Kansas City Royals pitcher Brady Singer got off to a rough start in his second spring outing on Monday against the Oakland Athletics.

Logan Webb Working On Off-speed Pitches

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Logan Webb was told that he needed to focus on throwing his off-speed pitches for strikes more frequently this spring, per Mercury News' Kerry Crowley. Webb did a good job of that in Monday's 2-2- tie against the Diamondbacks, pitching two scoreless innings with three strikeouts. Webb said all three […]

Joel Embiid In Danger Of Missing Time

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (health and safety protocols) may not play on Thursday against Chicago. After Embiid and Ben Simmons were in contact with a barber who tested positive for COVID-19, the duo didn't play during Sunday's All-Star game. Both players will need to continue to test negative for five consecutive days before they […]

Carey Price Gets Nod Versus Canucks On Monday

Montreal Canadiens goaltender Carey Price will man the crease as his team takes to the road to square off against the Vancouver Canucks on Monday night. The 33-year-old last made an appearance in his team's 7-1 victory over Winnipeg on Saturday in which he stopped 28 of 29 shots against. It's been a bit of […]

Dak Prescott Signed To Extension

The Dallas Cowboys and quarterback Dak Prescott have agreed to a four-year contract extension worth $160 million. Prescott will have a no-trade clause and a no-tag provision, with $126 million in guaranteed money. The move solidifies Prescott's role as the starting quarterback in Dallas, and getting an extension done rather than slapping the franchise tag […]

Ben Simmons Could Sit On Thursday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Ben Simmons (health and safety protocols) is in danger of missing Thursday night's matchup against the Bulls. After Simmons and teammate Joel Embiid were exposed to a barber who tested positive for COVID-19, the pair weren't able to play during Sunday's All-Star game. They will both need to test negative for five-straight […]

Jonathan Quick Day-To-Day With Injury

Los Angeles Kings goaltender Jonathan Quick will not dress as his team faces off against the Anaheim Ducks on Monday night. The 35-year-old has been listed as day-to-day after suffering a lower-body injury in his team's victory over the Blues on Saturday.

Trevor Zegras Returns To Lineup On Monday

Anaheim Ducks forward Trevor Zegras will be re-inserted into his team's lineup versus the Los Angeles Kings on Monday. The 19-year-old rookie was healthy scratched for the first time in his young career in Saturday's victory over the Avalanche. Zegras' production has been quite limited since receiving his first NHL call-up on February 22nd - […]

Timo Meier Won't Play On Monday

San Jose Sharks forward Timo Meier will be sidelined with a lower-body injury and miss his team's contest against the St. Louis Blues on Monday. The 24-year-old missed Saturday's loss to Vegas with the injury as well. It should be considered tough news for fantasy owners who held onto Meier as struggled out of the […]

Nathan MacKinnon, Cale Makar Remain Out On Monday

Colorado Avalanche center Nathan MacKinnon (upper body) and defenseman Cale Makar (upper body) remain out for Monday's contest against Arizona but should feature later in the week.

Israel Adesanya Unsuccessful In His Bid For "Double Champ" Status

Though he is no longer undefeated as a professional mixed martial artist, Israel Adesanya (20-1) has nothing to be ashamed of, suffering a unanimous decision loss to the much bigger opponent, light heavyweight champion Jan Blachowicz. Still, the UFC's middleweight champion, Adesanya landed 78 significant strikes (99 total strikes) along with only stuffing two of […]

J.P. Crawford Looking For More Power in 2021

Seattle Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford showed off a vastly improvement glove in 2020, but this year he's looking to shore up his power game as well. Last year, Crawford's strikeout rate dropped to 16.8 percent, six percent lower than the previous year, but the contact he made didn't often go for extra bases. In fact, […]

Jan Blachowicz Turns In A Career Performance To Retain Title

Doing what many thought he would not be able to do, "Polish Power" Jan Blachowicz (28-8) defeated the previously undefeated and current UFC middleweight champion, Israel Adesanya. In a battle for the light heavyweight title, Blachowicz proved to be a step too far and too big for the smaller Adesanya. Statistically, Blachowicz scored mightily, earning […]

Joey Daccord Makes Second Start Of The Season

Ottawa Senators goaltender Joey Daccord will make his second start of the year in Monday's matchup against the Oilers. The 24-year-old produced a 3-1 loss to Montreal in his first start.

Megan Anderson Unable To Capitalize In Co-Main Event Spot

Unable to capitalize on the title shot opportunity, Megan Anderson (11-5) was only able to last 2:03 into the first round with arguably the greatest women's MMA fighter of all-time, Amanda Nunes, losing by submission. It was extremely rough statistically for Nunes as well, only landing two significant strikes in the two-plus minutes of action. […]

Jake Fraley No Longer The Favorite To Start In Left Field

Seattle Mariners outfielder Jake Fraley entered camp as the favorite to be the starting left fielder on opening day, but the opportunity may be slipping away from him. First it was the phenom Jarred Kelenic who seemed likely to overtake Fraley, but since Kelenic went down with an injury, Taylor Trammell has now emerged as […]

Amanda Nunes Does It Again And Secures A Big First-Round Victory

Continuing her dominant reign over MMA, Amanda Nunes (21-4) secured a solid victory in her second featherweight title defense. In just 2:03 of the very first round, Nunes locked in an inverted armbar-triangle on the much taller Megan Anderson. Nunes will continue to sit as the highest or second-highest salaried fighter on DraftKings every time […]

Mikko Koskinen Starts On Monday Night

Edmonton Oilers goaltender Mikko Koskinen will be between the pipes for Monday's visit of the Ottawa Senators. Koskinen was heavily used at the start of the season, but Mike Smith has earned the majority of starts since last month. The 32-year-old picked up three wins and two losses in February so it was a decent […]

Petr Yan Drops Title In Very Bizarre Situation

Petr Yan (15-2) suffered his first loss in the UFC and lost his bantamweight championship in one of the most bizarre championship fight endings in the sport's history. In the fourth round, Yan struck Sterling with an illegal knee. Though he was up on the majority of scorecards, the referee ruled the shot intentional, and […]

James Paxton To Throw Another Simulated Game

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher James Paxton will throw another simulated game Tuesday. Paxton has yet to pitch in a Cactus League matchup thus far, but the Mariners insist he is healthy, and the lack of regular action is just a matter of scheduling and logistics. Mariners fans and fantasy managers are surely eager to see […]

Aljamain Sterling Wins Championship In Bizarre Manner

In one of the wildest finishes in UFC championship history, Aljamain Sterling (20-3) walked out of the Octagon as the new UFC bantamweight champion, but not in the way he probably envisioned. Down on two of the three judges' scorecards in the fourth round, Sterling took an illegal knee to the head from Petr Yan. […]

Ville Husso Aims For Fifth Straight Victory

St. Louis Blues goaltender Ville Husso has a chance to extend his winning streak to five games in Monday's meeting with San Jose. He had a very tough time at the start of the year but has managed to completely turn it around, and owns a nice 5-2-0 record with a 3.55 goals-against average and […]
