Alex Cobb Looking, Feeling Good

Baltimore Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said that starting pitcher Alex Cobb (back, hip, knee) looked good while watching him throw a side session during minicamp earlier this month. "He looked great, he felt great, so that's huge news for us," Hyde said. Cobb made just three starts for the O's last season due to multiple […]

Panthers Parting Ways With Greg Olsen

The Carolina Panthers and tight end Greg Olsen have mutually agreed to part ways after nine seasons together. However, the three-time Pro Bowler who has played 13 NFL seasons said he still wants to continue playing. The 34-year-old was set to count $11.675 million against the salary cap in 2020. Olsen became the first tight […]

Raiders May Be Interested In Robby Anderson

The Las Vegas Raiders, who were interested in trading for New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson at last year's trade deadline, could look to sign him when he becomes a free agent this March. Anderson will likely be too expensive for the Jets to keep, and he should receive plenty of interest around the […]

Falcons Non-Committal On Austin Hooper

Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank praised two-time Pro Bowl tight end Austin Hooper, but he wouldn't commit to the team giving him a long-term contract extension this offseason. Hooper will become an unrestricted free agent in March. "I think he's a young, ascending player, and he has performed at a very high level for us," […]

Dak Prescott Doesn't Need Shoulder Surgery

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott (shoulder) said he won't need offseason surgery on his right shoulder that he injured in Week 15. "It’s good. It’s improving every day. It’s better. We’re good," Prescott said. The biggest thing surrounding Prescott this offseason is whether he'll get a long-term extension from the Cowboys or if they'll slap […]

Elfrid Payton Suspended One Game

New York Knicks point guard Elfrid Payton (suspension) will miss Saturday night's game against the Indiana Pacers due to suspension. Payton is receiving the one-game suspension due to his role in an altercation between the Knicks and Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday. With Payton out, Dennis Smith Jr. will likely start while Frank Ntilikina will likely […]

Jaren Jackson Jr. Suspended One Game

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Jaren Jackson Jr. (suspension) will miss Friday night's game against the New Orleans Pelicans with a one-game suspension. There was an altercation between Memphis and the New York Knicks which resulted in multiple fines and suspensions. Jackson is receiving the suspension due to him leaving the bench during the altercation. Without Jackson, […]

Marvin Bagley To Be Re-Evaluated In Three Weeks

Sacramento Kings forward Marvin Bagley (foot) will be re-evaluated in three weeks. Bagley saw a foot specialist for a second opinion and confirmed his foot injury is a foot sprain.

Ben Simmons is Probable for Thursday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Ben Simmons (illness) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He's dealing with a minor illness, but is expected to suit up for this game. He'll likely see his usage dip back down to normal with Joel Embiid (hand) back in the rotation. Fantasy owners should check back […]

Patrick Beverley Should Play on Thursday

Los Angeles Clippers guard Patrick Beverley (groin) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Sacramento Kings. It sounds like both Beverley and Paul George (hamstring) are going to be back for this game. Lou Williams might lose a few minutes, while Landry Shamet and Maurice Harkless will lose most of their streaming appeal. […]

Paul George is Probable Versus Kings

Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George (hamstring) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He has been sidelined for each of the last nine games due to a left hamstring issue. Landry Shamet and Maurice Harkless would lose most of their streaming appeal with George back in the mix. Fantasy owners […]

Tim Hardaway Jr. is Questionable for Friday

Dallas Mavericks guard Tim Hardaway Jr. (back) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Houston Rockets. Luka Doncic (ankle) has already been ruled out, so losing Hardaway would hurt. Fantasy owners should have a better idea about his status after shootaround on Friday. Delon Wright, Seth Curry, and Jalen Brunson could be asked […]

Mike Conley is Ruled Out for Thursday

Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. It's the second game of a back-to-back set, so the Jazz are playing it safe and letting Conley rest. Donovan Mitchell will see an increase in usage without Conley on the court. He should be back next game, […]

Luka Doncic Won't Play Against Rockets

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (ankle) won't travel with the team for Friday's game against the Houston Rockets. He tweaked his ankle during practice on Thursday and will have an MRI on Friday. The Mavs may decide to rest Doncic until after the All-Star break if his injury is severe. Fantasy owners will have to […]

San Jose Sharks forward Tomas Hertl (knee) will be sidelined for the remainder of the 2019-2020 campaign after suffering a torn ACL and MCL in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Vancouver Canucks. The 26-year-old skated for just 1:10 of ice time in the contest and scored a goal before departing following a collision into the […]

Mariners Sign Yoshihisa Hirano

The Seattle Mariners signed relief pitcher Yoshihisa Hirano to an undisclosed one-year deal on Thursday, according to general manager Jerry Dipoto.

Ryan Johansen Finds Scoresheet In Win

Nashville Predators center Ryan Johansen played a major role in his team's 5-4 defeat of the Washington Capitals on Wednesday, potting a short-handed goal and adding an assist in the victory. In addition to his pair of points, Johansen was a noticeable player throughout the night, registering two penalty minutes, three shots and one block […]

Mariners Add Wei-Yin Chen

The Seattle Mariners signed pitcher Wei-Yin Chen to an undisclosed one-year deal on Thursday. Chen made 45 relief appearances with the Marlins in 2019 and struggled to the tune of a 6.59 ERA and 1.54 WHIP with 63 strikeouts and 18 walks in 68 1/3 innings pitched. The left-hander will be an option if Seattle […]

Alex Ovechkin Tallies Two Points On Wednesday

Washington Capitals forward Alex Ovechkin registered a goal and added an assist as his team dropped a 5-4 decision to the visiting Nashville Predators on Wednesday night. With his first-period marker (his 693rd career goal), the 34-year-old passed Steve Yzerman and moved into ninth place in the NHL all-time goal list. Ovechkin is about as […]

Jordy Mercer Re-Signs With Tigers

The Detroit Tigers re-signed shortstop Jordy Mercer to a minor league deal on Thursday. He'll receive an invite to spring training. Mercer played in only 74 games for Detroit in 2019 due to injury, but he did hit a respectable .270/.310/.438 with nine home runs and 22 RBI. Still, he's a glove-first player that won't […]

Allen Robinson Wants To Stay In Chicago

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson, who has a year left on his current contract, said he wants to stay in Chicago long term. “I want to be in Chicago, if they’ll have me,” Robinson said. “The biggest thing is, I can’t make that happen solely myself. I just gotta control what I can control. […]

Al Horford Won't Play on Thursday

Philadelphia 76ers forward/center Al Horford (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Joel Embiid (hand) is back in the rotation, so it's not surprising that the Sixers are letting Horford rest here. Kyle O'Quinn and Mike Scott should be asked to play more without Horford in the rotation. Embiid could […]

Saints May Not Be Able To Keep Teddy Bridgewater

New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton said that he thinks it's "unrealistic" to be able to retain all three of quarterbacks Drew Brees, Teddy Bridgewater and Taysom Hill, who will all become free agents in March. Brees is taking his time to decide if he wants to come back for another season, but all […]

Jayson Tatum Will Return on Thursday

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (groin) will return for Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors. He has missed each of the last three games due to a groin issue. Tatum will be back on Thursday, but he will be limited during this contest. He'll likely see around 20 minutes, but it depends on how […]

Reds Agree With Pedro Strop

The Cincinnati Reds agreed to a one-year, $1.825 million deal with relief pitcher Pedro Strop on Thursday. Strop can earn an extra $1.5 million in incentives. The 34-year-old right-hander had a down year in 2019 with the Cubs, posting a 4.97 ERA and 1.27 WHIP with 49 strikeouts and 20 walks in 41 2/3 innings […]

Enes Kanter is Ruled Out for Thursday

Boston Celtics center Enes Kanter (hip) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors. This marks the fourth game in a row that Kanter has missed, but he's getting closer to returning, according to head coach Brad Stevens. Daniel Theis is going to benefit the most until Kanter returns. He'll likely […]

Nick Castellanos to Reds - Fantasy Impact

The winter of the Cincinnati Reds keeps rolling on. They already added some pitching in Wade Miley, a journeyman to play shortstop in Freddy Galvis, a power-hitting monster in Mike Moustakas, and a Japanese leadoff man in Shogo Akiyama. Now, they have secured one of the top outfield targets on the market in Nick Castellanos. […]

Bruno Fernando is Ruled Out for Thursday

Atlanta Hawks center Bruno Fernando (calf) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. The Hawks will have little depth with Fernando and Alex Len (hip) both sidelined here. John Collins will be asked to start at center, while Damian Jones is asked to play more off the bench. Collins is expected […]
