Marcus Stroman Struggles In Return

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Marcus Stroman took the mound for the first time on Saturday since being placed on the injured list. The right-hander didn't look too sharp versus the Colorado Rockies on Saturday. Stroman only lasted three innings, while allowing three runs in what ended up being a win for the Cubs. Luckily, Javier […]

Jose Cuas Records First Save

Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Jose Cuas was called upon to shut the door versus the Colorado Rockies on Saturday. The right-hander was asked to protect a three-run lead in the ninth, which was surprising considering he has mainly been pitching in the sixth and seventh inning. Despite that, Cuas threw a scoreless ninth inning to […]

Chris Paddack Could Return On Sunday

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Chris Paddack (elbow) could rejoin the big league roster as early as Sunday. The right-hander has been sidelined all season while he recovers from Tommy John surgery. It appears the 27-year-old is nearly ready to return after making three rehab appearances. During that span, Paddack registered a 3.72 ERA, 1.14 WHIP, […]

Mike Yastrzemski On The Bench Versus Southpaw

San Francisco Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Giants will play matchups here with left-hander Clayton Kershaw on the mound. That being said, Joc Pederson and Michael Conforto will join Yastrzemski on the bench for Saturday's game. Austin Slater, Tyler Fitzgerald and […]

Tyler Anderson Done For The Season

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Tyler Anderson (knee) has been placed on the 15-day injured list on Saturday. The left-hander originally had his start pushed back and was supposed to start on Sunday. That won't happen as Anderson will be shut down for the rest of the season. He'll finish the season with a 5.43 […]

Will Smith Gets Saturday Off

Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Will Smith is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the San Francisco Giants. The Dodgers have gone with the plan of starting Smith twice followed by Austin Barnes once for about a month. That being said, this appears to be a routine rest day for Smith. The expectation […]

Ryan Mountcastle Hopeful To Return Soon

Baltimore Orioles first baseman Ryan Mountcastle (shoulder) was placed on the injured list on Wednesday, retroactive September 17. This is a tough blow to the O's roster that is heading towards the postseason. Luckily, Orioles' manager Brandon Hyde said on Saturday that he believes Mountcastle's injured list stint will be minimal. Mountcastle was able to […]

Eury Perez Placed On Injured List

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Eury Perez (back) is being placed on the 15-day injured list, retroactive September 21. The right-hander will go down with one week left in the regular season due to SI joint inflammation.

Michael Brantley To Miss Fifth Straight Game

Houston Astros outfielder Michael Brantley (general soreness) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Kansas City Royals. This marks the fifth game in a row that Brantley has sat out due to what the team is calling general soreness. The veteran outfielder has been banged up most of the season as […]

Austin Hays To Sit Out On Saturday

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Austin Hays is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Cleveland Guardians. This appears to be a routine rest day for the 28-year-old. Hays is 0-for-10 with four strikeouts over his last three games, so he could use some rest. Aaron Hicks will take over left field and bat […]

Joe Musgrove Resumes Throwing

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Joe Musgrove (shoulder) resumed his throwing program on Friday. The right-hander was eased off his throwing sessions in mid-September. However, they've decided to ramp it back up with the Padres pulling within four games of the NL Wild Card. There is only a week left in the regular season, but […]

Eddie Jackson Doubtful For Week 3

Chicago Bears safety Eddie Jackson (foot) was carted off the field in Week 2 and continues to miss practice this week. The superstar safety missed Friday's practice, which puts his status in doubt for the Week 3 matchup versus the Kansas City Chiefs. Honestly, it's a bit surprising the Bears haven't ruled out Jackson for […]

Joey Bosa Tagged As Questionable For Week 3

Los Angeles Chargers pass-rusher Joey Bosa (hamstring) is listed as questionable for the Week 3 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. The oft-injured pass rusher played on his injured hamstring in Week 2. He went out and totaled two sacks and two tackles for loss while playing at less than 100 percent. He was able to […]

Jamal Adams Listed As Questionable For Week 3

Seattle Seahawks safety Jamal Adams (knee) is listed as questionable for the Week 3 matchup versus the Carolina Panthers. The All-Pro safety was limited during Thursday's practice, but appears on track to play. Head coach Pete Carroll said that Adams is as close as you can get to playing in Week 3. It doesn't sound […]

Laremy Tunsil Considered Questionable For Week 3

Houston Texans offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil (knee) is listed as questionable for the Week 3 matchup versus the Indianapolis Colts. The superstar tackle missed Week 2 due to a lingering knee issue. Tunsil has been limited during practice this week, which is why he carries a questionable tag into this game. His absence would obviously […]

Javier Baez Returns On Friday

Detroit Tigers shortstop Javier Baez (back) has returned to the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Oakland Athletics. The 30-year-old is back after missing each of the last three games due to a lower back issue. Baez will cover shortstop and bat seventh versus left-hander Ken Waldichuk on Friday. This season, Baez is slashing […]

Tyrone Taylor Out Of Friday's Lineup

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Tyrone Taylor (hamstring) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Miami Marlins. It's worth noting that Taylor was also out of the lineup for Thursday's game as well. It sounds like Taylor is dealing with a minor hamstring injury. Hopefully it's only a day-to-day issue and Taylor won't […]

Michael Brantley Continues To Sit Out

Houston Astros outfielder Michael Brantley (general soreness) remains out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Kansas City Royals. This marks the fourth straight game that Brantley has missed due to what the team is calling general soreness. There's a good chance that the 36-year-old was going to be sidelined again versus left-hander […]

Ha-Seong Kim Returns To The Lineup

San Diego Padres infielder Ha-Seong Kim (abdomen) is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. He's back in there after missing four straight games due to abdominal discomfort. Kim will cover second base and bat sixth versus right-hander Dakota Hudson on Friday. This season, Kim is slashing .265/.356/.407 with […]

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Rejoins The Lineup On Friday

Toronto Blue Jays designated hitter Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (knee) is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. The 24-year-old was held out of the lineup each of the last two games due to a knee issue. However, Guerrero was able to enter Thursday's contest as a pinch hitter. He'll […]

Luis Arraez Back In The Lineup On Friday

Miami Marlins second baseman Luis Arraez (ankle) has returned to the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. The 26-year-old was forced to exit early during Tuesday's game due to a left ankle sprain. Arraez received a few days off and is now ready to return to the lineup. He'll bat leadoff and […]

Minkah Fitzpatrick On Track To Play

Pittsburgh Steelers safety Minkah Fitzpatrick (chest) was injured during Monday's win over the Cleveland Browns. The superstar safety was sent to the hospital for precautionary scans, but luckily he came back with no serious injuries. Fitzpatrick missed Wednesday's practice but was able to get in a limited session on Thursday. Right now, Fitzpatrick is on […]

Jamal Adams Gets In Limited Practice Session

Seattle Seahawks safety Jamal Adams (knee) was a limited participant during Thursday's practice session. The All-Pro safety opened the week with a full session, so possibly the team decided to dial it back on Thursday. It's unclear if the limited session Thursday was for rest purposes or a setback. Regardless, his session on Friday will […]

De'Von Achane Could Be Primary Backup

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane could be looking at a bigger role heading into the Week 3 matchup against the Denver Broncos. The rookie back sat out Week 1 to fully recover from a preseason injury. He made his NFL debut last week, but played in a limited role. The expectation is that Achane […]

Will Dissly Unlikely To Play In Week 3

Seattle Seahawks tight end Will Dissly (shoulder) was unable to practice on Thursday, according to John Boyle. Dissly has now missed back-to-back practices due to a lingering shoulder issue which puts his status for Week 3 in danger. There's still a chance he practices on Friday, but Dissly is trending in the wrong direction. His […]

Bryce Young Could Miss Multiple Games

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young (ankle) hasn't practiced this week and is not expected to suit up for the Week 3 matchup versus the Seattle Seahawks. The rookie quarterback suffered an ankle injury at some point during last week's matchup against the New Orleans Saints. He was able to play through the pain, but will […]

Cordarrelle Patterson Misses Thursday's Practice

Atlanta Falcons running back Cordarrelle Patterson (thigh) did not suit up for Thursday's practice session. The veteran back has not played a game this season and it seems unlikely that he'll play in Week 3. Patterson was scratched ahead of the Week 2 matchup versus the Green Bay Packers after being a full participant during […]

Logan Thomas Doesn't Practice On Thursday

Washington Commanders tight end Logan Thomas (concussion) remained on the sideline for Thursday's practice session. Thomas is still in concussion protocol after taking a rough hit to the head during Sunday's victory over the Denver Broncos. There's still time, but Thomas is trending in the wrong direction ahead of Sunday's Week 3 matchup versus the […]

Kadarius Toney Misses Thursday's Practice

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Kadarius Toney (toe) was not on the field for Thursday's practice session. The Chiefs could be shorthanded this weekend with both Toney and Richie James (knee) missing the first two practices of the week. At this moment, both players are trending towards sitting out the Week 3 matchup against the […]

Dawson Knox Remains Out On Thursday

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox (back) was unable to suit up for practice on Thursday. He missed each of the first two practice sessions this week due to a lingering back issue. That being said, Knox is at risk of missing the Week 3 matchup versus the Washington Commanders. His absence could spell a […]
