Detroit Tigers right-hander Matt Manning (shoulder) is set to rejoin the team on Tuesday after a strong minor league rehab outing for Triple-A Toledo last Wednesday.

Cincinnati Reds infielder Brandon Drury, who is drawing interest from multiple teams at the trade deadline, isn't certain to be traded this summer. The Reds might be interested in exploring an extension with Drury, who turns 30 on Aug. 21 and hit his career-high 20th home run as a pinch-hitter on Sunday. The Reds could […]

Astros Showing Interest In Ji-Man Choi

The Houston Astros are showing interest in Tampa Bay Rays first baseman Ji-Man Choi as a possible alternative to their apparent No. 1 choice in Washington Nationals first baseman Josh Bell, according to sources. If the Rays were to trade Choi, they would make other moves to recoup the offense they lost, trying to create […]

Brewers Listening On Josh Hader

The Milwaukee Brewers are again listening to offers for closer Josh Hader, although the conversations might be little more than due diligence. But the Brewers' motivation to trade Hader might be increasing as they head toward their fifth straight playoff appearance. The left-hander's $11 million salary likely will increase to the $16 million range in […]

Astros Focusing On Christian Vazquez

The Houston Astros, who are seeking a catcher at this year's trade deadline, are among several teams reporting a high price on Chicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras. As a result, they are focusing more on Boston Red Sox catcher Christian Vazquez, according to one source. While Martin Maldonado is solid defensively for the Astros, they […]

Shane Bieber Unlikely To Be Traded

The Cleveland Guardians could be daydreaming about the haul that starting pitcher Shane Bieber could fetch on the trade market after the Cincinnati Reds acquired three of the Seattle Mariners' top five prospects for right-hander Luis Castillo last week. However, it's highly unlikely that Bieber is moved this summer at this point. The Guardians inquired […]

Guardians Have Discussed Sean Murphy

The Cleveland Guardians and Oakland Athletics have discussed catcher Sean Murphy, according to sources. However, the talks hadn't gained much traction as of Sunday morning. The A's can hang onto Murphy, who is under team control for another three and a half years, until the offseason and deal him in a much better market. Oakland […]

Dodgers Being More Aggressive On Juan Soto

While the San Diego Padres and St. Louis Cardinals have been considered the front-runners to trade for Washington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto, the Los Angeles Dodgers have been much more aggressive of late in their trade proposals for the 23-year-old superstar. We can only imagine an already strong Dodgers lineup adding one of the best […]

Tyler Higbee Practicing At Training Camp

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (knee) is taking part in training camp practices after missing the Super Bowl win over the Cincinnati Bengals with an MCL injury. Barring any setbacks this summer, Higbee will return as the team's top pass-catching tight end after going for 61 catches (85 targets), 560 yards and a […]

Denver Broncos wide receiver KJ Hamler (knee, hip) is expected to come off the Physically Unable to Perform list on Monday, according to a league source.

George Pickens Looking Good Early On

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie wide receiver George Pickens has been impressive early in training camp. He turned an out pattern from quarterback Mitch Trubisky on the second play of team drills on Friday and turned it into a nearly 40-yard gain before being wrestled to the ground. Pickens showed the ability to get out of his […]

Kenny Pickett Off To A Rough Start

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett had a rough first three days of training camp last week. The first-round pick has been erratic and inconsistent throwing the football, and he has taken all of his repetitions with the third-team offense so far. It has some believing it will be impossible for him to improve quickly […]

Bryan Edwards Not At Practice Monday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Bryan Edwards (arm) isn't among the team's receivers early on at practice on Monday after he "fell on his shoulder" during Saturday's training camp practice, according to general manager Terry Fontenot.

Panthers Activate Jaycee Horn From PUP List

The Carolina Panthers activated cornerback Jaycee Horn (foot) from the Physically Unable to Perform list on Monday after he dealt with some foot soreness. Horn will be eased back into practices at training camp. The 22-year-old broke his foot in Week 3 of last year and missed the remainder of his rookie season, but barring […]

Giants Waiting To See More From Kenny Golladay

The New York Giants are waiting to see more from wide receiver Kenny Golladay, who isn't separating from defensive backs well early in training camp. NBC Sports' Peter King writes that the Giants' signing of Golladay for $18 million a year looks like a disaster. Instead, rookie Wan'Dale Robinson has stood out in camp because […]

Orlando Brown Jr. Reporting To Camp Monday

Kansas City Chiefs left tackle Orlando Brown Jr. will report to training camp on Monday and will play the 2022 season on the franchise tag. Sources close to Brown say he's in the best shape of his life and knows how important the first five days of padded practice are for him, the team and […]

Cade Otton Back At Practice

Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie fourth-round tight end Cade Otton (ankle) practiced this week for the first time since he injured his ankle last November. He was held out of organized team activities and minicamp, but he practiced all week with the tight ends and is stoked to be back on the field after eight months […]

Ryan Succop, Jose Borregales Looking Good

The kicking competition between Tampa Bay Buccaneers kickers Ryan Succop and Jose Borregales will continue throughout the preseason, but both have looked sharp in the first week of training camp. Succop was a perfect 6-for-6 on Wednesday, while Borregales went 7-for-8 on Thursday. Borregales made his first six kicks on Saturday before missing from 51 […]

Russell Gage Impressing Early In Training Camp

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Russell Gage has consistently impressed in the first week of training camp. "Gage has really been the one to stand out. I don't think we've covered him yet," head coach Todd Bowles said Friday. Mike Evans, Chris Godwin (knee), Gage and Jones are set to be the team's top four […]

Miles Sanders Still The Eagles' Starter

Despite seeing virtually all his practice time with the second-team offense at training camp on Friday, Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders "is our guy," according to head coach Nick Sirianni. Sanders is the 12th leading running back in the NFL over the last three years with 2,439 yards, and his 5.1 yards-per-carry average is […]

Davion Davis Practices Saturday

Houston Texans wide receiver Davion Davis (ankle) was practicing with the team in training camp on Saturday after he fractured his left ankle late last year. Davis required surgery on his ankle, but he's back out on the field this summer. The 25-year-old wideout could have a better path to playing time in 2022 after […]

Dameon Pierce Impresses Saturday

Houston Texans rookie running back Dameon Pierce showed good vision while returning kicks and on inside running drills during practice on Saturday at training camp. Pierce also caught several passes from quarterback Davis Mills in 11-on-11 drills, displaying his versatility in the backfield. So far the 22-year-old is looking good, but the Texans want to […]

Mike Gesicki Blocking More In Training Camp

Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki hasn't seen many targets in 11-on-11 work through four training camp practices so far. After seeing more snaps either out wide or in the slot than in a traditional tight end spot in 2021, Gesicki said he was in line on Saturday. The wide-zone scheme is a key component […]

Van Jefferson To See Specialist For His Knee

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Van Jefferson (knee) will visit with a specialist on Monday for a knee issue that has been bothering him in training camp, according to a source.

Ke'Bryan Hayes Scratched From Sunday's Lineup

Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes (knee) has been scratched from Sunday's starting lineup against the Philadelphia Phillies with left knee discomfort. For now, fantasy managers should consider Hayes to be day-to-day. The 25-year-old will have Monday's off day to rest up, so perhaps he'll be ready to go again in the series opener against […]

Jarred Kelenic Returning To Seattle

The Seattle Mariners are calling up outfield prospect Jarred Kelenic from Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday. It's unknown if he'll be in the starting lineup on Sunday against Houston Astros right-hander Jake Odorizzi, but there's a good chance he will be with rookie Julio Rodriguez (hand) leaving Saturday's game early after being hit by a pitch. […]

Brewers Have Discussed Joey Gallo

The New York Yankees and Milwaukee Brewers have discussed outfielder Joey Gallo, who may fit Milwaukee much better than New York City. The Brewers were in on outfielder Andrew Benintendi before the Royals dealt him to the Yankees, and they could use another outfielder. USA TODAY's Bob Nightengale mentioned the Minnesota Twins and Tampa Bay […]

Tyler O'Neill Not Starting Against Nationals

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill (leg) is not in the starting lineup on Sunday against the Washington Nationals. O'Neill left Saturday's game early with leg cramps, which is why he's out of the lineup for the series finale. For now, fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day. Injuries have limited the 27-year-old to just 55 […]
