A.J. Green Sits Out Again Thursday

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver A.J. Green (knee) missed his second straight day of practice this week on Thursday. The veteran wideout is looking unlikely to play in Week 4 against the Carolina Panthers. Greg Dortch, not Green, has been the biggest beneficiary of DeAndre Hopkins' suspension to begin the year. Rondale Moore (hamstring) has yet […]

Greg Dortch, Rondale Moore Limited Thursday

Arizona Cardinals wide receivers Greg Dortch (back) and Rondale Moore (hamstring) were both limited in practice on Thursday for the second straight day this week. Dortch was a hot waiver-wire pickup this week after catching nine of 10 targets for 80 yards in the Week 3 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. He has really […]

James Conner Limited Again Thursday

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (knee) was limited in practice for the second day this week on Thursday. Conner played through a questionable tag in the Week 3 loss to the Los Angeles Rams and he should be fine for Week 4 against the Carolina Panthers, barring a setback later this week. After a […]

Optimism That Christian McCaffrey Plays In Week 4

There is optimism that Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (thigh) plays in Week 4 against the Arizona Cardinals despite the fact that he has missed two practices this week with a thigh injury. McCaffrey has kept the injury close to the vest, but barring a setback, he should be OK for Sunday's game. The […]

Willi Castro Done For The Season

Detroit Tigers infielder/outfielder Willi Castro (hamstring) is done for the rest of the season due to a left hamstring injury. Zack Short, Daz Cameron, Josh Lester, Brendon Davis and Luis Garcia are the on-roster candidates to replace Castro for the conclusion of the 2022 regular season. Castro was forced to leave Thursday's game early against […]

Zach Plesac Pushed Back To Saturday

Cleveland Guardians right-hander Zach Plesac (hand) will switch spots with Aaron Civale in the starting rotation this week and be moved back to Saturday against the Kansas City Royals, with Civale going on Friday. Plesac will then potentially move to a relief role for the postseason. Civale will make his final start of the regular […]

Steven Wilson To Serve As Opener Thursday

San Diego Padres rookie right-hander Steven Wilson will serve as the opener on Thursday against the division-rival Los Angeles Dodgers. Nelson will be making his first career major-league start in this one, but he's unlikely to be a realistic fantasy streamer in what should be a short outing. He's made 47 relief appearances in 2022, […]

Julio Rodriguez To Resume Baseball Activities Thursday

Seattle Mariners general manager Jerry Dipoto said that rookie outfielder Julio Rodriguez (back) will begin baseball activities on Thursday and is aiming to return from the injured list when he's eligible next Monday. The Mariners took the conservative approach by putting him on the injured list to make sure his back gets right, and Rodriguez […]

Bo Naylor On Cleveland's Taxi Squad

Cleveland Guardians catching prospect Bo Naylor is in Cleveland and is on the team's taxi squad at the moment. Skipper Terry Francona hinted that the team was having discussions about whether to add a third catcher to the active roster. Naylor, the team's No. 5 prospect per MLB Pipeline, would be joining backstops Austin Hedges […]

Nationals-Phillies To Play Doubleheader On Friday

The Washington Nationals and Philadelphia Phillies will begin their weekend series with a doubleheader on Friday with the remnants of Hurricane Ian forecasted to bring inclement weather to the region over the weekend. The game between these two teams scheduled for Saturday has been moved to Friday. Right-hander Erick Fedde is scheduled to start the […]

Yandy Diaz Still Absent Thursday

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Yandy Diaz (shoulder) remains out of the starting lineup on Thursday for the series finale against the Cleveland Guardians. Diaz hasn't played in over a week due to a shoulder injury. He was in the original lineup on Wednesday but was scratched. Fantasy managers can only hope the 31-year-old can return […]

Mac Jones Not Counting Himself Out For Week 4

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones (ankle) is in the facility and has been participating in game-planning ahead of Week 4 against the Green Bay Packers, according to sources. Jones has told multiple teammates not to count him out of this weekend's game and is still operating as if he has a chance to play […]

Dalton Schultz Expected To Practice In Full Thursday

Dallas Cowboys tight end Dalton Schultz (knee) is expected to be a full-go for Thursday's practice, according to head coach Mike McCarthy. Schultz was limited in Wednesday's session after sitting out the Week 3 win over the New York Giants, so he's trending in the right direction to return to action in Week 4 against […]

Brevin Jordan Misses Another Practice

Houston Texans tight end Brevin Jordan (ankle) missed his second straight practice of the week on Thursday. It appears that Jordan is heading for his second straight missed game in Week 4 against the Los Angeles Chargers if he's unable to return to the practice field on Friday. With Jordan inactive in last week's loss […]

Bengals Place D.J. Reader On Injured Reserve

The Cincinnati Bengals placed defensive tackle D.J. Reader (knee) on the Injured Reserve on Thursday. He will be out a minimum of four weeks, but six weeks is the expected recovery time. Reader is dealing with an MCL injury to his left knee and will be out for the foreseeable future. With the 28-year-old defensive […]

Bucs Want To Get Rachaad White More Involved

Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich said he will do more to get rookie running back Rachaad White more involved on game days. The Bucs had two false starts and a sack in the series that he played in the Week 3 loss to the Green Bay Packers. The third-round rookie only played six […]

Dameon Pierce Practicing Again On Thursday

Houston Texans rookie running back Dameon Pierce (hip), who showed up on the injury report on Wednesday with a hip injury, was limited in practice again on Thursday. It gives Pierce a good shot at suiting up for the Week 4 game against the Los Angeles Chargers. The fourth-round rookie played 59 percent of the […]

Alvin Kamara's Court Case Pushed Back Again

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara's court case has been pushed back once again. Kamara's court case stems from a Las Vegas incident before the Pro Bowl last year. With his court case continuing to get pushed back, it lowers the chances that he'll actually face a suspension by the league in 2022. However, […]

Jarvis Landry Back At Practice Thursday For Saints

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Jarvis Landry (ankle) was seen taking part in the portion of practice open to the media on Thursday after he didn't practice on Wednesday. It's good news for the Saints offense with Michael Thomas' (toe) status in doubt for Week 4 against the Minnesota Vikings in London. Landry isn't a […]

Jameis Winston, Michael Thomas Not Practicing

New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston (ankle, back, hip) and wide receiver Michael Thomas (toe) were not seen at the portion of practice open to the media on Thursday. The expectation was that Winston would return to practice after being a DNP on Wednesday, so his and Thomas' availability for the Week 4 game in […]

Yoan Moncada Still Out Thursday

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada (foot) remains out of the starting lineup on Thursday against the Minnesota Twins. Moncada fouled a ball off the top of his foot on Tuesday and will miss his second straight game, but he's considered day-to-day right now. It's been a tough year for the 27-year-old Cuban, as […]

Trevor Story Not Expected To Return This Year

Boston Red Sox second baseman Trevor Story (heel, illness) is now sick and is very unlikely to return again this season. Time is running out for Story to return to the Red Sox's lineup, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to contribute within the next week. If it's indeed the case, the 29-year-old slugger will […]

Chas McCormick Goes Deep Against D-Backs

Houston Astros outfielder Chas McCormick drove in the team's only two runs on Wednesday in a 5-2 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks, going 3-for-3 with a home run, two RBI, a run scored and a walk. McCormick is in the midst of a six-game hitting streak right now, going 9-for-23 with a homer, two RBI, […]

Mark Melancon Picks Up 18th Save Wednesday

Arizona Diamondbacks relief pitcher Mark Melancon picked up his 18th save of the season on Wednesday in the 5-2 win over the Houston Astros. In his inning of work, Melancon didn't allow a hit or a run while walking none and striking out none. Melancon has a 4.67 ERA (4.04 FIP) and a 1.54 WHIP […]

Nick Castellanos Not Starting Thursday

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Nick Castellanos is not in the starting lineup on Thursday against the Chicago Cubs as the Phillies look to snap their four-game losing skid. Castellanos just returned from the injured list on Tuesday from an oblique injury, and he's gone 4-for-7 with four singles since his return, but the team will give […]

Jacob deGrom Moved Up To Friday Against Braves

The New York Mets will move right-hander Jacob deGrom's next start up to Friday for the series opener against the division-rival Atlanta Braves, according to skipper Buck Showalter. The Mets will roll with deGrom in a huge series. Entering play on Thursday, the Mets sit just one game ahead of Atlanta for the division lead […]

Eloy Jimenez Sitting Against Orioles

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez is not in Thursday's starting lineup against the Baltimore Orioles. It appears to just be a regular day of rest for Jimenez with the White Sox recently being eliminated from postseason contention. He's hit well in the final month of the regular season, going 25-for-87 (.287) with seven home […]

Tyler Glasnow Has Successful Season Debut

Tampa Bay Rays right-hander Tyler Glasnow made his first start in 2022 since returning from Tommy John surgery on Wednesday against the Cleveland Guardians, and he looked good, allowing an earned run on two hits (one homer) while walking one and striking out three in three innings of work in the 2-1 loss. Glasnow tossed […]

Matt Manning, Kerry Carpenter Put On Injured List

The Detroit Tigers placed right-handers Matt Manning (forearm) and Kerry Carpenter (back) on the injured list on Thursday and selected the contract of right-hander Miguel Diaz from Triple-A Toledo and recalled utility man Kody Clemens from Toledo in corresponding moves. Manning was placed on the 60-day injured list with a right forearm strain, while Carpenter […]

Akil Baddoo Hitting Leadoff Thursday

Detroit Tigers outfielder Akil Baddoo is starting in left field and batting leadoff on Thursday against the Kansas City Royals and right-hander Jonathan Heasley. Baddoo was out of the lineup against a left-handed pitcher on Wednesday, but he's back in there on Thursday and is hitting in the top spot in the order for the […]
