Tanner Rainey Not Worried About Velocity

Washington Nationals right-hander Tanner Rainey, who returned late last year from Tommy John surgery, had a perfect inning in his Grapefruit League outing on Thursday and threw only nine pitches (six strikes). His fastball topped out at 92 mph, though, which was a bit alarming since he averaged 97 mph on his fastball before his […]

Matt Schnell Looks To Get Back In Win Column

Matt Schnell (16-7) is set to open the UFC Vegas 87 main card on Saturday against Steve Erceg. Schnell makes his return to the octagon for the first time since a knockout loss to Matheus Nicolau in December of 2022. The pair have history, with Schnell pulling out of their scheduled bout in November. DraftKings […]

Kyle Finnegan Evolving With New Sweeper

Washington Nationals reliever Kyle Finnegan tried out a new sweeper for the first time in a Grapefruit League game on Wednesday. "Finnegan's always been toying around with trying to get a third pitch," manager Davey Martinez said. "Cause everything he throws is hard. So, he wanted to create some kind of deception, more or less." […]

Josh Naylor Goes 1-for-3 On Wednesday

Cleveland Guardians first baseman Josh Naylor went 1-for-3 on Wednesday in an 8-6 Cactus League loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks. He's now 3-for-7 in three spring games, with all three hits being singles. Although he's been caught stealing once as well, it's good to see he's still running in 2024, as his 10 stolen bases […]

Steve Erceg A Favorite At UFC Vegas 87

Flyweight prospect Steve Erceg (11-1) and Matt Schnell are set to face off at UFC Vegas 87 on Saturday. The pair was originally scheduled to square off at UFC 295 last November in New York but, the bout didn't go ahead after Schnell withdrew due to unknown reasons. Erceg remained on the UFC 295 card, […]

Joey Gallo Dealing With Sore Quad

Washington Nationals outfielder/designated hitter Joey Gallo (quadriceps) has a sore quadriceps in camp and is only hitting right now, according to manager Dave Martinez. The skipper doesn't think it's a huge deal and thinks Gallo might be able to get into Grapefruit League games next week if all goes well. Martinez described it as the […]

Tristan Beck Needs Surgery On His Arm

San Francisco Giants right-hander Tristan Beck (arm) said he will undergo vascular surgery at Stanford University on Monday to address the aneurysm in his upper right arm. Beck was dealing with an arm injury in camp and was diagnosed with the aneurysm this week. Now that he's being forced to have surgery, there's a good […]

Justin Verlander To Throw Another Bullpen Sunday

Houston Astros right-hander Justin Verlander (shoulder) will throw another bullpen session in camp on Sunday, and the Astros will determine Verlander's next step after that. The next step in his progression will be to get cleared to face live hitters, but the Astros aren't going to rush the 41-year-old, especially given all of his injuries […]

Gunnar Henderson Taking Live Batting Practice

Baltimore Orioles third baseman Gunnar Henderson (oblique) is taking live batting practice in camp on Friday for the first time since dealing with a sore oblique muscle early in spring training. Henderson said it shouldn't be much longer before he makes his Grapefruit League debut. Barring a setback of some sort, the 22-year-old youngster will […]

Alex Caruso Iffy Against Bucks On Friday

Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (hamstring) has been tagged as questionable for the late-night game against the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday. The do-it-all wing is dealing with a right hamstring strain which can be one of the trickier injuries. He was unable to suit up in their last game against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday, […]

Kerry Carpenter To Run The Bases Friday

Detroit Tigers outfielder Kerry Carpenter (hamstring), who has been facing live pitching on the back fields at camp, will continue his return-to-play progression by running the bases on Friday. Carpenter has been dealing with a left-hamstring strain that he suffered last week. While the 26-year-old has been held out of Grapefruit League games, he could […]

Kyle Anderson Not Expected To Play On Friday

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Kyle Anderson (knee) has been listed as doubtful on Friday while he suffers from a left knee sprain. The 30-year-old wasn't able to play in their last game either and it looks like his inactive streak will at least stretch to two games. Anderson's playing time has dwindled this season which has […]

Tarik Skubal To Start On Opening Day

Detroit Tigers left-hander Tarik Skubal will start the team's Opening Day game on March 28 against the Chicago White Sox, according to manager A.J. Hinch. Skubal only made 15 starts for the Tigers last year after he got a late start to the season due to flexor-tendon surgery on his arm, but he was strong […]

NASCAR Truck Series: DraftKings DFS Preview for Las Vegas Victoria's Voice Foundation 200 (3/1/24)

Luke Kennard, John Konchar Both Doubtful To Play Friday

Memphis Grizzlies guards Luke Kennard (illness) and John Konchar (thumb) have both been listed as doubtful ahead of their Friday night matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers. This is likely going to be Konchar's third consecutive missed game and Kennard's second. With a team as banged up as the Grizzlies, they would have both seen […]

Red Sox Add C.J. Cron On Minor-League Deal

The Boston Red Sox have signed veteran first baseman C.J. Cron to a minor-league contract, and he's expected to compete for a roster spot. Cron is a former All-Star (2022) known more for his power, hitting 28 and 29 home runs in his last two full seasons in Colorado. Last season, Cron missed time due […]

GG Jackson II Questionable On Friday Versus Trail Blazers

Memphis Grizzlies forward GG Jackson II (quad) has popped up on the injury report again as he deals with a right quad contusion and has been listed as questionable. The Grizzlies currently have nine players listed as out or doubtful right now, so if Jackson can suit up, he should still see north of 25 […]

Moses Brown Has A Chance To Return On Friday

Portland Trail Blazers center Moses Brown (wrist) is officially questionable for Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies, which could potentially be his first game back since Jan. 1 after suffering a fractured wrist. In the last four games that he did appear in, he was a starter but didn't get any more than 15 minutes […]

Aaron Nesmith Draws Questionable Tag Friday

Indiana Pacers forward Aaron Nesmith (ankle) has been tagged as questionable against the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday. The 24-year-old wing hasn't played in the team's last four games while he tends to a sprained right ankle, and he may be forced to miss a fifth. He'll likely test it out during shootaround and warmup […]

Doug McDermott Won't Suit Up Against Pelicans

Indiana Pacers forward Doug McDermott (calf) will miss his second consecutive game after officially being ruled out for their game on Friday night. "Dougie McBuckets" has seen very inconsistent playing time since joining the Pacers after the trade deadline. His time on the court depends on both matchups and the health of the rest of […]

Slow Start For Ozzie Albies Continues Thursday

Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies went 0-for-3 on Thursday in a 5-0 Grapefruit League win over the Minnesota Twins. Albies is now 0-for-7 in three spring games with two strikeouts. Hopefully the 3x All-Star is just shaking off the rust. As the No. 1 second baseman coming off draft boards, managers would like to […]

Dereck Lively II Available Against Celtics

Dallas Mavericks center Dereck Lively II (nose) has been deemed available for their contest against the Boston Celtics on Friday.

Marcus Sasser Ruled Out Again On Friday

Detroit Pistons guard Marcus Sasser (knee) has been ruled out for his fourth consecutive game ahead of their Friday night matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
