Ian Anderson Optioned, Huascar Ynoa Recalled By Braves

The Atlanta Braves optioned right-hander Ian Anderson and outfielder Guillermo Heredia to Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday and recalled right-hander Huascar Ynoa and selected catcher Chadwick Tromp's contract in corresponding moves. Anderson was solid last year with a 3.58 ERA and 1.23 WHIP in 24 starts, but he's really struggled in 2022, going 9-6 with a […]

Tim Anderson's Suspension Reduced To Two Games

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson's three-game suspension for making contact with an umpire last week has been reduced to two games, and he's expected to begin serving the suspension on Sunday against the Texas Rangers. He'll also miss Game 1 of a doubleheader on Tuesday against the Kansas City Royals. Make sure to remove […]

Steven Kwan Returns Against Astros

Cleveland Guardians rookie outfielder Steven Kwan (foot) is back in left field and is hitting leadoff on Sunday against Houston Astros right-hander Cristian Javier. Kwan fouled a ball off his foot on Friday night and was held out of the lineup on Saturday as a precaution. The 24-year-old needs to be returned to starting fantasy […]

Anthony Rizzo Out Of The Lineup Sunday

New York Yankees first baseman Anthony Rizzo (back) is not in the starting lineup on Sunday against the St. Louis Cardinals. Rizzo will miss his third straight game after being scratched from the lineup on Friday with back soreness. It's unclear if this injury will lead to an injured list stint for Rizzo, but fantasy […]

Josh Taylor Throws Bullpen Session Saturday

Boston Red Sox left-handed reliever Josh Taylor (back) has twice had his minor league rehab assignment halted, most recently just before the All-Star break. However, skipper Alex Cora said that Taylor threw a bullpen session on Aug. 6 in Fort Myers, Fla. "It was a long one, too," Cora said. Taylor has yet to pitch […]

Matt Strahm Expected To Throw Bullpen Tuesday

Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora said that left-handed reliever Matt Strahm (wrist) is playing catch and "there's a good chance he'll throw a bullpen on Aug. 9." Strahm was hit on the left wrist by a line drive on July 12 against the Tampa Bay Rays, but X-rays came back negative. It remains unclear […]

Michael Wacha Making Another Rehab Start Tuesday

Boston Red Sox right-hander Michael Wacha (shoulder) will make one more minor league rehab start on Tuesday, according to skipper Alex Cora. In his last rehab outing on Aug. 4 for Triple-A Worcester, Wacha retired the first 13 hitters he faced and 14 of 15 before leaving after 4 2/3 innings with eight strikeouts and […]

Justin Dunn To Make Reds Debut Monday

Cincinnati Reds right-hander Justin Dunn will be recalled from Triple-A Louisville on Monday to make his debut with the team against the New York Mets.

Fernando Tatis Jr. Goes Hitless In First Rehab Game

San Diego Padres shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. (wrist) kicked off his minor league rehab assignment on Saturday with Double-A San Antonio by going 0-for-2 with two walks and a strikeout as the designated hitter and leadoff batter. Tatis is finally playing in live games for the first time since having surgery to fix a broken […]

Travis d'Arnaud Day-To-Day With Leg Injury

X-rays on Atlanta Braves catcher Travis d'Arnaud's right leg came back negative, and he's considered day-to-day. d'Arnaud was injured in the second game of the team's doubleheader on Saturday against the New York Mets, but he appears to have dodged a bullet and shouldn't miss too much time. Still, there's a good chance he won't […]

Frankie Montas Activated For Yankees Debut Sunday

The New York Yankees reinstated right-hander Frankie Montas from the bereavement list on Sunday in time for him to make his team debut against the St. Louis Cardinals. In a corresponding move, the team optioned rookie right-hander Ron Marinaccio to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. It will be a tough first matchup for Montas in pinstripes, but he's […]

Austin Hays Sidelined Against Pirates

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Austin Hays (oblique) will miss yet another game on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Hays has been out of the lineup since Tuesday with tightness in his left oblique, which can be a difficult injury to come back from in short order. Although he's day-to-day for now, this could turn into an […]

Kyle Tucker Out Again Sunday

Houston Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker (illness) remains out of the starting lineup on Sunday against the Cleveland Guardians. Tucker was originally in the lineup on Saturday but ended up being a late scratch, and now he'll miss his fourth straight game with a non-COVID-19 illness. Fantasy managers should continue to consider him day-to-day. With an […]

Kenny Pickett Listed As No. 3 QB On Depth Chart

In the Pittsburgh Steelers first depth chart, rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett is listed as the No. 3 QB, behind Mitch Trubisky and Mason Rudolph. Although reports haven't been great on Trubisky's performance this summer, he's consistently been the starter in training camp practices, and he's essentially been told the starting job is his to lose […]

Devin Duvernay Returns To Practice

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Devin Duvernay (thigh) returned to practice on Saturday at training camp after missing the last five days with a thigh bruise. He's currently listed as the starting receiver alongside Rashod Bateman on Baltimore's depth chart. Duvernay should have added opportunities in the passing game in 2022 with Marquise Brown now in […]

Kiko Alonso Retires Saturday

New Orleans Saints linebacker Kiko Alonso announced his retirement from professional football on Saturday after the Saints brought him in for one training camp practice. Alonso will end his NFL career after playing in six seasons. He was originally a second-round pick by the Buffalo Bills in 2013 out of the University of Oregon. The […]

Darnell Savage Suffers Hamstring Injury

Green Bay Packers starting safety Darnell Savage (hamstring) suffered a hamstring injury during the team's traditional "Family Night" practice at Lambeau Field on Friday. The former first-round pick in 2019 said he doesn't "think it's a concern." "It's a fast-people injury. Some of those things you can't avoid. I'll just handle it the right way […]

Chiefs Sign Devin Gray

The Kansas City Chiefs signed free-agent wide receiver Devin Gray to an undisclosed one-year deal on Saturday after a solid workout, according to his agent.

Panthers Won't Rush Decision on Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold

Carolina Panthers head coach Matt Rhule said he won't make a "major decision" on any position, particularly between quarterbacks Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold, until after the Aug. 19 preseason game against the New England Patriots. "I'm not putting a timetable on the quarterback position until after we get back from the Patriots week," Rhule […]

Daniel Bellinger Looking Like No. 1 TE

New York Giants rookie tight end Daniel Bellinger was the clear No. 1 tight end at training camp practice on Friday. Chris Myarick saw action with the starters in rare two-tight end sets, while rookie Andre Miller lined up as a fullback in the jumbo goal-line formation. Bellinger is getting extra repetitions with the first-team […]

Darius Slayton Works With Third-Team Offense

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton was working with the third-team offense in training camp practice on Friday. Rookie Wan'Dale Robinson, Kenny Golladay and Kadarius Toney worked with the first team, while Richie James, Collin Johnson and C.J. Board worked with the second team. Slayton worked with Keelan Doss, Austin Proehl and Alex Bachman. […]

David Bell Comes Off PUP List

The Cleveland Browns activated rookie wide receiver David Bell (foot) off the Physically Unable to Perform list on Saturday. The third-round pick out of Purdue was a consensus All-American in 2021 and is an intriguing prospect that could earn playing time early as a slot option for the Browns with Jarvis Landry now in New […]

Tyler Linderbaum Likely Out A Few Weeks

Baltimore Ravens first-round rookie center Tyler Linderbaum (foot) was injured in Friday's training camp practice and had an MRI exam that didn't show any real concerns. However, head coach John Harbaugh said that Linderbaum will likely be out for a week or two, which probably means he won't play in next Thursday's preseason opener against […]

James Proche II Playing Lights-Out In Training Camp

Baltimore Ravens third-year wide receiver James Proche II has been standing out at training camp this summer. He's made a few plays in just about every practice so far and he's working pretty much every area of the field. Proche's precise route-running has made him a nightmare to cover on one-on-one drills. The former sixth-rounder […]

Byron Pringle To Miss Time With Quad Injury

Chicago Bears head coach Matt Eberflus said that wide receiver Byron Pringle (quadriceps) will miss some time with a quadriceps injury, but there is no specific timetable for his return. Cornerback Kyler Gordon and rookie receiver Velus Jones Jr. are also day-to-day with undisclosed injuries. It hasn't been a good summer for Pringle with his […]

Jaycee Horn Making A Slow Recovery

Carolina Panthers cornerback Jaycee Horn's (foot) slow recovery from a foot injury from 11 months ago is a little disconcerting, according to The Athletic's Joseph Person. Horn hasn't taken part in any team drills at training camp after coming off the Physically Unable to Perform list, and he won't participate in practice for several more […]

C.J. Saunders Impressing Again This Summer

Carolina Panthers wide receiver C.J. Saunders impressed during last year's training camp as an undrafted free agent, but most wrote him off as an undersized receiver making the most of his repetitions in non-contact drills against second- and third-stringers. Saunders is impressing again this year, often against the starting secondary, and it's clear he's earned […]

Christian McCaffrey's Stock Is Rising

Although the Carolina Panthers are being cautious with running back Christian McCaffrey at training camp this summer after a rash of injuries the last two seasons, he's not exactly taking it easy either. Head coach Matt Rhule said McCaffrey won't practice more than two days in a row in full pads, but he's still getting […]

Michael Thomas Making Progress

New Orleans Saints head coach Dennis Allen said that wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle) was in team drills at training camp practice for the first time on Saturday and came out of them with no setbacks. Thomas even went to the ground and had no issues. So far, Thomas has looked really good at training […]

Tom Brady Returns To The Team

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady is back at training camp practice on Saturday after a day off and some personal days. There's really nothing to see here. The future first-ballot Hall of Famer hasn't practiced in a few days, but we think he'll be just fine. He'll also be held out of the team's […]
