Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate (back) landed on the injury report on Thursday after being a limited participant in practice due to a back injury.

The New York Mets are engaged with free-agent starting pitcher Trevor Bauer and expect to hear something in the next 24 hours or so.

Lucas Giolito Working On New Pitch

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Lucas Giolito has been working on a new pitch that he refers to as the "downer" with new pitching coach Ethan Katz. The pitch is a modified curveball.

OG Anunoby Out Friday Against Nets

Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby (calf) has already been ruled out for Friday's game against the Brooklyn Nets.

P.J. Washington Doubtful For Friday

Houston Rockets guard/forward David Nwaba (ankle) is expected to go through warm-ups before Thursday's game against the Grizzlies, with head coach Stephen Silas saying Nwaba has a "small chance" to play.

Kristaps Porzingis Off The Injury Report

Otto Porter Ruled Out For Friday

Chicago Bulls forward Otto Porter (back) won't play against the Orlando Magic on Friday in the first half of a back-to-back due to back spasms.

Reggie Perry Sent To G-League

Brooklyn Nets center/forward Reggie Perry has been sent to the team's G-League affiliate for the G-League bubble season in Orlando. Perry flashed some decent play during his brief time in Brooklyn, but the team signed Norvel Pelle recently, who'll be that emergency big at the end of the bench. Perry wasn't fantasy relevant and Pelle […]

Derrick Jones Jr. Ruled Out For Thursday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Derrick Jones Jr. (foot) won't play Thursday against the Philadelphia 76ers.

Patrice Bergeron Finishes Four-Point Night With Game-Winner

Boston Bruins center Patrice Bergeron scored the game-winning goal in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime victory against Philadelphia, adding three assists for a spectacular four-point night.

Bobby Dalbec (1B, BOS) - 2021 Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleepers

It is safe to say Bobby Dalbec surprised us all as he came up and smacked eight home runs in just 23 games. A prospect known for his power, the production isn't as much as a surprise as how quickly it clicked for him. But be mindful, this came with a 42.4% strikeout rate and […]
