Kirby Yates Likely Headed For Tommy John Surgery

Toronto Blue Jays closer Kirby Yates is likely headed for Tommy John surgery. Blue Jays general manager Ross Atkins told reporters on Tuesday that Yates was "most likely" headed for Tommy John surgery and that the team knew it was a "high-risk, high-reward play" when they inked the right-hander to a one-year, $5.5 million deal […]

Derrick Rose Remains Out Tuesday

New York Knicks guard Derrick Rose has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Washington Wizards. The veteran guard has cleared COVID-19 protocols, but needs to get up his conditioning before he gets back on the court. It could be a few games before Rose plays again and he wasn't too fantastic before he […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Practiced On Tuesday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) was able to suit up for practice on Tuesday. He sat out of Monday's game due to a left knee sprain. However, he is expected to play during Wednesday's contest, according to head coach Mike Budenholzer. Pat Connaughton would likely move into the starting five again if Antetokounmpo is […]

Goran Dragic Out Versus Suns

Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic (back) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. This will be the second game in a row that Dragic has missed due to a back issue. Avery Bradley (calf) remains sidelined as well, so that means more playing time for Kendrick Nunn and Gabe Vincent. Hopefully […]

Wayne Ellington Questionable For Wednesday

Detroit Pistons guard Wayne Ellington (groin) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He has missed each of the last four games, so it'd be surprising to see Ellington suiting up here. There is a good chance that Detroit will rest him with the trade deadline on Thursday. Frank Jackson is […]

Terrence Ross Sitting Out Tuesday

Orlando Magic guard Terrence Ross (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. This marks the fourth game in a row that Ross has missed due to knee soreness. James Ennis and Dwayne Bacon will see increased minutes without Ross on the court. Ennis is the more consistent option between the […]

The first puck drops in Philadelphia where the Flyers are reeling and hoping that a visit from the New Jersey Devils can cure what ails them. The Florida Panthers take […]

Corey Kluber Solid On Tuesday

New York Yankees starting pitcher Corey Kluber was decent on Tuesday, holding the Tigers to one run (zero earned) over 3.2 innings with four strikeouts and three walks. Kluber's 71 pitches were a spring-high for him and the most pitches he's thrown in a game since April 2019, and it's encouraging to see the 34-year-old […]

Horse For The Course: PGA DFS Course History - WGC Dell Technologies Match Play

Welcome back RotoBaller PGA family! Matt Jones played so well at PGA National that the Honda Classic turned into a snoozefest by Sunday afternoon.

Mike Tauchman Reaches Base Four Times On Tuesday

New York Yankees outfielder Mike Tauchman had a big day at the plate on Tuesday, going 2-for-2 with a home run and a pair of walks. Tauchman now has a strong .960 OPS for the spring, but he faces an uphill battle for an MLB roster spot because of outfielder Jay Bruce's successful spring and […]

Fernando Tatis Jr. Exits With Apparent Injury

San Diego Padres shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. (shoulder) exited Tuesday's game with an apparent injury. After a defensive play, Tatis came off the field with the trainer. Subsequent reports indicated the initial concern was his left shoulder. Fantasy managers and baseball fans will certainly hope the move is precautionary, but the focus will be any […]

Carlos Correa Looking Sharp Offensively

Houston Astros shortstop Carlos Correa is enjoying a productive Spring Training with one week to play before Opening Day. Correa is slashing .300/.389/.400 through 30 at-bats and is trying to bounce back after a disappointing 2020 season. In fact, it has been an "every-other-year"-type of productivity for the 26-year-old. Since 2017, Correa's OPS has been […]

Yuli Gurriel Slumping At The Dish

Houston Astros first baseman Yuli Gurriel is slumping at the plate heading into the final week of Spring Training. The 36-year-old is only 5-for-30 at the plate this spring and is slugging only .300. The veteran could simply be trying to get his timing down and Spring Training numbers need to be taken with a […]

Will Alex Bregman Be Ready To Roll?

Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman has played only three spring games heading into the final week of Spring Training. Bregman has been dealing with a hamstring injury and has only nine at-bats during the exhibition portion of the season. When healthy, Alex Bregman is a force at the plate and a top-20 play in […]

Jose Quintana Having Strong Camp

Los Angeles Angels pitcher Jose Quintana has enjoyed a fantastic Spring Training for his new team with one week to play before the regular season starts. Quintana was acquired in the offseason as a "buy-low" player and is being reunited with manager Joe Maddon. The left-handed starter has pitched himself into a role on the […]

Mike Trout Drives In Three On Monday

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout enjoyed a strong day at the plate on Monday, driving in three runs against the Cubs. There isn't much to worry about Trout's game with one week left to play in Spring Training but it would be nice to see the MVP-candidate hit the ground running out of the […]

Dexter Fowler Struggles Continue

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Dexter Fowler is scuffling at the dish heading into the final week of Spring Training. Fowler was signed in the offseason as a veteran bat and to be reunited with manager Joe Maddon. But the veteran is off to a slow start and is slashing only .179/.194/.321. Spring Training is often […]

Alex Kirilloff Optioned To Alternate Camp

Minnesota Twins outfielder Alex Kirilloff has been optioned to the team's alternate training site, per manager Rocco Baldelli. Kirilloff was believed to be the favorite for the starting left field job, though he didn't make the decision too difficult with his rough spring, as he hit just .129 with eight strikeouts compared to one walk […]

Anthony Rendon Slugging .571 This Spring

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon smacked his second home run of the spring season on Monday. Rendon is slowly rounding into shape with only a week to play before the regular season starts and is slugging .571 through 28 exhibition at-bats. Rendon put up an impressive .915 OPS during last year's shortened season […]

Francisco Lindor Blasts Fourth Spring Homer

New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor hit his fourth home run of the spring in Grapefruit League action on Tuesday. Lindor went 3-for-4 with the HR, a double, two runs scored, and two RBI in the Mets' 5-3 win over the Marlins. After a sluggish start to spring training, Lindor is now batting .476 with […]

Justin Upton Enjoying Fantastic Spring Training

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Justin Upton is having a resurgent Spring Training and fantasy teams are hoping this can carry into the regular season. Upton has disappeared off the fantasy radar the past two seasons due to injuries and ineffectiveness. But the veteran has shown signs of life, slashing .367/.424/.767 with three doubles and three […]

Isan Diaz Has Another Forgettable Spring Day

Miami Marlins second baseman Isan Diaz had another rough day in a Grapefruit League game against the New York Mets on Tuesday. Diaz went 0-for-3 at the plate, dropping his batting average to .071. He also forgot to pay attention to a play and almost got hit by a baseball while covering first base on […]

Starling Marte Gets Two Hits On Tuesday

Miami Marlins outfielder Starling Marte knocked two hits in Tuesday's Grapefruit League game against the New York Mets. He hit second in the order and ended up 2-for-3 with a double and a single. Marte is now sporting a .324 spring batting average along with a .924 OPS. He's ticketed for a spot near the […]

Miguel Rojas Drives In Two Runs On Tuesday

San Diego Padres reliever Drew Pomeranz (forearm) is expected to pitch Friday. The 32-year-old southpaw has been sidelined for two weeks with forearm tightness but tests revealed no structural damage.
