Yordan Alvarez Still Out Against Rangers

Houston Astros outfielder/designated hitter Yordan Alvarez (hand) remains out of the starting lineup against the Texas Rangers on Tuesday. Alvarez will start on the bench for the second straight game due to left hand soreness. The 25-year-old left-handed slugger should be considered day-to-day for now. In Alvarez's place on Tuesday, J.J. Matijevic is serving as […]

Ozzie Albies To Start Rehab Assignment Thursday

Atlanta Braves skipper Brian Snitker said that second baseman Ozzie Albies (foot) will start a minor league rehab assignment on Thursday with Triple-A Gwinnett. Albies has been on the shelf since mid-June, but he's nearing a return to Atlanta's everyday lineup for the stretch run in September. The two-time All-Star should remain stashed in all […]

Cristian Javier To Start Wednesday Against Rangers

Houston Astros right-hander Cristian Javier will get the start against the Texas Rangers on Wednesday. Javier is rejoining the starting rotation with Justin Verlander (calf) going on the 15-day injured list on Tuesday. The 25-year-old Dominican should be picked up in mixed leagues if he's on the waiver wire, as he's currently sporting a 2.97 […]

Teoscar Hernandez Back In The Lineup Tuesday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez (foot) is back in right field and is hitting sixth on Tuesday against the Chicago Cubs and right-hander Marcus Stroman. Hernandez has been bothered by a sore left foot of late, but he'll be back in there after sitting out the series opener on Monday. The 29-year-old Dominican should […]

Phillies Sign Chris Devenski

The Philadelphia Phillies signed free-agent right-handed reliever Chris Devenski to a minor league deal on Tuesday. Devenski will report to Triple-A Lehigh Valley. He was an All-Star in 2017 with the Houston Astros, but he has struggled to stick in the major leagues the last three years. In the last two years with the Arizona […]

Chi Chi Gonzalez Signs With Yankees

The New York Yankees signed free-agent right-hander Chi Chi Gonzalez to a minor league deal on Tuesday. It would be an understatement to say that Gonzalez has bounced around in 2022. The Yankees will be his fourth major league team after stops with the Detroit Tigers, Minnesota Twins and Milwaukee Brewers. He's only thrown 18 […]

Jesse Chavez Back With The Braves

The Atlanta Braves claimed right-handed reliever Jesse Chavez off waivers on Tuesday from the Los Angeles Angels. Chavez was shipped to LA at the Aug. 2 trade deadline in the trade that sent reliever Raisel Iglesias to the Braves. Along with the Braves and Angels, Chavez has also spent time with the Chicago Cubs in […]

Michael Toglia Called Up By Rockies

The Colorado Rockies are calling up first base prospect Michael Toglia from Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday. The 23-year-old switch-hitter was the team's top draft pick from 2019, and he was hitting a combined .249/.341/.511 with an .852 OPS, 30 home runs, 83 RBI, 74 runs scored and seven stolen bases in 114 games with Double-A […]

Dylan Moore Placed On Injured List Tuesday

The Seattle Mariners placed infielder/outfielder Dylan Moore (oblique) on the 10-day injured list with a right oblique strain on Tuesday and recalled infielder Abraham Toro from Triple-A Tacoma in a corresponding move. Moore's injured list stint is retroactive to Aug. 29. The 30-year-old will be eligible to return from the IL on Sept. 9. In […]

Fernando Tatis Jr.'s Shoulder Surgery Postponed

San Diego Padres shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr.'s shoulder surgery is being postponed due to a non-COVID-19-related illness involving strep throat and a fever. The Padres will provide an update when the surgery is rescheduled. Tatis was scheduled to go under the knife after MLB handed him an 80-game suspension for violating the league's performance-enhancing drug […]

Bears Release Nathan Peterman

The Chicago Bears released quarterback Nathan Peterman on Tuesday, according to a source. However, the Bears plan on bringing him back on their practice squad. As of right now, the Bears only have starter Justin Fields and veteran Trevor Siemian in their QB room. Peterman, originally a fifth-round selection of the Buffalo Bills in 2017, […]

Tyron Smith Expected To Return This Year

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said that eight-time Pro Bowl left tackle Tyron Smith (hamstring, knee) is expected to play in 2022. "I expect to have Tyron back. And be back for the meat of the season," Jones said on 105.3 The Fan. Jones had surgery recently to fix an avulsion fracture in his left […]

Cowboys Release Cooper Rush

The Dallas Cowboys released quarterback Cooper Rush on Tuesday, according to a person familiar with the move. Rush has accrued at least four years of NFL experience, so he won't be subject to waivers. Rush and Will Grier are both off the initial 53-man roster, but it's likely that at least one of them will […]

Devin Asiasi Waived By Patriots

The New England Patriots waived tight end Devin Asiasi (quadriceps) on Tuesday, according to a source. The Patriots also waived former third-rounder Dalton Keene on Tuesday. With both Asiasi and Keene out of the picture in New England, Matt Sokol and Jalen Wydermyer will serve as depth at the position behind starters Hunter Henry and […]

Texans Release Marlon Mack

The Houston Texans released veteran running back Marlon Mack on Tuesday, according to a source. Although rookie Dameon Pierce was already trending upward as the likely primary back heading into the start of the regular season, Mack's release comes as a pretty big surprise. The 26-year-old was looking fully healthy after a devastating Achilles injury […]

Tyler Johnson Can't Survive Roster Cuts

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers cut wide receiver Tyler Johnson on Tuesday, according to a source. Johnson had a good training camp, but the Bucs just have too many capable bodies in the receiver room. The former fifth-rounder played in all 17 regular season games a year ago and caught 36 of his 55 targets for […]

Packers Waive Tyler Goodson

The Green Bay Packers waived rookie running back Tyler Goodson on Tuesday, according to a source. However, the Packers would like to bring him back on the practice squad if he's not claimed off waivers. Goodson had a strong preseason, so there's a chance another team could take a crack at him. In three seasons […]

Eagles Acquire Chauncey Gardner-Johnson From Saints

The Philadelphia Eagles acquired starting safety Chauncey Gardner-Johnson and a seventh-round pick in the 2025 draft from the New Orleans Saints on Tuesday in exchange for a fifth-rounder in 2023 and a sixth-round selection in 2024. Gardner-Johnson had been in contract talks with the Saints until a couple of days ago, and when talks broke […]

Brian Robinson On The Initial 53-Man Roster

Washington Commanders rookie running back Brian Robinson is on the team's initial 53-man roster, and Jonathan Williams was also added as the third running back behind Antonio Gibson and J.D. McKissic, likely until Robinson is healthy. Robinson's inclusion on the 53-man roster seems like an indication that the team believes he'll be back sooner than […]

J.K. Dobbins' Week 1 Status In Doubt

Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins' (knee) status for Week 1 against the New York Jets is certainly in doubt, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Gus Edwards (knee) is on the Physically Unable to Perform list and will miss at least the first four games of the season as well, which is why the […]

Deshaun Watson Placed On Suspended List

The Cleveland Browns officially placed quarterback Deshaun Watson on the Reserve/Suspended list on Tuesday, and his 11-game suspension for violating the league's personal-conduct policy is now underway. Watson didn't play in either of the team's final two preseason games after his 11-game suspension was announced by the league. The 26-year-old will be eligible for reinstatement […]

Dolphins Cut Preston Williams

The Miami Dolphins cut wide receiver Preston Williams on Tuesday, according to a source. Williams complained his lack of a role earlier this summer, but he was never realistically going to see much playing time after Miami added wideouts Tyreek Hill and Cedrick Wilson Jr. in the offseason. Multiple teams reached out over the last […]

Falcons Cut Qadree Ollison

The Atlanta Falcons cut running back Qadree Ollison on Tuesday, according to a league source. The former fifth-round pick led the team in rushing touchdowns (four) in his rookie season in 2019, so he'll likely receive calls from interested teams now that he's on the open market. With the 25-year-old out of the picture in […]

Vikings Waive Kellen Mond

The Minnesota Vikings waived quarterback Kellen Mond on Tuesday, according to a source. Mond was a third-round selection out of Texas A&M last year, but he struggled in the preseason and the Vikings recently traded for veteran Nick Mullens, leaving Mond as the odd-man out in the quarterback room in Minnesota. Behind starter Kirk Cousins, […]

Packers Release Danny Etling

The Green Bay Packers released quarterback Danny Etling on Tuesday, according to a source. Etling threw for 220 yards and a touchdown in preseason action this summer, but Green Bay will go with Jordan Love as the only other signal-caller on the active roster behind future Hall of Famer Aaron Rodgers. Etling was drafted in […]

Byron Jones To Miss First Four Games

The Miami Dolphins placed starting cornerback Byron Jones (ankle) on the Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform list on Tuesday, so he will miss at least the first four games of the season. Jones had surgery on his ankle in March and was hoping to be ready for Week 1 of the regular season, but that won't […]

Lynn Bowden Jr. Let Go By Dolphins

The Miami Dolphins released wide receiver Lynn Bowden Jr. on Tuesday, according to a source. Bowden has plenty of versatility as a running back, slot receiver and kick returner, but the Dolphins just didn't have room for him after adding Tyreek Hill and Cedrick Wilson Jr. in the offseason. The 24-year-old will surely latch on […]

Jets Release Tevin Coleman Tuesday

The New York Jets released running back Tevin Coleman on Tuesday, according to sources. Coleman was never going to enter the 2022 regular season with much of a role behind Michael Carter and rookie Breece Hall, but he lost out on the competition to be the No. 3 back. Ty Johnson and rookie Zonovan Knight […]

Colts Release Phillip Lindsay

The Indianapolis Colts released running back Phillip Lindsay on Tuesday, according to a source. Lindsay wasn't on the fantasy radar heading into the 2022 season behind both Jonathan Taylor and Nyheim Hines, but he was battling for the No. 3 job in training camp and the preseason. With Lindsay now out of the picture, Deon […]

Duke Johnson Released By Bills

The Buffalo Bills released veteran running back Duke Johnson on Tuesday, but he could end up back on their practice squad if he doesn't sign with another team, according to a source. This shouldn't come as a huge surprise, as Johnson was working behind Devin Singletary, Zack Moss and rookie James Cook during training camp […]
