Carlos Correa Out Of The Lineup Wednesday

Minnesota Twins shortstop Carlos Correa is not in the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Chicago White Sox. Correa will take a normal day of rest after going hitless in his last four games.

Bryce Harper Intends To Play Again In 2022

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper (thumb) guaranteed on Tuesday that he will play again this year, regardless of whether the Phillies are in playoff contention.

Bills Working To Make Offense More Versatile For Josh Allen

The Buffalo Bills are working to make the offense more versatile for quarterback Josh Allen, and it began when they signed tight end O.J. Howard and receiver Jamison Crowder, and it continued when they drafted running back James Cook and receiver Khalil Shakir. During offseason workouts, returning players sometimes lined up in new spots and […]

Dontrell Hilliard The Favorite For Third-Down Duties?

USA TODAY's Mike Moraitis lists Tennessee Titans running backs Dontrell Hilliard, Trenton Cannon, Julius Chestnut and Jordan Wilkins on the roster bubble ahead of training camp, with Derrick Henry, rookie Hassan Haskins and fullback Tony Carter as roster locks. Hilliard is close to a roster lock as one can get, Moraitis suggests, while Cannon is […]

Jameis Winston Throwing Without Brace

New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston (knee) posted a video on Instagram that shows him doing throwing drills without a brace on his left knee. Winston's recovery from a torn ACL last year has gone well enough that he was on the field during organized team activities, and now it looks like he's removed his […]

Seahawks Maintain Interest In Baker Mayfield

Contrary to a previous report from NFL Network's Ian Rapoport in an appearance on the Pat McAfee Show, CBS Sports' Josina Anderson is reporting that it's inaccurate that the Seattle Seahawks never had strong interest in trading for Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield. She thinks the rumor surfaced in case the Seahawks don't get Mayfield […]

Chicago Cubs right-hander Kyle Hendricks (shoulder) left his start early on Tuesday against the Milwaukee Brewers due to right shoulder soreness.

Miami Marlins left-hander Jesus Luzardo (forearm) threw a 30-pitch bullpen session on Tuesday.

Nelson Cruz Scratched Tuesday

Washington Nationals designated hitter Nelson Cruz was scratched from the starting lineup just before first pitch on Tuesday against the Philadelphia Phillies for an undisclosed reason.

Eloy Jimenez Could Be Activated Wednesday

Chicago White Sox skipper Tony La Russa said that outfielder Eloy Jimenez (hamstring) could be activated from the injured list on Wednesday.

Seahawks Haven't Been Interested In Baker Mayfield

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said on the Pat McAfee Show that the Seattle Seahawks "have never really been that interested" in trading for Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield.

Willson Contreras Absent From Lineup Tuesday

Chicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras (hamstring) is not in the starting lineup on Tuesday against the Milwaukee Brewers. Fantasy managers should consider Contreras day-to-day for now after he left Monday's game early with a hamstring injury. When on the field, the 30-year-old has been a must-start, as he's slashing .274/.392/.498 with an .890 OPS, 13 […]

Ryan Pepiot To Start On Tuesday

Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Ryan Pepiot is being recalled from the minors in order to start on Tuesday against the Colorado Rockies instead of Mitch White.

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi (back) is throwing live batting practice at Fenway Park on Tuesday.

Xander Bogaerts Returns To Lineup Tuesday

Boston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts (thigh) is back at shortstop and is hitting cleanup on Tuesday against Tampa Bay Rays left-hander Jeffrey Springs. Bogaerts needed stitches to close a left thigh laceration that he suffered on Sunday, and he sat out on Monday in the series opener against Tampa. The 29-year-old should be returned […]

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Chris Archer has been scratched from his scheduled start on Tuesday against the Chicago White Sox for undisclosed reasons.

Didi Gregorius Out Again Tuesday

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Didi Gregorius (knee) is out of the starting lineup again against the Washington Nationals on Tuesday. Gregorius is dealing with left knee soreness and hasn't played since July 1. Fantasy managers should continue to consider him day-to-day and remove him from daily lineups. The 32-year-old has played in only 41 games so […]

Tyler Allgeier Could Eventually Become Lead Back

The Atlanta Falcons took running back Tyler Allgeier in the fifth round of this year's draft because they think he can eventually carry the bulk of the load in their backfield. He set a single-season record at BYU last year with 1,601 yards and was fourth in rushing attempts (276) in college football. Seventy percent […]

Cordarrelle Patterson May Not Carry A Full Load

Atlanta Falcons running back Cordarrelle Patterson will be the team's starting running back this year after he led the team with 153 carries and 618 yards in 2021, but he had only 71 rushing yards in the last four games and averaged 2.3 yards per carry in that span. The Athletic's Josh Kendall writes that […]

Steelers Not Expected To Pay Diontae Johnson

The Pittsburgh Steelers aren't expected to offer wide receiver Diontae Johnson anything near what Terry McLaurin got from the Washington Commanders or any other receiver that received more than $20 million per year. The Athletic's Mark Kaboly sees the Steelers offering him something, but it won't be what he thinks he can get on the […]
