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 […]

Fernando Tatis Jr. Still Out Sick

San Diego Padres shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. (flu) missed his third straight day while dealing with the flu on Tuesday. Tatis' fever spiked on Tuesday, but he was feeling better later in the day. The shortstop phenom should be just fine in time for Opening Day. As long as the 21-year-old can stay healthy, something […]

Padres Passing On Kris Bryant

The Chicago Cubs and San Diego Padres recently had trade discussions involving third baseman Kris Bryant, with the Cubs primarily asking for starting pitcher Dinelson Lamet and catching prospect Luis Campusano in return, but the Padres declined. Bryant can play the outfield as well, but he's primarily a third baseman, and the Padres already have […]

Triston McKenzie Could Make Spring Debut Soon

Cleveland Indians pitching prospect Triston McKenzie (back, pectoral), who missed the entire 2019 season with injuries, could see action in a spring training game soon, but the Indians are still trying to determine what is best for the youngster. McKenzie hasn't pitched in a game since August of 2018, but he's thrown in live batting […]

Mike Clevinger Making Promising Progress

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Mike Clevinger's (knee) extended his flat-ground throwing sessions to 150 feet on Tuesday and moved to the mound to start doing simulations on the mound to test his surgically repaired knee. Clevinger said "it was a really, really, really promising day of catch." He's been pleased to be pain-free so far, […]

Mohamed Sanu Has Successful Surgery

New England Patriots wide receiver Mohamed Sanu (ankle) had successful ankle surgery on Tuesday. Sanu was traded from the Falcons to the Patriots midway through last season and had 10 catches for 81 yards and a touchdown in his second game in New England. After suffering his injury in Week 11, he limped to the […]

Nikola Jokic Puts Together Full Line Against Warriors

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic compiled a full stat line in a bad loss to the Golden State Warriors. Jokic scored 16 points with 13 rebounds, seven assists, two blocks, and a steal in 32 minutes. The Serbian big man nearly notched his second straight triple-double and has been on a tear lately. Jokic has […]

Anthony Davis Goes Off Against The 76ers

Los Angeles Lakers power forward/center Anthony Davis needed just 19 shots to register 37 points and he also filled up the categories in the 13-point win over the 76ers. Davis put up 13 rebounds, two assists, four steals, two blocks, and four triples on Tuesday after returning from a one-game absence due to a sore […]

LeBron James Scores Efficient 22 Points

Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward LeBron James stuffed the stat sheet on Tuesday and also scored an efficient 22 points in the 120-107 win over the 76ers. James added 14 assists with seven rebounds while also chipping in two blocks with two makes from three on 9-for-15 shooting from the floor overall. James continues to roll […]
