Carlos Martinez Throws Three Scoreless on Saturday

St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Carlos Martinez threw three good innings in a Grapefruit League start against the Washington Nationals on Saturday.

Sandy Alcantara Has Another Bad Start on Saturday

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Sandy Alcantara didn't have it on Saturday, struggling through just 1 2/3 innings in a Grapefruit League start against the Baltimore Orioles. Alcantara got just five outs, but allowed five runs on five hits and four walks in the process. Alcantara was the only All-Star for the Marlins last season, and […]

Franmil Reyes Off To Hot Start

Cleveland Indians designated hitter Franmil Reyes hit his second home run in Cactus League play in the second inning on Friday to give the Indians a 1-0 lead. He finished 1-for-2 with a walk and a stolen base. He dropped 18 pounds over the winter and appears to be dialed in early on in spring training. For […]

Freddy Peralta Sharp Saturday Against Cubs

Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Freddy Peralta tossed three innings, allowing no hits, a walk and three strikeouts against the Cubs on Saturday. Peralta has been focused on adding a slider to his repertoire in the offseason, and the Brewers recently signed him to a new five-year contract. He's gotten off to a hot start to begin spring training. […]

Orlando Arcia Hits Third Home Run Of Spring

Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Orlando Arcia has been on a tear at the plate thus far in Cactus League play. He’s gone 5-for-13 with a double, while also racking up three home runs and eight RBI after the first week of games. He's made adjustments to his swing, and it appears to be paying dividends. “That’s part of […]

LeBron James Will Return on Saturday

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (groin) will return to the starting five for Saturday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. He'll return to the lineup here after missing last game. Rajon Rondo will head back to the bench and see reduced minutes. Kyle Kuzma will see less minutes and reduced usage here. Fantasy owners and […]

Eric Gordon is Expected to Play on Saturday

Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon (knee) is expected to play in Saturday's game against the Boston Celtics. The Rockets have been cautious with Gordon lately, but it sounds like he's actually ready to play now. Ben McLemore, Austin Rivers, and Danuel House would lose playing time if Gordon returns here. House would be the best […]

Draymond Green Could Sit Against Suns

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He was added to the injury report on Saturday with left knee soreness. The Warriors have been cautious with injuries all season long, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him sit out here. Eric Paschall would […]

Victor Oladipo is Listed as Questionable for Saturday

Indiana Pacers guard Victor Oladipo (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He wasn't on the injury report earlier, but has now popped up with a left ankle sprain. Oladipo has been having trouble staying on the court this season, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him sit out […]

Andrew Wiggins is Available Against Suns

Golden State Warriors guard Andrew Wiggins (back) is available for Saturday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Both Jordan Poole (ankle) and Ky Bowman (ankle) are sidelined, so Wiggins should get plenty of run here. He should be the main ball handler going forward until Stephen Curry (hand) gets back on the court. Fantasy owners can […]

Caris LeVert is Available for Saturday

Brooklyn Nets guard Caris Levert (hand) is available for Saturday's game against the Miami Heat. He was listed as questionable for this one with a right hand issue, but it appears he feels good enough to play in this one. He should see plenty of run against the Heat, so DFS players should take a […]

Marcus Semien Collects Two Hits Saturday

Oakland Athletics shortstop Marcus Semien went 2-for-3 with two RBI in a Spring Training game against the Indians Saturday. Semien is coming off a career-year where he slashed .285/.369/.522 and finished third in AL MVP voting. He scored 123 runs last season and should score plenty again this year batting leadoff for a stacked Oakland […]

Steven Matz With Solid Spring Outing

New York Mets starting pitcher Steven Matz pitched two strong innings on Saturday against the Astros in Grapefruit League play. Matz struck out one and allowed just one hit over two innings pitched.

Jordan Montgomery Strikes Out Four Over Two Innings On Saturday

New York Yankees pitcher Jordan Montgomery threw two innings against the Red Sox on Saturday, allowing just one hit with four strikeouts.

Gleyber Torres Hits First Spring Training Home Run

New York Yankees shortstop Gleyber Torres launched his first spring training home run of 2020 with a three-run shot on Saturday. Torres followed up his strong rookie season with an impressive .278/.337/.535 slash line last year and should be an elite fantasy shortstop again in 2020. Torres improved his plate approach last season by holding his chase […]

Adam Ottavino Throws A Scoreless Inning In Spring Debut

New York Yankees reliever Adam Ottavino picked up the win against the Tigers on Saturday, tossing one inning with one walk and two strikeouts. Ottavino has been dominant over the past two seasons, with a 2.19 ERA and a 33.8% strikeout rate. Walks and stolen bases have been a problem for Ottavino, though. Over the past two […]

NBA Weekly Streamers for Week 20 (Mar 2 - Mar 8)

Fantasy basketball season is in full swing. Most of us are either fighting for playoff berth/seeding, or are already in the playoffs and are in full win-now mode. These circumstances give streaming even more importance, as many players become expendable if they're not going to give us enough games next week. Their place can be […]

Aaron Judge Feels Discomfort While Hitting On Friday

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (shoulder) reportedly felt discomfort near his pec when hitting on Friday. Judge underwent a number of tests that all came back negative, but the outfielder’s nagging shoulder discomfort explains why he still hasn’t hit outside. The Yankees continue to be optimistic that Judge will be ready for Opening Day, […]

Boston Bruins goaltender Tuukka Rask recorded his fourth shutout of the season on Saturday, finishing a 4-0 win over the Islanders with 25 saves.

Lauri Markkanen is Almost Ready to Return

Chicago Bulls forward Lauri Markkanen (pelvis) is close to being cleared to return to contact work, according to head coach Jim Boylen. He is currently five weeks into a four-to-six week timetable, so hopefully he'll get back on the court soon. Markkanen could be worth stashing in leagues with an open IR spot, but the […]

Dennis Smith Jr. is Placed in Concussion Protocol

New York Knicks guard Dennis Smith Jr. (head) has been placed into concussion protocol and will miss at least two games. He has already been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Chicago Bulls, but he's going to miss Monday's game as well. Elfrid Payton and Frank Ntilikina will split up the extra playing time […]

Tristan Thompson is Ruled Out for Saturday's Contest

Cleveland Cavaliers center Tristan Thompson (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He has started each of the last two games with Andre Drummond (calf) sidelined for those contests. Drummond is listed as probable here, so the Cavs will take the cautious approach and rest Thompson due to a left […]

Andre Drummond is Expected to Return Versus Pacers

Cleveland Cavaliers center Andre Drummond (calf) is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He has missed each of the last two games due to a left calf strain. It appears Drummond is feeling well enough to get back into the starting five here. Tristan Thompson (knee) has been ruled out, so […]

Zack Wheeler Gives Up Two Runs In Spring Debut

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Zack Wheeler allowed two runs in two innings pitched in his first Spring Training start. After a clean first inning, Wheeler gave up a hit to Randal Grichuk before serving up a two-run homer to Danny Jansen. Wheeler signed a five-year contract with Philadelphia this offseason, and is expected to be […]

Caris LeVert is Questionable on Saturday

Brooklyn Nets guard Caris Levert (hand) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Miami Heat. He is dealing with a right hand contusion, but he's been on fire lately, so losing him would really hurt the Nets rotation. Garrett Temple may slide into the starting five, but he wouldn't be worth using in […]

Antonio Senzatela Sharp In Spring Stint

Colorado Rockies pitcher Antonio Senzatela looked good on Friday night as he struck out four in three innings of work. Most impressive were his displays with his newly developed curveball, a pitch he's been trying to improve for years. After bursting onto the scene in 2017 with some promising numbers, the young righty has struggled […]
