Diontae Johnson Unavailable On Saturday

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Diontae Johnson (groin) isn't expected to suit up for Saturday's preseason game against the New York Jets. This doesn't come as much of a surprise considering Johnson has missed the last two practices. He continues to deal with a strained groin that hopefully won't be something that lingers into the regular […]

Aaron Rodgers Unavailable For Saturday

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers won't suit up during Saturday's second preseason contest against the Carolina Panthers. It appears the Jets plan to rest a majority of their starters on Saturday. The team is reportedly resting 32 players, which includes most of their key starters. Second string quarterback Tyrod Taylor will dress but will […]

Bryce Young To Miss Second Preseason Contest

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young will remain on the bench for Saturday's preseason matchup against the New York Jets. New head coach Dave Canales will give most of his starters the night off during this exhibition contest. There doesn't appear to be anything wrong with Young, but the Panthers don't want to risk an injury […]

Bobby Miller Could Be Used In Bullpen

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Bobby Miller is expected to rejoin the big league roster on Saturday, according to manager Dave Roberts. The 26-year-old was optioned to the minors about a month ago to work on his mechanics but he was also dealing with a groin issue. The plan is for Tyler Glasnow to take the […]

Ryne Nelson Getting Starting Nod

Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Ryne Nelson will get the starting nod against the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday. Manager Torey Lovullo said earlier in the week that Nelson would be available out of the bullpen. The D-Backs didn't use him out of the pen which made him available to pitch in this game. Nelson allowed two […]

Jorge Soler Remains Sidelined

Atlanta Braves outfielder Jorge Soler (hamstring) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. The veteran slugger suffered a left hamstring strain during Wednesday's contest. He hasn't played since then, but the Braves don't believe Soler will require a trip to the injured list. For now, fantasy managers […]

Brandon Drury Absent On Friday

Los Angeles Angels infielder Brandon Drury is out of the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Atlanta Braves. Drury has been awful with the bat since the All-Star break. He's hitting .127 with four RBI since the break, so it's not shocking to see him sitting for a second straight game. As a […]

Nick Sogard Returning To The Lineup

Boston Red Sox infielder Nick Sogard (calf) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. Sogard was pulled from Wednesday's game due to calf soreness and sat out of Thursday's contest as a result. He'll cover second base and bat seventh versus right-hander Corbin Burnes. Sogard is slashing .250/.311/.275 […]

Niko Kavadas Batting Cleanup In Debut

Los Angeles Angels first baseman Niko Kavadas will be making his MLB debut against the Atlanta Braves on Friday. The 25-year-old put together fairly strong numbers during his time in Triple-A. He was slashing .264/.400/.521 with 19 home runs and 67 RBI in the minors before getting called up. Kavadas figures to get regular playing […]

Chase Claypool Released By Bills

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Chase Claypool (toe) has been released by the organization. This news doesn't come as a huge surprise after Claypool was placed on season-ending Injured Reserve earlier this week due to a toe injury. The 26-year-old put together two solid seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers to begin his career. Since then, Claypool […]

Dak Prescott Making Progress In Contract Talks

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is entering the final year of his contract with the organization. The two sides have reportedly had good conversation about a long term extension. The good news for Cowboys fans is that Prescott appears willing to play through the final year of his deal. The same cannot be said about […]

Nate Wiggins Back At Practice

Baltimore Ravens rookie first-round defensive back Nate Wiggins (shoulder) returned to the practice field on Thursday. This is good news after Wiggins suffered a shoulder injury during the preseason opener against the Philadelphia Eagles. The organization was concerned about the injury, but further testing determined there was no serious damage to his shoulder. That being […]

Zach Ertz Won't Play On Saturday

Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz was not seen at practice and won't be available for the upcoming preseason matchup against the Miami Dolphins. Fantasy managers don't need to worry as his absence isn't injury related. Head coach Dan Quinn confirmed that Ertz is fine and is away from the team for personal reasons. Quinn […]

Tyrone Tracy Jr. Making Progress

New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. (ankle) appears to be in good shape after his incident a few days ago. The rookie back was carted off the field during Tuesday's practice due to an ankle injury. Now, Tracy was seen running and cutting on the field with the training staff on Thursday. This […]

Baker Mayfield Sitting For Second Preseason Game

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield will head to the bench for Saturday's preseason game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. It sounds like the Bucs are going with the same strategy as last week. That means most of the starters are going to sit including Mayfield for the second straight week. It'll be Kyle Trask and […]

Matthew Stafford Absent During Walkthrough

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford (hamstring) wasn't present during Thursday's walkthrough. This isn't shocking news after Stafford exited early during Wednesday's practice due to hamstring tightness. Head coach Sean McVay said Stafford was removed for precautionary reasons. He added that Stafford should return to practice at some point next week. This sounds like a […]

Jordan Addison Avoids Serious Injury

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison (ankle) appears to have avoided a serious injury after exiting Wednesday's training camp practice. It has been an awful couple of days for the Vikings organization. However, there is somewhat good news regarding the status of Addison. Head coach Kevin O'Connell says that Addison has avoided a major ankle […]

Justin Simmons Signing With Falcons

The Atlanta Falcons are signing free-agent safety Justin Simmons to a one-year deal. It has been a wild 24 hours for the Falcons. They traded for frustrated pass-rusher Matthew Judon from the New England Patriots. Now, they make another upgrade on defense by adding two-time Pro Bowler Simmons into the mix. It'll be a one-year […]

Russell Wilson To Start On Saturday

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson (calf) will be under center during Saturday's preseason matchup against the Buffalo Bills. Head coach Mike Tomlin said Wilson will participate in the game as long as he doesn't suffer a setback. The veteran signal-caller has been dealing with a lingering calf issue in camp. Fantasy managers shouldn't worry as […]

Zach Neto Taking A Seat On Wednesday

Los Angeles Angels shortstop Zach Neto will head to the bench ahead of Wednesday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. This appears to be a routine rest day for Neto who has been on fire at the plate. He's hitting nearly .350 with six home runs and 22 RBI over his last 30 games. In […]

Will Warren Recalled, Starting On Wednesday

New York Yankees starting pitcher Will Warren has been recalled to take the mound against the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday. This appears to be a spot start for Warren, so fantasy managers looking for long term help aren't likely going to get it here. Warren has allowed 12 earned runs over two starts with […]

Walker Buehler Activated From Injured List

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Walker Buehler (hip) has been activated from the 15-day injured list on Wednesday. The 30-year-old is finally back after being sidelined since the middle of June due to a hip issue. Buehler will get the ball against the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday. Before going down, Buehler had a 5.84 ERA, […]

Giancarlo Stanton Gets A Breather

New York Yankees designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton is out of the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Chicago White Sox. The veteran slugger will get a routine rest day after going 1-for-8 over the last two games. The 34-year-old is unlikely to ever get back to his All-Star form, but he at least […]

Javier Baez Scratched On Wednesday

Detroit Tigers shortstop Javier Baez has been scratched from the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Seattle Mariners. The organization has not said why Baez has been pulled from the lineup yet. Regardless, his absence from the lineup won't matter much considering Baez has been awful this season. Zach McKinstry will take over […]

Lourdes Gurriel Jr. Returning On Tuesday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. (hamstring) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Colorado Rockies. The 30-year-old made an early exit on Sunday due to hamstring tightness. Luckily, Gurriel was only forced to miss one game as sometimes hamstring issues can linger for a few weeks. Gurriel is expected […]

Eloy Jimenez Gets Breather

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Eloy Jimenez is out of the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Washington Nationals. The O's have decided to give the oft-injured slugger the day off after he started in four straight games. Jimenez is off to a hot start with his new team. He's 12-for-24 with four RBI in […]

Jazz Chisholm Jr. Likely Headed To Injured List

New York Yankees infielder/outfielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. (elbow) is expected to be placed on the injured list, according to manager Aaron Boone. This is not the news fantasy managers wanted to hear right now. Chisholm was off to an excellent start with the Bronx Bombers. He was hitting over .300 with seven home runs and […]

Logan O'Hoppe Back In The Lineup

Los Angeles Angels catcher Logan O'Hoppe (knee) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. This is good news for fantasy managers after O'Hoppe was forced to exit early on Monday due to a knee issue. It's nice to see O'Hoppe back in the lineup as sometimes knee […]

Manny Machado Returns To The Lineup

San Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado is back in the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The All-Star slugger will return to the hot corner after getting a rest day on Monday. His return will send Donovan Solano back to the bench. Machado didn't have the ideal first half of […]

Bradley Blalock Recalled, Starting On Monday

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Bradley Blalock has been recalled from Double-A to make his first career start against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Blalock was acquired by the team a few weeks ago as part of a deal for right-hander Nick Mears. Blalock had a 4.36 ERA and 1.32 WHIP across 18 starts in Double-A this season. […]
