The Milwaukee Brewers placed starting pitcher Brandon Woodruff (ankle) on the 15-day injured list on Monday with a high right ankle sprain.

The 29-year-old right-hander […]

Royce Lewis Lands On Injured List

The Minnesota Twins placed shortstop prospect Royce Lewis (knee) on the 10-day injured list on Monday with a right knee bone bruise that he suffered while playing in center field against the Kansas City Royals on Sunday.

Byron Buxton Getting The Day Off Monday

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton is not in the starting lineup on Monday against the Detroit Tigers. Buxton started the last two games, but the Twins will continue to give him regular days off in order to keep the oft-injured outfielder healthy. The 28-year-old is hitting just .205 (26-for-127) with a .287 on-base percentage, but […]

Travis Jonsen Arrested On DUI Charge

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Travis Jonsen, who is competing for a backup spot on the 53-man roster, was arrested early Monday morning on a misdemeanor charge of driving under the influence.

Detroit Tigers outfielder Austin Meadows (illness) has resumed baseball activities in Florida and could start a minor league rehab assignment as early as Wednesday, according to manager A.J. Hinch.

Fernando Tatis Jr. To Have Another Scan Next Week

San Diego Padres shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. (wrist) will have his wrist scanned again when the Padres return from their road trip next week.

Chicago Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki (finger) is out of the starting lineup for Game 1 of a doubleheader on Monday against the Milwaukee Brewers.

Pirates Acquire Yu Chang From Guardians

The Pittsburgh Pirates acquired infielder Yu Chang from the Cleveland Guardians on Sunday in exchange for cash, according to sources. The Guardians designated Chang for assignment last Thursday. Chang doesn't have any minor league options remaining, so there's a decent chance he'll stick on Pittsburgh's MLB roster. The 26-year-old can play all over the infield […]

Jonathan Villar Placed On Injured List

The Chicago Cubs placed infielder Jonathan Villar (mouth) on the 10-day injured list on Monday and recalled Nelson Velazquez from the minors in a corresponding move.

Stephen Strasburg Looks Great In Second Rehab Outing

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Stephen Strasburg (neck, shoulder) looked like his old self in his second minor league rehab outing for Low-Fredericksburg on Sunday, throwing five scoreless innings while giving up one hit, walking only one and striking out six. Strasburg induced weak contact all day. It's a solid showing for the 33-year-old as he […]

Willy Adames Homers In First Rehab Game

Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Willy Adames (ankle) went 1-for-2 with a home run in his first minor league rehab game on Sunday with Single-A Carolina as the designated hitter.

Royce Lewis Diagnosed With Bone Bruise

Minnesota Twins shortstop Royce Lewis (knee) has been diagnosed with a bone bruise in his right knee after he was injured on Sunday.

Robbie Grossman Goes On Injured List

The Detroit Tigers placed outfielder Robbie Grossman (neck) on the injured list on Monday and recalled infielder Kody Clemens from Triple-A Toledo in a corresponding move. Grossman left the game early on Sunday against the Cleveland Guardians with a neck injury and will now miss at least the next 10 days. The 32-year-old switch-hitter hasn't […]

Miguel Cabrera Still Out Monday

Detroit Tigers first baseman/designated hitter Miguel Cabrera (back) remains out of the starting lineup on Monday against the Minnesota Twins. Cabrera will sit out for the second straight game, but fantasy managers should continue to consider him day-to-day for now.

Ravens Secondary Looking To Bounce Back

The Baltimore Ravens defense ranked 19th in overall defense last year and allowed a league-worst 4,742 passing yards after a series of injuries left their secondary extremely thin. But the Ravens addressed their defense in the offseason by drafting safety Kyle Hamilton, signing safety Marcus Williams and cornerback Kyle Fuller and re-signing safety Tony Jefferson. […]

Justin Fields Has Confidence In His Receivers

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields said he has confidence in his wide receiver group after additions such as Tajae Sharpe, Byron Pringle and Equanimeous St. Brown this offseason. "We don't have an Odell Beckham Jr. or a Cooper Kupp on our team, but at the end of the day I think if everybody is on […]

Irv Smith Jr. To Have A Big Role

Minnesota Vikings tight end Irv Smith Jr. (knee), who missed all of last year due to a right knee injury and still has not been cleared for full participation in organized team activities, is expected to have a big role in the offense in 2022. The Vikings goal is to have Smith ready for full […]

Jameis Winston Shows Visible Limp

New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston (knee) was moving with a visible limp during organized team activity practices last week. Winston had surgery to fix a torn ACL that he suffered in Week 7 of last year, and he's around six months removed from the surgery. He also had a brace on his left knee, […]

Chris Olave Compared To Marvin Harrison

New Orleans Saints assistant general manager Jeff Ireland compared first-round wide receiver Chris Olave to former NFL receiver Marvin Harrison. "It doesn't look like they were running fast, but when we turn on the clock, it's like 4.3 (seconds). So there's some really good aspects to that player," Ireland said. The 21-year-old should have an […]

Isaiah Wynn Missing From OTAs

New England Patriots starting left tackle Isaiah Wynn was not at voluntary organized team activities this week, which allowed Trent Brown to slide over to quarterback Mac Jones' blind side.

Kareem Hunt Firmly In Browns Plans

Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt is very much in the team's plans for the 2022 season despite a surplus of running backs on the roster. Hunt is viewed as a valuable member of the offense while heading into the final year of his contract at a maximum of $6.25 million. The two sides haven't […]

Jack Conklin On Schedule In Rehab

Cleveland Browns right tackle Jack Conklin (knee), who is coming off surgery to fix a torn patellar tendon, is coming along nicely and should be ready to practice at the start of training camp in late July.

Browns Not Discussing T.Y. Hilton

The Cleveland Browns are not one of the two teams besides the Indianapolis Colts that are having "fruitful" talks with free-agent wide receiver T.Y. Hilton, according to a source. The Browns are happy with their receiving room, even though Amari Cooper is the only proven veteran, and they aren't feeling pressured to add a legitimate […]

Browns Won't Cut Baker Mayfield

The Cleveland Browns have no plans to cut quarterback Baker Mayfield, even if he's still on the roster at the start of training camp in July, according to a league source. It makes no sense for Cleveland to cut Mayfield with him under contract for a fully guaranteed $18.86 million this year. Cleveland is better […]

Jose Miranda Optioned, Royce Lewis Coming Up

The Minnesota Twins optioned third baseman Jose Miranda to the minors to make space for shortstop Royce Lewis on Sunday. Miranda, the team's No. 3 prospect per MLB Pipeline, will head back to the farm after going only 11-for-67 (.164) with 14 strikeouts in his first 19 major league games. The 23-year-old will surely be […]
