Yasmani Grandal To Play Saturday

Chicago White Sox catcher Yasmani Grandal (knee) is scheduled to play in the Cactus League game on Saturday against the Angels. Grandal twisted his right knee during running drills on Feb. 24, but he got four at-bats in a B game against the Rangers on Friday. He finished 1-for-4 and will start as the designated […]

Brailyn Marquez Behind In Camp

Chicago Cubs pitching prospect Brailyn Marquez remains behind the rest of the team's arms in spring training after his delayed start to camp, but he has been working through a throwing program, according to manager David Ross. Marquez is ranked by MLB Pipeline as baseball's No. 63 prospect and as Chicago's top prospect. The 22-year-old […]

John Wall, Christian Wood Could Play Tuesday

Houston Rockets guard John Wall (knee) and center Christian Wood (ankle) could return for Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. The main factor to this losing streak is the fact that the Rockets cannot stay healthy. Kevin Porter Jr. will have plenty of streaming appeal for Friday's contest. He'll likely be worth adding in most […]

Craig Kimbrel Struggling Through Delivery Issues

Chicago Cubs closer Craig Kimbrel was charged with four runs in two-thirds of an inning in Friday's Cactus League game against the Brewers. The veteran right-hander has been sorting through delivery issues this spring and has allowed nine runs on seven hits with two walks and one strikeout in 2 2/3 innings. Although it's still […]

Davis Bertans Won't Return On Friday

Washington Wizards forward Davis Bertans (calf) will not return for the rest of Friday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. The team is calling it calf tightness, so they will play it safe and let Bertans rest. He finished with three points, one rebound, and one turnover. Troy Brown and Deni Avdija should see more playing […]

Miguel Amaya Optioned Friday

Chicago Cubs catching prospect Miguel Amaya, ranked No. 89 by MLB Pipeline and the team's No. 3 overall prospect, was optioned to Double-A Tennessee on Friday. Catcher Taylor Gushue was also reassigned to minor league camp, leaving veteran Jose Lobaton and P.J. Higgins as the only catchers in major league camp behind Austin Romine, who […]

Anthony Rizzo Optimistic About Extension

Chicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo is optimistic about the chances that he'll reach a long-term contract extension with the team. Without a new deal, he will be eligible for free agency next offseason. Rizzo is now 31 years old and is entering his 11th season in the major leagues, but he'd like to chase […]

Mitch Haniger Scratched Due To Wet Field

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger was a late scratch from Friday's Cactus League matchup against the Cincinnati Reds. Haniger was set to lead off and play right field. Luis Liberato replaced Haniger in the lineup. This is reportedly a result of the wet field in Arizona, not an injury, as the Mariners are being cautious […]

Kevin Porter Jr. Joins The Starting Five

Houston Rockets guard Kevin Porter Jr. will jump into the starting five for Friday's game against the Utah Jazz. He is coming off an excellent performance and should see plenty of looks in this one. Eric Gordon (groin) is going to be sidelined for the foreseeable future, so Porter is worth adding in most formats. […]

Trey Lyles Will Start On Friday

San Antonio Spurs forward Trey Lyles will move into the starting five for Friday's game against the Orlando Magic. DeMar DeRozan (personal) is away from the team in order to attend his father's funeral. It's uncertain when he'll be back with the organization, so Lyles will benefit in the meantime. LaMarcus Aldridge won't be playing […]

Jarrett Culver Unlikely To Play Versus Blazers

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Jarrett Culver (toe) is listed as doubtful for Saturday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. The Wolves have no incentive to rush Culver back on the court, so expect him to miss multiple games. Jaylen Nowell is coming off a strong performance and is looking like a reliable short term fantasy option. […]

Jordan McLaughlin Ruled Out For Saturday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Jordan McLaughlin has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He is currently sidelined due to the NBA's health and safety protocols, so it's unclear if he'll be ready in time for Sunday's contest. In the meantime, Ricky Rubio will see all the minutes he can handle. He […]

Mikko Lehtonen Heads To Columbus In Trade

The Toronto Maple Leafs traded defenseman Mikko Lehtonen to the Columbus Blue Jackets on Friday in exchange for goaltender Veini Vehvilainen. The Leafs were looking for some goalie depth and happily gave up Lehtonen, who managed only nine outings for the team during his debut campaign in the NHL. Lehtonen, who posted three points for […]

Hamidou Diallo Traded To Detroit

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Hamidou Diallo has been traded to the Detroit Pistons for forward Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk and a 2027 second-round pick. Diallo is just 22 years old and is averaging career-highs across the board, but his playing time has been a bit up and down. He could have a nice role on the Pistons […]

Tomas Hertl, Timo Meier Return To Sharks Lineup

San Jose Sharks forwards Tomas Hertl and Timo Meier (lower body) will rejoin the lineup for Friday's road game at Anaheim. Meier missed only a couple of games, while Hertl hasn't played since Feb. 22 while on the COVID-19 list, so he will make a long-awaited return. The two are set to skate on the […]

Devan Dubnyk Faces Ducks On Friday

San Jose Sharks goaltender Devan Dubnyk will start Friday's clash with the Ducks, looking to pick up a second consecutive win. The veteran netminder was sitting on just one win for the season, before finally having some joy again in Monday's 3-2 overtime victory against St. Louis. He now carries a 2-5-2 record with a […]

Jonathan Quick Placed On Injured Reserve

Los Angeles Kings goaltender Jonathan Quick (upper body) has been placed on Injured Reserve retroactive to March 6. He is listed day-to-day so it seems like the veteran netminder isn't dealing with anything serious. The team has also announced that Cal Petersen has been removed from the COVID-19 list, so Troy Grosenick's return to the […]

Philipp Grubauer Starts Against L.A. On Friday

Colorado Avalanche goaltender Philipp Grubauer will be the team's starter for Friday's meeting with the Kings. The German netminder has a 13-7-0 record for the season with a 2.05 goals-against average, a .917 save percentage, and three shutouts. He's been very good throughout the campaign, and the team has helped him a lot as well, […]

Kevin Love To Play, Darius Garland Ruled Out Friday

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Kevin Love (calf) will be suiting up on Friday against the Pelicans. Guard Darius Garland (groin) has been ruled out. Love hasn't seen game action since December, making him a dicey DFS play given that a reduced workload is probably heading his way. Collin Sexton could see even more usage with Garland […]

Mike Smith Goes For Another Win Versus Ottawa

Edmonton Oilers goaltender Mike Smith will look to make it back-to-back wins against the Senators on Friday. He stopped 21 pucks in Wednesday's 7-1 victory against Ottawa when Evgenii Dadonov ruined his shutout bid late in the game. Smith improved to 8-2-0 for the season, and he now boasts a 2.18 goals-against average and a […]

Nate Pearson To Throw Bullpen On Saturday

Toronto Blue Jays injured starter Nate Pearson (groin) is set to throw a bullpen session on Saturday, according to manager Charlie Montoyo. The right-hander has thrown just one inning this spring due to a groin injury. Montoyo acknowledged that Pearson will not be ready to pitch out of the starting rotation at the beginning of April, […]

Cam Talbot Guards Minnesota's Cage On Friday

Minnesota Wild goaltender Cam Talbot will be between the pipes for Friday's meeting with the Coyotes. The Wild are giving some time off to Kaapo Kahkonen, who has put together a spectacular eight-game winning streak. Talbot is carrying a three-game losing streak himself and is 4-4-1 for the season. He had a very good start […]

Packers Alter Preston Smith's Contract

The Green Bay Packers altered outside linebacker Preston Smith's contract on Friday to lower his salary cap number for the 2021 season, according to a source. Smith will have an $8 million salary with a $200,000 workout bonus, a $300,000 46-man roster bonus, a $6.5 million signing bonus and a $1 million base salary. He'll […]

Joel Embiid To Suit Up Against Wizards

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid will suit up against the Wizards on Friday night. Embiid missed the All-Star game and his team's first game of the second half on Thursday while in the league's COVID-19 health and safety protocols, but he'll be back out there, presumably at 100 percent. The star big man has scored at […]

Thomas Hatch To Work As A Starter In 2021

Toronto Blue Jays starter Thomas Hatch will be developed as a starter in 2021 despite his success out of the bullpen in 2020, according to manager Charlie Montoyo. The young pitcher struggled with his control while making his first appearance of the spring on Friday but allowed just one unearned run over two innings. He […]

Bradley Beal Will Play Friday

Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal (knee) will suit up in Friday's game against the 76ers. Beal was listed as questionable with knee soreness, but he had only missed two games previously with an injury this year, so it's not surprising to see him listed as active for the contest. There isn't anything to suggest that […]

Marc-Andre Fleury Good To Go On Friday

Vegas Golden Knights goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury will start on Friday on the road against St. Louis. The Flower entered the league's COVID-19 list this week but only spent a day on it. He is looking to bounce back after getting pulled ahead of the third period in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to Minnesota. Fleury is 12-5-0 […]

Ha Ha Clinton-Dix Visits With Raiders

Former Dallas Cowboys and Chicago Bears safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix visited with the Las Vegas Raiders on Friday, according to a source. The Raiders continue to search for secondary help prior to free agency officially kicking off next Wednesday. Clinton-Dix last played for the Bears in 2019. The 28-year-old from Alabama has started 90 games […]
