Brandon Drury To Serve As Designated Hitter

San Diego Padres infielder Brandon Drury is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Colorado Rockies. The veteran slugger was acquired by the Padres at the trade deadline on Tuesday.

Fernando Tatis Jr. Faces Live Pitching On Wednesday

San Diego Padres shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. (wrist) faced live pitching again on Wednesday. The superstar slugger took roughly six at-bats during his batting practice session. The next step should be Tatis heading out on a minor league rehab assignment. He has been sidelined all season long after having wrist surgery. It's uncertain how many […]

Jeremy McNichols Placed On Injured Reserve

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jeremy McNichols (shoulder) has been placed on the injured reserve. The 26-year-old has bounced around the league over the last five seasons. He saw a limited role with the Tennessee Titans over the last two years. Sadly, McNichols won't suit up in 2022 due to a shoulder injury. In a corresponding […]

Anthony Barr Signs With Cowboys

The Dallas Cowboys have agreed to a deal with linebacker Anthony Barr. The four-time Pro Bowl linebacker was surprisingly unsigned up to this point. To be fair, injuries have limited Barr during each of the last two seasons. Despite that, Barr finished with 72 tackles, 2.5 sacks, and five passes defended in 11 games with […]

Van Jefferson Has Realistic Chance To Return For Week 1

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Van Jefferson (knee) has a realistic chance to be ready to return for Week 1 after a successful surgery. The 26-year-old recently underwent surgery and it reportedly went great. He's not expected to need much time in order to get back up to speed. Jefferson isn't a lock to play […]

Chester Rogers Signs With Texans

Free-agent wide receiver Chester Rogers has agreed to a one-year deal with the Houston Texans. The 28-year-old visited with Houston on Monday, so apparently that went very well. This is a nice depth signing, but this won't mean too much in terms of fantasy football. Last season, Rogers finished with 30 receptions, 301 receiving yards, […]

Elijah Moore Could Emerge As No. 1 Option

New York Jets wide receiver Elijah Moore has established himself as a No. 1 option, according to Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic.

D.J. Humphries Gets Three-Year Extension

Arizona Cardinals offensive tackle D.J. Humphries has received a three-year extension from the organization. The 28-year-old was heading into the final year of his contract, but that changed quickly. Now, Humphries will remain with the Cardinals after signing a three-year deal worth $66.8 million. The former first round pick has been a reliable option at […]

Diontae Johnson, Steelers Not Close On Extension

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson is unlikely to sign an extension anytime soon. In fact, Gerry Dulac reports that Johnson and the Steelers are far apart on a new deal. At this point, it seems highly unlikely that Johnson gets an extension before Week 1. GM Omar Khan mentioned that he wants to get […]

Michael Fulmer Moved To Twins

Detroit Tigers relief pitcher Michael Fulmer has been traded to the Minnesota Twins. This adds on to the already big day for the Twins. The Tigers will receive right-hander Sawyer Gipson-Long in exchange for Fulmer. This season, Fulmer has a 3.20 ERA, 1.25 WHIP, and 39/20 K/BB ratio through 39.3 innings of work. The additions […]

Whit Merrifield Traded To Toronto

Kansas City Royals second baseman Whit Merrifield has been traded to the Toronto Blue Jays. This is a bit of an odd move considering Merrifield's vaccination status. All players who play in Toronto must be vaccinated and Merrifield missed a series earlier in Toronto due to his status. Regardless, the Royals will receive infielders Samad […]

Noah Syndergaard Heads To Philly

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Noah Syndergaard has been traded to the Philadelphia Phillies. The Angels will receive outfielders Mickey Moniak and Jadiel Sanchez in exchange for Syndergaard. The 29-year-old right-hander has a 3.83 ERA, 1.21 WHIP, and 64/22 K/BB ratio through 15 starts. This is a good move for the Phillies as they bolster […]

Harrison Bader Headed To Yankees

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Harrison Bader has been traded to the New York Yankees. In exchange, the Cardinals will receive left-handed starting pitcher Jordan Montgomery. This is a trade that helps both parties right now as they continue to compete for playoff position. Bader is hitting .256/.303//.370 with five home runs and 15 steals in […]

Jordan Montgomery Traded To Cardinals

New York Yankees starting pitcher Jordan Montgomery has been traded to the St. Louis Cardinals. In exchange, the Yankees will receive right-handed outfielder Harrison Bader for Monty. This is one of those rare trades that helps both contending organizations right now. Montgomery holds a 3.69 ERA, 1.10 WHIP, and 97 strikeouts through 21 starts. The […]

Chester Rogers To Visit Texans

Free-agent wide receiver Chester Rogers is scheduled to visit with the Houston Texans on Monday night. The 28-year-old has reportedly been drawing interest from multiple organizations this offseason. Last season, Rogers finished with 30 receptions, 301 receiving yards, and one touchdown in 16 games (one start) with the Tennessee Titans. He's a decent slot receiver […]

Preston Williams Frustrated With Current Role

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Preston Williams has expressed frustration with his current role on the team. He recently went on social media to say that he just wants an opportunity. The 25-year-old signed a one-year deal with Miami over the offseason. The expectation was that Williams would have at least a part-time role on the […]

James Washington Could Miss Two Months

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver James Washington (foot) has been diagnosed with a broken foot. The organization believes that Washington will miss 6-10 weeks of action. The expectation is that Washington will open the season on the injured reserve. This is bad timing for the Cowboys with Michael Gallup (knee) unlikely to be ready by Week […]

Kris Bryant Scratched On Monday

Colorado Rockies outfielder Kris Bryant (foot) has been scratched from Monday's game against the San Diego Padres. He was removed from Sunday's contest due to plantar fasciitis in his left foot. The organization decided to have Bryant serve as the designated hitter to help rest his foot on Monday. Despite that, it sounds like Bryant […]

Austin Riley Gets Massive Extension

Atlanta Braves third baseman Austin Riley has received a well-deserved extension from the organization. The 25-year-old has agreed to a 10-year deal worth $212 million, which is the highest in franchise history. This deal will buy out Riley's three remaining arbitration years as well as seven free agent years. Riley had a breakout season in […]

Fernando Tatis Jr. Feels Good During Batting Practice

San Diego Padres shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. (wrist) was able to take live batting practice prior to Monday's game against the Colorado Rockies.

Wil Myers Activated On Monday

San Diego Padres first baseman Wil Myers (knee) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Monday. The right-handed slugger will immediately move right back into the lineup against the Colorado Rockies. He has been sidelined since early June due to inflammation in his right knee. Myers will cover first base and bat fifth […]

Kris Bryant To Play On Monday

Colorado Rockies outfielder Kris Bryant (foot) is back in the lineup for Monday's game against the San Diego Padres. Bryant was forced to exit early during Sunday's contest due to his plantar fasciitis in his left foot. It sounds like the Rockies are going to limit Bryant to a designated hitter role. The organization is […]

Bobby Witt Jr. To Sit Out On Monday

Kansas City Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. (hamstring, hand) was hit by a pitch in the hand and forced to exit early during Sunday's game. Now, the Royals are going to play it safe and keep Witt out of the lineup for Monday's contest. He has been dealing with a hamstring issue as well, so […]

Luis Robert Will Miss More Time

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert (head) is not expected to return during their series against the Kansas City Royals, according to manager Tony La Russa. He landed on the injured list roughly two weeks ago due to blurred vision lightheadedness. Robert also sat out earlier this weekend due to a cold. Now, it sounds […]

Eric Hosmer Removed During Sunday's Game

San Diego Padres first baseman Eric Hosmer (neck) was removed during Sunday's game against the Minnesota Twins. There was some speculation that this removal was trade-related, but that doesn't appear to be the case. Instead, the 32-year-old is dealing with a minor neck strain. Fantasy managers should consider this a day-to-day issue. This doesn't sound […]

Dixon Machado Acquired By Giants

The San Francisco Giants have acquired shortstop Dixon Machado from the Chicago Cubs. In exchange, the Cubs will receive right-handed pitcher Raynel Espinal from the Giants. This was a desperation move for the Giants who are without a shortstop on their active roster. Both Brandon Crawford (knee) and Thairo Estrada (concussion) are sidelined. Machado is […]

Brandon Drury Has Hot Trade Market

Cincinnati Reds third baseman Brandon Drury has a surprisingly hot trade market heading into the deadline. The 29-year-old is having a breakout year with the Reds. Drury is slashing .275/.336/.523 with 20 homers and 59 RBI in 380 plate appearances. As of right now, the Dodgers, Mariners, and Braves are all reportedly interested in Drury. […]
