Dustin May Headed to Boston

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Dustin May was traded to the Boston Red Sox on Thursday. In exchange, the Dodgers will receive 2024 first-round pick James Tibbs III who was acquired in the Rafael Devers deal. May posted a 4.85 ERA, 1.35 WHIP, and a 97/43 K/BB ratio across 19 appearances with the Dodgers this […]

Bailey Falter Traded to Royals

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Bailey Falter was traded to the Kansas City Royals on Thursday. This isn't a blockbuster move, but Falter does add solid depth to the Royals rotation. The southpaw currently holds a 3.73 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, and a 70/39 K/BB ratio across 22 starts this season. Falter has been hot recently, allowing […]

Kenneth Walker III Likely to See Heavy Workload

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III has been a stud when healthy. However, the biggest problem has been keeping Walker on the field. He missed six games last year and only played 15 games in each of his first two seasons. The good news is, Walker is healthy coming into camp and has looked […]

Brenton Strange Getting TE1 Reps

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Brenton Strange is currently operating as the starter in this offense. The Jags don't have a ton of viable options at tight end right now after the departure of Evan Engram this offseason. It's also worth noting that the Jags have a few tight ends banged up, so Strange has stepped […]

Keaton Mitchell Looks Explosive in Practice

Baltimore Ravens running back Keaton Mitchell is unlikely to move very far up the depth chart during training camp. Recently, Ravens' offensive coordinator Todd Monken said Mitchell would be fighting for touches as the third back. He's not wrong as Derrick Henry is going to be the workhorse back with Justice Hill being able to […]

Colston Loveland Impressing Coaching Staff

Chicago Bears tight end Colston Loveland has been making a big splash in training camp. The first-round rookie took first-team reps during Tuesday's 11-on-11 drills. Loveland has been impressive not just on the field, but off the field as well. Recently, head coach Ben Johnson praised Loveland by saying he's thinking more like a quarterback, […]

Caleb Ferguson Headed to Seattle

Pittsburgh Pirates relief pitcher Caleb Ferguson was traded to the Seattle Mariners on Wednesday. This is a nice under-the-radar move for Seattle to add extra depth to their bullpen. Ferguson holds a 3.74 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, and 34/14 K/BB ratio across 45 appearances with the Pirates this season. He figures to pitch in a setup […]

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Blake Snell (shoulder) will come off the 60-day injured list and start against the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. has been one of the hottest names during the upcoming trade deadline.

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Aroldis Chapman (back) is available to pitch out of the bullpen ahead of Tuesday's game against the Minnesota Twins, according to manager Alex Cora.

Byron Buxton Placed on 10-Day Injured List

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton (rib) was placed on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to July 27. This move comes after Buxton was forced to exit early during Saturday's game due to a ribcage issue. He'll officially hit the shelf due to left rib cartilage irritation. This is a shame considering Buxton was actually doing […]

Tanner Scott Begins Throwing Progression

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Tanner Scott (elbow) began a throwing progression on Tuesday, according to manager Dave Roberts. This is a positive step forward for Scott who is working his way back from an elbow inflammation issue. The expectation is that Scott is going to need at least a few weeks to ramp up […]

Aaron Judge Hopeful to Return in Early August

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (elbow) landed on the 10-day injured list over the weekend. This is obviously a tough blow to the Yankees, but the organization is hopeful that it'll be a short stint on the shelf. Yankees' manager Aaron Boone said on Tuesday that Judge should ramp up his activities soon and […]

Ryan Helsley Drawing Interest From Blue Jays

St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher Ryan Helsley has been a hot name ahead of this Thursday's trade deadline. The two-time All-Star is on an expiring deal and could be a legitimate back-end bullpen option for many contending teams. This season, Helsley holds a 3.00 ERA, 1.38 WHIP, and a 41/14 K/BB ratio with 21 saves […]

Salvador Perez Returning on Tuesday

Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez (elbow) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Braves.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (head) remains out of the starting lineup for both games of Tuesday's doubleheader versus the Baltimore Orioles.

Kris Bubic Done for the Season

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Kris Bubic (shoulder) will miss the rest of the regular season, according to manager Matt Quatraro. Bubic was placed on the 15-day injured list after being diagnosed with a left rotator cuff strain on Sunday. Sadly, there isn't enough time for Bubic to heal up and return to the mound […]

Danny Jansen Traded to Brewers

Tampa Bay Rays catcher Danny Jansen was traded to the Milwaukee Brewers on Monday. In exchange, the Rays will receive infielder Jadher Areinamo from Milwaukee. Areinamo is ranked No. 24 in the Brewers farm system, so not a bad deal for Jansen who is on an expiring deal. This deal gives the Brewers more depth […]

Jed Hoyer Receives Extension From Cubs

The Chicago Cubs have agreed on a multi-year extension with president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer on Monday. The exact details of the deal weren't announced, but Hoyer was in his final year of his five-year deal before signing this new contract.

Max Muncy Starting Rehab Assignment on Tuesday

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy (knee) is scheduled to begin a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday.

Houston Astros shortstop Jeremy Pena (ribs) was able to do a workout with the team ahead of Monday's game against the Washington Nationals.

Reese Olson Out for Rest of Regular Season

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Reese Olson (shoulder) was placed on the 60-day injured list on Monday. This move means Olson will be sidelined at least through the rest of the regular season. It is possible that Olson makes a return for the postseason, but he can safely be dropped in fantasy formats. Olson didn't appear […]

Luis Robert Jr. Avoids Significant Injury

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. (forearm) appears to have avoided any major injuries after getting hit by a pitch during Sunday's game against the Chicago Cubs. Robert made his return to the lineup on Sunday after missing the two previous games due to a groin issue. He took a fastball off the forearm […]

Erick Fedde Traded to Braves

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Erick Fedde was traded to the Atlanta Braves on Sunday. This comes a few days after Fedde was designated for assignment by the Cardinals. After a solid season in 2024, Fedde completely fell apart on the mound this season. He holds a 5.22 ERA, 1.50 WHIP, and a 63/47 K/BB […]

Braden Montgomery Promoted to Double-A

Chicago White Sox outfielder Braden Montgomery was promoted to Double-A Birmingham on Sunday. This didn't take long as Montgomery earned a promotion from Single-A in less than one season of pro ball. Montgomery slashed .269/.358/.455 with 11 home runs, 57 RBI, and 11 stolen bases in 87 games in Single-A this season. Montgomery was a […]

Aroldis Chapman Dealing with Back Tightness

According to Christopher Smith, Chapman was removed […]

Byron Buxton Considered Day-to-Day
