Tyler Matzek Back After Tommy John Surgery

Atlanta Braves left-hander Tyler Matzek (elbow) is back this year after missing all of last season and the last two postseasons while recovering from Tommy John surgery in October of 2022. Matzek threw two perfect innings with four strikeouts in a Grapefruit League game on Sunday to erase any questions about whether he'd need a […]

Steven Sims Returning To Texans

The Houston Texans have re-signed wide receiver Steven Sims to a one-year deal on Wednesday. Sims was cut by the Texans during training camp last season but ended up joining the practice squad later in the year. He was quiet as a receiver but has been used more as a punt returner. Sims has been […]

Matt McLain Won't Be Ready For Opening Day

Cincinnati Reds manager David Bell said that that second baseman Matt McLain (shoulder) won't be ready for Opening Day on March 28. "I think it's safe to say he's not going to be ready to start the season," Bell said. After being scratched from a Cactus League game on Monday due to left-shoulder soreness, McLain […]

Michael Gallup To Visit With Ravens

The Baltimore Ravens have reportedly scheduled a visit with free-agent wide receiver Michael Gallup. The veteran wideout was recently cut by the Dallas Cowboys after another quiet season in 2023. Despite that, Gallup appears to have multiple interested suitors as the Carolina Panthers have scheduled a visit as well. The 28-year-old hasn't produced a season […]

Sawyer Gipson-Long Throws Live Batting Practice

Detroit Tigers right-handed rookie Sawyer Gipson-Long (groin), who has been dealing with a left-groin strain since the start of spring training, was scheduled to throw a live batting practice session in camp on Wednesday in Lakeland, Florida. Gipson-Long's groin injury has prevented him from competing for a starting spot to begin the 2024 regular season, […]

Gio Urshela Hasn't Locked Down Starting Duties At Third Base

When the Detroit Tigers signed infielder Gio Urshela to a one-year, $1.5 million deal late in February, having him serve as the primary third baseman in 2024 always made the most sense but the Tigers didn't make any declarations about his playing time because they needed to evaluate his on-field performance in his return from […]

Carson Kelly Likely To See Increased Role

Detroit Tigers catcher Carson Kelly has impressed the organization with his play during spring training. He has been a solid defender and is slashing .290/.353/.869 with two homers and five RBI this spring. Tigers manager A.J. Hinch recently said that Kelly could get a good chunk of playing time this season. Kelly was once a […]

Zeke Nnaji Questionable For Thursday

Denver Nuggets forward/center Zeke Nnaji (back) is questionable for Thursday's tilt against the New York Knicks. He's suffering from lower back pain. The 23-year-old rarely sees over 10 minutes in a game, and he is averaging 3.2 points per contest. Nnaji's absence won't impact the Nuggets in any way, and the 2020 first-round draft pick […]

Sonny Gray To Face Hitters On Friday

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Sonny Gray (hamstring) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Wednesday. After that, Gray is expected to progress to facing live hitters on Friday. The 34-year-old has already been ruled out for Opening Day. Although, Gray may be able to avoid a trip to the injured list. The Cardinals […]

Kevin Gausman Likely To Be Skipped In Rotation

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Kevin Gausman (shoulder) appears to be making progress in his recovery process. The right-hander was able to throw a two-inning simulated game on Wednesday without any issues. Gausman won't be ready for Opening Day as he still needs to build up his stamina and pitch count. That being said, Gausman […]

Doug McDermott Available Versus Pacers

Indiana Pacers forward Doug McDermott (calf) is available Wednesday against the Detroit Pistons. The veteran sharpshooter last played on February 26th and missed 10 consecutive contests due to a right calf strain. He has been average for the Pacers this season. When healthy, McDermott has averaged 4.7 points and 1.0 assists in 13.3 minutes per […]

Josh Jung Likely To Be Ready For Opening Day

Texas Rangers third baseman Josh Jung (calf) is likely to be ready to play in time for Opening Day. There was some uncertainty surrounding Jung's status after manager Bruce Bochy expressed caution regarding his injury. The 26-year-old has been sidelined since early in camp due to a calf injury. It sounds like Jung is expected […]

John Collins Available On Wednesday

Utah Jazz forward/center John Collins (face) will play on Wednesday against Oklahoma City, with the team upgrading him from questionable to available. Collins should take his normal role as the starting center, meaning Walker Kessler will have to wait for another day to get a chance to ride with the starters. Utah will again be […]

Nathaniel Lowe Out Until Mid-April

Texas Rangers first baseman Nathaniel Lowe (oblique) won't be ready in time for Opening Day. The expectation was that Lowe would miss some time after suffering an oblique strain earlier in the month. Now, the Rangers are expecting Lowe to be sidelined until at least mid-April. The organization should give a better timetable later, but […]

Isaiah Stewart Done For Rest Of Season

Detroit Pistons forward/center Isaiah Stewart (hamstring) will miss the rest of the 2023-24 regular season. He suffered a right hamstring strain on Monday versus Boston, and the team has elected to shut him down. Stewart saw action in only 46 games during his fourth NBA season, posting 10.9 points with 6.6 rebounds. His absence should […]

Simone Fontecchio Unavailable Wednesday Against Indiana

Detroit Pistons forward Simone Fontecchio (toe) is ruled out for Wednesday's tilt with the Indiana Pacers. He will miss his third consecutive contest with a toe contusion. The Italian forward had been solid for the Pistons in March, averaging 15.7 points in 31.9 minutes before his injury. If the 28-year-old can return soon, he could […]

Michael Massey Considered Day-To-Day

Kansas City Royals infielder Michael Massey (back) has been sidelined since being scratched from the lineup ahead of Tuesday's game. The 25-year-old is reportedly dealing with lower-back tightness but is considered day-to-day. It sounds like Massey will continue to undergo treatment and will hopefully be ready to play in a few days. This spring, Massey […]

Nikola Jovic Back Versus Cleveland

Miami Heat forward Nikola Jovic (hamstring) will be available on Wednesday against Cleveland after missing the previous two games. He's shaken off a hamstring injury and a questionable tag. Jovic will likely make another start on Wednesday, with Kevin Love (heel) still out and Bam Adebayo (back) joining him on the shelf. However, Jovic's numbers […]

Sam Hauser To Remain Out On Wednesday

Boston Celtics forward Sam Hauser (ankle) will miss a second consecutive game on Wednesday against Milwaukee. The 26-year-old has landed on the shelf with a left ankle sprain, although Hauser was initially regarded as questionable for Wednesday, meaning he shouldn't be out for long. Hauser has massively benefited from Boston giving its big guns some […]

Louie Varland Struggles On Wednesday

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Louie Varland struggled to find much success during Wednesday's outing against the Detroit Tigers. The right-hander allowed eight hits and nine earned runs through four innings of work. Varland came into this game with a 11/1 K/BB ratio, but walked three during this outing. Despite this bad outing, Varland should still […]

Taj Gibson Ruled Out Wednesday

Detroit Pistons Forward Taj Gibson (hamstring) is unavailable for Wednesday's contest with the Indiana Pacers. Gibson has been suffering from right hamstring soreness. He's been playing on a 10-day contract after having the same agreement earlier in the season with the New York Knicks. On Monday, the veteran forward registered just three points, two rebounds, […]

Jaylen Brown Good To Go On Wednesday

Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (ankle) has been cleared to play Wednesday versus the Bucks. He's missed a couple of games recently with health issues but is good to go for a second consecutive contest on Wednesday. Brown has averaged only 18.0 points against Milwaukee this season, but he's been in much better form recently […]

Jrue Holiday Won't Play On Wednesday

Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday (shoulder) will miss a second consecutive game on Wednesday against Milwaukee. The team has downgraded him from questionable to out. Payton Pritchard, who's coming off a pair of very strong games, looks set for a large role again in the rotation with Holiday unavailable, especially as Sam Hauser (ankle) also […]

Joseph Woll Likely To Start Wednesday

Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Joseph Woll is likely to start Wednesday's road game against the Washington Capitals. It's the second game of a back-to-back for the Maple Leafs after dropping a 4-3 decision to the Flyers on Tuesday in Philadelphia. It's Woll's first start since March 7 as Ilya Samsonov has started the last four […]

Akim Aliu Signs AHL Deal With Sharks

The San Jose Sharks have signed former NHLer Akim Aliu to an American Hockey League tryout deal with the San Jose Barracuda, according to general manager Mike Grier. "We wanted to give him an opportunity to see what he can do," Grier said. The 30-year-old hasn't appeared in the NHL since skating five games with […]

Jimmy Butler Cleared For Action Wednesday

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (foot) will return to the lineup on Wednesday versus Cleveland. He will be back after missing two games with a foot contusion. We should see him take on a very large role, as Bam Adebayo (back) has been ruled out for the contest. Before getting hurt, Butler had upped his […]

Jameson Taillon Throws Bullpen On Wednesday

Chicago Cubs right-hander Jameson Taillon (back) threw a 10-pitch, touch-and-feel bullpen session in camp on Wednesday. Taillon is finally starting to work his way back after being shut down with a lower-back injury almost two weeks ago. As a result, the 32-year-old veteran will start the 2024 regular season on the injured list for the […]
