Justin Turner Returns Wednesday

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner (abdomen) is back at third base and is hitting fifth in the starting lineup on Wednesday against Washington Nationals left-hander Patrick Corbin. The 37-year-old veteran sat out the last five games with an abdominal injury, but he'll return on Wednesday in a great matchup against a struggling pitcher […]

Mitch Trubisky To Get First Crack At Starting Job

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mitch Trubisky is a great system fit for offensive coordinator Matt Canada's offense, and he is leading the team's QB competition this summer. Trubisky was expected to get the first crack at the starting job to replace the retired Ben Roethlisberger in 2022, so this shouldn't come as a huge surprise, even […]

Matt Patricia Calls Plays On Wednesday

New England Patriots offensive coach Matt Patricia called the plays for the team's offense at training camp practice on Wednesday. Players pointed out that Patricia brings all his defensive knowledge to the table and let's them see, as offensive tackle Trent Brown said, "the who, what, when, where and why" of how a defense thinks […]

Mekhi Becton Still A Possibility At Left Tackle

New York Jets left tackle Mekhi Becton's left-tackle days "aren't over," according to head coach Robert Saleh. Becton was drafted 11th overall in 2020 out of Louisville and had a strong rookie season, starting 13 games for the Jets. However, it's been all downhill since then, as he played in just one game last year […]

Eagles Confident In Jalen Hurts

The Philadelphia Eagles are very confident in quarterback Jalen Hurts despite reports this spring that he struggled in offseason practices.

Jacoby Brissett To Start If Deshaun Watson Is Suspended

Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski clarified the team's quarterback depth chart on Wednesday. "Jacoby Brissett is our backup quarterback.

Sam Darnold, Baker Mayfield Splitting First-Team Reps

Carolina Panthers quarterback Sam Darnold took the first-team repetitions at training camp practice on Wednesday, and Baker Mayfield will get the first-team reps at practice on Thursday, according to head coach Matt Rhule.

Vinnie Pasquantino Out With Thumb Discomfort

Kansas City Royals rookie first baseman/designated hitter Vinnie Pasquantino (thumb) is dealing with right thumb discomfort, which is why he's not in the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Los Angeles Angels. He felt it on a swing on Tuesday but is "feeling better today," according to skipper Mike Matheny. Fantasy managers should consider the […]

Wan'Dale Robinson Working With First-Team Offense

New York Giants rookie wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson was working with the first-team offense at practice on Wednesday alongside Kenny Golladay and Kadarius Toney. Keep in mind that Sterling Shepard (Achilles) opened training camp on the Physically Unable to Perform list, but it's worth noting that Robinson is already ahead of Darius Slayton on the […]

Packers Not Looking To Add A Veteran Receiver

Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst said he's not looking to add a veteran wide receiver at this point in training camp, in part because there's not a lot out there right now and he "really likes the group we have." It's a bit surprising considering both veteran Sammy Watkins and rookie Christian Watson […]

Christian Watson's Injury Isn't Serious

Green Bay Packers rookie wide receiver Christian Watson's (undisclosed) injury isn't considered serious and he's expected to "miss a little bit of time" in training camp, according to general manager Brian Gutekunst.

Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (knee) said on Wednesday that he'll "be ready for Week 1." There was some doubt that Mostert would even be ready for the start of training camp this week, but he gained medical clearance and avoided the Physically Unable to Perform list, so it's definitely possible he'll be ready […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Could Be Cut By 49ers

The San Francisco 49ers are hoping that a trade opportunity materializes for quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (shoulder) now that they are officially all-in on Trey Lance in 2022 and beyond. If the team can't trade Garoppolo, they will absolutely cut him before Week 1, when his $24.2 million salary would become fully guaranteed as termination pay […]

Antonio Gibson Working On Side Field

Washington Commanders running back Antonio Gibson (hamstring) has opened up training camp working on a side field. He also missed a bit of mandatory minicamp in June with a hamstring twinge. Head coach Ron Rivera said Gibson is being held out due to "an abundance of caution." The 24-year-old's absence will allow J.D. McKissic and […]

Clyde Edwards-Helaire Comes Off PUP List

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire was briefly placed on the Physically Unable to Perform list on Tuesday to begin training camp with an undisclosed ailment, but he returned to the practice field on Wednesday.

Michael Thomas Returns To Practice Wednesday

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle) returned to practice on Wednesday after opening training camp on the Physically Unable to Perform list.

Angel Zerpa Lands On Injured List

The Kansas City Royals placed left-hander Angel Zerpa (knee) on the 15-day injured list on Wednesday with a right knee injury. Zerpa left his start against the Los Angeles Angels early on Tuesday with right knee discomfort, and now he'll be forced to miss the next two weeks. Jackson Kowar has been called up from […]

Nationals Say They Won't Look To Dump A Bad Contract

Washington Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo said "we're not going to dilute the return for any player by including a bad contract," when he was asked about the team throwing left-hander Patrick Corbin's bloated contract into another deal at this year's trade deadline. Reports have surfaced in the last week that Washington wants to offload […]

Dodgers Looking At Garrett Cooper

The Los Angeles Dodgers have been looking at Miami Marlins All-Star first baseman/outfielder Garrett Cooper (wrist), but teams in the Juan Soto sweepstakes might wait to act on other hitters. Cooper also just landed on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday with a right wrist contusion after he was hit by a pitch last Saturday […]

Bobby Witt Jr. Remains Out Wednesday

Kansas City Royals rookie shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. (hamstring) remains out of the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Los Angeles Angels. Witt will miss his third straight game after injuring his hamstring on Sunday. For now, fantasy managers should continue to consider him day-to-day, but hopefully he'll be back at some point this weekend. […]

Christian Arroyo, Rich Hill Starting Rehab Assignments

Boston Red Sox infielder/outfielder Christian Arroyo (groin) will "most likely" start a minor league rehab assignment for Double-A Portland on Wednesday, according to manager Alex Cora.

Atlanta Braves left-handed pitching prospect Kyle Muller (hand) has a broken bone in his non-pitching hand after being hit by a comebacker during batting practice a few days ago.

Manny Machado At DH Against Tigers

San Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado (ankle) is serving as the designated hitter and batting third on Wednesday against Detroit Tigers left-hander Tarik Skubal. Skipper Bob Melvin said that Machado tweaked his ankle in the 10th inning of the 6-4 win over Detroit on Tuesday, but it's a good sign that he's at least […]

Ronald Acuna Jr. Heads To The Bench Wednesday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. isn't in the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Philadelphia Phillies. Acuna is in a bit of a slump at the plate lately and will get a normal day to rest, so fantasy managers need to pull him out of their lineups. His recent cold stretch has dropped his […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Avoids PUP List

After taking his physical on Tuesday at training camp, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (shoulder) wasn't placed on the Physically Unable to Perform list. Although Garoppolo isn't expected to get back on a practice field until mid-August after having offseason shoulder surgery, it's good news for his availability for the start of the regular […]

Marlins Listening On Everyone Besides Sandy Alcantara

The Miami Marlins are reportedly listening to trade offers for everyone not named Sandy Alcantara as the Aug. 2 trade deadline approaches.
