Seahawks Interested In Alex Collins

The Seattle Seahawks are interested in free-agent running back Alex Collins, according to sources. Collins played for the Seahawks in his rookie season in 2016 and worked out for them late last season when they were in need of healthy bodies. He's a street free agent, so he can sign before March 18. Collins sat […]

Myles Turner Gets Four Blocks

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner put up a fine performance in the 108-102 win over the Bulls on Friday, accumulating 15 points, eight rebounds, one assist, and four blocks in 35 minutes. The 23-year-old has been spectacular the past six games, getting two double-doubles, scoring in double digits four times, and blocking an astounding 24 […]

Marcus Johnson Will Hit Open Market

The Indianapolis Colts won't tender impending restricted free-agent wide receiver Marcus Johnson, meaning he'll hit the open market. Johnson made six starts last season and caught three passes for 105 yards and a touchdown in a game against the Buccaneers, so he should have interest on the open market. In all, the 25-year-old caught 17 […]

Saints To Use First-Round Tender On Taysom Hill

The New Orleans Saints are planning to place a first-round tender on impending restricted free-agent quarterback Taysom Hill, according to a source. The Saints will have a chance to match an offer sheet that he could receive from another team. If he departs, they'd receive a first-round pick. It's looking increasingly likely that Hill will […]

Mitch Haniger's Rehab Moving Slowly

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger's (back) rehab process continues to move along slowly, as he's limited to walking for about another week before he can move to the next phase of his rehab. Haniger had microdiscectomy three weeks ago for a herniated disc, and he also had surgery in February to fix a torn adductor […]

Steven Adams Seals Double-Double

Oklahoma City Thunder center Steven Adams finished Friday's 126-103 win over the Knicks with 12 points, 11 rebounds, one assist, and two blocks in 24 minutes of play. The big man is nearly averaging a double-double this season with 11 points and 9.4 rebounds per game. Unfortunately, he hasn't been a major factor with guys […]

Tom Murphy, Austin Nola To Share Time Behind Plate

Seattle Mariners catcher Tom Murphy should see more of the playing time behind the plate this year, but manager Scott Servais said that backup Austin Nola will also see plenty of time. Nola mostly played first base in 2019, but he'll strictly work at catcher in 2020. "Everybody says, 'Oh, Murphy is the starting catcher.’ […]

Yusei Kikuchi In A Better Place This Year

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Yusei Kikuchi, who struggled in his rookie season in 2019, tossed three scoreless innings in his spring start on Thursday and had five strikeouts. Kikuchi got his fastball up to 96 mph in the outing. "Compared to last year, I’m already in such a better spot," Kikuchi said through interpreter Kevin […]

Hamidou Diallo Ties Season-High Point Total On Friday

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Hamidou Diallo contributed 12 points, four rebounds, and one block in 26 minutes of play during the 126-103 win over the Knicks on Friday.

Mitch Moreland To DH Saturday

Boston Red Sox first baseman Mitch Moreland (hamstring) is expected to serve as the designated hitter in the Grapefruit League game on Saturday. Moreland should be just fine for Opening Day. The left-handed hitter should start most days at first base against right-handers, and he can give fantasy owners some pop in deep mixed and […]

Elfrid Payton Paces Team With 18 Points

New York Knicks guard Elfrid Payton supplied 18 points, nine rebounds, and eight assists in 30 minutes during the 126-103 loss to the Thunder on Friday.

Griffin Canning Shut Down For A Month

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Griffin Canning (elbow) will be shut down for around a month as he recovers from soreness in his right elbow. Canning will receive an injection of biological substances in an effort to heal his elbow inflammation. As a result, he'll open the regular season on the injured list. Patrick Sandoval […]

Bobby Portis Provides 14 Points Off Bench

New York Knicks forward Bobby Portis came off the bench in Friday's 126-103 loss to the Thunder and chipped in 14 points, seven rebounds, one block, and one steal in 27 minutes. The former Bull has put together a nice little stretch of scoring in double digits in seven of the last eight games. Despite […]

Mitchell Robinson Has Three Blocks On Friday

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson compiled 11 points, four rebounds, and three blocks in 22 minutes during the 126-103 loss to the Thunder on Friday.

Eugenio Suarez Taking Swings

Cincinnati Reds third baseman Eugenio Suarez (shoulder) took some swings in the batting cage on Friday. The Reds have not yet set a date for when he will be available to play in Cactus League games but they are still hopeful that the star third baseman will be ready for Opening Day. Suarez had offseason […]

Victor Oladipo Will Play Against Chicago

Indiana Pacers guard Victor Oladipo (knee) will play Friday against the Chicago Bulls. Oladipo missed the last two games with a sore knee, but will return to the court on Friday. The majority of Indiana's wings are banged up, so Oladipo should have a good shot at high usage. He has shot the ball poorly […]

Malcolm Brogdon, T.J. Warren And Doug McDermott Out Friday

The Indiana Pacers will be short-handed Friday against the Chicago Bulls with Malcolm Brogdon (hip), T.J. Warren (leg) and Doug McDermott (toe) all out with their various injuries. Head coach Nate McMillan addressed the media and made it seem like all three were close to playing before ultimately being ruled out. Aaron Holiday and Justin […]

Luka Doncic Will Play Through Illness And Thumb Injury

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (illness) will play Friday against the Memphis Grizzlies. Doncic missed Thursday's practice with an illness and is playing through some thumb pain which he suffered a couple weeks ago. However, neither of the ailments will force Doncic to sit on Friday. Both Tim Hardaway Jr. (illness) and Dorian Finney-Smith (hip) […]

Matt Olson Homers In Spring Start

Oakland Athletics first baseman Matt Olson went 1-for-2 with a two-run homer in a Spring Training game vs the Reds Friday. Olson also walked and scored in the game. Olson hit 36 homers last season, but there is room for more when looking at his batted ball data. The big first baseman made hard contact […]

Mitchell Robinson Will Play On Friday Against OKC

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (hamstring) will play Friday against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Robinson was question with a hamstring injury, but it is encouraging he will be able to play through it. Hamstrings can be tricky though, so hopefully Robinson is able to get through this game unscathed. With Robinson back, Bobby Portis […]

Trae Young Will Not Suit Up Friday

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young (illness) will not play Friday against the Washington Wizards. Young is dealing with an illness and coach Lloyd Pierce stated Young just "needed more rest". This was a juicy match up, but the best decision is for Young to recover. Jeff Teague will get the start here against a […]

Trent Grisham (OF, SD) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target ~260s CURRENT ADP: ~290 overall ANALYSIS: There is a lot of upside for both power and speed here that may be getting overlooked a bit.

Jon Berti (SS/3B/OF, MIA) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target ~240s CURRENT ADP: ~260 overall ANALYSIS: Until last season, Jon Berti seemed destined to be marked as a career minor leaguer, as he had never played above Triple-A in his first eight seasons. But those types of players can easily find their way into the mix in Miami, where Berti earned 256 […]

Jake Arrieta Wild In Spring Start

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Jake Arrieta pitched four scoreless innings in a Spring Training start against the Tigers Friday. Arrieta didn't allow a hit, but walked four and threw a wild pitch. The veteran righty didn't strike out a batter, which is a continuing trend for Arrieta. His strikeout rate has dropped five straight seasons, […]

Washington Wizards guard Ish Smith (hamstring) is expected to miss at least one week of action, according to head coach Scott Brooks. He'll miss his second game in a row on Friday due to a left hamstring issue. Shabazz Napier and Jerome Robinson will see increased playing time until Smith returns. Both players could be […]
