Mitch Keller Struggles Against Blue Jays on Monday

St. Louis Blues goaltender Ville Husso will take the crease as his team takes on the Anaheim Ducks on Monday night. The Blues' backup netminder is coming off a win on Saturday over the Sharks in which he stopped 19 of 21 shots against in relief. Husso has only appeared in six games and while […]

Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Merrill Kelly looked sharp on the mound Monday despite taking the loss against the Brewers. Kelly's only mistake of the day was a two-run homer in the first inning, as he finished with a line of five strikeouts, one hit, one walk and two runs allowed over two innings of work. Last […]

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Dereck Rodriguez was hit hard in Monday's start against the Los Angeles Dodgers in Cactus League play.

In 25 minutes of action, Rozenstruik was only able to connect on 42 significant strikes. Rozenstruik spent most of his time sitting back waiting for […]

Ciryl Gane Does What Is Needed To Take Saturday's Main Event

Remaining undefeated, French heavyweight Ciryl Gane (8-0) controlled all five rounds to win Saturday's main event. Though it was lackluster overall in fireworks, Gane did what was needed to get the win. In 25 minutes of action, Gane landed 102 significant strikes (128 total strikes) along with only landing two of his 14 takedown tries. […]

Gordon Hayward Likely To Miss Another Game

Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward (hand) is listed as doubtful for Monday's matchup against Portland. The veteran didn't suit up on Sunday against Sacramento, and with the All-Star break right around the corner, it wouldn't be a surprise if he didn't play on Wednesday against Minnesota. With the Hornets also without a few other key […]

Nikita Krylov Unable To Take The Decision In Co-Main Event

Entering the Octagon as the eighth-ranked UFC light heavyweight, Nikita Krylov (27-8) was unable to defeat the rising star in Magomed Ankalaev, losing by unanimous decision. Krylov actually out-struck Ankalaev in the significant-strike department, landing 47 compared to Ankalaev's 43. The difference came in their total striking, where Krylov only landed 58 compared to Ankalaev's […]

Jameson Taillon Efficient On Monday

New York Yankees starting pitcher Jameson Taillon looked good on Monday, tossing a clean seven-pitch inning with one strikeout. Monday was Taillon's first game action since he underwent Tommy John surgery in 2019, and he showed few signs of rust with his impressive performance. Taillon still has to work his changeup back into his pitch […]

Magomed Ankalaev Has An Impressive Showing

The 11th-ranked UFC light heavyweight out-struck and out-grounded the eighth-ranked Nikita Krylov on Saturday night.

Eric Gordon Out, John Wall Starting Monday

Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon (knee) will not play, but John Wall (rest) is starting Monday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Gordon was questionable to play, but the Rockets are on the second leg of the back-to-back and this could be a rest day for the veteran guard. Wall, on the other hand, is starting which […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic Upgraded To Questionable Tuesday

Atlanta Hawks guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (knee) is listed as questionable Tuesday against the Miami Heat. Bogdanovic may not play in this one, but the questionable tag is a very encouraging sign for Bogdanovic who has not played since January 9th. Bogdanovic will likely see restrictions once he has returned to the lineup, but is an […]

Titans Re-Sign Breon Borders

The Tennessee Titans re-signed cornerback Breon Borders on Monday to an undisclosed deal. Borders was an undrafted rookie free agent out of Duke and spent much of last season on the practice squad before being promoted to the active roster. He recorded 27 tackles, one interception, six passes defensed and one tackle for a loss […]

Jimmy Butler Questionable To Play Tuesday

Miami Heat guard/forward Jimmy Butler (knee) is questionable to play Tuesday against the Atlanta Hawks. Butler missed the first game of this mini-series on Sunday with knee inflammation, but could return to the court on Tuesday. Butler's status will likely be determined closer to tip-off, but if he is unavailable, Kendrick Nunn, Tyler Herro and […]

Texans Release Josh McCown On Monday

The Houston Texans released quarterback Josh McCown on Monday, according to the NFL's transaction wire. The 41-year-old played in three games for the Eagles in 2019 and became the league's oldest practice-squad player after he served as an emergency quarterback at the start of last season. McCown was signed to the active roster in November, […]

Montana De La Rosa Saved By First-Round Point Deduction

Montana De La Rosa (11-6-1) has a one-point deduction against Mayra Bueno Silva in the first round to thank for her walking out of the Octagon with the draw on Saturday. During a takedown attempt, Silva grabbed the cage, initiating the point deduction by the referee. In a round easily won by De La Rosa, […]

Jerami Grant Questionable Against Raptors

Detroit Pistons forward Jerami Grant (quad) is questionable to play Tuesday against the Toronto Raptors. It's possible this game does not happen given the state of Toronto's roster, but Grant is dealing with a left quad contusion. If Grant is ultimately ruled out, Josh Jackson, Isaiah Stewart and Sekou Doumbouya are all candidates to see […]

Bears Release Buster Skrine

The Chicago Bears released cornerback Buster Skrine on Monday, according to a source. Skrine, a 10-year veteran who will turn 32 years old in April, played 68 percent of the defensive snaps in 2019, but he missed the final four games and the playoffs due to the sixth reported concussion of his career. He had […]

Ronald Acuna Jr. Looks Great To Start Spring

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. was 1-for-3 with a double and a run scored during Monday's 5-3 Spring Training win over the Boston Red Sox. The 23-year-old looked especially quick on the base paths, perhaps because of his noticeable weight loss over the offseason. Acuna is one of the best fantasy players in all […]

Jeremy Lamb Ruled Out Monday With Sore Knee

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Jeremy Lamb (knee) will not play Monday against the Philadelphia 76ers. Lamb left Saturday's game with soreness in his left knee and will remain on the sidelines in this one. This is a bit concerning as this is Lamb's surgically repaired knee and could be out through the All-Star break if the […]

Gary Sanchez Homers On Monday

New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez had an excellent game on Monday, crushing a 429-foot home run in his only plate appearance while receiving positive feedback on his defense from starting pitcher Gerrit Cole. An ugly 36% strikeout rate fueled a down year for Sanchez in 2020, and his poor offensive production combined with his […]

Malcolm Brogdon Playing Against Sixers

Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon (knee) will start Monday against the Philadelphia 76ers. Brogdon missed a game with a knee injury, but it will only be a one-game absence as he should see his normal starting role on Monday. T.J. McConnell will return to the bench, but is still a great fantasy option for assists […]

Gerrit Cole Struggles On Monday

New York Yankees starting pitcher Gerrit Cole labored through a 28-pitch inning during which he allowed one run on three hits with no strikeouts on Monday. Monday's performance shouldn't change the way fantasy managers value Cole heading into 2021; he showed no signs of injury (not that any were reported) and hit 99.5 mph on […]

MacKenzie Gore Cleaning Up Mechanical Issues

San Diego Padres pitching prospect MacKenzie Gore fanned three in a simulated game over the weekend, taking a positive step towards his impending big league debut. His first spring training start comes Thursday against the Texas Rangers. Despite myriad injuries to the rotation in 2020, the Friars top prospect arm did not receive a call-up. […]

Joel Embiid In, Tobias Harris Out Monday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (ankle) is starting, but forward Tobias Harris (knee) will not play Monday against the Indiana Pacers. Embiid was "very questionable" to play in this one, but he must have had a successful shootaround and feels good enough to play. If Embiid is hobbled at all, Dwight Howard would be first […]

Costly Deduction Costs Mayra Bueno Silva A Victory

Mayra Bueno Silva (7-1-1) cost herself a victory on Saturday's main card. In Round 1, Silva was deducted one point for grabbing the cage on a takedown attempt by Montana De La Rosa.
