Jeremy Pena Scratched From Lineup Thursday

Houston Astros rookie shortstop Jeremy Pena was scratched from the starting lineup on Thursday due to "health and safety protocols," according to the team. Pena hasn't been placed on the COVID-19 injured list, and it remains to be seen if he's sick at all or even if he tested positive for the virus, so fantasy […]

Bills' Offensive Line Depth Could Be A Problem

The Buffalo Bills don't have many holes in their starting lineup, but offensive line depth could become a big problem if they sustain any injuries in 2022. Cody Ford is their top backup guard, but he was benched for poor play after only three games last year. Top backup tackle David Quessenberry signed a one-year […]

Ravens Lacking In Pass-Rush Department

The Baltimore Ravens didn't do anything significant this offseason to immediately upgrade their pass rush off the edge. Second-round rookie David Ojabo could be a factor eventually, but he's also recovering from a mid-March Achilles tear. Tyus Bowser led the team in sacks in 2021, but he's questionable for the start of the season after […]

Chase Edmonds Lined Up To Be Lead Back

Miami Dolphins running back Chase Edmonds signed a two-year, $12.6 million deal this offseason after spending his first four seasons with the Arizona Cardinals, and it seems like he's going to enter the year as Miami's lead back. Edmonds has plenty of versatility and should see the majority of the opportunities, but he'll also be […]

David Moore Arrested On Drug, Weapon Charges

Chicago Bears wide receiver David Moore was arrested in Gainesville, Texas, on drug and weapon charges on Monday. He was released from jail on a $5,000 bond. It comes after receiver Byron Pringle was arrested for reckless driving on a suspended license on April 24, while linebacker Matt Adams was arrested on a misdemeanor gun […]

Justin Herbert Working On His Footwork

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert has the most completions (839) and passing yards (9,350) through the first two seasons of his career in league history and is also the first QB to throw 30-plus touchdowns in each of his first two seasons, but he's still looking for ways to improve heading into his third […]

Giants Acquire Tobias Myers From Cleveland

The San Francisco Giants acquired right-hander Tobias Myers from the Cleveland Guardians on Thursday in exchange for cash considerations.

Jorge Lopez Notches 14th Save Against Texas

Baltimore Orioles closer Jorge Lopez picked up his 14th save of the season on Wednesday when he closed the game out against the Texas Rangers.

Max Fried Removed Early In Win Over Cards

Atlanta Braves left-hander Max Fried (glute) was sharp in the team's 3-0 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday, but he was removed early as a precaution due to tightness in his right glute after allowing no runs on five hits while walking one and striking out four over six innings pitched for his […]

Bobby Witt Jr. Remains Out Thursday

Kansas City Royals rookie shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. (hand) remains out of the starting lineup against the Houston Astros on Thursday. Witt was hit on the right hand by a pitch on Tuesday and hasn't played since, but X-rays came back negative, so he's considered day-to-day for now. The 22-year-old is one of the most […]

Kyle Tucker Sitting Against Lefty

Houston Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker will take a seat on Thursday against Kansas City Royals left-hander Kris Bubic. It's a normal day of rest for Tucker against a southpaw, and it will be his first day off since June 1. Fantasy managers need to make sure to remove him from their daily lineups. Tucker got […]

Shohei Ohtani Strikes Out 10 In Win Over Fish

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Shohei Ohtani continued to show his dominance on the mound in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Miami Marlins. The Japanese two-way star allowed an unearned run on two hits while walking three and striking out 10 in seven innings for his eighth win of the season. Ohtani also went 1-for-4 […]

Joey Votto Out For Game 1 Thursday

Cincinnati Reds first baseman Joey Votto (back) is not in the starting lineup for Game 1 of a doubleheader on Thursday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Votto has been out of action for the last two days due to back tightness, and it remains to be seen if the 38-year-old veteran will return for the second […]

Jonathan India Back In Lineup For Game 1

Cincinnati Reds second baseman Jonathan India (ankle) is back at second base and is batting leadoff on Thursday against Pittsburgh Pirates right-hander Roansy Contreras for Game 1 of a doubleheader. India left the game on Wednesday early after being hit by a pitch in his ankle, but it obviously wasn't serious enough to keep him […]

Gardner Minshew Likely To Stay With Eagles

The Philadelphia Eagles could still trade quarterback Gardner Minshew this offseason if another team is desperate for a quarterback and is willing to give up a substantial draft pick, but it would have to be a substantial offer. Minshew is still on the final year of his rookie contract and represents a cheap and solid […]

Kendrick Bourne Could Emerge As Top Threat

Patriots.com's Paul Perillo writes that he could see New England Patriots wide receiver Kendrick Bourne emerging as the team's top pass-catching threat this year due to his speed and ability to gain yards after the catch. Bourne was pretty consistent over the second half of the season, and he could be second-year quarterback Mac Jones' […]

Matt Corral Still The Panthers Future At QB

The Carolina Panthers drafted quarterback Matt Corral in the third round out of Ole Miss this year with plans to develop him slowly, and bringing Baker Mayfield in decreases Corral's chances of seeing the field in his rookie year in 2022. Corral will likely be the third quarterback between Mayfield and Sam Darnold. The Panthers […]

Brandon Lowe To Start Rehab Assignment Thursday

Tampa Bay Rays manager Kevin Cash said that second baseman Brandon Lowe (back) will start a minor league rehab assignment with Triple-A Durham on Thursday, and the expectation is that he'll return to the majors after the All-Star break. Lowe was moved to the 60-day injured list on Tuesday, but it won't affect his timetable […]

Jonathan India Day-To-Day After Being Hit By Pitch

X-rays came back negative on Cincinnati Reds second baseman Jonathan India (ankle) after he was forced to leave the game on Wednesday against the New York Mets when he was hit by a pitch in the first inning, according to the team. India is day-to-day for now, but fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised if the […]

Sam Darnold, Baker Mayfield To Compete In Camp

The Carolina Panthers don't plan on trading quarterback Sam Darnold after acquiring Baker Mayfield from the Cleveland Browns on Wednesday, and they envision a training camp competition between Darnold and Mayfield. Rookie Matt Corral will sit and watch in his first NFL season unless Darnold and Mayfield both miss time due to injuries. Darnold really […]

Eddie Goldman Signs With Falcons

The Atlanta Falcons signed free-agent defensive tackle Eddie Goldman to an undisclosed one-year deal on Wednesday, according to a source. Interior defensive line depth was a question mark for the Falcons with training camp approaching, so the 28-year-old Goldman is a nice pickup. Atlanta is banking on young defensive tackles Marlon Davidson and Ta'Quon Graham […]

Alex Kirilloff Leaves After Collision Wednesday

Minnesota Twins outfielder Alex Kirilloff left the game in the seventh inning on Wednesday against the Chicago White Sox after he flipped over first baseman Andrew Vaughn, who extended his whole body down the first base line to catch a ball. It's unclear exactly what his injury is at this point, but we'll pass along […]

Chris Bassitt Listed As Probable Starter For Friday

The New York Mets have right-hander Chris Bassitt listed as their probable pitcher for Friday's game against the Miami Marlins, which pushes Max Scherzer's next start to Monday against the Atlanta Braves. Bassitt landed on the COVID-19 injured list last week and he hasn't started for New York since June 25, so he'll be extra […]

David Peterson Starting Against Reds

New York Mets left-hander David Peterson is back from the paternity list and will make the start on Wednesday against the Cincinnati Reds. Peterson was away from the team for three days for the birth of his child, and he'll return to the bump on normal rest after striking out a season-high 10 hitters in […]

Rafael Devers Sitting Wednesday With Injuries

Boston Red Sox skipper Alex Cora said that third baseman Rafael Devers (back, hamstring) will sit out again on Wednesday against the Tampa Bay Rays. "Little bit sore, right hammy, tight back," Cora said. Devers will miss his second straight game, but the injuries sound pretty minor, and fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for […]

Jon Berti Back In The Leadoff Spot Wednesday

Miami Marlins infielder Jon Berti (lower body) is back in the starting lineup in left field and is hitting leadoff on Wednesday against Los Angeles Angels right-hander Shohei Ohtani. Berti missed the last two games while dealing with lower-body tightness, but baseball's stolen base leader is back in action atop the batting order. The 32-year-old […]

Frankie Montas' MRI Shows Inflammation

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Frankie Montas' (shoulder) MRI exam showed inflammation and he'll receive a cortisone injection on Wednesday, according to A's trainer Nick Paparesta. Montas won't be able to make his next start, and there's not timetable set after that, but the good news is there's no structural damage in his right arm. It's […]

Kevin Gausman Won't Make His Start Thursday

Toronto Blue Jays pitching coach Pete Walker confirmed on Wednesday that starting pitcher Kevin Gausman (ankle) won't make his scheduled start on Thursday against the Seattle Mariners, but he could toe the rubber next in the series finale against Seattle on Sunday. Gausman was unable to throw his normal between-starts bullpen session on Tuesday after […]

Kyle Farmer Back In Lineup Against Mets

Cincinnati Reds shortstop Kyle Farmer (hand) is returning to shortstop and will hit cleanup on Wednesday against New York Mets left-hander David Peterson.
