Dodgers Expected To Release Trevor Bauer

The Los Angeles Dodgers are expected to release starting pitcher Trevor Bauer after his suspension was reduced by 130 games and he became eligible to play in 2023. The word around the Dodgers clubhouse is that they would prefer that he pitch elsewhere next season. It remains to be seen if a small-market club that […]

Cubs, Orioles Looking At Eric Hosmer

The Chicago Cubs and Baltimore Orioles have free-agent first baseman Eric Hosmer on their radar after he was recently released by the Boston Red Sox. The Miami Marlins, who continue to look for more hitters, also make some sense for Hosmer. The 33-year-old spent the first 90 games of the 2022 season with the San […]

Rockies Have Interest In Edward Cabrera, Corey Dickerson

The Colorado Rockies have talked about acquiring starting pitcher Edward Cabrera from the Miami Marlins, who are seeking hitters, even after signing infielder Jean Segura this week. The Marlins have sought Rockies infielder Brendan Rodgers. The Marlins plan on using Segura at third base and already have Jazz Chisholm locked in at the keystone. The […]

Yankees May Pass On Free-Agent Outfielders

The New York Yankees may pass on the remaining free-agent left fielders such as Jurickson Profar, David Peralta and Corey Dickerson because they want to stay below the $293 million "Steven Cohen tax" threshold -- they are currently sitting at $290 million. The Yanks aren't opposed to giving Oswaldo Cabrera and Estevan Florial a shot […]

Twins Re-Sign Danny Coulombe

The Minnesota Twins re-signed left-handed reliever Danny Coulombe to a minor-league deal on Friday that includes an invitation to spring training next year. Coulombe became a free agent in October when he refused an outright assignment to the minor leagues, but he'll return to Minnesota for the 2023 campaign. The 33-year-old southpaw had a lost […]

Antonio Gibson Ruled Out Against Browns

Washington Commanders running back Antonio Gibson (foot, knee) missed practice all week and was officially ruled out on Friday for the Week 17 contest against the Cleveland Browns on New Year's Day. The Commanders said earlier in the week that Gibson's injury wasn't considered serious, so perhaps he'll be able to make it back for […]

Stay Away From Brandon McManus This Weekend

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus should remain well off the fantasy radar at the kicking position for a Week 17 tilt against the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs. In the first meeting against KC in Week 14, McManus made four extra points but didn't attempt a single field goal. The Broncos did have a season-high 28 […]

Chase Edmonds Can't Be Trusted In Week 17

Denver Broncos running back Chase Edmonds returned from Injured Reserve in Week 16 and was the team's No. 2 back behind Latavius Murray in the 51-14 drubbing at the hands of the Los Angeles Rams. He carried the ball six times for 31 yards and caught both of his targets in the passing game for […]

Latavius Murray Hard To Trust Against Chiefs

Denver Broncos running back Latavius Murray continues to be the team's lead back, but it doesn't mean that he's been very attractive for fantasy managers in the NFL's lowest-scoring offense. In last week's blowout loss to the Los Angeles Rams, he had a season-low-tying eight carries for just 34 yards and caught one pass for […]

Chris Streveler Unlikely To Be Active

New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh said he's unsure if quarterback Chris Streveler will be called up to the active game-day roster in Week 17 against the Seattle Seahawks, but The Athletic's Zack Rosenblatt would guess that Streveler won't be active. Streveler was called into action last Thursday night when Zach Wilson was benched […]

Tua Tagovailoa Officially Ruled Out

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) has officially been ruled out for Week 17 against the New England Patriots, according to head coach Mike McDaniel. Tagovailoa suffered his second concussion of the year in the Christmas Day loss to the Green Bay Packers and has been away from the team this week, so backup Teddy […]

Ravens To Resume Negotiations With Lamar Jackson

The Baltimore Ravens will reportedly resume long-term contract negotiations with quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee) after the 2023 season. Jackson bet on himself without a long-term deal locked up heading into the 2022 season, and he's now missed a month due to a sprained PCL in his knee that he suffered in Week 13 against the […]

Eagles Not Naming A Starting QB For Week 17 Yet

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni doesn't appear to be in a rush to name his starting quarterback for Week 17 against the New Orleans Saints after Jalen Hurts (shoulder) had a good practice on Thursday. Sirianni said: "We're still sorting through that" and "Jalen's health is the first thing you think of." The 24-year-old […]

Russell Wilson Has Some Upside In Week 17

Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson returned from a one-game absence due to a concussion in Week 16 on Christmas Day and posted yet another dud, going 15-for-27 for 214 yards, one touchdown and a season-high three interceptions in a 51-14 blowout loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Despite the poor performance and downright ugly season […]

Tyler Biadasz Injured Thursday Night

Dallas Cowboys center Tyler Biadasz (ankle) was injured in the second half of the Thursday night game against the Tennessee Titans and is being listed as questionable to return. He left the field after being rolled up on and was carted to the locker room, so there's a good chance we won't see him again […]

Padres Could Trade Ha-Seong Kim, Trent Grisham

The San Diego Padres have publicly downplayed the possibility of trading infielder Ha-Seong Kim or center fielder Trent Grisham this offseason in order to acquire more starting pitching. However, industry sources have indicated that the Padres are open to discussing either player -- Grisham, in particular. The Miami Marlins are a team that could make […]

Broncos Sign Tyler Badie To Active Roster

The Denver Broncos signed rookie running back Tyler Badie to their active 53-man roster on Thursday after he terminated his practice-squad contract with the Baltimore Ravens, according to a league source. Badie, a sixth-rounder out of Missouri, could make his NFL debut in the final two weeks of the season, but he'll also be behind […]

Hayden Hurst Practices In Full Thursday

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Hayden Hurst (calf) practiced in full on Thursday. With Hurst being a full practice participant in the first practice of the week, he's on track to make his return on Monday Night Football against the Buffalo Bills for the first time since Week 13. The 29-year-old should reclaim his job as […]

Dare Ogunbowale Pops Up On Injury Report

Houston Texans running back Dare Ogunbowale (knee) was added to the Week 17 injury report after being limited in practice on Thursday. With rookie Dameon Pierce (ankle) out the last two weeks, Ogunbowale has seen eight carries in each of the last two games and has picked up a total of 42 rushing yards as […]

Diontae Johnson Returns To Full Practice Thursday

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson (hip) was a full participant in practice on Thursday after he was limited on Wednesday. Johnson is fully expected to be able to play on Sunday night against the division-rival Baltimore Ravens. While the fourth-year wideout has been a big disappointment with no touchdowns so far in 2022, he […]

Tua Tagovailoa's Potential Return Is Unclear

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) remained away from the team on Thursday, which is another indicator that he's unlikely to play in Week 17 against the New England Patriots. His absence could extend even further, as nobody knows when he may be back, not even his brother. Tagovailoa suffered his second concussion of the […]

A.J. Green Returns To Practice Thursday

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver A.J. Green (illness) was back on the practice field on Thursday after missing Wednesday's walkthrough session. He was officially listed as limited. Barring some sort of setback with his illness, the 34-year-old should be fine to play in Week 17 against the Atlanta Falcons, but fantasy managers will want to stay […]

James Conner Not Seen At Practice Thursday

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (illness) wasn't seen at the portion of practice open to the media on Thursday, which would mark his second straight missed practice this week. As long as Conner is able to return to practice in some fashion on Friday, he should be good to go for the Week 17 […]

Dodgers Designate Jake Reed For Assignment

The Los Angeles Dodgers designated right-hander Jake Reed for assignment on Thursday in order to make room on the 40-man roster for the recently signed J.D. Martinez. It's the second time that Reed has been cut from a roster this offseason. The 30-year-old was DFA'd the first time by the Boston Red Sox in November […]

Marlins Plan To Use Jean Segura At The Hot Corner

The Miami Marlins plan to use newly signed infielder Jean Segura at third base next season, according to manager Skip Schumaker. The Marlins signed the 32-year-old veteran to a two-year, $17 million deal on Wednesday night. Segura played exclusively at second base for the Philadelphia Phillies last year and he can also play shortstop, but […]

Blue Jays Sign Julian Fernandez

The Toronto Blue Jays signed hard-throwing right-hander Julian Fernandez to a minor-league deal on Thursday, according to a source. The 27-year-old relief pitcher spent the 2022 season at Triple-A Albuquerque and was prone to giving up the long ball. He spent the 2021 season with the Colorado Rockies and averaged 99 mph with his fastball […]

P.J. Higgins Designated For Assignment

The Chicago Cubs designated catcher/infielder P.J. Higgins for assignment on Thursday to open up a spot on the 40-man roster for recently signed catcher Tucker Barnhart. Higgins is the odd man out at the catcher position for the Cubs after they signed Barnhart to a two-year deal this offseason. The 29-year-old backstop spent his first […]

Yankees Ink Tyler Danish To Minor-League Deal

The New York Yankees signed free-agent right-hander Tyler Danish to a minor-league deal on Thursday that includes an invite to major-league spring training. Danish spent last season with the Boston Red Sox, appearing in 32 games out of the bullpen while compiling a 5.13 ERA (4.97 FIP), 1.28 WHIP and 18.5 percent strikeout rate in […]

Deebo Samuel Practicing On Thursday

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel (ankle, knee) was indeed practicing on Thursday. Samuel was seen doing a little dancing and also ran some routes. It doesn't mean he will return this Sunday to face the Las Vegas Raiders, but it's a great sign for his availability in the playoffs. Thursday is Samuel's first […]

Chris Olave Puts In Another Limited Practice

New Orleans Saints rookie wide receiver Chris Olave (hamstring) was limited in practice for the second day in a row on Thursday. The 22-year-old first-rounder didn't practice at all last week and missed the Week 16 win over the Cleveland Browns. However, he's back on the field this week and looks primed to return to […]
