Montreal Canadiens center Kirby Dach has been ruled out for the season because of a torn ACL and MCL in his right knee. The 22-year-old was hurt in only the second game of the season against Chicago last week. It's an awful blow for Dach, who already sat out a big chunk of last season. […]

One Injury Away: Valuable Handcuffs To Keep An Eye On For 2023-24 Fantasy Basketball

Handcuffing is a popular strategy in fantasy sports that involves drafting the backups to your studs.

Seattle Mariners catcher Brian O'Keefe cleared waivers on Tuesday and has been outrighted to Triple-A Tacoma. The Mariners originally designated O'Keefe for assignment last Friday.

Philadelphia head coach John Tortorella will […]

Steven Stamkos Remains Out Tuesday

Tampa Bay Lightning forward Steven Stamkos (lower body) will miss a second consecutive game on Tuesday against Buffalo.

Carlos Perez Becomes Free Agent

Oakland Athletics catcher Carlos Perez became a free agent on Monday when he declined an outright assignment to Triple-A Las Vegas.

Carson Fulmer, Others Outrighted By Angels

The Los Angeles Angels outrighted right-hander Carson Fulmer, catcher Chad Wallach, outfielder Brett Phillips and pitcher Jhonathan Diaz to Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday. Wallach and Phillips are arbitration-eligible, so they were likely to be non-tendered. Each of the players could still re-sign with the team despite reaching free agency this offseason. Fulmer, 29, pitched […]

Florida Panthers forward Sam Reinhart had two goals as the team collected its first win of the season on Monday, beating the Devils 4-3 on the road.

Knicks Explored A Mitchell Robinson Trade With Trail Blazers

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson has always seemed to be the odd man out when it came to the team's core.

Sean Couturier Misses Monday's Practice

Philadelphia Flyers center Sean Couturier sat out Monday's practice with an undisclosed injury. According to Flyers head coach John Tortorella, Couturier is "banged up," and the injury isn't related to his previous back problem, which kept the veteran centerman sidelined for the entire 2022-23 campaign. The latter part of the statement is great news, but […]

Evan Mobley Will Watch From The Sidelines On Monday

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Evan Mobley is getting a rest night along with most of the starting five against Maccabi Ra'Anana on Monday night. The up-and-coming big man has posted an average preseason so far, but he also hasn't played that many minutes since the team is likely making sure he stays healthy before the regular […]

Robby Fabbri To Remain Out Monday

Detroit Red Wings forward Robby Fabbri (undisclosed) is expected to miss a second consecutive game Monday versus Columbus. Red Wings head coach Derek Lalonde initially hoped to have Fabbri available after he sat out Saturday's 6-4 win over Tampa Bay, but it looks like he needs a bit more time to recover. Fabbri was actually […]

Gabriel Moreno Back In Game 1 Lineup For NLCS

Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Gabriel Moreno (hand, wrist) is back in the starting lineup for Game 1 of the National League Championship Series on Monday against the Philadelphia Phillies.

Montreal Canadiens center Kirby Dach (lower body) suffered a significant lower-body injury in Saturday's game against the Chicago Blackhawks and is expected to be out indefinitely.

Joel Embiid Ready For Preseason Debut Monday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid is expected to make his preseason debut in Monday's matchup versus Brooklyn.
