Seattle Mariners outfield prospect Lazaro Montes belted his first home run of the spring in Monday's 12-8 Cactus League win over the Brewers.

Kevin Alcantara Stays Hot With RBI Double On Monday

Chicago Cubs outfield prospect Kevin Alcantara went 1-for-3 with a double and an RBI in Monday's 10-5 Cactus League win over the Padres.

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani (elbow, shoulder) touched 95 mph during his 25-pitch bullpen session in camp on Saturday while also adding cutters.

Chase Dollander Strikes Out Three In Spring Debut

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher prospect Chase Dollander made his spring debut on Monday, facing eight batters in a 2-2 tie with the Giants.

St. Louis Cardinals shortstop prospect J.J. Wetherholt collected a pair of hits in his first three spring at-bats on Sunday, with one of them being an opposite-field, three-run home run.

Titans Could Draft And Sign A Quarterback

ESPN's Dan Graziano suggests that the Tennessee Titans, who hold the first overall pick in this year's NFL draft, could draft a quarterback and also sign a bridge QB in free agency, similar to what the Atlanta Falcons did in 2024 when they signed Kirk Cousins and drafted Michael Penix Jr. in the first round. […]

Lonzo Ball Doesn't Return On Monday

Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball (head) was unable to return to Monday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He was only able to play eight minutes before a laceration on his head caused him to exit and forced him to the sideline for the rest of the night. For now, fantasy managers should consider Ball as […]

Extension Could Be Coming For T.J. Watt

The Pittsburgh Steelers made All-Pro pass-rusher T.J. Watt the highest-paid defensive player in the league before the 2021 season at around $28 million per year, and ESPN's Dan Graziano suggests the best way for the Steelers to knock down Watt's team-high $30.4 million salary cap number in 2025 is to give him an extension as […]

P.J. Washington Tagged As Questionable For Tuesday

Dallas Mavericks forward P.J. Washington (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Washington has played in the last two games, but he did miss three games ahead of the All-Star break due to an ankle injury. It sounds like it's something that is still bothering Washington, but he […]

Quentin Grimes Unable To Return On Monday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Quentin Grimes (knee) was unable to return during Monday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Grimes was ruled out in the third quarter due to a knee injury.

Bubba Chandler Displays His Potential In Spring Debut

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher prospect Bubba Chandler made his spring debut on Sunday and faced four batters. While he allowed one hit and walked a batter, his stuff appeared to be as advertised. The 22-year-old featured his four-seamer and slider, striking out one hitter as well, and the fastball clocked in as high as 99.1 […]

Guerschon Yabusele Exits Early On Monday

Philadelphia 76ers center Guerschon Yabusele (eye) was forced to exit early during Monday's game against the Chicago Bulls.

Brian Campbell Ready To Prove Mexico Open Not A Fluke

Brian Campbell started off hot in Mexico last week. The American golfer went 65-65-64 before scrambling with a final round 70. He was able to survive and birdie the second playoff hole against Aldrich Potgieter. Last week's birdie binge helped Campbell gain several strokes on the field especially early. Campbell has never played the Cognizant. […]

Patriots Could Be Aggressive On Trade Market For A Receiver

The Athletic's Chad Graff is guessing that the New England Patriots will aggressively pursue a trade for a wide receiver this offseason. The Cincinnati Bengals are expected to use the franchise tag on Tee Higgins, who would have been the top free-agent wideout available. Graff also guesses that New England would prefer to use the […]

Falcons Haven't Started Contract Talks With Matthew Judon

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's D. Orlando Ledbetter writes that the Atlanta Falcons have yet to start extension talks with linebacker Matthew Judon.

The 29-year-old had one year […]

Trey Lance Expected To Move On

Dallas Cowboys impending free-agent quarterback Trey Lance is expected to move on in free agency this offseason, as chief executive officer Stephen Jones said that Lance is "probably going to be looking for something different."

Steelers To Consider Trading Minkah Fitzpatrick?

The Athletic's Mike DeFabo thinks the Pittsburgh Steelers might want to consider trading safety Minkah Fitzpatrick, who hasn't played at a Pro Bowl level in two years. Even if the Steelers were to trade the big-money star, they'd still have the NFL's most expensive defense. Pittsburgh is set to have the most expensive defense in […]
