Tyrell Williams Making Good Progress

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tyrell Williams (foot) is making good progress from the plantar fasciitis issues he dealt with last season. In his first year with the Raiders, Williams caught 42 passes for 651 yards and six touchdowns. He only missed two games but was slowed by his foot issues, mostly in the second […]

Alshon Jeffery May Be Open To Trade

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery could be open to a trade if the team explores one this offseason.

Jeffery has a history of injuries during his playing career and managed to […]

Chances Improving That Trent Williams Stays With Redskins

The Washington Redskins are growing increasingly hopeful that left tackle Trent Williams will return to the team, as head coach Ron Rivera has made him one of his offseason priorities in trying to get him to return.

Colts Linked To Nelson Agholor

The Indianapolis Colts are expected to be in the market for wide receivers this offseason, and they've already been linked to Philadelphia Eagles impending free-agent wide receiver Nelson Agholor.

Brendan McKay Dealing With Shoulder Soreness

Tampa Bay Rays manager Kevin Cash said that starting pitcher/designated hitter Brendan McKay (shoulder) has been dealing with some shoulder stiffness, but the two-way prospect threw from 120 feet on Friday, so the injury isn't believed to be serious. McKay has yet to throw a bullpen session in camp. The 24-year-old hits from the left […]

Rockies, White Sox The Front-Runners For Yasiel Puig

The Colorado Rockies and Chicago White Sox have emerged as the front-runners to sign outfielder Yasiel Puig. Puig is easily the biggest name left on the free-agent market, but he could have a home soon. Landing with either team would be enticing from a fantasy point of view, but the main question would be how […]

Gregory Polanco To DH In First Two Spring Games

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Gregory Polanco (shoulder) will be used as a designated hitter in his first two spring games, according to manager Derek Shelton. Polanco isn't really limited at all physically in camp, but the Pirates are slow playing it with him after he's dealt with shoulder problems the last two seasons. Some fantasy managers […]

No Timetable For Alex Verdugo

Boston Red Sox manager Ron Roenicke said that the team still doesn't have a timetable on outfielder Alex Verdugo (back). Verdugo is running outside and also threw for the first time since September on Thursday.

Luis Severino Leaves Camp For Testing

New York Yankees starting pitcher Luis Severino (elbow) has left camp and is headed to New York for a battery of tests starting Monday. The Yankees don't know how long Severino will need to be shut down, and manager Aaron Boone said it's too early to say if the 26-year-old will be ready for the […]

Lions Releasing Damon Harrison

The Detroit Lions plan to release defensive tackle Damon Harrison in the coming days, according to a source.

Bengals Want To Keep A.J. Green

Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said on Thursday that wide receiver A.J. Green is "a guy we want to be around." Green hasn't played in a game since December of 2018 and hasn't been a Pro Bowler since 2017 in his last full season. He's due to become a free agent next month and […]

Titans Not Expected To Exercise Corey Davis' Option

The Tennessee Titans aren't expected to pick up wide receiver Corey Davis' fifth-year team option for the 2021 season.

Redskins Officially Release Jordan Reed

The Washington Redskins released tight end Jordan Reed on Thursday. The move was expected and will save the team $8.5 million in salary cap space.

Aristides Aquino Has Minor League Options Left

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Aristides Aquino, who burst onto the scene in 2019, has minor league options remaining, which will make it even tougher to crack the Opening Day roster after the Reds added outfielders Nick Castellanos and Shogo Akiyama in free agency. Aquino hit .320 with 14 home runs and a 1.160 OPS in his […]

Rowdy Tellez On The Roster Bubble

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Rowdy Tellez appears to be facing an uphill battle to make the roster out of spring training. Toronto must pick three of infielder Joe Panik, outfielders Derek Fisher and Anthony Alford and Tellez. Fisher and Alford are out of minor league options and Panik is almost a sure bet to […]

Erick Fedde May Start In Minors

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Erick Fedde is eligible for a fourth year of minor league options because he's accrued fewer than five full seasons in the majors or minors. Fedde was drafted in 2014 but didn't start pitching in the minors until June of 2015 because of Tommy John surgery. Because he has another year […]

Tim Anderson, Yoan Moncada To Hit At Top Of Lineup

Chicago White Sox manager Rick Renteria said he's leaning towards shortstop Tim Anderson and second baseman/third baseman Yoan Moncada hitting in the first two spots in the lineup. Anderson hit a career-high .335 while slamming 18 home runs, driving in 56 and stealing 17 bases in 123 games. Moncada also had an excellent season, slashing […]

No Lingering Thumb Issues For Javier Baez

Chicago Cubs manager David Ross said there are no lingering thumb issues for shortstop Javier Baez. "He's told me no. I've asked him that. I asked him that a while back with the training in the offseason, and I haven't heard anything from our training staff on that subject. So as far as I know, […]

Ian Happ Will Mostly Play Center Field

Chicago Cubs infielder/outfielder Ian Happ will mostly play center field this spring, according to manager David Ross. It's not a surprise, given all the team's options at third and second base. David Bote, Daniel Descalso, Nico Hoerner and Jason Kipnis will battle for playing time at second base in camp. Happ's primary competition in center […]

Aaron Judge To Resume Hitting Friday

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (shoulder) threw again on Thursday and is expected to resume his hitting program on Friday while hitting in the cages and taking soft toss. The Yankees are being cautious with Judge after he came to camp with a sore right shoulder. The 6-foot-7, 282-pound slugger should be fine for […]

Luis Severino Shut Down With Forearm Soreness

New York Yankees starting pitcher Luis Severino (forearm) is being shut down with forearm soreness and will be evaluated on Friday. The arm issue has been bothering him off and on since last October. Severino is a high-end fantasy starter when he's healthy -- he was an All-Star in 2017 and 2018 -- but he […]

Jonathan Lucroy Had Surgery On Neck

Boston Red Sox catcher Jonathan Lucroy (neck) said he had surgery for a herniated disc in his neck that had been bothering him for the last three years. "I'd like to sit here and make excuses and say it's the reason I haven't been good, but I'm not going to. It did affect me," Lucroy […]

Ty Buttrey Expected To Be Ready For Opening Day

Los Angeles Angels relief pitcher Ty Buttrey (oblique) played catch on Thursday and threw at around 60-70 percent intensity and "felt good, no pain, throwing."

Everson Griffen Opts Out Of Deal

Minnesota Vikings defensive end Everson Griffen met two figures that voided the final three years of his contract by securing six or more sacks and playing 57 percent or more of the defensive snaps in 2019. As such, Griffen has exercised his right to opt out of his deal, according to a source. That will […]

Jimmy Nelson To Throw Bullpen Thursday

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Jimmy Nelson (back) is scheduled to throw a light bullpen session on Thursday.

Dane Dunning To Throw Live Batting Practice Next Week

Chicago White Sox pitching prospect Dane Dunning (elbow) will throw his first live batting practice of the spring a week from this Friday.
