Daniel Gafford Exits Early On Monday

Washington Wizards center Daniel Gafford (ankle) was forced to exit early during Monday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He was going up for a rebound and came down on Pacers' guard Edmond Sumner's foot and tweaked his ankle. It didn't look pretty and Gafford will surely have an MRI soon. He finished the game with […]

Jacob Markstrom Takes Crease Versus Jets

Calgary Flames goaltender Jacob Markstrom will look to put his current three-game losing streak to bed as his team squares off against the Winnipeg Jets on Monday night. The 31-year-old is looking to close out a three-game set versus the Jets and avenge Friday's loss in which he allowed three goals on 29 shots against. […]

Evan White Finishes Spring Strong

Seattle Mariners first baseman Evan White had a strong game Monday to close out his spring training season. White went 2-for-2 with a double and two RBI. He is currently in third place across all players in spring training with his 16 RBI. After enduring a two week stretch where he went hitless, White raised […]

Isaiah Hartenstein Draws The Start In Cavs Debut

Cleveland Cavaliers center Isaiah Hartenstein will draw the start during his team debut against the Utah Jazz on Monday. Jarrett Allen (concussion) and Larry Nance Jr. (illness) are sidelined for this game. Hartenstein could find himself starting a few games with Allen needing to clear the league's concussion protocol before getting back on the court. […]

Coby White Won't Play Monday

Chicago Bulls guard Coby White (neck) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Golden State Warriors. This marks the first game that White will be sidelined during his career, which snaps a streak of 109 straight appearances. Head coach Billy Donovan mentioned that White tried to warm up, but felt too much discomfort […]

Bobby Portis Could Miss Multiple Games

Milwaukee Bucks forward Bobby Portis won't travel with the team for Monday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. It's unknown when he'll be available during the road trip while he is sidelined due to the NBA's health and safety protocols. His absence will likely push P.J. Tucker and Thanasis Antetokounmpo into bigger roles. Neither are […]

Daily Fantasy Golf DraftKings Picks (PGA DFS): Valero Texas Open

Welcome back, RotoBallers! Billy Horschel took down the WGC Match Play competition out in Austin, Texas, capturing his sixth PGA Tour title in the process. Horschel's path to the winner's circle wasn't an easy one, and we saw that with him having to scramble out of group play on Friday in sudden-death fashion, as well […]

Adam Ottavino Could See Save Opportunities

Boston Red Sox pitcher Adam Ottavino battled with Matt Barnes this spring for the club's closer role. But when Matt Barnes tested positive for COVID-19, the race was left unfinished according to manager Alex Cora. With Barnes now cleared to return to action, he and Ottavino should both work high-leverage situations and both could see […]

Robin Lehner In Net Versus Kings On Monday

Vegas Golden Knights goaltender Robin Lehner will make his eighth start of the campaign as his team hosts the Los Angeles Kings on Monday night. Grubauer, last saw action in last Monday's victory over the Blues in which he allowed just one goal on 16 shots against, enters the contest with a 5-1-1 record, a […]

Brent Rooker Optioned To Alternate Site

Minnesota Twins outfielder Brent Rooker was optioned to the team's alternate site. Rooker was seemingly the favorite for the starting left-field job after fellow prospect Alex Kirilloff was sent down to the minors, but it was not to be. Rooker had a solid spring at the plate, though he did strike out 15 times while […]

Cam Talbot Starts In San Jose On Monday

Minnesota Wild goaltender Cam Talbot will make his fourth consecutive start as his team takes on the San Jose Sharks on Monday night. The 33-year-old is fresh off three days of rest after recording his second shutout of the season in a 37-save performance versus the Blues on Thursday. Talbot has been on a roll […]

T.J. Zeuch Makes Opening Day Roster

Toronto Blue Jays hurler T.J. Zeuch was informed on Monday that he had made the club's 26-man roster for opening day. Veteran pitcher Robbie Ray (elbow bruise) is expected to miss at least one start with an injury. Zeuch has seen his standing with the Jays improve this spring due to a mix of solid […]

Jamie Drysdale Returns To Lineup On Monday

Anaheim Ducks defenseman Jamie Drysdale will make a return to his team's lineup versus the Colorado Avalanche on Monday. The 18-year-old was knocked out of Friday's win versus St. Louis with an upper-body injury and missed Sunday's game due to the issue. Drysdale, considered one of the top prospects in the game right now, has […]

Mets Offer Francisco Lindor 10-Year $325 Million Contract

The New York Mets have reportedly made a contract extension offer of 10-years, $325 million to shortstop Francisco Lindor. The Mets had been reportedly willing to go to, at least, $300 million to get a deal completed between the team and Lindor prior to Opening Day. It would appear the Mets have made good on […]

Francisco Liriano Granted Release

Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Francisco Liriano was granted his release on Monday. He had an opt-out clause in his minor-league contract which he chose to exercise after he learned he would not be making the club out of the spring. The veteran left-hander pitched well this spring and did not allow a run in 7.1 […]

Michael Carter-Williams Returning To Action Tuesday

Orlando Magic guard Michael Carter-Williams (knee) will be returning to the lineup on Tuesday against the Clippers. Carter-Williams left Sunday's game against the Lakers with a bruised knee, but was able to do everything during Monday's practice. Head coach Steve Clifford said that there was a bit of swelling but that the 29-year-old is expected […]

Clint Capela, De'Andre Hunter Questionable For Tuesday's Game

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (hand) and forward De'Andre Hunter (knee) are questionable to suit up for Tuesday's contest against the Suns. Capela has a pair of monster double-doubles in two of his last three games- and he has yet to miss time for this injury, so he's a safe bet to suit up against […]

Larry Nance Jr. Ruled Out On Monday

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Larry Nance Jr. (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Jazz. Nance has a non-COVID related illness, so it's probably not something that will keep him sidelined for too long. His absence comes at a bad time for a Cleveland frontcourt that was already down Jarrett Allen (head) and […]

Hassan Whiteside Out Monday Against Spurs

Sacramento Kings center Hassan Whiteside will miss his third straight contest on Monday against San Antonio. Whiteside has been dealing with a sore knee, though it's at least a good sign that he was initially listed as questionable. His absence will mean that Richaun Holmes will continue to dominate the frontcourt touches for Sacramento, though […]

Jairo Diaz Having A Rough Spring

Colorado Rockies reliever Jairo Diaz is having a horrible spring. He's put up a putrid 10.24 ERA, 2.17 WHIP, and 9:4 K/BB ratio over 9 2/3 innings of Cactus League play. The 29-year-old Diaz agreed to a one-year, $1.1 million deal with the Rockies this offseason after spending part of 2020 as the team's closer. […]

Jerami Grant Available To Play Monday

Detroit Pistons forward Jerami Grant (quad) is available to play in Monday's matchup with Toronto. Grant suffered the quad injury during Saturday's game, but it doesn't appear to be too serious, given his quick return to action. Fantasy managers can fire up Grant in all formats, with a matchup against a Raptors' team that has […]

Kyle Lowry To Suit Up Against Pistons

Toronto Raptors guard Kyle Lowry (foot) will suit up on Monday against the Pistons. Lowry was a late scratch on Sunday, though he appears to have had enough time to rest his sore foot. The veteran guard has had a bit of a rough month shooting the ball, though he's averaging 9.4 assists per game […]

Julius Randle, Reggie Bullock Returning To Lineup Monday

New York Knicks forward Julius Randle (thigh) and guard Reggie Bullock (ankle) are returning to the lineup on Monday against the Heat. Randle missed the last game and Bullock the last two, so they should be good to go in terms of usage. Their returns will send Alec Burks and Taj Gibson back to the […]

Jon Gray Locked In As Rockies' Third Starter

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Jon Gray will be the third starter in the team's rotation to begin the season. Fellow starters Germán Márquez and Antonio Senzatela will get the first crack at the Los Angeles Dodgers in the Rockies opening series and will then be followed by Gray and Austin Gomber. The hard-throwing Gray has […]

Rougned Odor Will Not Make Rangers Opening Day Roster

Texas Rangers second baseman Rougned Odor will not be on the Opening Day roster for Texas, and is expected to either be traded or designated for assignment, according to Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News. Odor has been an all or nothing player for most of his career, averaging 28 home runs and 150 […]

Jose Leclerc To Undergo Tommy John Surgery

Texas Rangers relief pitcher Jose Leclerc (elbow) will undergo Tommy John surgery and will miss the 2021 season, according to Kennedi Landry of MLB.com. Rangers general manager Chris Young made the announcement one week after Leclerc was shelved with soreness and discomfort in his right elbow. This is a big blow to Leclerc, who missed […]

Travis d'Arnaud Ready For Opening Day

Atlanta Braves catcher Travis d'Arnaud has posted a .241/.353/.345 slash line with one homer and four RBI through 29 Grapefruit League at-bats. The 32-year-old is coming off of one of the best seasons of his career, as he recorded a monstrous .919 OPS across 44 games in 2020. d'Arnaud will bat fifth in the loaded […]

Brad Hand Ready For Season

Washington Nationals closer Brad Hand told NBC Sports Washington that he is looking forward to pitching in a strong NL East this season. Hand saved 16 games for Cleveland last season while pitching to a 1.73 FIP. However, he allowed an obviously unsustainable zero home runs in 22 innings, leading to a 3.83 xFIP, his […]

Rickard Rakell Uncertain For Monday's Action

Anaheim Ducks winger Rickard Rakell could miss Monday's road game against Colorado after leaving Sunday's 3-2 overtime win against St. Louis with an injury. The Ducks haven't provided any updates, but his collision with Kyle Clifford looked pretty nasty, and it does look like he's more likely to miss the game than play. Rakell was […]

Charlie Morton Closes Spring On A High Note

Atlanta Braves starter Charlie Morton threw three scoreless innings in Sunday's Grapefruit League win over the Tampa Bay Rays. The veteran allowed two hits and two walks while striking out two batters. Morton did not allow a run across 10 1/3 innings in Spring Training, while his velocity is right where it should be. This […]
