Bills, Chiefs Had "Substantive" Talks About Trading For DeAndre Hopkins

According to Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated, only the Bills and Cardinals had "substantive" talks with the Cardinals about trading for DeAndre Hopkins. Of course, nobody made a move, and Arizona released him on Friday. Since the multi-time Pro Bowler became a free agent, several teams have emerged as potential suitors. However, other clubs like […]

Travis Etienne Jr. Working On "Fine-Tuning" Skills

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. entered training camp last offseason working his way back from a foot injury that cost him his rookie year. However, the 24-year-old is healthy this offseason, so he's focused on "fine-tuning" his skills. "Last year was more about getting healthy and getting back," said Etienne during OTAs. "This […]

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Cristian Pache (knee) is expected to begin a rehab assignment at Low-A Clearwater on Wednesday.

Although it's […]

Darick Hall Expected To Start Rehab Assignment Tuesday

Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Darick Hall (thumb) is expected to begin a rehab assignment at Low-A Clearwater on Tuesday. The 27-year-old played sparingly this season, compiling a .222 average with four hits, one run, and one RBI in 18 at-bats. Unfortunately, he tore a ligament in his right thumb in early April and went under […]

Jose Alvarado Misses Bullpen Session On Saturday

Philadelphia Phillies reliever Jose Alvarado (elbow) didn't throw in the bullpen on Saturday as planned, citing "soreness." Instead, he played catch. The left-hander has been on the shelf since May 10 after posting a 0.63 ERA and five saves in seven tries this season. Hopefully, the latest update isn't anything too serious, and he will […]

Thairo Estrada Heads To 10-Day Injured List

San Francisco Giants infielder Thairo Estrada (wrist) landed on the 10-day injured list on Saturday, retroactive to May 26. The 27-year-old has had a productive season, amassing a .301 average with 58 hits, 30 runs, 17 RBI, and 13 stolen bases in 193 at-bats. He's dealing with wrist soreness, so fantasy managers hope his stint […]

Gabe Vincent Questionable On Saturday

Miami Heat guard Gabe Vincent (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's crucial postseason matchup versus the Celtics. The 26-year-old has played well during this series, averaging 17.5 points while shooting 50% from deep.

Bam Adebayo Good To Go For Game 6

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (shoulder) is available for Saturday's matchup against the Celtics. The 25-year-old has dealt with lingering shoulder soreness throughout the postseason. However, he'll continue to wear a compression shirt for extra support and suit up for a pivotable Game 6. Adebayo hasn't played the best at home during this series, averaging […]

Malcolm Brogdon Questionable For Game 6

Boston Celtics guard Malcolm Brogdon (forearm) is questionable for Saturday's postseason meeting with the Miami Heat. The reigning Sixth Man of the Year is plagued by a partial tear in his right forearm. However, he's been dealing with it for a while, so it would be surprising if he didn't suit up for Game 6. […]

Brad Keller To Throw Bullpen Session On Saturday

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Brad Keller (shoulder) will throw a bullpen session on Saturday. The 27-year-old is 3-4 with a 4.36 ERA and 31 strikeouts in 43 1/3 inning this season. Unfortunately, he landed on the 15-day injured list nearly a week ago because of right shoulder impingement syndrome. However, it appears Keller is […]

Michael Brantley Not Hitting Yet

According to Astros manager Dusty Baker, outfielder Michael Brantley (shoulder) hasn't resumed hitting. Although the 36-year-old has swung a bat, it doesn't appear he's anywhere close to a return. Brantley has been on the shelf since June 2022 and underwent surgery in August. At this rate, nobody knows for sure when he will be back […]

Jose Urquidy Throws On Flat Ground

Houston Astros starting pitcher Jose Urquidy (shoulder) threw from flat ground on Friday. The 28-year-old has been on the injured list since May 1 because of shoulder inflammation.

John Means Suffers Setback

According to Orioles general manager Mike Elias, starting pitcher John Means (elbow, back) suffered a setback.

Dillon Tate To Remain On The Injured List

Baltimore Orioles reliever Dillon Tate (elbow) will remain on the 15-day injured list. The right-hander was battling a forearm flexor strain and recently finished a rehab assignment. Unfortunately, he's now dealing with an elbow stress reaction and was shut down as a result. Tate finished the 2022 season with a 4-4 record and a 3.05 […]

According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, the Bills are considered one of the favorites to land free-agent wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins.

Bucs Expect Devin White At Minicamp

According to Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times, the Bucs expect linebacker Devin White to attend mandatory minicamp in June. The 25-year-old wasn't at voluntary OTAs.

New York Giants tight end Darren Waller appears to be adjusting to life on his new team. He also seems to have embraced playing under head coach Brian Daboll. "They value our opinions here," said Waller at OTAs on Thursday. "As a player, I feel like a lot of places I've gone, you're told to […]

Dalvin Cook Now Considering A Pay Cut?

According to Darren "Doogie" Wolfson of KSTP, who "spoke to someone in the know," Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook may now be considering playing on a reduced salary. "The possibility exists that Dalvin will rework his deal, take some sort of cut, realize that there really isn't another opportunity out there," said Wolfson during […]

Josh Allen More Focused This Offseason

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott stated that quarterback Josh Allen is "more focused" this offseason. "I've seen a different Josh," commented McDermott.

He […]

Devin Duvernay Practicing In Limited Capacity

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Devin Duvernay (foot) has practiced in a limited capacity at organized team activities. "Duv has been out there working hard, and he's kind of building stamina back up and everything," commented head coach John Harbaugh. "He's doing a good job." The 25-year-old suffered a broken metatarsal in his foot during practice […]

Rashod Bateman "Right On Schedule"

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (foot) has participated in OTAs, albeit in a limited capacity.

Fortunately, head coach John Harbaugh provided a positive update, reporting the wideout is "right on schedule" regarding his […]

Cody Zeller Will Suit Up Against Boston

Miami Heat center Cody Zeller (nose) is available for Sunday's postseason outing versus the Celtics. The 30-year-old has averaged just 2.8 rebounds and 2.3 points in 9.3 minutes per game during the playoffs. He'll likely see a similar workload for Game 3, meaning DFS managers should stay away from him.

Omer Yurtseven Cleared To Suit Up On Sunday

Miami Heat center Omer Yurtseven (nose) is available for Sunday's playoff contest against Boston. The 24-year-old has seen only four minutes of action during the postseason, so he probably will continue to sit unless Cody Zeller (nose) misses time. However, Zeller is good to go for Game 3, meaning Yurtseven offers nothing to DFS managers.

Bam Adebayo Available For Game 3

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (shoulder) is available for Sunday's matchup against the Celtics. The big man remains on the injury report because of nagging right shoulder discomfort, which is nothing new. However, with the Heat looking to inch another game closer to the NBA Finals, it would have been surprising not to see him […]

Hanser Alberto Day-To-Day

Chicago White Sox infielder Hanser Alberto (shoulder) exited Sunday's meeting with the Royals because of left shoulder soreness. The team announced he's day-to-day. The 30-year-old is batting .222 this season and has benefited from injuries throughout the lineup by receiving extra playing time. However, he's not rostered in many fantasy leagues, so a trip to […]

Aaron Jones "Hasn't Missed A Beat"

According to Packers running backs coach Ben Sirmans, Aaron Jones "hasn't missed a beat," a statement he made during a recent practice session.
