Tush-Push Ban Is Gaining Momentum

The Philadelphia Eagles have made the tush push famous over the last few seasons.

Earlier this offseason, the Green Bay Packers made a move to […]

Aroldis Chapman Pitches In Eighth Inning

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Aroldis Chapman was recently named the primary closer heading into the regular season, according to manager Alex Cora.

Washington Nationals starting pitcher MacKenzie Gore was fantastic on the mound during Thursday's season opener against the Philadelphia Phillies.

Sadly for Gore, the Nats […]

Shelby Miller Makes Opening Day Roster

Arizona Diamondbacks relief pitcher Shelby Miller has earned a spot on the Opening Day roster. This is a nice feel-good story as the veteran right-hander was brought in as a non-roster invitee.

Frankie Montas Gets Encouraging MRI Results

New York Mets starting pitcher Frankie Montas (lat) underwent an MRI earlier this week that showed good healing, according to president of baseball operations David Stearns.

Texas Rangers third baseman Josh Jung (neck) is expected to be ready to go for Thursday's season opener against the Boston Red Sox.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Cason Wallace (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Sacramento Kings.

Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center Chet Holmgren (hip) is available to play ahead of Tuesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Holmgren appears ready to go after missing Sunday's contest due to the hip issue. There is no word on Holmgren being limited, but his minutes have fluctuated recently anyway.

Dalano Banton Cleared For Tuesday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Dalano Banton (illness) has been cleared to play ahead of Tuesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Jerami Grant Downgraded To Out On Tuesday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Aroldis Chapman Named Primary Closer

Boston Red Sox left-handed relief pitcher Aroldis Chapman will operate as the primary closer to begin the season, according to manager Alex Cora.

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Lucas Giolito (hamstring) is scheduled to begin a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Worcester next week.

Matt Vierling Progressing To Soft Toss

Detroit Tigers outfielder Matt Vierling (shoulder) has progressed to hitting soft toss in the batting cage. It's worth noting that Vierling is also doing defensive drills and conditioning daily.

Jared Jones Shut Down For Six Weeks

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Jared Jones (elbow) will be shut down from throwing for the next six weeks. The good news is, Jones won't require surgery, so it doesn't appear he's in jeopardy of having a season-ending injury. The right-hander will need to build up his arm strength and stamina, so fantasy managers might not […]

Walker Buehler To Start On Saturday

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Walker Buehler (illness) is scheduled to take the mound against the Texas Rangers on Saturday. The right-hander was scratched from his most recent start due to a minor illness. It sounds like Buehler looked fine during his five innings of work on Monday. The team doesn't believe this illness will […]

Hayden Birdsong Moving To Bullpen

San Francisco Giants pitcher Hayden Birdsong (finger) will shift to the bullpen to begin the season. It was between Birdsong and Landen Koupp for the final spot in the starting rotation.
