Lions Sign Aldrick Rosas To The Practice Squad

The Detroit Lions signed former New York Giants kicker Aldrick Rosas to their practice squad on Thursday. Rosas will return to Detroit after he was cut in May. He'll serve as insurance for starting kicker Austin Seibert heading into the 2022 regular season. In five games with the Lions and New Orleans Saints last year, […]

Bears Claim Trevon Wesco Off Waivers

The Chicago Bears claimed former New York Jets tight end Trevon Wesco off waivers on Wednesday. Wesco was the most popular player on waivers, as the Cleveland Browns, Indianapolis Colts, Cincinnati Bengals and Bears were all in on him. The Jets waived Wesco on roster cutdown day on Tuesday after he played in 12 games […]

N'Keal Harry Lands On Injured Reserve

The Chicago Bears placed wide receiver N'Keal Harry (ankle) on Injured Reserve on Thursday. Harry will miss at least the first four weeks of the regular season, but the ankle injury he suffered in early August was expected to keep him out for around eight weeks. Harry was a first-round bust in his three seasons […]

Patriots Sign Lynn Bowden Jr. To The Practice Squad

The New England Patriots signed former Las Vegas Raiders and Miami Dolphins wide receiver Lynn Bowden Jr. to their practice squad on Thursday, according to a source. Bowden was one of the most versatile players in the country during his time at Kentucky, and he was a third-round pick by the Raiders in 2020. Despite […]

Panthers Put Sam Darnold On Injured Reserve

The Carolina Panthers placed quarterback Sam Darnold (ankle), who is out four to six weeks with a high-ankle sprain, on Injured Reserve on Thursday. It will give Darnold a chance to return this season. Darnold suffered the ankle sprain in the preseason finale, but at that point he had already lost the QB competition to […]

Titans Sign Josh Gordon To The Practice Squad

The Tennessee Titans signed former Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Josh Gordon to their practice squad on Thursday, according to his agent. Gordon was cut by the Chiefs on Tuesday but will quickly land on his feet in Tennessee. The 31-year-old led the NFL with 1,646 receiving yards in just his second NFL season in […]

Russell Gage, Giovani Bernard Practice Thursday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Russell Gage (leg) and running back Giovani Bernard (ankle) both took part in practice on Thursday. Gage missed the preseason finale in his last chance to get game repetitions with quarterback Tom Brady, and his fantasy stock has been falling ever since the team signed veteran Julio Jones. The 26-year-old […]

Kenny Golladay Looking Stiff

New York Giants wide receiver Kenny Golladay was the team's prized free-agent acquisition heading into last season, but he didn't catch a single touchdown pass in his first year with the team. ESPN New York's Jordan Raanan says Golladay has been running routes this summer with the stiffness of a mannequin and was curiously playing […]

James Kaprielian Loses Ninth Game

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher James Kaprielian was hit with his ninth loss of the season in Wednesday's 5-1 defeat at the hands of the Washington Nationals. Kaprielian allowed five runs (two earned) on seven hits while walking one and striking out three in 5 2/3 innings of work. It was the 28-year-old's fourth straight losing […]

Josh Hader Converts A Save Wednesday

San Diego Padres relief pitcher Josh Hader actually locked down a save on Wednesday in the 5-4 win over the San Francisco Giants. Hader gave up one hit and struck out one batter in the scoreless inning of work to pick up save No. 30 on the season. The 28-year-old southpaw has been absolutely atrocious […]

Spencer Steer Headed To The Big Leagues

The Cincinnati Reds will recall shortstop prospect Spencer Steer when rosters expand on Thursday, according to sources. Steer was acquired from the Minnesota Twins in the deadline deal that sent right-hander Tyler Mahle to the Twins last month. He has 27 hits (three homers and seven doubles) in 23 games since joining Triple-A Louisville. The […]

Carlos Martinez Suspended 85 Games

Free-agent right-hander Carlos Martinez has been suspended for 85 games, retroactive to June 19, for violating the league's joint domestic-violence, sexual-assault and child-abuse policy. It's been a bad year for Martinez, as he was also handed an 80-game suspension on May 27 for performance-enhancing drugs. The 30-year-old Dominican is unlikely to pitch in the big […]

Luis Robert Remains Out Against Royals

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert (wrist) remains out of the starting lineup on Thursday against the Kansas City Royals. Fantasy managers are surely getting antsy now, as Robert hasn't played in a week due to a sore left wrist, although he's made two appearances off the bench. If he's unable to get back into […]

Astros Not In On Michael Conforto

The Houston Astros are said to not be involved in talks to sign free-agent outfielder Michael Conforto. Reports surfaced from SI.com on Wednesday night that the Astros had made a multi-year offer to Conforto, but those reports turned out to be false. Conforto didn't end up signing with a team by the deadline on Wednesday […]

Matthew Boyd Reinstated From Injured List

The Seattle Mariners reinstated relief pitcher Matthew Boyd (elbow) from the 60-day injured list on Thursday and recalled outfielder Taylor Trammell from Triple-A Tacoma with rosters expanding. Boyd will work exclusively in relief for the Mariners as he makes his 2022 debut in the big leagues. The 31-year-old left-hander had flexor tendon surgery last September […]

J.P. Crawford Returns On Thursday

Seattle Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford (pectoral) is back at shortstop and is hitting sixth on Thursday against the Detroit Tigers and left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez. Crawford will return after missing the last three games with a pectoral injury. Adam Frazier will move back to the keystone for the series finale against Detroit. Crawford is happy to […]

Jorge Polanco Out Again Wednesday

Minnesota Twins second baseman Jorge Polanco (knee) remains out of the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Boston Red Sox. Polanco will miss his fourth straight game with left patellar tendinitis, but fantasy managers should continue to consider him day-to-day. It remains to be seen if the 29-year-old will be ready to go for the […]

Brett Baty To Have Surgery On Torn UCL In Thumb

New York Mets rookie third baseman Brett Baty (thumb) is dealing with a UCL tear in his right thumb and will undergo surgery on Thursday that will likely end most, if not all, of the rest of his 2022 season. It's a tough break for the Mets and the 22-year-old after he was recently called […]

J.P. Crawford Still Sidelined Against Tigers

Seattle Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford (pectoral) remains out of the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Detroit Tigers. It will be Crawford's third straight game on the sidelines, but he could be available off the bench. Fantasy managers should consider the 27-year-old to be day-to-day. Perhaps he could use a little break heading into the […]

Nick Castellanos Remains Sidelined Wednesday

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Nick Castellanos (toe) remains out of the starting lineup on Wednesday night against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Castellanos is dealing with a case of turf toe and will miss his second straight game. With a scheduled day off on Thursday, there's a chance that he'll be back in the lineup for the start […]

Jonathan Schoop Could Begin Rehab Assignment This Weekend

Detroit Tigers second baseman Jonathan Schoop (ankle) could begin a minor league rehab assignment this weekend, but skipper A.J. Hinch said it's unlikely that Schoop will rejoin the Tigers in Los Angeles from Sept. 5-7. If everything goes well on his rehab assignment, it's more likely that he'll return from the injured list for the […]

Yordan Alvarez Intends To Return Friday

Houston Astros outfielder/designated hitter Yordan Alvarez (hand) said he's 100 percent and expects to return to the starting lineup for the start of a series on Friday against the Los Angeles Angels. Alvarez has missed the last three games with a sore left hand, but it looks like he'll be good to go for fantasy […]

Shane McClanahan Could Return In 15 Days

Tampa Bay Rays manager Kevin Cash said that an MRI exam on left-hander Shane McClanahan's shoulder confirmed the diagnosis of an impingement, which is a "best-case scenario." McClanahan will receive a cortisone shot and could return from the injured list in 15 days. It's excellent news for both fantasy managers and the Rays, as the […]

Bengals Release Brandon Allen

The Cincinnati Bengals released veteran quarterback Brandon Allen and veteran safety Michael J. Thomas and waived running back Trayveon Williams on Wednesday after claiming three players off waivers. There's a strong possibility that Allen will return to the team's roster, since they currently have no backup behind starter Joe Burrow. The 29-year-old signal-caller was originally […]

Texans Cut Royce Freeman

The Houston Texans cut running back Royce Freeman on Wednesday. It was veteran Marlon Mack, not Freeman, that was surprisingly cut on Tuesday, but the Texans re-signed Mack to the practice squad on Wednesday and released Freeman a day later. As things stand right now, rookie Dameon Pierce is set to lead Houston's backfield on […]

Panthers Sign Jacob Eason To Practice Squad

The Carolina Panthers signed former Indianapolis Colts and Seattle Seahawks quarterback Jacob Eason to their practice squad on Wednesday, according to a source. Eason became available after the Seahawks cut him on roster cutdown day on Tuesday. The 24-year-old signal-caller was originally a fourth-round selection by the Colts in 2020. He played in just one […]

Josh Gordon Visits With Titans

Free-agent wide receiver Josh Gordon, who led the league in receiving yards way back in 2013, is visiting with the Tennessee Titans on Wednesday. Gordon was cut by the Kansas City Chiefs on Tuesday and is looking to latch on with another organization before the start of the regular season. A once-promising career was mostly […]

Donald Parham Jr. Returns To Individual Drills

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Donald Parham Jr. (hamstring) did some individual drills at practice on Wednesday. Parham had been sidelined since the first week of August, but he's slowly getting back into action and has plenty of time to get ready for Week 1 of the regular season opener against the division-rival Las Vegas […]

49ers Waive Trey Sermon Wednesday

The San Francisco 49ers waived running back Trey Sermon on Wednesday. There had been mixed reports on Sermon during training camp and the preseason, with some suggesting that he was on the roster bubble. The 23-year-old third-round pick in 2021 will surely be scooped up off waivers by a running back-needy team, and it could […]

Bengals Claim Devin Asiasi Off Waivers From Patriots

The Cincinnati Bengals claimed former New England Patriots tight end Devin Asiasi off waivers on Wednesday. Asiasi was waived by the Patriots on roster cutdown day on Tuesday, but he'll resurface quickly in Cincinnati. The 25-year-old was a third-round pick in 2020 and caught just two passes on seven targets for 39 yards and a […]
