Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander
Corbin Burnes (elbow) threw a 20-pitch bullpen session on Tuesday, according to manager Torey Lovullo. Burnes is slowly mixing in all of his pitches in two bullpens per week as he continues to recover from Tommy John surgery on his right elbow. The four-time All-Star only made 11 starts in his first year in Arizona in 2025 before being shut down with elbow problems. Burnes isn't expected to make his return in 2026 until sometime in July, but the 31-year-old veteran is a worthy fantasy stash because of the consistency he has displayed in his career as one of the top starters in the game. He was an All-Star for four straight seasons from 2021 to 2024, making at least 28 starts in that span before going down due to injury last year. Before being shut down in 2025, he was looking good again, posting a 2.66 ERA and 1.17 WHIP with 63 strikeouts and 26 walks in 64 1/3 innings. Burnes is rostered in 46% of Yahoo leagues while being on the IL.

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center
Olivier-Maxence Prosper (wrist) is not listed on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Knicks after missing one contest. The 23-year-old has been productive recently, averaging 15.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, 1.8 threes and 1.6 steals in 24.4 minutes over his last five games, giving him some late-season appeal in deeper formats. With
Taylor Hendricks (finger) doubtful, Prosper could handle significant frontcourt minutes again. His return should help steady Memphis' frontcourt rotation alongside G.G. Jackson and
Cedric Coward, but his fantasy value will still depend on whether he continues to see consistent minutes.

Memphis Grizzlies guard
Ty Jerome (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against New York, marking his fifth straight absence due to a left ankle sprain. With Jerome sidelined,
Javon Small should continue seeing starting point guard duties, while
Cam Spencer and
Walter Clayton Jr. remain involved in the rotation. Spencer finished with 16 points, four three-pointers, and five assists in 19 minutes last game, giving him some deep league and DFS appeal. Small also offers assist and steal upside, while Clayton provides secondary playmaking. Jerome can be dropped in most redraft formats.

Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander
Merrill Kelly (back), who opened the year on the 15-day injured list with left intercostal nerve irritation, threw a bullpen session on Tuesday and will make a minor-league rehab start with Triple-A Reno on Friday, according to manager Torey Lovullo. The 37-year-old veteran might end up only missing a couple of turns through the rotation in the big leagues to open the 2026 campaign. He'll make another rehab start on April 8, but after that, Kelly could rejoin Arizona's starting rotation to give fantasy managers in deeper leagues another option for starting pitching depth. Kelly ended up making three spring training appearances before his back acted up, allowing nine earned runs on 15 hits (two homers) while walking two and striking out two in 6 1/3 innings. At his age, Kelly's below-average 22% career strikeout rate leaves very little upside, especially in a hitter-friendly home park, but he has won double-digit games in three of the past four seasons. He's rostered in 64% of Yahoo leagues despite his early-season injury.

March 31, 2026
Detroit Pistons guard
Caris LeVert (knee) is available for Tuesday's game against Toronto after being listed as questionable. The veteran wing logged 10 points, four rebounds, two assists, and one block in 26 minutes off the bench Monday and has averaged 7.0 points, 3.4 assists, and 3.2 rebounds in 19.8 minutes over his last five games. LeVert's reserve role caps his fantasy ceiling, making him more of a deep-league option for modest across-the-board production. His availability could cut slightly into
Kevin Huerter's and
Marcus Sasser's minutes in the second unit.
--Brian DailisanSource: NBA Injury Report
March 31, 2026
New York Knicks guard
Miles McBride (pelvis) is available to play ahead of Tuesday's game against the Houston Rockets. It was uncertain if McBride would be able to play after he made an early exit from Sunday's game. He played 11 minutes on Sunday before leaving due to what is being called a pelvic injury. He has been cleared for Tuesday's game, but the Knicks will likely monitor him closely. McBride is recovering from sports hernia surgery, so they don't want to re-aggravate the issue. The 25-year-old guard won't be an ideal streaming option for Tuesday's slate.
--Andy WebbSource: NBA Injury Report
March 31, 2026
Toronto Raptors forward
Collin Murray-Boyles (back) is available for Tuesday's game against Detroit after missing time with lower back spasms. The rookie first-round pick has flashed defensive upside in limited run, posting 9.3 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 2.3 blocks across his last three appearances, though his role remains modest behind
Jakob Poeltl and
Sandro Mamukelashvili. Murray-Boyles could carve out deeper-league value for managers chasing blocks, but inconsistent minutes limit his reliability. His return may trim Mamukelashvili's workload slightly, while Poeltl should continue handling the bulk of the center minutes.
--Brian DailisanSource: NBA Injury Report
March 31, 2026
Detroit Pistons guard
Marcus Sasser (hip) is available to play ahead of Tuesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Sasser will shed the questionable tag and should play his normal role in the rotation on Tuesday. He finished with 12 points, four assists, and knocked down four three-pointers across 18 minutes of action on Monday. The second-year guard doesn't offer a ton of streaming value, but he's a decent source of three-pointers. He figures to continue playing minutes in the teens with the Pistons mostly healthy outside of
Cade Cunningham (lung) right now.
--Andy WebbSource: NBA Injury Report
March 31, 2026
Toronto Raptors guard/forward
Brandon Ingram (heel) will play Tuesday against Detroit after missing one game with right heel soreness. Ingram has averaged 14.8 points, 1.0 three-pointer, 5.2 rebounds, 2.6 assists, and 1.0 block in 31.6 minutes over his last five games and should resume his usual role as a secondary scoring option behind
RJ Barrett and
Scottie Barnes. His return likely sends
Ja'Kobe Walter back to the bench after a spot start. Ingram remains a steady category contributor, particularly for points and rebounds, and should already be rostered in most competitive formats.
--Brian DailisanSource: NBA Injury Report
March 31, 2026
Brooklyn Nets forward
Ziaire Williams will shift back into the starting five ahead of Tuesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Williams is back in the rotation after sitting out Sunday's game due to a coach's decision. Williams will move back into the starting five with
Terance Mann (Achilles) unavailable on Tuesday. Williams has scored 16 points or more in five straight games before getting benched on Sunday. When active, Williams is a decent streaming option and figures to play 20-plus minutes in the rotation without Mann available.
--Andy WebbSource: CJ Holmes
March 31, 2026
Detroit Pistons guard/forward
Duncan Robinson (hip) will play Tuesday against Toronto after sitting out one game with right hip soreness. The veteran sharpshooter has averaged 12.8 points, 3.4 three-pointers, 3.0 rebounds, and 2.4 assists in 28.0 minutes over his last five games, giving him value for managers targeting three-point production. His return likely pushes
Kevin Huerter back into a smaller role after Huerter scored 17 points as a spot starter Monday. Robinson remains a viable category specialist for threes, while
Tobias Harris and
Ausar Thompson should continue handling steady offensive roles.
--Brian DailisanSource: NBA Injury Report
March 31, 2026
Detroit Pistons center
Jalen Duren (knee) is available to play ahead of Tuesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Duren is back in action after sitting out Monday's game due to knee injury management reasons. With Duren back in the mix,
Paul Reed should see a reduced role in the rotation. Reed finished with 21 points and 10 rebounds across 34 minutes on Monday. His streaming value will take a hit with Duren back in the mix. Fantasy managers should double-check their lineups and make sure Duren is active ahead of tip-off.
--Andy WebbSource: NBA Injury Report
March 31, 2026
Detroit Pistons forward
Tobias Harris (hip) has been cleared to play Tuesday against Toronto after missing one game with left hip soreness. Harris has been steady lately, averaging 15.8 points, 1.6 three-pointers, 5.8 rebounds, 4.8 assists, and 1.2 blocks in 29.3 minutes over his last five, making him a reliable multi-category option.
Javonte Green, who scored 19 points in 30 minutes as a spot starter Monday, is expected to return to a bench role. Harris should continue to see consistent usage alongside
Jalen Duren and
Daniss Jenkins.
--Brian DailisanSource: NBA Injury Report
March 31, 2026
Dallas Mavericks forward
Marvin Bagley III (shoulder) is ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Bagley will miss both legs of the back-to-back set due to a left shoulder injury. His next chance to play will come on Friday, so fantasy managers should check back ahead of that game. In the meantime,
Dwight Powell figures to serve as the backup center to
Daniel Gafford on Tuesday. Powell finished with nine points and eight rebounds across 24 minutes on Monday. Fantasy managers looking for a cheap DFS option might want to consider Powell, given he'll have an expanded role.
--Andy WebbSource: NBA Injury Report
March 31, 2026
Milwaukee Bucks guard
Ryan Rollins (hip) is available for Tuesday's game against Dallas after missing one contest with left hip soreness. Rollins has been productive when given starter minutes, averaging 20.4 points, 4.4 rebounds, 5.4 assists, and 1.6 steals across his last five appearances, and he should continue seeing strong usage with
Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) and
Bobby Portis (wrist) still out.
Andre Jackson Jr. is expected to move back to the bench with Rollins returning. Rollins should continue to hold standard-league value and carries DFS appeal while Milwaukee remains short-handed.

Detroit Tigers infield prospect
Kevin McGonigle is starting at shortstop and will bat out of the two-hole on Tuesday against the Arizona Diamondbacks and right-hander
Brandon Pfaadt, while designated hitter
Kerry Carpenter is being dropped to the fifth spot in the batting order, according to MLB.com. Third baseman
Colt Keith will be the club's leadoff hitter at Chase Field. McGonigle, only 21 years old, hasn't looked like a rookie in his first four games, going 5-for-14 (.357) with two doubles, four RBI, three runs scored, three walks, and three strikeouts. He has quickly demanded a move up the batting order, which will only raise his fantasy ceiling in 2026. Tuesday will be McGonigle's first time in the two-hole in his career after batting sixth for Detroit to begin the season. Carpenter, meanwhile, has one hit in 16 at-bats with 10 strikeouts in his first four games. Perhaps Carpenter can get going on Tuesday, as he's 2-for-3 in his career versus Pfaadt. McGonigle is already rostered in 82% of Yahoo leagues.
--Keith HernandezSource: MLB.com
March 31, 2026
Dallas Mavericks guard
Klay Thompson (rest) is heading to the bench ahead of Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. It's not shocking to see the Mavs resting the veteran Thompson during the second leg of this back-to-back set. He finished with five points, two assists, and two rebounds across 22 minutes of action on Monday. The Mavs are very thin on forward depth, so
Khris Middleton will likely play a significant role. The veteran forward doesn't offer a ton of streaming appeal, but could be worth a look as a cheap DFS option.
--Andy WebbSource: NBA Injury Report
March 31, 2026
Milwaukee Bucks forward
Kyle Kuzma (Achilles) will play Tuesday against Dallas after missing four games with right Achilles tendinopathy. His recent production has been fairly modest, averaging 10.6 points, 1.2 three-pointers, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.6 assists in 24.0 minutes over his last five, which makes him more of a depth option than a clear must-start.
Pete Nance is likely headed back to a smaller bench role with Kuzma returning. With
Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) still out, Kuzma could see enough touches to stay fantasy relevant. Kuzma fits best as a deeper-league play with realistic expectations.

Chicago Cubs manager Craig Counsell said on Tuesday that outfielder
Seiya Suzuki (knee) will go on a minor-league rehab assignment when the team is on the road, according to Taylor McGregor of Watch Marquee Sports. The exact timing of the rehab assignment and the location are still to be determined. The Cubs start their six-game road trip in Cleveland against the Guardians on Friday, so Suzuki should start playing in minor-league games this weekend as he recovers from a strained PCL in his knee that he suffered while playing for Japan in the World Baseball Classic. With Suzuki on the 10-day injured list to begin the 2026 regular season,
Matt Shaw and
Michael Conforto have been platooning in right field for the Cubbies. The 31-year-old Suzuki is a must-stash in all fantasy baseball formats after hitting a career-high 32 home runs and driving in a career-high 103 runs in 151 regular-season games in 2025 in his fourth year in the big leagues.

Houston Astros shortstop
Jeremy Pena is back at the 6 and is leading off for the Astros on Tuesday against the visiting Boston Red Sox and right-hander
Brayan Bello, according to MLB.com. Pena will be playing in his third game of the young season on Tuesday as the Astros ease him in following a fractured finger that he recovered from this spring. The veteran shortstop has gone 2-for-10 (.200) at the plate with a run scored, a stolen base, and two strikeouts in his two games played.
Carlos Correa shifts back to third base, with
Isaac Paredes heading to the bench on Tuesday night. Fantasy managers will want to get Pena back into their starting lineups for the second game of the series at Daikin Park against the BoSox. Pena has one hit in his four career at-bats against Bello with a .900 OPS.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder/designated hitter
Christian Yelich will make the start in left field and will bat cleanup for the Brewers on Tuesday against the visiting Tampa Bay Rays and left-hander
Shane McClanahan, according to MLB.com. Catcher
Gary Sanchez will DH and bat fifth. Yelich, the team's primary DH, will play the field for the first time in 2026. The 34-year-old three-time All-Star and former MVP is completely healthy and is off to a strong start at the plate in his first four games of the season, going 6-for-14 (.429) with a home run, five RBI, four runs scored, a stolen base, one walk, and four strikeouts. Yelich is typically a must-start in fantasy lineups, but those setting DFS lineups on Tuesday might want to avoid him against a tough left-hander in McClanahan. Yelich is hitless in three career at-bats against the southpaw, while Sanche is hitting .125 in eight career at-bats.

New York Islanders right wing Simon Holmstrom (upper body) won't be available on Tuesday against the Buffalo Sabres and is considered day-to-day, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports. Holmstrom is one point shy of having his second straight 40-point season. He has tallied 19 goals and 20 assists across 73 outings. As a result of Holmstrom's absence, Mathew Barzal will move back to the first power-play unit. Anthony Duclair will take his spot in the lineup. Things haven't gone well for Duclair in 2025-26, and he isn't a good fantasy option. Barzal's move to the top power-play unit might also have only a limited impact on his fantasy value, as Buffalo is one of the NHL's best penalty-killing teams.

March 31, 2026
Los Angeles Lakers guard
Marcus Smart (ankle) is unavailable for Tuesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He will miss his fifth consecutive contest due to a right ankle contusion, with his next opportunity to return coming Thursday versus Oklahoma City. With Smart sidelined,
Luke Kennard and
Jake LaRavia should continue to see increased opportunities. Kennard could be viewed as a solid short-term streaming option after recording 19 points, two rebounds, one assist, and one steal in 23 minutes during Monday's 120-101 win over Washington.

March 31, 2026
Montreal Canadiens defenseman Alexandre Carrier (upper body) will exit the lineup for Tuesday's meeting with the Tampa Bay Lightning and is expected to miss 2-4 weeks. Montreal may be without him for the rest of the regular season after Carrier sustained an upper-body injury. Carrier has played well on both ends of the ice, amassing 22 points (seven goals, 15 assists), 56 SOG, and 155 blocks in 73 games. Adam Engstrom joined the big club on Monday and could be Carrier's replacement for Tuesday's game. The 22-year-old Swedish native has made 11 appearances in the NHL and is still looking for his first points.

Any event in the Lone Star State seems to have Jordan Spieth somewhere in the historical record. TPC San Antonio is certainly one of those places and events. Winning this event in 2021, the 32-year-old has been a factor here in each phase of his turbulent journey. Most recently, finishing T12 last season. Though more impressive is the fact that he's only missed one cut in nine appearances. It's a bit hard to tell the ceiling he has when the kinks from his surgery in late 2024 still seem to be causing some inconsistencies. The largest concern is off the tee, as he ranks 113th in average strokes gained (-0.168) this season. Spieth should be a decent DFS play coming off three top 15s in his last four starts, but the ceiling for what his expectation should be is a bit muted.

Chicago White Sox infielder
Munetaka Murakami is making the start at first base and will bat second again on Tuesday for a matchup against the hosting Miami Marlins and right-hander
Janson Junk, according to MLB.com. In his first year in the U.S., Murakami is off to a strong start for the Pale Hose, going 4-for-14 (.286) with three solo home runs, five runs scored, four walks, and five strikeouts in his first four games. If he continues to hit this well and display solid plate discipline, the 26-year-old left-handed hitter could hit near the top of Chicago's lineup all year long. We knew that Murakami had plenty of power -- he hit 246 home runs in eight seasons in Japan -- but we just didn't know how quickly he might adapt to major-league pitching. The early returns are very positive, and he'll have a plus matchup on Tuesday at LoanDepot Park.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder
Addison Barger is on the bench again for Tuesday's game against the visiting Colorado Rockies at the Rogers Centre, according to MLB.com. Barger will begin on the bench for the second time in the team's five games to begin the 2026 season, and he's currently hitless in his first 15 plate appearances of the year with two RBI, two walks, and five strikeouts in four games played.
Nathan Lukes will get the start in right field and will bat fifth for Toronto against Rockies right-hander
Ryan Feltner. It's not time to panic just yet for Barger's fantasy managers, but it's a pretty rough start. In his first full major-league season in 2025, Barger hit .243/.301/.454 with a .756 OPS, 21 home runs, 74 RBI, and 61 runs scored in 135 games. He was outstanding in 17 postseason games, going 22-for-60 (.367) with three homers and nine RBI, perhaps inflating his 2026 fantasy value in redraft leagues. Lukes has never faced Feltner in his career.

Boston Bruins defenseman Mason Lohrei (upper body) will miss a second consecutive game on Tuesday against the Dallas Stars. He took part in the morning skate but isn't yet ready to return from an upper-body injury. Lohrei has appeared in 68 games this season, registering 25 points (seven goals, 18 assists), 68 shots, and 85 blocks. Henri Jokiharju took Lohrei's spot on defense against Columbus on Sunday. The Finnish blue-liner had a fairly uneventful evening against the Blue Jackets, but he has shown some offensive ability with 11 assists in 38 games this campaign.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward
Max Strus (foot) is available for Tuesday's matchup with the Los Angeles Lakers. Strus had Monday's game against Utah off for left foot injury maintenance. The 30-year-old forward has been coming off the bench, averaging 12.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 2.0 assists across six games since recovering from a left foot issue that kept him sidelined for most of the 2025-26 campaign.

March 31, 2026
Dallas Stars defenseman Tyler Myers (undisclosed) won't play on Tuesday against the Boston Bruins, Owen Newkirk of DLLS Sports reports. The veteran blue-liner will exit the lineup after making 11 appearances with the Stars since his move from Vancouver. He hasn't scored with 12 SOG but boasts two assists. Additionally, Myers has recorded 15 blocks and hits. Ilya Lyubushkin will fill the void on the blue line. The Russian rearguard plays similarly to Myers and shouldn't be expected to make offensive contributions. Myers' first opportunity to return will come on Thursday when the Stars host the Winnipeg Jets.
