Lawrence Butler Getting A Breather

Oakland Athletics outfielder Lawrence Butler is absent from the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the Chicago White Sox. Butler will receive a much-needed day off after playing in every game since the All-Star break. The left-handed slugger was hitting everything in sight towards the end of July. Since then, Butler has cooled off […]

Cody Bellinger To Remain As Designated Hitter

Chicago Cubs outfielder Cody Bellinger (finger) is expected to remain as the designated hitter for the time being. The left-handed slugger returned from a fractured index finger last week. Since then, Bellinger is 8-for-24 with two homers, so it doesn't appear that the injury is impacting his swing. However, the Cubs are keeping Bellinger at […]

Ian Happ Returning On Monday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Ian Happ (shoulder) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the Minnesota Twins. This is good news after Happ was scratched ahead of Sunday's contest due to shoulder soreness. He'll bat leadoff and play in left field versus right-hander David Festa on Monday. Normally, Mike Tauchman would head […]

Byron Buxton Removed Early On Sunday

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton was removed early during Sunday's game against the Chicago White Sox.

A.J. Puk Earns Save On Sunday

Arizona Diamondbacks relief pitcher A.J. Puk was called upon to hold a one-run lead versus the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday.

Ian Happ Scratched On Sunday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Ian Happ (shoulder) has been scratched from the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. The switch-hitter injured his shoulder while running into the wall during Saturday's game. It's believed to be a minor issue that will hopefully only force Happ to miss one game. In his absence, […]

Wilyer Abreu Hits A Pair Of Homers

Boston Red Sox outfielder Wilyer Abreu came ready to play during Sunday's game against the Texas Rangers. Abreu has been hot with the bat recently and that continued during Sunday's contest.

Wheeler has been hard to hit all […]

Rashid Shaheed Misses Another Practice

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Rashid Shaheed (hamstring) sat out his second straight practice on Sunday. The assumption was that Shaheed would return on Sunday after sitting out on Saturday for a rest day. Possibly, Shaheed is dealing with more serious of an issue then first reported. Once healthy, Shaheed is expected to fill the […]

Puka Nacua Exits Practice Early

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua (knee) was forced to exit early during Sunday's practice session. The second-year wideout reportedly left with a knee injury after about an hour into drills.

Dawson Knox Sitting Out On Sunday

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox (groin, rest) didn't suit up for Sunday's practice session. Head coach Sean McDermott said that this was a rest day for the veteran tight end.

Xavier Legette Considered As Day-To-Day

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette (leg) was forced to exit early during practice on Sunday. The 23-year-old appears to have suffered a lower leg injury, but head coach Dave Canales didn't seem too concerned.

Brandon Aiyuk Could Be Traded

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk could be on the move before the regular season begins. The stud wideout has reported to training camp but continues to sit out while he awaits a new contract. It doesn't sound like the two sides are too close on a new deal which could mean the 49ers […]

Ke'Bryan Hayes Getting Rest Day

Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes is out of the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Hayes will get a routine rest day after playing in nine straight games. During that time, Hayes struggled with a .229 batting average and two RBI. He could use a day off to get himself […]

Ryan Mountcastle Getting Breather

Baltimore Orioles first baseman Ryan Mountcastle is absent from the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's contest against the Cleveland Guardians. This appears to be a routine rest day after Mountcastle played in eight straight games. He collected eight hits and nine RBI over that span of games. In his place, Eloy Jimenez will serve as […]

George Springer Resting On Sunday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer is out of the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the New York Yankees. The veteran outfielder returned from a shin injury on Saturday. That being said, Springer appears to be getting a routine rest day here, so fantasy managers shouldn't need to worry about the injury anymore. […]

Max Kepler Returning To The Lineup

Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler (head) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Chicago White Sox. Kepler was held out of the lineup for a few games after getting hit in the head earlier in the week. Kepler was able to come off the bench and play during Saturday's game. […]

Andrew Vaughn Back In The Lineup

Chicago White Sox first baseman Andrew Vaughn (illness) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Minnesota Twins.

He'll make his return to the lineup after missing four games due to knee soreness. He'll bat seventh and cover center field versus right-hander Ryne Nelson.

Wyatt Langford Remains Out On Sunday

Texas Rangers outfielder Wyatt Langford (back) is absent from the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Boston Red Sox.

Andrew McCutchen Sitting On Sunday

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Andrew McCutchen (quad) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Unsurprisingly, McCutchen will take a seat after exiting early on Saturday due to tightness in his quad. For now, McCutchen is considered as day-to-day, but that could change. Bryan De La Cruz will play in […]

Jayden Daniels Will Play In Preseason Opener

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels is set to play in the team's first preseason game against the New York Jets. This isn't shocking news after Daniels was taken as the No. 2 overall selection in this year's draft. He will get his first taste of NFL action next weekend as the organization is hopeful Daniels […]

Josh Jacobs Returns To Practice

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (groin) was back on the practice field this weekend. This is good news after Jacobs missed practice on Thursday due to a minor groin issue.

Jaylen Wright Impressing In Camp

Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright has impressed the coaching staff early in training camp.

The fourth-round rookie appears ready to make an impact on the field, but will have to battle for snaps. Both Raheem […]

Tyrone Tracy Jr. Favorite For No. 2 Role

New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. has reportedly been impressing the organization early in training camp. The fifth-round rookie appears to be taking the lead in the competition for the second string job in the backfield. Tracy's ability in the short yardage passing game appears to be giving him the advantage over Eric […]

Cade Otton Could See Increased Involvement

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton could be utilized differently under new offensive coordinator Liam Coen. This new system is reportedly going to have a bunch of shifts and motions to bait defenses. It's structured to give playmakers space and create advantages in matchups. Otton praised this scheme and said it allows players to […]

Jauan Jennings Returning To Practice

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (ankle) is back to participating in practice on Saturday. This comes a day after Jennings was limited to side work due to a minor ankle issue.
