Jason Pinnock Looks Like He Belongs

The New York Jets drafted Jason Pinnock as a cornerback in the fifth round last year but converted him to safety toward the end of 2021 out of necessity. Pinnock impressed in the role and finished with six tackles, two forced fumbles and a pass breakup in 175 defensive snaps. The Jets have made his […]

Greg Zuerlein, Eddy Pineiro Not Impressing

The New York Jets kicking competition between Greg Zuerlein and Eddy Pineiro this offseason has been "neck and neck," according to special teams coordinator Brant Boyer, but it's mainly because neither kicker has impressed all that much. The Jets brought in Greg the Leg this offseason after Pineiro made all 17 of his kicks in […]

Ashtyn Davis Looks Significantly Improved

New York Jets safety Ashtyn Davis was viewed as a developmental player when he was taken in the third round in 2020. He was robbed of valuable repetitions when organized team activities and minicamp were canceled in his rookie year, and then he suffered a foot injury midway through his first NFL season that put […]

Bills Have Competition For No. 2 Cornerback Spot

Buffalo Bills cornerbacks Siran Neal, Dane Jackson and Kaiir Elam will all be competing throughout training camp to win the No. 2 cornerback job opposite Tre'Davious White.

Kevin Harris Could Make Final Roster

New England Patriots sixth-round rookie running back Kevin Harris has a good shot at making the team's final roster, in the opinion of Patriots.com's Paul Perillo.

Robert Griffin III Not Closing The Door On NFL Return

Free-agent quarterback Robert Griffin III has quickly embraced his new role as a broadcaster after playing eight seasons in the NFL, but he hasn't shut the door on a potential return to football. "I am ready to go right now. I train every day. I throw and work out. I know what it takes to […]

Tyler Stephenson Starting Rehab Assignment Monday

Cincinnati Reds catcher Tyler Stephenson (thumb) is starting his minor league rehab assignment with Triple-A Louisville on Monday.

The 25-year-old is […]

Jacob deGrom Strikes Out Five In First Rehab Outing

New York Mets starting pitcher Jacob deGrom (shoulder) made Single-A hitters look silly in his first minor league rehab start with Single-A St. Lucie on Sunday. deGrom didn't allow a hit or a run while walking none and striking out five in just 1 2/3 innings. The only batter that didn't strike out against him […]

Kyle Lewis Goes 0-For-1 In First Rehab Game

Seattle Mariners outfielder Kyle Lewis (concussion) went 0-for-1 with a walk while serving as the designated hitter on Sunday in his first minor league rehab game with Triple-A Tacoma. Lewis went on the seven-day concussion injured list on June 1, so he'll need a pretty lengthy rehab stint before he's cleared to rejoin Seattle's lineup. […]

Xander Bogaerts Not In The Lineup

Boston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts (thigh) is not in the starting lineup on the Fourth of July on Monday against the Tampa Bay Rays. Bogaerts suffered a left thigh laceration on Sunday against the Chicago Cubs and required seven stitches, so he'll sit out on Monday against Tampa. The 29-year-old is day-to-day for now. […]

Raisel Iglesias Serving Suspension Sunday

Los Angeles Angels closer Raisel Iglesias had his suspension reduced to one game, and he'll serve it on Sunday against the Houston Astros. Iglesias was suspended for his outburst during the team's benches-clearing brawl against the Seattle Mariners last week, in which he got heated and threw sunflower seeds onto the field. The 32-year-old right-hander […]

Cedric Mullins Resting Against Minnesota

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Cedric Mullins is not in the starting lineup on Sunday against the Minnesota Twins. It looks like Mullins is taking a regular day of rest in the series finale. Fantasy managers need to make sure he's not in their starting lineups. The 27-year-old entered the day with a .258/.316/.384 slash line with […]

Byron Buxton On The Bench Against Orioles

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton is not in the starting lineup against the Baltimore Orioles on Sunday. The Twins continue to give the oft-injured outfielder regular time off and have used him as the designated hitter in two of his last three games in order to preserve him for the rest of the year. Buxton […]

Jose Ramirez Not Starting Sunday

Cleveland Guardians third baseman Jose Ramirez is not in the starting lineup on Sunday against the New York Yankees. Ramirez will take a seat after going a combined 1-for-7 with a double, walk and four strikeouts in Saturday's doubleheader against the Yankees. The 29-year-old switch-hitter remains a must-start in fantasy, though, when he's in the […]

Brian Anderson Takes A Seat Sunday

Miami Marlins third baseman Brian Anderson is not in the starting lineup on Sunday against the Washington Nationals. Anderson has gone 4-for-14 (.286) with a homer and two RBI in five games since returning from the injured list, and he's now hitting .269/.374/.420 with three home runs, eight RBI, 23 runs scored and a stolen […]

Spencer Torkelson Returns To Lineup

Detroit Tigers rookie first baseman Spencer Torkelson (head) is back at first base and is hitting seventh in the batting order on Sunday against Kansas City Royals right-hander Brady Singer. Torkelson sat out on Saturday after taking a pitch to the head in the series opener against KC, but he's apparently cleared the league's concussion […]

Drew Smyly To Make Rehab Start On Monday

Chicago Cubs left-hander Drew Smyly (oblique) will make a minor league rehab start for High-A South Bend on Monday. Smyly will make his first rehab start after throwing a successful bullpen session on Friday. He hasn't pitched for the Cubs since suffering an oblique strain on May 30, so he'll almost certainly need several rehab […]

Robbie Grossman Sitting Again Sunday

Detroit Tigers outfielder Robbie Grossman is not in the starting lineup on Sunday against the Kansas City Royals. Grossman will miss his second straight game. The 32-year-old veteran has really struggled in 2022, hitting just .212/.315/.286 with two home runs, 18 RBI, 19 runs scored and two stolen bases in 238 plate appearances and 60 […]

James Karinchak Called Up

Kyle Farmer Sitting Against Braves

Cincinnati Reds shortstop Kyle Farmer (hand) is not in the starting lineup on Sunday against the Atlanta Braves. Farmer left the game on Saturday early due to a hand injury, but thankfully X-rays came back negative, so he should be considered day-to-day for the time being. On the season, he's slashing .280/.345/.411 with five home […]

Alejandro Kirk Out On Sunday

Toronto Blue Jays catcher Alejandro Kirk is not in the starting lineup on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Rays. Kirk was rested in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Rays, but he returned in the nightcap and went 1-for-3 with a walk and run scored in four plate appearances. The 23-year-old is in […]

David Peterson Going On Paternity List

The New York Mets plan on placing left-hander David Peterson ton the paternity list on Sunday after he left for Colorado on Saturday. Peterson will be out for a maximum of three days, so it gives the Mets flexibility to add an extra arm when they actually need one. The 26-year-old posted a quality start […]
