J. Winker - LF

CIN

Winker (neck) could face significant competition for playing time this season, following the Reds' signings of Nick Castellanos and Shogo Akiyama.

Right now Winker has to both prove that he's healthy and then beat out Akiyama or Nick Senzel for playing time, not to mention Aristides Aquino. At best, a platoon role seems most likely absent a trade and/or an injury.

M. Wright - RP

Wright is in the mix for the Orioles' fifth rotation spot even after the signings of Andrew Cashner and Chris Tillman, Brittany Ghiroli of MLB.com reports.

Wright has good numbers at the Triple-A level (3.53 ERA, 0.6 HR/9), but he hasn't been able to translate those figures to the major leagues. He also spent all of his time in Baltimore last season as a bullpen arm, mustering just a 5.76 ERA (albeit with a 4.76 FIP). It may work in Wright's favor that he's out of options, but he'll need to pitch better than Gabriel Ynoa and Miguel Castro -- his main competition for the role -- this spring if he wants to grab the last spot.

M. Castro - RP

NYM

Castro still has a chance to crack the Orioles' rotation even after the signings of Andrew Cashner and Chris Tillman, Brittany Ghiroli of MLB.com reports.

The tall right-hander spent the last three seasons as a reliever, but the Orioles want to see what he can do as a starter given their lack of depth at the position. Castro had a decent campaign with the Orioles last season, producing a 3.53 ERA in 38 relief appearances and one start, but his peripherals raise many concerns. He hasn't struck out many batters in the majors (6.2 K/9 over the last three seasons) and he walks too many hitters (3.9 BB/9 in that span), with his FIP last season coming in nearly a run and a half higher than his ERA. Gabriel Ynoa and Mike Wright will also be vying for a rotation spot this spring.

J. Harden - SG

Rockets owner Leslie Alexander said James Harden will have a voice when it comes to the team's free agency signings this offseason.

As one of the best players on the club and a clear leader of the team, it's not a surprise that Harden will have some say in the Rockets moves this offseason and how they build their team.

Celtics announce signings of first-round picks Marcus Smart and James Young.

Smart was taken with the 6th overall pick in the draft and is viewed by many to be the replacement to Rajon Rondo. Young was taken with the 17th overall pick and will likely fill a bench role from the small forward and shooting guard positions for the Celtics this season.

G. Reid - DB

STL

Rams officially report signings of CB Greg Reid and LB Etienne Sabino.

Reid has had a tumultuous path to the pros as he was kicked off the Florida State Seminoles team before he could play in his fourth and final year there, while playing out his final year of eligibility at a Division II school he tore his ACL that required a second surgery which caused him to miss the 2013 NFL Draft. Reid was on pace to break Deion Sanders school punt return record before being booted by the program, so there is some upside with Reid. Sabino is a second year UDFA who did play in a game with the Giants last year.

"That's kind of tough to do. You see a lot of the signings that are going on, so, of course, it's going to raise eyebrows on my behalf. Obviously, with a mid-market team, it's tougher for them, also. We're just going to have to see how everything goes."

G. Dragic - PG

MIA

Goran Dragic (foot) and Gabe Vincent (knee) are available to play in Saturday's game against the Nets.

Both should be in the same starting roles that they held in Friday's loss to the Raptors, with Dragic providing more in the way of fantasy value. What will impact Vincent is the recent play of Kendrick Nunn, who scored 22 points on Friday. Vincent is worth streaming in deeper leagues due to the absences of Tyler Herro and Jimmy Butler, but don't be surprised if a slow start results in his losing minutes to Nunn.

Ryan Saunders said that D'Angelo Russell's rest day on Saturday was pre-planned.

Russell's rest day came as a surprise considering the struggling Timberwolves are already without Karl Anthony-Towns (COVID-19). But Saunders clarified that this was planned because Russell's carrying a heavier workload this season. Fantasy managers shouldn't be alarmed.

M. Stafford - QB

DET

NFL Network's Tom Pelissero said the Lions and Matthew Stafford have agreed to part ways this offseason.

It appears the team won't fight to keep Stafford aboard for a full rebuild. Pelissero reports Stafford and the team made a mutual decision that the Lions would trade away their franchise QB this offseason after 12 seasons. QB-needy teams like the 49ers, Washington, Panthers, Colts, Jets, and Broncos will probably show interest in acquiring Stafford, though the Lions' price isn't known. Stafford has two years and $43 million left on his contract, "a bargain price for a quarterback who is still playing at a high level," Pelissero said. Stafford will be a marked upgrade for the pass catchers on whichever team he lands on this offseason. Detroit is (very) likely to use their No. 7 NFL draft pick to select Stafford's successor, and perhaps move up even further to secure one of the draft's top signal callers. The trade would likely happen before the fifth day of the 2021 league year in March, when Stafford is due a $10 million roster bonus.

D. Gallinari - PF

ATL

Danilo Gallinari (ankle) and Cam Reddish (knee) are not listed on the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Bucks.

What this means regarding minutes restrictions for either player is unknown, but the fact that neither Gallinari nor Reddish is listed is good news. Both came off the bench in Friday's win over the Timberwolves, with Gallinari playing 15 minutes and Reddish 24. They may be in line for slight increases Sunday, especially if De'Andre Hunter (right knee soreness) is unable to play. Hunter is listed as questionable.

D. Hunter - SF

ATL

De'Andre Hunter (right knee soreness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bucks.

Hunter has been dealing with the knee soreness for a little while now, but he was able to play 27 minutes in Friday's win over the Timberwolves. If he's unable to go Sunday night, Kevin Huerter would likely pick up more minutes, as both Danilo Gallinari (ankle) and Cam Reddish (knee) have been on minutes restrictions.

T. Young - PG

ATL

Trae Young is questionable to play on Sunday against the Bucks due to back spasms.

Young played through back tightness a week ago, but it seems to be bothering him again after a 43-point night on Friday. If he can't give it a go, expect Rajon Rondo to step up to replace him. Atlanta could also be without De'Andre Hunter (questionable; right knee) while Danilo Gallinari and Cam Reddish are both on minutes restrictions, so Kevin Huerter could wear several hats on Sunday, too.

C. Davis - G

World No. 217 Cameron Davis carded two eagles toward a 6-under-par 33-33=66 in the third round of The American Express for a 54-hole total of 12-under 204, up 18 spots to T8, two back of clubhouse leader and playing competitor Richy Werenski (65).

This is the Aussie's first time recording two eagles in a round in his 172 career lap and is currently three back of the leader on the course Max Homa. On seven (of 14) fairways and 14 greens in regulation, he lost 1.063 strokes off-the-tee but gained 2.979 approaching and 0.267 around-the-green. The 25-year-old hung up the two eagles at holes 8 (from 7'8") and 15 (hole-out from 158 yards away), four birdies at 5, 9, 11 and 17, taking some gloss off with two squares at 7 (watered tee ball) and 13. He registered 1.571 putts per GIR with 27 total putts, highlighted by a 36'5" bomb for birdie-3 at 9. This is Davis' third straight AmEx with two prior top 30s and a best of T28 on debut two tries ago in 2018 (67-70-67-69). His career-best finish among three top 10s in 56 events is T6 at this season's stand-alone Sanderson Farms five starts ago as a 54-hole tri-leader, highlighted by a career-low 63 in R3 (66-73-63-72).
