Kenta Maeda Tosses Four Scoreless Innings In Final Spring Tune-Up

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Kenta Maeda pitched four scoreless innings, allowing three hits while striking out four batters in Friday's outing against the Braves. It marked Maeda's final start of what was an excellent spring- as he registered a 0.49 ERA in 18.1 innings with an ace-like 22-1 strikeout-to-walk ratio. The 32-year-old right-hander is slated […]

Kawhi Leonard Earns Questionable Tag For Saturday's Contest

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (foot) is considered questionable for Saturday's game against the 76ers. Leonard was able to suit up for the first game of his team's recent back-to-back against San Antonio- and was quite effective on both ends of the floor- before sitting out the second game due to right foot soreness. […]

Bradley Beal Listed As Questionable For Saturday

Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal (foot) has been listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Pistons. Beal is dealing with a sore foot, though it would certainly be a surprise to see him miss a contest. Fantasy manager should expect him out there for a favorable matchup against a bad Pistons team. If he […]

Collin Sexton A Game-Time Decision Against Lakers

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Collin Sexton (hamstring) is a game-time decision against the Lakers on Friday night. Sexton missed Wednesday's game with a sore right hamstring, though he appears to have a shot at suiting up Friday night- given he was able to practice Thursday. Darius Garland is a name to watch if Sexton can't suit […]

De'Andre Hunter Downgraded To Questionable Against Warriors

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (knee) has been listed as questionable for Friday's contest with the Warriors. Hunter was initially listed as probable for the tilt with Golden State, though his knee appears to be bothering him enough that his status is more up-in-the-air. If Hunter sits, Tony Snell and Solomon Hill could see added […]

NASCAR Truck Series: DraftKings DFS Lineup Picks for Bristol Pinty's Truck Race on Dirt (3/27/21)

We've got a new track on Saturday, as they've thrown a bunch of dirt on top of Bristol Motor Speedway and decided we'd go dirt racing this weekend. A bunch of Cup drivers are in this race, but because we won't have a starting lineup until Saturday afternoon after some heat races, we don't really […]

Luka Doncic Ruled Out Friday Against Pacers, Could Return Saturday

Norman Powell Making Trail Blazers Debut Friday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Norman Powell will debut with his new team on Friday against the Magic. Fresh off of a trade from the Raptors, Powell will enter the starting five for Portland against a Magic team that has allowed the fourth-most FanDuel points per game to opposing small forwards. While it might take him […]

Jusuf Nurkic In Starting Lineup Friday

Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic is making his anticipated return to the lineup on Friday against the Magic. Nurkic has missed the majority of the season after suffering a fractured wrist on January 14-though he'll be back- albeit on a minutes restriction, with head coach Terry Stotts saying that he'll only play five minutes […]

Jimmy Butler Playing Friday

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (illness) is suiting up on Friday against the Hornets. Butler is dealing with a stomach illness, which kept him out of Thursday night's game, though he'll be out there for an excellent matchup with Charlotte. They've allowed the fifth-most FanDuel points to small forwards, so Butler should be a strong […]

Yankees Option Deivi Garcia

New York Yankees starting pitcher Deivi Garcia was optioned to the minor leagues on Friday. It's no surprise that the Yankees opted to have starting pitcher Domingo German start the season in the team's rotation over Garcia, and Garcia is unlikely to make much of a fantasy impact for most of the season as a […]

Mike Fiers Expected To Open Season On Injured List

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Mike Fiers (hip/back) threw a bullpen session Friday, but is still expected to begin the season on the injured list according to Shayna Rubin. Fiers has been a decent arm for Oakland in the past few seasons, but a sub-20 percent strikeout rate severely limits his fantasy appeal. The 35-year-old righty […]

Joey Lucchesi May Be Used Behind An Opener This Season

New York Mets starting pitcher Joey Lucchesi may be used behind an opener this season, The Athletic's Tim Britton reports Friday. According to Britton, the Mets will test this out in Saturday's game where Jacob Barnes will serve as an opener for Lucchesi, who has allowed three runs on four hits and three walks while […]

Jackie Bradley Jr. May Not Be Ready For Season Opener

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr. (wrist) is scheduled to play in a spring training game Saturday, but general manager David Stearns said it's "still a little bit to be determined" whether the outfielder is ready for Opening Day, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Brad Boxberger Released By Brewers

The Milwaukee Brewers released relief pitcher Brad Boxberger on Friday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. The 32-year-old was unable to secure a spot on the big-league roster to open the season, though Milwaukee apparently hopes to re-sign him on another minor-league deal. Boxberger had a 3.00 ERA, 1.39 WHIP, and 18:8 K: BB over 18 […]

Jake Bauers Will Be Opening Day First Baseman

Cleveland Indians first baseman Jake Bauers has won the starting job and will be the Opening Day first baseman, The Athletic's Zack Meisel reports. Bauers was competing with prospect Bobby Bradley for the starting job at first this spring, and despite Bradley (.303/.314/.636) outperforming Bauers (.200/.429/.280), Bradley was the odd man out by virtue of […]

Jordan Zimmermann Released By Brewers

The Milwaukee Brewers released Jordan Zimmermann on Friday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. The 34-year-old was unable to secure a spot on the Opening Day roster, though the Brewers are still hoping to re-sign the veteran via a minor-league deal.

The Cincinnati Reds released shortstop Dee Strange-Gordon on Friday, ending his bid to make the team after signing as a non-roster invitee earlier in the spring. Strange-Gordon, a former NL batting champion and All-Star, saw his chances to make the team hurt by the Reds' decision to shift Eugenio Suarez over to shortstop from third […]

BYU quarterback Zach Wilson didn't take part in any physical testing at his school's Pro Day on Friday after tweaking his hamstring a few weeks ago, choosing to stick with a throwing session and measurements.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Walker Buehler told MLB.com's Juan Toribio earlier this week that he believes the struggles he has had with his fastball this spring are temporary, and that it shouldn't affect him much heading into the regular season.
