Jed Lowrie Still With No Timeline To Appear In Games

New York Mets infielder Jed Lowrie (leg) still has no timeline to appear in Grapefruit League games due to lingering left leg injuries. Although he is fully participating in drills, he is sporting a large brace on his left leg that is preventing him from getting into games. Lowrie missed nearly all of last season […]

Matt Adams To Resume Baseball Activities

New York Mets first baseman Matt Adams has passed all of his additional cardiac testing. Adams will return to the Mets spring training facility on Thursday and resume full baseball activities on Friday.

Damian Lillard is Expected to Return on Wednesday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard (groin) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. Lillard has been targeting his date all week, so it sounds like he'll actually be back in action here. C.J. McCollum's usage will take a hit with Lillard back in the mix. Gary Trent Jr. will head […]

Bruce Brown Jr. (knee) is doubtful to play, while Derrick Rose (ankle) has already been ruled out for Wednesday. The Pistons may take the cautious approach and rest Knight here.

Bruce Brown Jr. is Doubtful for Wednesday

Detroit Pistons forward Bruce Brown Jr. (knee) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Derrick Rose (ankle) has already been ruled out, while Brandon Knight (knee) is listed as questionable. Langston Galloway could be asked to play significant minutes with Detroit banged up.

Dallas Mavericks guard Seth Curry (back) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He sat out of Monday's game versus the Chicago Bulls due to back tightness.

Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon (knee) is expected to play in Wednesday's game against the Miami Heat, according to head coach Steve Clifford. He was unable to play in Monday's game due to right knee inflammation. Khem Birch and Wesley Iwundu would see more minutes if Gordon is ruled out. Neither player is worth a […]

Garrett Temple Won't Play Versus Grizzlies

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Garrett Temple (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. He was able to play through a shoulder issue on Tuesday, but apparently tweaked his ankle in the process. Timothe Luwawu could see more minutes without Temple available.

Lauri Markkanen Will Return on Wednesday

Chicago Bulls forward Lauri Markkanen (pelvis) will return to the starting five for Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He missed over a month of action due to a pelvis contusion, so fantasy owners should expect Markkanen to be limited here. He should see around 18-20 minutes on Wednesday as the Bulls ease him back […]

Wendell Carter Jr. Will See More Minutes on Wednesday

Chicago Bulls center Wendell Carter Jr. will see increased playing time for Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He'll be limited to 22-24 minutes for this game as the Bulls continue to ease Carter back into action. He isn't worth owning in most standard formats while he's limited, but should have decent value once he's […]

Jaguars Not Shopping Nick Foles

The Jacksonville Jaguars are not shopping quarterback Nick Foles in a trade, according to sources familiar with their thinking, but teams that might have a need under center have been contacting the Jags. If a team offers the right compensation, there's a strong chance that Foles could be traded in the coming weeks. Foles was […]

Otto Porter Will Be Limited on Wednesday

Chicago Bulls forward Otto Porter will be limited during Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Porter returned for the first time in four months versus the Dallas Mavericks on Monday. He scored 18 points, one rebound, and three assists during his 17 minutes with the second unit. He'll be limited to 20-22 minutes during Wednesday's […]

Jayson Tatum is Expected to Play Versus Cavs

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (illness) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He didn't travel with the team, but it sounds like Tatum will be ready for Wednesday's contest. Jaylen Brown (hamstring), Kemba Walker (rest), and Gordon Hayward (knee) have all been ruled out. Tatum and Marcus Smart will see […]

Deandre Ayton is Unlikely to Play on Friday

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (ankle) is unlikely to suit up for Friday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He rolled his left ankle on Tuesday and received an MRI on his sprained ankle on Wednesday. The MRI results haven't been announced yet, but Ayton could be looking at a multiple game absence. Aron Baynes […]

Yasmani Grandal Returns

Chicago White Sox catcher Yasmani Grandal (calf) is expected to catch a few innings on Friday versus the Cubs. Grandal had been sidelined with a strained left calf and caught three innings in a “B” game and had two plate appearances on Wednesday versus the Reds. Grandal should be one of the first catchers off […]

Rams Optimistic They'll Re-Sign Andrew Whitworth

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay and general manager Les Snead are optimistic that the team will re-sign left tackle Andrew Whitworth, who had a base salary of $10.3 million in 2019. The 38-year-old will be entering his 15th season this year, but he's the team's best option at the position with no obvious […]

Dante Fowler, Cory Littleton Candidates For Franchise Tag

Los Angeles Rams linebackers Dante Fowler and Cory Littleton are both candidates to receive the franchise tag, and they are both expected to earn significant multi-year offers from other teams if they reach free agency. Fowler had a career-high 11.5 sacks in 2019, while Littleton has led the team in tackles the last two seasons […]

Austin Wynns Scratched From Lineup Wednesday

Yandy Diaz (1B/3B, TB) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~260 CURRENT ADP: ~297 overall ANALYSIS: The Tampa Bay Rays took a chance when they traded for Yandy Diaz last year after he spent two years developing in Cleveland with partial playing time. In 2019, Diaz slashed .267/.340/.476 with 14 HR, 53 R, 38 RBI, and a 10.1% walk rate, despite missing 83 […]

Jose Iglesias Has Quad Cramp, Hopeful To Play Thursday

Baltimore Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said Wednesday that shortstop Jose Iglesias is dealing with a quad cramp, per MLB.com's Joe Trezza. It is hopeful that Iglesias will return to the lineup on Thursday, so the cramp does not sound severe. The 30-year-old posted a .288/.318/.407 slash line with 11 home runs, 59 RBI, and six […]

Steelers Plan To Pick Up Vance McDonald's Option

The Pittsburgh Steelers are expected to pick up tight end Vance McDonald's $5.5 million option for the 2020 season, according to sources. McDonald would come at a salary cap hit of $7.127 million.

Kemba Walker Will Rest on Wednesday

Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker (rest) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Gordon Hayward is Ruled Out Wednesday

Boston Celtics forward Gordon Hayward (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. It's the second game of a back-to-back set, so the team has elected to take the cautious approach and rest Hayward. Semi Ojeleye and Grant Williams could see significant minutes in the rotation. However, Marcus Smart and Jayson […]

Jaylen Brown Won't Play Against Cavs on Wednesday

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (hamstring) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Brown tweaked his right hamstring during Tuesday's game, so it's not shocking to see him sitting out here. There's a good chance that Brown misses more than one game from this issue. Kemba Walker (rest) and Gordon Hayward […]
