Jared Jones Shut Down For Six Weeks

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Jared Jones (elbow) will be shut down from throwing for the next six weeks. The good news is, Jones won't require surgery, so it doesn't appear he's in jeopardy of having a season-ending injury. The right-hander will need to build up his arm strength and stamina, so fantasy managers might not […]

Walker Buehler To Start On Saturday

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Walker Buehler (illness) is scheduled to take the mound against the Texas Rangers on Saturday. The right-hander was scratched from his most recent start due to a minor illness. It sounds like Buehler looked fine during his five innings of work on Monday.

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Brandon Pfaadt has won the final spot in the rotation. The right-hander has done a nice job this spring with a 3.18 ERA and 13/2 K/BB ratio across 11 innings of work. Pfaadt was a healthy and capable option for the D-Backs last season. He registered a 4.71 ERA, 1.23 WHIP, […]

Athletics infielder Zack Gelof (hand) is unfortunately going to start the season on the injured list. Gelof will undergo surgery to repair a hamate bone fracture in his right hand.

Zac Veen Optioned To Minors

Colorado Rockies outfielder Zac Veen has been optioned to minor league camp on Sunday. The Rockies have been some interesting decisions lately.

Malik Monk Unavailable On Saturday

Sacramento Kings guard Malik Monk (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks.

It's possible that Norby does […]

Both players are coming off down years in 2024, but the difference is […]

Nolan Jones Traded To Guardians

Colorado Rockies outfielder Nolan Jones has been traded to the Cleveland Guardians on Saturday. Jones was scratched ahead of Saturday's contest, so now that makes sense why he was benched. The 26-year-old will head to Cleveland in exchange for infielder Tyler Freeman. The Guardians can't be exactly sure what they will be getting with Jones. […]

Caleb Durbin Heads To Minors

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Caleb Durbin has been optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Saturday.
