Bucky Irving Rushes Eight Times

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving played the first three offensive drives during Saturday's preseason game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Teddy Bridgewater Tosses Two Touchdowns

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Teddy Bridgewater drew the start under center for Saturday's preseason contest against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

He […]

Justin Verlander Looks Excellent on Saturday

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Justin Verlander posted arguably his best outing of the season versus the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday.

Verlander has looked better on the mound lately […]

Before this outing, Houser was blasted for nine runs on 17 hits over his first two starts with the Rays. The veteran right-hander was able to settle down on Saturday. Houser tossed […]

Luis Morales Earns First Win

Athletics starting pitcher Luis Morales looked sharp on the mound during Saturday's outing against the Los Angeles Angels.

This time around, Morales was able to locate his pitches much better on the mound. […]

Nolan McLean to Remain in Rotation

According to Laura Albanese, New York Mets starting pitcher Nolan McLean will remain in the starting rotation going forward. This shouldn't come as much of a surprise considering how well McLean looked during his MLB debut. The 24-year-old tossed 5.1 scoreless innings, allowing two hits, while walking four batters, and striking out eight. There are […]

Marcus Semien Avoids Serious Injury

Texas Rangers second baseman Marcus Semien (hand) was absent from the starting lineup during Saturday's loss to the Toronto Blue Jays.

Vinnie Pasquantino Removed Early on Saturday

Kansas City Royals first baseman Vinnie Pasquantino (illness) was removed early during Saturday's game against the Chicago White Sox. Pasquantino was pulled out of the game after his first-inning strikeout due to a heat related illness. This doesn't sound like a serious issue, so Pasquantino should be back in the lineup in a day or […]

Kyle Stowers Heads to Injured List With Left-Side Strain

Miami Marlins outfielder Kyle Stowers (side) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Saturday. Stowers was reportedly held out on Saturday as a precaution, but manager Clayton McCullough announced he's going to the shelf due to a Grade 1 left side strain.

Zack Wheeler Placed on Injured List With Blood Clot in Shoulder

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Zack Wheeler (shoulder) was placed on the 15-day injured list on Saturday.

The Phillies will take the cautious approach and shut […]

Daniel Palencia Unavailable Due to Illness

Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Daniel Palencia (illness) didn't take the mound during the ninth inning of Saturday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Instead, Brad Keller was tasked with recording the final three outs on Saturday. Afterwards, manager Craig Counsell said that Palencia was feeling under the weather, so they gave him a day off. This […]

Josh Lowe Scratched from Saturday's Lineup

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Josh Lowe (oblique) was scratched from the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the San Francisco Giants. He was originally penciled in to play right field, but will now head to the bench due to oblique tightness. For now, fantasy managers can consider Lowe as day-to-day, but oblique issues often […]

Houston Astros outfielder Yordan Alvarez (hand) was able to take eight live at-bats in West Palm Beach on Saturday. Now, Alvarez will return to Houston on Sunday to determine the next steps in his rehab process. Alvarez has been sidelined since early May due to a fractured hand.

Paul Goldschmidt Remaining Out on Saturday

New York Yankees first baseman Paul Goldschmidt (knee) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals.

Cody Bellinger Absent from Saturday's Lineup

New York Yankees outfielder Cody Bellinger (illness) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals.

Orlando Arcia Activated on Saturday

Colorado Rockies shortstop Orlando Arcia (elbow) was activated off the 10-day injured list on Saturday. Arcia missed the minimum 10 days while dealing with elbow inflammation.

Jeremy Pena Remains Out on Saturday

Houston Astros shortstop Jeremy Pena (illness) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Baltimore Orioles.

Cowser is currently on the 7-day injured list due to a concussion. He has been eligible to return since Thursday, but needed a few extra days. Cowser figures to resume his starting role in left […]

Anthony Santander Begins Swinging the Bat

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Anthony Santander (shoulder) has reportedly progressed to swinging from both sides of the plate. If everything goes well, Santander should work his way up to a hitting program and begin a rehab assignment. However, this progression is likely going to take weeks, so fantasy managers should be able to safely rule […]

Matt Chapman Goes to Injured List

San Francisco Giants third baseman Matt Chapman (hand) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Friday. This comes after a hand issue kept Chapman from playing during Wednesday's contest. He underwent an MRI which ruled out any structural damage. However, Chapman is going to miss a few weeks because of this injury. The Giants […]

The rumors are that Fannin could line […]

Jaydon Blue Still Not Practicing

Dallas Cowboys running back Jaydon Blue (heel) is no longer using a walking boot, but hasn't participated in practice since last week. That being said, it's unlikely that Blue is going to be ready to play against the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday. The Cowboys probably aren't going to put Blue into game action without him […]

Kaleb Johnson Unlikely to Have Big Role Right Away

According to Andrew Fillipponi, Pittsburgh Steelers running back Kaleb Johnson is unlikely to have a big role on offense early in the season. Johnson still needs to work on his pass protection and pass-catching ability before taking on a bigger role. It's still fairly early in training camp, so things could change from now to […]
