Sam Howell Taking All First-Team Reps

Washington Commanders quarterback Sam Howell is handling 100 percent of the first-team reps right now. This shouldn't come as a shocking considering Howell is expected to be the starter to begin the season. Despite that, head coach Ron Rivera has said it's a competition between Howell and veteran QB Jacoby Brissett. Possibly, it was a […]

Damiere Byrd Misses Sunday's Practice

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Damiere Byrd (hamstring) was unable to participate in Sunday's practice. The 30-year-old has been promising early in camp, but missed Sunday's practice due to a hamstring injury. This is not good news for his chances of climbing up the depth chart. He's trying to chase Jonathan Mingo and Laviska Shenault for […]

Detroit Lions wide receiver Denzel Mims (ankle) was forced to exit early during Saturday's practice. The 25-year-old came up limping after getting hit hard by safety Tracy Walker during practice. The severity of the injury is unclear, so his status for the preseason opener is unknown right now. Mims was acquired by the Lions from […]

C.J. Stroud Gets First-Team Reps

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud took first-team reps for the second consecutive day. This is big news considering Stroud and Davis Mills have been splitting up the reps early in camp. Head coach DeMeco Ryans said Stroud has been making positive adjustments during practice. The team isn't ready to name Stroud the starter, but the […]

Kenny McIntosh To Miss Some Time

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenny McIntosh (knee) was forced to exit early during Friday's mock game due to injury.

Paul Sewald Blows Sunday's Game

Arizona Diamondbacks relief pitcher Paul Sewald was brought in with a one-run lead versus the Minnesota Twins on Sunday.

Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Adbert Alzolay was handed the ball with a two-run lead in the ninth inning of Sunday's game against the Atlanta Braves.

Crawford in the first inning. After that, Silseth only made one more mistake to Teoscar Hernandez in the seventh inning. The right-hander finished with a career-high 12 strikeouts […]

Bryce Miller Looks Outstanding In No-Decision

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Bryce Miller looked extremely sharp during Sunday's start against the Los Angeles Angels. He was tagged for one run in the first inning from an RBI double by Mike Moustakas. After that, Miller settled down and took command of this ballgame. He struck out 10 batters over five innings of work […]

New York Yankees starting pitcher Carlos Rodon (hamstring) is set to undergo an MRI following his early departure from Sunday's start. The left-hander wasn't even able to pitch a full three innings before exiting due to a left hamstring issue. This is obviously discouraging considering this was only his sixth start of the season. There's […]

Texas Rangers third baseman Josh Jung (thumb) was forced to exit early during Sunday's game against the Miami Marlins. The 25-year-old was removed from the contest after suffering a thumb injury while fielding a ground ball. Jung underwent x-rays, which revealed a left thumb fracture.

Trevor Story Continues Making Progress

Boston Red Sox infielder Trevor Story (elbow) will serve as the designated hitter for Saturday's rehab game with Triple-A Worcester. The team plans on having Story play shortstop on Sunday before a day off on Monday. It sounds like the 30-year-old is making progress, but probably won't hit his goal of 20 rehab games. The […]

Chisholm remained on the ground and was in […]

Danny Jansen Scratched On Saturday

Toronto Blue Jays catcher Danny Jansen (wrist) has been scratched from Saturday's starting lineup against the Boston Red Sox.

Garrett Wilson To Return On Tuesday

New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson (ankle) was expected to return on Saturday, but the team decided to take the cautious approach.

Dak Prescott Unlikely To Play In Preseason

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is not expected to suit up during the preseason. Head coach Mike McCarthy says he hasn't made his final decision, but it sounds unlikely that Prescott does suit up. The Cowboys have high playoff aspirations, so they want to keep the seven-year veteran healthy. It's worth noting that the Cowboys […]

Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson did not suit up for practice on Saturday. There have been rumors of Hockenson possibly sitting out until he gets a new deal. The 26-year-old is set to play under his fifth-year option and become an unrestricted free agent next offseason. It's uncertain whether his absence was injury or […]

Broncos To Play Starters In First Preseason Game

Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton said he plans to have his starters play during the first preseason game against the Arizona Cardinals. He continued by saying that he hasn't figured out how many snaps everyone is going to play yet. This makes sense considering Payton is new to the organization and there is a […]

Tre'Quan Smith, Rashid Shaheed Exit Early During Practice

New Orleans Saints wide receivers Tre'Quan Smith (groin) and Rashid Shaheed (groin) were both forced to exit early during Saturday's practice. This is tough as both players are battling for slot snaps alongside Chris Olave and Michael Thomas this season. The early departures are alarming, but it's uncertain if these injuries are significant. Fantasy managers […]

Miles Sanders Suffers Minor Injury

Carolina Panthers running back Miles Sanders was unable to finish Saturday's practice due to an undisclosed injury. Head coach Frank Reich said Sanders tweaked something and was held out as a precaution. It doesn't sound like a significant issue, so fantasy managers shouldn't worry about Sanders missing time. The Panthers gave Sanders a four-year deal […]

Eloy Jimenez Returns To The Lineup

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez (heel) is back in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Cleveland Guardians. He'll return after missing each of the last two games due to heel soreness. Luckily, it was only a minor injury and it didn't force Jimenez onto the injured list. He'll serve as the designated […]

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Austin Hays is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the New York Mets. After starting 17 straight games, Hays will receive a much-needed day off on Saturday. The 28-year-old is slashing a sluggish 185/.239/.231 during that span. Hopefully, Hays will return back to form after getting a day off. […]

Thairo Estrada Activated And Playing On Saturday

San Francisco Giants infielder Thairo Estrada (hand) has been activated from the 10-day injured list ahead of Saturday's game against the Oakland Athletics.

Sal Frelick Out Versus Lefty Starter

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Sal Frelick will take a seat for Saturday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

He's slashing .250/.412/.472 with two homers and […]

Esteury Ruiz Activated From Injured List

Ramon Laureano Designated For Assignment

Oakland Athletics outfielder Ramon Laureano has been designated for assignment by the organization on Saturday. It appears the rebuilding A's have decided to head in another direction without the veteran outfielder. The team reinstated outfielder Esteury Ruiz from the injured list, so he should get more at-bats with Laureano gone. Through 59 games, Laureano slashed […]
