The 29-year-old has played just 42 games at the big-league level with […]
Tim Capurso 4 years agoBrent Rooker Optioned To Alternate Site
Minnesota Twins outfielder Brent Rooker was optioned to the team's alternate site. Rooker was seemingly the favorite for the starting left-field job after fellow prospect Alex Kirilloff was sent down to the minors, but it was not to be. Rooker had a solid spring at the plate, though he did strike out 15 times while […]
Tim Capurso 4 years agoMichael Carter-Williams Returning To Action Tuesday
Orlando Magic guard Michael Carter-Williams (knee) will be returning to the lineup on Tuesday against the Clippers.

Tim Capurso 4 years agoClint Capela, De'Andre Hunter Questionable For Tuesday's Game
Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (hand) and forward De'Andre Hunter (knee) are questionable to suit up for Tuesday's contest against the Suns. Capela has a pair of monster double-doubles in two of his last three games- and he has yet to miss time for this injury, so he's a safe bet to suit up against […]
Tim Capurso 4 years agoLarry Nance Jr. Ruled Out On Monday
Cleveland Cavaliers forward Larry Nance Jr. (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Jazz. Nance has a non-COVID related illness, so it's probably not something that will keep him sidelined for too long. His absence comes at a bad time for a Cleveland frontcourt that was already down Jarrett Allen (head) and […]
Tim Capurso 4 years agoHassan Whiteside Out Monday Against Spurs
Sacramento Kings center Hassan Whiteside will miss his third straight contest on Monday against San Antonio. Whiteside has been dealing with a sore knee, though it's at least a good sign that he was initially listed as questionable. His absence will mean that Richaun Holmes will continue to dominate the frontcourt touches for Sacramento, though […]
Tim Capurso 4 years agoJerami Grant Available To Play Monday
Detroit Pistons forward Jerami Grant (quad) is available to play in Monday's matchup with Toronto. Grant suffered the quad injury during Saturday's game, but it doesn't appear to be too serious, given his quick return to action.

Tim Capurso 4 years agoKyle Lowry To Suit Up Against Pistons
Toronto Raptors guard Kyle Lowry (foot) will suit up on Monday against the Pistons. Lowry was a late scratch on Sunday, though he appears to have had enough time to rest his sore foot. The veteran guard has had a bit of a rough month shooting the ball, though he's averaging 9.4 assists per game […]
Tim Capurso 4 years agoJulius Randle, Reggie Bullock Returning To Lineup Monday
New York Knicks forward Julius Randle (thigh) and guard Reggie Bullock (ankle) are returning to the lineup on Monday against the Heat.

Minnesota Twins outfielder Jake Cave went 2-for-3 with an RBI triple, a run scored, and a strikeout in a 5-3 win over the Pirates on Monday.

Tim Capurso 4 years agoJarrett Allen Ruled Out Monday Against Jazz
Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen (head) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Jazz. Allen suffered a concussion in Friday's game with the Lakers and was forced to miss the second half of his team's back-to-back on Saturday.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee), forward Khris Middleton (hip), and guard Jrue Holiday (knee) have all been removed from the team's injury report ahead of Monday's contest with the Clippers.

Tim Capurso 4 years agoMike Conley Off The Injury Report For Monday's Contest
Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley (hamstring) is off the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Cavaliers. Conley was held out of the team's recent back-to-back for rest, so he should be expected back out there at 100 percent for the contest against Cleveland. It's not a great matchup for the veteran guard, though […]
Tim Capurso 4 years agoLuguentz Dort To Miss Monday's Game
Oklahoma City Thunder forward Luguentz Dort (head) is set to miss Monday's game against Dallas as he remains in the league's concussion protocols. Dort suffered the concussion during Saturday's contest with the Celtics and entered the protocol on Sunday, so it wouldn't be surprising to see his status be in question for Wednesday's game as […]
Tim Capurso 4 years agoKyle Lowry Questionable To Play Against Pistons
Toronto Raptors guard Kyle Lowry (foot) is questionable to play against the Pistons on Monday night. Lowry was a late scratch on Sunday night because of a sore foot- and the ailment is leaving his status for Monday's game up-in-the-air. If the veteran guard can't suit up, expect Fred VanVleet, Gary Trent Jr., and Rodney […]

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (hip) has been ruled out for Monday's game with the Pelicans. Guard Evan Fournier (health and safety protocols) is set to make his debut.

Tim Capurso 4 years agoMitch Garver Returns To Lineup Monday
Minnesota Twins catcher Mitch Garver (finger) is back in the lineup for Monday's game against the Pirates. Garver fouled a ball off his left finger in Thursday's Grapefruit League game, though the Twins didn't believe it to be a serious ailment at the time- and his quick return to action supports that sentiment. The 30-year-old […]

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker scored a game-high 35 points in Sunday's 101-97 win over the Hornets.

Tim Capurso 4 years agoMax Kepler In The Midst Of A Slump
Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler has been slumping for much of the spring. Kepler has just three hits in 39 plate appearances, along with 10 strikeouts compared to zero walks in 13 Grapefruit League games. For what it's worth, manager Rocco Baldelli isn't worried about his 28-year-old outfielder, citing how Kepler has looked and what […]
