Eric Gordon To Be Sidelined At Least A Month

Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon (groin) is expected to miss at least four weeks, but could be out as long as six weeks. He has been diagnosed with a moderate groin strain, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect to see Gordon anytime soon. Jae'sean Tate, Ben McLemore, and Kevin Porter Jr. should see an increase in […]

New York Yankees shortstop Gleyber Torres saw his production crater during 2020.

NBA DFS Prop Picks for Friday (3/12/21) - Monkey Knife Fight

Although there are seven games on Friday's slate, only five games have been posted so far. We are waiting on the projections for Orlando, San Antonio, Houston, and Utah, but those games are likely to be on the slower, low-scoring end. The Rockets have been slipping recently and despite John Wall and Victor Oladipo producing, […]

DeMar DeRozan Unavailable For Friday

San Antonio Spurs forward DeMar DeRozan (personal) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Orlando Magic. DeRozan is away from the team as he attends his father's funeral. Dejounte Murray, Derrick White and Keldon Johnson will be asked to carry the load on offense. Lonnie Walker IV should see more minutes coming his […]

Darius Garland, Kevin Love Questionable For Friday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (groin) and forward Kevin Love (calf) are listed as questionable for Friday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Both players were able to practice on Thursday, so that's a step in the right direction. Love hasn't played since December, so expect him to be heavily restricted, assuming he does play. […]

Chris Archer Ready To Start Season With Solid Workload

Tampa Bay Rays right-handed pitcher Chris Archer hasn't pitched in a big league game since Aug. 20, 2019, having worked his way back from the dreaded thoracic outlet syndrome.

Yordan Alvarez Set For Spring Debut Sunday

Houston Astros outfielder/designated hitter Yordan Alvarez (knee) has been pegged to serve as the DH in Sunday's Grapefruit League outing against Washington, marking his spring debut. Alvarez has worked his way back from double arthroscopic knee surgery, which limited him to just two games during the 2020 year. When healthy, his power is unquestioned. Currently […]

Wade Miley Eyes Return To Mound Next Week

Cincinnati Reds left-handed pitcher Wade Miley (hamstring) departed his first Cactus League outing early Thursday night, but he said Friday that the move was largely precautionary, not wanting to aggravate the ailment so close to the start of the year.

Detroit Tigers second baseman Jonathan Schoop has been cleared to join Tigers camp. Tigers manager A.J. Hinch stated that Schoop will make his spring debut as a designated hitter this weekend.

Hunter Harvey Exits Friday With Oblique Injury

Baltimore Orioles right-handed relief pitcher Hunter Harvey (oblique) made it just one pitch through his appearance Friday before departing with a left oblique injury. While Harvey appears to be fortunate in having escaped another shoulder/arm ailment, obliques can be finicky and take extended periods to heal. After having been a heralded prospect coming up through […]

Brandon Scherff Signs Franchise Tender

Washington Football Team offensive guard Brandon Scherff officially signed his franchise tender on Friday, according to the league's transaction wire. Scherff received the franchise tag for the second straight year and will receive $18.03 million in 2021, a 20 percent increase over last season.

The Atlanta Falcons re-signed tight end Jaeden Graham as an exclusive-rights free agent to an undisclosed deal on Friday.

Wade Davis Looking Good In Spring Action

Kansas City Royals relief pitcher Wade Davis has pitched well so far this spring. He's made four appearances and has allowed two hits, two walks and no runs over four innings. He's yet to record his first strikeout. His velocity is up from last year, which is encouraging. Last year, he had an abysmal time […]

Steelers Signing B.J. Finney

The Pittsburgh Steelers are signing veteran offensive lineman B.J. Finney to an undisclosed one-year deal on Friday. The 29-year-old will give the Steelers a veteran presence on their offensive line after the retirement of center Maurkice Pouncey and with offensive guard Matt Feiler and left tackle Alejandro Villanueva possibly leaving in free agency. Finney could […]

Packers Won't Tender Tim Boyle

The Green Bay Packers will not tender impending restricted free-agent quarterback Tim Boyle, which seemingly moves Jordan Love up as Aaron Rodgers' primary backup to enter the 2021 season. Boyle will become an unrestricted free agent when the new league year begins next Wednesday. The move means that the Packers could be comfortable with Love, […]

Josh Staumont Should Make Spring Debut Soon

Kansas City Royals relief pitcher Josh Staumont saw his arrival at camp delayed due to undisclosed reasons. However, he's with the team now and he threw one inning during a simulated game on Thursday. He should be able to make his Cactus League debut soon. The right-handed Staumont was a solid arm out of the […]

Jesus Aguilar Gets Two Hits On Friday

Miami Marlins first baseman Jesus Aguilar had a solid game on Friday in Grapefruit League action against the Mets. Aguilar went 2-for-3 with an RBI while batting third and playing as the DH. He is certainly deserving of an everyday role, but he'll likely be sharing at bats with Garrett Cooper at first base since […]

Trent Sherfield Will Hit The Open Market

The Arizona Cardinals won't tender an offer to impending restricted free-agent wide receiver Trent Sherfield, according to a source. The speedy wideout and core special-teamer will hit the open market. The 25-year-old has been a useful special teams weapon for the Cardinals the last two years, seeing 202 special teams snaps in 16 games in […]

Hunter Dozier Struggling Through First Weeks Of Spring

Kansas City Royals third baseman Hunter Dozier has yet to settle in at the plate this spring. He's played in seven games and has gone 1-for-15 with six strikeouts and three walks. He's slashing just .067/.222/.267. His only hit was a home run this past Monday. Dozier signed a four-year extension with the Royals this […]

Bobby Witt Jr. Could Make Debut In 2021

Kansas City Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. has been turning heads on a regular basis this spring. Over his 10 appearances, he's gone 8-for-24 with two home runs, six RBI and seven runs. He's slashing .333/.360/.583 and showing no sign of backing down against big league pitching. Despite his hot bat, Royals beat writer Anne […]

Starling Marte Continues To Thrive In Camp

Miami Marlins outfielder Starling Marte went 1-for-2 with a walk, a stolen base, and a run scored in Friday's Grapefruit League game against the New York Mets.

Pablo Lopez Pitches Four Good Innings On Friday

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Pablo Lopez got the start in Friday's Grapefruit League game against the New York Mets and pitched well.

Faedo […]

Adrian Amos Restructures His Deal

The Green Bay Packers restructured safety Adrian Amos' contract on Friday to free up some salary cap space ahead of the 2021 season, according to a source. Amos was No. 7 among safeties with a $9.65 million salary cap charge heading into the season, so it's no surprise that the Packers restructured his deal to […]

Nolan Jones Optioned

Cleveland Indians third base prospect Nolan Jones was among several players optioned on Friday. Manager Terry Francona said the 22-year-old will continue to work at third base and in the outfield in spring training. MLB Pipeline has Jones ranked as Cleveland's top prospect, and he comes in at No. 36 overall in baseball heading into […]

Shane Bieber To Start Opening Day

Cleveland Indians manager Terry Francona said that reigning American League Cy Young winner Shane Bieber will start on Opening Day on April 1 against the Detroit Tigers. "That's probably not any big secret," Francona said. A consensus top-three fantasy starter after his lights-out 2020 campaign, Bieber will be a must-start in the season-opener against Detroit. […]

The Kansas City Royals have recently engaged shortstop Adalberto Mondesi about a long-term contract extension, according to sources familiar with the situation.
