Gleyber Torres Day-To-Day With Ankle Sprain

New York Yankees infielder Gleyber Torres (ankle) turned his ankle while trying to return to third base on Sunday against the Houston Astros, and manager Aaron Boone said Torres' injury is a "mild ankle sprain." "He caught his spike and kind of rolled it over there at third," Boone said. "I'm hoping it scared him […]

Justin Dunn Tosses Two Innings In First Rehab Outing

Cincinnati Reds right-hander Justin Dunn (shoulder) gave up a run on three hits in two innings of work for High-A Dayton on Sunday in his first minor league rehab outing. The former first-rounder was one of three players the Reds acquired from the Seattle Mariners in March in the trade that sent outfielder Jesse Winker […]

Eddie Rosario Goes 2-For-6 In Second Rehab Game

Atlanta Braves outfielder Eddie Rosario (eye) went 2-for-6 with two RBI and two strikeouts while playing left field and batting leadoff for Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday. Rosario is now 3-for-10 with two RBI in his first two minor league rehab games. He's been out since late April after having surgery to fix blurred vision and […]

Luis Garcia Pushed Back To Thursday

The Houston Astros have tweaked their starting rotation a bit this week, pushing right-hander Luis Garcia back to Thursday at home against the New York Yankees. Framber Valdez will start on Tuesday against the New York Mets, while Justin Verlander will go on Wednesday. It means that Garcia won't be a two-start pitcher this week […]

Jonnu Smith Praises Mac Jones

New England Patriots tight end Jonnu Smith was the latest Patriot to heap praise on second-year quarterback Mac Jones this offseason. "Mac is definitely one of the most goofiest guys in the locker room, to be honest, man. But when he steps on that field, he's a different character. He's just got so much ability […]

Kenny Pickett Receives Third-String Reps

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie first-round quarterback Kenny Pickett only received third-string repetitions in organized team activities and mandatory minicamp. Getting NFL-ready with limited first-team repetitions in training camp and three preseason games won't track Pickett to start anytime soon. Unless Mitchell Trubisky gets hurt or plays terribly in camp and the preseason, it's difficult to see […]

Jack Flaherty Dealing With Dead Arm?

St. Louis Cardinals skipper Oliver Marmol said that starting pitcher Jack Flaherty (shoulder) didn't have pain but tightness and more of a dead-arm sensation when he was removed from his start early on Sunday against the Chicago Cubs. The tightness isn't in the same area as Flaherty's previous shoulder injury, but the team is still […]

Ronald Acuna Jr. Doesn't Have A Fracture

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (foot) requested a medical scooter because he can't put much pressure on his injured left foot, but he doesn't have a fracture and isn't using a protective boot or crutches. Acuna said he hopes to be back in a couple of days, but that any possible injured list decision […]

Phillies Put Bryce Harper On Injured List

The Philadelphia Phillies officially placed outfielder Bryce Harper (thumb) on the 10-day injured list on Sunday with a fractured left thumb and recalled outfielder Mickey Moniak from Triple-A Lehigh Valley in a corresponding move. Harper fractured his left thumb when he was hit by a pitch on Saturday against the San Diego Padres, and he'll […]

Jack Flaherty Leaves Early With Shoulder Stiffness

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Jack Flaherty (shoulder) left his start early on Sunday against the Chicago Cubs with right shoulder stiffness. Flaherty departed after tossing two scoreless innings. Fantasy managers should be pretty concerned, as the 26-year-old right-hander missed the first two and a half months of the season with right shoulder inflammation. Flaherty […]

Cade Otton Could Become Bucs' No. 1 Tight End

Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie tight end Cade Otton (ankle), who is expected to be done with his recovery from an ankle injury for the start of training camp, could become the team's No. 1 tight end over Cameron Brate now that Rob Gronkowski has retired. Otton is already considered an above-average and willing blocker, so […]

Deebo Samuel Hasn't Rescinded Trade Request

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel hasn't officially rescinded his trade request from earlier this offseason, but he did show up for the team's mandatory minicamp, which is a positive. There's also not a lot of league-wide chatter about the potential for a trade right now. Of course, San Francisco continues to say that […]

Oneil Cruz Resting Against Rays

Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop Oneil Cruz is not in the starting lineup on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Rays. It will be Cruz's first day off since being called up to make his season debut last Monday. In his first 27 at-bats of the year over six games, the 6-foot-7 shortstop has gone 7-for-27 (.259) with […]

Kris Bryant To Rejoin Rockies Monday

Colorado Rockies manager Bud Black said that infielder/outfielder Kris Bryant (back) will rejoin the team in Denver on Monday. The thought is that Bryant will be activated from the injured list at that time, but they will evaluate him when he joins the team. The veteran slugger has gone 3-for-20 (.150) with no home runs, […]

Ke'Bryan Hayes Returns Sunday

Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes (shoulder) has returned to the starting lineup on Sunday against Tampa Bay Rays left-hander Shane McClanahan, starting at third base and batting leadoff. Hayes injured his left shoulder on a slide into home plate against the Chicago Cubs on Thursday and hadn't played since, but fantasy managers can put […]

Joey Gallo Out Again Versus Astros

New York Yankees outfielder Joey Gallo is not in the starting lineup on Sunday against the Houston Astros. It will be Gallo's second time on the bench in this series, with both times coming against a right-handed pitcher. The left-handed power hitter has been pretty bad in 2022, and he's reached a low point recently […]

Brandon Woodruff To Start On Tuesday

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Brandon Woodruff (ankle, fingers) is scheduled to come off the injured list to rejoin the team's rotation on Tuesday against the Tampa Bay Rays. Woodruff recently declared that he was ready to return to the big leagues after throwing 74 pitches while giving up one run in five innings for High-A […]

George Springer Back In There Sunday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (elbow) is back in center field and is batting leadoff on Sunday against Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Chi Chi Gonzalez. Springer missed the last three games with left elbow discomfort, but his fantasy managers can now throw him back into their starting lineups. The 32-year-old's reckless style of play in […]

Wander Franco Activated From Injured List

The Tampa Bay Rays activated shortstop Wander Franco (quadriceps) from the 10-day injured list on Sunday. Fantasy managers can now slot him back into their starting lineups, as Franco is back at shortstop and is hitting in the two-hole on Sunday against Pittsburgh Pirates right-hander Roansy Contreras. The 21-year-old was on the injured list for […]

Jazz Chisholm Jr. Sitting Against Lefty

Miami Marlins second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. is not in the starting lineup on Sunday against New York Mets left-hander David Peterson. Chisholm returned to Saturday's lineup after leaving early on Friday with back spasms, but he'll be back on the bench Sunday. The 24-year-old has been a must-start in fantasy as a catalyst atop […]

Mets Confident Jeff McNeil Will Return Tuesday

New York Mets skipper Buck Showalter said he's very confident that infielder Jeff McNeil (hamstring) will return to the lineup on Tuesday against the Houston Astros after an off day on Monday. McNeil will miss his fifth straight game on Sunday against the Miami Marlins due to right hamstring tightness, but it sounds like fantasy […]

Hunter Renfroe Placed On Injured List

The Milwaukee Brewers placed outfielder Hunter Renfroe (calf) on the 10-day injured list on Sunday with a left calf strain and recalled infielder/outfielder Pablo Reyes from Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding move. Renfroe's injured list placement is retroactive to June 23. The 30-year-old slugger hasn't played since Wednesday and will now miss more time. He […]

Trent Grisham Dealing With Shoulder Soreness

San Diego Padres outfielder Trent Grisham (shoulder) was a late scratch from Saturday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies due to right shoulder soreness. It doesn't sound like the injury is overly serious, but fantasy managers need to check the Padres starting lineup on Sunday before penciling him back into fantasy lineups. Grisham has been a […]

Jeremy Pena Activated From Injured List

As expected, the Houston Astros activated rookie shortstop Jeremy Pena (thumb) from the injured list and optioned outfielder Chas McCormick to Triple-A Sugar Land in a corresponding move. Fantasy managers will want to get Pena back into their lineups immediately, as he's back at shortstop and hitting sixth on Sunday against New York Yankees left-hander […]

Yordan Alvarez Out Against Yankees

Houston Astros outfielder/designated hitter Yordan Alvarez is not in the starting lineup on Sunday against the New York Yankees. It's just a regular day off for Alvarez, but fantasy managers need to make sure to remove him from their daily lineups. The 24-year-old left-handed slugger continues to mash the baseball this year. He's hitting .312/.401/.649 […]

Tom Brady Has Been Better In His 40s

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady has more passing yards and touchdown passes since he turned 40 than he did in his 20s. In his 20s, Brady had 21,564 passing yards and 147 touchdowns, while he has 22,938 passing yards and 168 TD passes in his 40s. He played 94 games in his 20s, while […]

Jonathan Garibay The Only Kicker On Cowboys Roster

The Dallas Cowboys currently only have one kicker on their 90-man roster, undrafted rookie Jonathan Garibay out of Texas Tech. The Cowboys are likely to add another kicker before training camp begins at the end of July. Dallas could re-sign Chris Naggar, who was released before rookie minicamp in the spring, but he has kicked […]

Cowboys, Dalton Schultz Not Close To Extension

The Dallas Cowboys and tight end Dalton Schultz aren't close to working out a long-term contract extension. Current market conditions could compel the Cowboys to wait it out. Schultz will play the 2022 season on a $10.93 million franchise tag if an extension isn't worked out by July 15, and he could face the possibility […]

Deshaun Watson's Hearing To Begin Tuesday

Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson's hearing before the NFL and NFL Players Association's jointly appointed disciplinary officer Sue L. Robinson is scheduled to begin on Tuesday, according to league sources. The expectation is that the NFL will be looking for a lengthy suspension, perhaps for the entire 2022 season, despite the fact that Watson and […]

Alejandro Kirk Back In There Against Brewers

Toronto Blue Jays catcher Alejandro Kirk (hand) is back in the starting lineup on Saturday against Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Corbin Burnes, serving as the designated hitter and batting cleanup. Kirk injured his left hand when he was hit by a backswing on Friday, but X-rays came back negative and he will return to the starting […]
