The 30-year-old right-hander holds a 4.43 […]

Johnny Cueto To Start On Saturday

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Johnny Cueto will make his return to the starting rotation for Saturday's game against the Colorado Rockies.

Evan Longoria Sitting Out On Friday

Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Evan Longoria is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. It appears the veteran slugger will get a routine rest day here. He could use it considering he's 2-for-19 since the beginning of July. In his absence, Emmanuel Rivera will cover third base and bat seventh […]

Brandon Drury Goes Through Full Workout

Los Angeles Angels infielder Brandon Drury (shoulder) was able to get through a full workout on Friday. That is good news after Drury went down in the beginning of July due to left shoulder inflammation.

San Francisco Giants first baseman LaMonte Wade Jr. (hamstring) is returning to the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Washington Nationals. He was pulled out of Tuesday's game due to hamstring cramps. He sat out the next two games as a precaution, but appears to be fine now. The 29-year-old will bat leadoff and […]

Willi Castro Scratched On Friday

Minnesota Twins infielder Willi Castro (eye) has been scratched ahead of Friday's game against the Chicago White Sox. The 26-year-old was pulled out of the lineup due to conjunctivitis.

Mike Trout Has Stitches Removed

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (hand) had his stitches removed from his surgically-repaired left hand. The 31-year-old superstar told reporters on Friday he still has to allow the incision to fully heal before he can begin swinging the bat again.

Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) has been placed on the Physically Unable to Perform list on Friday.

It's assumed […]

Kyle Van Noy Visiting With Ravens

Free-agent linebacker Kyle Van Noy is expected to visit with the Baltimore Ravens. The veteran linebacker has bounced around over the last few seasons.

Free-agent linebackers Nick Vigil and Sam Eguavoen have gone through workouts with the New York Giants.

Vigil only […]

Cole Beasley Joins Giants

The New York Giants have signed wide receiver Cole Beasley to a one-year deal. The veteran wideout said he would retire if he didn't find a new team by training camp. It appears the 34-year-old will hang around for at least one more season. On paper, this doesn't seem like the best fit for Beasley. […]

James Robinson Signs With Giants

The New York Giants have signed running back James Robinson to a one-year deal. Robinson was recently cut by the New England Patriots because of injury issues stemming from his torn Achilles' tendon in 2022. The signing of Robinson seems like a depth move ahead of the inevitable Saquon Barkley holdout. The two sides were […]

Justin Turner Shifts To Second Base

Boston Red Sox infielder Justin Turner normally serves as the designated hitter, but will actually get to play the field on Friday. The 38-year-old will cover second base for the seventh time this season. He's also started at third base seven starts this season, but usually serves as the DH. The fact he's moving around […]

Washington Nationals first baseman Dominic Smith is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the San Francisco Giants.

Tampa Bay Rays catcher Francisco Mejia (knee) was forced to exit early during Thursday's game against the Baltimore Orioles due to knee discomfort.

Jarren Duran Playing On Friday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran will make his return to the starting lineup for Friday's game against the New York Mets. The lefty outfielder sat out Thursday's game due to the fact left-hander Ken Waldichuk was on the mound for Oakland.

Garrett Cooper Returning To The Lineup

Miami Marlins first baseman Garrett Cooper is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Colorado Rockies.

New York Knicks guard Trevor Keels has signed another two-way contract with the organization. The 19-year-old signed a two-way deal with the team two different times last season.

Starling Marte Scratched From Tuesday's Lineup

New York Mets outfielder Starling Marte (head) has been scratched from the lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Chicago White Sox. The 34-year-old was pulled out of the lineup due to migraines.

Julio Rodriguez Held Out On Tuesday

Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Minnesota Twins. This appears to be a routine day off for the 22-year-old outfielder. AJ Pollock will cover left field and bat eighth versus right-hander Bailey Ober on Tuesday. Fantasy managers should make sure to adjust their lineups accordingly […]

Rafael Devers To Sit Out On Tuesday

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers (calf) remains out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Oakland Athletics. The left-handed slugger was held out of Monday's game as well due to calf tightness. The team hasn't placed him on the injured list, so it appears the organization is hopeful this is only […]

James Harden Says Relationship With Sixers Is Fractured

Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden has been requesting a trade from the organization for weeks. The 33-year-old is extremely upset with how the organization has handled his trade request.
