Hal Steinbrenner Concerned About Righty-Heavy Yankees Lineup

New York Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner called the Yankees lack of everyday left-handed batters a concern, which is good news for first-baseman Mike Ford and outfielder Mike Tauchman.

NBA DFS Prop Picks for Wednesday (2/5/19) - Monkey Knife Fight

As one of the top plays, Andre Drummond has been rolling in production and he faces one of the weakest frontcourts in the league Wednesday night.

Atlanta Braves relief pitcher Shane Greene lost his salary arbitration case against the team, according to a source. He'll earn $6.25 million in 2020 instead of the $6.75 million he requested.

Boston Celtics center Daniel Theis (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic.

Tristan Thompson is Doubtful for Wednesday

Cleveland Cavaliers center Tristan Thompson (quad) has been downgraded to doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

He was beginning to ramping up his playing time, but suffered a setback with the stress reaction in his right foot. The All-Star break is quickly approaching, so it wouldn't […]

De'Andre Hunter Should Return on Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (ankle) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Hunter has missed each of the last two games due to a left ankle issue.

Jerami Grant is Questionable for Wednesday

Denver Nuggets forward Jerami Grant (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. Grant suffered an ankle injury during Tuesday's game and didn't return.

James Paxton Out 3-4 Months

New York Yankees starting pitcher James Paxton (back) underwent a microscopic lumbar discectomy with the removal of a peridiscal cyst on Wednesday and will be out roughly three to four months.

Richaun Holmes Able to Practice on Wednesday

Sacramento Kings center Richaun Holmes (shoulder) was able to get through Wednesday's practice without any issues.
