Arizona Cardinals running back Eno Benjamin has been impressive during training camp, according to head coach Kliff Kingsbury. The 23-year-old is reportedly one of the hardest workers on the team. Despite that, Benjamin will have competition for the RB2 job in Arizona. The team has added Darrel Williams and drafted Keontay Ingram as well. James […]

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith will make the start under center for the first preseason game, according to head coach Pete Carroll.

Tanner Houck Placed On 15-Day Injured List

Boston Red Sox pitcher Tanner Houck (back) has been placed on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to Aug. 6. This is bad timing for Boston, as Houck has been sharp out of the bullpen this year.

The Dallas Cowboys have decided to bring in some more kickers for added competition. They hosted kickers Brett Maher, Cole Murphy and Matt Ammendola for workouts. Cleary, the organization isn't happy with the results they're getting from Lirim Hajrullahu and rookie Jonathan Garibay. The team might add another kicker to the mix, but that remains […]

Shohei Ohtani Gets Rare Off Day

Los Angeles Angels pitcher/designated hitter Shohei Ohtani (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Oakland Athletics. This will be a rare off day for the two-way superstar.

The veteran outfielder is owed $22 million for the 2023 season, which is the last year on his eight-year deal. The Cubs will likely […]

Kyle Farmer Scratched On Monday

Cincinnati Reds infielder Kyle Farmer (neck) has been scratched from the starting lineup for Monday's game against the New York Mets. The 31-year-old is dealing with neck stiffness, so he'll get the night off. This doesn't sound like something that is going to force Farmer to the injured list. Fantasy managers should assume he's day-to-day […]
