Jaleel McLaughlin Could Have Bigger Role

Denver Broncos running back Jaleel McLaughlin has reportedly looked more explosive during offseason workouts and mandatory minicamp. Offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi has praised McLaughlin for his speed and explosiveness. It certainly appears that McLaughlin could earn himself a bigger role next season. However, he still has to compete in a crowded backfield with Javonte Williams, […]

Demario Douglas Impressing This Spring

New England Patriots wide receiver Demario Douglas has reportedly looked like the best and most explosive playmaker this spring. The former sixth-round pick was impressive during his rookie season with the Pats last season. He finished with 49 receptions and lead the team with 561 receiving yards in 14 games. The Pats failed to add […]

Cole Hamels Officially Retires

After 15 seasons in Major League Baseball, left-hander Cole Hamels has decided to officially retire. The 40-year-old hasn't pitched in a MLB game since the 2020 season with the Atlanta Braves. Hamels made one appearance with Atlanta before suffering an injury that forced him to miss the rest of the season. He was a four-time […]

Will Smith Absent On Friday

Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Will Smith is out of the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. It's a bit odd to see Smith taking a seat against a left-handed starting pitcher. There was no reported injury and Smith did start in three of the four games of their series against […]

Luis Campusano Scratched On Friday

San Diego Padres catcher Luis Campusano has been scratched from the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers.

Washington Nationals shortstop CJ Abrams (wrist) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Colorado Rockies.

Charlie Blackmon Heads To Injured List

Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon (hamstring) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Friday. The veteran outfielder will miss some time after battling a lingering hamstring issue over the last week. This is bad timing with Blackmon hitting over .300 in the last two weeks. In a corresponding move, outfielder Sam Hilliard has […]

Jace Jung Placed On Injured List

Detroit Tigers infield prospect Jace Jung (wrist) has been placed on the seven-day injured list on Friday. This comes a day after Jung was scratched from Thursday's game due to wrist soreness. There was some speculation that Jung was getting called up, but in fact it was injury related. The 23-year-old will remain in Triple-A, […]

Marvin Harrison Jr. Has Been Early Standout

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. has been impressive throughout OTAs and mandatory minicamp. As expected, Harrison has emerged as the top option in the wide receiver room. This comes as no shock given his talent and the fact the Cardinals selected him as the 4th overall pick in this year's draft. The rookie […]

Tre Tucker Could See Increased Role

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker put together a fairly quiet rookie campaign, but could see a bigger role next season. Tucker is a bit undersized but Raiders' head coach Antonio Pierce doesn't care about his size and says everyone should watch Tucker play. Tucker finished with 19 receptions for 331 receiving yards and […]

Jalin Hyatt Adds Weight This Offseason

New York Giants wide receiver Jalin Hyatt has reportedly put on weight this offseason. The second-year wideout is listed as 185 pounds heading into camp.

The 21-year-old has been crushing everything lately […]

Bryce Harper Launches Two Homers

Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Bryce Harper came ready to play during Wednesday's game against the San Diego Padres. The superstar slugger went 2-for-4 with a pair of home runs during Wednesday's loss. Harper tied the game with a no-doubt blast in the third inning. Sadly, it wasn't enough as the Padres took the game 5-2 […]

Sean Murphy Blasts Two Home Runs

Atlanta Braves catcher Sean Murphy was seemingly the entire offense during Wednesday's game against the Detroit Tigers. The veteran catcher went 4-for-4 with a pair of two-run home runs in the 7-0 victory. Murphy was slumping at the plate, but four hits and four RBIs will certainly help that. He missed the first two months […]

Bryan Reynolds Blasts Go-Ahead Homer

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds came up clutch for his team during Wednesday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. The switch-hitter took right-hander Nick Martinez deep in the eighth inning to break the scoreless tie. His go-ahead blast ended up being the only score of the game.

Mitch Keller Tosses Seven Scoreless Innings

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Mitch Keller was impressive during Wednesday's matchup against the Cincinnati Reds. The right-hander struck out seven batters over seven scoreless innings of work during Wednesday's victory. Keller allowed only two hits and a pair of walks in what ended up being a no-decision for him. The 28-year-old has surrendered three earned […]

Hunter Greene Records Nine Strikeouts

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Hunter Greene looked seemingly unhittable during Wednesday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The right-hander matched a season-high nine strikeouts over 6 1/3 shutout innings during Wednesday's loss. Greene was given a no-decision as neither side scored a run until he was out of the game. The Pirates had no answers for […]

Yordan Alvarez Remains Out On Wednesday

Houston Astros designated hitter Yordan Alvarez (personal) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Chicago White Sox. The veteran slugger will miss back-to-back games due to a family matter. The details of the situation are unknown, but hopefully Alvarez will be able to return soon. In the meantime, Yainer Diaz […]

William Contreras Returns To The Lineup

Milwaukee Brewers catcher William Contreras (head) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. The young slugger is returning to action following a one-game absence after a scary-looking collision at home plate. The 26-year-old has been cleared for a possible concussion and is ready to play again. He'll […]

Mike Trout Remains Without A Timetable

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (knee) doesn't appear to be any closer to making a return to the field. The superstar outfielder told reporters on Tuesday that he hasn't resumed running and remains without a timetable. Trout mentioned that his recovery from last month's surgery is progressing slower than he wants. The 32-year-old is […]

Chris Martin Activated From Injured List

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Chris Martin (personal) has been activated off the 15-day injured list on Tuesday. The right-hander will make his return to the bullpen after missing two weeks of action due to anxiety. This season, Martin holds a 4.22 ERA, 1.08 WHIP, and 24/2 K/BB ratio across 21 appearances. The assumption is […]

Luis Rengifo Returning On Tuesday

Los Angeles Angels infielder Luis Rengifo (wrist) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers.

He'll cover third base and bat second versus […]

Yordan Alvarez Resting On Tuesday

Houston Astros outfielder/designated hitter Yordan Alvarez is absent from the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Chicago White Sox. Fantasy managers don't need to panic as this appears to be a routine rest day for Alvarez. The 26-year-old slugger has mashed 14 home runs with an outstanding .873 OPS through 71 games. Yainer […]

Masyn Winn Scratched On Tuesday

St. Louis Cardinals shortstop Masyn Winn (illness) has been scratched from the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Miami Marlins. Winn has been hot at the plate lately and he delivered the go-ahead home run on Monday. Fantasy managers shouldn't need to worry as this appears to be a minor issue. Brendan Donovan […]

Luis Perales To Undergo Tommy John Surgery

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Luis Perales (elbow) is scheduled to undergo season-ending Tommy John surgery. The right-hander was removed from his start in early June due to right elbow inflammation. Perales underwent further testing which revealed he needed to undergo surgery. This is a shame considering the 21-year-old is one of the top pitching […]

Mike Clevinger Making Rehab Start On Tuesday

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Mike Clevinger (elbow) is scheduled to make a minor-league rehab start at Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday.

Corbin Carroll Expected To Play On Tuesday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll (ribs) is expected to return to the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Washington Nationals. D-Backs manager Torey Lovullo said Carroll is penciled into the lineup, so it sounds like it was a minor issue. Carroll underwent an MRI on his side, which came back clean without any structural […]
