Chester Rogers Signs With Texans

Free-agent wide receiver Chester Rogers has agreed to a one-year deal with the Houston Texans. The 28-year-old visited with Houston on Monday, so apparently that went very well. This is a nice depth signing, but this won't mean too much in terms of fantasy football. Last season, Rogers finished with 30 receptions, 301 receiving yards, […]

Elijah Moore Could Emerge As No. 1 Option

New York Jets wide receiver Elijah Moore has established himself as a No. 1 option, according to Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic.

Diontae Johnson, Steelers Not Close On Extension

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson is unlikely to sign an extension anytime soon. In fact, Gerry Dulac reports that Johnson and the Steelers are far apart on a new deal.

Whit Merrifield Traded To Toronto

Kansas City Royals second baseman Whit Merrifield has been traded to the Toronto Blue Jays. This is a bit of an odd move considering Merrifield's vaccination status.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Kris Bryant (foot) has been scratched from Monday's game against the San Diego Padres. He was removed from Sunday's contest due to plantar fasciitis in his left foot.

Kris Bryant To Play On Monday

Colorado Rockies outfielder Kris Bryant (foot) is back in the lineup for Monday's game against the San Diego Padres.

Eric Hosmer Removed During Sunday's Game

San Diego Padres first baseman Eric Hosmer (neck) was removed during Sunday's game against the Minnesota Twins. There was some speculation that this removal was trade-related, but that doesn't appear to be the case. Instead, the 32-year-old is dealing with a minor neck strain. Fantasy managers should consider this a day-to-day issue. This doesn't sound […]

Dixon Machado Acquired By Giants

The San Francisco Giants have acquired shortstop Dixon Machado from the Chicago Cubs. In exchange, the Cubs will receive right-handed pitcher Raynel Espinal from the Giants.

Cincinnati Reds third baseman Brandon Drury has a surprisingly hot trade market heading into the deadline. The 29-year-old is having a breakout year with the Reds.

Clay Holmes Suffers Blown Save On Sunday

New York Yankees relief pitcher Clay Holmes had a disastrous outing against the Kansas City Royals on Sunday.
