Maikel Franco Joins Braves On Minor League Deal

The Atlanta Braves have signed third baseman Maikel Franco to a minor league deal. The 29-year-old corner infielder was released by the Baltimore Orioles in late August. He hit .210/.253/.355 with 11 homers and 47 RBI during his time with the O's. This isn't a huge signing for the Braves, but does give them depth. […]

Willy Adames Lands On Injured List

Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Willy Adames (quad) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Sunday. He exited early during Saturday's game due to a quad issue. It's a shame since Adams has been nursing a quad issue and recently returned, but aggravated it on Saturday. The Brewers will be forced to place Adames on […]

Cam Gallagher Heads To Injured List

Kansas City Royals catcher Cam Gallagher (knee) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Sunday. The 28-year-old was removed from Saturday's game after battling knee discomfort. The organization is going to take the cautious approach and place Gallagher on the injured list. Salvador Perez (neck) is banged up as well, but continues to […]

Danny Santana Hits COVID List

Boston Red Sox infielder/outfielder Danny Santana has been placed on the COVID injured list. He recently returned from a groin injury and will head right back to the injured list. He wasn't bringing much to the table offensively anyway, so the Red Sox should be able to survive without Santana. In a corresponding move, outfielder […]

Justin Upton Placed On Injured List

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Justin Upton (back) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. The 34-year-old outfielder was scratched from Saturday's game due to back discomfort. A day later, the organization has decided to place Upton on the injured list for at least 10 days. Before getting injured, Upton was hitting .211 with 17 […]

Marwin Gonzalez Rejoins Astros

Houston Astros utility man Marwin Gonzalez has been recalled from Triple-A Sugar Land on Sunday. The 32-year-old signed a minor league deal with the organization in late August. Before joining Houston, Gonzalez was hitting .202./282/.285 with the Boston Red Sox this season. He'll provide depth off the bench for Houston, but can be ignored in […]

Stuart Fairchild Optioned, Henry Ramos Recalled

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Stuart Fairchild has been optioned to the minors on Sunday. The 25-year-old was hitting .315/.390/.596 with six home runs in the minors, but struggled during his brief time in the MLB. In a corresponding move, outfielder Henry Ramos has been recalled by the team. He was hitting .371/.439/.582 with 12 home runs […]

Leody Taveras Collects Two-Hit Game

Texas Rangers outfielder Leody Taveras has been given a chance to make his mark down the stretch of the season. He hit leadoff on Saturday and made the most of his chances. He went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in the 4-1 loss to the Los Angeles Angels. Since being recalled, Taveras […]

Kolby Allard Gives Acceptable Outing

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Kolby Allard has not been a great option for the team during the second half of the season. Allard has struggled to keep the ball in the park and it was more of the same on Saturday. He went 5 2/3 innings, five hits allowed, three earned runs, one walk, and […]

Ozzie Albies Goes Deep Again

Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies has returned with a fire lit under him. He was back in the lineup on Friday and homered in that contest. A day later, he goes 2-for-5 with a home run in the 7-6 loss to the Colorado Rockies on Saturday. The power numbers from Albies have been quiet […]

Ian Anderson Rocked On Saturday

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Ian Anderson was not on his best game during Saturday's contest against the Colorado Rockies. He went three innings, five hits allowed, four earned runs, and four walks in the 7-6 loss. Anderson clearly struggled with his control and two home runs hurt him as well. Despite the rough outing, Anderson […]

Brandon Nimmo Suffers Injury On Saturday

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (hamstring) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. The lefty hitting outfielder injured his leg while running out a ground ball during the first game of Saturday's doubleheader. This is a significant blow to the Mets who are fighting for a playoff spot. Nimmo was an important part […]

Willy Adames Exits Due To Quad Issue

Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Willy Adames (quad) was pulled out of Saturday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Adams recently has missed time due to a quad issue, but was in the lineup on Saturday. Sadly, he didn't last long and left due to quad discomfort, according to manager Craig Counsell. The organization has not given […]

Miguel Sano Leaves Early On Saturday

Minnesota Twins third baseman Miguel Sano (shoulder) was forced to exit early during Saturday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. The 28-year-old suffered a right shoulder contusion when colliding with catcher Mike Zunino. The Twins are calling the issue day-to-day, so fantasy managers will have to wait for more information. Honestly, Sano's power numbers are […]

Alex Dickerson Lands On Injured List

San Francisco Giants outfielder Alex Dickerson (hamstring) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. He suffered a hamstring injury while running the bases on Friday. The organization has not given a timetable for his return. Mauricio Dubon has been recalled in a corresponding move. Dickerson wasn't offering much at the plate right now. He […]

Matt Peacock Optioned To Minors

Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Matt Peacock has been optioned to the minors on Saturday. The 27-year-old wasn't pitching bad in the MLB, but it sounds like Arizona wanted a fresh arm. They recalled right-hander Humberto Castellanos for Saturday's game against the Seattle Mariners. Peacock posted a 4.90 ERA and 1.56 WHIP over 86 1/3 innings with […]

Justin Upton Remains Out Saturday

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Justin Upton (back) was not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Texas Rangers. He continues to deal with nagging injuries, which have hindered him all season long. Upton tried to play on Saturday, but back spasms stopped him from getting into the lineup. There really isn't much upside […]

AJ Pollock Exits Early On Saturday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder AJ Pollock (undisclosed) was pulled out early during Saturday's game against the San Francisco Giants. The veteran outfielder appears to have suffered an injury while diving into third base in the third inning. He limped off the field and the team has not given anymore details. The Dodgers are likely going […]

Keelan Cole Projected As Starter

New York Jets wide receiver Keelan Cole appears to have won a starting spot heading into the regular season. Cole has put together some respectable numbers with the Jacksonville Jaguars. It'll be interesting to see how he does with rookie Zach Wilson under center. The Jets have Elijah Moore, Braxton Berrios, and Denzel Mims, but […]

Tevin Coleman Projected As Starter

New York Jets running back Tevin Coleman is projected as the lead back on the depth chart. The veteran back appears to have the edge at the starting job heading into Week 1. However, that should be taken with a grain of salt since the team is going to use a committee approach at running […]

Blessuan Austin Cut By Jets

New York Jets defensive back Blessuan Austin was cut by the organization earlier this week. It was a bit of a shocking move to see Austin let go by the Jets. He started 11 games for New York last season. Austin recorded 63 tackles, four passes defended, and one fumble forced. Clearly, the 25-year-old didn't […]

Tommy Sweeney Wins Backup Role

Buffalo Bills tight end Tommy Sweeney will be the No. 2 tight end option for the team heading into the season. He saw limited action during his rookie season in 2019. Sadly, he missed all of the 2020 season due to a heart condition. Sweeney outplayed Jacob Hollister in training camp and won the backup […]

Devante Parker Bounce Back Year?

Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker did not look like himself during the 2020 season. He finished with 32 receptions, 438 yards, and three touchdowns in eight games. Sadly, injuries continue to hinder him and it's beginning to hurt his fantasy value. Right now, Parker should be viewed as a high-end WR4 coming into Week […]

Gerrid Doaks Earns Practice Squad Spot

Miami Dolphins running back Gerrid Doaks made the most of his chances during the preseason. He posted a two-touchdown game in the preseason finale. Sadly, it was not enough to earn him a spot on the 53-man roster. Although, the Dolphins did keep him around with a spot on the practice squad. The seventh-round running […]

Malcolm Brown Could Have Sneaky Value

Miami Dolphins running back Malcolm Brown is probably not someone most fantasy managers would bother considering in drafts. He's currently stuck in a three-back committee with Myles Gaskin and Salvon Ahmed. Right now, it sounds like Gaskin is the favorite to be the lead back. However, Brown was brought in this offseason as insurance at […]

Myles Gaskin Likely To Be Lead Back

Miami Dolphins running back Myles Gaskin is expected to be in a three-back committee to begin the season. The organization plans to use Malcolm Brown, Salvon Ahmed, and Gaskin in their weekly gameplan. At first glance, this is a headache for fantasy managers and probably won't last too long for Miami. At some point, one […]

Tua Tagovailoa Focusing On Week 1

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is going to be the starter heading into Week 1. The organization is hopeful that Tagovailoa can be their future franchise quarterback. However, there have been rumors about the Dolphins possibly interested in Deshaun Watson. Despite that, Tagovailoa is trying to block out the trade rumors and focus on helping […]

Isaiah Hodgins Joins Bills Practice Squad

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Isaiah Hodgins was unable to make the final 53-man roster. He was cut on Tuesday, but did find his way back in Buffalo with a practice squad spot. Hodgins is a former sixth round pick who missed his rookie season due to a shoulder injury. There is certainly some upside with […]

Bills Appear Committed To Dawson Knox

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox is going to open the season as the starter. Buffalo added depth during the offseason, but none impressed them. Knox will be the No. 1 tight end with Tommy Sweeney as the primary backup. That means, the Bills either believe in Knox or don't plan on using the tight […]

Nick Solak Has Three-Hit Game On Friday

Texas Rangers infielder Nick Solak has been putting together respectable numbers over the last few weeks. On Friday, he went 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored in the 3-2 loss to the Los Angeles Angels. The 26-year-old recorded his fifth three-hit game of the season. He is slashing .244/.312/.382 with 11 home runs […]
