Mitchell Robinson is Available for Wednesday

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (illness) is available to play in Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. There's a bug going around in the locker room with multiple players feeling under the weather.

Kevon Looney Won't Play Against Phoenix

Golden State Warriors center Kevon Looney (hip) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He fell and injured his left hip during Monday's game, so the Warriors will elect to have him sit out here. Marquese Chriss and Eric Paschall will be asked to play bigger roles in Wednesday's contest. Both […]

Martin Prado Announces Retirement

Free-agent third baseman Martin Prado announced his retirement on Wednesday. Prado finished the 2019 season with the Marlins, hitting .233/.265/.294 with two home runs and only 15 RBI in 104 games. The 36-year-old spent 14 years in the majors and was an All-Star back in 2010 with the Braves. He started his career with Atlanta […]

Ben Zobrist Has No Plans To Play

Free-agent infielder/outfielder Ben Zobrist hasn't announced his retirement yet, but he is currently at home and has no plans to play. The Cubs just signed Jason Kipnis to help at second base on Tuesday, so it's unlikely Zobrist is even in Chicago's plans if they were considering bringing him back. If this is the end […]

Mario Hezonja Won't Suit Up Against Grizzlies

Portland Trail Blazers forward Mario Hezonja (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. It's the second game of a back-to-back set, so the Blazers will elect to let Hezonja rest up with the All-Star break approaching. Trevor Ariza, Caleb Swanigan, and Gary Trent Jr. should see more playing time with […]

No Plan To Limit Jesus Luzardo, A.J. Puk

Oakland Athletics manager Bob Melvin said there's no plan for a specific innings limit for starting pitchers Jesus Luzardo and A.J. Puk. Both Luzardo and Puk are top left-handed pitching prospects and have extremely high fantasy ceilings in the long term, but the A's are expected to limit their innings in 2020 eventually. Per MLB […]

Nassir Little Ruled Out on Wednesday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Nassir Little (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Trevor Ariza, Gary Trent Jr., and Anfernee Simons will see increased playing time with Little sidelined.

The Phoenix Suns have signed forward Jonah Bolden to a 10-day contract. Head coach Monty Williams and Bolden had experience together in Philadelphia last season.

Gio Gonzalez Slowed With Shoulder Discomfort

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Gio Gonzalez (shoulder) is dealing with discomfort in his shoulder and has been slowed down by the team in camp. Gonzalez's injury is minor and he should be ready for Opening Day, but he'll be slowed in early Cactus League action as a precaution. The 34-year-old left-hander was solid for […]

The Cincinnati Reds re-signed infielder/outfielder Derek Dietrich to a minor league deal with an invitation to major league spring training on Wednesday.

Mike Leake Dealing With Wrist Soreness

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Mike Leake (wrist) has left wrist soreness and is undergoing a precautionary MRI exam on Wednesday. It's to his non-pitching arm, so Leake should be fine as long as it's not a serious injury. The veteran 32-year-old had a 4.29 ERA, 1.29 WHIP, 127 strikeouts and 27 walks in 32 starts […]

Madison Bumgarner Expected To Start On Opening Day

Arizona Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo all but said that starting pitcher Madison Bumgarner will start on Opening Day. Bumgarner will make his debut with the D-Backs against the Braves at home on March 26.

The Seattle Mariners agreed to a one-year, $2 million deal with starting pitcher Taijuan Walker on Wednesday, according to sources. Walker can earn up to $3 million in incentives.

Darwinzon Hernandez Could Be A Starter

Boston Red Sox manager Ron Roenicke said that pitcher Darwinzon Hernandez is a relief pitcher right now, but the coaching staff discussed the idea of him starting again at some point. The 23-year-old left-hander made his MLB debut in 2019 by making one start and 28 relief appearances. He posted a 4.45 ERA and 1.75 […]

Red Sox View Brandon Workman As Their Closer

Boston Red Sox manager Ron Roenicke believes that relief pitcher Brandon Workman will be the team's closer entering the regular season, barring something unforeseen. “I think with what he did last year, he deserves that shot to be the closer,” Roenicke said. Workman became Boston's closer late in the year in 2019, posting a stellar […]

Chris Sale Expected To Report On Friday

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Chris Sale (illness) had a flu bug that turned into pneumonia, but he's expected to report to camp on Friday. It's not the start that Sale wanted, but the good news is his left arm is healthy following a year filled with injury and poor performance in 2019. Despite his […]

Cole Hamels Won't Be Ready For Opening Day

Updating a previous report, Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Cole Hamels (shoulder) won't have time to build up for Opening Day, according to general manager Alex Anthopoulos.
