He doesn't exactly offer much fantasy value […]

Atlanta Braves relief pitcher A.J. Minter (shoulder) has been activated from the 15-day injured list on Monday.

Alex Verdugo Available For Trade

Boston Red Sox outfielder Alex Verdugo is reportedly on the trade block ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline.

The 27-year-old still has one more season left on his deal before he's a […]

Nestor Cortes Jr. To Make Another Rehab Start

New York Yankees starting pitcher Nestor Cortes Jr. (shoulder) is set to make another minor league rehab start on Monday. The left-hander looked sharp during his second rehab start on Friday.

AJ Smith-Shawver Optioned To Minors

Atlanta Braves pitcher AJ Smith-Shawver has been optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday. Left-hander reliever A.J. Minter has been activated from the injured list, so Smith-Shawver was the odd man out. Honestly, there isn't a spot for Smith-Shawver in the starting rotation with Max Fried likely returning soon. The 20-year-old allowed three runs over five […]

Zach Charbonnet Out Indefinitely

Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet (shoulder) is expected to miss significant time after suffering an injury during practice.

The Seahawks are also without […]

Kenneth Walker III Dealing With Groin Injury

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (groin) was sidelined during Sunday's practice due to injury. Head coach Pete Carroll said that Walker could be sidelined for a decent amount of time.

Nolan Jones Pulled Out Early On Sunday

Colorado Rockies outfielder Nolan Jones was pulled out early during Sunday's game against the Oakland Athletics. There was some concern that the 25-year-old suffered an injury, but that might not have been the case. It sounds like his exit was precautionary due to cramping. The expectation is he'll be fine going forward, so fantasy managers […]

It sounds like there is […]

Clayton Kershaw To Throw Another Simulated Game On Thursday

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw (shoulder) is scheduled to throw another simulated game on Thursday. The left-hander threw on Saturday and there was some hope he'd return following that outing. That won't be the case as Kershaw is going to need a little more time to recover. The 35-year-old has been sidelined since […]

Braves Acquire Nicky Lopez

Kansas City Royals infielder Nicky Lopez has been traded to the Atlanta Braves in exchange for left-hander Taylor Hearn. This move makes sense considering the Royals have younger infielders that they want to give a chance on their rebuilding roster. Lopez is a skill defender, but has struggled with the bat this season. He's slashing […]

Chris Flexen To Start On Saturday

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Chris Flexen has been recalled to take the mound against the Oakland Athletics on Saturday.

Evan Longoria Placed On 10-Day Injured List

Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Evan Longoria (back) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Saturday. The 37-year-old is dealing with a lower back strain, so he'll get some time off to rest. The assumption is that Longoria is only going to require a minimal stint on the injured list. In a corresponding move, […]

Mets, Rangers Agree To Max Scherzer Trade

New York Mets starting pitcher Max Scherzer will waive his no-trade clause to go to the Texas Rangers. The two sides are reportedly finalizing a deal that would send the All-Star pitcher to Arlington.

Mookie Betts Scratched From Saturday's Lineup

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts (ankle) has been scratched from the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. It appears the 30-year-old is dealing with right ankle soreness. This sounds like a minor injury and the Dodgers are just holding him out as a precaution. In his absence, Jason Heyward will […]

Nick Madrigal Activated From 10-Day Injured List

Chicago Cubs infielder Nick Madrigal (hamstring) has been activated from the 10-day injured list ahead of Saturday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals.

The right-hander will take the ball versus the Cleveland Guardians on Saturday, which might be his last start with Chicago. The […]

Jeimer Candelario In The Lineup On Saturday

Washington Nationals third baseman Jeimer Candelario (shoulder) is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the New York Mets. This is good news after the 29-year-old injured his shoulder during Friday's game. He'll cover third base and bat third versus right-hander Carlos Carrasco on Saturday. Fantasy managers should make sure to get Candelario back […]

LaMonte Wade Jr. Not In The Lineup On Saturday

San Francisco Giants first baseman LaMonte Wade Jr. is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Boston Red Sox. The 29-year-old has recovered from his back issues, which is good news for fantasy managers. However, the left-handed slugger will sit out on Saturday with left-hander James Paxton on the mound for Boston. […]

Diontae Johnson Heads To Locker Room

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson was forced to head to the locker room during Friday's practice.
