Martin Perez Heads To Paternity List

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Martin Perez has been placed on the paternity leave list on Wednesday. The left-hander can miss up to three games as he spends time with his family. The assumption is that Perez will be back in time to take the mound for his scheduled start on Friday. He has been […]

Merrill Kelly Avoids Major Injury

Updating a previous report, Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Merrill Kelly (hamstring) was forced to exit early during Wednesday's start against the Texas Rangers. The right-hander was pulled in the fifth inning due to right-hamstring cramping. It sounds like a minor issue, and the team is hopeful that Kelly can make his next start against the […]

Teoscar Hernandez Returning On Wednesday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernandez (ankle) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Chicago Cubs. This is good news after Hernandez missed four games due to an ankle issue. It was uncertain if he was truly day-to-day or going to be placed on the injured list. Hernandez appears good […]

Luis Campusano Optioned To Minors

San Diego Padres catcher Luis Campusano has been optioned to Triple-A El Paso on Wednesday. The Padres were carrying three catchers with Elias Diaz and Kyle Higashioka also on the roster. Campusano was the odd man out which isn't shocking given his performance this season. He's hitting .227 with eight home runs and 40 RBI […]

Brandon Lockridge Recalled On Wednesday

San Diego Padres outfielder Brandon Lockridge has been recalled from Triple-A El Paso on Wednesday. The 27-year-old was acquired by the team at the trade deadline in the move that sent Enyel De Los Santos to the New York Yankees. This could end up being a nice addition for the Padres. Lockridge is slashing .306/.410/.397 […]

Jose Miranda Heads To The Bench

Minnesota Twins infielder Jose Miranda heads to the bench ahead of Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. This is a much-needed day off for Miranda who has started in each of the last 10 games. The 26-year-old is in the middle of a breakout campaign. Through 115 games, Miranda is hitting .295 with nine […]

Christian McCaffrey Unlikely To Play In Week 2

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey (calf, Achilles) is in danger of missing two straight games. The superstar back was declared inactive a few hours before the season opener against the New York Jets on Monday. There was some controversy about backup running back Jordan Mason knowing he was going to start on Friday, […]

JuJu Brents Headed To Injured Reserve

Indianapolis Colts defensive back JuJu Brents (knee) has been placed on the injured reserve on Tuesday. It appears the young corner has suffered a season-ending knee injury. The organization isn't sure of the specifics of the injury, but it sounds like Brents is done for the season. This is a tough blow for the former […]

Dawuane Smoot Ruled Out For Thursday

Buffalo Bills defensive end Dawuane Smoot (toe) has been ruled out ahead of the Week 2 matchup against the Miami Dolphins. It's a short week and it doesn't sound like Smoot is going to have enough time to get ready to play. He also sat out of the season opener against the Arizona Cardinals. The […]

Bryce Hall Placed On Injured Reserve

Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive back Bryce Hall (ankle) has been placed on the injured reserve on Tuesday. This knocks him out for at least the next four games, but he's likely done for the rest of the season. The former fifth-round pick suffered a dislocated ankle and fractured fibula during the Week 1 win over […]

La'Mical Perine Released By Packers

Green Bay Packers running back La'Mical Perine has been released by the organization on Tuesday. Perine joined the Packers a few weeks ago after getting cut by the Pittsburgh Steelers at the end of August. Perine was on the Packers practice squad, but they needed to move him in order to make room for tight […]

Will Smith Takes A Seat On Tuesday

Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Will Smith is out of the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Chicago Cubs. This looks like a rest game for Smith after he went hitless with two strikeouts during Monday's game. In his place, Austin Barnes will do the catching and bat ninth versus left-hander Shota Imanaga. Barnes […]

Teoscar Hernandez Remains Out

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernandez (ankle) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Chicago Cubs. This marks the fourth game in a row that Hernandez has missed after getting hit by a pitch on the ankle last Friday. The Dodgers haven't placed Hernandez on the injured list yet, but […]

Luis Castillo Goes To Injured List

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Luis Castillo (hamstring) has been placed on the 15-day injured list on Tuesday. Ugh, this news comes after Castillo left early during Sunday's game due to a hamstring issue. After undergoing further testing it was determined that Castillo suffered a Grade 2 hamstring strain. At this point in the season it's […]

Lawrence Butler Out On Tuesday

Oakland Athletics outfielder Lawrence Butler (illness) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Houston Astros. It sounds like Butler caught an illness that is going around the clubhouse. A's manager Mark Kotsay said he's hopeful that Butler can return on Wednesday. In the meantime, Seth Brown will cover right field […]

Joey Loperfido Back In The Lineup

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Joey Loperfido is back in the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the New York Mets. The rookie slugger sat out on Monday, which appears to have been a routine rest game. He'll return to the lineup on Tuesday, but he'll face left-hander David Peterson. Loperfido has limited playing time […]

Nolan Jones Heading To The Bench

Colorado Rockies outfielder Nolan Jones is absent from Tuesday's starting lineup against the Detroit Tigers. It's a bit odd to see Jones sitting out against a right-handed starting pitcher. It has been a disappointing year for Jones who is hitting .212 with three home runs in 65 games this season. It's worth noting that Jones […]

Spencer Torkelson Scratched On Tuesday

Detroit Tigers first baseman Spencer Torkelson (illness) has been scratched from the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Colorado Rockies. Torkelson is one of a few players that are battling a minor illness on the Tigers roster. This isn't something that should sideline Torkelson for more than a few days. In his place, […]

Rico Dowdle Quiet In Season Opener

Dallas Cowboys running back Rico Dowdle didn't have the best start to his 2024 season. The 26-year-old was expected to split up the touches with veteran Ezekiel Elliott during Sunday's season opener. The two of them did split up the carries, but Dowdle failed to do much with them. He rushed eight times for 26 […]

Sean Clifford Named Backup Quarterback

Green Bay Packers quarterback Sean Clifford is set to be the backup option for the Week 2 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. It was uncertain who was going to start for the Packers with Jordan Love (ankle) facing a multiple week absence. Head coach Matt LaFleur cleared that up on Monday by naming Malik Willis […]

Terrell Edmunds Signs With Steelers

The Pittsburgh Steelers have signed safety Terrell Edmunds on Monday. The former first-round pick has been snagged by Pittsburgh off the Jacksonville Jaguars practice squad. Edmunds did suit up for the Jaguars in Week 1, but he only saw a handful of snaps. This is a welcoming sight for Edmunds as he played his first […]

Jaelan Phillips Limited On Monday

Miami Dolphins linebacker Jaelan Phillips (Achilles) was a limited participant during Monday's practice. This doesn't comes as much of a shock after Phillips was on a snap count during the season opener. The Dolphins don't want to push anything with Phillips dealing with a serious injury. He played 33 snaps on Sunday and recorded one […]

Kenneth Walker III Considered Day-To-Day

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (abdomen) looked good on the field during the season opener against the Denver Broncos on Sunday. Walker rushed for over 100 yards, but also picked up an injury in the fourth quarter. This doesn't sound like an injury that is going to sideline Walker for a lengthy amount […]

Yoan Moncada To Remain In Triple-A

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada (groin) is expected to remain in Triple-A for now, according to general manager Chris Getz. Moncada has been out since April due to a lingering groin strain. He's 9-for-26 with a home run in eight games with Triple-A Charlotte. For now, the White Sox want Moncada to continue […]

Freddy Fermin Resting On Monday

Kansas City Royals catcher Freddy Fermin is out of the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the New York Yankees. This appears to be a routine rest day for Fermin after he caught both games over the weekend. Fermin has been nice surprise to the Royals lineup this season. He's hitting .290 with six […]

Joey Bart Absent On Monday

Pittsburgh Pirates catcher Joey Bart is out of the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the Miami Marlins. The team will give Bart a rest day after he started in each of the last two games. This appears to be a routine rest day, so Bart should be back in the lineup after this […]

Teoscar Hernandez Remains Out On Monday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernandez (ankle) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the Chicago Cubs. Hernandez has been sidelined since exiting early during Friday's contest due to an ankle injury. The X-rays came back negative, so the team is calling it a left ankle contusion. The hope is that […]

Carlos Santana Returning On Monday

Minnesota Twins first baseman Carlos Santana (illness) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. The veteran switch-hitter sat out of Sunday's game due to a minor illness. Santana will cover first base and bat leadoff against left-hander Reid Detmers on Monday. The Twins have been having Santana […]

Anthony Volpe Heads To The Bench

New York Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe is absent from the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the Kansas City Royals. This appears to be a routine rest day for Volpe who has started in three straight games. The 23-year-old is in a bit of a slump as he's 2-for-15 over his last four games. […]

Jalen McMillan Catches Touchdown In Win

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Jalen McMillan made his NFL debut against the Washington Commanders on Sunday. The rookie wideout won the No. 3 spot behind Mike Evans and Chris Godwin to start the season. He was the clear third receiver on this offense during Sunday's game. McMillan hauled in one of his three targets […]
