Andrew Benintendi Unlikely To Return Before Playoffs

New York Yankees outfielder Andrew Benintendi (hand, wrist) said "it's pretty safe to say the regular season is out" for his return to the team. Benintendi is hoping to be part of the team's postseason roster, but he's not sure yet when he'll resume swinging a bat. The 28-year-old suffered a broken hamate bone and […]

Joey Wendle Placed On Injured List

The Miami Marlins placed infielder Joey Wendle (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list on Thursday with left hamstring tendonitis. The Fish also put left-hander Trevor Rogers (lat) on the 15-day injured list with a left lat strain and recalled pitchers Braxton Garrett and Peyton Burdick from Triple-A Jacksonville. Garrett will likely start on Friday. Wendle's […]

Mike Soroka Lands On Injured List In Minors

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Mike Soroka (elbow) is being placed on the injured list in the minor leagues at Triple-A Gwinnett with right elbow soreness, according to a source. The good news is that there is no structural damage in his arm, but he'll now miss the rest of the season. The 25-year-old had yet […]

Yankees Reinstate Scott Effross From The Injured List

The New York Yankees reinstated right-handed reliever Scott Effross (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list on Thursday. Effross should return to a high-leverage role near the back of the Yankees bullpen over the final few weeks of the regular season. The 28-year-old has a 3.24 ERA (3.47 FIP), a 1.08 WHIP, one save and eight […]

Brandon Marsh Out On Thursday

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Brandon Marsh (knee) is not in the starting lineup on Thursday against the Atlanta Braves. It shouldn't come as a big surprise after Marsh bruised his left knee attempting to make a catch at the wall on Wednesday. The Phillies are also facing tough left-hander Max Fried in Thursday's tilt, so it […]

Jose Altuve Not Playing Against Orioles

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve (elbow) is not in the starting lineup on Thursday against the Baltimore Orioles. Altuve left Wednesday's game early after he was hit by a pitch on the elbow, so he'll take a day off on Thursday. The good news is that X-rays came back negative and he expects to […]

Yandy Diaz Still Out Thursday

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Yandy Diaz (shoulder) remains out of the starting lineup on Thursday against the Toronto Blue Jays. According to the Tampa Bay Times' Marc Topkin, Diaz recently received a cortisone shot. The 31-year-old will miss his third straight game this week due to left shoulder soreness, but he should be considered day-to-day […]

Trevor Story Lands On IL, Bobby Dalbec Recalled

The Boston Red Sox placed second baseman Trevor Story (heel) on the 10-day injured list on Thursday with a left heel contusion. The move is retroactive to Sept. 19. The Red Sox were hoping that Story could return at some point this week after getting injured on Sept. 11, but that hasn't happened. With very […]

Julio Rodriguez Leaves Early With Lower Back Tightness

Seattle Mariners rookie outfielder Julio Rodriguez (back) left the game early on Thursday against the Oakland Athletics with lower back tightness in the first inning. It's not a good sign for the 21-year-old All-Star, as he also missed three games over the weekend with the same issue. Seattle will be hoping to have Rodriguez for […]

LaMonte Wade Jr. Back In The Lineup

San Francisco Giants outfielder LaMonte Wade Jr. (hamstring) is back in left field and is hitting leadoff on Thursday against the Colorado Rockies and right-hander Jose Urena. Wade will be right back in the lineup after leaving early on Wednesday with hamstring tightness. It obviously wasn't a very serious injury for the 28-year-old left-handed hitter. […]

Dak Prescott Throwing Training Ball

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott (thumb) is back on the practice field and is gripping and throwing a training ball. He is only 10 days removed from surgery to fix his right thumb fracture, so he's not throwing regular footballs yet or taking snaps. Prescott will slowly build back up his football activities with the […]

D'Andre Swift Returns To Practice Thursday

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift (ankle) returned to practice on Thursday after being held out of Wednesday's session as a precaution. Swift tweaked his ankle in Week 1 and was questionable heading into last week's win over the Washington Commanders. He played but was in on just 51 percent of the offensive snaps and […]

George Pickens Has Been A Decoy

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie wide receiver George Pickens said he was running free in the secondary in Week 2 against the Pittsburgh Steelers "probably 90 percent" of the time. But the Steelers have used Pickens nothing more than a decoy so far through two weeks in one of the worst passing offenses so far. He has […]

Chiefs Plan To Get Skyy Moore More Involved

Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy said about rookie wide receiver Skyy Moore: "Moving forward, I guarantee you'll see more than two snaps." Moore only played two offensive snaps in the Week 2 win over the Los Angeles Chargers after playing 19 percent of the snaps in Week 1 while securing his only target […]

Zach Wilson Will Play When Ready

New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson (knee) won't make his season debut in Week 3 against the Cincinnati Bengals, but he has a chance to be cleared in Week 4 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Jets plan to turn back to Wilson, even if veteran Joe Flacco has another strong game this weekend. "No, Zach […]

Michael Gallup Likely To Be Eased In

Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy indicated that the team will likely ease wide receiver Michael Gallup (knee) into action if he makes his season debut in Week 3 against the New York Giants on Monday night. "I don't see Michael (Gallup) playing 70 plays in the game. It is his first game back," McCarthy […]

Rondale Moore Working On The Side

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Rondale Moore (hamstring) was seen working on the side in the portion of practice open to the media on Thursday. Moore missed Wednesday's practice and doesn't particularly look close to making his season debut in Week 3 against the Los Angeles Rams. He'll have a chance to return to practice on […]

James Conner Returns To Practice Thursday

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (ankle) was seen at Thursday's practice after he didn't practice on Wednesday. The Cardinals are calling Conner day-to-day, and his return to practice on Thursday is good news that he'll have a chance to play in Week 3 against the Los Angeles Rams. He's the team's clear lead back […]

Chris Godwin, Julio Jones Miss Another Practice

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receivers Chris Godwin (hamstring) and Julio Jones (knee) still aren't at practice on Thursday. Neither played last week either, and with Mike Evans suspended for Week 3 against the Green Bay Packers, the Bucs and quarterback Tom Brady could be down to Breshad Perriman, Russell Gage and Scotty Miller as their […]

Ramon Laureano Expected To Miss Rest Of The Year

Oakland Athletics center fielder Ramon Laureano (hamstring) is expected to miss the rest of the season after being placed on the 10-day injured list last Saturday with a right hamstring strain. "I'm kind of sure it's going to be a season-ending (injury)," manager Mark Kotsay said. Still, Laureano will begin a rehab program in the […]

Matt Thaiss Not Starting Thursday

Los Angeles Angels catcher Matt Thaiss is not in the starting lineup on Thursday against the Texas Rangers and a left-handed starter. Thaiss has gone hitless in eight at-bats in his last three games, so it's time for the Angels to try someone new behind the dish. He's hitting just .222 (10-for-45) with two homers, […]

Eugenio Suarez Starting To Swing

Seattle Mariners third baseman Eugenio Suarez (finger), who was put on the injured list on Saturday with a fractured right index finger, has started taking light swings again with both a softer ball and regular baseballs. He's scheduled to take batting practice during the weekend series against the Kansas City Royals. "Geno feels much better," […]

Blake Snell Fantastic Against The Cardinals

San Diego Padres left-hander Blake Snell was fantastic in his outing on Wednesday against the St. Louis Cardinals. Snell threw seven shutout innings, giving up only two hits while walking two and striking out 13 in the 1-0 win. His 13 K's tied a career-high to help him pick up his eighth win of the […]

Brendan Rodgers Still Out Thursday

Colorado Rockies second baseman Brendan Rodgers (hamstring) remains out of the starting lineup on Thursday against the San Francisco Giants. Rodgers is dealing with a hamstring injury and was last in the lineup on Sunday. There's a chance he'll be back in the lineup this weekend against the San Diego Padres, though, since his MRI […]

Stephen Vogt To Retire After The Season

Oakland Athletics catcher Stephen Vogt announced that he will retire from professional baseball after this season. Vogt will retire a 10-year veteran (six seasons with the A's) in which he was a two-time All-Star. The 37-year-old played for the A's, Rays, Diamondbacks, Giants, Braves and Brewers during his career. Vogt currently has a .239/.302/.406 slash […]

C.J. Cron Out Against Giants

Colorado Rockies first baseman C.J. Cron (hand) is not in the starting lineup on Thursday against the San Francisco Giants. Cron was hit in the hand by a pitch on Wednesday and is dealing with a left hand contusion, so he'll sit out for at least one game. The right-handed power hitter is batting .238 […]

Shohei Ohtani Not Starting Thursday

Los Angeles Angels designated hitter Shohei Ohtani is not in the starting lineup on Thursday against the Texas Rangers. It looks to be just a normal day of rest for the 28-year-old two-way superstar. In 16 games this month, Ohtani has gone 16-for-61 (.262) with four home runs, seven RBI and nine runs scored. He's […]

Treylon Burks Limited With Ankle Injury

Tennessee Titans rookie wide receiver Treylon Burks (ankle) was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. Burks' injury doesn't sound overly serious, so barring a setback later this week, he should be able to suit up in Week 3 against the Las Vegas Raiders. Through his first two NFL games, the 22-year-old first-rounder has […]

Hunter Renfrow Absent On Wednesday

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Hunter Renfrow (concussion) was not seen at practice on Wednesday after suffering a concussion in the Week 2 overtime loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Renfrow looked like his 2021 self last weekend before suffering his head injury, securing seven of his 10 targets for 59 yards on 69 percent of […]

Isaiah Likely On The Week 3 Injury Report

Baltimore Ravens rookie tight end Isaiah Likely (groin) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday. Likely failed to haul in any of his four targets in his NFL debut in the season opener, but he got on the board in the Week 2 loss to the Miami Dolphins, catching four of five targets […]
