Jordan Lawlar Looking Good In Arizona Fall League

Arizona Diamondbacks shortstop prospect Jordan Lawlar hit a combined .303/.401/.509 with a .910 OPS, 16 home runs, 62 RBI, 98 runs scored and 39 stolen bases in four minor-league stops during the 2022 season, but he finished up his year hitting just .212 with four homers, 11 RBI and 28 strikeouts in 20 games with […]

Tyler Anderson Gets The Ball For Game 4 Of NLDS

Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander Tyler Anderson will start in Game 4 of the National League Division Series on Saturday against the division-rival San Diego Padres. The Dodgers went with left-handers in the first two games of the series but will break that up with righty Tony Gonsolin in Game 3 on Friday. Anderson had a […]

Tony Gonsolin Will Have Some Limitations

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said there will be some limitations on how deep right-hander Tony Gonsolin can go in Game 3 of the National League Division Series on Friday against the San Diego Padres, but he's built up to "upwards of 75 pitches." As a result, they won't necessarily have a "bulk" innings […]

Chris Olave Makes Progress Thursday

New Orleans Saints rookie wide receiver Chris Olave (concussion) took another step forward on Thursday in his recovery from a concussion that he suffered in the Week 5 win over the Seattle Seahawks. Olave took part in football activities during the open portion of practice. If he has no symptoms, the next step would be […]

Michael Thomas, Jarvis Landry Still Not Practicing

New Orleans Saints wide receivers Michael Thomas (foot) and Jarvis Landry (ankle) were both held out of practice for the second straight day this week on Thursday. Thomas has missed the last two games, while Landry was inactive in the Week 5 win over the Seattle Seahawks. Both receivers will likely need to practice on […]

Justice Hill Back On The Practice Field

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill (hamstring) returned to practice on Thursday after being sidelined on Wednesday. It will be Hill's first practice since getting injured in Week 4. He missed the Week 5 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. The 24-year-old has been efficient with his touches -- 19 carries for 125 yards (career-high 6.6 […]

Rashod Bateman Not Practicing Thursday

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (foot) is missing practice for the second straight day this week on Thursday. It's Bateman's fifth straight missed practice overall, and he doesn't look to be close to returning after being inactive for Sunday night's win over the Cincinnati Bengals. The 22-year-old will need to get in some practice […]

Brian Robinson Expected To Start On Thursday

Washington Commanders rookie running back Brian Robinson is expected to start on Thursday Night Football against the Chicago Bears. Robinson led the team's backfield in the Week 5 loss to the Tennessee Titans in his NFL debut, so this shouldn't be a huge surprise. But it's a great story for the 23-year-old, who got a […]

Tee Higgins Unable To Practice Thursday

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (ankle) was not in uniform and did not practice on Thursday for the second straight day this week. Higgins aggravated his ankle injury early in Sunday night's loss to the Baltimore Ravens and gave his fantasy managers a donut in the scoring column, and he's trending towards missing Week […]

Christian Watson Hasn't Practiced This Week

Green Bay Packers rookie wide receiver Christian Watson (hamstring) wasn't practicing with the team for the second straight day on Thursday. Watson left the Week 5 loss to the New York Giants in London early due to a right hamstring injury, and he's on the wrong track to return to action in Week 6 against […]

Aaron Rodgers Back At Practice Thursday

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (thumb) took part in Thursday's practice after being held out on Wednesday. Rodgers is dealing with a right thumb injury, but he was able to do individual drills on Thursday and should be just fine for the Week 6 meeting against the New York Jets. As predicted, the 38-year-old […]

James Conner Expected To Miss Week 6

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (ribs) is expected to miss the Week 6 game against the Seattle Seahawks and potentially even more time, according to league sources. Darrel Williams (knee) has already been ruled out this weekend and Jonathan Ward (hamstring) has been placed on Injured Reserve, so Eno Benjamin and rookie Keaontay Ingram […]

Triston McKenzie To Start Game 3 Of ALDS

Cleveland Guardians right-hander Triston McKenzie will start in Game 3 of the American League Division Series on Saturday against the New York Yankees. Manager Terry Francona said the team is leaning toward not starting right-hander Shane Bieber, who will start Game 2 on Friday, on short rest for a potential series-deciding Game 5, but that's […]

Jake Meyers Gets The Start In Game 2

Houston Astros outfielder Jake Meyers is starting in center field and is batting eighth in Game 2 of the American League Division Series against the Seattle Mariners and right-hander Luis Castillo on Thursday. He'll take over for Chas McCormick, who went 1-for-2 with a run scored in the Game 1 win on Tuesday. Meyers entered […]

Rockies Part Ways With Hitting Coach Dave Magadan

The Colorado Rockies and hitting coach Dave Magadan have mutually agreed to part ways following the 2022 season. Third base coach/infield coach Stu Cole has also been reassigned to a minor league staff position. The moves come after the Rockies finished 68-94 and in last place in the National League West. The 60-year-old Magadan had […]

Spencer Strider Was Available In Relief In Game 2

Atlanta Braves rookie right-hander Spencer Strider (oblique) was available out of the bullpen in the Game 2 win over the Philadelphia Phillies in the National League Division Series on Wednesday. Manager Brian Snitker still hasn't announced his Game 3 starter for Friday, so it's possible that Strider will get the nod, although it's probably more […]

Guardians-Yankees Game 2 Postponed

Game 2 of the American League Division Series on Thursday between the Cleveland Guardians and New York Yankees in the Bronx has been postponed due to inclement weather. The game has been rescheduled for Friday, Oct. 14. Right-hander Shane Bieber was scheduled to pitch for the Guardians, while left-hander Nestor Cortes was in line to […]

Dylan Moore Starting In Game 2 Against Astros

Seattle Mariners outfielder Dylan Moore is starting in left field and is batting sixth in Game 2 of the American League Division Series on Thursday against the Houston Astros and left-hander Framber Valdez. With the left-hander on the mound, the lefty hitting Jarred Kelenic will start on the bench. Moore has gone 0-for-2 with a […]

Kyle Pitts Practicing Again Thursday

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts (hamstring) is practicing for the second straight day on Thursday. Pitts was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday, but it's great news that he's back on the field after being held out of the Week 5 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Barring some sort of setback, […]

William Jackson III Could Be Traded

Washington Commanders cornerback William Jackson III (back) wants a fresh start, preferably with a team that has a defensive scheme that fits him better. The Commanders have engaged in trade talks centered around him with hopes of making something happen, according to sources. There has been interest in Jackson from several teams. The likelihood is […]

Raheem Mostert Returns To Practice Thursday

Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (knee) returned to practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. Perhaps the Dolphins were just resting Mostert after he had a season-high 18 carries for 113 yards and a touchdown on the ground in the Week 5 loss to the New York Jets. While the Dolphins refuse to […]

Dolphins Not Ready To Label Raheem Mostert As Lead Back

Miami Dolphins offensive coordinator Frank Smith isn't ready to label running back Raheem Mostert as the team's lead back despite his recent success on the ground. "We're fortunate to have two backs. Raheem is playing some really good football," but Smith noted Chase Edmonds will get his opportunities. Mostert looked exactly like the lead back […]

Russell Gage Returns To Practice Thursday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Russell Gage (ankle) returned to the practice field on Thursday after being listed as a non-participant on Wednesday. Gage has mostly dealt with a hamstring issue this year, so the ankle injury is a new one. However, the fact that he's back at practice is a good sign that the […]

Julio Jones Missing Another Practice

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Julio Jones (knee) was not practicing on Thursday in the portion open to the media. It's Jones' second straight missed practice this week, so it's looking unlikely that he'll play in Week 6 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. If he doesn't play this weekend, he'll have sat out four of the […]

Teddy Bridgewater To Be Limited Thursday

Miami Dolphins quarterback Teddy Bridgewater (concussion) will be on the practice field on Thursday on a limited, non-contact basis, according to a source. It's another step in the concussion protocol for Bridgewater, but even if he clears the protocol and is active in Week 6 against the Minnesota Vikings, he'll serve as the backup to […]

Carson Wentz Battling Biceps Tendon Strain

Washington Commanders quarterback Carson Wentz (biceps) will play on Thursday night against the Chicago Bears in Week 6, but he'll be playing through a biceps tendon strain near his throwing shoulder that raised questions about his availability on a short week, according to sources. He is sore and not 100 percent, but he looked good […]

Jonathan Taylor Will Practice Thursday

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) will return to practice on Thursday, according to a source. The All-Pro running back was held out of practice on Wednesday and didn't play in last Thursday's overtime win over the Denver Broncos, but he has a chance to return this Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Nyheim Hines […]

Aledmys Diaz Serving As DH In Game 2

Houston Astros infielder Aledmys Diaz is serving as the designated hitter and is batting seventh in Game 2 of the American League Division Series on Thursday against the Seattle Mariners and right-hander Luis Castillo. Trey Mancini will retreat to the bench after serving as the team's DH in the Game 1 win on Tuesday. Jake […]

Tyler Zuber Resumes Throwing

Kansas City Royals right-handed reliever Tyler Zuber (shoulder) posted a video on his Twitter account on Wednesday of him throwing again on flat ground. Zuber missed all of the 2022 season while recovering from a right shoulder impingement, but he looks to be healthy now and ready to pitch in 2023. The 27-year-old has posted […]

Cody Bellinger Will Start On Bench In Game 3

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that outfielder Trayce Thompson will start Game 3 of the National League Division Series against the San Diego Padres on Friday in center field, not Cody Bellinger against Padres left-hander Blake Snell. Chris Taylor (neck) will make his first appearance in the postseason in left field. Bellinger actually […]
