He will work out with the team this weekend and then join Triple-A Durham for the start of the minor league season. Choi only played in five spring […]

Max Fried Making Really Good Progress

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Max Fried (hamstring) threw a pain-free side session on Monday and also took part in fielding drills. He will throw live batting practice later this week and could be activated from the injured list to make a start during next week's three-game series against the Washington Nationals from May 4-6. The […]

Roquan Smith Has Fifth-Year Option Exercised

The Chicago Bears exercised linebacker Roquan Smith's fifth-year option for the 2022 season on Tuesday.

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 27% of leagues ANALYSIS: Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Kolten Wong has been on an absolute tear lately. He has recorded multiple hits in each of his past four games, going 10-for-17 with three doubles and a home run over the four-game stretch. Wong has led off each […]

Steelers Exercise Minkah Fitzpatrick's Fifth-Year Option

The Pittsburgh Steelers exercised safety Minkah Fitzpatrick's fifth-year option for the 2022 season on Tuesday, according to a source. The move was a no-brainer for the Steelers, as Fitzpatrick has been a Pro Bowler and All-Pro each of the last two seasons. Pittsburgh acquired the No. 11 overall pick in the 2018 draft early in […]

Tyler Beede Could Become Rotation Option At The End Of May

San Francisco Giants right-hander Tyler Beede (elbow) looked good in his first post-Tommy John live bullpen session on Monday, giving the team optimism that he'll be a starting rotation option when he's eligible to come off the 60-day injured list on May 31. "It went great," manager Gabe Kapler said. "The velocity was there. He […]

Reyes Moronta Could Return By May 3

San Francisco Giants relief pitcher Reyes Moronta (forearm) is slated to throw a live bullpen session and could be activated from the injured list as soon as May 3 on the road against the Colorado Rockies, according to manager Gabe Kapler. Moronta is dealing with a right flexor strain. The 28-year-old right-hander saw a drop […]

Byron Buxton Returns To Lineup Tuesday

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton (knee) is back in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Indians. Buxton sat out the opening contest of the series with a sore knee due to lingering patellar tendonitis, though a day of rest and treatment appears to have him feeling better. While knee tendonitis is something that can […]

Lou Williams Expected To Play Versus Sixers

Atlanta Hawks guard Lou Williams (illness) is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He has been dealing with a non-COVID related illness, but the Hawks desperately need him back on the court. Both Trae Young (ankle) and Brian Goodwin (ankle) are going to be sidelined for this one. Williams has favorable […]

Trae Young, De'Andre Hunter Could Return Soon

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (ankle) and forward De'Andre Hunter (knee) could return by the end of the week, according to Hawks general manager Travis Schlenk. This is great news for both the Hawks and fantasy managers. Young suffered a Grade 2 sprain, so the fact that he could return by the end of the […]

Dorian Finney-Smith, Maxi Kleber Questionable On Tuesday

Dallas Mavericks forwards Dorian Finney-Smith (leg) and Maxi Kleber (back) are listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Finney-Smith is coming off a solid outing on Monday, so he is likely on the injury report as a precaution. Kleber only played 10 minutes on Monday and left due to back discomfort. […]

Kristaps Porzingis, Josh Richardson Doubtful For Tuesday

Dallas Mavericks center Kristaps Porzingis (ankle) and forward Josh Richardson (hamstring) are listed as doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. The Mavs continue to be cautious with Porzingis, so seeing him on the injury report is never shocking. Richardson is dealing with a lingering hamstring issue and could miss his third game […]

Luka Doncic, J.J. Redick Questionable For Tuesday

Dallas Mavericks guards Luka Doncic (elbow) and J.J. Redick (heel) are listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. On Monday, Doncic played 38 minutes, so the Mavs could give him a day off here. Although, Dallas is fighting for playoff seeding, so Doncic is likely a game-time decision. Redick has been […]

Starling Marte Not Expected Back Soon

Miami Marlins outfielder Starling Marte (rib) has still not been able to do any baseball activities and is not expected back soon. A report in the Miami Herald states that Marte could be out until June. It's a huge blow to fantasy lineups and the Marlins lineup as well. Lewis Brinson was called up to […]

Robert Williams III Ruled Out Tuesday

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. It sounds like his knee issue is actually day-to-day, but he was been sidelined two weeks. It's uncertain when Williams is going to get back on the court, but hopefully there will be another update soon. […]

Collin Sexton Goes Through Shootaround

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Collin Sexton (concussion) was able to get through a light shootaround prior to Monday's contest. He continues to work his way through the league's concussion protocol. It's uncertain when Sexton will be back on the court, so fantasy managers might not see him for a few more games. In the meantime, Darius […]

Luguentz Dort Active Against Celtics

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Luguentz Dort is no longer on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's game against the Boston Celtics. There wasn't anything wrong with Dort, but OKC continues to rest him frequently while they tank for draft position. Dort has been one of the few bright spots for the Thunder this season. He'll […]

Wilmer Flores Fully Recovered

San Francisco Giants infielder Wilmer Flores (illness) left the game early on Sunday against the Miami Marlins with an illness that required an IV, but he's fully recovered and started at second base on Monday and went 2-for-5 with two runs scored. Flores had been filling in at third base with Evan Longoria dealing with […]

Miguel Andujar To Play First Base At Alternate Site

New York Yankees infielder Miguel Andujar is beginning to take regular reps at the team's alternate site and will spend much of his time at first base. Andujar has been sidelined since March with a strained right hand, though it's a good sign to see him off the injured list and ramping up his activity. […]
