Sungjae Im Relying On Short Game

Sungjae Im has not gained more than 1.5 strokes on approach in any of his last five starts. Im will need to beat Patrick Cantlay, Seamus Power and Keith Mitchell if he wants to advance out of his group this week. He has been struggling with his irons for the last two months, which will […]

Lonzo Ball To Pause His Rehab

Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball (knee) will put his rehab stint on pause for at least the next 10 days. The young guard won't be running for at least another week or so, which is not great news for fantasy managers. Head coach Billy Donovan mentioned Ball's knee hasn't been responding well to rehab. At […]

Za'Darius Smith Agrees With Vikings

Free-agent linebacker Za'Darius Smith agreed to a three-year deal with a base value of $42 million with the Minnesota Vikings on Tuesday, according to a source.

Andrew Wiggins Listed As Probable Versus Magic

Golden State Warriors guard Andrew Wiggins (knee) has been tagged as probable for Tuesday's game against the Orlando Magic. He is dealing with a left knee contusion, but should be able to suit up here. Stephen Curry (foot) remains sidelined, so Wiggins and Klay Thompson will be asked to do the heavy lifting on offense. […]

Markelle Fultz Not On Injury Report For Tuesday

Orlando Magic guard Markelle Fultz (knee) is not on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. It's the front end of a back-to-back set, so fantasy managers should expect Fultz to suit up here. That means, he'll most likely be out for Wednesday's contest, but at least fantasy managers can […]

Marc Leishman Brings Complete Game To Match Play

Marc Leishman missed his first cut of the season at The Players Championship. He has six top-20 finishes in his 11 starts this season.

Jazz Chisholm Jr. Leaves Game Early Tuesday

Miami Marlins second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. (hand) left the spring training game early on Tuesday after taking a ground ball off his right hand. It's unclear how serious this injury is, so fantasy managers will want to check back on Chisholm's status. If the 24-year-old's injury is serious enough to keep him out for […]

Zach LaVine Considered Questionable For Tuesday

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (knee) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. It's the second game of a back-to-back set, so it wouldn't be surprising to see the Bulls rest their star guard. The playoffs are right around the corner, so Chicago wants to make sure LaVine is healthy for […]

Edwin Diaz Settles With Mets

The New York Mets avoided salary arbitration with closer Edwin Diaz on Tuesday by settling on a one-year, $10.2 million deal on his birthday.

Patrick Cantlay Struggling On Approach

Patrick Cantlay has only gained strokes with his irons in two of his six starts in the 2022 season. However, he has four top-10s in those starts while the rest of his game has been firing on all cylinders. He missed his first cut of the season at The Players Championship, where he lost strokes […]

Austin Meadows Avoids Arbitration

The Tampa Bay Rays and outfielder Austin Meadows avoided salary arbitration on Tuesday by agreeing to a one-year, $4 million deal.

Red Sox Avoid Arbitration With Alex Verdugo

The Boston Red Sox avoided salary arbitration with outfielder Alex Verdugo on Tuesday by agreeing to a one-year, $3.55 million deal.

Mike Yastrzemski Avoids Arbitration

The San Francisco Giants avoided salary arbitration with outfielder Mike Yastrzemski on Tuesday by agreeing to a one-year, $3.7 million deal.

Darin Ruf, Giants Agree To Extension

The San Francisco Giants and first baseman/outfielder Darin Ruf agreed to a two-year, $6.25 million contract extension on Tuesday, according to sources. The deal includes a third-year club option. The extension buys out Ruf's final two years of arbitration and potentially one free-agent season. In his second year with the Giants in 2021, the 35-year-old […]

Eric Lauer Scratched With Groin Pain

Milwaukee Brewers left-hander Eric Lauer (groin) was scratched from his spring start on Tuesday against the Chicago White Sox due to groin discomfort. He's expected to miss one turn and then get back on track, according to manager Craig Counsell. Right-hander Jason Alexander will get the start on Tuesday instead of Lauer. As long as […]

Justin Dunn Expected To Miss A Couple Months

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Justin Dunn (shoulder) is expected to miss a couple of months with a shoulder injury. Dunn was part of the package acquired from the Seattle Mariners in the trade that sent third baseman Eugenio Suarez and outfielder Jesse Winker to Seattle. The right-hander battled shoulder and control issues last year for […]

Luis Castillo Might Not Be Ready For Opening Day

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Luis Castillo (shoulder) was shut down for a day due to right shoulder soreness and may not be ready for the start of the season, according to manager David Bell. The right-hander has advanced to long toss and is moving in the right direction, but he may not have enough time […]

Brooks Koepka Needs To Find Consistency

Brooks Koepka will be in a group with Shane Lowry, Erik Van Rooyen and Harold Varner III at Austin County Club this week. Koepka salvaged a mediocre outing at the Valspar with a Sunday 65, two shots better than the next-lowest Round 4 score. His inconsistencies can be a concern heading into match play, as […]

Matt Chapman Agrees To Two-Year Extension

The Toronto Blue Jays and third baseman Matt Chapman have agreed to a two-year, $25 million contract extension on Tuesday, according to sources. The Blue Jays buy out Chapman's final two years of arbitration with the new deal after acquiring him from the Oakland Athletics in a trade. The 28-year-old will receive a $1 million […]

Arden Key Meeting With Jaguars Tuesday

Free-agent defensive lineman Arden Key is meeting with the Jacksonville Jaguars on Tuesday, according to a source. Key visited with the Detroit Lions on Monday, and it sounds like they are still very much in play, but Key is taking his pre-planned visits. The 25-year-old pass-rusher is coming off a career-high 6.5 sacks in his […]

NL-Only Draft Sleepers for 2022 Fantasy Baseball

I am highly anticipating the 2022 season because I love baseball plus there was a little concern that we not might see MLB action in 2022. Well, the billionaires and millionaires put their minds together and made baseball a reality for this season, and I can't wait. This also means we will have to bear […]

Chiefs Sign Corey Coleman

The Kansas City Chiefs signed former New York Giants wide receiver Corey Coleman to an undisclosed deal on Tuesday, according to a source. Coleman was a first-round pick (15th overall) by the Cleveland Browns in 2016, but he never lived up to the billing and has 61 receptions for 789 yards and five touchdowns in […]

Luis Patino Scratched Tuesday

Tampa Bay Rays right-hander Luis Patino was scratched from his scheduled spring start on Tuesday against the Boston Red Sox because his arm didn't feel right on Monday. Patino will throw live batting practice on Wednesday, and the team isn't panicking yet. If the 22-year-old still doesn't feel right on Wednesday, he'll likely be shut […]

Kevin Pillar Signs With Dodgers

Free-agent outfielder Kevin Pillar signed a minor league deal with a base salary of $2.5 million in the majors with the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday.

Matt Olson Traded to the Braves - Fantasy Impact

Many were waiting for Freddie Freeman to resign with the Braves or likely sign with the Dodgers, while others were waiting for the Yankees to trade for Matt Olson.

Teoscar Hernandez Has Mild Wrist Sprain

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez (wrist) has a mild sprain in his left wrist but was able to put in a full day of work on Tuesday. Hernandez should be back on the field soon in spring games, according to manager Charlie Montoyo. It sounds like there's no danger of him missing Opening Day, […]

Marlins Have Talked About Ramon Laureano

The Miami Marlins remain on the lookout for a center fielder after filling two corner outfield spots with Avisail Garcia and Jorge Soler. They have talked to the Oakland Athletics about center fielder Ramon Laureano, but the two sides are apart on the price. Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds could also be an option, but […]

Padres, Yankees Have Checked On Willson Contreras

The San Diego Padres and New York Yankees have checked in on the availability of Chicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras in recent weeks, according to sources.
