Sam Stevens Enjoys Nice Result In Houston

Sam Stevens seeks to capitalize on the nice result he had in Houston. The American golfer shot a 65 in the final round to vault into the Top 20. Though Stevens finished 10 shots off the first place total, Stevens looked good on the golf course. The concern is that he has looked so average […]

J.T. Poston has won three times on the PGA Tour in his career. The American golfer has not even tasted a Top 10 once in 2025. Despite missing only one cut, Poston has always had that round or two that derails his weekend. Last week at the Valspar Championship, Poston could not keep up with […]

Toronto Raptors guard/forward Ochai Agbaji (rest) will not play on Tuesday against the Chicago Bulls. He will come out of the lineup for the second time in three games for rest purposes.

Kris Bubic Notches Eight Strikeouts In Strong Win On Monday

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Kris Bubic was fantastic in his first start of the season, striking out eight Brewers without giving up a run in the Royals' 11-1 win.

RJ Barrett To Be Rested Tuesday Night

Toronto Raptors guard/forward RJ Barrett (rest) will not be in the lineup for Tuesday's clash against the Chicago Bulls.

Martin Perez Dazzles Twins On Monday, Throws Six Hitless Innings

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Martin Perez was masterful on Monday, throwing six hitless innings and picking up the win in Chicago's 9-0 victory over the Twins. Perez did walk three batters but ultimately was spectacular in his White Sox debut. It's a great sign to see for the 33-year-old after putting up a 4.53 […]

Immanuel Quickley Returning To Action Against Bulls

Toronto Raptors point guard Immanuel Quickley (rest) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Tuesday's encounter with the Chicago Bulls. The former Knick has received regular rest days recently and was held out of action when the Raptors visited the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday. Jamal Shead started instead of Quickley and had a […]

Bryan De La Cruz Draws First Start Of Season On Monday Night

Atlanta Braves outfielder Bryan De La Cruz is in Monday night's lineup against the Dodgers, getting his first start of the season. De La Cruz will bat seventh and face Dodgers' starter Tyler Glasnow.

Jakob Poeltl Available On Tuesday

Toronto Raptors center Jakob Poeltl (rest) is expected to return to action on Tuesday against the Chicago Bulls, as the team has not listed him on the injury report.

Jonathan Kuminga Uncertain For Tuesday's Game

Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga (pelvis) is questionable to play on Tuesday against the Memphis Grizzlies. The 22-year-old left Sunday's contest against the San Antonio Spurs early due to an ankle sprain but is now on the injury report with a right pelvic contusion. Kuminga's absence on Tuesday would open up a nice chunk […]

Scherzer plans to return to Toronto soon and discuss next steps with team trainers and doctors according to manager John Schneider. The 40-year-old signed a 1-year, $15.5 million […]

Christian Braun Listed As Probable For Meeting With Timberwolves

Denver Nuggets guard/forward Christian Braun (foot) is considered probable for Tuesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. This designation has recently become common for Braun as he nurses a left foot strain. Braun has made six consecutive appearances, so there is no reason to believe that he won't suit up for Tuesday's contest. A couple of […]

Jose Ramirez Back In Lineup For Cleveland On Monday

Cleveland Guardians third baseman Jose Ramirez (wrist) is back in the Guardians' lineup for Monday night's matchup against the San Diego Padres. Ramirez left Saturday's game with a wrist injury from stealing a base but has avoided serious injury and is ready to go. The 32-year-old will look to get his first hit of the […]

Aaron Gordon Tagged As Questionable For Tuesday

Denver Nuggets forward/center Aaron Gordon (illness, calf) has picked up a questionable tag ahead of Tuesday's action against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The game will kick off a back-to-back set for Denver, and Gordon looks certain to sit out at least one of the contests as he keeps managing a calf injury. Furthermore, he is dealing […]

Freddie Freeman Absent From Lineup For Monday Night

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman (ankle) is out of Monday night's lineup. Freeman re-aggravated his ankle injury in what manager Dave Roberts is calling a "mishap" from Freeman stepping into the shower. The 35-year-old is currently considered day-to-day and should not be considered serious. Enrique Hernandez is filling in at first base and […]

Jamal Murray Iffy For Tuesday

Denver Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray (hamstring) has been listed as questionable for Tuesday's tilt against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He is in danger of missing a second consecutive game. However, Murray practiced fully on Monday, suggesting that there is a high probability that he will return to the court for Tuesday's action. If Murray can't […]

LeBron James Ready To Play Against Rockets

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (groin) will play in Monday's matchup against the Houston Rockets. He has been upgraded from probable to available. This will be James' sixth consecutive appearance since returning from a groin strain.

Nikola Jokic Expected To Play Against Timberwolves

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (ankle) is listed as probable on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Trae Young Likely To Face Portland

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young (Achilles) will likely remain in the lineup on Tuesday against the Portland Trail Blazers, as the team lists him as probable on the injury report.

Bradley Beal Could Return On Tuesday

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (hamstring) may rejoin the action on Tuesday against the Milwaukee Bucks, as the team has listed him as questionable on the injury report. The three-time All-Star has been unavailable for seven games due to a hamstring strain. Beal has started working on five-on-five drills in practice, which suggests his return […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Probable For Tuesday's Action

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo (foot) is probable to play on Tuesday against the Phoenix Suns. The Greek superstar remains on the injury report with a foot sprain, but he will likely suit up for Tuesday's contest. The injury does not appear to limit Antetokounmpo in any way, as he has notched 30-plus points in […]

CJ McCollum Shut Down For The Rest Of The Season

According to ESPN's Shams Charania, New Orleans Pelicans guard CJ McCollum (foot) will be shut down for the remainder of the 2024-25 campaign.

However, […]
