Kyle Lowry Ruled Out For Tuesday’s Game

Toronto Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry (thumb) will miss Tuesday's contest against the 76ers due to a left thumb sprain. Lowry's absence marks his fourth straight game on the sidelines, allowing Fred Vanvleet and Norman Powell to continue seeing an increased offensive workload. Deandre Bembry has started each of the past three games in Lowry's […]

Tristan Jarry Goes For Third Straight Win

Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Tristan Jarry will try to register a third straight victory on Tuesday in Washington. The 25-year-old has been lit up multiple times this season, but he has finally found some form with 64 total saves across his last two outings. Jarry has improved his record to 5-5-1, and he has a 3.30 […]

Yoan Moncada Dealing With Arm Soreness

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada has been dealing with arm soreness and his throwing has been restricted so far in spring training. Moncada tested positive for COVID-19 prior to last season and said "It was very, very difficult for me to keep playing because I wasn't feeling like myself." Moncada finished the season […]

Cam Reddish Will Miss Tuesday’s Contest

Atlanta Hawks shooting guard/small forward Cam Reddish (Achilles) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game versus Cleveland as he battles an Achilles ailment. Reddish has started each of the past 11 games for Atlanta, but he has scuffled mightily from the field in that stretch, shooting 35.3 percent overall, including 21.3 percent from behind the […]

Vitek Vanecek Faces In-Form Penguins

Washington Capitals goaltender Vitek Vanecek will be between the pipes for the Penguins' visit on Tuesday. He will look to improve a 7-4-2 record. The Czech netminder carries a 2.92 goals-against average and a .907 save percentage for the year. Improving the numbers won't be easy, as the Penguins have found their rhythm lately with […]

Russell Westbrook Cleared To Suit Up Tuesday

Washington Wizards point guard Russell Westbrook has been given the green light to play in the second leg of the team's back-to-back Tuesday against the Clippers. Westbrook played in both legs of Washington's most recent back-to-back setting, with the concerns about him resting now appearing to be behind him. His presence limits the DFS upside […]

Mackenzie Blackwood Looks For Revenge Versus Buffalo

New Jersey Devils goaltender Mackenzie Blackwood will make his seventh start of the season on Tuesday against Buffalo, looking for revenge for Saturday's 3-2 loss. The 24-year-old suffered his first regulation defeat of the season at the weekend, which dropped his record to 4-1-1. He boasts a 2.12 goals-against average and an outstanding .938 save […]

Can Justin Upton Return To Form?

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Justin Upton will have plenty to prove this season and could prove to be an X-factor for the Angels offense. After a 2019 season ravaged by injuries, Upton was mostly healthy during the shortened season in 2020. But the veteran slumped mightily out of the gate, hitting only .099 through the […]

Texans Releasing Senio Kelemete

The Houston Texans are releasing versatile veteran offensive lineman Senio Kelemete on Tuesday, according to the league's transaction wire. The move will create around $1.5 million in salary cap space. The 30-year-old has started 42 games in his career. The Texans also released linebacker Peter Kalambayi on Tuesday. Kelemete, a fifth-round pick by the Arizona […]

Andrelton Simmons Delayed To Camp By Visa Issues

Minnesota Twins shortstop Andrelton Simmons has been delayed to the team's camp by visa issues. The exact details are unclear at the moment, though manager Rocco Baldelli described it as "travel-related"- saying that it could take a few days to resolve. Simmons signed a one-year deal worth $10.5 million this offseason to be the new […]

Travis Snider Agrees With Braves

The Atlanta Braves agreed to a $600,000 minor league deal with free-agent outfielder Travis Snider on Tuesday. Snider hasn't resurfaced in the big leagues since 2015, when he hit .232/.313/.350 with four home runs and 28 RBI in 265 plate appearances over 87 games with the Baltimore Orioles and Pittsburgh Pirates. The left-handed hitter spent […]

Jose Abreu Delayed At Camp

Chicago White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu's arrival to camp will be delayed due to additional COVID-19 antibody testing, but he's expected to be at spring training on Wednesday. Abreu won the 2020 American League MVP by posting career-highs in nearly every offensive category. But he's entering his age-34 season in 2021, and fantasy managers […]

Estevan Florial Not At Spring Training Yet

New York Yankees outfielder Estevan Florial has yet to join the team in Tampa Bay as he deals with visa issues, according to manager Aaron Boone. One of the team's top prospects, Florial made his MLB debut in 2020 but played in only one game. Still an exciting young outfielder, Florial boasts an impressive combination […]

Giancarlo Stanton Could Play Outfield

New York Yankees outfielder and designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton might spend some time in the outfield in 2021, according to manager Aaron Boone. Boone has previously stated his preference for the oft-injured Stanton to spend most of his time as the DH, so it's interesting to hear Boone mention Stanton's added flexibility for 2021. Fantasy managers […]

Tiger Woods Hospitalized After Car Crash

Tiger Woods was involved in a single-vehicle accident Tuesday morning in California. Woods was pulled from the vehicle with the "jaws of life" and the help of Los Angeles County first responders.

Plawecki hit .341/.393/.463 with 17 RBI in 24 games in his first season with the Red Sox. But the […]

Steven Adams Could Sit Out Wednesday

New Orleans Pelicans center Steven Adams (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He was able to practice on Tuesday, but his status likely hinges on how he feels during pregame warmups. Willy Hernangomez will start another game and have solid streaming appeal, assuming Adams misses another game. Jaxson Hayes […]

Rockets Release DeMarcus Cousins

Houston Rockets center DeMarcus Cousins has been released by the organization one week after having his contract guaranteed through the rest of the season. An odd decision by the team, but they likely want to go with a small-ball strategy going forward. It's unclear how much value Cousins will have on the open market. His […]

Jacob deGrom Throws Impressive Bullpen Session Tuesday

New York Mets manager Luis Rojas reported that starting pitcher Jacob deGrom hit 99 mph in his bullpen session on Tuesday. Incredibly, it already sounds like deGrom is in midseason form. deGrom followed up his second consecutive National League Cy Young award season in 2019 by posting another gem in 2020. He finished 2020 with […]

Nick Yorke A Non-Roster Invite To Camp

Boston Red Sox second baseman Nick Yorke, an 18-year-old that was the 17th overall pick last June out of high school, is in big-league spring training camp as a non-roster invite. Manager Alex Cora said that Yorke is in a better place physically and has lost some weight since last season. Yorke was a surprise […]

Kevin Love Remains Without A Timetable

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Kevin Love (calf) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He continues to slowly work his way back from a right calf strain that he suffered in December. The team is going to be cautious with the veteran forward, so it's unclear when he'll get back on the […]

Nick Pivetta Impressing In Bid For Rotation Spot

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Nick Pivetta, who is fighting for a rotation spot this spring, has impressed the team's coaching staff early in camp. The Red Sox acquired Pivetta from the Phillies last August in exchange for relievers Brandon Workman and Heath Hembree. "He proved it last year in a small sample size. I […]

Chris Godwin Likely To Be Franchise Tagged By Buccaneers

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin is likely to be franchise tagged by the team this offseason. The team wants Godwin back- and he wants to return, though he made it clear that he is seeking a long-term payday. The window to tag players opened on Tuesday, but the Buccaneers will likely work towards […]

Cam Reddish Could Sit Out Versus Cavs

Atlanta Hawks forward Cam Reddish (Achilles) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He was originally probable for this contest, but it sounds like he has been downgraded as game time approaches. His absence would mean more minutes for Kevin Huerter, while Tony Snell and Solomon Hill could get involved as […]

Eduardo Rodriguez Throws Live Batting Practice

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez (heart) threw live batting practice on Tuesday for the first time in spring training after missing all of the 2020 season due to inflammation of his heart. Manager Alex Cora said that Rodriguez "looks good" and that the ball was coming out of his hand effortlessly like before. […]

Rajon Rondo Should Play Tuesday

Atlanta Hawks guard Rajon Rondo (back) is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He has not played in a few weeks due to a lower back issue, but appears rested and ready to play. The Hawks are shorthanded right now, so Rondo might be able to hold low-end streaming appeal. Cam […]

Kristaps Porzingis, Maximilian Kleber Ruled Out Tuesday

Dallas Mavericks center Kristaps Porzingis (back) and forward Maxi Kleber (ankle) have been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Boston Celtics. It's unclear when exactly Porzingis will get back on the court, but Willie Cauley-Stein and Dwight Powell will be asked to pick up the slack. Cauley-Stein has been the better of the two […]

Wayne Ellington Won't Suit Up Versus Magic

Detroit Pistons guard Wayne Ellington (rest) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Orlando Magic. It's the first game of a back-to-back set, so Ellington should be back for Wednesday's contest. He was on fire in January, but has cooled off lately, but part of that could be because of a calf issue. […]

Injuries Continue To Hamper Tommy Pham

San Diego Padres outfielder Tommy Pham was limited to just 31 games in the shortened 2020 season due to a left hamate fracture in his hand. The career .277/.373/.472 (126 OPS+) hitter batted just .211/.312/.312 (74 OPS+) when on the field in his first season with the Padres. But Pham walked and struck out as […]

Injury To Blame For Eugenio Suarez's Down Season?

Cincinnati Reds third baseman Eugenio Suarez had surgery in January of last year after a freak right shoulder injury, and it could've been largely responsible for his down 2020 season. He hit .118/.268/.235 with just four extra-base hits in his first 20 games. Suarez slashed a more respectable .246/.336/.592 with 19 extra-base hits and 13 […]
