Jose Iglesias Released By Angels
Los Angeles Angels shortstop Jose Iglesias has been released by the organization on Friday. The veteran infielder was set to be a free agent at the end of the season. He was hitting .259/.295/.375 with eight homers, 41 RBI and five stolen bases in 114 games with the Angels this season. He could certainly be […]

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Jake Arrieta (hamstring) has been activated from the 10-day injured list ahead of Friday's game against the Houston Astros. The veteran right-hander has been sidelined since August 18. He made one start for the Padres and was lifted after getting hit around and landed on the injured list. Arrieta was […]

Kyle Lewis Suffers Setback While Recovering
Seattle Mariners outfielder Kyle Lewis (knee) suffered a setback while recovering and will not head out on a minor league rehab assignment. He is currently recovering from surgery to repair the meniscus in his right knee. The young outfielder does not have a timetable to return right now. That means, it's unlikely that Lewis gets […]

Clayton Kershaw Throws Simulated Game On Friday
Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw (forearm) threw two innings during a simulated outing on Friday. The veteran lefty isn't scheduled to throw again until Sunday. It sounds like Kershaw could head out on a rehab assignment soon. It's uncertain if the Dodgers plan to bring Kershaw back as a starter or attempt to […]

Tony Gonsolin To Throw On Saturday
Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tony Gonsolin (shoulder) is scheduled to throw three innings during a rehab outing on Saturday. Manager Dave Roberts mentioned the organization would consider activating Gonsolin after that outing, assuming everything goes well. Gonsolin has been sidelined since July 31 due to shoulder inflammation. The Dodgers are probably going to need […]

David Price Scratched On Friday
Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher David Price (arm) has been scratched from Friday's start against the San Francisco Giants. The veteran left-hander will sit this one out while he deals with arm soreness. Right-handed reliever Corey Knebel will be asked to be the opener for this game. It sounds like Price very well could be […]

Nick Folk Back With New England
New England Patriots kicker Nick Folk is back with the organization following being cut on Tuesday. The 36-year-old was released while the team finalized their 53-man roster. However, he was signed to the practice squad a day later. He has spent each of the last two seasons with the Patriots. Folk connected on 26-of-28 field […]

Malcolm Perry Claimed By Patriots
The New England Patriots have claimed wide receiver Malcolm Perry off waivers from the Miami Dolphins. The former seventh-round pick spent the entire 2020 season with Miami. He recorded nine receptions for 92 yards in nine games, so he was mainly a depth player. Perry could be an interesting slot option for New England. Bill […]

Daniel Brown Sticks With Jets
New York Jets tight end Daniel Brown isn't going anywhere and is back with the organization. The veteran tight end has snagged a practice squad spot to begin the season. Brown has spent each of the last two seasons as a member of the Jets. He has 44 catches, 420 yards and 2 TDs in […]

Jamison Crowder Considered Day-To-Day
New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder (groin) is currently considered day-to-day heading into Week 1 against the Carolina Panthers. The veteran wideout isn't currently practicing right now, but head coach Robert Saleh isn't concerned. The team should continue to give updates on Crowder over the next few days. Elijah Moore stands the gain the […]

Kahale Warring Snags Final Practice Squad Spot
Buffalo Bills tight end Kahale Warring was recently released by the New England Patriots and Indianapolis Colts. He hasn't stayed in one place for very long during camp, but has landed the final practice squad spot in Buffalo. The 6'5 tight end had three receptions for 35 yards during his limited time with the Houston […]

Adam Duvall Crushes Go-Ahead Homer
Atlanta Braves outfielder Adam Duvall played the hero during Thursday's game against the Colorado Rockies. He went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in the fifth inning to give the Braves the lead. Atlanta would hold on 6-5 and secure the win over the Colorado Rockies. That blast marked Duvall's 30th home run of the […]

Jorge Soler Blasts Homer On Thursday
Atlanta Braves outfielder Jorge Soler has looked like a completely different player since the end of July. He now has nine home runs in 29 games with the Braves. On Thursday, Soler went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and a single in the 6-5 win over the Colorado Rockies. The 29-year-old has found new […]

Touki Toussaint Struggles Against Rockies
Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Touki Toussaint did not look his best during Thursday's game against the Colorado Rockies. He went three innings, six hits allowed, five runs (four earned) in the 6-5 victory. Toussaint was solid until the third inning where he had a complete meltdown. Despite that, he is posting a 4.19 ERA, 1.21 […]

Zach Thompson To Move Into Bullpen
Miami Marlins pitcher Zach Thompson won't be taking the mound as a starting pitcher for the rest of the season. The team announced that Thompson will shift into the bullpen down the stretch. Thompson has a 3.16 ERA, 1.17 WHIP in 62.7 innings with the Marlins this season. This shouldn't be viewed as a demotion, […]

Jon Gray To Throw Simulated Game On Saturday
Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Jon Gray (forearm) will take the mound and throw a simulated game on Saturday. He was placed on the injured list on Wednesday due to right forearm tightness. The hope is that Gray will be able to get back into the rotation after this simulated game. However, the team is going […]

Joc Pederson Gets Rest Day On Thursday
Atlanta Braves outfielder Joc Pederson (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Colorado Rockies. The Braves have plenty of options in the outfield after the trade deadline, so they can afford to give guys routine days off. Eddie Rosario will cover left field and bat leadoff versus righty Chi Chi […]

Ozzie Albies Remains Out On Thursday
Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies (knee) remains out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Colorado Rockies. He was able to go through pregame workouts, but will sit out at least one more game. Ehire Adrianza is hitting eighth and covering second base versus righty Chi Chi Gonzalez on Thursday. Adrianza isn't […]

Willson Contreras Playing In Minors On Friday
Chicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras (knee) will get into action on Friday with Triple-A Iowa. He has been sidelined since August 12 due to a knee sprain. He'll need to get some rehab at-bats to get back into a groove before returning to Chicago. The hope is that he'll be able to return within the […]

Anthony DeSclafani Will Start Friday
San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Anthony DeSclafani will make the start against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday, according to manager Gabe Kapler. DeSclafani lasted just three innings during his most recent outing. He didn't exit due to injury, but was dealing with an ankle sprain prior to that outing. The right-hander will make an […]

Shaquem Griffin Staying In Miami
Miami Dolphins linebacker Shaquem Griffin was one of the more surprising cuts on Tuesday. He was added to the team in July as linebacker depth. Griffin was mainly a special teams player in Seattle, but has decent upside. On Wednesday, he was brought back to the Dolphins on the practice squad. At least now, Miami […]

Antonio Williams Lands On Practice Squad
Buffalo Bills running back Antonio Williams failed to make the 53-man roster on Tuesday. He was released by the team, but brought back on the practice squad on Wednesday. Williams was a surprising cut because he does have some upside. The 23-year-old is unlikely to have a role in 2021. Both Devin Singletary and Zack […]

Kohei Arihara Looks Strong In Short Outing
Texas Rangers starting pitcher Kohei Arihara was surprisingly strong on the mound against the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday. He went 3 1/3 innings, one hit, one earned run, and three strikeouts in the 9-5 loss. He actually retired the first 10 batters he faced before allowing a solo home run to Brendan Rodgers. That was […]

Joe Barlow Tagged For Five Runs
Texas Rangers relief pitcher Joe Barlow was unable to shut the door against the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday. He wasn't even able to get through an inning before allowing five runs (two earned) with two walks in the 9-5 loss. It was partly Barlow's fault for walking two batters, but after that the Rangers defense […]

Matt Duffy Scratched On Wednesday
Chicago Cubs infielder Matt Duffy (neck) has been scratched from Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Twins. He is dealing with neck stiffness, so hopefully it's just a day-to-day type of issue. In the meantime, Andrew Romine will cover second base and bat ninth against righty Joe Ryan. Romine isn't in a favorable part of the […]

Johnny Cueto Heads To Injured List
San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Johnny Cueto (elbow) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday. This shouldn't come as a shock considering manager Gabe Kapler mentioned Cueto was dealing with elbow soreness last week. The hope is that Cueto won't need more than 10 days. However, Cueto has dealt with plenty of […]

Daniel Vogelbach Activated From 60-Day Injured List
Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Daniel Vogelbach (hamstring) has been activated off the 60-day injured list on Wednesday. He missed over two months due to a hamstring issue and foot injury that happened during his rehab assignment. He won't be in the lineup on Wednesday, but is an option off the bench for Milwaukee. Vogelbach is […]

Manny Pina Placed On 10-Day Injured List
Milwaukee Brewers catcher Manny Pina (oblique) has been placed on the 10-day injured list, retroactive August 29. Hopefully, Pina won't miss much time, but he has been horrendous at the plate anyway. He is slashing .181/.285/.389 with nine homers across 172 plate appearances. Pina is normally a reliable backup catcher, but won't provide fantasy value […]

Frankie Montas To Take The Mound Thursday
Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Frankie Montas will have his start moved up to Thursday against the Detroit Tigers. Apparently, lefty Sean Manaea is having a visa issue and won't be able to pitch on Thursday. This is actually a favorable change for Montas. He'll get a much easier opponent and has been tough to hit […]

Jorge Soler Gets Rest Day On Wednesday
Atlanta Braves outfielder Jorge Soler (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. This appears to be a routine rest day for the slugging outfielder. Soler has been on fire since joining the Braves roster and should be rostered in basically all fantasy formats right now. Adam Duvall […]
