Spencer Horwitz Posts Six-RBI Game

Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman Spencer Horwitz put together an outstanding game at the plate during Sunday's game against the Colorado Rockies. He got the fun started with a two-run home run off right-hander Bradley Blalock in the second inning. Horwitz followed up the fun with a three-run shot off southpaw Ryan Rolison in the sixth […]

Luis Urias Removed Early on Sunday

Athletics third baseman Luis Urias (back) was forced to make an early exit from Sunday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Urias never got a chance to take an at-bat as he was pulled out in the second inning due to back spasms. There is no word on the severity yet, so fantasy managers should consider […]

Kyle Stowers Blasts Homer on Sunday

Miami Marlins outfielder Kyle Stowers came up clutch for his team during Sunday's game against the New York Yankees. He came up to the plate and delivered a three-run home run off Brent Headrick in the fourth inning. Stowers finished this game going 2-for-4 with a homer and four RBI in the win. The Yankees […]

Rafael Devers Collects Three Hits in Win

San Francisco Giants third baseman Rafael Devers came alive at the plate during Sunday's game against the New York Mets. His biggest hit of the game came in the form of a three-run home run off right-hander Frankie Montas in the third inning. He continued to have fun with an RBI single in the fourth […]

Simeon Woods Richardson Battling Stomach Bug

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Simeon Woods Richardson (illness) was scratched ahead of his start against the Cleveland Guardians on Sunday. The 24-year-old had his start pushed back due to stomach issues. Now, the plan is for Woods Richardson to take the ball during Wednesday's contest. Fantasy managers should adjust their lineups accordingly with this pitching […]

Curtis Mead Recalled on Sunday

Chicago White Sox infielder Curtis Mead is heading to the big-league roster on Sunday. Mead was acquired by the South Siders in a trade that sent Adrian Houser to the Tampa Bay Rays at the trade deadline. The White Sox are in need of another infielder with Miguel Vargas (oblique) heading to the injured list. […]

Nolan Gorman Heads to the Bench

St. Louis Cardinals infielder Nolan Gorman was absent from the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the San Diego Padres. This appears to be a routine rest day for Gorman who has played in each of the last two games since returning from the injured list. Gorman was struggling with the bat before going […]

Nestor Cortes Activated From Injured List

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Nestor Cortes (elbow) was activated off the 60-day injured list on Sunday. The southpaw was recently acquired by the Padres from the Milwaukee Brewers at the trade deadline. The Padres will basically get a fresh arm here with Cortes only making one start this season before landing on the shelf […]

Lawrence Butler Absent on Sunday

Athletics outfielder Lawrence Butler is out of the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. This appears to be a routine rest day for Butler who has started in nine straight games. The A's will play matchups here and rest Butler against left-handed starter Eduardo Rodriguez. Colby Thomas will take over in […]

Jayden Reed Working in the Slot

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed worked solely as a slot receiver during Saturday's practice. Instead, Matthew Golden, Malik Heath, and Romeo Doubs saw a majority of the snaps from wideout. Reed only saw 10 snaps during the entire practice, but it's also worth noting he has been dealing with a toe issue. Possibly, […]

Dontayvion Wicks Misses Saturday's Practice

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks (calf) wasn't able to participate during Saturday's practice. It's worth noting that Wicks missed practice time earlier in the week due to a calf issue. It's unclear if Saturday's absence was a planned rest day or Wicks couldn't participate due to the injury. The absence of Wicks meant […]

Terrance Ferguson Remains Without a Timetable

Los Angeles Rams tight end Terrance Ferguson (groin) was unable to participate in practice on Saturday. Head coach Sean McVay has downplayed the severity of the issue, but he also said Ferguson has no timetable to return. This is certainly frustrating given Ferguson was reportedly looking good during camp. The expectation was Ferguson could be […]

Jack Perkins Named Sunday's Starter

Athletics pitcher Jack Perkins will shift into the starting rotation and take the mound against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday. This news comes a few days after Perkins recorded a two-inning save in the absence of Mason Miller. The assumption was that Perkins would get a chance at the closer role. Now, it seems like […]

Miguel Vargas Dealing with Oblique Issue

Chicago White Sox infielder Miguel Vargas (oblique) was scratched from Saturday's starting lineup ahead of the Los Angeles Angels. He was slated to start at first base, but pulled out of the lineup due to an oblique issue. The expectation is that Vargas will undergo further testing to determine the severity of the injury. For […]

Marcelo Mayer Could Require Season-Ending Surgery

Boston Red Sox infielder Marcelo Mayer (wrist) recently received an injection to hopefully help him feel better and get back on the field. If that doesn't work, Mayer could require season-ending surgery. Mayer received the shot on Friday, so the team is going to wait a few days to see how he responds. The Red […]

J.J. McCarthy Looking Impressive in Practice

Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy has reportedly looked impressive early in training camp. The second-year quarterback missed all of last season due to a knee injury. Now, McCarthy has been given the keys to the castle with Sam Darnold no longer in Minnesota. This is certainly a ton of pressure considering the Vikings have a […]

Tucker Kraft Battling Groin Issue

Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft (groin) sat out of Saturday's practice while dealing with an injury. Head coach Matt LaFleur said they plan to give Kraft a few days to get over his groin injury. It doesn't sound like Kraft is going to miss significant time, so fantasy managers should consider this a […]

Kenneth Walker III Missing Practice Time

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (foot) looks like he's going to get some extra rest early in training camp. Walker was seen practicing on Thursday, but will take off both Friday and Saturday. Head coach Mike Macdonald said Walker is dealing with soreness in his foot. He continued by saying Walker is fine, […]

Seth Halvorsen Suffers Injury on Saturday

Colorado Rockies relief pitcher Seth Halvorsen (elbow) was removed early during Saturday's outing against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Halvorsen was only able to throw five pitches before being pulled out due to an elbow injury. Afterwards, interim manager Warren Schaeffer said that the injury didn't look good. The assumption is that Halvorsen will undergo further testing […]

Austin Cox Named Saturday's Starter

Atlanta Braves relief pitcher Austin Cox will serve as the opener for Saturday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. Originally, Spencer Strider was supposed to take the ball, but the game was delayed for over an hour due to rain. That being said, the Braves have decided to save Strider's arm and go bullpen-game on Saturday. […]

Kai-Wei Teng Likely Making Another Start

San Francisco Giants pitcher Kai-Wei Teng took the mound for his first MLB start on Saturday. He made a handful of appearances out of the bullpen last season, but never made a start in the big leagues. The 26-year-old didn't have great results as he allowed five earned runs on four hits, while walking three […]

Spencer Strider Won't Start on Saturday

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Spencer Strider has been scratched ahead of Saturday's start against the Cincinnati Reds. The game has been delayed due to rain for over an hour. That being said, the Braves have elected to go with a bullpen game, assuming they're able to play on Saturday. If it gets rained out, the […]

LaMonte Wade Jr. Released by Angels

Los Angeles Angels first baseman/outfielder LaMonte Wade Jr. was released by the organization on Saturday. This shouldn't come as a shock considering how poorly Wade has been playing with the Angels. In 30 games, Wade slashed .169/.260/.215 with one home run and three RBI. Before this season, Wade put together back-to-back strong campaigns with the […]

Lars Nootbaar Activated from Injured List on Saturday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Lars Nootbaar (ribs) was activated off the 10-day injured list on Saturday. Nootbaar is back in the mix after landing on the injured list in mid-July due to a ribs issue. The lineup isn't posted yet for Saturday's game versus the San Diego Padres. Regardless, Nootbaar figures to return to his […]

Jake Burger Beginning Rehab Assignment on Saturday

Texas Rangers third baseman Jake Burger (quad) is beginning his rehab assignment with Double-A Frisco on Saturday. Burger has been swinging the bat since last week, but now is ready for a rehab assignment. The right-handed slugger has been out since mid-July due to a quad strain. The Rangers are hopeful that Burger can return […]

Matthew Boyd Throws Seven Shutout Innings

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Matthew Boyd was outstanding on the mound during Saturday's outing against the Baltimore Orioles. The O's hitters had no answers for Boyd as he tossed seven shutout innings, allowing four hits, and striking out eight batters in the no-decision. Sadly for Boyd, the Cubs bullpen blew the game in the eighth […]

Keegan Akin Earns First Save

Baltimore Orioles relief pitcher Keegan Akin was called upon to hold a one-run lead versus the Chicago Cubs on Saturday. The Orioles took a late lead in this one and already had Yennier Cano pitch in the eighth inning. That being said, Akin was tasked with getting the final three outs. It wasn't easy as […]

Sal Frelick Removed Early on Saturday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Sal Frelick (knee) was removed early during Saturday's game against the Washington Nationals. Frelick was pulled out of the game due to left knee soreness. Afterwards, the Brewers said that his removal from the contest was precautionary. The assumption is that Frelick will undergo further testing. For now, Frelick should be considered […]

Spencer Arrighetti Nearing Return

Houston Astros starting pitcher Spencer Arrighetti (thumb) is reportedly in position to make his next start at the MLB level, according to manager Joe Espada. Arrighetti has been sidelined since early April after suffering a fractured thumb. The right-hander made three rehab appearances, which included getting knocked around for five earned runs on Thursday. There's […]

Trent Thornton Suffers Torn Achilles

Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Trent Thornton (Achilles) was placed on the 15-day injured list on Friday. Thornton will miss the rest of the regular season after suffering a torn left Achilles during Thursday's game.
