Wilson Chandler is Questionable Versus Wizards

Brooklyn Nets forward Wilson Chandler (personal) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards.

Miami Marlins outfielder Lewis Brinson went 2-for-2 with a home run in Tuesday's Grapefruit League game against the Houston Astros.

Miami Marlins relief pitcher and likely closer Brandon Kintzler made his Marlins debut on Tuesday, pitching a perfect inning.

Joe Flacco Still Not Cleared

Denver Broncos head coach Vic Fangio said that quarterback Joe Flacco (neck) still has not been medically cleared.

He's […]

Hunter Henry A Candidate For Franchise Tag

Rickie Fowler A Former Honda Classic Champion

It's been a less-than-spectacular start to the year for Rickie Fowler, who has recorded a missed cut and a T37 in his last two starts.
