Kristaps Porzingis Expected To Be Ready For Training Camp

Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (foot) has decided to sit out the upcoming FIBA World Cup due to injury. The big man is dealing with plantar fasciitis and is expected to miss four to six weeks for rehab. This is certainly frustrating news, but it sounds like Porzingis should be ready in time for training […]

James Outman Sitting Versus Lefty

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder James Outman is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. This appears to be a matchup move to stack the lineup with right-handed hitters versus left-hander Wade Miley. Chris Taylor and Kike Hernandez will move into the outfield with Outman and Jason Heyward sitting out on […]

Aaron Hicks Remains Out On Wednesday

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Aaron Hicks (back) remains out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the San Diego Padres. He'll miss his second straight game after suffering a back injury during his return from the injured list on Monday. Luckily, it doesn't sound like Hicks is going to require another stint on the injured […]

Eloy Jimenez Absent On Wednesday

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez (groin) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Chicago Cubs. The 26-year-old is dealing with a groin issue, so the White Sox will give him a rest day here. Fantasy managers should consider Jimenez as day-to-day, so hopefully he'll return soon. The expectation is that […]

Osvaldo Bido Rejoins Starting Rotation

Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Osvaldo Bido is scheduled to make the start against the Minnesota Twins on Sunday. The 27-year-old was recalled this past weekend, but has mainly been serving in a relief role. The right-hander holds a 5.05 ERA, 1.42 WHIP, and 37/15 K/BB ratio across 12 games (eight starts) with the Pirates this season. […]

Jose Siri Exits Early On Wednesday

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Jose Siri (hand) was forced to exit early during Wednesday's game against the San Francisco Giants. It sounds like the 28-year-old suffered a hand injury while sliding into second base. The Rays decided to replace Siri with Luke Raley to begin the sixth inning. At the moment, it sounds like Siri […]

Drew Smyly Expected To Rejoin Starting Rotation

Chicago Cubs pitcher Drew Smyly is likely to rejoin the starting rotation, according to manager David Ross. The Cubs are expected to be without Marcus Stroman (ribs) for the foreseeable future. That being said, the Cubs have a void to fill, so they will likely go with Smyly until Stroman is ready. This season, Smyly […]

Javelin Guidry Expected To Need Surgery

New York Jets defensive back Javelin Guidry (knee) was hurt during joint practice on Wednesday. The expectation is that the 25-year-old is going to require knee surgery. That being said, Guidry is likely to land on the injured reserve, which would end his season. It's a shame considering Guidry was putting together a solid training […]

Jaire Alexander Participates In Drills

Green Bay Packers defensive back Jaire Alexander (foot) was able to line up with the starting defense during Wednesday's practice. He went and did individual drills afterwards, but it was good to see him back at practice. This is good news after Alexander missed the first preseason game due to injury. It sounds like he's […]

Micah Parsons Back To Full Strength

Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons (leg) was back in full pads for the beginning of Wednesday's practice. This is good news after Parsons was forced to exit early on Tuesday due to a leg issue. Parsons needed to get his leg wrapped after getting kicked accidentally. However, it appears that this was only a minor […]

Brock Purdy Uncertain To Play Saturday

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (elbow) is uncertain to suit up for Saturday's preseason matchup against the Denver Broncos. The 23-year-old was recently cleared to practice on consecutive days after being limited during training camp. He didn't play in the first preseason game, but has been cleared for everything after undergoing surgery in March. […]

Damien Harris Returns To Practice On Wednesday

Buffalo Bills running back Damien Harris (knee) was able to return to the practice field on Wednesday. The 26-year-old was held out of practice on Tuesday after suffering a minor knee injury last week. Despite that, head coach Sean McDermott has said that Harris is trending in the right direction. The fact he was able […]

Javier Assad Expected To Start On Wednesday

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Javier Assad is expected to take the ball against the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday. The expectation was that Marcus Stroman (hip) would return from the injured list on Wednesday, but that doesn't appear to be the case. It sounds like Stroman has suffered a setback, so Assad will make at […]

Edouard Julien Out On Tuesday

Minnesota Twins second baseman Edouard Julien (hamstring) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Detroit Tigers. It appears the 24-year-old is dealing with a hamstring issue, so the Twins will hold him out of the lineup. It's also worth noting that Julien is in a 1-for-16 slump, which could be part […]

Byron Buxton Will Require Rehab Assignment

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton (hamstring) was placed on the injured list in early August due to a lingering hamstring issue. His timetable to return has been uncertain, but manager Rocco Baldelli cleared it up on Tuesday. Baldelli said that Buxton will need to go on a rehab assignment before returning to the Twins roster. […]

J.D. Martinez In The Lineup On Tuesday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder J.D. Martinez (hamstring) is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. The veteran slugger has been bothered by a lingering hamstring issue since late July. Martinez has avoided the injured list, but continues to miss time because of these problems. Hopefully, the injuries are behind him as […]

C.J. Cron To Play On Tuesday

Los Angeles Angels first baseman C.J. Cron (back) is returning to the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Texas Rangers. The 33-year-old makes his return to the lineup after missing each of the last two games due to back tightness. Luckily, it appears to be a minor issue that won't require a trip to […]

Trent Grisham Sitting Out On Tuesday

San Diego Padres outfielder Trent Grisham is absent from Tuesday's starting lineup versus the Baltimore Orioles. Normally, Grisham is in there against right-handed starters, but it appears he'll get a rest day here. Instead, Ben Gamel will cover right field and bat ninth versus right-hander Jack Flaherty. Fantasy managers should adjust their lineups accordingly with […]

Michael Wacha Officially Activated, Starting On Tuesday

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Michael Wacha (shoulder) has been officially activated from the 15-day injured list on Tuesday. The right-hander has been sidelined since early July due to inflammation in his pitching shoulder. Wacha will take the ball versus the Baltimore Orioles in his return to the mound on Tuesday. Before going down, Wacha […]

76ers Expect James Harden To Appear At Training Camp

Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden recently called the team's lead executive Daryl Morey a liar. This comes after the team said they weren't pursuing any trades involving Harden. The 33-year-old has said he has no plans of being at training camp. However, a player that decides to withhold their services for more than 30 days […]

Tacko Fall Remaining In China

Big man Tacko Fall has agreed to a contract with the Nanjing Monkey Kings in China. The 7-foot-6 center will play his second consecutive season in China after spending last year with Xinjiang. During that time, Fall averaged 13.8 points, 10.1 rebounds, 0.8 assists in 25.7 minutes per game over 33 contests. The 27-year-old hasn't […]

James Harden Calls Daryl Morey A Liar

Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden recently said that Daryl Morey is a liar and that he will not be part of any organization associated with Morey. This comes after a video surfaced about the Sixers organization saying they wouldn't be pursing trade talk involving Harden. This is obviously frustrating news to Harden who has made […]

Damien Harris Heading In Right Direction

Buffalo Bills running back Damien Harris (knee) was unable to practice on Sunday. However, head coach Sean McDermott said that Harris is heading in the right direction. Harris continues to deal with a lingering knee issue that held him out of the preseason opener on Saturday. Despite the injury, McDermott doesn't seem too worried about […]

Tyler Goodson Wearing Sling At Practice

Green Bay Packers running back Tyler Goodson (shoulder) was spotted wearing a sling during Sunday's practice. The 22-year-old suffered a shoulder injury during Friday's preseason opener. The team hasn't given a timetable for his return, but it appears he's going to miss some time. That being said, Patrick Taylor is looking like he has a […]

Cooper Kupp Unlikely To Practice This Week

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp (hamstring) is unlikely to participate in joint practices this week, according to head coach Sean McVay. The team was hopeful to get Kupp back for joint practices with the Las Vegas Raiders this week. However, it sounds like next week is a better timetable for Kupp's return to […]

Falcons Waive Mykal Walker

The Atlanta Falcons have waived linebacker Mykal Walker on Sunday. The team originally selected Walker in the fourth round of the 2020 draft. Walker recorded 107 tackles, one sack, and two interceptions in 16 games (12 starts) for the Falcons last season. It's a bit odd to see the Falcons moving on from Walker who […]

Ravens Claim Tae Hayes Off Waivers

The Baltimore Ravens have claimed defensive back Tae Hayes off waivers from the Detroit Lions on Sunday. The 25-year-old has bounced around quite a bit since joining the league in 2019. He has spent time with the Dolphins, Jaguars, Vikings, Panthers, and the Patriots during his three years in the league. Hayes has mainly been […]

MLB Looking Into Wander Franco Allegations

The Tampa Bay Rays released a statement on Sunday noting that the MLB is doing their due diligence regarding allegations surrounding shortstop Wander Franco. There were reports on social media that the 22-year-old reportedly had been involved in an inappropriate relationship with a minor. The Rays noted in a statement they were made aware of […]

Trevor May Struggles Versus Nationals

Oakland Athletics right-hander Trevor May was given the ball with a four-run lead during Sunday's game against the Washington Nationals. The right-hander proceeded to allow five runs (three earned) on three hits and two walks. It didn't help that the defense only made mistakes as well, but May wasn't helping himself on the mound. The […]

Carlos Estevez Records 25th Save

Los Angeles Angels relief pitcher Carlos Estevez was tasked with holding a one-run lead versus the Houston Astros on Sunday. The right-hander has put together some rough outings lately, but was able to get back on track here. Estevez only needed 12 pitches to retire all three batters in order, including two strikeouts. The 30-year-old […]
