Rams Optimistic They'll Re-Sign Andrew Whitworth

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay and general manager Les Snead are optimistic that the team will re-sign left tackle Andrew Whitworth, who had a base salary of $10.3 million in 2019. The 38-year-old will be entering his 15th season this year, but he's the team's best option at the position with no obvious […]

Dante Fowler, Cory Littleton Candidates For Franchise Tag

Los Angeles Rams linebackers Dante Fowler and Cory Littleton are both candidates to receive the franchise tag, and they are both expected to earn significant multi-year offers from other teams if they reach free agency. Fowler had a career-high 11.5 sacks in 2019, while Littleton has led the team in tackles the last two seasons […]

Austin Wynns Scratched From Lineup Wednesday

Baltimore Orioles catcher Austin Wynns will not play Wednesday after being hit in the groin by a foul ball several days ago, per MLB.com's Joe Trezza. This is a precautionary measure to ensure that he is fully healed before taking the field again. Consider him day-to-day going forward.

Yandy Diaz (1B/3B, TB) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~260 CURRENT ADP: ~297 overall ANALYSIS: The Tampa Bay Rays took a chance when they traded for Yandy Diaz last year after he spent two years developing in Cleveland with partial playing time. In 2019, Diaz slashed .267/.340/.476 with 14 HR, 53 R, 38 RBI, and a 10.1% walk rate, despite missing 83 […]

Jose Iglesias Has Quad Cramp, Hopeful To Play Thursday

Baltimore Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said Wednesday that shortstop Jose Iglesias is dealing with a quad cramp, per MLB.com's Joe Trezza. It is hopeful that Iglesias will return to the lineup on Thursday, so the cramp does not sound severe. The 30-year-old posted a .288/.318/.407 slash line with 11 home runs, 59 RBI, and six […]

Steelers Plan To Pick Up Vance McDonald's Option

The Pittsburgh Steelers are expected to pick up tight end Vance McDonald's $5.5 million option for the 2020 season, according to sources. McDonald would come at a salary cap hit of $7.127 million. Pittsburgh thinks he can have a bounce-back season after struggling with two quarterbacks once Ben Roethlisberger (elbow) went down for the season […]

Kemba Walker Will Rest on Wednesday

Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker (rest) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Celtics aren't taking any chances and will have most of their starters out for their second game of the back-to-back set. Gordon Hayward (knee) and Jaylen Brown (hamstring) will join Walker on the sideline. Marcus Smart and […]

Gordon Hayward is Ruled Out Wednesday

Boston Celtics forward Gordon Hayward (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. It's the second game of a back-to-back set, so the team has elected to take the cautious approach and rest Hayward. Semi Ojeleye and Grant Williams could see significant minutes in the rotation. However, Marcus Smart and Jayson […]

Jaylen Brown Won't Play Against Cavs on Wednesday

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (hamstring) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Brown tweaked his right hamstring during Tuesday's game, so it's not shocking to see him sitting out here. There's a good chance that Brown misses more than one game from this issue. Kemba Walker (rest) and Gordon Hayward […]

Ish Smith is Doubtful Versus Blazers

Washington Wizards guard Ish Smith (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Smith experienced some left hamstring tightness on Tuesday and it appears he's unlikely to play here. Shabazz Napier should see more minutes coming his way if Smith is unable to suit up. Napier could be a popular […]

Aroldis Chapman Expected To Make Spring Debut Friday

New York Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman had been scheduled to make his spring debut on Wednesday, but the 32-year-old has had his debut pushed back to Friday. The Yankees opted to have Chapman throw a bullpen session on Wednesday instead of entering the game against the Phillies, and the team insists that Chapman is fully […]

Thomas Bryant Will Rest on Wednesday

Washington Wizards center Thomas Bryant (rest) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. It's the second game of a back-to-back set, so the Wizards will let Bryant rest here. Ian Mahinmi should join the first unit, but he's not a great fantasy option. Davis Bertans and Moritz Wagner will see […]

George Hill is Downgraded to Out

Milwaukee Bucks guard George Hill (groin) has been downgraded to out for Wednesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He was originally listed as probable after suffering a groin injury on Monday. It appears that the issue is worse now, so the Bucks are going to play it safe and let Hill rest. Eric Bledsoe should […]

Devonte' Graham Could Return on Thursday

Charlotte Hornets guard Devonte' Graham (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He sat out of Tuesday's game due to left ankle soreness. Fantasy owners will have to wait until after Thursday's shootaround for more information on his status. Cody Martin would likely remain in the starting five if Graham […]

Clint Capela Will Be Evaluated in Two Weeks

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (foot) is making progress and has been cleared for impact activities. He is dealing with right plantar fasciitis and will be re-evaluated in two weeks. The Hawks only have 12 games remaining on their schedule, so there's a good chance that he's done for the season. Capela is expected to […]

Jorge Alfaro Cleared for Activities

Miami Marlins catcher Jorge Alfaro (oblique) has been cleared for activities and will begin doing, "some hitting, catching, etc." The report states that this will be a process that will take some time, but the team remains hopeful that Alfaro will be ready for Opening Day. If Alfaro starts the season on the injured list, […]

Freddy Galvis Dealing With Quad Tightness

Cincinnati Reds shortstop Freddy Galvis was scratched from Wednesday's Cactus League game with left quad tightness. Galvis was originally slated to serve as the team's designated hitter in the contest. Utility man Derek Dietrich will instead operate as the team's DH against the Chicago Cubs. There is no indication as to the severity of Galvis' […]

Danny Santana Still The Center Field Favorite

Texas Rangers manager Chris Woodward told reporters on Wednesday that outfielder Danny Santana is likely to get most of the playing time in center field to start the 2020 season. The team said earlier this year that they were hoping to get prospect Nick Solak comfortable at the position to maximize Santana's utility around the […]

Adeiny Hechavarria Still Dealing With Sore Oblique

Atlanta Braves infielder Adeiny Hechavarria (oblique) is still dealing with some tightness in his left oblique, but he may return to Grapefruit League action over the weekend. The team does not believe it is an ailment that will keep the 30-year-old out for an extended amount of time. Nevertheless, Hechavarria is only worthy of fantasy consideration […]

Mason Plumlee Nearly Records Double-Double

Denver Nuggets forward Mason Plumlee scored an efficient 16 points with nine boards in a loss to the Warriors. It was Plumlee's best game since January. Playing only 17 minutes a night hasn't amounted to much fantasy value for the veteran forward, who is probably best left on the waiver wire. Plumlee should only be […]

Eric Skoglund Dealing With Arm Tenderness

Kansas City Royals pitcher Eric Skoglund (arm) hasn't seen any action since Feb. 21, and manager Mike Matheny told reporters that Skoglund is still dealing with some arm tenderness. There is no timeline at this point, but obviously pitchers with arm issues are not something fantasy owners should be chasing. Skoglund was limited to just […]

Paul Millsap Puts Up 18 Points With Nine Rebounds

Denver Nuggets forward Paul Millsap scored 18 points with nine rebounds in a loss to the Warriors. After failing to score a basket in his last game, this was a much-needed performance for the veteran. Millsap hasn't been consistent this year, though he's managed to be a solid fantasy player. It's worth noting that he's […]

Jesse Winker Dealing With Illness

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Jesse Winker will not participate in Wednesday's Cactus League game against the Chicago Cubs as he is dealing with an illness. Winker has already dealt with a bruised left wrist/forearm this spring after getting hit by a pitch a few weeks back. There is no reason to expect Winker to miss more […]

Eric Paschall Scores 22 Points In Win Over Nuggets

Golden State Warriors forward Eric Paschall kept up his stretch of strong play with 22 points on 8-for-13 shooting from the field. Paschall added five rebounds, five assists, two triples, and a steal in a victory over the Denver Nuggets. The rookie has averaged 17.7 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 3.0 assists on 64 percent shooting […]

Nicholas Castellanos Expected Back Thursday

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Nicholas Castellanos (illness) is expected to return to Cactus League action on Thursday. Castellanos was scratched from the lineup last Friday after he got sick and hasn't played since. The veteran outfielder appears to be over the illness and should be back as in the lineup as he gets ready for his […]

Kyle Freeland Building Back Up

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Kyle Freeland (back) threw a bullpen session on Monday and is set for another one on Thursday after he left his Cactus League outing last Thursday due to back spasms. Freeland went 3-11 with an ugly 6.73 ERA in 22 starts for the Rockies last year, a season that included him […]

Jakob Junis' Back Injury Not Serious

Kansas City Royals manager Mike Matheny said that starting pitcher Jakob Junis' (back) tightness is not a serious concern. Junis may throw on the side in a day or two, but the team is just being cautious at this time. The 27-year-old righty went 9-14 with a 5.24 ERA and 1.43 WHIP while striking out […]
