LaMarcus Aldridge Will Not Make Nets Debut Monday

Brooklyn Nets forward/center LaMarcus Aldridge (rest) is out Monday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Aldridge recently signed with the Nets following a buyout, but has not played since March 1st and will slowly get back into game shape before making his debut. It's unclear how much of a role Aldridge will get with a crowded frontcourt, […]

Coby White Might Miss Monday

Chicago Bulls guard Coby White (neck) is listed as questionable to play Monday against the Golden State Warriors. White is being listed with left cervical pain which is an area of the neck. It is unclear when this injury was picked up, but White is now in danger of missing Monday. If White were to […]

Larry Nance Jr. And Taurean Prince Questionable Monday

Cleveland Cavaliers forwards Larry Nance Jr. (illness) and Taurean Prince (shoulder) are questionable to play Monday against the Utah Jazz. With Jarrett Allen (concussion) already ruled out, the Cavaliers would be very shorthanded in the frontcourt if both Prince and Nance are unable to go. Isaiah Hartenstein is set to make his Cleveland debut and […]

Anthony Santander Should Be Ready For Opening Day

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Anthony Santander (oblique) took batting practice on a back field Monday and should be ready for the start of the season, per Baltimore Baseball's Rich Dubroff. Santander has been dealing with a "minor oblique issue" for the past week, so it is encouraging to hear that he is progressing towards being healthy […]

Mitchell Robinson Underwent Successful Surgery On Foot

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (foot) underwent successful surgery on his broken foot, but there is no timetable set for his return. An absolutely brutal break for Robinson who just returned from a broken hand only to break his foot three games later. It's safe to say Robinson will likely be done for the […]

Eric Paschall Will Miss Monday Against Bulls

Golden State Warriors forward/center Eric Paschall (wrist) has been ruled out Monday against the Chicago Bulls. Paschall just recently returned from the health and safety protocols, only to pick up a wrist injury in his first game back. Paschall will miss his sixth game out of the past seven, but his absence has not been […]

Jorge Lopez To Be Fourth Starter In Orioles Rotation

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Jorge Lopez will slot into the team's starting rotation as the number-four starter, per Baltimore Baseball's Rich Dubroff. The 28-year-old has had a strong spring, posting a 2.75 ERA and 1.22 WHIP over 19 2/3 innings pitched with 17 strikeouts. It remains to be seen if he can carry that success […]

Stephen Curry Upgraded To Probable Monday

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (tailbone) is now listed as probable to play Monday against the Chicago Bulls. Curry has missed the past week and a half with a bruised tailbone, but he "feels good enough to be ready to go tonight". With Curry likely back in the mix, Jordan Poole should shift to […]

Bradley Beal Ruled Out Monday Night

Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal (hip) will not play Monday against the Indiana Pacers. After dealing with a foot injury, Beal took a hard fall on his hip in Saturday's game and was questionable coming into Monday. With Washington entering a back-to-back set, it makes sense Beal is getting the night off. Jerome Robinson will […]

Justin Wilson To Start The Season On The Injured List

New York Yankees relief pitcher Justin Wilson (shoulder) will start the season on the injured list after dealing with shoulder tightness this spring. Wilson is still expected to avoid surgery and rejoin the team a week or so into the season, but fantasy managers should continue to monitor his progress. A solid reliever with a […]

MacKenzie Gore To Open Season In Minors

San Diego Padres top pitching prospect MacKenzie Gore will start the season in the minor leagues. Given a real shot to crack the squad this spring, Gore finished with a 4.91 ERA over 11 frames. More importantly, he walked eight batters. The 22-year-old took prospect junkies by storm in 2019 with a 1.02 ERA and […]

Aaron Judge Dealing With An Illness

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (illness) has been feeling unwell and went through coronavirus protocols as a result. Thankfully, Judge tested negative for the virus and was cleared to rejoin the team, and there is no doubt about his readiness for Opening Day. Fantasy managers should expect Judge to once again be an elite […]

George Springer Remains Day-To-Day With Oblique Strain

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (oblique) received another MRI on Monday and remains day-to-day with an oblique strain, according to Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic. Springer was diagnosed last week with a Grade 2 strain, which had come as a surprise as he reportedly had not been feeling any pain or severe symptoms. McGrath […]

Zack Britton To Return In May Or June

New York Yankees relief pitcher Zack Britton (elbow) is on track to rejoin the team in late May or early June, according to general manager Brian Cashman. Britton has been sidelined since early March due to a bone chip in his pitching elbow, and he'll miss the first two months of the season as a […]

Yankees Option Thairo Estrada

New York Yankees infielder Thairo Estrada was optioned to the minor leagues after losing a roster battle with infielder Tyler Wade this spring. Estrada is buried behind several capable players on the team's depth chart, and it's unlikely that he receives much meaningful playing time as a result. Still, Estrada offers decent contact skills and […]

Ryan Weathers Makes Padres Roster

San Diego Padres manager Jayce Tingler confirmed pitching prospect Ryan Weathers will make the Opening day roster. Despite a 7.11 ERA this spring, the 21-year-old was increasingly likely to crack the squad due to a plethora of injuries to the Friars bullpen. The team's No. 5 prospect will operate as a swingman but could earn […]

Mike Yastrzemski Exits Monday's Game After Hit By Pitch

San Francisco Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski (arm) exited Monday's game in the second inning after being hit by a pitch on a swinging third strike, according to Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle. Slusser said that the trainer came out immediately and Yastrzemski quickly exited the game. It's unclear at this time whether he […]

Tyler Wade Makes Opening Day Roster

New York Yankees infielder Tyler Wade will be on the team's Opening Day roster. Wade's defensive versatility effectively guaranteed him a spot on the team's crowded bench to start the season, but his roster spot could be threatened when first baseman Luke Voit (knee) rejoins the team in mid-May. A light-hitting 26-year-old with a career […]

Jose Trevino To Open Season As Rangers Starting Catcher

Texas Rangers catcher Jose Trevino will open the 2021 season as the No. 1 catcher for the club but he will likely be pushed all season long by a pair of young backstops. Jonah Heim, acquired from Oakland in the offseason, and Sam Huff both have the potential to be bat-first contributors at the MLB […]

Yankees Place Clarke Schmidt On The 60-Day Injured List

New York Yankees starting pitcher Clarke Schmidt (elbow) was placed on the 60-day IL with an elbow strain. Schmidt has been dealing with a tennis elbow-esque injury since late February, and his placement on the 60-day IL is reportedly just a reflection of his missing spring training. A possible midseason addition to the team's rotation, […]

Matt Barnes Cleared To Return To Red Sox

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Matt Barnes (COVID-19) has been cleared to return to the team, according to MLB Network's Joel Sherman. Sherman reports that Barnes was ruled to have a "non-infectious positive" diagnosis for COVID-19, and he has been allowed to return to activities, along with the eight others who were held out due […]

Anderson Tejeda To Get More Minor League Seasoning

Texas Rangers infielder Anderson Tejeda was a surprise contributor to the club in 2020 but he'll open this year at the alternate training site. He had a solid showing in spring training by hitting 8-for-20 (.400) with three doubles and a BB-K of 3-8 but with Nick Solak at second base and Isiah Kiner-Falefa at […]

Phillip Evans Makes Pirates' Opening Day Roster

Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Phillip Evans will be on the Opening Day roster, according to The Athletic's Rob Biertempful. Evans has gotten on base at a high clip this spring, batting .371 with a .452 on-base percentage in 14 games as he comes off a 2020 campaign in which he slashed .359/.444/.487 in 11 games. […]

Josh James Could Be Swingman On Astros Staff

Houston Astros pitcher Josh James could play multiple roles on the Astros pitching staff this season. James has enjoyed a solid spring and has experience as a starter and out of the bullpen. The 28-year-old struggled mightily last season but the right-hander will get a clean slate to start again. With pitchers like Cristian Javier […]

Kyle Schwarber Wraps Up Strong Spring

Washington Nationals outfielder Kyle Schwarber ended his spring hitting .250/.390/.583, his best spring by OPS since 2018. Although it's just a spring stat line, it does represent the kind of hitter Schwarber is: He will take his walks and whack homers, but the batting average isn't great. The newly-acquired Schwarber will be Washington's everyday left […]

Omar Narvaez Performing Well In Spring Training

Milwaukee Brewers catcher Omar Narvaez has performed well this spring with a .290 batting average to go along with three home runs and eight RBI. Narvaez was acquired from the Mariners prior to the 2020 season, but was a major disappointment in his first year with the Brewers. The catcher hit just .176 with two […]

Jose Urquidy To Start Season In Rotation

Houston Astros pitcher Jose Urquidy is ready to open the season in the starting rotation. Urquidy made a strong impression last season, posting a 1.01 WHIP and a 2.73 ERA through five starts during the shortened season. The 25-year-old now hopes to put a full season together for an Astros team that is looking to […]

Sam Huff Has Powerful Future

Texas Rangers catcher Sam Huff will open the year at the alternate training site but that doesn't mean that he won't make a big impact in the majors in 2021 and beyond. Huff had a rough spring with just one hit in 12 at-bats and he also struck out six times. The 23-year-old rookie spent […]

Kole Calhoun Could Return For Arizona's Home Opener

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Kole Calhoun (knee) could be back in the lineup by the Diamondbacks' home opener on April 9, according to Zach Buchanan of The Athletic. Calhoun has been out since the beginning of Spring Training after undergoing surgery to repair a partially torn meniscus in his right knee, and now Buchanan reports that […]
