O'Hearn doesn't offer much […]

Detroit Tigers outfielder Riley Greene (elbow) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Saturday. The 22-year-old suffered a right elbow injury while making a catch in the outfield during Friday's contest.

Brandon Williamson Won't Pitch On Sunday

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Brandon Williamson won't make his scheduled start on Sunday due to COVID-19, according to manager David Bell. The team hasn't officially placed Williamson on the injured list, but that will likely happen soon. This is bad timing considering Williamson has been a key piece to the starting rotation this season. The […]

Emmet Sheehan Named Saturday's Starter

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Emmet Sheehan has been recalled and will make the start against the Atlanta Braves on Saturday. The Dodgers will use this chance to give their starting pitchers an extra day of rest. This is something that the Dodgers might do more often down the stretch of the season. Fantasy managers […]

New York Yankees outfielder Jasson Dominguez has already moved up in the order after batting fifth in his MLB debut on Friday.

[…]

Gleyber Torres Remains Out On Saturday

New York Yankees infielder Gleyber Torres (back) remains out of Saturday's starting lineup versus the Houston Astros. The 26-year-old was scratched on Friday due to a back issue.

Javier Baez Returns To The Lineup On Saturday

Detroit Tigers shortstop Javier Baez is back in Saturday's starting lineup versus the Chicago White Sox. The right-handed slugger is back in the lineup after missing each of the last three games.

Graham Ashcraft Likely Headed To Injured List

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Graham Ashcraft (toe) is likely to require a trip to the injured list, according to manager David Bell. The right-hander pitched through toe soreness during Monday's game against the Chicago Cubs. It appears the Reds have decided to give the 25-year-old some extra time off to rest and recover. The team […]

At the moment, it's uncertain if […]

Chas McCormick On The Bench Friday

Houston Astros outfielder Chas McCormick is out of Friday's starting lineup against the New York Yankees. Fantasy managers don't need to worry as this appears to be a routine rest day for McCormick. He'll head to the bench after going 2-for-9 with two RBI during their last series. Jake Meyers will cover center field and […]

Houston Astros outfielder Michael Brantley is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the New York Yankees.

San Francisco Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford (forearm) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Friday. The veteran infielder has been sidelined since August 20 due to a forearm strain.

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Austin Gomber (back) is set to miss his next scheduled start versus the Toronto Blue Jays on Sunday. The left-hander was pulled early during his last start on Monday due to back tightness. The Rockies are hopeful that Gomber is able to avoid the injured list. The southpaw has struggled with […]

Tyrion Davis-Price Earns Roster Spot

San Francisco 49ers running back Tyrion Davis-Price has earned himself a spot on the 53-man roster. The former third-round pick is coming off a disappointing rookie campaign. He rushed 34 times for 99 yards and was held without a touchdown in six games with the 49ers last season. He's expected to be a depth option […]

Joe Burrow Could Be Limited In Week 1

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (calf) has been dealing with a lingering injury, but was able to return to the practice field this week.

Sean Tucker Makes 53-Man Roster

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Sean Tucker has earned a spot on the team's 53-man roster. The undrafted back was impressive during training camp and throughout the preseason. Tucker is joined by Rachaad White, Chase Edmonds, and Ke'Shawn Vaughn in the backfield. It's one of the weaker running back rooms in the NFL, which is […]

Zach Evans Makes Initial Roster

Los Angeles Rams running back Zach Evans appears to have a spot on the 53-man roster. The rookie is one of four backs to make the opening week roster. However, Cam Akers and Kyren Williams appear to have the first two spots on the depth chart locked up. That means, Evans will be competing with […]

Mike Evans Gives Contract Extension Deadline

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans continues to discuss a possible long term extension with the organization. However, the 30-year-old doesn't want this to be a distraction for him during the season. That being said, Evans has given the team until September 9th to finalize an extension. It's uncertain if the Bucs organization really […]

Pierre Strong Jr. Could Have Role Early On

Cleveland Browns running back Pierre Strong Jr. could have a role right away with his new organization. The 24-year-old was acquired from the New England Patriots on Sunday. Strong will join Nick Chubb and Jerome Ford as the trio in the backfield to begin the regular season. It's worth noting that Ford has been banged […]

The Arizona Cardinals have signed running back Corey Clement to their practice squad. The 28-year-old was cut by the team on Tuesday after failing to make the 53-man roster. Despite that, Clement will be back with the team, but won't have a role right away. The Cardinals will stash him on the practice squad as […]

Jerome Ford Returns To Practice

Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford (hamstring) was able to get back on the practice field on Thursday. The 23-year-old has been banged up lately due to a lingering hamstring issue.

Jeff Wilson Jr. Expected To Return In Week 5

Miami Dolphins running back Jeff Wilson Jr. (finger, rib) was placed on the injured reserve on Thursday. The 27-year-old is dealing with multiple injuries that are going to force him to miss the first four weeks of the regular season. However, Wilson's agent expects Wilson to return ahead of the Week 5 matchup against the […]

Patriots Sign Jalen Reagor

The New England Patriots have signed wide receiver Jalen Reagor to their practice squad. Reagor was waived by the Minnesota Vikings earlier this week. The 24-year-old has failed to live up to the hype of being drafted 21st overall by the Philadelphia Eagles in 2020. Last season, he finished with eight receptions for 104 yards […]

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Joe Kelly (forearm) is set to throw a bullpen session on Friday. The right-hander has been out for over two weeks while battling forearm discomfort.

Arizona Diamondbacks relief pitcher Mark Melancon (shoulder) is beginning to throw bullpen sessions to help build up his arm strength. The 38-year-old started his throwing program back in late-May. However, he recently was cleared to begin doing bullpen sessions. The veteran reliever has been out all season due to a lingering shoulder issue. At this […]

Jesus Luzardo Looks Fantastic On Wednesday

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Jesus Luzardo was impressive on the mound during Wednesday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. The left-hander threw six scoreless innings, allowing only one hit and walked two batters. Sadly, Luzardo was handed a no-decision after his offense didn't give him any run support. He'll take his 3.62 ERA, 1.22 WHIP, […]

J.D. Martinez Resumes Swinging A Bat

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder J.D. Martinez (groin) appears to be making progress after landing on the injured list earlier this month. The veteran outfielder has resumed swinging a bat on Wednesday. Now, the plan is for Martinez to take live batting practice on Thursday before heading out on a rehab assignment. The hope is that […]

Ryan Pressly Secures 29th Save

Houston Astros relief pitcher Ryan Pressly has been one of the more reliable closers throughout this season. The 34-year-old was called upon to protect a three-run lead versus the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday. He allowed a two-out single to Triston Casas, but was able to get out of the inning without any damage. The […]

Bryce Harper Blasts 300th Career Home Run

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper achieved a significant accolade during Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Angels.
