Joe Barlow Tagged With Loss On Thursday

Texas Rangers relief pitcher Joe Barlow appears to be the favorite for save chances down the stretch. On Thursday, Barlow got through a scoreless 10th inning and appeared locked in. Sadly, that changed in the 11th when Ty France hit a go-ahead two-run home run off Barlow. He was given the loss in what was […]

Spencer Howard Lifted After Two Innings

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Spencer Howard is certainly going to be a work in progress for the organization. He turned in a decent outing last time on the mound, but was rocked during Thursday's contest. Howard went two innings, five hits allowed, five earned runs, one walk, and three strikeouts in the 9-8 loss to […]

Dolphins Acquire Greg Little From Panthers

The Miami Dolphins made a handful of roster moves on Tuesday. The most interesting being acquiring offensive tackle Greg Little from the Carolina Panthers. In exchange for the former second round pick, the Panthers received a seventh round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft. The promising talent prospect was selected 37th overall during the 2019 […]

Hunter Long Returned To Practice On Thursday

Miami Dolphins tight end Hunter Long (knee) was able to return to the practice field on Thursday. He was carted off the field a few weeks ago after getting shoved while making a catch out of bounds. Surprisingly, Long returned on Thursday and was doing team drills in front of reporters. The third round pick […]

Myles Gaskin Stuck In Messy Backfield Situation

Miami Dolphins running back Myles Gaskin could have a difficult time holding reliable fantasy value during the 2021 season. Last season, Gaskin emerged as the lead back and held RB2 value in PPR formats. However, the Dolphins are going to use a three-back committee this upcoming season. Head coach Brian Flores mentioned that the organization […]

Dion Dawkins Will Play Versus Bears

Buffalo Bills left tackle Dion Dawkins will suit up for Saturday's preseason matchup against the Chicago Bears. This is positive news after Dawkins spent four days in the hospital from COVID-19. Dawkins returned to practice this week and apparently made enough progress that he'll get to play on Saturday. The Bills are certainly excited to […]

Stefon Diggs Won't Play On Saturday

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs (knee) will not suit up for Saturday's game against the Chicago Bears. The superstar receiver will sit out, which isn't surprising considering he continues to recover from a knee issue. Head coach Sean McDermott mentioned earlier in training camp that Diggs is unlikely to play at all during the […]

Josh Allen To Rest Versus Bears

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen will not suit up for the preseason matchup against the Chicago Bears. Head coach Sean McDermott confirmed on Friday that the superstar quarterback will sit out the second preseason matchup. That being said, Mitchell Trubisky will get a chance to start against his former team. The former second overall pick […]

Chad Pinder Could Return On Friday

Oakland Athletics infielder/outfielder Chad Pinder (hamstring) could return as early as Friday. It sounds like the veteran utility man will play one final game in Triple-A on Thursday to finish up his rehab assignment. Pinder has been sidelined since early July due to a lingering hamstring issue. He wasn't much of a fantasy asset when […]

Alex Cobb Making Solid Progress

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Alex Cobb (wrist) was able to throw without any issues on Wednesday. Despite that, manager Joe Maddon has not given a timetable on the veteran righty. Cobb has been sidelined since late July due to wrist inflammation. There's a good chance he'll need at least one rehab start before returning […]

Jorge Lopez Removed After Two Innings

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Jorge Lopez (undisclosed) was removed after two innings versus the Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday. He looked uncomfortable on the mound and allowed four earned runs before being pulled from the game. The right-hander did seem to be having possible discomfort in his shoulder. The organization is likely to give more […]

Zach Eflin To Begin Rehab Assignment On Saturday

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Zach Eflin (knee) will begin a minor league rehab assignment with Double-A Reading on Saturday. The right-hander has been sidelined since July 20 due to patellar tendinitis. When healthy, Eflin has posted a 4.17 ERA with 99 strikeouts in 109 innings with the Phillies. He is certainly a bit better than […]

Jesse Winker Unlikely To Return When First Eligible

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Jesse Winker (intercostal) was placed on the 10-day injured list last Sunday. The lefty slugger is expected to miss more than just 10 days while dealing with an intercostal strain. Winker has not resumed baseball activities and could very well be out until possibly September. This season, Winker is hitting .307/.395/.560 batting […]

Andrew Knizner Getting The Start At Catcher On Thursday

St. Louis Cardinals catcher Andrew Knizner will draw the start behind the plate for Thursday's matchup with the Milwaukee Brewers. Knizner has started in five of the last 13 games for the Cardinals. This is likely because the organization wants to give veteran Yadier Molina more rest. Knizner will bat eighth and do the catching […]

Yonny Hernandez Puts Together Two-Hit Game

Texas Rangers infielder Yonny Hernandez made the most of his chance at the top of the order during Wednesday's game. He went 2-for-4 with a pair of singles during the 3-1 loss to the Seattle Mariners. Hernandez has hit well since joining the Rangers and appears to be a nice fit towards the top of […]

Jose Trevino Collects A Pair Of Doubles

Texas Rangers catcher Jose Trevino put together a nice performance at the plate during Wednesday's game against the Seattle Mariners. He went 2-for-3 with a pair of doubles and an RBI in the 3-1 loss. Trevino has recorded eight doubles on the season with three home runs, but hasn't done much outside of that. He […]

Mike Foltynewicz Holds Mariners In Check

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Mike Foltynewicz has been relatively solid on the mound over his last few outings. On Wednesday, he went six innings, three hits allowed, two earned runs, two walks, and five strikeouts in the 3-1 loss to the Seattle Mariners. Foltynewicz gave up a two-run home run to Kyle Seager in the […]

Austin Riley Knocks In Two Runs Versus Marlins

Atlanta Braves outfielder Austin Riley has been on fire at the plate, but it has been overshadowed by the performance of Freddie Freeman. Despite that, Riley put together a solid game versus the Miami Marlins on Wednesday. He went 3-for-5 with two RBI in the 11-9 slug fest victory. All of Riley's hits in this […]

Adam Duvall Walks Three Times On Wednesday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Adam Duvall is not normally known for his discipline at the plate. Although, he certainly showed he is capable of drawing a few walks during Wednesday's game against the Miami Marlins. Duvall went 1-for-2 with three RBI and three walks in the 11-9 victory. It was an odd stat line for Duvall […]

Charlie Morton Strikes Out Nine In Victory

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Charlie Morton has been the ace of this rotation and continued to show why on Wednesday. He went six innings, three hits allowed, two earned runs, one walk, and nine strikeouts in the 11-9 win against the Miami Marlins. Morton has tossed four straight quality starts as he improve to 12-4 […]

Freddie Freeman Hits For The Cycle

Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman accomplished something that he wasn't even able to do during his MVP season. On Wednesday, Freeman hit for the cycle during the 11-9 victory over the Miami Marlins. He went 4-for-5 with two RBI, and one walk as he accomplished an extremely difficult task. Over his last five games, […]

Jake Kumerow Continues Impressing In Camp

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Jake Kumerow has reportedly been impressive during training camp. He made a few solid catches earlier this week and appears to be building chemistry with quarterback Josh Allen. "He just puts his head down and he works, doesn't talk a whole lot," Allen explained. "He is the definition of a gamer, […]

Zack Moss Has Returned To Practice

Buffalo Bills running back Zack Moss (hamstring) was able to return to practice on Monday. He wasn't able to play in Friday's preseason game due to a lingering hamstring issue. However, it sounds like Moss is feeling better and could potentially return for their next preseason matchup. It'll be interesting to see how the Bills […]

James McCann Remains Out Of The Lineup

New York Mets catcher James McCann (back) remains out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the San Francisco Giants. He was a late scratch on Tuesday due to back spasms. Clearly, McCann still isn't feeling 100 percent healthy and will sit out another contest. Patrick Mazeika will draw another start at catcher and […]

Matt Strahm Lands On Injured List

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Matt Strahm (knee) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday. He has been banged up all season long, but did serve as the opener on Tuesday. Veteran right-hander Jake Arrieta will take over his spot in the rotation and make the start against the Colorado Rockies on […]

Willson Contreras Making Solid Progress

Chicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras (knee) was able to play catch and do some jogging on Wednesday. He landed on the 10-day injured list on Thursday, but could be able to return when first eligible. That means, Contreras come be back in the Cubs lineup by Sunday, but no promises. In the meantime, Robinson Chirinos […]

Nico Hoerner Played Catch On Wednesday

Chicago Cubs infielder Nico Hoerner (oblique) was able to play catch again on Wednesday. He has been sidelined since late July, but is slowly making his way back to the Cubs roster. The hope is that Hoerner is ready to return to the MLB roster by the end of August. He'll likely slide into a […]

Austin Gomber To Return On Friday

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Austin Gomber (paternity) is set to take the mound on Friday versus the Arizona Diamondbacks. He has been absent from the team over the last few days while his wife gave birth to his son. The 27-year-old has been a reliable option for the Rockies this season. He is posting a […]

Kenta Maeda Pushed Back Until Saturday

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Kenta Maeda will have his start pushed back a few days. The veteran righty will take the ball against the New York Yankees on Saturday instead of pitching Thursday. The 33-year-old was solid last time out, but has been disappointing throughout most of the 2021 season. It's tough to imagine that […]

George Springer Diagnosed With Grade 1 Sprain

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (knee) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. The 31-year-old outfielder signed a massive extension with the organization over the offseason, but has played in a total of 49 games this season. That good news is, Springer suffered a Grade 1 left knee sprain. That is the […]
