Lamar Jackson Practices In Full

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (elbow) was a full participant in Thursday's practice after he was limited on Wednesday. Jackson is dealing with a sore right elbow, but head coach John Harbaugh said on Wednesday that Jackson will play in Week 3 against the New England Patriots. The 25-year-old signal-caller also wasn't using a sleeve […]

George Kittle Practices Again Thursday

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (groin) got in another limited practice on Thursday. Kittle was looking much better at the end of last week before missing his second straight game to open up the season, but he's been limited so far this week and is trending in the right direction to make his […]

Steelers Not Considering Benching Mitch Trubisky

Heading into the Thursday night game against the division-rival Cleveland Browns in Week 3, the Pittsburgh Steelers haven't had any conversations about replacing quarterback Mitch Trubisky as the starter under center. Going into the start of the regular season, the hope was that Trubisky would remain the starter for the entire season. But the former […]

Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, Anthony Walker Jr. Injured Thursday

Cleveland Browns linebackers Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah (quadriceps) and Anthony Walker Jr. (knee) were both injured in the Thursday night game against the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers. Owusu-Koramoah is listed as questionable to return with a quadriceps injury after being taken back to the locker room to be evaluated. Walker was carted off the field and had his […]

Ronald Acuna Jr. Scratched With Back Tightness Thursday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (back) was scratched from the starting lineup on Thursday against the Philadelphia Phillies with mid-back tightness. Until we know more about Acuna's condition, fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day. Robbie Grossman is moving to right field and will bat ninth, while Marcell Ozuna is now starting in left field […]

Freddy Peralta Could Return This Weekend

Milwaukee Brewers skipper Craig Counsell said that right-hander Freddy Peralta (shoulder) could return from the injured list to rejoin the starting rotation this weekend against the Cincinnati Reds. Peralta is currently listed as TBA for Sunday's contest. The 26-year-old has been out since Sept. 8 when he began experiencing fatigue in his right shoulder. But […]

David Bednar Coming Off Injured List

Pittsburgh Pirates manager Derek Shelton announced that All-Star closer David Bednar (back) will be activated from the 15-day injured list on Thursday, with left-hander Eric Stout (back) going on the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move. Bednar made three minor league rehab outings with Triple-A Indianapolis before he was activated, and he'll have time […]

Dodgers Pick Up Daniel Hudson's 2023 Option

The Los Angeles Dodgers are picking up right-handed reliever Daniel Hudson's (knee) $6.5 million option for the 2023 season, according to sources. Hudson posted an excellent 2.22 ERA (2.04 FIP), a 0.90 WHIP, five saves and 30 strikeouts for LA in 24 1/3 innings out of the bullpen this year before suffering a season-ending torn […]

Nico Hoerner Still Sidelined

Chicago Cubs shortstop Nico Hoerner (triceps) remains out of the starting lineup on Thursday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. It remains to be seen if Hoerner will land on the injured list, which would likely end his 2022 season. The 25-year-old has now missed 10 straight games, so it's entirely possible he won't be able to […]

Santiago Espinal Retreats To The Bench

Toronto Blue Jays infielder Santiago Espinal (side) is not in the starting lineup on Thursday against the Tampa Bay Rays. Espinal dealt with left side discomfort on Wednesday and was forced to leave the game early. It remains to be seen if he'll be able to return to the lineup on Friday, but fantasy managers […]

Luis Robert Out Again Thursday Against Guardians

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert is out of the starting lineup for the second straight day on Thursday against the Cleveland Guardians. Robert is limping to the finish line in 2022 and has played in just seven games this month, mostly due to a hand/wrist injury. He's also suffered at the plate when he […]

Seiya Suzuki Not Expected Back This Weekend

Chicago Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki, who is on the paternity list, isn't expected back for the team's four-game weekend series against the Pittsburgh Pirates since his wife has not yet delivered their baby. Suzuki initially went on the paternity list last Saturday and was then moved to the restricted list on Thursday. Fantasy managers shouldn't […]

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 […]
