Fantasy Baseball Preseason Injury Updates

Injuries remain commonplace in all sports. Baseball has seen the rate of injury continue to rise over the past few years. In fantasy, if someone is not in the medical field, it is hard to gauge how long a player will be out and whether they need to be replaced in a lineup. Sometimes this […]

Yadier Molina Officially Returns To Cardinals

The St. Louis Cardinals agreed on a one-year, $9 million deal to re-sign catcher Yadier Molina on Monday.

Jarrett Allen Starting For Injured Larry Nance Jr.

Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen is starting Monday against the Suns with Larry Nance Jr. (finger) sidelined for approximately six weeks. It appears the Cavs are going with a two-center lineup with Allen starting alongside Andre Drummond. It's a strange lineup since neither player is much of a shooter, so it's hard to know at […]

Gaetan Haas Moved To Injured Reserve

Edmonton Oilers center Gaetan Haas will be placed on the Injured Reserve. The Swiss native was hurt against the Senators last week. There isn't any news on how long Haas will be out of the lineup. Forward Tyler Ennis was called up from the team's taxi squad. Haas has played in two games this season […]

Alex Len Makes Second Consecutive Start Monday

Washington Wizards center Alex Len has entered the starting five for the second straight outing Monday versus the Bulls.

Nerlens Noel Out Again On Tuesday

New York Knicks center Nerlens Noel (knee) is expected to sit out of Tuesday's matchup against the Trail Blazers. The veteran has missed his previous three games while dealing with soreness, which will open up some minutes in the middle, a void that will likely be filled once again by Taj Gibson.

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns (illness) is listed as doubtful ahead of Monday night's meeting with the Mavericks.
