Detroit Tigers outfielder Akil Baddoo (hand) is expected to be out of action for the next few weeks. The left-handed slugger underwent surgery on Thursday to address a hamate fracture in his right hand. The Tigers haven't given an exact timetable, but Baddoo is likely to miss at least a few weeks of action. The […]

Mike Clevinger Could Pitch In Relief Role

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Mike Clevinger could be making the transition into the bullpen. The right-hander recently signed a minor-league deal with the team. The assumption is that Clevinger would be competing for a spot in the starting rotation. That might not be the case as Clevinger reportedly could be headed to the bullpen. […]

Skyy Moore Could Be Salary Cap Casualty

The Athletic's Nate Taylor writes that the Kansas City Chiefs could release wide receiver Skyy Moore this offseason and save $1.6 million on the 2025 salary cap, according to Over The Cap. Moore would leave behind just $467,819 in dead money. The 24-year-old former second-round pick (54th overall) in 2022 out of Western Michigan has […]

OG Anunoby Questionable For Friday

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (foot) is listed as questionable for Friday's matchup with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Anunoby could miss his eighth consecutive contest due to a sprained right foot. If the former Raptor is unable to suit up once again, 25-year-old forward Precious Achiuwa will likely get the nod to continue to start. In his […]

Luis Garcia Throws Bullpen Session

Houston Astros starting pitcher Luis Garcia (elbow) was able to throw a successful bullpen session on Thursday. The right-hander will begin the season on the injured list as he continues to recover from Tommy John surgery. The hope is that Garcia is able to contribute at some point during the summer. Before going down, Garcia […]

New York Yankees starting pitcher JT Brubaker (back) was forced to exit early on Friday after getting hit by a comebacker on the mound.

Taurean Prince Sidelined On Friday

The Milwaukee Bucks announced forward Taurean Prince (ankle) won't play Friday against the Washington Wizards. Prince was considered probable earlier in the day, but he's since been scratched due to a left ankle sprain. Friday's contest will be the first he's missed, as he's played in all 54 Milwaukee games this season. With the 30-year-old veteran on […]

Adrian Del Castillo Dealing With Arm Fatigue

Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Adrian Del Castillo (arm) has been dealing with arm fatigue to begin the spring. He underwent testing which didn't reveal any significant damage, so Del Castillo is believed to be dealing with a minor issue. For now, the D-Backs have decided to play it safe and limited Del Castillo to designated hitter […]

Panthers Release Dane Jackson

The Carolina Panthers released veteran cornerback Dane Jackson on Friday, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Jackson signed with the Panthers last spring after spending four years with the Buffalo Bills. It's pretty much a no-brainer move for the Panthers to save a little bit of salary cap space in 2025 after Jackson played in only […]

Jordan Montgomery To Throw Bullpen Session On Saturday

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Jordan Montgomery (finger) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Saturday. The left-hander has been delayed to start the spring due to a lingering finger issue. The hope is that Montgomery will be able to get back on the mound soon.

Bears Releasing Gerald Everett

The Chicago Bears informed veteran tight end Gerald Everett on Friday that he is being released after one season, according to The 33rd Team's Ari Meirov.

MacKenzie Gore Pushed Back, Jake Irvin To Start Spring Opener

The Washington Nationals previously named left-hander MacKenzie Gore as the starter for their Grapefruit League opener on Saturday against the Houston Astros, but he's being pushed back because he wants to be able to go two innings in his debut. Instead, right-hander Jake Irvin will make the start on Saturday. Gore and Irvin will be […]

The Philadelphia Phillies plan to start right-handed relief pitcher Nabil Crismatt in their Grapefruit League opener on Saturday against the Detroit Tigers.

[…]

Weston Wilson Injures Oblique On Friday

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Weston Wilson (oblique) felt something in his oblique while taking swings in the batting cage at camp on Friday morning. The severity of Wilson's injury is unknown, but he'll likely go for testing to determine if he'll need to miss any time in spring training. If it's an oblique injury, the 30-year-old […]

Vince Williams Jr. Considered Questionable Against Magic

Memphis Grizzlies forward Vince Williams Jr. (knee) has received a questionable status for Friday's matchup with the Orlando Magic. The 24-year-old has struggled mightily with injuries all season but has played in four of the team's last five games. He did, however, sit out of one half of their last back-to-back, so it wouldn't be […]

Manuel Margot Joins Brewers

The Milwaukee Brewers have added free-agent outfielder Manuel Margot on an undisclosed deal, and he was spotted walking through the team's clubhouse at spring training on Friday. Margot was likely added on a minor-league deal to add depth to an already crowded Brewers outfield. The 30-year-old Dominican became a free agent in the offseason when […]

Joey Ortiz To Start At Shortstop In Cactus League Opener

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Joey Ortiz is penciled in to start at shortstop and hit sixth in the team's Cactus League opener on Saturday against the division-rival Cincinnati Reds. Fantasy managers should take Milwaukee's first spring lineup with a grain of salt, but it's interesting that Ortiz will make the start at the 6 in the […]

Jalen Suggs Remains Out Against Grizzlies

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (quad) will remain sidelined on Friday against the Memphis Grizzlies, which comes as no surprise after head coach Jamahl Mosley's recent comments. While the team waits for the green light to allow Suggs to compete in contact drills in practice, Cole Anthony will remain the starter while the bench minutes […]

Alec Marsh To Throw Bullpen On Friday

Kansas City Royals right-hander Alec Marsh (shoulder) is scheduled to throw his first bullpen session of the spring on Friday after he experienced right-shoulder soreness in the early portion of his offseason throwing program.

Fred VanVleet Ruled Out On Friday

Houston Rockets guard Fred VanVleet (ankle) was originally considered a game-time decision, according to head coach Ime Udoka.

Outside of VanVleet, this is the healthiest the Rockets' main rotation […]

Kansas City Royals infielder Jonathan India will hit leadoff and start in left field in the team's Cactus League opener on Friday against the Texas Rangers at Surprise Stadium.
