Reds-Pirates Postponed On Saturday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts (illness) has been scratched from the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Colorado Rockies.

Houston Texans kicker Jake Bates has been waived by the organization on Saturday. The 23-year-old was brought in this offseason to give some competition to Ka'imi Fairbairn at the kicker spot. Bates connected on 2-of-3 extra point attempts during Thursday's preseason opener. It appears the Texans have seen enough as they've decided to move on […]

Jeff Driskel Dealing With Injury

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jeff Driskel (calf) did not suit up for Friday's preseason opener versus the Denver Broncos. The 30-year-old was held out of the contest due to a strained calf.

Jacob Phillips Done For The Season

Cleveland Browns linebacker Jacob Phillips (pectoral) is done for the 2023-2024 season before it really begins. The 24-year-old suffered a torn pectoral muscle, which is going to cost him the whole season. This is a tough blow to the Browns as Phillips was set to play a big role on defense this season. The former […]

Browns Sign Jordan Wilkins

The Cleveland Browns have agreed to a deal with free-agent running back Jordan Wilkins on Saturday. This news comes after Wilkins visited with the organization on Wednesday.

Oakland Athletics outfielder Esteury Ruiz is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Washington Nationals. This appears to be a routine rest day for the 24-year-old speedster.

Luis Robert Jr. Remains Out Of The Lineup

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. (finger) remains out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers.

For now, […]

Maikel Garcia Absent On Saturday

Kansas City Royals third baseman Maikel Garcia was forced to exit early during Friday's game due to upper body discomfort. The Royals have decided to give him another day off to rest on Saturday.

David Moore Finishes With 66 Yards

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver David Moore was able to make the most of his chances during the preseason opener versus the Pittsburgh Steelers on Friday.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Trey Palmer got his first taste of NFL action during Friday's preseason opener versus the Pittsburgh Steelers. The 22-year-old has reportedly been impressing the coaching staff during camp. He looked good on Friday as he hauled in all four of his targets for 33 yards and one touchdown in the […]

Ke'Shawn Vaughn Does Little In Loss

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ke'Shawn Vaughn is competing for a depth role on the 53-man roster. The 26-year-old is a former third-round pick of the team from the 2020 draft. Since being drafted, Vaughn has seen little involvement on the team during his three seasons. On Friday, Vaughn rushed seven times for four yards […]

Kyle Trask Takes A Step Back

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Kyle Trask came in to relieve Baker Mayfield during Friday's preseason opener versus the Pittsburgh Steelers. The 25-year-old threw an interception on his first drive. It didn't get much better from there as he took three sacks over the next three series. He completed 6-of-10 passing attempts for 99 yards and […]

Baker Mayfield Impressive In Preseason Opener

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield made his team debut against the Pittsburgh Steelers during the preseason opener on Friday.

Brock Purdy Won't Play In Preseason Opener

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (elbow) won't suit up for Sunday's preseason opener versus the Las Vegas Raiders.

In the meantime, Trey Lance […]

Travis Kelce To Play In Preseason Opener

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is expected to play during Sunday's preseason opener versus the New Orleans Saints. Head coach Andy Reid said the starters are in line to play about a quarter on Sunday. However, that doesn't mean Kelce is going to play the entire first quarter. The superstar tight end is […]

Trey Lance To Start Preseason Opener

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Trey Lance has been named the starter for Sunday's preseason opener versus the Las Vegas Raiders. The team hasn't announced how long Lance will play, but it'll likely only be a series or two.

Jaire Alexander Dealing With Groin Issue

Green Bay Packers defensive back Jaire Alexander (groin) won't play during Friday's preseason opener. Alexander was forced to miss practice twice this week due to an ongoing groin issue. Its worth noting that Alexander missed one game last season due to a groin injury. Although, it doesn't sound like the injury is too serious right […]

Mike Trout Hitting Off Machine

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (wrist) has progressed to hitting off a pitching machine on Friday. The 32-year-old recently took some swings with soft-toss, but now is taking a step forward and hitting against a machine. It's worth noting that the machine only threw breaking balls to Trout. The superstar slugger hasn't advanced to […]

Austin Hays Absent On Friday

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Austin Hays is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Seattle Mariners. The 28-year-old has been dealing with general soreness lately, but this absence doesn't appear to be injury related.

Max Muncy Sitting Out Versus Lefty

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Max Muncy will take a seat for Friday's game against the Colorado Rockies. Manager Dave Roberts has decided to play matchups and exclude Muncy from Friday's starting lineup. Instead, Kike Hernandez will cover third base and bat fifth versus left-hander Austin Gomber. Fantasy managers should adjust their lineups accordingly with Muncy […]

Jose Abreu Remains Out On Friday

Houston Astros first baseman Jose Abreu (back) remains out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. The veteran slugger missed Thursday's game due to lower back discomfort. It appears this issue is still bothering him, so he'll miss at least one more game. This seems like a day-to-day type of […]

J.P. Crawford Placed On 7-Day Concussion List

Seattle Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford (head) has been placed on the 7-day concussion injured list ahead of Friday's game. Crawford was pulled out of Wednesday's game after colliding with teammate Eugenio Suarez. This is a shame considering Crawford is playing extremely well right now. He's slashing .266/.379.411 with 10 home runs and 38 RBI in […]

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. (finger) is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers.
