It was reported that Haniger could be activated on Wednesday after testing positive for COVID-19 on Saturday, but the decision hasn't yet been set in stone. Managers in daily […]

Ben Simmons Reportedly Blames Mental Block For Absence

Brooklyn Nets guard Ben Simmons (back) was anticipated to make his team debut during Game 4 of the playoff series versus Boston. However, that didn't happen. Instead, the former 76er was ruled out ahead of the contest after reporting he was experiencing soreness on Sunday morning. Nonetheless, after the Celtics swept the Nets, reports have […]

Jordan Hicks Exits Tuesday's Start Early

St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Jordan Hicks (wrist) was removed from Tuesday's start against the Mets with a right wrist contusion. He was hit in the wrist by a comebacker during the second inning but remained in the game. The 25-year-old was in pain shortly after and was lifted in the third inning. He allowed two […]

Goran Dragic Wants To Keep Playing

Guard Goran Dragic, who is an unrestricted free agent, indicated he doesn't plan on retiring, recently stating, "I still want to play another two, three years. So we'll see what happens." The 35-year-old, who finished the year with Brooklyn, averaged only 7.3 points and 4.8 assists throughout 16 regular season appearances for the Nets. While […]

Mike Zunino Exits Early With Biceps Strain

Tampa Bay Rays catcher Mike Zunino (biceps) was removed from Tuesday's game against the Seattle Mariners with a strained left biceps. He went 0-for-1 with a strikeout before leaving. The severity of Zunino's bicep injury is unknown, and he's considered day-to-day. Zunino has struggled to make contact this season, slashing .083/.128/.111 across 12 games in […]

Jimmy Butler Could Be Back For Game 6

Miami Heat guard Jimmy Butler (knee) could return (if needed) for Game 6 of the postseason series against Atlanta. Butler was sidelined on Tuesday night because of right knee inflammation, an unfortunate blow considering he has averaged 30.5 points and shot 43.8% from deep during the playoffs. There's also a chance Kyle Lowry (hamstring) may […]

Kyle Lowry May Play On Thursday, If Necessary

Miami Heat guard Kyle Lowry (hamstring) has a chance at playing on Thursday night, if necessary. Lowry continues to battle a strained left hamstring, although the rumblings of his potential availability for Game 6 seemingly suggest he's moving in the right direction. Yet, even if the Veteran can suit up, he'll likely have a limited […]

Brandin Cooks Not Attending Workouts

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks has decided to not attend voluntary workouts. The 28-year-old recently signed an extension with Houston, so fantasy managers shouldn't be too concerned. This doesn't appear to be a holdout or anything like that. Over the last two seasons, Cooks has been a significant part of the Texans offense. He […]

Lions Exercise Fifth-Year Option On T.J. Hockenson

Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson is expected to stick with the organization for at least two more seasons. On Tuesday, the Lions exercised Hockenson's fifth-year option that is worth $9.3 million in 2023. This is an unsurprising move as Hockenson has been a solid option for Detroit since being drafted in 2019. He is […]

Robert Quinn Could Be On The Move

Chicago Bears defensive end Robert Quinn could possibly be traded before the beginning of training camp. Ian Rapoport reports that teams are checking in and kicking the tires on Quinn. The 31-year-old recorded 18.5 sacks and 49 tackles through 17 games with the Bears last season. The Bears traded Khalil Mack earlier in the offseason, […]

Jimmy Garoppolo To Panthers Is Unlikely

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo has been on the trade block all offseason long. However, there hasn't been much movement on the trade front, which could be a problem soon. One team that would make sense on paper is the Carolina Panthers. Although, David Newton of ESPN mentioned that Garoppolo has never been on […]

Donovan Mitchell Hopeful To Play In Game 6

Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell (hamstring) was forced to exit early during Monday's Game 5 against the Dallas Mavericks. He left in the fourth quarter due to a left hamstring issue, but the Jazz were getting destroyed anyway. The MRI came back clean, so the Jazz are hopeful that Mitchell can play on Thursday. Otherwise, […]

Zach LaVine Placed In COVID-19 Safety Protocols

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine has been placed in the league's health and safety protocols on Tuesday. That being said, LaVine is considered questionable for Wednesday's Game 5 versus the Milwaukee Bucks. Also, Alex Caruso (concussion) is uncertain for Wednesday's game, so the Bulls could be shorthanded. Ayo Dosunmu and Coby White could be asked […]

Jonathan Villar Sitting Against Braves On Tuesday

Chicago Cubs infielder Jonathan Villar is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Braves. Nico Hoerner will be covering shortstop while Nick Madrigal will be holding down the keystone for the game. Villar is off to a nice start to the season, slashing .341/.380/.386 with two doubles, eight RBI and eight […]

Clint Capela To Suit Up For Game 5

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (knee) will play during Tuesday's Game 5 against the Miami Heat. He was listed as questionable coming into this game, but feels well enough to get on the court. Capela made his series debut during Game 4, but only scored two points in 21 minutes. The Hawks are hopeful to […]

Gabe Vincent Is Available On Tuesday

Miami Heat guard Gabe Vincent (toe) will be available for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Atlanta Hawks. The Heat are going to need Vincent with Kyle Lowry (hamstring) and Jimmy Butler (knee) both sidelined for this contest. Vincent is averaging 8.9 points, 3.2 assists, and 1.8 rebounds whenever Butler isn't playing. He could be someone […]

Matt Manning Still Dealing With Shoulder Tightness

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Matt Manning (shoulder) is still dealing with shoulder tightness, according to Tigers manager A.J. Hinch. On Tuesday, Hinch stated that Manning will not continue throwing until the issue "resolves itself." Hinch also added that this is not a setback for Manning, but that his ramp up will take longer than the […]

Jimmy Butler To Sit Out Game 5

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (knee) has been officially ruled out for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Atlanta Hawks. He wasn't on the injury report heading into this game, so this decision is a bit surprising. He'll be joined by Kyle Lowry (hamstring) on the sideline for Tuesday's contest. Gabe Vincent, Tyler Herro, Max Strus, […]

Tommy Hunter Signs Minor League Deal With Mets

The New York Mets have signed right-handed pitcher Tommy Hunter to a minor league deal. According to Ken Rosenthal, Hunter will report to Port St. Lucie at some point this week with the goal for him to be ready for the majors by June. Those with a strong memory may recall that the Mets previously […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic Won't Play In Game 5

Atlanta Hawks guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's Game 5 matchup against the Miami Heat. He has been battling and playing through both knee and ankle injuries during this series. It has certainly impacted his performance as well. The Hawks will take the cautious approach here and let Bogdanovic rest. Danilo […]

Brandon Marsh Back In The Lineup, Batting Sixth

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Brandon Marsh (illness) is back in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cleveland Guardians. He will be playing left field and batting sixth in the game. With his return, Jo Adell is heading to the bench. Marsh missed the team's last two games after coming down with a stomach […]

Steven Kwan Remains Out On Tuesday

Cleveland Guardians outfielder Steven Kwan (hamstring) will miss his second straight game on Tuesday as the team faces Patrick Sandoval and the Los Angeles Angels. The 24-year-old rookie is currently hampered by right hamstring tightness. Ernie Clement will be covering Kwan's usual left field post for Tuesday's game. We don't know much about the severity […]

Adley Rutschman Beginning Rehab At Single-A Tuesday

Baltimore Orioles catcher Adley Rutschman (triceps) is starting at catcher and batting second in the lineup for the team's Single-A affiliate Aberdeen on Tuesday. This will be the 2022 minor league debut for Rutschman, one of the top prospects in baseball. The 24-year-old suffered a triceps strain during Spring Training and he has been out […]

Sean Kuraly Done For The Season

Columbus Blue Jackets forward Sean Kuraly (foot) will miss the team's final three regular-season games, starting with Tuesday's visit to Tampa. The 29-year-old put in a nice 20-minute shift in Sunday's 5-2 win over Edmonton, but he also suffered a foot injury in the game and this ends his season a few games too early. […]

Marcus Foligno, Jordan Greenway Back In Wild Lineup

Minnesota Wild wingers Marcus Foligno and Jordan Greenway (upper body) will rejoin the action on Tuesday against Arizona. The latter is back from a seven-game absence, while Foligno was forced to sit out four games as he awaited clearance from COVID-19 protocols. The two have formed a very productive third line with Joel Eriksson Ek […]

Thatcher Demko Out With An Undisclosed Injury

Vancouver Canucks goaltender Thatcher Demko will miss Tuesday's matchup against Seattle with an undisclosed injury and is considered day-to-day. This is a bitter blow for the Canucks, who still have a chance to make the postseason with three games to go in the regular season. Demko has taken a few bad beatings on the bounce […]

Devon Toews Rejoins Avalanche Lineup

Colorado Avalanche defenseman Devon Toews (undisclosed) will be back from a four-game absence Tuesday against St. Louis. The team went on to lose all four games without Toews on the ice, so they will no doubt be very glad to have him back. The 28-year-old blue-liner has had a massive year with 57 points and […]

Alex Ovechkin A Game-Time Call For Tuesday

Washington Capitals left wing Alex Ovechkin (upper body) is a game-time call for Tuesday's clash with the Islanders. He missed the morning skate, which isn't a good sign, but the team hasn't officially ruled him out. Ovechkin was injured in Sunday's 4-3 shootout loss to Toronto when he tripped over the stick of Toronto's goaltender […]

Pedro Baez Designated For Assignment

The Houston Astros designated relief pitcher Pedro Baez for assignment on Tuesday. Fellow reliever Seth Martinez was called up from Triple-A in a corresponding move. Baez was off to a rough start to the 2022 season, allowing six runs (three earned) over 2.1 innings. Martinez, meanwhile, had been struggling a bit at Triple-A. Over six […]

Carter Verhaeghe Returns To Action

Florida Panthers forward Carter Verhaeghe (undisclosed) will be back in the lineup on Tuesday against Boston. He has been a bit banged up and head coach Andrew Brunette has elected to rest him for three games. Verhaeghe will replace Mason Marchment, who now gets a night off himself. The 26-year-old has gone pointless in his […]
