Brandon Lowe Dealing With Back Inflammation

Tampa Bay Rays manager Kevin Cash said that second baseman Brandon Lowe's (back) MRI exam showed some inflammation in his back, and he's seeking additional medical opinions to determine the best course of action. The Rays remain hopeful that Lowe will play again this year, but fantasy managers shouldn't be holding out as much hope, […]

Tyler Glasnow To Make More Rehab Starts

Tampa Bay Rays manager Kevin Cash said right-hander Tyler Glasnow (elbow) came out of his second minor league rehab appearance on Tuesday well, but he will make "multiple" more outings for Triple-A Durham. In his two short rehab outings for Durham, the 29-year-old starting pitcher has given up a run while walking three and striking […]

Nelson Cruz Out With Eye Inflammation

Washington Nationals designated hitter Nelson Cruz (eye) has inflammation in his left eye and is out of the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Baltimore Orioles. His doctor gave him eye drops for treatment, and skipper Dave Martinez said Cruz is day-to-day. Fantasy managers need to remove him from their daily lineups. The 42-year-old left […]

Yordan Alvarez Is Fine

Houston Astros outfielder Yordan Alvarez (hand) clarified that he wasn't out of the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Detroit Tigers due to hand soreness, as was previously reported.

Cade Cavalli Cleared To Throw

Washington Nationals rookie right-hander Cade Cavalli (shoulder) has been cleared to throw and played catch on Wednesday, according to manager Dave Martinez. The goal is to get Cavalli back on the mound before the offseason, but Martinez said that probably won't come in an actual game. The Nationals won't rush their No. 4 prospect back […]

New York Yankees relief pitcher Aroldis Chapman (leg) will rejoin the team in Milwaukee and is expected to be activated from the injured list on Friday for the start of a series against the Brewers, according to skipper Aaron Boone.

Red Sox Not Rushing Nathan Eovaldi

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi (shoulder) is on track to throw another live batting practice session on Sunday, and he could still make a minor league rehab outing before he returns to Boston's rotation.

Trevor Story Likely To Return Friday

Boston Red Sox second baseman Trevor Story (heel) is likely to return to the starting lineup on Friday for the first game of a series against the Kansas City Royals. Story is missing another game on Wednesday against the division-rival New York Yankees, but he resumed baseball activities. The 29-year-old has now missed two games […]

Julio Jones, Russell Gage Miss Practice Wednesday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receivers Julio Jones (knee) and Russell Gage (hamstring) both missed practice on Wednesday, as did Chris Godwin (hamstring). We'll have to see how much Jones and Gage are able to do the rest of the week before determining their status for Week 2 against the New Orleans Saints. Godwin is expected […]

Leonard Fournette Dealing With Hamstring Injury

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) was listed as being a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. It doesn't appear that Fournette is dealing with a serious injury, as he handled 76% of the snaps in Sunday night's Week 1 win over the Dallas Cowboys, carrying the ball 21 times for 127 yards […]

Shaquille Leonard Back To Full Practice

Indianapolis Colts linebacker Shaquille Leonard (back) returned to a full practice on Wednesday, while cornerback Kenny Moore II (hip) was listed as limited. Leonard also put in a full practice last Wednesday before being limited the rest of the way and missing the Week 1 season-opening tie to the Houston Texans. The 27-year-old underwent back […]

Michael Pittman Jr. On The Week 2 Injury Report

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. (quadriceps) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday.

D'Andre Swift Misses Practice With Ankle Injury

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday due to an ankle injury. It remains to be seen if this is a serious enough injury to keep Swift from playing in Week 2 against the Washington Commanders. If you have Swift rostered, it's time to immediately run to the waiver wire […]

Najee Harris Gets In Limited Practice

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris (foot) was limited in practice on Wednesday after suffering a foot injury in the Week 1 overtime win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Harris said "it's good" and doesn't seem to be worried at all about missing Week 2 against the New England Patriots. However, head coach Mike Tomlin said […]

Trevor Story Still Not Starting Wednesday

Boston Red Sox second baseman Trevor Story (heel) remains out of the starting lineup on Wednesday against the division-rival New York Yankees. Story hasn't played since leaving the game early on Sunday due to left heel pain, but the team thinks there's a good chance he'll return on Friday after an off day on Thursday. […]

Ian Anderson Suffers Strained Oblique

Atlanta Braves right-hander Ian Anderson (oblique) strained his left oblique while pitching for Triple-A Gwinnett on Sept. 8 and will be out at least a month. It basically rules out any chance that he could have returned to Atlanta's rotation for the end of the regular season and even possibly the postseason now. Anderson was […]

Shane McClanahan To Return Thursday

The Tampa Bay Rays are set to reinstate left-hander Shane McClanahan (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list to have him start on Thursday against the Toronto Blue Jays. McClanahan was eyeing a Thursday start after he threw a successful 50-pitch simulated game last Friday. The 25-year-old All-Star didn't make a minor league rehab start, though, […]

Cedric Mullins Getting A Breather Against Nats

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Cedric Mullins is not in the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Washington Nationals and left-hander Patrick Corbin. Mullins is an everyday fantasy player, but he's struggled against southpaws this year, going 33-for-163 (.203) with three of his 14 home runs, 12 RBI and 44 strikeouts against them. With the 27-year-old getting […]

Mitch Haniger Still Out Wednesday

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger (back) remains out of the starting lineup on Wednesday against the San Diego Padres.

Justin Simmons To Miss Some Time

Denver Broncos All-Pro safety Justin Simmons (thigh) will miss "some time," according to head coach Nathaniel Hackett. Simmons finished the Week 1 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Monday with a thigh injury that he suffered in the second half. The 28-year-old is a huge part of Denver's defense, so this is a notable loss […]

Michael Gallup Unlikely To Play In Week 2

In all likelihood, Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup (knee) will need at least another week before he makes his 2022 debut. Head coach Mike McCarthy said the hope is that Gallup can go from doing individual drills last week to "group stuff" this week. The 26-year-old has been making good progress after tearing his […]

Mac Jones At Practice Wednesday

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones (back) was present at practice on Wednesday. Jones dealt with back spasms after the Week 1 loss to the Miami Dolphins, but he brushed off the injury and reportedly plans to play in Week 2 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

J.K. Dobbins Looks Good In Practice

The Athletic's Jeff Zrebiec thought Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) looked really good in the early portion of practice open to the media on Wednesday, and he was moving around and cutting well. Dobbins, who missed all of 2021 due to a torn ACL, was inactive in the Week 1 win against the […]

Mike Evans Dealing With Minor Calf Injury

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (calf) had his lower left leg taped during practice on Wednesday, but it's an injury that sounds relatively minor. Evans was off to the side in the first portion of practice devoted to special teams. He could be listed on the injury report later in the day, but […]

Alec Pierce In The Concussion Protocol

Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich said that rookie wide receiver Alec Pierce (head) developed concussion symptoms after the tie in Week 1 to the Houston Texans and is now in the league's concussion protocol. The 22-year-old second-rounder took a huge hit in the game that bent his facemask. It remains to be seen if […]

Brian Robinson Practicing On Side Field

Washington Commanders rookie running back Brian Robinson (knee) is working on a side field during the team's practice session on Wednesday, and reporters said that Robinson showed no obvious signs of discomfort while doing agility work and riding a stationary bike. The 23-year-old was shot in the knee and glute during a robbery attempt in […]

Dolphins Could Be Without Terron Armstead, Austin Jackson

Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel isn't committing to left tackle Terron Armstead or right tackle Austin Jackson (ankle) playing in the Week 2 contest against the Baltimore Ravens after they both suffered injuries in the season-opening win over the New England Patriots. It's unknown what Armstead is dealing with, but he's played through multiple […]

Wan'Dale Robinson Not Practicing Wednesday

New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that rookie wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) isn't practicing on Wednesday and is day-to-day. He's made progress after injuring his right knee in the Week 1 win over the Tennessee Titans. Daboll seemed to imply there was optimism about Robinson's health status, even if he's unable to […]

Michael Gallup Could Do Team Drills This Week

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup (knee) will be integrated into more practice work on Wednesday and "might do some group stuff" after only participating in individual drills last week, according to head coach Mike McCarthy. It will be the first team repetitions for Gallup since January before he tore his ACL. The 26-year-old was […]

Chris Godwin Not At Practice

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (hamstring) and left tackle Donovan Smith (elbow) were not seen at practice on Wednesday. Godwin was actually active in the Week 1 win over the Dallas Cowboys after suffering an ACL tear late last season, but he quickly injured his hamstring after catching all three of his targets […]
