Greg Newsome II Won't Miss Significant Time

Cleveland Browns defensive back Greg Newsome II (hamstring) won't be sidelined for long, according to head coach Kevin Stefanski. The 22-year-old hasn't practiced since Tuesday and sat out the preseason opener. Despite that, the Browns don't expect Newsome to miss Week 1 of the regular season. The former first round pick battled multiple injuries last […]

Garrett Griffin Released By Lions

Detroit Lions tight end Garrett Griffin has been released by the organization. The 28-year-old was reunited with head coach Dan Campbell earlier this offseason. They overlapped with each other during their time in New Orleans. Regardless, it doesn't sound like Griffin made the first round of cuts. That is not a good sign for the […]

Alvin Kamara Unlikely To Be Suspended

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara is unlikely to face a suspension, according to Adam Schefter. It seems increasingly more likely that Kamara won't be suspended before the regular season begins. That being said, it could happen down the road or even during the 2023 campaign. The 27-year-old is facing felony battery charges resulting […]

Luis Guillorme Removed Early On Sunday

New York Mets infielder Luis Guillorme (leg) was removed early during Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. He came up limping after running around the bases in the fourth inning. Eduardo Escobar came into the contest, but is dealing with a oblique injury himself. This appears to be a precautionary move to get Guillorme out […]

Jason Adam Records Sixth Save

Tampa Bay Rays relief pitcher Jason Adam was called upon to record the final two outs of Sunday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. Starting pitcher Drew Rasmussen nearly threw a perfect game before giving up a double to Jorge Mateo in the ninth inning. Luckily, Adam came in and continued his excellent season by closing […]

Drew Rasmussen Nearly Throws Perfect Game

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Drew Rasmussen was so close to throwing a perfect game during Sunday's contest against the Baltimore Orioles. He retired the first 24 batters before Jorge Mateo doubled to kick off the ninth inning. After that, Rasmussen was lifted from the game, but it was a fantastic effort. The 27-year-old has […]

Ramon Laureano Removed Early On Sunday

Oakland Athletics outfielder Ramon Laureano (undisclosed) was removed during Sunday's game due to an unknown injury. The 28-year-old slipped on the warning track early in the game, but stayed in the contest. He was later removed during the bottom half of the fourth inning for Stephen Piscotty. It's uncertain what is wrong with Laureano, but […]

Blake Snell Goes Six Scoreless Innings

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Blake Snell was outstanding during Sunday's matchup against the Washington Nationals. The left-hander went six scoreless innings, allowing three hits, and striking out 10 batters in the win. This marked the fifth start in a row that Snell has allowed one run or less. He currently carries a 3.66 ERA, […]

Michael Wacha Activated, Starting On Sunday

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Michael Wacha (shoulder) has been activated from the 15-day injured list on Sunday. He'll make his return after missing a month of action due shoulder inflammation. The 31-year-old will take the mound against the New York Yankees on Sunday. He has been pitching fairly well this season, but the Yankees […]

Isaiah Hodgins Gets Targeted 11 Times

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Isaiah Hodgins saw significant action during Saturday's preseason matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. The 23-year-old saw a team-high 11 targets during the victory over Indy. Hodgins managed to haul in nine receptions for 77 yards, which is a solid day for him. The former sixth-round pick is currently buried on the […]

Khalil Shakir Has Big Game

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir was able to make some noise during Saturday's preseason matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. The rookie wideout hauled in all five of his targets for 92 yards in the victory. Earlier this offseason, the Bills mentioned Shakir was doing extremely well during training camp. He was a fifth-round pick, […]

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 […]
