Kirk Cousins Invisible on Saturday Afternoon

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins symbolized the entire first-team offense with his performance on Saturday. It was a sloppy offensive quarter which saw Cousins throw for 12 yards on 3-for-8 passing with no touchdowns or interceptions. To be fair to Cousins, the offensive line was atrocious as regular starters Mike Remmers, Rashod Hill and Pat […]

Jose Altuve Cleared for Rehab Assignment

Houston Astros superstar Jose Altuve (knee) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Fresno on Sunday. Altuve has been out since July 26 with knee discomfort. It seems likely that Altuve will rejoin the team early in the upcoming week. This is a huge boon for fantasy owners as a healthy Altuve is incredibly valuable […]

Nick Markakis Tacks on Two More RBI on Friday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Nick Markakis just keeps continuing his ridiculous season. Markakis was 1-for-4 on Friday with two RBI against the Colorado Rockies. Markakis is now batting .318 on the season with 78 RBI, 14 home runs, and 69 runs scored. He has been one of the most pleasant surprises of the fantasy season and […]

Pablo Sandoval (hamstring) was put on the 60-day disabled list to accommodate Strickland's return. Will Smith has been fantastic in the closer role, and Giants manager Bruce Bochy has said that Smith has […]

Marcus Stroman Heading to Disabled List

Toronto Blue Jays starter Marcus Stroman (blister) is heading back to the disabled list for the second time this season. Stroman had been bothered by the blister for a while, and it became quite bad on Friday against the Yankees. This season is a foregone conclusion at this point for the Jays, so there is […]

Sean Newcomb Gets Crushed on Friday

Atlanta Braves starter Sean Newcomb was dinged for seven earned runs through 5 1/3 innings on Friday against the Colorado Rockies. Newcomb allowed nine hits, walked three, and struck out five. The poor performance put his record to 10-6 on the season and rose his ERA to 3.73. Newcomb was great for the majority of […]

Dalvin Cook Will Not Play in Preseason Week 2

Minnesota Vikings sophomore running back Dalvin Cook will not be playing on Saturday afternoon against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Cook says that he is absolutely 100% ready to go for Week 1 of the regular season, but the Vikings are still taking a cautious approach. There has been talk recently of Latavius Murray getting some more […]

Luke Maile Heading to Paternity List

Fire up the Danny Jansen hype train! Toronto Blue Jays catcher Luke Maile is heading to the paternity list as he awaits the birth of his child. This means Jansen should see starts behind the plate for the next couple of days. While it has been a short sample size for the Jays third-ranked prospect, […]

Ian Kinsler In Friday's Lineup

Boston Red Sox second baseman Ian Kinsler was activated off of the disabled list earlier on Friday afternoon, and he will be making his return on Friday night against the Tampa Bay Rays.

This is the third time this season that Devers has had to go to the disabled list, and the second time in two weeks it has been because […]

Sam Gaviglio Gets Tossed Around on Thursday

Toronto Blue Jays starter Sam Gaviglio struggled against the Kansas City Royals on Thursday night. While it seemed like a solid matchup to stream, Gaviglio gave up five runs on eight hits through 4 1/3 innings. He was unable to induce many whiffs as he only struck out two batters. Gaviglio has had some great […]

Julio Teheran Tosses Quality Start on Thursday

Atlanta Braves starter Julio Teheran was solid on Thursday against the Colorado Rockies. While he was saddled with a no-decision, that was no fault of his. Teheran went seven innings, giving up two runs on three hits while striking out seven batters and walking two. He was actually in line for the win before Brad […]

Joe Ross Beginning Minor League Rehab Assignment on Thursday

Washington Nationals pitcher Joe Ross (elbow) is starting a minor league rehab assignment on Thursday with High-A Potomac. Ross had Tommy John surgery about a year ago. The Nationals could use another starter for the rotation, and Ross seems like a likely candidate to get some starts if all goes well with his rehab. Depending […]

Laquon Treadwell Looking Forward to Fresh Start

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Laquon Treadwell has always been his harshest critic. The former first-round pick has failed to live up to expectations during his first two years in the NFL, but indications out of training camp suggest that Treadwell may finally be able to turn things around this season. To be clear, Treadwell is […]

Adam Jones Clears Revocable Trade Waivers

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Adam Jones has cleared revocable trade waivers, which now means he is eligible to be traded to any team. Jones has expressed his desire to stay with the Orioles, and he has 10-and-5 rights in his contract that give him the power to veto any deal he does not like. Regardless, the […]

Mitch Moreland Cashes in Three RBI on Wednesday

Boston Red Sox first baseman Mitch Moreland delivered three RBI in a 7-4 loss to the Phillies on Wednesday evening. Moreland was just 1-for-5 at the plate, but his one hit was a bases-clearing double in the third inning. Moreland has really struggled with the bat over his past 30 games. While he still has […]

Ronald Acuna Labeled Day-to-Day After CT Scan

Fantasy owners of Atlanta Braves star rookie Ronald Acuna can breathe a sigh of relief. Acuna has been labeled day-to-day after getting a CT scan done on his elbow. Acuna was pegged by a Jose Urena fastball on the first pitch of Wednesday's game. He has been the hottest bat in baseball over the past […]

Nathan Eovaldi Takes No-Decision on Wednesday

Boston Red Sox starter Nathan Eovaldi suffered a bit of bad luck on Wednesday in a 7-4 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies. Eovaldi went five innings, giving up three runs (one earned) on seven hits while striking five. Two of the runs were plated because of a throwing error by Rafael Devers. Eovaldi is 5-4 […]

Kevin Gausman Tosses Another Solid Start

Atlanta Braves starter Kevin Gausman delivered a decent performance on Wednesday against the Miami Marlins. Gausman went six innings, allowing two runs on four hits while striking out two batters. That pushed his record to 7-9 on the season. While he struggled on a poor Orioles team earlier in the year, Gausman has been good […]

Curtis Granderson Smacks Grand Slam on Wednesday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Curtis Granderson delivered most of the offense in a 6-5 win over the Royals on Wednesday night. Granderson was 2-for-4 at the plate with a grand slam in the fourth inning. Granderson is still drawing trade interest from a variety of teams, but he would most likely be a bench bat […]

Mookie Betts Sitting on Wednesday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Mookie Betts is getting a day off on Wednesday. Betts is likely available off of the bench. Jackie Bradley will start in center field and bat sixth against the Philadelphia Phillies and their starter Vince Velazquez. Bradley has been fairly miserable at the plate so far this season, but he is […]

Brett Cecil Returns From Disabled List

St. Louis Cardinals reliever Brett Cecil (foot) is back with the team after missing three weeks with foot inflammation. Cecil has been awful this season as evidenced by his 5.70 ERA in 23 2/3 innings. Cecil has no fantasy value as he will most likely be used in very low-leverage situations. Tyler Webb was optioned […]

James Paxton Placed on 10-Day Disabled List

Seattle Mariners ace James Paxton (forearm) was placed on the 10-day disabled list on Wednesday afternoon. Paxton suffered the injury on Tuesday night against the Oakland Athletics when he was struck by a Jed Lowrie liner. The injury does not seem all that severe, so Paxton should be able to spend around the minimum on […]

Starling Marte Scratched from Wednesday's Lineup

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Starling Marte was a late scratch from the lineup on Wednesday afternoon with an illness. Adam Frazier is starting in center field and batting second in his absence. Frazier has a .285 average across 186 at-bats this season with four home runs and 16 RBI. He has a decent matchup against Minnesota […]

Dalvin Cook Questionable for Week 2 of Preseason

Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer said that he is still unsure whether or not running back Dalvin Cook will appear in their preseason game against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Saturday. Cook, who was recovering from last season's ACL tear, was not in the lineup for their first preseason game against the Denver Broncos. He […]

Daniel Carlson Should be Vikings Starting Kicker

The Minnesota Vikings were confident enough to spend a fifth-round pick on Auburn product Daniel Carlson in the 2018 NFL draft. So far at training camp, early returns on the guy many regarded as the best kicker in college football have been very good. He smoked a 57-yard kick straight through the middle of the […]

Arodys Vizcaino Set to Resume Throwing on Wednesday

Injured Atlanta Braves closer Arodys Vizcaino (shoulder) is ready to ramp up his rehab on Wednesday. The 27-year-old will resume throwing, which is the first step in his recovery process. There will be a clearer timetable for his return in the coming days, but the Braves seem content to take a slow approach. With A.J. […]

A.J. Minter Continues to Pitch Well out of Braves Bullpen

While Atlanta Braves closer A.J. Minter was not needed for a save in Tuesday's 10-6 win against the Miami Marlins, the reliever still pitched a clean ninth inning. Minter has filled in admirably in lieu of Arodys Vizcaino's injury. He has only allowed a single run in his last 11 appearances and has grabbed a tidy […]

Anibal Sanchez Struggles on Tuesday

Atlanta Braves starter Anibal Sanchez was ineffective against the Miami Marlins on Tuesday. The right-hander went five innings, surrendering five runs (four earned) on seven hits while striking out six and walking two. Thankfully, the Braves offense managed to bail him out and left him with a no-decision. Sanchez has been sneaky good in Atlanta […]

Freddie Freeman Smacks 20th Homer of the Season

Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman hit his 20th big fly of the season on Tuesday night. Freeman was 2-for-4 with a solo shot and a walk. Freeman is right near the top of the NL-MVP list as he has had a fantastic season. The 28-year-old sports a .320 average along with 75 RBI, seven […]
