Richie Palacios Needs More Time To Build Up

Tampa Bay Rays infielder/outfielder Richie Palacios (finger), who is rehabbing from a fractured right ring finger, is still waiting for his full grip strength to return. The extended down time means Palacios will likely need more time to build back up, which will make for a longer injured-list stint that the team initially expected. Palacios […]

Phillies Looking To Get Edmundo Sosa More Playing Time

Philadelphia Phillies manager Rob Thomson sounds inclined to find more at-bats for infielder Edmundo Sosa, even when the team isn't facing a left-handed starter. Sosa will be in the lineup on Tuesday against the division-rival Atlanta Braves with left-hander Chris Sale on the mound, but it remains to be seen who he'll replace. It could […]

Jordan Romano To Be Demoted To Low-Leverage Work?

Philadelphia Phillies manager Rob Thomson summoned right-handed reliever Jordan Romano for the seventh inning on Sunday against the Los Angels Dodgers with a two-run lead. And one batter into his outing, the Phillies had action in the bullpen. Romano couldn't crack 94 mph with his fastball, and his diminished velocity was a problem. The 31-year-old […]

Andrew Painter Scheduled To Make Start At Single-A On Friday

Philadelphia Phillies pitching prospect Andrew Painter is scheduled to make a start for Single-A Clearwater on Friday, April 11, according to manager Rob Thomson.

Carlos Narvaez Moving Into Starting Role In Boston

With Boston Red Sox catcher Connor Wong (finger) heading to the 10-day injured list due to a fractured left pinkie finger that he suffered in Monday's 6-2 loss to the division-rival Toronto Blue Jays, Carlos Narvaez is the presumed starter, according to MassLive's Chris Cotillo. Blake Sabol is also on the 40-man roster, though, and […]

Joe Musgrove Plays Light Catch

San Diego Padres right-hander Joe Musgrove (elbow) played light catch on Monday for the first time since undergoing Tommy John surgery last October. Musgrove was pretty fired up about it and said, "I'm just thinking of all the hard work I've done over the last six months." It's a big step for the 32-year-old veteran, […]

Connor Wong Suffers Fractured Finger, Heading To Injured List

Updating a previous report, Boston Red Sox catcher Connor Wong (finger) suffered a fractured left finger in Monday's series opener against the division-rival Toronto Blue Jays at Fenway Park and will land on the 10-day injured list. Manager Alex Cora said the team hasn't decided on a corresponding move, but it will likely be Blake […]

Nicolas Claxton Back In Action Tuesday

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (rest) is not listed on the injury report for Tuesday's contest against the New Orleans Pelicans. The lanky big man looks set to return to action after missing Sunday's meeting with the Toronto Raptors for rest purposes. Drew Timme replaced Claxton in the starting lineup on Sunday, notching 13 points […]

Sahith Theegala Trying To Find 2023 Augusta Form

Sahith Theegala is technically trying to find his game from 2024. The American golfer from Orange, California has felt snowed under in 2025. Though he has made nine cuts in 10 events, Theegala has not truly contended anywhere. At the Farmers Insurance Open, his 80 dashed a potential Top 10 result. It always seems to […]

Day'Ron Sharpe To Remain Out On Tuesday

Brooklyn Nets center Day'Ron Sharpe (knee) will be sidelined for a seventh straight game on Tuesday against the New Orleans Pelicans. The big man has been unavailable for a couple of weeks due to a right knee sprain. Brooklyn has lost Noah Clowney (ankle) for the season, leaving Drew Timme and Trendon Watford as the […]

Casey Mize Posts Six Strong Innings

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Casey Mize was sharp on the mound during Monday's game against the New York Yankees. The right-hander posted six innings, one earned run, while striking out six batters in the win. It wasn't a perfect day for Mize who did allow three walks and four hits, but he was able to […]

Keon Johnson To Be Rested Tuesday

Brooklyn Nets guard Keon Johnson (rest) will take the night off on Tuesday against the New Orleans Pelicans. Johnson has been ever-present for the Nets since Nov. 22, and the team has decided to give him some rest. D'Angelo Russell (ankle) has also been ruled out for Tuesday's contest, leading to many additional playing opportunities […]

Patrick Reed A Wild Card For The Masters

People forget Patrick Reed existed. The American golfer makes his 2025 debut at Augusta. Reed is one of those golfers that just lives and breathes the Augusta National Golf Club course. He has four Top 12 results in his last six appearances. Reed possesses one of the best short games heading into the event. Even […]

Kevin Ginkel To Throw Bullpen Session On Tuesday

Arizona Diamondbacks relief pitcher Kevin Ginkel (shoulder) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Tuesday. This is a good step forward as Ginkel has been sidelined to open the season with right shoulder inflammation. The D-Backs are certainly excited to get Ginkel back soon considering he was one of their last relief pitchers last […]

D'Angelo Russell Unavailable Against Pelicans

Brooklyn Nets point guard D'Angelo Russell (ankle) will not play in Tuesday's contest against the New Orleans Pelicans. Ever since he returned to Brooklyn, Russell has been in and out of the lineup due to various health issues, and he is currently nursing a right ankle sprain. Reece Beekman has just logged his first career […]

Cameron Johnson Misses Fourth Consecutive Game

Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (back) will remain on the shelf for Tuesday's meeting with the New Orleans Pelicans. He is struggling to recover from a lower back injury, and with only a few games left in the regular season, it would not be surprising if the Nets go the rest of the way without […]

Easton Lucas Named Tuesday's Starter

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Easton Lucas will get the starting nod against the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday. The right-hander received an extra day of rest with Jose Berrios moving up to start on Monday. Lucas looked good during his season debut against the Washington Nationals. He tossed five scoreless innings, allowing one hit, […]

Tom Kim Trying To Get Off To Better Start At Augusta

Tom Kim has been getting off to some bad starts opening tournaments. The South Korean golfer shot a 77 in Round 1 of the Valero Texas Open.. He could not recover well enough on Friday and missed his third cut of 2025. Kim does have three wins on the PGA Tour including twice at the […]

Ben Sheppard Questionable For Tuesday

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Ben Sheppard (toe) has been labeled as questionable for Tuesday's tilt against the Washington Wizards. A toe injury might lead to a second consecutive absence for Sheppard, who is averaging 5.3 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 1.3 steals in 19.5 minutes for the season. Sheppard is a valuable member of the rotation, but […]

Jake Fraley Scratched From Monday's Lineup

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Jake Fraley (side) has been scratched from the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the San Francisco Giants. He was slated to start in right field and bat eighth, but has been pulled from the lineup due left side pain. Fraley should be considered as day-to-day, but fantasy managers shouldn't be […]

Pascal Siakam Could Be Out For Second Straight Game

Indiana Pacers forward/center Pascal Siakam (elbow) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Washington Wizards. Siakam missed only his second game of the season on Sunday against the Denver Nuggets when he had to depart the lineup due to an elbow injury. Obi Toppin moved into the starting unit and had a big game with […]

Tom Hoge Hot Heading To Augusta

While Tom Hoge has not won a tournament in 2025, he has enjoyed an excellent season. The American golfer has three Top 10 results and only one missed cut. Hoge nearly won The Players Championship but settled for T-3. At the Valero Texas Open, Hoge could not quite survive the chaotic Sunday, shot a 75, […]

Spencer Arrighetti Suffers Broken Thumb

Houston Astros starting pitcher Spencer Arrighetti (thumb) was struck in the pitching hand by a line drive while playing catch during batting practice on Monday. It was a freak accident that resulted in Arrighetti breaking his right hand. Ouch, Arrighetti is looking at an extended absence as he could require surgery to fix the issue. […]

Amir Coffey Out Against Spurs

Los Angeles Clippers forward Amir Coffey (knee) will miss a fifth consecutive game on Tuesday against the San Antonio Spurs. He is dealing with inflammation in his left knee. Coffey has been a useful piece in the rotation for the Clippers this season, averaging 9.8 points in 24.6 minutes. However, his playing time has decreased […]

Connor Wong Removed Early On Monday

Boston Red Sox catcher Connor Wong (hand) has been removed early during Monday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. Wong was hit in the hand on a catcher's interference play during the first inning. He suffered a right hand contusion when George Springer hit him in the glove hand, which led to him being replaced. […]

Kawhi Leonard May Sit Out Tuesday's Game

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) has been tagged as questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the San Antonio Spurs. Last week, Leonard played both legs of a back-to-back for the first time this season, but the Clippers once again have two games in as many nights, and the team may want to give the […]

Trae Young Tagged As Probable For Tuesday

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young (Achilles) is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Orlando Magic. It's reasonable to assume Young will play, as he has been on the injury report with right Achilles tendinitis all season, while missing only a handful of games. Young saw his season-best double-double streak come to an […]

Miles McBride Likely To Play Against Celtics

New York Knicks guard Miles McBride (groin) is listed as probable for Tuesday's big tilt against the Boston Celtics. On Sunday against the Phoenix Suns, McBride returned to action following an eight-game absence, but he is still listed on the injury report with a groin problem. If McBride is dealt a setback ahead of Tuesday's […]
