Zach Ertz Won't Play On Saturday

Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz was not seen at practice and won't be available for the upcoming preseason matchup against the Miami Dolphins. Fantasy managers don't need to worry as his absence isn't injury related. Head coach Dan Quinn confirmed that Ertz is fine and is away from the team for personal reasons. Quinn […]

Tyrone Tracy Jr. Making Progress

New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. (ankle) appears to be in good shape after his incident a few days ago. The rookie back was carted off the field during Tuesday's practice due to an ankle injury. Now, Tracy was seen running and cutting on the field with the training staff on Thursday. This […]

Baker Mayfield Sitting For Second Preseason Game

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield will head to the bench for Saturday's preseason game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. It sounds like the Bucs are going with the same strategy as last week. That means most of the starters are going to sit including Mayfield for the second straight week. It'll be Kyle Trask and […]

Matthew Stafford Absent During Walkthrough

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford (hamstring) wasn't present during Thursday's walkthrough. This isn't shocking news after Stafford exited early during Wednesday's practice due to hamstring tightness. Head coach Sean McVay said Stafford was removed for precautionary reasons. He added that Stafford should return to practice at some point next week. This sounds like a […]

Jordan Addison Avoids Serious Injury

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison (ankle) appears to have avoided a serious injury after exiting Wednesday's training camp practice. It has been an awful couple of days for the Vikings organization. However, there is somewhat good news regarding the status of Addison. Head coach Kevin O'Connell says that Addison has avoided a major ankle […]

Justin Simmons Signing With Falcons

The Atlanta Falcons are signing free-agent safety Justin Simmons to a one-year deal. It has been a wild 24 hours for the Falcons. They traded for frustrated pass-rusher Matthew Judon from the New England Patriots. Now, they make another upgrade on defense by adding two-time Pro Bowler Simmons into the mix. It'll be a one-year […]

Russell Wilson To Start On Saturday

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson (calf) will be under center during Saturday's preseason matchup against the Buffalo Bills. Head coach Mike Tomlin said Wilson will participate in the game as long as he doesn't suffer a setback. The veteran signal-caller has been dealing with a lingering calf issue in camp. Fantasy managers shouldn't worry as […]

Zach Neto Taking A Seat On Wednesday

Los Angeles Angels shortstop Zach Neto will head to the bench ahead of Wednesday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. This appears to be a routine rest day for Neto who has been on fire at the plate. He's hitting nearly .350 with six home runs and 22 RBI over his last 30 games. In […]

Will Warren Recalled, Starting On Wednesday

New York Yankees starting pitcher Will Warren has been recalled to take the mound against the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday. This appears to be a spot start for Warren, so fantasy managers looking for long term help aren't likely going to get it here. Warren has allowed 12 earned runs over two starts with […]

Walker Buehler Activated From Injured List

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Walker Buehler (hip) has been activated from the 15-day injured list on Wednesday. The 30-year-old is finally back after being sidelined since the middle of June due to a hip issue. Buehler will get the ball against the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday. Before going down, Buehler had a 5.84 ERA, […]

Giancarlo Stanton Gets A Breather

New York Yankees designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton is out of the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Chicago White Sox. The veteran slugger will get a routine rest day after going 1-for-8 over the last two games. The 34-year-old is unlikely to ever get back to his All-Star form, but he at least […]

Javier Baez Scratched On Wednesday

Detroit Tigers shortstop Javier Baez has been scratched from the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Seattle Mariners. The organization has not said why Baez has been pulled from the lineup yet. Regardless, his absence from the lineup won't matter much considering Baez has been awful this season. Zach McKinstry will take over […]

Lourdes Gurriel Jr. Returning On Tuesday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. (hamstring) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Colorado Rockies. The 30-year-old made an early exit on Sunday due to hamstring tightness. Luckily, Gurriel was only forced to miss one game as sometimes hamstring issues can linger for a few weeks. Gurriel is expected […]

Eloy Jimenez Gets Breather

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Eloy Jimenez is out of the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Washington Nationals. The O's have decided to give the oft-injured slugger the day off after he started in four straight games. Jimenez is off to a hot start with his new team. He's 12-for-24 with four RBI in […]

Jazz Chisholm Jr. Likely Headed To Injured List

New York Yankees infielder/outfielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. (elbow) is expected to be placed on the injured list, according to manager Aaron Boone. This is not the news fantasy managers wanted to hear right now. Chisholm was off to an excellent start with the Bronx Bombers. He was hitting over .300 with seven home runs and […]

Logan O'Hoppe Back In The Lineup

Los Angeles Angels catcher Logan O'Hoppe (knee) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. This is good news for fantasy managers after O'Hoppe was forced to exit early on Monday due to a knee issue. It's nice to see O'Hoppe back in the lineup as sometimes knee […]

Manny Machado Returns To The Lineup

San Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado is back in the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The All-Star slugger will return to the hot corner after getting a rest day on Monday. His return will send Donovan Solano back to the bench. Machado didn't have the ideal first half of […]

Bradley Blalock Recalled, Starting On Monday

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Bradley Blalock has been recalled from Double-A to make his first career start against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Blalock was acquired by the team a few weeks ago as part of a deal for right-hander Nick Mears. Blalock had a 4.36 ERA and 1.32 WHIP across 18 starts in Double-A this season. […]

Lourdes Gurriel Jr. Remains Sidelined

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. (hamstring) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the Colorado Rockies. This isn't shocking news considering Gurriel was forced to exit early on Sunday due to a hamstring issue. The D-Backs appear to be taking the cautious approach and giving Gurriel a day off to […]

Victor Robles Signs Two-Year Extension

Seattle Mariners outfielder Victor Robles has signed a two-year extension with the organization. The 27-year-old gets a $9.75 million extension with a $9 million option for the 2027 season. What a turnaround for Robles who was cut by the Washington Nationals earlier in the season. He's slashing .303/.372/.450 in 42 contests since joining the Mariners. […]

Manny Machado Absent On Monday

San Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado is out of the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. This appears to be a regular rest day for Machado after he recorded three hits during their last series. Despite that, Machado has done a fairly nice job with the bat since the All-Star […]

Luis Robert Jr. Taking A Seat On Monday

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. is out of the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the New York Yankees. The star outfielder will get a breather here after going 2-for-35 in his first eight games of August. It has been a tough year for Robert but hopefully he can finish the year […]

Max Scherzer To Undergo Further Testing

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Max Scherzer (arm) has been sidelined nearly two weeks due to fatigue issues. It sounds like the veteran right-hander is not responded well to the extra time off. That being said, Scherzer will head back to Texas for further testing. Scherzer is eligible to return from the injured list on Thursday. […]

Joe Musgrove Activated, Starting On Monday

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Joe Musgrove (elbow) has been activated from the 60-day injured list on Monday. The right-hander will take the ball for the first time since going down in late May due to an elbow issue. He'll take the mound in a favorable matchup against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Musgrove has struggled during […]

Hunter Brown Notches Nine Strikeouts In Win

Houston Astros starting pitcher Hunter Brown continued his fantastic turnaround season against the Boston Red Sox on Sunday. The right-hander struck out nine batters while allowing only two runs over 5 1/3 innings of work in the win. Brown had a 9.78 ERA heading into May and he has lowered that to 3.96 after his […]

DL Hall Records Nine Strikeouts

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher DL Hall made his first start since coming off the injured list on Sunday. The left-hander struck out nine batters while allowing three runs in 4 2/3 innings of work in a no-decision. His last start came in late April so it's surprising that the Brewers let Hall throw 92 pitches […]

Juan Soto Hits Two Homers On Sunday

New York Yankees outfielder Juan Soto came ready to play during Sunday's game against the Texas Rangers. The slugging outfielder went 2-for-5 at the plate with two home runs in the win. Soto continues to be one of the best players in the league as he's setting himself up nicely for free agency this winter. […]

Jorge Soler Homers Twice

Atlanta Braves outfielder Jorge Soler brought the power with him for the weekend series against the Colorado Rockies. On Sunday, Soler went 2-for-4 with two home runs and four RBI in the loss. This is now four homers for Soler over the last three days. However, we'll see how he does once the Braves leave […]

Spencer Schwellenbach Tosses Quality Start

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Spencer Schwellenbach was sharp on the mound during Sunday's outing against the Colorado Rockies. The rookie right-hander struck out seven batters while allowing two runs over six innings of work in a no-decision. Schwellenbach has pitched well this season, but the Braves offense never seems to give him much support. He'll […]

Victor Vodnik Notches Eighth Save

Colorado Rockies relief pitcher Victor Vodnik was called upon to protect a one-run lead against the Atlanta Braves on Sunday. The right-hander managed to work around a hit and earn his eighth save of the season. The Rockies have struggled to find a closer all season long, but maybe Vodnik is the answer. He's a […]
