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.

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.

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.

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. "He's still going as fast and hard as anybody out there," Sirmans said. "He's flying around faster than anybody in that room." Jones is entering his seventh year after finishing 2022 with […]

Max Fried Lifting Weights

According to Braves manager Brian Snitker, starting pitcher Max Fried (forearm) has been lifting weights. The left-hander has been on the 15-day injured list after suffering a strained forearm. There was talk he'd miss a few months. However, the fact he's at least doing something is a positive sign. Fried had played well before going […]

Carlos Rodon Throws From 120 Feet

New York Yankees left-hander Carlos Rodon (back, elbow) threw from 120 feet on Friday. The 30-year-old tossed from 90 feet on Wednesday, so he's moving in the right direction. He'll also play catch in the coming days. Unfortunately, nobody knows when Rodón will be on the bump, which is a tough blow for the fantasy […]

Ramon Urias Moving In The Right Direction

According to Orioles skipper Brandon Hyde, infielder Ramon Urias (hamstring) traveled with the team to Toronto. Additionally, Urias hit pregame on Saturday and is set to do some light base running on Sunday. The 28-year-old is on the 10-day injured list because of a left hamstring strain. However, it sounds like he's moving in the […]

Luke Voit Sent On Rehab Assignment

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Luke Voit (neck) was sent to Triple-A Nashville for a rehab assignment. The 32-year-old has struggled in his first season in Milwaukee, batting .221 with 15 hits and 27 strikeouts in 68 at-bats. Hopefully, some time away from the big club will do Voit some good. But until he gets his […]

Elvis Andrus "A Bit Ahead Of Schedule"

According to White Sox manager Pedro Grifol, infielder Elvis Andrus (oblique) is progressing. Even better, the veteran may be working his way back sooner than anticipated. "Those oblique strains have a mind of their own," said Grifol. "His body has healed quickly from this and is able to do some things that put him a […]

Kareem Hunt Not Expected To Return To Browns

According to NFL Analyst Tony Grossi, the Browns aren't expected to bring back running back Kareem Hunt. Early in the offseason, general manager Andrew Berry didn't rule out the possibility of a return. However, it doesn't seem like it will happen, even with the Browns not addressing the backfield situation behind Nick Chubb. Hunt's production […]

DeAndre Hopkins' Contract Keeping Him In Arizona

According to Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated, Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins "seems intent on making the $19.45 million he's due." While there's no doubt the multi-time Pro Bowler has plenty of talent, teams around the National Football League aren't looking to take on such a contract. Of course, that could change sometime down […]

Darnell Mooney Expects To Be Ready For Week 1

Chicago Bears wide receiver Darnell Mooney (ankle) reported he expects to be ready for the start of the 2023 campaign. The 25-year-old had a breakout season in 2021, amassing 81 catches for 1,055 yards and five total touchdowns. However, he took a step backward last season by compiling just 40 receptions for 493 yards and […]

However, he's dealing with a case of right shoulder impingement syndrome, so […]

Carson Kelly Moved To 60-Day IL

Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Carson Kelly (forearm) was transferred to the 60-day injured list. This move is procedural, as he was already on the 10-day IL because of a right forearm fracture suffered during Spring Training. The 28-year-old had a down year in 2022, finishing with a .211 average with 71 strikeouts, so the update isn't […]

Chad Kuhl Reinstated From IL

Washington Nationals right-hander Chad Kuhl (foot) was activated from the 15-day injured list. Kuhl has been out of commission since the end of April because of a right foot injury. The 30-year-old has appeared in five games this season, starting all of them and amassing an 0-2 record with a hideous 9.41 ERA. As a […]

Derek Law Goes On The Injured List

Cincinnati Reds right-hander Derek Law landed on the 15-day injured list on Friday, retroactive to May 17. The 32-year-old has appeared in 20 games this season, amassing a 3-4 record (two starts) with a 2.57 ERA, two holds, and one save. Unfortunately, the sprained elbow will keep him off the field, although his absence won't […]

Garrett Whitlock Set For Another Rehab Start

The 26-year-old is 1-2 with a 6.19 ERA and 11 strikeouts this season but has been out of commission for a few weeks because of elbow ulnar neuritis.
