Bo Naylor - Fantasy Baseball Draft Values and Sleepers (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Target in drafts ~pick 216 CURRENT ADP: ~238 ANALYSIS: Bo Naylor is often the No. 14 catcher off of the board and therefore is largely undrafted in most single-catcher, 12-team formats (the most popular). Naylor boasts above-average power and sports quietly effective wheels, with stellar plate discipline to balance out a batting average that […]

Martin Pospisil Starts Three-Game Suspension Thursday

Calgary Flames forward Martin Pospisil has been suspended for three games for boarding Seattle Kraken defenseman Vince Dunn in Monday's 4-2 loss. Pospisil was handed a five-minute major and ejected from the game for his hit on Dunn, who exited the contest with an undisclosed injury and wasn't in the lineup on Tuesday versus Winnipeg. […]

Karl-Anthony Towns Out Indefinitely

According to The Athletic's Shams Charania, Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Town has been diagnosed with a torn meniscus in his left knee and is out indefinitely. Minnesota had already ruled him out for Thursday's clash with the Pacers, and it now looks like it's going to be a while until we see Towns on the […]

Wendell Carter Jr. Listed As Questionable For Friday

Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. (knee) has been listed as questionable on the injury report ahead of Friday's encounter with the Knicks. The 24-year-old big man saw a run of 23 straight appearances come to an end on Wednesday when he missed the second leg of a back-to-back against Washington with right knee soreness. […]

Toronto Raptors center Jakob Poeltl (finger) will miss a second consecutive contest on Thursday versus Phoenix and is considered out indefinitely after undergoing surgery.

Oklahoma City Thunder center Bismack Biyombo has been medically cleared after he collapsed during the team's clash with Portland on Wednesday.

Jose Trevino Slated To Make Spring Debut Sunday

New York Yankees catcher Jose Trevino (calf) is scheduled to return to the lineup on Sunday, according to Bryan Hoch of MLB.com. The veteran backstop has been sidelined for most of Spring Training with a calf injury he suffered after recovering from wrist surgery. The 31-year-old had a strong season defensively last year but took […]

Victor Wembanyama Won't Face The Kings

San Antonio Spurs forward/center Victor Wembanyama (ankle) won't play on Thursday against the Sacramento Kings. The rookie has had a fantastic inaugural year, and he most recently had a double-double with seven blocks on Tuesday versus the Houston Rockets. More impressively, this will only be his seventh absence of the 2023-24 campaign. Nevertheless, Wembanyama's next […]

Deandre Ayton Downgraded To Out

Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (hand) has been downgraded to out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Ayton was listed as doubtful coming into this game and will officially sit out his fourth straight contest. In his absence, Duop Reath will move into the starting five on Wednesday. He has been […]

Maxi Kleber Considered Probable For Thursday

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Maxi Kleber (knee) is on the injury report as probable ahead of Thursday's clash with Miami. He missed one game last week, but Kleber has been fairly durable since returning from a toe injury in mid-January, and it looks like he will be good to go against the Heat. Kleber has been […]

Paul Reed Back In Starting Five Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers center Paul Reed will return to the starting five on Wednesday versus Memphis. Reed has been Philadelphia's main starting center since Joel Embiid (knee) dropped out of the lineup, but 76ers head coach Nick Nurse had preferred to run Mo Bamba with the starters in the previous three games. Bamba hasn't done much […]

Jaren Jackson Jr. Returns To Action Versus Philadelphia

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Jaren Jackson Jr. (quadriceps) has been cleared to return to action against the 76ers on Wednesday. He'll get back to work after sitting out three games with a right quadriceps issue. Jackson Jr.'s return is set to push Trey Jemison back to the bench, where his fantasy value will be non-existent. Meanwhile, […]

Wendell Carter Jr. Ruled Out For Wednesday's Game

Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. (knee) won't play on Wednesday versus Washington. He was a late addition to the injury report with right knee soreness and has now been ruled out. Goga Bitadze is starting in his place. The Georgian giant has previously averaged 7.6 points and 7.3 rebounds in 23.8 minutes as a […]

Jeff Green Sits Out Wednesday's Game

Houston Rockets forward/center Jeff Green (knee) won't be in the lineup as the team completes a back-to-back set against the Clippers on Wednesday. The veteran has come through previous back-to-backs with no issues, but left knee pain will end his run of 19 consecutive appearances. Green logged only six minutes against San Antonio on Tuesday […]

Jabari Smith Jr. Good To Go Wednesday

Houston Rockets forward/center Jabari Smith Jr. (illness) will play on Wednesday against the Clippers. The talented Auburn product has been battling an illness and initially landed on the injury report with a questionable tag, but he has been upgraded to available. However, how effective Smith Jr. can be remains to be seen. He already struggled […]

Mike Zunino Announces Retirement

Free-agent catcher Mike Zunino has retired from professional baseball. Known for both his prodigious power and big-time strikeout rates, the 32-year-old spent the 2023 season with the Cleveland Guardians but struggled to a .177 average with just three homers in 42 games before being designated for assignment to pave the way for the catcher of […]

Karl-Anthony Towns Won't Play On Thursday

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Indiana. The four-time All-Star misses a dream fantasy matchup with left knee soreness. Minnesota starts a back-to-back on Thursday, so it's possible the team is simply resting Towns. With him out, Naz Reid will become a popular man in all fantasy […]

Day'Ron Sharpe Questionable For Thursday

Brooklyn Nets center Day'Ron Sharpe (wrist) is questionable for Thursday's contest against the Detroit Pistons. The 22-year-old has had the best season of his career, averaging 7.3 points and 6.7 rebounds. But he's also missed plenty of time this season. His most recent ailment, a sprained wrist, occurred on Monday versus Memphis. As a result, […]

Keibert Ruiz Enjoys Productive Afternoon Wednesday

Washington Nationals catcher Keibert Ruiz had a solid day at the plate as part of his team's 9-3 Grapefruit League win over the Miami Marlins. He scored a run in the fourth inning before collecting an RBI double and scoring again in the fifth. The 25-year-old backstop is now 4-for-13 (.308) on the spring, although […]

Flyers Immediately Place Ryan Johansen On Waivers

The Philadelphia Flyers have immediately placed center Ryan Johansen on waivers. The veteran was acquired as part of the trade that sent defenseman Sean Walker to the Colorado Avalanche on Wednesday but his inclusion was strictly financially related. He is owed $4 million in the final year of his deal next season as the Flyers […]

Josh Norris Doubtful To Return This Season

Ottawa Senators forward Josh Norris is unlikely to return to action this season after he suffered yet another left shoulder injury. The 24-year-old has already had his left shoulder operated on twice while a third procedure is reportedly in play. It's a devastating setback as Norris skated in just eight games due to shoulder surgery […]

Sabres, Avalanche Swap Casey Mittelstadt, Bowen Byram

The Buffalo Sabres and Colorado Avalanche have made a trade that will send center Casey Middlestadt to the Avs while defenseman Bowen Byram goes to the Sabres. The 25-year-old is in the midst of a career year that has seen him post 14 goals and 47 points across 62 games. He is on pace to […]

Rangers Acquire Alex Wennberg From Kraken

The New York Rangers have acquired veteran center Alex Wennberg from the Seattle Kraken. In return, the Kraken will receive a second-round pick in 2024 and a fourth-rounder in 2025. The club is retaining 50% of Wennberg's pro-rated $4.5 million cap hit. He is a free agent following this season. The 29-year-old is a solid […]

Scott Laughton Misses Practice Wednesday

Philadelphia Flyers forward Scott Laughton did not participate in Wednesday's practice due to illness. Given the trade speculation surrounding the 29-year-old, some alarm bells went off after he wasn't seen on the ice Wednesday but there appears to be another reason for his absence. A quality two-way center, Laughton has recorded 10 goals and 32 […]

Oilers Nearing A Trade For Adam Henrique, Sam Carrick

The Edmonton Oilers are nearing a deal that would see them net forwards Adam Henrique and Sam Carrick from the Anaheim Ducks. While the exact return has yet to be released at this point, there is reportedly salary retention involved, as well as a third-party broker to help facilitate the swap. Henrique, 34, is in […]

Austin Barnes Returns For Dodgers On Wednesday

Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Austin Barnes (back) is returning to Cactus League action on Wednesday against the Chicago White Sox. Barnes will do the catching and hit eighth in the batting order.
