Tarasov was reassigned to AHL Cleveland on Wednesday. Tarasov went 2-2-0 with a 6.09 GAA and .840 save percentage in four appearances during this recent NHL stint. The demotion of Tarasov likely indicates that Elvis Merzlikins (personal) will be rejoining the team ahead of Friday's matchup with the Islanders.

Nelson (undisclosed) was injured in the first period of Tuesday's game versus the Maple Leafs, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports. Nelson went down hard in the corner after a hit and needed help to get to the locker room, though he was able to skate off under his own power. An update on the 31-year-old's status should surface before Friday's game in Columbus.

Tampa, FL

Vasilevskiy turned aside 17 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Canadiens. The All-Star goalie gave up two tallies in the first period, looking a bit shaky on the first one, and the Lightning were never able to climb out of the early hole. Vasilevskiy continues to struggle in March, going 3-4-2 in nine starts with a 3.42 GAA and .883 save percentage, and while he's capable of flipping the switch once the playoffs start, it's an ominous sign for Tampa Bay's chances of making a deep run.

Eaton is batting .357 (10-for-28) over 12 Cactus League games. Eaton has played regularly this spring and it looks like he's ready to handle a starting role. With Drew Waters (oblique) likely out to begin the season, Eaton should have a chance to establish himself, likely as the Royals' primary left fielder. The 26-year-old also has some experience in the infield, so he could be a utility option later in the campaign if he doesn't maintain a starting role. His primarily appeal in fantasy is his speed -- he had 11 stolen bases in 44 major-league games as a rookie last season.

Baltimore, MD

As he often does on the football field, Lamar Jackson is going on the offensive with regard to his ongoing contract situation. With Jackson and the Ravens still at a stalemate, a representative for the former league MVP has begun contacting teams in an effort to create a possible landing spot for the quarterback, according to Pro Football Talk, and telling them he's ready to move on from Baltimore.

Minnesota transferred Ryan to the G League's Iowa Wolves on Wednesday. Ryan made one appearance during his latest NBA stint, totaling just one rebound in three minutes. He figures to see extended playing time while with Iowa.

Buffalo, NY

Luukkonen stopped the six shots he faced in relief in Tuesday's 7-3 loss to Nashville. Luukkonen entered the contest in the second period after Craig Anderson surrendered six goals on 20 shots. The Sabres were down 6-1 when Luukkonen entered the game, so he ultimately wasn't charged with the loss. Nashville's final goal was scored on an empty net. The 24-year-old has a 15-11-4 record, 3.59 GAA and .891 save percentage in 31 appearances this season. If nothing else, Tuesday's stint in net was a way for the goaltender to put some distance between him and his disastrous 7-0 loss to Boston on Sunday in which he made just 18 saves.

Kevin Garnett has never been known as the forgiving type. He still has not allowed his jersey to be retired by the Minnesota Timberwolves due to a longstanding feud with their outgoing owner, Glen Taylor, and that isn't even his most famous beef. That honor belongs to former teammate Ray Allen.

Green (knee) is probable for Wednesday's game against the 76ers. Green saw nine minutes off the bench in his return from a lengthy absence Monday, and he'll likely see a similar workload Wednesday as he's eased back into the rotation. He's safe to leave on the waiver wire in most formats.

Bulls' Javonte Green: Probable for Wednesday

Atlanta, GA

Martin produced 15 points (4-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 15 rebounds and three assists in 31 minutes during Tuesday's 111-104 loss to the Raptors 905. Martin struggled mightily from the field but still scored in double figures and grabbed a game-high 15 rebounds en route to his 13th double-double. Across 29 appearances, he's averaging 18.6 points and 8.9 rebounds in 32.9 minutes per game.

Antetokounmpo isn't with the team and won't suit up Wednesday against the Spurs. Antetokounmpo isn't a regular part of the rotation, so his absence shouldn't impact fantasy hoops, but his next chance to don the uniform arrives Friday as the Bucks embark on a four-game road trip beginning in Salt Lake City.

Seattle, WA

Kelenic was lifted from Monday's Cactus League contest versus the Brewers with a possible injury, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports. It's unclear what he's dealing with, but Kelenic was pinch-hit for in the third inning, indicating it's likely injury-related. He's been a standout this spring, batting .410 with four home runs and three stolen bases.

Mariners' Jarred Kelenic: Removed from Monday's game

Saint Louis, MO

DeJong (back) said Monday that he expects to begin the season on the injured list, Ben Frederickson of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. DeJong had been slated to return to Grapefruit League play in the designated hitter spot Tuesday, but he had a setback with his lower-back injury while fielding grounders Monday. He doesn't expect to be able to get into another spring game, so being ready for Opening Day isn't realistic. With DeJong out, the Cardinals could consider carrying Taylor Motter as a backup at shortstop behind Tommy Edman.

Florida State

Cardinals manager Oli Marmol told reporters after Tuesday's game that Suarez has a chance to make the Opening Day roster after a strong showing in spring training, John Denton of MLB.com reports. Suarez threw 1.1 innings of scoreless baseball during Tuesday's Grapefruit League appearance, and he hasn't given up a...

We still don't know for sure that Aaron Rodgers will be the QB for the Jets in 2023, but we know one player who won't be catching passes from him, as the Jets traded wide receiver Elijah Moore to the Browns Wednesday. That deal netted the Jets the 42nd pick in the upcoming NFL Draft, with the Browns also landing the 74th pick in return.

Fantasy Football: Elijah Moore trade clears a path to a breakout, but questions still remain

Liberatore was optioned to Triple-A Memphis by the Cardinals on Tuesday. St. Louis has enjoyed a fairly healthy spring, which means that Liberatore will head back to the minors to work on his craft. Adam Wainwright, Miles Mikolas, Jordan Montgomery, Jack Flaherty and Steven Matz will make up the season-opening starting rotation for the reigning NL Central champs.

Houston, TX

Washington logged 26 points (8-23 FG, 2-11 3Pt, 8-8 FT), six rebounds, five assists and one steal across 36 minutes during the Vipers' 126-119 loss to Santa Cruz on Tuesday. Despite recently battling migraines, Washington was able to play and be the Vipers' best scorer Tuesday. While part of their roster, he is expected to lead them until Houston promotes him again. As of Tuesday, Washington is averaging 26.5 points across six G League games.
