Tuukka Rask Makes Comeback On Thursday

Boston Bruins goaltender Tuukka Rask (upper body) will make his return to the ice on Thursday against the Islanders, earning his 16th start of the season. He's been nursing an upper-body injury since March 25. Rask's poor health means that he's logged only three appearances since the start of last month, failing to win any […]

Broncos Could Trade DaeSean Hamilton

The Denver Broncos could decide to trade wide receiver DaeSean Hamilton in the coming weeks leading up to the NFL draft after they drafted wide receivers in the first and second rounds last year -- Jerry Jeudy and KJ Hamler, respectively. Denver also has Tim Patrick, who impressed in 2020 in an expanded role, and […]

Nerlens Noel Expected To Play Friday

New York Knicks center Nerlens Noel (ankle) is expected to be available for Friday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. He was a late scratch from Wednesday's contest, which forced Taj Gibson into the starting five. However, Gibson played well, but won't have much fantasy value off the bench. Norvel Pelle saw minutes in the teens […]

Collin Sexton Questionable Against Warriors

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Collin Sexton (groin) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors. He was a late scratch from Wednesday's game, so it wouldn't be shocking to see him miss another game. The Cavs aren't playing for much, so they don't have any incentive to rush Sexton back on the […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Could Rest Thursday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He sat out of Wednesday's game and could sit out here as well for precautionary reasons. The Bucks don't have much of an incentive to put Antetokounmpo out there at less than 100 percent. Bobby Portis and Pat […]

Corey Dickerson Has Two Hits On Thursday

Miami Marlins outfielder Corey Dickerson continued to play well in Thursday's game, going 2-for-4 with an RBI. Dickerson keeps hitting in the leadoff spot against right-handed starters, and is now hitting .263 with a .702 OPS. Once upon a time, Dickerson hit 27 home runs in a season. That power seems completely gone now, but […]

Donte DiVincenzo Listed As Questionable Versus Hawks

Milwaukee Bucks guard Donte Divincenzo (toe) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He played 23 minutes on Wednesday, but none of the starters played heavy minutes due to the fact it was a blowout. His absence would mean more minutes for Bryn Forbes and Pat Connaughton. Neither player has tremendous […]

Robert Williams III Might Sit Against Lakers

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He played 26 minutes on Tuesday but appears to have tweaked his knee in the process. His absence would mean more playing time for Tristan Thompson. Luke Kornet could also get back into the rotation, but he […]

Starling Marte Homers And Walks Twice On Thursday

Miami Marlins outfielder Starling Marte had a good game on Thursday, going 1-for-3 with two walks and a solo home run. The homer was his first of the year, and he raised his batting average to .326 and his OPS to .907 in this game. Marte is hitting second in most games and has been […]

Devonte' Graham Won't Play Versus Nets

Charlotte Hornets guard Devonte' Graham (quad) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. This is a tough break considering the Hornets are already going to be shorthanded for this contest. Brad Wanamaker (ankle) is questionable, but could have sneaky streaming appeal, assuming he suits up. Otherwise, Grant Riller and Cody Martin […]

Dylan Floro Struggles In A Save Opportunity

Miami Marlins relief pitcher Dylan Floro struggled in the ninth inning of Thursday's game against the Atlanta Braves. Floro was called upon for the save after Yimi Garcia threw 25 pitches on Wednesday night and was not available on Thursday. Floro came into a 6-5 game and allowed two singles followed by a walk to […]

Brad Wanamaker Questionable For Friday

Charlotte Hornets guard Brad Wanamaker (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He played 21 minutes on Wednesday before being forced to exit due to an ankle issue. Grant Riller could be forced into the rotation on Friday with the Hornets already shorthanded. He's not worth the gamble in most […]

Trevor Rogers Throws Five Strong Innings On Thursday

Miami Marlins rookie starting pitcher Trevor Rogers pitched a good five innings on Thursday against the Atlanta Braves. The lefty allowed two runs on three hits and three walks while striking out seven. Rogers was excellent in this one, but Ronald Acuna was able to just will a pitch off the handle of his bat […]

P.J. Washington Listed As Doubtful On Friday

Charlotte Hornets forward P.J. Washington (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Friday's matchup against the Brooklyn Nets. He has missed each of the last two games due to a sprained right ankle. There's a good chance that he misses another game, which should result in Bismack Biyombo drawing another start. Both Miles Bridges and Jalen […]

Adalberto Mondesi Making Some Progress

Kansas City Royals shortstop Adalberto Mondesi is making some progress in his recovery from an oblique injury. Mondesi was able to "do some more movements" per manager Mike Matheny- and he seems to be progressing well. The speedster is still without a timetable for return- though it's certainly positive news that he's able to build […]

Zach LaVine Expected To Miss Multiple Games

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine is expected to miss multiple games while he follows the NBA's health and safety guidelines. The Bulls were forced to cancel Thursday's practice due to health and safety protocols. It's uncertain when LaVine will get back on the court, but his absence will have a major impact on the rotation. […]

Quinn Meinerz Completes 33 Reps On Bench Press

Wisconsin-Whitewater center Quinn Meinerz (hand), considered the best center in this year's draft by some, completed 33 repetitions on the bench press on Thursday at a workout run by the Green Bay Packers. Meinerz is coming off a broken hand at the Senior Bowl, but he looks to be healthy ahead of the NFL draft […]

Ronald Acuna Jr. Hits MLB-Leading Seventh Homer

Atlanta Braves superstar outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. hit his MLB-best seventh home run of the season on Thursday off Miami Marlins starter Trevor Rogers, a day after a two-homer game. His homer was a two-run shot that came on the first pitch he saw in the fifth inning that cut the deficit at the time […]

Willy Adames, Mike Zunino Sitting On Thursday

Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Willy Adames and catcher Mike Zunino will get days off on Thursday. Both Adames and Zunino are in the midst of slumps, having each gone hitless in their last seven trips to the plate. Joey Wendle will get the start at short with Francisco Mejia behind the plate. Wendle is heating […]

Pedro Severino Sitting For Second Game Of Doubleheader

Baltimore Orioles catcher Pedro Severino will sit for the nightcap of Thursday's doubleheader against the Mariners. Severino went 1-for-3 with a base hit in the afternoon game, snapping a four game-streak without a hit. Chance Sisco will assume the catching duties and bat ninth against right-hander Justin Dunn.

David Dahl Getting A Breather Thursday

Texas Rangers outfielder David Dahl will get a breather on Thursday and won't be in the lineup against the Rays. Dahl snapped a five-game hitless streak on Wednesday, collecting a pair of hits and RBI in the 5-1 win over Tampa Bay. Eli White will return to the lineup after a day off and bat […]

Taylor Trammell Steals A Base

Seattle Mariners outfielder Taylor Trammell stole his first base of the year on Thursday, swiping second off of Orioles battery Matt Harvey and Pedro Severino. Trammell went 0-for-3 in the contest, but had managed to reach base on a fielder's choice. Trammell has not performed as well as his dynamic spring training might have implied […]

Martin Maldonado Placed On COVID-19 List

Houston Astros catcher Martin Maldonado joined four other Astros players on the injured list due to health and safety protocols on Wednesday. The hope is this move is out of an abundance of caution and Maldonado, in theory, could return to the field beginning Friday. The timing of this really stings after signing a one-year […]

J.P. Crawford Drives In Two

Seattle Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford came up with a big clutch hit in the first half of a doubleheader against the Orioles Thursday, driving in two runners with a double in the top of the sixth inning. It was Crawford's only hit in the game, but it gave the Mariners the lead for good. Thus […]

Yordan Alvarez Placed On Injured List

Houston Astros designated hitter Yordan Alvarez was placed on the injured due to health and safety protocols Wednesday. The young slugger joins four other Astros placed on the list but there are no confirmed reports whether any of the players have tested positive for COVID-19. Alvarez is off to a decent start, slugging .500 with […]

Mitch Haniger Homers Again

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger hit his third home run of the season Thursday against Matt Harvey and the Orioles. Haniger has been outstanding out of the leadoff spot, slashing .306/.321/.571 in 49 at-bats. So far, Haniger is posting a 4.1 walk percentage, which would stand as a career low. As his plate discipline levels […]

Kole Calhoun Not In Thursday's Lineup

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Kole Calhoun is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Nationals. Calhoun is getting the day off after recently making his return from the injured list, as he collected four hits, two runs scored, and an RBI in his first two contests. Pavin Smith will get the start in right […]
