RJ Barrett Remains Unavailable Sunday

Toronto Raptors guard/forward RJ Barrett (personal) will remain out of the lineup on Sunday against Orlando. He's mourning the passing of his younger brother and is without a timeline for a return.

Kristaps Porzingis Will Remain Out Against Washington

Boston Celtics forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) will remain sidelined for Sunday's contest against Washington. Porzingis misses a chance to face his former team due to a right hamstring strain, sitting out a fifth consecutive game. He's missed a week of action with the injury but shouldn't be out for much longer, as Boston considers him […]

Derrick White Misses Sunday's Game

Boston Celtics guard Derrick White (hand) won't feature against Washington on Sunday. The C's kick off a back-to-back in D.C., and White will be kept out of the lineup with a left-hand sprain.

Marvin Bagley III Continues To Sit On Sunday

Washington Wizards forward/center Marvin Bagley III (back) will miss a seventh straight game on Sunday versus the Celtics. The big man remains on the injury report with lower back spasms and will get his next opportunity to return on Tuesday in a matchup against Houston.

Tyus Jones Not Ready To Return On Sunday

Washington Wizards point guard Tyus Jones (back) will be out for a second consecutive game on Sunday versus Boston.

Deni Avdija Remains Out On Sunday

The San Diego Padres are close to a deal with free-agent outfielder Tommy Pham, according to Bob Nightengale. The expectation is that it'll be a cheap one-year contract. The Padres could use the help in the outfield as this team does lack depth there. Currently, Jurickson Profar is penciled in as the everyday left fielder. […]

Braden Shewmake Out For Multiple Weeks

Chicago White Sox infielder Braden Shewmake (ankle) doesn't look like he's going to be ready in time for Opening Day. The 26-year-old has suffered a left ankle sprain that is going to sideline him for 2-4 weeks of action. That's a shame considering Shewmake was looking like a lock to make the Opening Day roster. […]

Jameson Taillon Could Throw Soon

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Jameson Taillon (back) is already in jeopardy of missing Opening Day. The good news is Taillon is expected to throw off the mound on Tuesday or Wednesday. The right-hander has reportedly responded well to treatment, so hopefully he won't be forced to miss an extended time. The Cubs have options such […]

Nick Lodolo Looks Good In Return

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Nick Lodolo (leg) made his return to the mound during Saturday's exhibition contest against the Seattle Mariners.

DJ LeMahieu Avoids Serious Injury

New York Yankees second baseman DJ LeMahieu (foot) was forced to exit early during Saturday's game. The veteran slugger fouled a ball off his right foot and underwent imaging this weekend.

Cal Raleigh Returning On Sunday

Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh (heel) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's spring training contest against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Raleigh will be back in the lineup after sitting out of Saturday's game due to a minor heel issue. The 27-year-old will bat fifth and be behind the plate for Sunday's contest. Raleigh […]

Jose Leclerc Likely To Be Closer

Texas Rangers relief pitcher Jose Leclerc has a strong possibility of opening the regular season as the team's closer, according to manager Bruce Bochy. The 30-year-old ended last season as the closer and appears in a good spot to keep that role. Last season, Leclerc finished with a 2.68 ERA, 2.14 WHIP, and 67 strikeouts […]

Bam Adebayo Will Play Against Detroit

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (back) will play on Sunday in the rematch with the Pistons. He's been bothered by a back contusion of late.

However, Doncic is good to go after entering this contest with a […]

Jimmy Butler Sidelined Versus Detroit

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (foot) won't play on Sunday in the rematch with Detroit. Butler has been banged up all season, which is nothing unusual. While he's just as productive as ever, he'll miss his 20th game versus the Pistons. It appears there's a chance he'll be back in the lineup on Monday versus […]

Oren Burks Signs One-Year Deal With Eagles

Former San Francisco 49ers linebacker Oren Burks signed a one-year deal worth up to $2.5 million with the Philadelphia Eagles on Saturday, according to a source.

Colts, Titans The Top Players For L'Jarius Sneed

The Indianapolis Colts and Tennessee Titans are two of the top teams trying to trade for Kansas City Chiefs cornerback L'Jarius Sneed this offseason, but Sneed's asking price is too high right now, according to a source.
