Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger (back, groin) made his long-awaited return to the baseball diamond on Sunday, picking up one hit in two at-bats.

New York Mets team president Sandy Alderson indicated on Monday that extension talks between the team and shortstop Francisco Lindor should begin soon.

Taj Gibson (PF/C, NYK) - Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 2% of leagues ANALYSIS: When the Knicks signed Taj Gibson to his third Tom Thibodeau-led roster back in January, I thought it was out of comfort or familiarity, because it seemed highly unlikely that the now 35-year-old veteran would have a significant role to play on the […]

NBA DFS Prop Picks for Monday (3/1/21) - Monkey Knife Fight

Not a huge Monday slate with seven games scheduled, and out-of-conference games don't exactly increase the appeal.

While superstars are arguably easing their workload in […]
