Drew Smyly Expected To Rejoin Starting Rotation

Chicago Cubs pitcher Drew Smyly is likely to rejoin the starting rotation, according to manager David Ross. The Cubs are expected to be without Marcus Stroman (ribs) for the foreseeable future.

Javelin Guidry Expected To Need Surgery

New York Jets defensive back Javelin Guidry (knee) was hurt during joint practice on Wednesday. The expectation is that the 25-year-old is going to require knee surgery. That being said, Guidry is likely to land on the injured reserve, which would end his season. It's a shame considering Guidry was putting together a solid training […]

Jaire Alexander Participates In Drills

Green Bay Packers defensive back Jaire Alexander (foot) was able to line up with the starting defense during Wednesday's practice. He went and did individual drills afterwards, but it was good to see him back at practice. This is good news after Alexander missed the first preseason game due to injury. It sounds like he's […]

Micah Parsons Back To Full Strength

Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons (leg) was back in full pads for the beginning of Wednesday's practice. This is good news after Parsons was forced to exit early on Tuesday due to a leg issue. Parsons needed to get his leg wrapped after getting kicked accidentally. However, it appears that this was only a minor […]

Edouard Julien Out On Tuesday

Minnesota Twins second baseman Edouard Julien (hamstring) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Detroit Tigers. It appears the 24-year-old is dealing with a hamstring issue, so the Twins will hold him out of the lineup. It's also worth noting that Julien is in a 1-for-16 slump, which could be part […]

Byron Buxton Will Require Rehab Assignment

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton (hamstring) was placed on the injured list in early August due to a lingering hamstring issue.

[…]

The 33-year-old makes his return to the lineup after missing each of the last two games due to back tightness. Luckily, it appears to be a minor issue that won't require a trip to […]

Trent Grisham Sitting Out On Tuesday

San Diego Padres outfielder Trent Grisham is absent from Tuesday's starting lineup versus the Baltimore Orioles. Normally, Grisham is in there against right-handed starters, but it appears he'll get a rest day here. Instead, Ben Gamel will cover right field and bat ninth versus right-hander Jack Flaherty. Fantasy managers should adjust their lineups accordingly with […]

Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden recently said that Daryl Morey is a liar and that he will not be part of any organization associated with Morey.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp (hamstring) is unlikely to participate in joint practices this week, according to head coach Sean McVay.

The Atlanta Falcons have waived linebacker Mykal Walker on Sunday. The team originally selected Walker in the fourth round of the 2020 draft. Walker recorded 107 tackles, one sack, and two interceptions in 16 games (12 starts) for the Falcons last season. It's a bit odd to see the Falcons moving on from Walker who […]

Trevor May Struggles Versus Nationals

Oakland Athletics right-hander Trevor May was given the ball with a four-run lead during Sunday's game against the Washington Nationals. The right-hander proceeded to allow five runs (three earned) on three hits and two walks. It didn't help that the defense only made mistakes as well, but May wasn't helping himself on the mound. The […]

Carlos Estevez Records 25th Save

The […]

Washington Nationals shortstop CJ Abrams (back) was forced to exit early during Sunday's game against the Oakland Athletics. The 22-year-old was pulled out of the contest due to back spasms.

After that, Mixon returned and scored on a red zone play. It's […]
