New Jersey Devils forward Yegor Sharangovich had a second consecutive two-point performance in Saturday's 4-1 win over Philly, helping Janne Kuokkanen to record the game-winning goal and completing the scoring for New Jersey 14:59 into the third period with his 15th goal of the campaign.

Atlanta Braves catcher Travis d'Arnaud (thumb) will be placed on the injured list after exiting Saturday's game with a thumb injury, according to David O'Brien of The Athletic. d'Arnaud was injured while making a tag at the plate in the bottom of the sixth inning and was immediately replaced by Alex Jackson. Manager Brian Snitker […]

Nikola Vucevic Sits Out Against Atlanta

Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic (hip) did not play on Saturday against the Hawks. The veteran has been dealing with tightness in his right Adductor, an injury that puts him in jeopardy to miss Monday's encounter with Philadelphia. If Vucevic does sit again, look for Daniel Theis to slide back into the starting rotation, with […]

Alejandro Kirk Exits Game With Hip Injury

Toronto Blue Jays catcher Alejandro Kirk (hip) exited Saturday's game with left hip flexor discomfort, according to Rob Longley of the Toronto Sun. Kirk was replaced defensively in the seventh inning after going 0-for-1 with a walk and a run scored against the Braves. There's no word as to how long Kirk could be out, […]

Willson Contreras Not In The Lineup Against Cincy

Chicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras (thigh) wasn't in the lineup on Saturday against the Reds. The veteran left Friday's contest after experiencing tightness in his right thigh. Although he is considered day-to-day, he may end up missing Sunday's matinee series finale. He was replaced by Tony Wolters, who had a hit in four at-bats while […]

Marcus Johansson Out For Minnesota On Saturday

Minnesota Wild forward Marcus Johansson (upper body) will miss Saturday's home game against St. Louis with Nick Bjugstad coming in to replace him. The Swedish forward vacated a nice spot on the third line alongside Kevin Fiala and Victor Rask. Johansson had recorded 14 points in 31 games this season. Bjugstad has 15 points in […]

Nikola Vucevic Scratched On Saturday

Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic (groin) is a late scratch from Saturday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. It was originally mentioned earlier in the day that Vucevic was cleared to play on Saturday. Possibly, Vucevic suffered a setback during pregame warmups and will sit out as a precaution. Nonetheless, Daniel Theis and Thaddeus Young will […]

Pius Suter Sits Out Saturday Night

Chicago Blackhawks forward Pius Suter will be scratched for Saturday's battle with the Panthers. Philipp Kurashev is set to join the forward group. Suter has been a first-line center lately, and he boasts a decent 13 goals and 23 points for the season in 50 games with 99 shots and a minus-six rating. The Swiss […]

Omar Narvaez Placed On 10-Day Injured List

Milwaukee Brewers catcher Omar Narvaez (hamstring) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. The veteran is currently dealing with a strained left hamstring, which is especially disappointing news considering that the team is also down Manny Pina (toe). Narvaez has been on a roll this season, sporting a .368 average to go along with […]

J.T. Realmuto To Miss Another One On Saturday

Philadelphia Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto (hand) will not play on Saturday against the Mets. The veteran missed Friday's affair against New York in the series opener due to hand soreness after getting hit by a wild pitch on Thursday night. Andrew Knapp will get the start behind the plate once again, with the 29-year-old posting […]

Nikola Vucevic, Lauri Markkanen Questionable For Saturday

Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic (adductor) and power forward Lauri Markkanen (illness) both have their statuses up in the air for Saturday's game versus Atlanta. Vucevic is the rare player in the league to have not missed a single contest this season, with Daniel Theis and Thaddeus Young looming for added minutes should the Bulls' […]

Casey Mittelstadt Extends Point Streak With Two Assists

Buffalo Sabres forward Casey Mittelstadt stretched his point streak to five games on Saturday, dishing out two assists in a 6-2 loss to Boston. He posted a short-handed assist on a Riley Sheahan goal and helped Arttu Ruotsalainen to score in an even-strength situation. Mittelstadt is enjoying a very productive second half of the season […]

Darius Garland, Isaiah Hartenstein, Lamar Stevens Out Saturday

The Cleveland Cavaliers will be significantly short-handed for Saturday's game versus the Heat as point guard Darius Garland (ankle), center Isaiah Hartenstein (concussion) and small forward Lamar Stevens (concussion) have all been deemed unavailable. Garland's loss is the most significant for Cleveland, who is likely to shift Collin Sexton over to the starting PG spot, […]

Kristaps Porzingis, J.J. Redick Will Miss Saturday’s Game

Dallas Mavericks power forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (knee) and shooting guard J.J. Redick (heel) have both been ruled out for Saturday's contest versus Washington. Porzingis will have played just once in Dallas' past five games, seeing only 21 minutes in that lone outing. The move could be somewhat precautionary with the Mavericks playing the first leg […]

Anze Kopitar Collects Another Point For Los Angeles

Los Angeles Kings centerman Anze Kopitar continues to be a bright spot for his team. Kopitar netted the game-winning goal with just 56 seconds left in regulation to defeat Anaheim 2-1 on Friday. The veteran forward has registered 12 goals and 35 helpers in 48 games. Los Angeles has lost three of five matches, with […]

Wilson Ramos Out Of Lineup Saturday

Detroit Tigers catcher Wilson Ramos is out of the lineup on Saturday against the Yankees. Grayson Greiner will get the start behind the plate and bat eighth against New York starter Jameson Taillon. Ramos is in the midst of what's shaping up to potentially be a nice bounce-back season from 2020, as he's hitting .224 […]
