Byron Buxton Placed on 10-Day Injured List

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton (rib) was placed on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to July 27.

This is a shame considering Buxton was actually doing […]

Tanner Scott Begins Throwing Progression

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Tanner Scott (elbow) began a throwing progression on Tuesday, according to manager Dave Roberts.

Aaron Judge Hopeful to Return in Early August

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (elbow) landed on the 10-day injured list over the weekend. This is obviously a tough blow to the Yankees, but the organization is hopeful that it'll be a short stint on the shelf. Yankees' manager Aaron Boone said on Tuesday that Judge should ramp up his activities soon and […]

Ryan Helsley Drawing Interest From Blue Jays

St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher Ryan Helsley has been a hot name ahead of this Thursday's trade deadline. The two-time All-Star is on an expiring deal and could be a legitimate back-end bullpen option for many contending teams. This season, Helsley holds a 3.00 ERA, 1.38 WHIP, and a 41/14 K/BB ratio with 21 saves […]

Salvador Perez Returning on Tuesday

Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez (elbow) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Braves. Perez won't miss any time after making an early exit from Monday's game. He was pulled out from that contest after getting hit by a pitch in the elbow. Perez appears good to go […]

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (head) remains out of the starting lineup for both games of Tuesday's doubleheader versus the Baltimore Orioles.

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Kris Bubic (shoulder) will miss the rest of the regular season, according to manager Matt Quatraro. Bubic was placed on the 15-day injured list after being diagnosed with a left rotator cuff strain on Sunday. Sadly, there isn't enough time for Bubic to heal up and return to the mound […]

Danny Jansen Traded to Brewers

Tampa Bay Rays catcher Danny Jansen was traded to the Milwaukee Brewers on Monday. In exchange, the Rays will receive infielder Jadher Areinamo from Milwaukee. Areinamo is ranked No. 24 in the Brewers farm system, so not a bad deal for Jansen who is on an expiring deal. This deal gives the Brewers more depth […]

Jed Hoyer Receives Extension From Cubs

The Chicago Cubs have agreed on a multi-year extension with president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer on Monday. The exact details of the deal weren't announced, but Hoyer was in his final year of his five-year deal before signing this new contract.

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy (knee) is scheduled to begin a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday.

Houston Astros shortstop Jeremy Pena (ribs) was able to do a workout with the team ahead of Monday's game against the Washington Nationals.

Reese Olson Out for Rest of Regular Season

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Reese Olson (shoulder) was placed on the 60-day injured list on Monday. This move means Olson will be sidelined at least through the rest of the regular season.

Luis Robert Jr. Avoids Significant Injury

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. (forearm) appears to have avoided any major injuries after getting hit by a pitch during Sunday's game against the Chicago Cubs. Robert made his return to the lineup on Sunday after missing the two previous games due to a groin issue. He took a fastball off the forearm […]

Erick Fedde Traded to Braves

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Erick Fedde was traded to the Atlanta Braves on Sunday. This comes a few days after Fedde was designated for assignment by the Cardinals.

Braden Montgomery Promoted to Double-A

Chicago White Sox outfielder Braden Montgomery was promoted to Double-A Birmingham on Sunday. This didn't take long as Montgomery earned a promotion from Single-A in less than one season of pro ball.

Mark Vientos Absent on Sunday

New York Mets third baseman Mark Vientos is out of the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the San Francisco Giants.

Kyle Bradish Making Rehab Start on Tuesday

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Kyle Bradish (elbow) is scheduled to make another minor league rehab start with Double-A Chesapeake on Tuesday.

Yoan Moncada Absent on Sunday

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Yoan Moncada (hand) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Seattle Mariners. This news comes a day after Moncada was forced to exit early during Saturday's game after getting hit by a pitch in the hand. The X-rays came back negative, so it appears Moncada […]

Isaac Paredes Getting Second Opinion on Hamstring

Houston Astros third baseman Isaac Paredes (hamstring) could end up missing more time than first expected.

According to Alex Brasky, Buffalo Bills wide receiver Curtis Samuel (hamstring) won't participate in practice on Sunday.

Currently, Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, […]

D'Andre Swift Working in Two-Minute Drills

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift was working in two-minute drills during Saturday's practice. The lead back job remains up in the air right now, but Swift seems the most likely starter to open the season. Last season, Swift rushed for 959 yards with six touchdowns while hauling in 42 receptions for an additional 386 […]

Keaton Mitchell Struggling to Get Touches

According to Sarah Ellison, Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator told reporters Keaton Mitchell is fighting to get touches in the backfield right now. It's the simple fact that the Ravens don't really need a third string back at the moment. Derrick Henry is the workhorse back and Justice Hill has proven to be a versatile option […]

Adonai Mitchell Struggling in Camp

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Adonai Mitchell has reportedly struggled early in training camp. According to James Boyd, Mitchell dropped two passes during Saturday's practice. That now makes four dropped passes in four practices. Fantasy managers shouldn't read too much into this as it's still early in camp. Head coach Shane Steichen didn't seem bothered by […]

Pat Bryant Impressing in Camp

According to Zac Stevens, rookie wide receiver Pat Bryant has been impressing the organization early in training camp. Bryant is getting open, making plays, and showing he can be a legitimate threat in this offense right away. The Broncos used a third-round pick to select Bryant during this year's draft. He's currently slated as the […]

Jake Haener has Real Shot at Winning Starting Gig

New Orleans Saints quarterback Jake Haener reportedly has a real shot at winning the starting gig to begin the regular season. Haener has looked good during training camp and is reportedly making this a real three-man race.

Houston Astros starting pitcher Luis Garcia (elbow) looked sharp on the mound during Saturday's rehab start with Double-A Corpus Christi. Garcia threw 2.1 scoreless innings, allowing two hits, one walk, and striking out three batters. The right-hander threw 34 strikes across this 46-pitch outing. The fact he only threw two innings means Garcia will likely […]
