Minnesota Twins first/third baseman Miguel Sano went 1-for-2 with a pair of walks and a solo homer. Sano's homer was his first of the season, a 404-foot blast that left his bat at an exit velocity of 107.3 MPH. The 27-year-old third baseman has been in the midst of a slump, though he's now put […]

Trevor Story Getting A Day Off On Thursday

Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story is absent from the lineup on Thursday vs. Julio Urias and the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Lewis Thorpe To Start Friday's Game

Minnesota Twins pitcher Lewis Thorpe is slated to make a start on Friday against the Angels.

Florida Panthers defenseman Brandon Montour will make his debut with his new team on Thursday, facing off against the Tampa Bay Lightning. The 27-year-old was acquired from the Buffalo Sabres in exchange for a 2021 third-round draft pick on Saturday.

Charlie Blackmon Absent From Thursday's Lineup

Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon is out of the lineup for Thursday's game vs. the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Rockies are facing a lefty in Julio Urias but this just looks like a day of rest for the veteran outfielder.

Kevin Lankinen Guards The Cage Thursday

Chicago netminder Kevin Lankinen will backstop his team on Thursday against Detroit. Lankinen sports a 16-11-4 record on the year with a 2.79 goals-against average and a .915 save percentage.

Juuse Saros Between The Pipes Thursday For Nashville

Nashville Predators goalie Juuse Saros makes his 25th appearance in the 2021 campaign on Thursday against Carolina.

Collin Sexton Available Thursday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Collin Sexton (groin) is available to play in Thursday's game against the Warriors.

His return will mean fewer chances for Darius Garland and a return to […]

Ryan Tepera Suspended Three Games

Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Ryan Tepera has been suspended three games for throwing behind Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Brandon Woodruff on Tuesday.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Aleksej Pokusevski Out Friday

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (foot) and forward Aleksej Pokusevski (arm) are both out for Friday's game against the Pistons. Gilgeous-Alexander remains out with plantar fasciitis- and it wouldn't be entirely surprising to see the team shut him down for the remainder of the season with little left to play for. Pokusevski's absence should […]

Lonzo Ball Listed As Probable For Friday's Game

New Orleans Pelicans guard Lonzo Ball (hip) is expected to suit up for Friday's game against the Wizards. Ball has missed the last four games with a hip injury, though it sure seems like he'll be back in action against Washington.

Lance Lynn Suffers Tough Loss

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Lance Lynn put together another strong performance on Thursday versus the Cleveland Indians.

Carter Hart Starts Thursday For Philadelphia

Philadelphia Flyers netminder Carter Hart will mind the crease Thursday against in-state-rival Pittsburgh. Hart and the Flyers have had their ups and downs in 2021. Hart has a losing record of 8-11-5 and seems to be lacking confidence between the pipes. He carries a lackluster goals-against average of 3.79 and an .872 save percentage. Versus […]
