Philip Tomasino Back In Action Thursday

Nashville Predators right wing Philip Tomasino (upper body) is set to return to the lineup Thursday against Arizona. The 21-year-old was forced to miss Monday's game against Vancouver with an upper-body injury but has recovered quickly and will play his 11th game of the season. Tomasino has done pretty well in limited action, posting two […]

Third Basemen to Target or Avoid at ADP - Fantasy Baseball Draft Analysis

We continue our ADP positional series with the always interesting hot corner. This position has long been known for power and elite, top-end talent. That's still the case in 2023, but the problem is this position dries up more quickly than it used to. Let's begin by taking a look at third base ADP since […]

Jordan Binnington Starting Thursday Against San Jose

St. Louis Blues goalie Jordan Binnington's struggles continued in his last outing against Arizona, as he allowed six goals on 27 shots, resulting in his fifth consecutive loss. The 29-year-old goaltender is having a season he would like to forget in 2022-23, recording a disappointing 21-23-5 record, a 3.34 goals-against-average, and a .893 save percentage. […]

Stuart Skinner Tending Twine Thursday

Edmonton Oilers goalie Stuart Skinner is coming off a third consecutive win, having stopped 37 out of 39 shots in his previous start against Buffalo. Despite not having high expectations going into the season, the 24-year-old goaltender from Edmonton has been impressively solid for the Oilers, amassing an 18-13-4 record, a 2.86 goals-against-average, and a […]

Felix Sandstrom Minding The Crease Thursday

Philadelphia Flyers goalie Felix Sandstrom has struggled. His last appearance for the team was on February 12th, where he suffered his sixth consecutive loss by conceding four goals on 21 shots against Seattle. The 26-year-old goaltender has a lackluster 1-8-1 record, a 3.52 goals-against-average, and a .880 save percentage. He could pick up another loss […]

Jake Oettinger Between The Pipes Against Buffalo

Dallas Stars goalie Jake Oettinger, who let in five goals on 37 shots last start, will aim to rebound and extend his career-high number of games played this season when he starts on Thursday against Buffalo. Despite his recent setback, the 24-year-old has been having his best season yet, boasting impressive stats, including a 26-9-10 […]

Jonathan Quick Starting Thursday Against Tampa Bay

Vegas Golden Knights goalie Jonathan Quick will get his second start since joining the team. He will face the Tampa Bay Lightning on Thursday, who are desperate for wins after losing five of six games. Quick won his first start as a Vegas tender making 25 saves on 28 shots and beating Montreal 4-3 on […]

Mike Yastrzemski (OF, SFG) - 2023 Fantasy Baseball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~pick 400 CURRENT ADP: ~430 overall ANALYSIS: Things went horribly for Yastrzemski last year, as he had the worst year of his young career by far, slashing .214/.305/.392. His career line now sits at .242/.326/.465 - so that itself is enough reason to believe in a bounce-back campaign is on the […]

Will Matt Corral Be Ready By Training Camp? Fantasy Football Injury Update

Carolina Panthers quarterback Matt Corral missed all of the 2022 season with a foot injury. While Carolina is widely expected to address the quarterback position either via free agency or the draft this offseason, the team will also hope to have Corral in the mix as depth as they gear up for the 2023 season. […]

Wendell Carter Jr. Out Again Thursday

Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. (hip) will miss a third consecutive contest Thursday against Utah. He's feeling pain in his left hip and playing basketball in such a predicament clearly isn't a good idea. Fantasy managers should focus on Moritz Wagner until Carter Jr. is healthy enough to return. He has started the last […]

Aaron Nesmith Questionable For Thursday

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Aaron Nesmith (hip) could miss a third consecutive game Thursday against Houston, as the team considers him questionable for the contest. The 23-year-old is recovering from a sore left hip. Nesmith is far from a household name, but he has been starting regularly for the Pacers since mid-December, putting in decent work. […]

Sean Bouchard Needs Surgery On Biceps

Colorado Rockies outfielder Sean Bouchard (biceps) was diagnosed with a left distal biceps rupture, which means surgery. Bouchard and the Rockies are holding out hope he won't miss the entire 2023 season. He was injured in the first inning of the team's Cactus League game on Wednesday against the Los Angeles Angels. Even if the […]

Kevin Porter Jr. Sits Out Thursday's Action

Houston Rockets point guard Kevin Porter Jr. (thigh) won't play Thursday against Indiana. A bruised thigh kept him out of Wednesday's practice and Porter Jr. sadly has to sit out Thursday's contest just a week after returning from a 20-game absence. Jalen Green and Alperen Sengun get a usage bump with Porter Jr. sidelines, while […]

Carlos Santana (1B, PIT) - 2023 Fantasy Baseball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~pick 450 CURRENT ADP: ~540 overall ANALYSIS: I'm beating the "shift ban" drum here, but Santana is set to benefit from that as the league shifted on him in nearly all of his PAs as a lefty last year. The Pirates saw an opportunity there and scooped him up, and PNC […]

Aaron Bummer Throws First Bullpen Thursday

Chicago White Sox relief pitcher Aaron Bummer (lat) threw his first bullpen session on Thursday at normal effort. Bummer said he'll have to see how he recovers on Friday, but the session went off as planned and he's feeling good. The 29-year-old left-hander entered spring training with some soreness in his left lat, so the […]

Killian Hayes On Track To Return Thursday

Detroit Pistons guard Killian Hayes (hand) is set to return from a two-game absence Thursday versus the Hornets, with the team listing him as probable for the contest. The 21-year-old has been nursing a left hand contusion. Cory Joseph has had a couple of busy nights in Hayes' absence but will have to settle for […]

Carlos Correa Leaves Camp For Birth Of Child

Minnesota Twins shortstop Carlos Correa has left the team's spring training camp for the birth of his second son, Kenzo. Correa shouldn't be away from the team for more than a few days. The 28-year-old had a very eventful offseason, almost landing two giant free-agent deals with the San Francisco Giants and New York Mets […]

Alec Burks Remains Unavailable Thursday

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Alec Burks (foot) will miss a second consecutive game Thursday against Charlotte. Burks is bothered by a sore left foot and will be unavailable for a third time in four games. The 31-year-old has had a good year in Motown, averaging 12.8 points in 22.0 minutes. Cory Joseph, R.J. Hampton and Rodney […]

Collin Snider Looking Good This Spring

Kansas City Royals relief pitcher Collin Snider has looked good so far in Cactus League games, allowing just one hit and no runs while walking none and striking out three in three relief innings to this point. The 27-year-old right-hander is unlikely to have a high-leverage role in KC's bullpen in 2023, but he's one […]

Bojan Bogdanovic Out For A Fourth Consecutive Game

Detroit Pistons forward Bojan Bogdanovic (Achilles) has been officially ruled out for a fourth consecutive game Thursday. Some reports are even suggesting that Bogdanovic won't feature at all this season anymore, so we might have seen the last of him in 2022-23. The veteran has enjoyed his first year in Detroit, leading the Pistons with […]

Scott Effross Resumes Throwing Program

New York Yankees relief pitcher Scott Effross (elbow), who had Tommy John surgery last October, started a throwing program on Monday. He's still in the early going of his rehab from elbow reconstruction. There's a chance that the 29-year-old right-hander could make it back for the Yankees at the tail end of the 2023 season, […]

Jrue Holiday Back On Thursday

Milwaukee Bucks point guard Jrue Holiday (neck) will be back from a one-game absence Thursday against the Nets. He was already probable for the contest and it's now official that Holiday has recovered well enough from neck soreness to take the court. With Giannis Antetokounmpo (hand) having been ruled out of the contest, Holiday is […]

Masyn Winn Impressing In Camp

St. Louis Cardinals shortstop prospect Masyn Winn has been turning heads in spring training so far. So far in Grapefruit League play, he's gone 7-for-18 (.389) with a homer, double, two RBI, five runs scored and three stolen bases in seven games played. It's nice to see, but the 20-year-old has yet to play at […]

Josh VanMeter Scratched With Leg Tendinitis

Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Josh VanMeter (leg) was scratched from the Cactus League lineup on Thursday against the San Francisco Giants due to lower left leg tendinitis. In his place, Andruw Monasterio will start at the keystone and hit eighth against Giants right-hander Sean Hjelle. The 27-year-old VanMeter is in spring training with the Brew […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Ruled Out Thursday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (hand) has been ruled out for Thursday's meeting with Brooklyn. He was initially probable for the contest with a non-COVID illness and a knee issue, but Giannis has now hurt his right hand and it forces him to sit out a second consecutive game. His absence should result in another […]

Michael Conforto Playing The Outfield Thursday

San Francisco Giants outfielder Michael Conforto (shoulder) is playing the outfield in a Cactus League game on Thursday for the first time since 2021. He's officially starting in right field and batting leadoff against the Milwaukee Brewers and right-hander Freddy Peralta. Conforto's shoulder rehab has gone well in spring training, so he'll be a real […]

Samson Ebukam Could Cash In As A Free Agent

San Francisco 49ers impending free-agent pass-rusher Samson Ebukam isn't a household name, but he's getting some buzz in early March and could earn somewhere in the double-digit millions per year on the free-agent market this offseason. He had five sacks with the Niners last year and played really well in an expanded role. The 27-year-old […]

Cardinals Could Go After James Bradberry

The Arizona Cardinals could have interest in Philadelphia Eagles impending free-agent cornerback James Bradberry this offseason. Bradberry was with new Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon in Philadelphia in 2022. However, the Cardinals are clearly in a rebuilding phase, so their spending plan in free agency this year remains a mystery. The 29-year-old had a crucial […]

Harrison Smith Could Be Restructured

Minnesota Vikings safety Harrison Smith ($19.1 million salary cap hit in 2023) could be asked by the team to restructure his contract this offseason or take a pay cut. Smith is expected to remain with the organization in 2023, even if it's with a reworked salary. The biggest cap casualty for the Vikings could be […]
