to get it fixed. Health issues aside, Porter Jr. had a good campaign with the Bucks, averaging 17.4 points, 5.2 rebounds, 7.4 assists, and 2.2 steals across 38 games. He has a $5.4 million player option for the 2026-27 season. Porter Jr.'s role in Milwaukee could expand considerably in 2026-27 if he stays and Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) moves on.
