Paul Worrilow Diagnosed With a Torn ACL

Updating a previous report, Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Paul Worrilow (knee) has been diagnosed with a torn ACL. He'll miss the entire 2018 season. Worrilow had just signed a one-year contract to join the Super Bowl champions in April, but a non-contact injury on Tuesday landed him in an air cast and had him carted off […]

Mychal Kendricks Released by the Eagles

The Philadelphia Eagles released linebacker Mychal Kendricks on Tuesday. Kendricks was a starting linebacker for the Super Bowl champions last season, but the cut will save the team $6 million against the salary cap if it is designated a post-June 1 release. Kendricks had one of his best NFL seasons last year, so he won't […]

Tyler O'Neill Gets Another Start on Tuesday

St. Louis Cardinals rookie outfielder Tyler O'Neill is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game. He's hit three home runs over the past three games and will shoot for four against the Royals on Tuesday. He'll play in Tommy Pham's place on Tuesday, but could seemingly start seeing more and more consistent playing time in […]

Tommy Pham Not in Tuesday's Starting Lineup

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tommy Pham is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game. It's just a simple day of rest for Pham, who will be replaced in the lineup by rookie Tyler O'Neill. Fantasy owners should adjust their lineups accordingly, knowing that Pham will be right back in there on Wednesday.

Paul Worrilow Carted Off the Field on Tuesday

Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Paul Worrilow was placed in an air cast and carted off the field during Tuesday's practice. While the team has yet to release information about the injury, the presence of an air cast and a cart certainly lend themselves to the belief that Worrilow suffered a serious injury. He'd just signed a […]

Carson Wentz Participating in Individual Drills

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz (knee) participated in individual throwing drills during organized team activities on Tuesday. Wentz admitted that he has not been medically cleared to practice but had always planned on participating at OTAs. He reportedly looked strong warming up before throwing and then looked comfortable throwing the ball once he got going. […]

Wendell Smallwood May Not Make the Eagles Roster

Philadelphia Eagles running back Wendell Smallwood faces a "steep uphill battle" to make the Eagles final roster for the 2018 season. Smallwood got some playing time in 2017, but that all disappeared once Jay Ajayi was acquired. With Ajayi, Darren Sproles, and Corey Clement firmly ahead of him on the depth chart, Smallwood looks like […]

Donnel Pumphrey On the Roster Bubble

Philadelphia Eagles running back Donnel Pumphrey is expected to be on the roster bubble heading into the 2018 season. Pumphrey reportedly faces an "uphill battle" to make the final roster. After a disappointing training camp before last season, he was placed on Injured Reserve and missed the entire year. Recent reports state that Pumphrey has […]

Darren Sproles Could Lead the Eagles Backfield in 2018

Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles could lead the Eagles backfield in snaps in 2018, according to NJ.com Eagles reporter Eliot Shorr-Parks. Sproles was the starter last season before a season-ending injury, and apparently the presence of Jay Ajayi may not change that this year. While he certainly won't operate as a three-down back, an […]

Matt Carpenter Seems to Have Remembered How to Play Baseball

St. Louis Cardinals infielder Matt Carpenter started out the season as one of the worst offensive players in baseball. He got an entire weekend off to work on his swing and was later even pinch hit for in a critical late-game situation. Something seems to have clicked with the veteran, though, as he's now recorded […]

Tyler O'Neill Can't Stop Hitting Home Runs

St. Louis Cardinals rookie outfielder Tyler O'Neill hit another home run on Monday, his third in the past three games. He finished the game 2-for-4 with a run scored and four RBI. With Dexter Fowler struggling mightily and O'Neill posting a 1.304 OPS so far in his big league career, it's not a stretch to […]

Miles Mikolas Throws a Shutout on Monday

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Miles Mikolas tossed a shutout on Monday, striking out nine Royals and allowing just one walk and four hits. Mikolas started the season off with two rough starts, but has been excellent since then. On the year, he has a 6-0 record to go with a 2.24 ERA. He's worth […]

Greg Garcia Exits Monday's Game With Back Tightness

St. Louis Cardinals infielder Greg Garcia was removed from Monday's game due to tightness in his lower back. Garcia took an awkward swing while at bat and was checked on by trainers, but he was allowed to remain in the game. He ended up hitting a single in the same at-bat but was later removed […]

Carson Kelly Could Return As Soon As He Is Eligible

St. Louis Cardinals catcher Carson Kelly (hamstring) could return to the team as soon as he is eligible this weekend. Kelly was placed on the 10-day disabled list with a hamstring injury last week, but it seems like it was not a major issue, as he's expected to return as soon as the 10 days […]

Adam Wainwright Undergoes Another Elbow Examination

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Adam Wainwright underwent a non-intrusive procedure where doctors inserted a camera into his injured elbow. The Cardinals and Wainwright are trying to determine the cause of his elbow pain and he will continue to undergo a series of imaging and other tests. The veteran righty is on the 60-day disabled […]

Alex Reyes Will Work as a Starter When He Returns

St. Louis Cardinals general manager Michael Girsch confirmed on Monday that starting pitcher Alex Reyes (elbow) would be used as a starting pitcher once he completes his recovery from Tommy John surgery. It was originally unclear whether Reyes would be used in the rotation or out of the bullpen, but perhaps his 0.00 ERA and […]

Carlos Martinez Throws for the First Time Since Landing on the DL

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Carlos Martinez (lat) was able to long toss on Monday. It's the first time he's thrown since landing on the disabled list a few weeks ago with a strained lat. Martinez said he did not feel any pain during the long-toss session, but Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak said that […]

Dexter Fowler Not in the Lineup for Monday's Game

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Dexter Fowler is not in Monday's starting lineup. He's now been on the bench for two of the last three games while super prospect Tyler O'Neill gets some playing time in the outfield. Fowler is hitting a mere .160/.281/.292 through almost two months of the season. Fowler had a nice game […]

Andrew Miller Felt His Back Lock Up on Friday

Cleveland Indians relief pitcher Andrew Miller felt his back lock up on Friday after participating in pre-game workouts. He didn't end up pitching in any of the games against the Astros over the weekend, and the back injury may help to explain why Miller has been much less than stellar since coming off the disabled […]

Jack Flaherty Dominates the Phillies on Sunday

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Jack Flaherty was dominant on Sunday against the Phillies, pitching 7 2/3 innings of one-run ball, allowing just two hits and a walk while striking out 13. He now has 27 strikeouts in 23 1/3 innings of major league work to go with a 2.31 ERA and 1.03 WHIP. Barring […]

Adam Plutko Called Up to Take a Rotation Spot

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Adam Plutko will be called up to make Wednesday's start. Plutko will be taking the rotation spot vacated by Josh Tomlin's move to the bullpen. Plutko made a start earlier this season, tossing 7 1/3 innings of three-run ball. He's been solid in Triple-A so far this season, posting a 2.25 […]

Josh Tomlin Moves to the Bullpen

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Josh Tomlin will be moved to the bullpen. Tomlin's had a hard time in 2018, posting a 7.84 ERA and 1.68 WHIP while allowing 15 home runs in 31 innings of work. He was a decent innings eating back-of-the-rotation starter as recently as last season, so it's likely he'll get another […]

Carlos Carrasco Pitches Well but Takes Sunday's Loss

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco pitched well on Sunday but took the loss. He tossed 7 2/3 innings, allowing three runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out six. He ended up with a quality start, but his teammates couldn't give him enough runs to earn him a win. Carrasco has a […]

Melky Cabrera Called Up to Join the Cleveland Indians

The Cleveland Indians purchased the contract of outfielder Melky Cabrera from Triple-A Columbus. Cabrera signed a minor league contract with Cleveland a few weeks ago after he was unable to find a major league deal. He played in 10 games at the Triple-A level, hitting .286/.286/.381. He might get some playing time until Lonnie Chisenhall […]

Lonnie Chisenhall to Begin a Rehab Assignment on Monday

Cleveland Indians outfielder Lonnie Chisenhall (calf) will begin a rehab assignment on Monday. He'll report to Triple-A Columbus, where he's scheduled to play three or four innings on Monday and another four on Wednesday. Chisenhall hasn't played since early April, so he'll likely need a somewhat lengthy rehab assignment before he's ready to come up […]

Terrance Williams Arrested on Saturday

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Terrance Williams was arrested on Saturday morning for public intoxication and leaving the scene of an accident. Williams reportedly crashed his Lamborghini into a light post and fled the scene of the accident around 3 AM in Frisco, Texas. He was arrested a few hours later when police found him riding […]

Mike Clevinger Loses but Earns a Quality Start

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Mike Clevinger picked up a quality start on Friday but was saddled with a loss. He tossed 6 1/3 innings, allowing three runs on eight hits and four walks while striking out six. It wasn't Clevinger's strongest outing, but he was consistently able to limit damage despite allowing plenty of base […]

Edwin Encarnacion Returns to the Lineup on Friday and Homers

Cleveland Indians designated hitter Edwin Encarnacion (back, neck) returned to the lineup on Friday and hit a home run, finishing 2-for-3 with a walk. Encarnacion missed Tuesday and Wednesday due to upper back and neck stiffness, but he was no worse for the wear on Friday. He provided the only run for Cleveland in a […]

Dominic Leone Diagnosed With Nerve Damage

St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher Dominic Leone was diagnosed with nerve damage in his throwing arm. There is no surgery planned at this point, but Leone will need "lots of rest." There's no timeline for his return to the mound, but all signs point to it being a while until Leone starts throwing again. He […]
