Chris Long Mulling Over a "Football Decision"

Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Chris Long is reportedly mulling over a "football decision" on whether or not he will return to the team in 2018. The Eagles offered the 33-year-old veteran a raise, but the addition of defensive end Michael Bennett to the team has Long questioning his role. Reading between the lines, it isn't […]

Michael Brantley Will Make His Cactus League Debut on Wednesday Night

Cleveland Indians outfielder Michael Brantley (ankle) is scheduled to make his 2018 Cactus League debut on Wednesday night when Cleveland takes on the Kansas City Royals. Brantley is coming back from major ankle surgery in the offseason, and while he's been working out and practicing with the team, he's yet to get into an actual […]

Allen Hurns Visiting the Cowboys

Free-agent wide receiver Allen Hurns is visiting the Dallas Cowboys on Wednesday. Hurns was released by Jacksonville and almost immediately had several visits planned. He was scheduled to take a visit with the New York Jets, but weather issues led him to choose to travel to Dallas first instead. Hurns would be a significant upgrade […]

Deonte Thompson Visiting the Cowboys

Free-agent wide receiver Deonte Thompson is visiting the Dallas Cowboys on Wednesday. Thompson ended up as one of the biggest playmakers in the Buffalo passing game last season, catching 27 passes for 430 yards and a touchdown in 11 games. He'd likely serve as a deep threat in Dallas if he signs with the Cowboys, […]

Giovanny Urshela Dealing With a Tight Hamstring

Cleveland Indians infielder Giovanny Urshela is listed as day-to-day with a tight hamstring. He was forced to leave Monday's Cactus League game after running out a ninth-inning double, but it seems he's avoided any serious injury. He'll get a day or two off, but should be right back on the field after that. Urshela is […]

Cowboys Acquire Jamize Olawale

The Dallas Cowboys acquired fullback Jamize Olawale from the Oakland Raiders on Tuesday. Oakland also sent its sixth-round pick to Dallas, while Dallas sent back its fifth-rounder. After Keith Smith signed with the Raiders, the Cowboys were on the lookout for a new fullback to replace him. Olawale won't have fantasy value, but he's a […]

Bradley Zimmer Scratched from Monday's Lineup

Cleveland Indians outfielder Bradley Zimmer was scratched from Monday's Cactus League lineup due to a mild left groin strain. He'll be replaced by Tyler Naquin. There doesn't seem to be much concern around Zimmer, and he should be back in the lineup in the next few days.

Dontrelle Inman Visiting the Cowboys

Free-agent wide receiver Dontrelle Inman will visit the Dallas Cowboys. Inman caught 23 passes for 334 yards and a touchdown after joining the Bears last season and was a solid complementary piece for the Chargers before that. He's not a difference maker, but he'd be a solid option opposite Dez Bryant in the Cowboys offense.

Ryan Hanigan Released

The Cleveland Indians released catcher Ryan Hanigan on Monday. Hanigan was a non-roster invitee in Cleveland's camp, and hit just .154 in Cactus League play. He's a veteran with experience and will try to latch on with a new team before Opening Day, although he's unlikely to crack a big league roster to start the […]

Melvin Upton Released

The Cleveland Indians released outfielder Melvin Upton on Monday. The veteran only managed a .189/.250/.297 batting line in 40 Cactus League plate appearances, making the decision easy for Cleveland. He'll try to work his way onto a new team before Opening Day, but it's looking like he'll have a hard time making it onto a […]

Carson Kelly Optioned to Triple-A Memphis

St. Louis Cardinals catcher Carson Kelly was optioned to Triple-A Memphis on Sunday. Kelly is the team's top catching prospect and one of the top catching prospects in baseball. Yadier Molina is sticking around for another few years, but the job is Kelly's once Yadi retires. He may have had a chance to make the […]

Luke Gregerson Works a Perfect Inning in his Return to the Mound

St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher Luke Gregerson (oblique) pitched a perfect inning in his return to Grapefruit League play. It was Gregerson's first time back on the mound in 15 days, as he'd been rehabbing an oblique injury since early in camp. Gregerson was the favorite for saves when spring training began, but his injury has […]

Jose Ramirez Will Return to the Lineup on Monday

Cleveland Indians infielder Jose Ramirez (ankle) will return to the lineup on Monday. Ramirez went down in Saturday's Cactus League game but was able to make it off the field under his own power. He ended up with just a bone bruise, which was the best-case scenario. He'll be ready for Opening Day and should […]

Cowboys Re-Sign L.P. Ladouceur

The Dallas Cowboys and long snapper L.P. Ladouceur have agreed to a one-year contract. Ladouceur has been with the Cowboys for 14 seasons and has not made a bad snap as a member of the team. He'll continue to play a key role on special teams for at least one more year.

Yan Gomes Will Be Behind the Plate on Sunday

Cleveland Indians catcher Yan Gomes (arm) is scheduled to catch Sunday's Cactus League game. Gomes was resting due to "minor arm soreness" and it seems like it may have been just that, as he'll be back behind the plate for Sunday's game. Gomes will be part of a catching platoon in Cleveland along with Roberto […]

Jose Ramirez Leaves Saturday's Game Due to an Ankle Injury

Cleveland Indians infielder Jose Ramirez was forced to leave Saturday's Cactus League game due to an ankle bruise. Ramirez went down and certainly worried his fantasy owners, but he was able to leave the field on his own and is only dealing with an ankle bruise. Because it's Spring Training, Ramirez will likely miss a […]

Vinny Curry Released by the Eagles

The Philadelphia Eagles release defensive end Vinny Curry. His contract would have been guaranteed on Sunday, so after Curry refused to take a pay cut, the Eagles were forced to set him free. Curry's career as an Eagle was essentially over once the team acquired defensive end Michael Bennett. Curry was excellent last season, grading […]

Alex Reyes Won't Pitch This Month and Won't Have a Defined Role in 2018

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Alex Reyes won't pitch in any Grapefruit League games this spring. Pitching coach Mike Maddux said it is not due to any setbacks, just a precautionary measure to make sure Reyes stays healthy. Reyes will not have a defined role in the 2018 season, instead pitching in a "hybrid" role […]

Luke Gregerson Faces Live Hitters on Friday

St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher Luke Gregerson (oblique) faced live hitters on Friday in his continued return from injury. Gregerson's next step will likely be to appear in a Grapefruit League game. If he pitches well and avoids any setbacks, he may still start the season as the team's closer. For now, that job seems […]

Mike Clevinger Will Be Back on the Mound on Sunday

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Mike Clevinger (illness) will return to the mound on Sunday. Clevinger was scratched from his last Cactus League start due to an illness, but it was never considered serious and he should be back on track on Sunday. Clevinger has made the Opening Day rotation, and should be able to keep […]

Yan Gomes Sidelined With Minor Arm Soreness

Cleveland Indians catcher Yan Gomes is currently sidelined with what is being described as "minor arm soreness." Gomes will not be behind the plate again until Monday at the earliest, and he won't make the trip to Las Vegas with the team. He will stay back and work as the designated hitter in minor league […]

Danny Salazar Long Tossing from 130 Feet

Cleveland Indians pitcher Danny Salazar (shoulder) has been long tossing from 130 feet. Manager Terry Francona also implied that Salazar was close to returning to throw on the mound. Salazar has been dealing with a rotator cuff injury in his throwing shoulder and has already been ruled out for Opening Day. Josh Tomlin will be […]

Cowboys Out on Ndamukong Suh

The Dallas Cowboys showed interest in signing free-agent defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh when he was first made available, but a recent reports say the team is now "out" on the former Miami Dolphin. Suh has never missed a game due to injury and is still performing at a high level. The New Orleans Saints and […]

Michael Brantley Successfully Works Through Outfield Drills

Cleveland Indians outfielder Michael Brantley (ankle) successfully worked his way through outfield drills on Thursday. Manager Terry Francona told reporters that Brantley was "doing terrific." Brantley was also able to get a pair of at-bats in a minor league game on Wednesday. Brantley comes with nice upside, but the surgery he underwent to strengthen ligaments […]

Mike Clevinger Scratched Due to Illness

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Mike Clevinger was scratched from Thursday's Cactus League start due to an illness. Evan Marshall will take the mound to start the game off against the Cincinnati Reds in Clevinger's place. Clevinger is already guaranteed a spot in the starting rotation, at least to kick off the season, so missing Thursday's […]

Zach Ertz Restructures His Contract

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz has agreed to restructure his contract. $7.21 million of Ertz's salary was converted into a roster bonus. Without changing how much money Ertz will make, this move saves the Eagles $5.407 million in salary cap space. They'll likely need to keep getting creative with restructures and new free-agent contracts […]

Cowboys and Seahawks Interested in Ndamukong Suh

The Dallas Cowboys and Seattle Seahawks are the first two teams rumored to have interest in free-agent defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh. Suh was recently released by the Miami Dolphins. He has never missed a game due to injury and is still playing at a high level. The team that signs him will be getting a […]

Michael Bennett Agrees to Restructure His Contract

Brand new Philadelphia Eagles defensive lineman Michael Bennett has agreed to restructure his contract. Despite being up against the salary cap and having to make other moves to lower their cap hits, Bennett's restructure actually raises his cap number from $5.65 million to $7.375 million. $1.725 million of that will be given to him as […]

Eagles Release Brent Celek

The Philadelphia Eagles released veteran tight end Brent Celek. Celek was the Eagles longest-tenured player and now he'll be a free agent. Almost strictly a blocking tight end at this point in his career, Celek should be able to find a new team before long, but he won't have any real fantasy value going forward.

Eagles Sign Corey Nelson

The Philadelphia Eagles signed former Denver Broncos linebacker Corey Nelson to a one-year contract. He was only able to play in five games last season due to a biceps injury, but he appeared in all 16 games in each of the previous three seasons. He'll be a reserve or rotational inside linebacker, but more importantly, […]
