Corbin Burnes' Changeup Standing Out

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Corbin Burnes drew praise from catcher Omar Narvaez in spring camp because of his improved changeup. "I think it's a big weapon for him this year," Narvaez said. The hard-throwing right-hander posted a 2.11 ERA in his breakout in 2020, and it was backed up by a 2.99 xFIP and a […]

Jarred Kelenic To Start The Year In Minors

Seattle Mariners president and CEO Kevin Mather said that outfield prospect Jarred Kelenic will start the 2021 season in the minor leagues after Kelenic and his representation rejected the team's six-year contract extension offer with options. "We would like him to get a few more at-bats in the minor leagues, probably Triple-A Tacoma for a […]

Former Cy Young winner Jake Arrieta is happy to be back with the Chicago Cubs and said it's "where I wanted to be."

J.T. Realmuto Catches Bullpen Over The Weekend

Philadelphia Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto (thumb) is dealing with a broken right thumb, but manager Joe Girardi said that he was able to catch reliever Brandon Kintzler's bullpen session on Saturday.

Anthony Rendon Could Be Late To Camp

Los Angeles Angels manager Joe Maddon said that third baseman Anthony Rendon could be a late arrival to spring training due to the ongoing weather situation in Texas. Rendon is from Houston, but a late arrival to spring training shouldn't affect his fantasy value at all heading into the 2021 season. The 30-year-old hit .289/.418/.497 […]

After he hit 30 long balls in […]

Curtis Blaydes On Receiving End Of Big Knockout

With a win on Saturday, Curtis Blaydes (14-3) would have put himself in the driver's seat for a future heavyweight title shot. Unfortunately, the journey hit a roadblock, as Blaydes met the uppercut of Derrick Lewis. It was known from the beginning that either Lewis would win with a big shot or Blaydes would win […]

Richaun Holmes Is Playing Sunday

In a surprising move, Sacramento Kings center Richaun Holmes (knee) is playing Sunday against the Milwaukee Bucks. Holmes was originally expected to miss this game, but pregame warm-ups must have gone well. It's unclear if he'll be on any kind of minutes limit, but it might be risky to play Holmes in this game. His […]

DaQuan Jeffries Starting On Sunday

Sacramento Kings forward Daquan Jeffries will make his second start of the season on Sunday night against the Milwaukee Bucks. The second-year player out has appeared in just five games, averaging 5.4 points while shooting 50 percent from the field. His 4.4 field goal attempts per game are a sign that Jeffries has a fairly […]

Ketlen Vieira Drops A Decision This Weekend

Entering Saturday night as a huge favorite, Ketlen Vieira (11-2) lost a very close decision to Yana Kunitskaya. The first round was Vieira's, displaying her solid striking and great ground game. The second and third rounds were really more of the same, but saw Kunitskaya do just enough in the judges' eyes at the end […]

Charles Rosa Goes The Distance But Can't Get The Win

Unable to get his second victory in a row on Saturday, Charles Rosa (13-5) fell to Darrick Minner in what many predicted beforehand to have Fight of the Night written all over it. As expected, Minner's ground game was too much for Rosa, though Rosa fought hard and escaped submissions. In 15 minutes of action, […]

Aleksei Oleinik Has A Rough Night In The Octagon

Aleksei Oleinik (59-15-1) ran into a tough task in the young Chris Daukaus on Saturday. Known for his deadly ground game, Oleinik just could not get close enough to take down the big Daukaus. Oleinik was only able to land five significant strikes (six total strikes) in less than two minutes of action before being […]

Richaun Holmes Unlikely To Play Sunday

Sacramento Kings center Richaun Holmes (knee) is unlikely to play on Sunday against the Milwaukee Bucks, which would put Hassan Whiteside back in the starting lineup again. While this matchup with the Bucks is a tough one, Whiteside would have some decent DFS appeal if Holmes is officially ruled out. This can also mean more […]
