Adrian Houser Injured During Start Tuesday

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Adrian Houser (hip) left his start early on Tuesday against the Cardinals with left hip discomfort. Manager Craig Counsell doesn't think the injury is serious, but "it is a concern." Houser's fantasy owners were bummed he didn't get a chance at a quality start, as he allowed just four hits and […]

Jason Pierre-Paul Cleared To Resume Activities

Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul (neck) has been cleared by team and independent doctors to resume rehab activities less than four months after suffering a fractured vertebrae in a car crash, according to sources. It's great news for JPP, but he's unlikely to have a shot at contributing for the Bucs until much […]

Jalen Hurd A Question Mark For Week 1

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that he doesn't know if rookie wide receiver Jalen Hurd (back) will be ready for the regular season opener. It'll likely depend on how much practice he can get in the next two weeks. Behind Dante Pettis, Marquise Goodwin, Trent Taylor and Jordan Matthews, it's unlikely that […]

Trent Taylor Likely To Miss Week 1

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that it's highly unlikely that wide receiver Trent Taylor (foot) will be ready to play in Week 1. There's a chance Taylor could miss more than just the regular season opener, so he's one to avoid in most fantasy drafts. The 25-year-old had 26 receptions for only […]

Scott Miller Could Be Odd Man Out

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Scott Miller could be the odd man out to make the 53-man roster behind Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, Breshad Perriman, Justin Watson and Bobo Wilson. Watson and Wilson may have the leg up on Miller because of their special teams contributions. If Miller doesn't make the squad, he'll likely wind […]

Dare Ogunbowale Has Shot To Be Third-Down Back

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Dare Ogunbowale could open the season as the team's third-down back. Peyton Barber and Ronald Jones II should have a near even split on early downs, but Jones has been unreliable in passing situations. Ogunbowale has, at times, looked like the team's best running back in the preseason and has […]

Redskins Looking To Trade Josh Doctson

The Washington Redskins would like to trade wide receiver Josh Doctson before Week 1. Doctson is in the final year of his contract and has been mostly injured and extremely inconsistent since being taken in the first round in 2016. It makes sense why head coach Jay Gruden was non-committal when asked if Doctson would […]

Dwayne Allen Could Be Roster Casualty

Miami Dolphins tight end Dwayne Allen has missed practice all week and has played just 14 snaps in the preseason. He'll need to convince the team he's healthy in order to make the team at this point. Nick O'Leary, Mike Gesicki and Durham Smythe are likely to make the 53-man roster, while Chris Myarick could […]

Allen Hurns Unlikely To Make Roster

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Allen Hurns appears unlikely to make the 53-man roster behind Devante Parker, Kenny Stills, Albert Wilson, Jakeem Grant and Preston Williams. Brice Butler and Isaiah Ford are also on the bubble but have made cases to stick around. Hurns has fallen far since his 1,000-yard season with the Jaguars in 2015. […]

Kenyan Drake, Kenny Stills Could Be Dealt

The Miami Dolphins might consider shipping running back Kenyan Drake and wide receiver Kenny Stills to the Texans for pass-rusher Jadeveon Clowney. It's just speculation right now, but Houston is in need of running back healthy after losing Lamar Miller (knee) for the year, and wide receiver Keke Coutee (ankle) might not be ready for […]

Marwin Gonzalez Leaves Early Tuesday

Minnesota Twins utility man Marwin Gonzalez (abdominal) left the game early on Tuesday with an abdominal issue. Gonzalez helped out those that started him before leaving, though, hitting a solo homer in his three plate appearances. The do-it-all utility man is now hitting .263/.323/.420 with 15 home runs, 48 runs and 48 RBI on the […]

Ketel Marte Injures Himself On Home Run

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Ketel Marte (leg) injured himself after a game-tying home run against the Giants on Tuesday and had to be removed from the game. Marte had the solo homer and a single in his three plate appearances before he was forced from the contest. The impressive D-back is hitting .323/.385/.578 with 28 homers, […]

Rich Hill Throws Bullpen Tuesday

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Rich Hill (forearm) threw a 30-pitch bullpen session on Tuesday and mixed in curveballs for the first time since his forearm injury. The Dodgers can afford to take it slow with the veteran left-hander, which is what they've done, but he's expected to return to their rotation in the middle […]

Johnny Cueto To Make One More Rehab Start

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Johnny Cueto (elbow) will make one more rehab start for Triple-A Sacramento before being activated from the injured list. Cueto has been out all season while recovering from Tommy John surgery last year. While he should be able to make a handful of starts for the Gigantes, he'll be a […]

Miguel Cabrera Injured Tuesday

Detroit Tigers designated hitter Miguel Cabrera (biceps) left the game early as a precaution on Tuesday with left biceps tightness. Cabrera struck out in both of his plate appearances before exiting. This was a precaution, but the Tigers surely won't rush the veteran back into the lineup in a lost season. Miggy has definitely shown […]

Luke Voit On Track To Return Friday

New York Yankees first baseman Luke Voit (hernia) is continuing his rehab assignment with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and remains on track to come off the injured list on Friday for the start of the series against the A's. Voit has been out since late July but should remain stashed in all leagues, as he's been a […]

Edwin Encarnacion Progressing

New York Yankees first baseman/designated hitter Edwin Encarnacion (wrist) hit in the batting cage and did some fielding and throwing drills in New York on Tuesday. Manager Aaron Boone said that Encarnacion will see live pitching in the near future and should be an option to return to the team soon. EE has been out […]

David Peralta To Have Season-Ending Surgery

Arizona Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said that outfielder David Peralta (shoulder) will undergo season-ending surgery on his right shoulder. While Peralta certainly didn't live up to expectations after batting .293 and clubbing a career-high 30 homers in 2018, he was still relevant in the majority of fantasy leagues this year with his .275/.343/.461 slash line […]

Justin Turner Suspended One Game

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner was suspended one game for making contact with the plate umpire on Monday night. Turner is appealing the suspension and can play until the appeal is heard. It doesn't mean much for fantasy owners, but make sure you check back to see when Turner's appeal is heard. The […]

Sam Hilliard Recalled By Rockies

Colorado Rockies outfield prospect Sam Hilliard, the team's No. 9 prospect per MLB Pipeline, has been recalled from the minors on Tuesday. The 25-year-old has been tearing it up for Triple-A Albuquerque this year, hitting .262/.335/.558 with a career-high 35 home runs, 101 RBI and 22 stolen bases in 126 games (559 plate appearances). With […]

Joey Votto Back From Injured List

The Cincinnati Reds activated first baseman Joey Votto (back) from the injured list on Tuesday and optioned infielder/outfielder Jose Peraza to Triple-A Louisville in a corresponding move. Votto is hitting second against Marlins left-hander Caleb Smith in his first game back. The 35-year-old has really showed his age this year, hitting an un-Votto like .262/.352/.410 […]

Lions Release Zach Zenner

The Detroit Lions released running back Zach Zenner on Tuesday. Kerryon Johnson, C.J. Anderson and rookie Ty Johnson are expected to be the top three on Detroit's depth chart heading into the season opener. The 27-year-old Zenner never saw consistent touches as a depth option in the backfield in his four seasons with the Lions. […]

Patriots Release Maurice Harris

The New England Patriots released wide receiver Maurice Harris (leg) from Injured Reserve on Tuesday with an injury settlement. Harris was impressing the coaching staff early in camp, but his injury ended up costing him a roster spot. He caught a career-high 28 passes for 304 yards and no touchdowns in 12 games with Washington […]

Eddie Rosario Returns Tuesday

Minnesota Twins outfielder Eddie Rosario (hamstring) is back in the starting lineup on Tuesday and is in left field and hitting cleanup against White Sox starter Lucas Giolito. Rosario returns to a fine slash line of .282/.307/.515 with 27 long balls, 74 runs scored and 85 RBI in his 439 at-bats. He'll return to a […]

Keon Broxton Suspended Two Games

Seattle Mariners outfielder Keon Broxton was suspended two games for throwing his equipment at umpire Manny Gonzalez on Monday. Broxton is appealing the suspension and can continue playing until the appeal is heard. It's been a tough year all around for Broxton, and he's hitting just .136 (6-for-44) with two homers, five RBI, 27 strikeouts […]

Blake Snell To Throw Bullpen Friday

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Blake Snell (elbow) threw 10 fastballs on Tuesday and is tentatively scheduled to throw his first bullpen session on Friday. Snell has been out since July 21 and probably won't return to the Rays rotation until the middle of next month, which means you shouldn't count on any fantasy contributions […]

D.K. Metcalf Not Being Ruled Out For Week 1

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said that rookie wide receiver D.K. Metcalf (knee) is "moving around this week" with hopes of a quick return. The team isn't ruling him for Week 1 yet. There's a chance that Metcalf plays, but if he does, he could have his role limited, making him one to avoid […]

Brian Anderson Doesn't Need Surgery

Miami Marlins third baseman Brian Anderson (finger) will miss the rest of the season but doesn't need surgery on the fractured pinkie finger on his left hand. It's good news and means that Anderson will have plenty of time to be ready for spring training next year. The 26-year-old held his own on a bad […]

Andrew Benintendi Out Again Tuesday

Boston Red Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi (side) is out of the starting lineup for the second straight game Tuesday. Benintendi's injury isn't believed to be that serious, so consider him day-to-day for now and get him out of your lineups. J.D. Martinez is in left field and is hitting cleanup against Rockies starter Rico Garcia. […]

Niko Goodrum Out 10-14 Days

Detroit Tigers infielder Niko Goodrum (groin) was diagnosed with an adductor strain after visiting with core muscle specialist Dr. William Meyers, and he's expected to be out 10 to 14 days, according to manager Ron Gardenhire. That pretty much guarantees that Goodrum will no longer be of use in single-year fantasy formats the rest of […]
