Jonathan Ornelas Promoted To Major-League Roster, Starting On Sunday

The Texas Rangers have recalled shortstop Jonathan Ornelas from Triple-A Round Rock.

Cameron Payne Ruled Out On Sunday

New York Knicks guard Cameron Payne (ankle) won't play in Sunday's game against Portland, marking his second-straight absence. Jalen Brunson (ankle) and Miles McBride (groin) are also out, so the Knicks may continue to rely on Delon Wright, who had 12 points in Friday's win over the Bucks, to fill the hole in the starting […]

Trevor Story Sitting On Sunday

Boston Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story is not in the starting lineup on Sunday when the Red Sox conclude a series against the Texas Rangers. Story has started each of the past three contests at shortstop. At the plate, Story went 1-for-11 with two runs, two stolen bases, and a 1:3 BB:K. As a result, […]

Points League Pitchers: Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 1 (March 31 - April 6)

Drafting's the best part of the year, I get it. It's tremendous and absolutely a ton of fun, but let's be honest -- fantasy baseball's won with in-season management. When the head honchos here at RotoBaller asked me to take on the points leagues SP waiver wire duties, I was honored -- there may not […]

Miles McBride Remains Out On Sunday

New York Knicks guard Miles McBride (groin) will remain out for Sunday's matchup with the Blazers. McBride had been filling in for Jalen Brunson (ankle). However, the Knicks now have even bigger issues, with Cameron Payne (ankle) also sidelined by a sprain. As a result, Delon Wright, coming off a 12-point effort in Friday's win […]

Jo Adell Feeling Better, Hopes To Return On Monday

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jo Adell (hip) is feeling better and hopes to return to the starting nine on Monday when the Angels face the St. Louis Cardinals. Adell was removed early from Saturday's contest after suffering this hip injury. However, it does not sound serious, and Adell may only miss one game. On Sunday, […]

Scoot Henderson Out On Sunday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Scoot Henderson (concussion) won't play on Sunday against the Knicks. He's now in concussion protocol, although his return to the floor could hinge on Portland's ability to earn a Play-In spot. With Anfernee Simons (forearm) questionable, the Blazers could be even more thin in the backcourt. But regardless of Simons' availability, […]

Deadline Coming For Brandon Aiyuk

The San Francisco 49ers owe wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk (knee) a $22.85 million bonus if he's on their roster on April 1, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Once the 49ers pay that bonus, any potential trade talks this offseason for Aiyuk would be off and he'd be expected to spend the 2025 season with the […]

Jacob deGrom Expected To Throw 75 Pitches On Sunday

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Jacob deGrom will likely only throw 75 pitches in his first start on Sunday afternoon against the Boston Red Sox. deGrom missed the majority of the 2024 campaign due to Tommy John surgery. He returned at the end of the campaign and logged just 10 2/3 innings of work. In spring […]

Anfernee Simons May Miss Sunday's Game

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (forearm) is questionable for Sunday's matchup with the New York Knicks. The Trail Blazers likely aren't going anywhere near the postseason in any capacity, so it's hard to gauge just how severe his injury is. With that said, Simons' absence could surely open the door for added production from […]

Jordan Westburg Sitting On Sunday

Baltimore Orioles second baseman/third baseman Jordan Westburg is not in the starting lineup for their contest against the Toronto Blue Jays on Sunday afternoon. Westburg has been in the starting lineup in each of their first three contests. He has enjoyed a hot start to the campaign, launching three long balls with six total hits. […]

The Dallas Morning News' Shawn McFarland reports that Texas Rangers third baseman Josh Jung (neck) is going on the 10-day injured list on Sunday with neck spasms that kept him from playing in Saturday's win over the visiting Boston Red Sox. Jung also dealt with neck stiffness at the end of spring training and was […]

Ty Jerome Out Again On Sunday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Ty Jerome (knee) won't play on Sunday versus the Clippers, marking his third-consecutive absence. The Cavs are on track to finish as the top team in the Eastern Conference. However, the team will need to figure out how to keep the ship afloat without arguably their top bench option. While De'Andre Hunter […]

Jordan Walker Resting On Sunday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Jordan Walker will get hit first day off of the season on Sunday against the visiting Minnesota Twins at Busch Stadium. Lars Nootbaar is in right field and batting leadoff again, while Brendan Donovan will start in left field and bat third against Twins right-hander Bailey Ober. The 22-year-old Walker might […]

Albert Suarez Placed On 15-Day Injured List

The Baltimore Orioles announced on Sunday that they have placed right-hander Albert Suarez (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list (retroactive to March 29) with right-shoulder inflammation and have selected the contract of right-hander Matt Bowman from Triple-A Norfolk in a corresponding move. Suarez, 35, lost out on the No. 5 rotation spot out of spring […]

Kawhi Leonard Sitting On Sunday Afternoon

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) won't suit up for Sunday's meeting with the Cavaliers. The Clippers play back-to-back contests, so Leonard will likely be back on Monday night against the Orlando Magic. In the meantime, Nicolas Batum is the favorite to take over at the four spot, with the veteran averaging 8.9 points, […]

Ke'Bryan Hayes Riding Pine To Start Sunday's Game

Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes is not in the starting lineup on Sunday for the series finale at loanDepot Park against the Miami Marlins.

Jose Ramirez Out Of Sunday's Lineup, Considered Day-To-Day

Cleveland Guardians third baseman Jose Ramirez (wrist) is absent from the series finale on Sunday against the division-rival Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium after he suffered a sprained right wrist on a stolen-base attempt in the third inning of Saturday's game. The good news is that manager Stephen Vogt said Ramirez is just day-to-day, […]

Joey Bart Out On Sunday Against Marlins

Pittsburgh Pirates catcher Joey Bart will take a seat on Sunday for the series finale against the Miami Marlins at loanDepot Park. With Bart resting, Endy Rodriguez will do the catching for left-hander Andrew Heaney and will bat sixth against Marlins right-hander Max Meyer. This will be Bart's first day off of the year after […]
