Darius Miller Unsure About Playing During Restart

New Orleans Pelicans forward Darius Miller (Achilles) is unsure if he'll be ready to play when the NBA resumes play. Miller has not played this season after having surgery last August. He has been unable to get into 5-on-5 action yet, so the team will have to wait before they evaluate him. It's unlikely that […]

Jusuf Nurkic Expected To See Minutes At Power Forward

Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic is expected to see playing time at power forward when the season resumes. He hasn't played since March of 2019, but the Blazers reportedly won't have Nurkic on a minutes limit.

Tyler Herro Says Ankle Is Fully Healed

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro says that the league shutdown allowed his ankle to 100 percent heal. He returned prior to the hiatus, but his ankle still bothered him at times.

Kent Bazemore Hopeful To Remain With Kings

Tommy Pham Tests Positive For COVID-19

San Diego Padres general manager A.J. Preller said that outfielder Tommy Pham tested positive for COVID-19, but he is asymptomatic. It means that Pham will get a late start to summer camp.

Victor Oladipo Decides To Sit Out Rest Of NBA Season

Indiana Pacers guard Victor Oladipo has decided to opt out of the upcoming NBA restart in Orlando.

DJ Stewart A Full-Go For Camp

Baltimore Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said that outfielder DJ Stewart (ankle), who had right ankle surgery last fall, is "full-go" for summer camp.

Jon Duplantier Behind In Camp

Arizona Diamondbacks general manager Mike Hazen said that starting pitcher Jon Duplantier (elbow), who was shut down in April with right-elbow soreness, is a bit behind the other pitchers at the start of summer camp this weekend.

Joe Gibbs Racing's Erik Jones will start 23rd in Sunday's Big Machine 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Joe Musgrove Feeling Better

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Joe Musgrove (shoulder) threw a five-inning simulated game on Friday and said that he feels better now than he did in March. Musgrove was battling shoulder fatigue before spring training was shut down earlier this year, and his results weren't pretty. The 27-year-old right-hander showed an uptick in strikeouts towards the […]

Luis Robert Expected To Be Starting Center Fielder

Coming off a 32-homer, 36-steal, 1.001-OPS season in the minors, Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert is expected to open the year as the team's starting center fielder in his rookie season. Robert is the team's top prospect and comes in at No. 3 overall, per MLB Pipeline. There's massive power/speed potential with the 22-year-old, […]

Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Wander Franco, MLB's top prospect, could find his way onto the big league roster later this year despite being just 19 years old and not playing at a level beyond High-A. Franco is the second prospect ever to receive an 80-grade hit tool (the other being Vladimir Guerrero Jr.) and has […]

Alec Bohm, Spencer Howard Could Be Options For Phillies

If Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Jay Bruce, who has a .219/.287/.445 slash line since 2018, struggles, the Phillies could turn to third baseman Alec Bohm at designated hitter. Baseball's No. 30 prospect could also see playing time if center fielder Adam Haseley doesn't hit enough, which would cause the Phillies to use either Scott Kingery or […]

Chase Elliott Has Struggled At Indy

Hendrick Motorsports driver Chase Elliott will roll off from the 10th position in Sunday's Big Machine 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Earlier in the year, Elliott was on fire, leading plenty of laps in multiple races. Elliott has since cooled a bit coming into Indy, a track where he has historically struggled at in his […]

Griffin Canning Facing Hitters

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Griffin Canning (elbow) is facing live hitters on Friday at the first day of the team's summer camp workouts.

Cade Cavalli Joining 60-Man Roster

Washington Nationals first-rounder Cade Cavalli will join the team's 60-man summer camp roster. Cavalli was the 22nd overall pick in last month's draft. The 6-foot-4, 226-pounder produces easy velocity (92-96 mph) and tops out at 98 mph with minimal effort. The right-hander out of Oklahoma also gets hitters off-balance with a low-80s curveball and a […]

Max Scherzer Throws 65 Pitches On Friday

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Max Scherzer threw 65 pitches to live hitters on the first day of summer camp on Friday. Scherzer was battling through an injury to his right side back in March, but it looks as though he's past that and ready for the start of the regular season later this month. The […]

Welington Castillo Opts Out Of 2020 Season

Washington Nationals manager Dave Martinez said that catcher Welington Castillo has opted out of playing in 2020 amid the coronavirus pandemic. Castillo will join teammates Ryan Zimmerman and Joe Ross in opting out this year. The 33-year-old was on a minor league deal that he signed in January and was unlikely to make much, if […]

Jesperi Kotkaniemi Feeling Healthy After Extended Break

Montreal Canadiens center Jesperi Kotkaniemi (spleen) will be a full participant in the team's upcoming training camp ahead of their play-in series against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Kotkaniemi suffered the injury while playing in the AHL back in March. It has been a tough season for the former third overall pick, but perhaps he can carve […]

Brett Martin Tests Positive For COVID-19

Texas Rangers relief pitcher Brett Martin has tested positive for COVID-19 and has some "mild" symptoms. Martin is a diabetic, so it is a delicate situation, and he's at risk for complications. Heading into the season, Martin was expected to serve in a setup role alongside Rafael Montero and Joely Rodriguez ahead of closer Jose […]

Kyle Busch Looking To Get Back On Track At Indy

Joe Gibbs Racing's Kyle Busch will start from the seventh position in Sunday's Big Machine 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. 2020 has been an off year for Busch and the No. 18 team, with no wins through the first 15 races of the season. Busch just hasn't been a consistent threat to win as he […]

Blue Jays Reach An Agreement With Austin Martin

The Toronto Blue Jays have reached an agreement with their first-round shortstop Austin Martin, pending a physical. The Jays selected the 21-year-old out of Vanderbilt with the fifth overall pick in this year’s draft despite having a surplus of infield talent already. He will likely shift to third base at the major league level with […]

Yordan Alvarez Not In Houston

Houston Astros outfielder/designated hitter Yordan Alvarez is currently not in Houston as camps across the league begin to open. When asked about the situation, manager Dusty Baker replied that the reigning Rookie of the Year is not present due to "league mandates." Nothing has been confirmed, but it is fair to consider that his absence […]
