Anthony Bass The Early Front-Runner For Saves

Miami Marlins manager Don Mattingly went to relief pitcher Anthony Bass often when discussing the team's closer role on Wednesday, according to Craig Mish of the Miami Herald. The ninth inning would seem to be an open competition after Brandon Kintzler did not re-sign with the Marlins, but Mattingly is already favoring Bass before even seeing […]

Kyle Higashioka Won’t Be Gerrit Cole’s Personal Catcher In 2021

New York Yankees catcher Kyle Higashioka won't start the season as starting pitcher Gerrit Cole's personal catcher in 2021, according to manager Aaron Boone. Catcher Gary Sanchez's all-around struggles last season, combined with Cole's improved performance with Higashioka behind the plate (1.00 ERA with Higashioka, 3.91 ERA with Sanchez), has fueled speculation that Higashioka would primarily […]

P.J. Tucker Ruled Out Versus Sixers

Houston Rockets forward P.J. Tucker (thigh) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He was listed as questionable, but the Rockets are going to play it safe here. Tucker has been brought up in recent trade rumors, so it's not surprising to see Houston taking the safe approach here. Danuel House […]

Eric Gordon Uncertain For Wednesday

Houston Rockets forward Eric Gordon (groin) is expected to be a game-time decision for Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He has missed each of the last two games due to a groin issue. The Rockets could desperately use Gordon on the court with multiple players already sidelined. Jae'sean Tate and David Nwaba would see […]

Monte Morris, Gary Harris Questionable Versus Wizards

Denver Nuggets guards Monte Morris (shoulder) and Gary Harris (groin) are listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. Morris sat out of Tuesday's game, which resulted in Facundo Campazzo getting the start. Harris would be a much better fantasy option, assuming Morris is out and Harris is cleared to play. Otherwise, Jamal […]

Ian Anderson Potential Rookie Of The Year Candidate In 2021

Atlanta Braves starter Ian Anderson did not see a ton of action in 2020, but when he was on the mound, he was dominant. The 22-year-old proved he was one of the best pitching prospects in baseball, compiling a 1.95 ERA and 11.4 K/9 across 32 1/3 innings in 2020. He ramped up his performance […]

Will Barton, Paul Millsap Ruled Out For Wednesday

Denver Nuggets forwards Will Barton (personal) and Paul Millsap (knee) will not suit up for Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. Barton has missed each of the last two games due to personal reasons, so it's unclear when he'll get back on the court. Michael Porter Jr. has been the biggest winner here in terms […]

Sekou Doumbouya Remains Out Versus Bulls

Detroit Pistons forward Sekou Doumbouya (head) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Chicago Bulls. This will be his third game in a row sidelined due to a concussion.

De'Anthony Melton, Desmond Bane Out On Wednesday

Memphis Grizzlies guards De'Anthony Melton (shoulder) and Desmond Bane (personal) have been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Melton will miss his sixth straight game, and it's unclear when he'll get back into the rotation. Bane will sit out his fourth straight contest while he deals with personal issues. Tyus Jones, Sean […]

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Will Play Wednesday

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (knee) will suit up for Wednesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. This will be his first game back since missing each of the last four contests due to a left knee sprain. Kenrich Williams and Hamidou Diallo will see their roles reduced with Gilgeous-Alexander returning. Theo Maledon and Luguentz […]

Frankie Montas Not At Camp Due To COVID-19

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Frankie Montas did not report to A's camp after he tested positive for COVID-19. According to reports, Montas tested positive seven days ago and will report to camp once he clears the league's safety protocols. The right-hander flopped to a 5.60 ERA last season, but his 4.40 SIERA suggests he was […]

Pittsburgh GM Won't Commit To Ben Roethlisberger As Starter

Pittsburgh Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert would not commit to Ben Roethlisberger as the team's starting quarterback for the 2021 season after being asked about the signal-caller's status several times during a press conference on Wednesday. Colbert stated, "As we sit here today, Ben is a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers. He reiterated to us […]

Sean Murphy Expected Back For Opening Day After Lung Surgery

Oakland Athletics catcher Sean Murphy (lung) did not report to camp as he recovers from offseason surgery due to a collapsed lung. Manager Bob Melvin said the surgery was at least a couple of weeks ago, and that Murphy should be back for Opening Day. The hope is for Murphy to return during camp and […]

Brad Miller Agrees With Phillies

The Philadelphia Phillies agreed to a one-year, $3.5 million deal with free-agent infielder Brad Miller on Wednesday. The 31-year-old left-handed bat will bring versatility around the infield at second base, shortstop and first base. He spent the shortened 2020 season with the Cardinals and hit .232/.357/.451 with seven home runs and 25 RBI in 142 […]

Luis Arraez Ready For Challenge Of Playing Left Field

Minnesota Twins utility man Luis Arraez said he's feeling "way better than last year" and is "looking forward to the challenge of playing left field."

Joaquin Niemann Looking For Better Results At Riviera

Joaquin Niemann has not played great in his first couple starts at Riviera, but his recent play suggests he may produce better results this year. Niemann has made the cut in all eight of his starts this season and has finished second in each of his last two tournaments. Niemann is long off the tee, […]

Cameron Champ Has Struggled At Riviera

Cameron Champ enters this week with three consecutive missed cuts, and he has also missed the cut in all three of his starts at Riviera. He crushes the ball off the tee, but he has struggled with all other areas of his game. Champs's approach shots have been inconsistent, and his short game has been […]

Hayden Hurst Could Thrive In New Falcons Offense

Atlanta Falcons tight end Hayden Hurst could be a beneficiary of new head coach Arthur Smith's offensive scheme in 2021. Hurst was a popular breakout pick heading into last season's fantasy drafts- it didn't exactly work out that way- though he still had a fine season, totaling career-highs in every receiving category and developing a […]

Harold Ramirez Designated For Assignment

Miami Marlins outfielder Harold Ramirez was designated for assignment on Wednesday morning to make roster room for reliever John Curtiss, who was acquired from the Tampa Bay Rays. Ramirez should draw some trade interest now that he has been designated for assignment, and the Marlins will have 10 days to figure out a deal. Ramirez […]

Sergio Garcia Set To Attack Riviera

Sergio Garcia is set to make his 14th start at Riviera, where he has made the cut in 11 of his 13 starts. He has seven top-25 finishes at Riviera but has not notched a top-30 finish since 2015. His distance off the tee will give him an advantage, but he needs to improve on […]

Ndamukong Suh Wants To Return In 2021

Tampa Bay Buccaneers impending free-agent defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh clearly wants to return to the team in 2021 and play with quarterback Tom Brady again after winning Super Bowl LV over the Chiefs. "My goal is to come back and have an opportunity to go win another championship," Suh said. After 11 years in the […]

Alex Smith Thinks He Has Room For Growth

Washington Football Team quarterback Alex Smith, last year's Comeback Player of the Year, appeared in eight games (six starts) and completed 66.7 percent of his passes while going 5-1 after nearly losing his leg due to injury in 2018. Smith strained the calf in the same leg late in the season, but it was unrelated […]

Clint Frazier Will Start In 2021

New York Yankees outfielder Clint Frazier was named the team's starting left fielder by manager Aaron Boone on Wednesday. That announcement should come as no surprise after Frazier posted a .905 OPS in 39 games last season, but the 26-year-old's playing time has been unusually inconsistent so far in his MLB career and it's encouraging […]

Miles Mikolas On Track For 2021

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Miles Mikolas (elbow) is reportedly on a normal schedule at the start of spring training this week. Mikolas suffered a flexor tendon strain around this time last season and ended up missing the shortened 2020 season. Barring any setbacks, though, Mikolas should be back in the starting rotation this season and […]

Jonathan Quick Shuts Out Wild On Tuesday

Los Angeles Kings goaltender Jonathan Quick earned his first shutout of the season, blanking the visiting Minnesota Wild 4-0 on Tuesday. The 35-year-old, who has now posted a 3.42 goals-against average and a .887 save percentage through seven starts, turned aside all 28 shots faced in the contest. The two-time Stanley Cup Champion looked as […]

Jeff Brigham Sent To 60-Day Injured List

Miami Marlins pitcher Jeff Brigham was placed on the 60-day injured list on Wednesday morning. This created a 40-man roster spot for the newly signed Adam Duvall. Brigham pitched just once in 2020 due to issues with COVID-19 and a biceps strain to go with it. Brigham has worked mostly in mop-up duty at the […]
