Betts is off to a […]

Luis Castillo Bounces Back In Second Start

Cincinnati Reds right-hander Luis Castillo bounced back from a disastrous Opening Day start to earn the win over the Pittsburgh Pirates in an 11-4 game.

Dallas Keuchel Fails To Earn Quality Start

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Dallas Keuchel earned a no-decision against the Seattle Mariners on Wednesday. The lefty veteran left with two on and no outs in the bottom of the sixth inning, before those runs would off of reliever Matt Foster. Keuchel finished with a line of five innings with four hits, three runs, […]

Connor Brown Scores In Fifth Consecutive Game

Ottawa Senators winger Connor Brown extended his goal streak to five games in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to Edmonton.

John Wall Will Be Limited Against Dallas

Houston Rockets point guard John Wall (knee) will play limited minutes in his return Wednesday against the Dallas Mavericks. The coaching staff did not specify the minutes limit, but it makes sense given Wall's multi-game absence and plethora of injuries he has dealt with this year. Wall holds significant shut down risk and can severely […]

Maxi Kleber Sitting Against Houston

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Maxi Kleber (leg) is out Wednesday against the Houston Rockets. Kleber is dealing with lower leg soreness so he'll get the night off in the first leg of a back-to-back set. When Kleber sat out the last back-to-back set, Nicolo Melli got the spot start and put up 10 points and eight […]

Trent Grisham Due To Return Friday

San Diego Padres outfielder Trent Grisham (hamstring) is due to be back with the team on Friday, according to MLB.com's AJ Cassavell. Grisham has been out since March 11 with a left hamstring strain. Managers are eagerly awaiting Grisham's return, and they hope to see him build off a 2020 campaign in which he hit […]

Kristaps Porzingis Good To Go Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (wrist) will play Wednesday against the Houston Rockets. Porzingis missed two games with a wrist injury, but the team expected him to return Wednesday. Porzingis will take value away from Nicolo Melli and Boban Marjanovic and take away some usage from the remaining starters. Melli may still have streaming value […]

Caleb Smith Moves From Rotation To Bullpen

Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Caleb Smith has been moved from the starting rotation to the bullpen, according to The Athletic's Zach Buchanan. Manager Torey Lovullo made the announcement on Wednesday, after Smith's rough outing on Saturday in which he allowed four runs — three earned — on five hits and three walks in three innings against […]

Bradley Beal And Robin Lopez Good To Go Wednesday

Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal (hip) and center Robin Lopez (quad) will play Wednesday against the Orlando Magic. Beal will make his return after a five-game absence due to a hip injury. Beal's return should push Raul Neto back to the bench and take some usage away from Russell Westbrook. Lopez left Monday's game with […]

Tyler Naquin Hits Fourth Homer In Four Games

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Tyler Naquin hit his fourth home run in as many games on Wednesday, as he finished 1-for-5 in an 11-4 victory over Pittsburgh. Filling in while Jesse Winker has been out with an illness, Naquin has been on fire at the plate as three of his last four hits have left the […]

Ian Kennedy Nails Down Second Save

Texas Rangers reliever Ian Kennedy recorded his second save of the season and struck out the side during the club's 2-1 victory on Wednesday. Despite being one of the last players to be named to the opening day roster, the 36-year-old reliever has been an integral part of the club's bullpen. Over three innings, he's […]

Danilo Gallinari Will Sit Against Memphis

Atlanta Hawks forward Danilo Gallinari (ankle) will not play Wednesday against the Memphis Grizzlies. Gallinari is dealing with ankle soreness and was questionable before being ruled out. Gallinari missed a bunch of games in the beginning of the season due to an ankle injury so the Hawks are likely being cautious on the second leg […]

Charlie Blackmon Not In Lineup On Wednesday

Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon is getting the day off on Wednesday and will sit in favor of Yonathan Daza, who will bat eighth against Madison Bumgarner and the Diamondbacks. Blackmon had started in each of the first five games of the year for Colorado and is currently 2-for-19 with a double, a home run […]

Clint Capela Ruled Out For Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (Achilles) will not play Wednesday against the Memphis Grizzlies. Capela was questionable with Achilles soreness which has been a reoccurring issue this season for the big man. Onyeka Okongwu will likely get the spot start on Wednesday and be tasked with containing Jonas Valanciunas. Okongwu has played well in limited […]

Andre Drummond, Kyle Kuzma Listed As Probable For Thursday

Los Angeles Lakers center Andre Drummond (toe) and forward Kyle Kuzma (calf) are listed as probable for Thursday's matchup against the Heat. Drummond has missed the last three games with a toe injury, though he has a fairly good chance of returning for a tricky matchup against Bam Adebayo. Kuzma seems likely to play, given […]

Tristan Thompson To Play In "Small Bursts" Wednesday

Boston Celtics forward/center Tristan Thompson will play in "short bursts" on Wednesday against the New York Knicks. Thompson is returning to play after sitting since March 14, and head coach Brad Stevens does not want to push the veteran big man in his return. Thompson is nothing more than a rebounding streamer at this point with […]

Joe Ross Will Start Friday Against Dodgers

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Joe Ross will get the start on Friday against the Dodgers, according to Jessica Camerato of MLB.com. It will be his first appearance since 2019, as he opted out of the 2020 season due to COVID-19 concerns. Ross struggled over his last three years on the mound, posting a 5.21 ERA […]

Rui Hachimura Available To Play Wednesday

Washington Wizards forward Rui Hachimura (shoulder) is good to go for Wednesday's game against Orlando. Hachimura missed the last two games with right shoulder tightness but was given the green light to return to the court. He should be on his normal minutes' count, which would be good news for his fantasy value, given that […]

Brandon Ingram, Kira Lewis Jr. Out Against Nets

New Orleans Pelicans guard Kira Lewis Jr. (calf) and forward Brandon Ingram (foot) are both out Wednesday against the Brooklyn Nets. Ingram appears closer to making a return, but will miss his fifth-straight game while Lewis will miss his second straight. The Pelicans have lost three of the past four games without Ingram and are […]

Bradley Beal A Game-Time Decision Wednesday

Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal (hip) is a game-time decision for Wednesday's contest with the Magic. Beal has been a game-time call the past few games and has missed each of them. He'll likely test out his hip in the pregame shootarounds, though don't be surprised if he's forced to miss another one. Russell Westbrook […]

Mike Soroka To Be Shut Down Two Weeks

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Mike Soroka (Achilles, shoulder) will be shut down from throwing for two weeks, according to David O'Brien of The Athletic. Soroka exited his simulated game appearance after one inning on Tuesday with right shoulder inflammation. It's another setback for Soroka, who is trying to work his way back from a torn […]

Malcolm Brogdon To Miss Fourth Straight Game

Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon (hip) will miss his fourth straight game Wednesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Brogdon is still dealing with a hip injury and does not have a concrete timetable to return, but it should be sooner rather than later. Brogdon's absence has opened the door for Edmond Sumner to start, but T.J. […]

Evan White Leaves Game With Injury

Seattle Mariners first baseman Evan White (quad) was forced to leave Wednesday's game against the Chicago White Sox after experiencing tightness in his left quad. White seemed to be limping after beating out a run-scoring fielder's choice. Jose Marmolejos subsequently took the field in White's place. Stay tuned for further updates, but it would be […]

Billy Hamilton Exits Early

Chicago White Sox outfielder Billy Hamilton (hamstring) exited Wednesday's contest versus the Seattle Mariners early due to injury. After stealing third base in the top of the fifth inning, Hamilton was seen grabbing his hamstring. Hamilton initially stayed in the game but was replaced in the bottom of the fifth inning. Hamilton finished the game 0-for-1 […]
