Angels Interested In Trade For Corey Kluber

The Los Angeles Angels have shown interest in trading for Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Corey Kluber, according to sources. A fractured arm and then a strained oblique held the two-time Cy Young winner to just seven starts for the Tribe last season. He was a big-time fantasy bust because of the injuries, but Kluber has […]

Freddie Freeman Doing Well After Surgery

Atlanta Braves manager Brian Snitker said that first baseman Freddie Freeman (elbow) is doing well after having arthroscopic surgery on his elbow. "Last time I talked to him he said it hadn't felt that good in a long time," Snitker said. Freeman has plenty of time to heal up and should be 100 percent for […]

Dodgers Discussing Trade For Francisco Lindor

The Los Angeles Dodgers and Cleveland Indians remain engaged in serious trade talks surrounding All-Star shortstop Francisco Lindor. The Indians are seeking a package of Dodgers prospects, including shortstop Gavin Lux and starting pitcher Dustin May. Lux is considered the No. 2 prospect in baseball heading into the 2020 season, per MLB Pipeline, while May […]

Brewers Bring In Josh Lindblom

The Milwaukee Brewers agreed to a three-year, $9.125 million deal with pitcher Josh Lindblom on Wednesday. Lindblom, 32, pitched most of the last five seasons in the Korean Baseball Organization. He worked as a starter overseas and was 20-3 with a 2.50 ERA in 30 starts in 2019 for the Doosan Bears, setting the franchise […]

Rockies Extend Scott Oberg For Three Years

The Colorado Rockies signed relief pitcher Scott Oberg to a three-year, $13 million extension on Wednesday. The deal includes an $8 million team option for 2023. The 29-year-old has been excellent for the Rockies the last two seasons, and he finished with a nice 2.25 ERA in 2019. Oberg has struck out 115 batters and […]

Michael Wacha Agrees With Mets

The New York Mets agreed to a one-year deal with starting pitcher Michael Wacha on Wednesday, according to a source. The 28-year-old right-hander will get $3 million guaranteed and can make another $7 million in performance-based incentives. He had spent the previous seven seasons with the Cardinals, and Wacha went a disappointing 6-7 last year […]

Chris Hogan Designated To Return From IR

The Carolina Panthers designated wide receiver Chris Hogan (knee) to return from Injured Reserve. Hogan practiced on Wednesday for the first time since Sept. 27. The former Patriot injured his knee in Week 4 against the Texans on a special teams play and underwent arthroscopic surgery. Hogan has just three catches for 24 yards this […]

Allen Hurns Misses Practice Wednesday

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Allen Hurns (ankle, knee) did not take part in practice on Wednesday. All three of Hurns, Devante Parker (concussion) and Albert Wilson (concussion) are in danger of missing the Week 15 contest against the Giants. Hurns has become the No. 2 behind Parker late in the year, but he still has […]

Eddie Rosario Drawing Trade Interest

A number of teams have engaged the Minnesota Twins on outfielder Eddie Rosario in trade talks, but nothing appears to be imminent, according to a source. As the free-agent corner outfield market begins to take shape this winter, Rosario could become an appealing alternative with two years of club control. The 28-year-old had a breakout […]

Dante Pettis Returns To Full Practice

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Dante Pettis (knee) returned to a full practice on Wednesday. It puts the struggling second-year wideout on track to return in Week 15 against the Falcons for the first time since Nov. 11 against the Seahawks. The 24-year-old has just 11 catches for 109 yards and two touchdowns in 11 […]

Josh Jacobs Not A Lock To Play In Week 15

Oakland Raiders head coach Jon Gruden said rookie running back Josh Jacobs (shoulder) isn't a lock to return in Week 15 against the Jaguars despite positive results from his MRI exam. Jacobs's status is unclear for this Sunday, although he was a limited participant in the walkthrough practice on Wednesday. Jacobs must prove to Gruden […]

Brewers Staying In Touch With Eric Thames

Milwaukee Brewers general manager David Stearns said that the team is staying in touch with first baseman Eric Thames, who was non-tendered by the Brewers. Thames was mostly a part-time player for the Brewers -- against right-handed pitchers -- and he was successful to the tune of a .247/.346/.505 slash line, 25 home runs and […]

Franklin Perez Still Not Throwing

Detroit Tigers starting pitching prospect Franklin Perez (shoulder) still hasn't been able to throw a baseball after two-plus years of shoulder issues. The 22-year-old that was the key piece in the trade that sent Justin Verlander to Houston in 2017 has pitched in nine games in his two seasons with Detroit (27 innings). He hasn't […]

Tigers Interested In Robinson Chirinos

The Detroit Tigers are showing interest in catcher Robinson Chirinos, according to a source. With Grayson Greiner and prospect Jake Rogers currently on roster, the Tigers would probably be looking at a short deal with Chirinos until Rogers is ready for the everyday role. Chirinos hit .238/.347/.443 with 17 long balls and 58 RBI in […]

Rangers Could Consider Maikel Franco

The Texas Rangers will consider third baseman Maikel Franco if Anthony Rendon signs elsewhere. Franco would be a significant downgrade from the MVP candidate, but a change of scenery to a very hitter-friendly park in Texas could be the spark that Franco needs to realize his true potential. The 27-year-old Dominican hit just .234/.297/.409 with […]

Salvador Perez Could See Time At First Base

Kansas City Royals manager Mike Matheny said it's a realistic possibility that catcher Salvador Perez (elbow) sees significant playing time at first base in his return from Tommy John surgery in 2020. Perez is coming off a lost season in 2019 after having elbow reconstruction. But he should return to being one of the more […]

Cubs Not Working On Extension For Anthony Rizzo

The Chicago Cubs will not be offering first baseman Anthony Rizzo a contract extension this winter, according to Rizzo's agent, Marc Pollack. "Anthony has let his desire to be a Cub for life known to the organization. Although we do not know what the future holds, a deal to make that happen will not be […]

Alexander Mattison Misses Practice Wednesday

Minnesota Vikings rookie running back Alexander Mattison (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. There's still a chance that Mattison can play in Week 15 against the Chargers, but nothing is guaranteed. With Dalvin Cook (chest) seeing a full workload against the Lions last Sunday, Mattison would be nothing more than a little-used backup against the […]

Dodgers Shifting Focus To Madison Bumgarner

The Los Angeles Dodgers are shifting their focus to starting pitcher Madison Bumgarner now that Gerrit Cole chose the Yankees, according to sources. It would be extremely odd to see a lifelong Giants pitcher in blue and white, but it could happen. MadBum isn't the dominant left-hander that he was in his prime with San […]

White Sox Acquire Nomar Mazara

The Chicago White Sox acquired outfielder Nomar Mazara from the Texas Rangers on Tuesday night in exchange for minor league outfielder Steele Walker. The 24-year-old Mazara hit .268 with 19 home runs, 66 RBI and a .786 OPS in 2019. He projects to make around $5.5 million in arbitration and is eligible for free agency […]

Will Fuller Limited In Practice

Houston Texans wide receiver Will Fuller (hamstring) was limited in practice on Wednesday after being inactive in the Week 15 loss to the Broncos. Fuller could be a game-time decision this Sunday against the Titans. If he sits out a second straight game, Kenny Stills and Keke Coutee would have bigger roles alongside top wideout […]

Saints Defense Loses Marcus Davenport, Sheldon Rankins

The New Orleans Saints officially placed defensive end Marcus Davenport (Achilles) and defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins (ankle) on season-ending Injured Reserve on Wednesday. The combination of losing both defensive linemen is a pretty big blow to this Saints Defense to close out the year. Davenport, a first-round pick in 2018, had 31 tackles, six sacks […]

Vance McDonald, Jaylen Samuels Miss Practice

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Vance McDonald (concussion) and running back Jaylen Samuels (groin) both were missing from practice on Wednesday. Not only is McDonald questionable for Week 15 against the Bills on Sunday night, but he hasn't cleared 50 yards the entire season and has only three touchdowns. He has just five catches for 25 […]

David Njoku Limited In Practice Wednesday

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (knee) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Njoku returned in Week 14 from a wrist injury that landed him on Injured Reserve after Week 2, and he played limited snaps on his way to just one catch for four yards in the win over the Bengals. The 23-year-old should […]

Gerald Everett Considered Day-To-Day

Los Angeles Rams tight end Gerald Everett (knee) is considered "day-to-day" by head coach Sean McVay. "His knee is making progress, but not ready to get out there and practice with us yet." Everett has essentially been day-to-day since suffering the injury in Week 13. He's missed the last two games as a result and […]

Jordan Howard Limited Wednesday

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard (shoulder) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Howard has been close to playing for weeks it seems, but he has yet to be cleared and hasn't seen the field since Nov. 3 against the Bears. If he does return in Week 15 against the Redskins, he could […]

Nelson Agholor Remains Out Wednesday

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor (knee) remained out of practice on Wednesday after sitting out on Monday night against the Giants. Agholor has a chance to be fantasy relevant as the team's No. 1 receiver with Alshon Jeffery (foot) now done for the year in the final three games, but there's no guarantee that […]

Christian Kirk, Andy Isabella Limited In Practice

Arizona Cardinals wide receivers Christian Kirk (ankle) and Andy Isabella (shoulder) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Both players should be on track to play in Week 15 against the Browns, but we'll keep an eye on their status the rest of the week. Kirk had eight catches on nine targets for 85 yards […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster, James Conner Practicing In Full

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee) and running back James Conner (shoulder) were both full participants in practice on Wednesday. The Steelers are expecting to get both players back for Week 15 against the Bills on Sunday night. Smith-Schuster and Conner have both been out since Nov. 14 and will return to a difficult […]

Julian Edelman Not At Practice Wednesday

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman (knee, shoulder) did not take part in practice on Wednesday. Edelman has been on the injury report pretty much all year with nagging injuries, but he manages to play every week and remains quarterback Tom Brady's favorite aerial target. Edelman had eight catches on 12 targets for 95 […]
