Asdrubal Cabrera Could Start At Third Base

Washington Nationals infielder Asdrubal Cabrera has "embraced" a role as a mentor to fellow infielder Carter Kieboom. Cabrera is likely also the backup plan to start at third if Kieboom isn't ready at the beginning of the season. Certainly Cabrera would be more valuable as a primary starter than mostly coming off the bench. He […]

Cam Reddish Pours In 22 Points Against Charlotte

Atlanta Hawks wing Cam Reddish shot eight of 14 across 40 minutes to finish a double-overtime victory over the Hornets with 22 points, seven rebounds, and three three-pointers off the bench. Reddish was coming off a 12-minute nine-point outing in the loss to Memphis on Saturday, so this was certainly a bounce-back effort for the […]

Trae Young Posts An Incredible Line Versus Charlotte

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Blake Snell (elbow) walked four of the five batters he faced in his return to Grapefruit League action on Monday before being pulled.

Danny Jansen Slugs Grand Slam

Toronto Blue Jays catcher Danny Jansen kept his strong spring going with a grand slam off Rays right-hander Trevor Richards on Monday.

Jim Furyk Looks To Make Another Run At The Players

Jim Furyk made a surprising charge at last year's Players Championship to log a surprising runner-up finish.

His recent poor results can be mostly attributed to a […]

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~260-270 CURRENT ADP: ~284 overall ANALYSIS: Niko Goodrum is on pace to start the year as Detroit’s everyday shortstop, but has insane versatility that allows him to fill in wherever needed.

Joaquin Niemann is set to make his Players Championship debut this week. The youngster from Chile logged his first PGA Tour victory at The Greenbrier during the fall season, but has slumped in 2020.

New York Mets outfielder Yoenis Cespedes (heel, ankle) has progressed to running to first base at full speed and hitting regularly in simulated games.

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~170s CURRENT ADP: ~192 overall ANALYSIS: Kevin Newman didn't begin the 2019 season on most fantasy owners' radar, but by the year's end, he had cemented himself as an excellent middle-infield option. The 26-year-old slashed an impressive .308/.353/.446 as a rookie, with 12 home runs, 16 stolen bases, and respectable run production in […]

Jaylen Brown Won't Suit Up on Tuesday

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (hamstring) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Indiana Pacers.
