Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Luis Castillo was tabbed as the team's Opening Day starter for the second straight year.

Serge Ibaka Questionable To Play Saturday

Los Angeles Clippers forward/center Serge Ibaka (back) is questionable to play Saturday against the Charlotte Hornets. Ibaka has picked up the questionable tag three games in a row now, but has missed the last two as he recovers from a nagging back injury. If Ibaka is unable to go, Ivica Zubac becomes a must-start, especially […]

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Didi Gregorius (concussion) was able to participate in all activities on Friday afternoon. Gregorius was placed in the concussion protocol after being hit in the back of the helmet by a pitch- though manager Joe Girardi said that the 31-year-old is "one positive evaluation from getting into a game." Gregorius could make […]

Rudy Gobert Playing Against Raptors

Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert (hip) is available to start on Friday against the Toronto Raptors.

If Gobert were to suffer a setback of any kind, Derrick Favors is the next man up, […]

John Means Named Opening Day Starter Against Red Sox

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher John Means was named the team's Opening Day starter on Friday. Means would have made his first career Opening Day start last season, but arm fatigue derailed the Orioles' plans and cost the left-hander some time. The 27-year-old pitched to a 4.53 ERA in 43 2/3 innings last year, though he […]

Kyle Cody Torched By Dodgers

Texas Rangers starter Kyle Cody allowed five runs against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday. The runs came after he allowed a walk and eight hits over just 2.1 innings. Six of the hits were doubles. Cody is attempting to win a spot in the Rangers' starting rotation to open the year but he now […]

It's currently unclear where Howard fits […]

Trent Thornton Returns to Action

Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Trent Thornton (elbow) pitched his first game of the spring on Friday. He had been recovering from an injury that caused him to appear in just three games in 2020. The right-hander threw two no-hit, shutout innings against the Detroit Tigers. Thornton struck out four batters while touching 93.8 mph with his fastball […]

Rudy Gobert Considered A Game-Time Decision Friday

Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert (hip) is a game-time decision Friday against the Toronto Raptors. Gobert was questionable after suffering a left hip contusion in Thursday's loss to the Washington Wizards. Gobert's absence would leave a huge hole in Utah's defense, especially after dropping four out of their last six games. If Gobert is unable […]

Jake Odorizzi Eyeing First Homestand For Season Debut

Houston Astros starting pitcher Jake Odorizzi expects to be ready to take the mound for his team's first homestand.

All other Premium Tools can be accessed on the premium dashboard.

Jeremy Lamb Available To Play Against Miami

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Jeremy Lamb (knee) is available to play off the bench on Friday against the Miami Heat. Lamb has missed the past three games while dealing with soreness in his surgically repaired knee, but will make his return on Friday. Lamb significantly cooled down lately and was playing in the mid-teens off the […]

Jaden Schwartz Returns To Blues Lineup

St. Louis Blues left wing Jaden Schwartz (lower body) will return to the lineup on Friday against San Jose. The 28-year-old missed over a month of action, last skating on Feb. 12. He was off to a productive start to the season with nine points and a plus-nine rating in 14 games with 23 shots. […]

Martin Jones In Sharks Net On Friday

San Jose Sharks goaltender Martin Jones will make his 17th start of the season on Friday against St. Louis, looking to improve an 8-6-1 record. It's been an up-and-down season for the 31-year-old, who carries a 3.64 goals-against average and a .884 save percentage. It looks like a good matchup for him, as he's done […]

Kelly Oubre Jr. Starting Against Memphis

Golden State Warriors forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (foot) is starting Friday against the Memphis Grizzlies after being listed as questionable. Oubre was actually doubtful to play at one point, but is now miraculously playing through a right foot sprain on Friday.

Jacob Markstrom Continues To Start For Flames

Calgary Flames goaltender Jacob Markstrom will make a seventh consecutive start in Friday's road game at Toronto. He's looking to bounce back after seeing seven pucks fly past him in Wednesday's 7-3 loss to Edmonton. Markstrom was on a three-game winning streak before suffering the big defeat, so he's actually demonstrated some good form lately. […]

Stephen Curry Out Friday And Doubtful Saturday

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (tailbone) has been ruled out Friday against the Memphis Grizzlies and is in danger of missing Saturday's game as well. Curry is "still very sore" according to head coach Steve Kerr after taking a hard fall in Wednesday's game. Tailbone injuries typically last 1-3 games given the pain tolerance […]

Alex Galchenyuk Set For Leafs Debut On Friday

Toronto Maple Leafs forward Alex Galchenyuk is set to make his team debut in Friday's meeting with Calgary.

Galchenyuk had one point -- a goal -- in eight games and a minus-six rating playing for Ottawa at […]

Yankees Option Mike Ford

New York Yankees first baseman Mike Ford was optioned to the minor leagues by the team on Friday. Ford's demotion comes as no surprise as the Yankees have a crowded competition to fill out the remaining spots on their bench, but it's disappointing to see Ford lose his MLB playing time after posting a .909 […]

Andre Iguodala Has Been Ruled Out Friday

Miami Heat forward Andre Iguodala (hip) will sit out Friday against the Indiana Pacers. Iguodala will miss his second straight game after leaving Tuesday with a hip injury. Iguodala's absence could open the door for newly acquired Trevor Ariza to step in and earn meaningful minutes right away. Ariza's conditioning is always a factor as […]

Frederik Andersen Looks For Form Versus Flames

Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Frederik Andersen will be between the pipes in Friday's home outing against Calgary. He's trying to get his season back on track after dropping four of his last five decisions.
