Nyheim Hines Gets Eight Carries

Indianapolis Colts running back Nyheim Hines saw plenty of action during Saturday's preseason matchup against the Buffalo Bills. The 25-year-old rushed eight times for 26 yards and hauled in two receptions for an additional 13 yards. The reps were there for Hines, but he failed to make much of an impact in this one. Fellow […]

Sam Ehlinger Tosses Two Touchdowns

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Sam Ehlinger put together a fairly solid performance during Saturday's preseason matchup against the Buffalo Bills. The 23-year-old completed 10-of-11 passing attempts for 88 yards and two touchdowns in the loss. Earlier this offseason, there were some rumors that Ehlinger could be the starter for the Colts. Those reports are now long […]

Ryan Pressly Unavailable For Saturday's Contest

Houston Astros relief pitcher Ryan Pressly (neck) is unavailable to pitch during Saturday's game against the Oakland Athletics. Manager Dusty Baker will give Pressly the day off as he deals with a neck issue. This doesn't sound like the type of issue that is going to cost Pressly a trip to the injured list. Fantasy […]

Blake Treinen Sharp During Rehab Outing

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Blake Treinen (shoulder) fired a perfect inning during Friday's minor league rehab game with Triple-A Oklahoma City. It only took him nine pitches to retire all the batters he faced on Friday. The expectation is that he'll need a few more outings before he's ready to return to the Dodgers […]

Austin Meadows Hitless In Rehab Game

Detroit Tigers outfielder Austin Meadows (Achilles) went hitless during his rehab game at Triple-A Toledo on Friday. The 27-year-old is working his way back from an injury that has sidelined him a majority of the season. He's hitting .250/.347/.328 with no homers and 11 RBI through 36 games this season. It has been a tough […]

Harold Ramirez To Take Batting Practice On Saturday

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Harold Ramirez (thumb) is set to take batting practice prior to Saturday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. He'll likely head out on a minor league rehab assignment following that, assuming everything goes well. Ramirez has been sidelined since July 17 with a broken thumb. Prior to that, he was hitting .329/.379/.446 […]

David Peralta Out On Saturday

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder David Peralta (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. Manager Kevin Cash has opted to give some of his left-handed batters a rest against southpaw DL Hall. Roman Quinn will cover right field and bat eighth in this game. Fantasy managers should expect Peralta […]

Brandon Lowe Absent On Saturday

Tampa Bay Rays second baseman Brandon Lowe (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. Lowe will take a seat against left-hander DL Hall. In his place, Yu Chang will bat leadoff and cover second base for Saturday's contest. Lowe is hitting .275/.333/.450 with three homers and 12 RBI […]

Kole Calhoun Not Close To A Return

Texas Rangers outfielder Kole Calhoun (heel) landed on the injured list on August 4, but the severity of the injury remains a mystery. The organization was hopeful it would only require a minimal stint on the injured list. Well, Calhoun has not participated in any baseball activities since going down. The longer it takes will […]

Tyler Wells Continues Making Progress

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Tyler Wells (oblique) was able to throw long toss prior to Saturday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. The right-hander has been sidelined since late July due to a Grade 1 oblique strain. Wells has been making progress and is hopeful to get back on the mound before the end of […]

Cedric Mullins Gets Off Day

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Cedric Mullins (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. The left-handed slugger will get a well-deserved day of rest. Ryan McKenna will cover center field and bat leadoff against left-hander Shane McClanahan on Saturday. This is not a favorable spot for McKenna, so fantasy […]

Taylor Trammell Activated, Optioned To Minors

Seattle Mariners outfielder Taylor Trammell (hamstring) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Saturday. The team has also optioned him to Triple-A Tacoma following his activation. There is not enough room for Trammell on the roster with Julio Rodriguez and Mitch Haniger back healthy. He'll continue to play in the minors, but should […]

Manuel Margot To Begin Playing At Triple-A

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Manuel Margot (knee) has been playing at the Rays' rookie-level Florida Complex League affiliate. However, it appears that Margot is ready for some higher-competition during his rehab assignment. The fact he's being moved up to a higher level is a great sign. The right-handed slugger is eligible to return as early […]

Whit Merrifield To Sit Out On Saturday

Toronto Blue Jays second baseman Whit Merrifield (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Cleveland Guardians. This is the second rest day this week for the 31-year-old slugger. Clearly, Merrifield isn't a fixture in the lineup like he was with Kansas City. It's also worth noting that Merrifield is having […]

Cardinals Hopeful Steven Matz Can Return This Season

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Steven Matz (knee) has a chance of returning to the mound this season. Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol is optimistic that Matz will return after tearing his MCL earlier this season. It sounds like the southpaw is making solid progress since his injury back on July 24. He was pitching fairly […]

Kyle Muller Recalled, Starting Saturday

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Kyle Muller will take the mound for the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Miami Marlins. Right-hander Ian Anderson will serve as the 27th man, so possibly Muller sticks around longer than one start. The 24-year-old holds a 3.27 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 122/27 K/BB ratio over 99 innings in […]

Joey Wendle Not Starting On Saturday

Miami Marlins infielder Joey Wendle (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Atlanta Braves. Fantasy managers should expect Wendle's playing time to take a hit with Jon Berti returning from the injured list. The Marlins will move Wendle back to his utility role, which will likely cut down on his […]

Garrett Cooper Is Back In The Lineup

Miami Marlins first baseman Garrett Cooper (calf) will return to the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Atlanta Braves. He departed early during Thursday's game and sat out of Friday's contest. The good news is, Cooper is back and batting third against left-hander Kyle Muller on Saturday. Fantasy managers should make sure to get […]

Eddie Rosario Sitting Out First Game Of Doubleheader

Atlanta Braves outfielder Eddie Rosario (rest) is not in the starting lineup for the first game of the doubleheader on Saturday. The Braves have been platooning Rosario with Robbie Grossman in left field. Left-hander Jesus Luzardo is on the mound for the Miami Marlins during the first game. That being said, Robbie Grossman will cover […]

Elijah Mitchell Likely To Sit Out Preseason

San Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell (hamstring) is expected to miss the entire preseason. Mitchell has been limited during training camp while he recovers from knee surgery. This hamstring issue is a new problem that will probably sideline him until Week 1. Fantasy managers could see Mitchell limited to begin the season, but this […]

Baker Mayfield To Start In Preseason Opener

Carolina Panthers quarterback Baker Mayfield will make the start under center during Saturday's preseason matchup against the Washington Commanders. It sounds like Mayfield will play the first series before Sam Darnold takes over. The two of them have been splitting up the reps during training camp. Right now, it appears Mayfield has the edge over […]

Evan McPherson Connects On Three Kicks

Cincinnati Bengals kicker Evan McPherson doesn't appear to have lost a step heading into the 2022 campaign. The fifth-round kicker had a surprising breakout campaign last season. Now, there is more pressure on McPherson with everyone watching as he has become one of the more reliable kickers in the game. On Friday, McPherson connected on […]

Michael Kopech Throws Six No-Hit Innings

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Michael Kopech was in a groove during Friday's game against the Detroit Tigers. The young right-hander went six innings, allowing no hits, and struck out 11 batters. Sadly, the White Sox decided to pull Kopech after throwing 85 pitches in this contest. Luckily, the bullpen didn't blow this contest and […]

Carlos Estevez Records Save On Friday

Colorado Rockies relief pitcher Carlos Estevez was handed the ball in the ninth inning of Friday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The 29-year-old tossed a scoreless ninth inning to record his second save of the season. It was a bit odd to see Estevez out there instead of Daniel Bard. It sounds like this was […]

Jordan Montgomery Tosses Six Shutout Innings

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Jordan Montgomery looked fantastic during Friday's start against the Milwaukee Brewers. The left-hander went six scoreless innings, four hits allowed, and struck out eight batters in the victory. The 29-year-old is looking like a great addition to the roster. He's currently carrying a 3.37 ERA, 1.07 WHIP, and 106 strikeouts […]

Ryan Helsley Looks Sharp On Friday

St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher Ryan Helsley put together a masterful performance against the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday. The right-hander struck out three batters over two innings of work in the victory. He earned his 12th save of the season and is showing no signs of slowing down. Helsley now holds an incredible 0.76 ERA, […]

Omar Narvaez Nearing Rehab Assignment

Milwaukee Brewers catcher Omar Narvaez (quad) is roughly a week away from beginning a rehab assignment, according to manager Craig Counsell. The 30-year-old has been sidelined since August 4 due to a left quad strain. The expectation is that he'll report to Triple-A Nashville within the next week. He should only need a few games […]

Garrett Cooper To Remain Out On Friday

Miami Marlins first baseman Garrett Cooper (calf) will remain out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Atlanta Braves. He was forced to depart early during Thursday's game due to a calf injury. The organization is considering Cooper's status day-to-day, but he might end up on the injured list. Lewin Diaz will play […]

Jesse Winker To Return On Friday

Seattle Mariners outfielder Jesse Winker (back) will return to the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Texas Rangers. He exited early on Monday due to back spasms and ended up missing the rest of the series. It looks like Winker is well rested and ready to get back on the field. He'll bat cleanup […]

Jon Berti Activated From Injured List

Miami Marlins infielder Jon Berti (groin) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Friday. He missed nearly a month of action due to a left groin strain. Berti will bat second and play second base versus right-hander Jake Odorizzi on Friday. It'll be interesting to see if Berti continues to steal bases at […]
