Jose Ramirez Breaks Out Of Slump

Cleveland Indians third baseman Jose Ramirez went 1-for-4 with a two-run shot in Thursday's game against the Chicago White Sox. The two-run blast came off Lance Lynn in the sixth inning and gave the Indians a 2-1 lead, a lead which they would not relinquish. The home run was great to see as Ramirez had […]

Cesar Hernandez Records Two Hits Thursday

Cleveland Indians second baseman Cesar Hernandez went 2-for-4 with a run scored in Thursday's game against the Chicago White Sox. Hernandez has been cold to begin 2021 as he is now hitting just .178 with two RBI on the season. It was nice to see Hernandez have a solid day at the dish here and […]

Vitek Vanecek Takes On Buffalo Thursday Night

Washington Capitals goaltender Vitek Vanecek will be the team's starter for Thursday's home game against Buffalo. Ilya Samsonov is carrying an upper-body injury and is rated day-to-day, meaning Craig Anderson will be the backup here. Vanecek has a near-perfect 5-0-1 record against the Sabres this season. It's been a great debut season for him all […]

Jesper Bratt Won't Feature On Thursday Versus Rangers

New Jersey Devils winger Jesper Bratt won't be in the lineup for Thursday's meeting with the Rangers, missing his seventh game of the season. The silky winger got hurt blocking a shot in Tuesday's 3-0 loss against the Rangers and is listed day-to-day. Pavel Zacha (undisclosed) also remains out on Thursday, leaving the Devils quite […]

Artemi Panarin Should Play Thursday Night

New York Rangers left wing Artemi Panarin should be good to go on Thursday versus the Devils despite missing the morning skate. According to Rangers head coach David Quinn, Panarin missed the session for maintenance. Panarin scored his 13th goal of the season in Tuesday's 3-0 win over New Jersey, passing Mark Messier for most […]

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 […]
