Vladimir Tarasenko Very Close To Season Debut

St. Louis Blues right wing Vladimir Tarasenko (shoulder) is set to make his season debut during the team's six-game road trip which started this weekend in San Jose. He has been a full participant at the team's practices and now only needs to get the green light from team doctors to make his return to […]

Nolan Arenado Goes Hitless In His Spring Cardinals Debut

St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado played third base and hit cleanup in the first Cardinals Grapefruit League game of 2021. He ended up 0-for-2 with a strikeout, but that's absolutely nothing to worry about. Despite moving to a much less hitter-friendly home field, Arenado might not see any change in his fantasy value […]

Giovanny Gallegos Strikes Out Two In His Spring Debut

St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher Giovanny Gallegos pitched a perfect inning in Sunday's Grapefruit League Opening Day, striking out two. Gallegos threw 12 pitches, eight for strikes in a dominant inning as the Cardinals and Nationals played to a 4-4 tie. Gallegos has been excellent over the past two seasons, combining for a 2.53 ERA, […]

Alexander Radulov On The Cusp On Returning

Dallas Stars right wing Alexander Radulov (lower body) looks set to return to the lineup next week when the team starts a four-game homestand. Head coach Rick Bowness has said that the veteran winger likely won't be available for the first half of the homestand but should be back for the final two games. Radulov, […]

Jack Flaherty Gets Off To A Rough Start On Sunday

St. Louis Cardinals Opening Day starting pitcher Jack Flaherty got off to a rough start in the first Cardinals Grapefruit League game on Sunday. Flaherty got the start but only pitched one inning, allowing three runs on four hits and three walks while striking out one. Flaherty threw 39 pitches in his lone inning, just […]

Trae Young Will Play Sunday

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (adductor) will take the court on Sunday against the Heat. Young was listed as questionable, though he will be out there after struggling through Friday's game to the tune of 7-of-21 shooting. Still, he's largely been excellent this month and won't have a minutes restriction against Miami, so he should […]

Miles Mikolas Won't Pitch On Monday As Scheduled

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Miles Mikolas (elbow) will not pitch in a simulated game on Monday as he was scheduled to do. Cardinals manager Mike Schildt said the decision was made out of caution "for now" but did not provide much more clarity. Teams are always very careful with their pitchers at this point […]

EPL Betting Picks for Matchweek 26: English Premier League Part 2

If last weekend was heartbreaking, this weekend was devastating. Let's quickly look at the picks; West Brom and Brighton both to score (prediction 1-1). What happened? West Brom won 1-0, while Brighton missed two penalties and had a goal controversially ruled out, awarded, then disallowed again due to a refereeing error. Wolves to beat Newcastle […]

Cam Reddish Remains Sidelined On Sunday

Atlanta Hawks forward Cam Reddish (Achilles) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Miami Heat. This marks the fourth game in a row that Reddish has missed due to Achilles soreness. There is a good chance that the Hawks continue to hold him out until after the All-Star break. Danilo Gallinari stands to […]

Davis Bertans Listed As Questionable On Sunday

Washington Wizards forward Davis Bertans (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Boston Celtics. He was also on the injury report ahead of Saturday's contest and still managed to play 20 minutes. It's a back-to-back set, so possibly the Wizards take the cautious approach here. Deni Avdija would benefit the most, assuming […]

Rafael Montero The Clear Favorite For Saves

Seattle Mariners reliever Rafael Montero has the inside track on the closer job for 2021. The right-hander was acquired from the Texas Rangers over the winter, and despite a late arrival to spring training, he has already made a strong impression on manager Scott Servais. Servais complimented Montero's attitude and approach, noting how well the […]

Gary Harris Ruled Out Against Bulls

Denver Nuggets guard Gary Harris (groin) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Chicago Bulls. The loss of Harris is going to hurt with R.J. Hampton, Paul Millsap (knee), and JaMychal Green (shoulder) all sidelined as well. There are going to be plenty of minutes available for guys like Michael Porter Jr., Will […]

Seth Jones Finishes Off Successful Month With An Assist

Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman Seth Jones collected his 11th assist of the season on Sunday's 3-1 loss to Nashville. He combined with Riley Nash to set up Kevin Stenlund for his fourth goal of the year. Jones had a really rough start to the season, managing only one point in January, but he found plenty […]

Will Vest Impresses In First Spring Outing

Seattle Mariners reliever Will Vest made a strong impression in his first game action of the spring, setting down three Padres in order, including two strikeouts. Vest, added as a Rule 5 pick from the Tigers system in December, is a candidate for a remade Seattle bullpen. The right-hander has big strikeout potential, sporting a […]

J.J. Redick Upgraded For Monday

New Orleans Pelicans guard J.J. Redick (hamstring) has been upgraded to questionable for Monday's game against the Utah Jazz. It sounds like Redick is trending in the right direction, but fantasy managers shouldn't get too excited. The team might still take the cautious approach with Redick being a possible trade candidate. He has been shooting […]

Joel Embiid Could Sit Out Against Pacers

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He tweaked his ankle on Saturday, but was still able to put up 42 points in the losing effort. The team is likely going to wait until pregame before deciding whether or not Embiid will play. Tony Bradley […]

Eeli Tolvanen Pots Game-Winner On Power Play

Nashville Predators winger Eeli Tolvanen scored the game-winning goal on a power play in Sunday's 3-1 victory over Columbus. Erik Haula notched a short-handed goal and Nick Cousins found the net as well. Tolvanen has been Nashville's top prospect for years now, but he has failed to deliver until now. There are signs of the […]

Jaylen Brown Won't Play Versus Wizards

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Washington Wizards. The team is calling Brown day-to-day after his knee flared up on him. Head coach Brad Stevens believes Brown could return as early as Tuesday versus the Los Angeles Clippers. Grant Williams, Aaron Nesmith and Semi Ojeleye should […]

Willi Castro (SS, DET) - 2021 Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleepers

The Detroit Tigers currently have five players ranked amongst the top-25 of MLB.com’s prospect rankings. No other team has more than two. However, the most intriguing fantasy sleeper for 2021 amidst Detroit’s roster might be someone who wasn’t included on that list, 23-year-old Willi Castro. He’s no longer prospect-eligible with 229 MLB at-bats under his […]

Kyrie Irving Likely To Be Back On Monday

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving (shoulder) may be back on Monday night against San Antonio. The veteran sat out during Saturday's loss to the Dallas Mavericks, seemingly to rest the surgically-repaired shoulder that caused him to sit out for most of the 2020 season. With Irving potentially back in the mix, Landry Shamet and Timothe […]

Danilo Gallinari Will Play Against Miami

Atlanta Hawks forward Danilo Gallinari (forearm) will play on Sunday against Miami. The veteran hasn't missed any time due to spasms in his right forearm and should benefit with Cam Reddish (Achilles) in line to miss his fourth-straight. Fantasy managers should keep Gallinari on the radar, especially in DFS contests, as the upside is certainly […]

Jimmy Butler Could Miss Sunday’s Contest

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (knee) may not suit up on Sunday night against the Hawks. Butler logged 34 minutes against the Utah Jazz on Friday night and wasn't listed on Saturday's injury report. However, the inflammation in his right knee is apparently bad enough to hold him out potentially. If Butler is absent, Bam […]

Michael King Struggles In First Spring Start

New York Yankees starting pitcher Michael King pitched poorly in his first spring training start of the year on Sunday, allowing three runs over two innings with one strikeout. Fantasy managers shouldn't read much into one start, but every performance matters for King as he fights an uphill battle for a job in the team's […]

Elfrid Payton On Track To Miss Third-Straight Contest

New York Knicks guard Elfrid Payton (hamstring) is listed as doubtful against the Pistons. With a third-straight absence seemingly likely, the 27-year-old may find himself sitting past the All-Star break while he continues to work his way back from right hamstring soreness. In his place, look for Derrick Rose to draw the start against his […]

Colin Blackwell Pots Another Goal

New York Rangers winger Colin Blackwell notched the team's only goal in Sunday's 4-1 loss to Boston, scoring for the fourth time in six games. He also had a team-high five shots and three hits with two penalty minutes and a minus-one rating in 17:48 on the ice. The 27-year-old winger now has five goals […]

Ivan Nova Clobbered In First Spring Start

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Ivan Nova allowed five runs while only recording one out in his Grapefruit League debut on Sunday. Nova allowed a home run on his first pitch of the game and things went downhill from there as the veteran couldn't escape the first inning. The Phillies inked Nova to a minor league […]

Gordon Hayward Downgraded Against Sacramento

Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward (hand) has been downgraded to doubtful leading up to Sunday's outing against the Sacramento Kings. While the injury doesn't appear to be serious, it wouldn't be a surprise if the veteran's absence extends beyond the upcoming All-Star break. In his place, look for Malik Monk, who had 25 points off […]

Charlie Coyle Scores Twice In Sunday's Win

Boston Bruins forward Charlie Coyle produced two goals in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Rangers, netting the first and last goal of the game. The latter was a short-handed tally. David Pastrnak had two assists and Charlie McAvoy enjoyed a multi-point outing with one goal and one assist. Coyle, who added a team-high five shots […]

Cody Zeller Likely To Miss Another One

Charlotte Hornets forward Cody Zeller (hip) is listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's matchup with Sacramento. The veteran appears to be on the path to miss his second-straight outing as he continues to work his way back from a left hip contusion. With Zeller likely to sit, look for P.J. Washington to get the start […]

Gregory Polanco Homers in Spring Training Debut

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Gregory Polanco went 1-for-3 with a home run and three RBI in a 6-4 Pirates' victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Sunday afternoon. Coming off the worst season of his career in 2020, Polanco showing off some power early this spring will be a welcome sight for managers who hope to see […]
