Sidney Crosby Has Been Placed On COVID-19 List

Pittsburgh Penguins center Sidney Crosby has been placed on the NHL's COVID-19 protocols list and won't play on Tuesday against Philadelphia. The team was forced to cancel Tuesday's morning skate due to COVID protocols and will be in a tough spot against a surging Flyers team. With Crosby out, fantasy managers should look at Evgeni […]

Jaylen Brown Will Return For Tuesday’s Game

Boston Celtics shooting guard/small forward Jaylen Brown (knee) has been given the green light to get back into action for Tuesday's contest against the Clippers. Brown missed one outing due to a sore left knee, with his return bumping Javonte Green back to the second unit. Brown has been uncharacteristically shaky from behind the arc […]

Yoenis Cespedes Impresses During Showcase

Free-agent outfielder Yoenis Cespedes showed impressive power and arm strength during his free-agent showcase on Tuesday, according to multiple people in attendance. He took batting practice and fielded fly balls for around a dozen teams, including the Blue Jays, Brewers, Rays, Tigers, Padres and White Sox. The 35-year-old still has impressive power, but his outfield […]

Fernando Tatis Jr. In Midseason Form

San Diego Padres shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr., fresh off signing a record-breaking contract extension last month, hit a 441-foot grand slam in the second inning of the team's spring training game against the Diamondbacks on Tuesday. The Padres received the nickname "Slam Diego" after becoming the first team in baseball history to hit a grand […]

Ricardo Allen Visits With Bengals

Former Atlanta Falcons safety Ricardo Allen visited with the Cincinnati Bengals on Tuesday, according to a source. It's Allen's first known visit since he was released by the Falcons last month.

Jarren Duran Hits First Home Run Of Spring

Boston Red Sox outfield prospect Jarren Duran hit a home run in his first at-bat of the spring on Tuesday, continuing his emergence as one of the Red Sox's top prospects. The hype train started in 2019 when Duran hit .380 at High-A Salem with 18 steals in just 50 games, and it continued when […]

Saints Discussing A Malcom Brown Trade

The New Orleans Saints have had trade conversations about potentially dealing defensive tackle Malcom Brown, according to sources. In the third year of a three-year, $15 million contract, a trade or release would save the Saints around $5 million against the 2021 salary cap. Brown has appeared in 29 games with the Saints in his […]

J.P. Crawford Steals A Base Tuesday

Seattle Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford swiped a bag Tuesday in the first inning of the team's spring training game against Cleveland. Crawford is not known for his speed, and in fact he has only 14 steals for his career. However, the Mariners as a team are committed to improving their aggressiveness on the base paths […]

Willi Castro Homers, Doubles On Tuesday

Detroit Tigers shortstop Willi Castro fueled the offense in the team's 6-1 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday. Batting out of the three-spot in the lineup, Castro went 2-for-2 with a home run, a double and three RBI. It was his second home run of spring training already. Castro is coming off a strong […]

Aaron Jones A Candidate For The Franchise Tag

Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst said that impending free-agent running back Aaron Jones is a candidate for the franchise tag, but also said there are "usually better ways to avoid it." Gutekunst said he would use the tag on Jones if it is what's best for the team. Jones would make around $8 […]

Casey Mize Throws Two Scoreless Innings In Spring Debut

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Casey Mize made his first spring start against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday. He pitched two innings and allowed no hits, three walks and no runs while striking out three. The walks were certainly a bit of a letdown and a surprise. Mize averaged just 1.9 BB/9 over 21 starts at […]

Rafael Devers Hits Two-Run Home Run

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers hit a two-run home run on Tuesday against the Rays, a great sign for a star looking for a bounce-back season. After a breakout 2019 season, Devers' production fell off considerably in the shortened 2020 season. His average and OPS fell by 38 points and 113 points, respectively, […]

Spencer Torkelson Walks, Scores Run In Spring Debut

Detroit Tigers third baseman Spencer Torkelson made his spring training debut on Tuesday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. He entered the game in the third inning, replacing Willi Castro at third base. His only at-bat came in the fifth inning. He drew a walk and wound up scoring a run on a JaCoby Jones double. Torkelson […]

Texans Release Mark Fields, Brandon Williams

The Houston Texans released cornerbacks Mark Fields and Brandon Williams on Tuesday, per the league's transaction wire. Fields started the 2020 season with the Minnesota Vikings and played in two games before joining the Texans. He played in just two more games in Houston and had two total tackles. Williams appeared in six games and […]

Aaron Hicks To Bat Third

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks will primarily bat third in the team's lineup this season, according to manager Aaron Boone. That lineup likely has Hicks hitting behind two strong on-base hitters in DJ LeMahieu and Aaron Judge and in front of slugger Giancarlo Stanton, giving Hicks one of the most desirable lineup spots in […]

David Johnson Restructures Deal With Texans

The Houston Texans and running back David Johnson agreed to a restructured deal on Tuesday, according to a source. Johnson's one-year deal will be worth up to $6 million with $4.25 million fully guaranteed at signing. His total cash is lower than his previous contract, but his full guarantee for the 2021 season more than […]

Ljay Newsome To Start Instead of James Paxton Wednesday

Seattle Mariners pitcher Ljay Newsome will start Wednesday's spring training matchup against the Cubs instead of James Paxton. This change is not the result of any injury for Paxton, but rather a simple reshuffling of the early spring pitching schedule. With the Mariners planning on a six-man rotation for 2021, Newsome seems to have a […]

Austin Nola Played Through Fractured Foot In 2020

San Diego Padres catcher Austin Nola quietly played through a fractured foot after he was acquired via trade last season. Brought in midseason to bolster the lineup, Nola immediately fouled a ball off his foot, which possibly explains the modest .705 OPS he registered with the Friars. He had posted a .903 OPS with the […]

Yusei Kikuchi Solid In First Spring Start

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Yusei Kikuchi threw two solid innings in his first game action of spring training on Tuesday. The Japanese left-hander allowed one run on one hit while striking out three Cleveland batters and walking one. Not known as a great source of strikeouts, Kikuchi's fantasy value could take a big step up […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic Returning On Tuesday

Atlanta Hawks guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (knee) is expected to suit up for Tuesday's game against the Miami Heat. He has been out nearly two months due to a right knee avulsion fracture. However, it sounds like he'll be ready to play in this one, but with a minutes limit. The team is going to be […]

Tobias Harris Might Play Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (knee) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. Head coach Doc Rivers is hopeful that Harris can get out there for the last game before the All-Star break. The team is likely going to wait and see how Harris feels during pregame warmups. Mike Scott and […]

Jeremy Lamb Expected To Play Wednesday

Indiana Pacers guard Jeremy Lamb (knee) is expected to suit up for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers, according to head coach Nate Bjorkgren. It sounds like the team is being cautious since Lamb is dealing with soreness in his surgically-repaired knee. Lamb has been playing slightly above 20 minutes per game this season, but […]

Ian Happ Named Cubs Leadoff Hitter

Chicago Cubs outfielder Ian Happ will remain the team's leadoff hitter to start the 2021 campaign. Happ put together a fine season for the Cubs last year and earned the job after opening the 2020 campaign in the ninth spot of the order. Manager David Ross spoke about Happ on Tuesday and said that Happ […]

Adam Wainwright Pitches Two Scoreless Innings On Tuesday

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Adam Wainwright pitched two perfect innings in Tuesday's Grapefruit League start. Wainwright needed just 20 pitches to make his way through the first six Marlins in the lineup. He struck out one and should again be a solid if unspectacular fantasy option at the back of a solid fantasy rotation.

Keldon Johnson Might Play On Tuesday

San Antonio Spurs guard Keldon Johnson is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the New York Knicks. Derrick White, Devin Vassell and Rudy Gay are all going to be sidelined due to the NBA's COVID-19 health and safety protocols. It's unclear if Johnson will be able to suit up, but his absence would make Trey […]

LaMarcus Aldridge Ruled Out Versus Knicks

San Antonio Spurs center LaMarcus Aldridge (illness) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the New York Knicks. Possibly, the illness had something to do with Aldridge's awful performance on Monday. His absence will mean Jakob Poeltl gets heavy minutes at the center spot. He's not normally a great streaming option, but Poeltl is […]

Kevin Huerter Will Player Versus Heat

Atlanta Hawks guard Kevin Huerter (back) is available for Tuesday's game against the Miami Heat. He is dealing with upper back tightness, but it won't sideline him for this game. Huerter is coming off a strong game where he recorded a career-high six steals. However, Bogdan Bogdanovic (knee) is returning on Tuesday, but is expected […]
