San Francisco Giants infielder
Casey Schmitt (wrist) will continue his hitting progression for one more week before he'll be cleared for all baseball activities, according to MLB.com. Schmitt is a little behind in spring training after having surgery to remove the carpal boss in his left wrist with Dr. Steven Shin in Los Angeles on Dec. 2. The 26-year-old is primarily a middle infielder, but he filled in at the hot corner in San Fran for a bit last year when
Matt Chapman was out due to injuries. Schmitt slashed a very modest .237/.305/.401 with a .706 OPS, a career-high 12 home runs, 40 RBI, and 34 runs scored in a career-high 95 games played (348 plate appearances). His batted-ball metrics are merely average, and Schmitt doesn't make enough consistent contact to carry a high average if he falls into more playing time around the infield. In a utility role, Schmitt can be ignored in mixed fantasy leagues in 2026.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard
Anthony Edwards (illness) has been upgraded from questionable to available for Wednesday's game against Portland. Edwards has been on a tear, averaging 31.4 points, 6.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.6 steals, and 2.8 three-pointers in 37.6 minutes over his last five games. He posted 30 points, six rebounds, and six assists in 38 minutes in his most recent outing. With a 32.2 percent usage rate, Edwards remains a locked-in fantasy anchor. His availability keeps secondary options like
Ayo Dosunmu and
Naz Reid in complementary roles.

New York Knicks center
Mitchell Robinson (ankle) will be in action on Wednesday against the Philadelphia 76ers. The big man was rested for the first leg of a back-to-back on Tuesday versus Indiana, but is ready to provide cover to
Karl-Anthony Towns at the No. 5 spot against Philadelphia. Robinson has posted 4.8 points and 6.8 rebounds in 20.5 minutes per game this month. New York's bigs will contend with a Sixers frontcourt missing
Joel Embiid (knee), which should make their job easier on Wednesday night.

New York Knicks forward
OG Anunoby (toe) is day-to-day entering the All-Star break, according to coach Mike Brown, after missing four straight games with a right toe issue and sitting out Wednesday against Philadelphia. The veteran wing's designation suggests he could return Feb. 19 versus Detroit. In his absence,
Landry Shamet has started the last two games, posting 17 points with four three-pointers in 38 minutes against Indiana but just three points in 28 minutes versus Boston. Shamet is a volatile streamer, while
Josh Hart and
Mikal Bridges continue to see stable workloads and usage.

Chicago Bulls forward
Isaac Okoro (knee) won't play against the Boston Celtics on Wednesday. Okoro was added to the team's injury report due to a sore left knee. His next chance to get back in action is after the All-Star break on Feb. 19 against the Raptors.
Patrick Williams and
Leonard Miller could be in line to see extended minutes with Okoro out of action this evening.

February 11, 2026
Indiana Pacers forward
Jarace Walker (illness) and forward/center
Micah Potter (ankle) will be active against the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday. Both players were listed as questionable on the initial injury report. Indiana will wrap up a back-to-back on Wednesday and won't have any of its big guns in the lineup, giving players like Walker and Potter an excellent opportunity to have larger roles. Potter looks set to make a second consecutive start, while Walker may join him in the first unit. Overall, the Pacers will have only nine players available for this game.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
February 11, 2026
Houston Rockets forward
Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) is ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. As expected, Finney-Smith will sit out the second game of the back-to-back set. The Rockets have been cautious with Finney-Smith while he deals with a lingering ankle issue. His absence could mean an increased role for
Josh Okogie, with
Tari Eason (ankle) considered questionable for this game. Okogie could offer some low-end streaming appeal if Eason is unable to play.
--Andy WebbSource: NBA Injury Report
February 11, 2026
Washington Wizards center
Alexandre Sarr (hamstring) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Cleveland due to right hamstring tightness. The second-year big is averaging 28.2 minutes with a 24.3 percent usage rate and has delivered steady production when available, chipping in scoring, rebounding, and defensive numbers in a clear starter's role. With
Tristan Vukcevic (illness) also sidelined,
Anthony Gill could absorb frontcourt minutes, though he has scored nine points or fewer in four of his last five appearances and remains a fringe deep-league option. Sarr carries clear upside, but a late-season shutdown risk exists if Washington leans fully into development.
--Brian DailisanSource: NBA Injury Report
February 11, 2026
Brooklyn Nets forward/center
Noah Clowney (ankle) will miss Wednesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. The team initially listed Clowney as probable, upgraded him to available, and then unexpectedly ruled him out before tip-off. With
Nicolas Claxton (hip) and
Michael Porter Jr. (knee) also unavailable, the Nets will be without three regular starters. The Pacers are also sending out a weakened team, so it's difficult to project how the rotation will work out for Brooklyn.
Jalen Wilson and
Ziaire Williams should be in line for additional minutes due to Clowney's absence.
--Taavi PailkSource: Brooklyn Nets
February 11, 2026
Chicago Bulls forward/center
Jalen Smith (calf) won't play against Boston on Wednesday. Smith will miss his third consecutive contest due to a calf injury. Before his absence, he averaged 13.2 points and 8.4 rebounds in 25.9 minutes per game over his last 11 outings (eight starts). Once he returns, the 25-year-old could see an expanded role, particularly with
Nikola Vucevic no longer in the picture. Without Smith, Guershon Yabusele,
Matas Buzelis,
Nick Richards, and
Patrick Williams will continue to anchor the frontcourt.
--Andrew LennoxSource: NBA Injury Report
February 11, 2026
Toronto Raptors center
Jakob Poeltl (back) is available ahead of Wednesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Poeltl will get back on the court for the first time since December 21. Poeltl has been out multiple weeks due to a lower back strain, but will return to the mix during the final game before the All-Star break. The Raptors are expected to have Poeltl on a minutes limit during his first game back on the court. His return should mean reduced roles for
Sandro Mamukelashvili and
Trayce Jackson-Davis in the rotation. Poeltl won't be an ideal DFS option given his expected minutes limit, but fantasy managers in season-long formats can get him active.
--Andy WebbSource: Blake Murphy
February 11, 2026
Brooklyn Nets center
Nicolas Claxton (hip) has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup with the Indiana Pacers. Due to a sore right hip, he will be unavailable for only the third time this season. Claxton missed a pair of games in early January, and
Day'Ron Sharpe stepped in for him as the starting center. Sharpe will likely return to the first unit on Wednesday, having averaged 12.0 points, 7.3 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 2.3 steals in his previous starts this season.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
February 11, 2026
Philadelphia 76ers forward
Dominick Barlow (illness) will be active against the New York Knicks on Wednesday. He is back in the mix after missing one game due to illness. Barlow will likely reclaim his starting spot from
Trendon Watford. Despite being a starter for most of the campaign, Barlow hasn't provided much help to fantasy squads. He has averaged 8.9 points and 5.2 rebounds in a starting role.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
February 11, 2026
Milwaukee Bucks forward
Pete Nance (ankle) will play on Wednesday against the Orlando Magic. He has shed a questionable tag and is set to provide frontcourt cover off the bench. Nance has enjoyed a good six-game stretch, averaging 10.2 points and 3.7 rebounds in 18.7 minutes. Opposing benches shoot a league-high 48.4 percent against Orlando, giving an excellent opportunity for Nance to build on his recent momentum.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
February 11, 2026
Chicago Bulls point guard
Tre Jones (hamstring) won't play on Wednesday against the Boston Celtics. The 26-year-old will miss his 11th straight game due to a strained left hamstring. His next chance to return will be after the All-Star breakon Feb. 19 against Toronto.
Josh Giddey (hamstring) will also remain sidelined, so
Anfernee Simons and
Jaden Ivey will likely continue to start in the backcourt. There will also be plenty of minutes available off the bench for
Collin Sexton and
Rob Dillingham.
--Andrew LennoxSource: NBA Injury Report
February 11, 2026
Milwaukee Bucks guard
Ryan Rollins (foot) will miss the first game of a back-to-back on Wednesday against the Orlando Magic. He was a late addition to the injury report due to right foot plantar fasciitis. Rollins' absence could give
Cam Thomas a chance to start, while
Gary Harris is another option. At the same time, there will be more shots available to
Kevin Porter Jr.,
Kyle Kuzma, and
AJ Green.

Veteran catcher
Jacob Stallings has retired from playing baseball and is joining the Pittsburgh Pirates' front office as a baseball operations specialist, according to Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Stallings split the first half of the 2025 season with the Rockies and Orioles, but he elected free agency at the end of July in lieu of being sent outright to Triple-A. He slashed just .134/.195/.168 with a 31% strikeout rate and -7 wRC+ last year, and his defense also took a step backward as he posted -1.4 FRM and -5 FRV. Overall, he finishes his 577-game MLB career with 33 home runs, 77 wRC+, 0.5 FRM, and 9 FRV. The University of North Carolina product will now make the jump to a front office role with the Pirates, who drafted him in 2012 and rostered him through 2021.

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward
Quentin Grimes (illness) will miss a second straight contest on Wednesday against the New York Knicks. Philadelphia ruled him out for the game after initially listing him as questionable due to illness.
Kyle Lowry,
MarJon Beauchamp, and
Dalen Terry could all benefit from Grimes' absence on Wednesday, but they shouldn't be considered as fantasy options. With the All-Star break approaching, Grimes' next chance to return will come on Feb. 19 against the Atlanta Hawks.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
February 11, 2026
Chicago Bulls guard
Josh Giddey (hamstring) won't play against the Boston Celtics on Wednesday. The 23-year-old will miss his eighth game in a row due to a left hamstring strain and his next chance to return to action is after the All-Star break, Feb. 19 against Toronto.
Tre Jones (hamstring) is also out tonight (hamstring), likely leaving plenty of extra minutes for new Bulls
Anfernee Simons,
Jaden Ivey,
Collin Sexton, and
Rob Dillingham.
--Andrew LennoxSource: NBA Injury Report
February 11, 2026
Philadelphia 76ers center
Joel Embiid (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's big matchup with the New York Knicks. He will be sidelined for a second consecutive game to manage his right knee injury.
Andre Drummond and
Adem Bona are set to fill in for Embiid again. The former is the more attractive fantasy option, as Drummond will likely start at center. As a member of the first unit, Drummond has averaged 8.9 points and 10.8 rebounds this season.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
February 11, 2026
Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher
Orion Kerkering (hamstring) has a Grade 1 hamstring strain, according to Matt Gelb of The Athletic. Kerkering is "a little behind" as spring training gets underway. While this is certainly a situation worth monitoring, it doesn't sound like Kerkering's injury is too serious, and he should be ready for Opening Day if he doesn't experience any setbacks. The 24-year-old fell out of the closer-by-committee group when Philadelphia acquired
Jhoan Duran last year, but he still posted a solid 3.82 FIP with 9.75 K/9, 4.05 BB/9, and a 42% ground ball rate across 69 appearances (60.0 innings). However, without many save opportunities in his future, he's not a very appealing option in fantasy baseball drafts.
--Andersen PickardSource: Matt Gelb
February 11, 2026
Atlanta Hawks forward
Zaccharie Risacher (quadriceps) has been upgraded to available for Wednesday's matchup with the Charlotte Hornets. The French forward was initially considered questionable due to a left quadriceps contusion. Risacher has struggled to regain form since returning from a knee injury, averaging 7.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 1.0 steals in 21.5 minutes per game this month. However, this stretch includes a strong 18-point, three-block performance against Charlotte on Feb. 7.

The Toronto Blue Jays will monitor starting pitcher
Trey Yesavage's workload this season, according to general manager Ross Atkins. Yesavage made his MLB debut last season, ultimately accruing 139.2 innings between the minors and majors (including the postseason). This was a pretty hefty innings total for the young right-hander, especially since 2025 was his first season playing pro baseball. He didn't log any game action in the months after being drafted in 2024. While it may seem like Toronto rushed him to the majors, the results speak for themselves. The right-hander logged 11.9 K/9 and 3.9 BB/9 between the regular season and postseason, accruing a 51.9% ground ball rate and 3.19 FIP. It's important to note that Atkins said Yesavage's workload will be "monitored," which means the Jays are keeping close tabs on his usage but might not necessarily restrict his innings.

February 11, 2026
According to NBA writer Justin Russo, Los Angeles Clippers forward
Nicolas Batum (rest) is unavailable for Wednesday's matchup with the Houston Rockets. The 37-year-old did not log any minutes in Tuesday's loss to Houston and will now get the second half of the back-to-back off for maintenance purposes. Batum is averaging 4.4 points and 2.6 rebounds in 19.5 minutes per game, so his absence is unlikely to carry much fantasy impact this evening.
--Andrew LennoxSource: Justin Russo
February 11, 2026
Atlanta Hawks guard
Dyson Daniels (ankle) will return from a one-game absence on Wednesday against the Charlotte Hornets. He was initially listed as questionable for the game after Daniels missed Monday's loss to Minnesota with an ankle issue.
CJ McCollum had a big 38-point performance on Monday as Daniels' replacement in the first unit. The veteran is set to land back on the bench for Wednesday's action, but McCollum will still play an important role for the team. Daniels has averaged 15.7 points, 6.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists, and 1.7 steals in three matchups with the Hornets this season.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
February 11, 2026
Atlanta Hawks forward
Jalen Johnson (knee) has received the green light to play on Wednesday against the Charlotte Hornets. He missed Monday's loss to Minnesota with a knee problem and was initially listed as questionable for Wednesday's contest. With Johnson back,
Asa Newell must settle for a bench role. Johnson has had an extraordinary campaign, saving some of his best performances for the Hornets. In three meetings with Charlotte, Johnson has averaged 34.0 points, 9.3 rebounds, 9.3 assists, and 1.7 steals.

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher
Tanner Houck (elbow) will resume throwing next week in hopes of being ready to rejoin the pitching staff in September, according to Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald. Houck hasn't pitched in the majors since last May, when he suffered a right flexor pronator strain. He suffered a setback while rehabbing in the minors, and he ultimately underwent Tommy John surgery in August. The right-hander didn't pitch very well when healthy, as he allowed 39 earned runs over 43.2 innings (nine starts). His strikeout rate dropped to a career-low 6.60 K/9 while his home run rate ballooned to 2.06 HR/9. Presumably, the Red Sox hope that his struggles were related to his injury and that he can get back on track when healthy later this year. However, with September as his target return, Houck still has a long recovery ahead of him.
--Andersen PickardSource: Gabrielle Starr
February 11, 2026
Boston Celtics forward
Sam Hauser (back) will be active against the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday. He has been cleared to return from a back issue that kept Hauser sidelined on Sunday against the New York Knicks. Hauser's return will likely bump
Baylor Scheierman to the bench, where he won't have any fantasy value. In recent appearances, Hauser has blown hot and cold, shooting only 20 percent from deep this month. As a three-point sniper, Hauser is in a good spot to bounce back on Wednesday, as Chicago allows the eighth-most three-point makes in the league.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
February 11, 2026
Boston Celtics center
Neemias Queta (ankle) will play on Wednesday night against the Chicago Bulls. The team has upgraded his status from probable to available. Queta has recently been dealing with a right ankle sprain. Even with
Nikola Vucevic in town, Queta has remained Boston's starting center. The two have shared the workload evenly so far. As a much more skilled offensive player, Vucevic has a higher fantasy ceiling, though Queta also has strengths in his game, giving Boston two quality big men.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
February 11, 2026
Washington Wizards center
Tristan Vukcevic (illness) will miss Wednesday's matchup with the Cleveland Cavaliers due to an illness. The 22-year-old big man is averaging 7.5 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.1 assists across 11.9 minutes per contest in 33 outings this season. Washington's frontcourt could also be without
Alexandre Sarr (hamstring), who is listed as questionable, so veteran forward
Anthony Gill may take on more playing time than usual.
