San Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado cracked a two-run homer Monday against the Kansas City Royals in his first spring training at-bat. He finished the day 1-for-3.

Davis Bertans is Questionable for Monday

Washington Wizards forward Davis Bertans (knee) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. It appears to be right knee soreness, so the Wizards might decide to take the cautious approach and have Bertans sit out.

Thomas Bryant is Resting on Monday

Washington Wizards center Thomas Bryant (rest) will sit out of Monday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks.

Wagner is the better fantasy […]

Frank Ntilikina is Ruled Out for Monday

New York Knicks guard Frank Ntilikina (groin) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Houston Rockets.

Jake Layman is Probable for Monday

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Jake Layman (toe) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Layman hasn't been on the court since November due to a left toe issue.

Indiana Pacers guard Victor Oladipo (back) is currently listed as day-to-day after getting in a limited practice session on Monday.

Lucas Giolito To Throw Another Bullpen Tuesday

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Lucas Giolito (chest) has another bullpen session scheduled for Tuesday, and he seems to be coming along fine after dealing with a strained chest muscle early in camp.

Chicago White Sox manager Rick Renteria estimates that catcher Yasmani Grandal (calf) will miss another seven to 10 spring training games in the Cactus League.
