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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Luis Garcia Is Back On Friday

Washington Nationals second baseman Luis Garcia (knee) is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the San Diego Padres. He was a late scratch on Wednesday due to right knee soreness. Garcia appears ready to get back on the field after an off day on Thursday. He will bat leadoff and play shortstop […]

Kyle Schwarber Won't Play Friday

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Kyle Schwarber (calf) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the New York Mets. This doesn't come as much of a surprise after Schwarber departed from Thursday's game. The left-handed slugger is considered to have a mild strain, but is hopeful to avoid the injured list. Fantasy managers should […]

Michael Brantley To Miss The Rest Of The Season

Houston Astros outfielder Michael Brantley (shoulder) is set to undergo surgery which will sideline him for the rest of the season.

That performance marked the 11th start in a row that Cease has allowed one run or […]

Kansas City Royals relief pitcher Scott Barlow has been a fairly effective option in the ninth inning this season.

Jack Flaherty Shaky During Rehab Start

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Jake Flaherty (shoulder) made his first rehab start with Triple-A Memphis on Thursday. He allowed, four hits, three earned runs, and struck out two batters in his one inning of work. This wasn't the result the team wanted to see, but at least his velocity was still there. Flaherty isn't […]

Elias Diaz Expected To Land On Injured List

Colorado Rockies catcher Elias Diaz (hand) exited early during Wednesday's matchup against the St. Louis Cardinals. The 31-year-old aggravated his right hand, while swinging during the contest.

Wynton Bernard Likely To Be Called Up

Colorado Rockies outfielder Wynton Bernard is reportedly going to get the call up from Triple-A on Friday. The 31-year-old has been playing in the minor leagues since 2013.

Josh Sborz Named Opener For Friday

Texas Rangers pitcher Josh Sborz will make the start against the Seattle Mariners on Friday. This appears to be a bullpen game as Sborz is expected to pitch an inning or two. He currently holds a 5.87 ERA through 15.3 innings with the Rangers this season. He won't be a recommended fantasy option, so fantasy […]

Adam Shaheen Fails Physical Assessment

The Houston Texans have issued a failed physical designation to tight end Adam Shaheen. He was recently acquired with a seventh-round pick in exchange for a sixth-round pick from the Miami Dolphins. That trade has now been voided and Shaheen will head back to the Dolphins roster. After this, it would be surprising to see […]

Benny Snell Jr. Misses Thursday's Practice

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Benny Snell Jr. (knee) didn't take the field during Thursday's practice. Snell was seen with a wrap around his knee on Wednesday.
