Zach Thompson To Move Into Bullpen

Miami Marlins pitcher Zach Thompson won't be taking the mound as a starting pitcher for the rest of the season. The team announced that Thompson will shift into the bullpen down the stretch. Thompson has a 3.16 ERA, 1.17 WHIP in 62.7 innings with the Marlins this season. This shouldn't be viewed as a demotion, […]

Jon Gray To Throw Simulated Game On Saturday

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Jon Gray (forearm) will take the mound and throw a simulated game on Saturday. He was placed on the injured list on Wednesday due to right forearm tightness. The hope is that Gray will be able to get back into the rotation after this simulated game. However, the team is going […]

Joc Pederson Gets Rest Day On Thursday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Joc Pederson (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Colorado Rockies. The Braves have plenty of options in the outfield after the trade deadline, so they can afford to give guys routine days off. Eddie Rosario will cover left field and bat leadoff versus righty Chi Chi […]

Ozzie Albies Remains Out On Thursday

Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies (knee) remains out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Colorado Rockies. He was able to go through pregame workouts, but will sit out at least one more game. Ehire Adrianza is hitting eighth and covering second base versus righty Chi Chi Gonzalez on Thursday. Adrianza isn't […]

Willson Contreras Playing In Minors On Friday

Chicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras (knee) will get into action on Friday with Triple-A Iowa. He has been sidelined since August 12 due to a knee sprain. He'll need to get some rehab at-bats to get back into a groove before returning to Chicago. The hope is that he'll be able to return within the […]

Anthony DeSclafani Will Start Friday

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Anthony DeSclafani will make the start against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday, according to manager Gabe Kapler. DeSclafani lasted just three innings during his most recent outing. He didn't exit due to injury, but was dealing with an ankle sprain prior to that outing. The right-hander will make an […]

Shaquem Griffin Staying In Miami

Miami Dolphins linebacker Shaquem Griffin was one of the more surprising cuts on Tuesday. He was added to the team in July as linebacker depth. Griffin was mainly a special teams player in Seattle, but has decent upside. On Wednesday, he was brought back to the Dolphins on the practice squad. At least now, Miami […]

Antonio Williams Lands On Practice Squad

Buffalo Bills running back Antonio Williams failed to make the 53-man roster on Tuesday. He was released by the team, but brought back on the practice squad on Wednesday. Williams was a surprising cut because he does have some upside. The 23-year-old is unlikely to have a role in 2021. Both Devin Singletary and Zack […]

Kohei Arihara Looks Strong In Short Outing

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Kohei Arihara was surprisingly strong on the mound against the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday. He went 3 1/3 innings, one hit, one earned run, and three strikeouts in the 9-5 loss. He actually retired the first 10 batters he faced before allowing a solo home run to Brendan Rodgers. That was […]

Joe Barlow Tagged For Five Runs

Texas Rangers relief pitcher Joe Barlow was unable to shut the door against the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday. He wasn't even able to get through an inning before allowing five runs (two earned) with two walks in the 9-5 loss. It was partly Barlow's fault for walking two batters, but after that the Rangers defense […]

Matt Duffy Scratched On Wednesday

Chicago Cubs infielder Matt Duffy (neck) has been scratched from Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Twins. He is dealing with neck stiffness, so hopefully it's just a day-to-day type of issue. In the meantime, Andrew Romine will cover second base and bat ninth against righty Joe Ryan. Romine isn't in a favorable part of the […]

Johnny Cueto Heads To Injured List

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Johnny Cueto (elbow) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday. This shouldn't come as a shock considering manager Gabe Kapler mentioned Cueto was dealing with elbow soreness last week. The hope is that Cueto won't need more than 10 days. However, Cueto has dealt with plenty of […]

Daniel Vogelbach Activated From 60-Day Injured List

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Daniel Vogelbach (hamstring) has been activated off the 60-day injured list on Wednesday. He missed over two months due to a hamstring issue and foot injury that happened during his rehab assignment. He won't be in the lineup on Wednesday, but is an option off the bench for Milwaukee. Vogelbach is […]

Manny Pina Placed On 10-Day Injured List

Milwaukee Brewers catcher Manny Pina (oblique) has been placed on the 10-day injured list, retroactive August 29. Hopefully, Pina won't miss much time, but he has been horrendous at the plate anyway. He is slashing .181/.285/.389 with nine homers across 172 plate appearances. Pina is normally a reliable backup catcher, but won't provide fantasy value […]

Frankie Montas To Take The Mound Thursday

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Frankie Montas will have his start moved up to Thursday against the Detroit Tigers. Apparently, lefty Sean Manaea is having a visa issue and won't be able to pitch on Thursday. This is actually a favorable change for Montas. He'll get a much easier opponent and has been tough to hit […]

Jorge Soler Gets Rest Day On Wednesday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Jorge Soler (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. This appears to be a routine rest day for the slugging outfielder. Soler has been on fire since joining the Braves roster and should be rostered in basically all fantasy formats right now. Adam Duvall […]

Zach McKinstry Recalled From Minors

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder/outfielder Zach McKinstry has been recalled from the minors on Wednesday. He will add some additional position player flexibility down the stretch of the season. The 26-year-old got off to a red-hot start to the season, but has struggled as of late. Since his return in May, McKinstry is slashing .217/.265/.408 with […]

Ryan Griffin Back With The Jets

New York Jets tight end Ryan Griffin was unable to make the final 53-man roster. He was cut by the team on Tuesday, but returned as a member of the practice squad on Wednesday. The Jets are without many options at tight end, so it wouldn't be shocking to see Griffin back on the field […]

James Morgan No Longer With Jets

New York Jets quarterback James Morgan was released by the organization on Tuesday. Both Morgan and veteran Josh Johnson were cut in order to finalize the 53-man roster. However, Johnson was brought back on the practice squad, but Morgan's time in New York is over. The former fourth-round pick will head to the Carolina Panthers […]

Mike White Wins Backup Job

New York Jets quarterback Mike White has won the backup job to start the regular season. An interesting move by the organization to cut both Josh Johnson and James Morgan on Tuesday. However, Johnson will return on the practice squad. Regardless, White has never attempted a pass in the regular season. The Jets are in […]

Isaiah Zuber Doesn't Make Final Cut

New England Patriots wide receiver Isaiah Zuber was one of a handful of cuts during Tuesday's push to make a final 53-man roster. Zuber was cut alongside fellow wideout Kristian Wilkerson. However, the Pats have brought back Wilkerson, but on the practice squad. Zuber remains without a roster spot, but Wilkerson did outplay him during […]

Matt LaCosse Secures Practice Squad Spot

New England Patriots tight end Matt LaCosse was originally a victim of the final roster cuts on Tuesday. However, the organization has decided to bring back the veteran tight end, but on the practice squad. He will have to beat out Devin Asiasi if he wants a spot on the 53-man roster. Regardless, neither of […]

Kristian Wilkerson Cut, But Returns To New England

New England Patriots wide receiver Kristian Wilkerson was originally cut by the team during Tuesday's push to finalize the 53-man roster. However, he is back with New England, but on their practice squad. Wilkerson was sharp during the preseason and is certainly worth a practice squad spot. He might even get a chance to play […]

Brian Hoyer Returns To Patriots

New England Patriots quarterback Brian Hoyer was released during a handful of cuts on Tuesday. However, he was only out of a job for a day as he's back on the Patriots roster heading into the regular season. Hoyer was signed to the practice squad on Wednesday, which at least gives them some depth. Jarrett […]

Quinn Nordin Wins Kicking Job

New England Patriots kicker Quinn Nordin will open the season as the team's kicker. The undrafted rookie kicker beat out veteran kicker Nick Folk in training camp. That led to Folk being cut on Tuesday, but he'll likely land elsewhere. Nordin was a 72.4 percent field goal kicker in the Big 10. He never finished […]

N'Keal Harry Placed On Injured Reserve

New England Patriots wide receiver N'Keal Harry (shoulder) has been placed on the injured reserve on Wednesday. He injured his shoulder in Week 2 of the preseason. Now, Harry is going to miss at least the first three weeks of the regular season. Jakobi Meyers and Nelson Agholor will remain as the starters and could […]

Bernardrick McKinney Doesn't Make Roster

Miami Dolphins linebacker Bernardrick McKinney has been cut by the organization on Tuesday. This is one of the more surprising cuts by Miami. He was acquired by Miami back in March and appeared to have the inside track at the starting linebacker job. However, Elandon Roberts looks to have beat him out for the roster […]

Dolphins Have Faith In Tua Tagovailoa

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa will be the starting QB heading into Week 1 of the regular season. There were some rumors that Miami was considering acquiring Deshaun Watson from the Houston Texans. However, Dolphins owner Shephen Ross said he's not forcing team decisions and has faith in Tagovailoa. The second-year quarterback certainly looks like […]

Isaiah Hodgins Released By Bills

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Isaiah Hodgins was unable to make the final 53-man roster cut. He was cut along with a handful of other players on Tuesday. Hodgins was drafted in the sixth round out of Oregon State in 2020. He missed his rookie season due to a shoulder injury, but the upside is there. […]

Chase Anderson Joins Rangers On Minor League Deal

The Texas Rangers have reached an agreement on a minor league deal with starting pitcher Chase Anderson. He was recently released by the Philadelphia Phillies, but has already found a new home. It's uncertain whether or not Anderson will get a chance with the MLB roster down the stretch. The 33-year-old is posting a 6.75 […]
