Jason Pierre-Paul Could Face 5-6 Month Recovery

There are concerns that Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul (neck) has a fractured vertebrae in his neck following a car accident last Thursday. Doctors will review his scans in the coming days, but JPP would be facing a five- to six-month recovery if he needs surgery. That'd likely mean he'd miss most, if […]

Max Fried Leaves Game Early Tuesday

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Max Fried left his start against the Dodgers in the second inning on Tuesday after being hit in the left hand by a line drive from outfielder Alex Verdugo. X-rays turned out to be negative, and he's considered day-to-day with a left hand contusion. Fried allowed three earned runs in the […]

Emmanuel Sanders Not Putting Timetable On Return

Denver Broncos wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders (Achilles) isn't putting a timetable on his return from a torn Achilles last year a few days after running at full speed. He said he's "still sore every now and then" but has "been feeling good." Sanders started to work on his lateral movement with trainers on Tuesday, but […]

Cowboys Satisfied With Jason Garrett's Contract

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is willing to let head coach Jason Garrett's current deal expire before discussing a new one. The 53-year-old head coach will be firmly on the hot seat entering the 2019 season after taking over in the middle of the 2010 season. Garrett hasn't taken the team beyond the divisional round […]

Cowboys Make Offer To Dak Prescott

The Dallas Cowboys have made a long-term contract offer to quarterback Dak Prescott and are currently awaiting a counter-offer. The Cowboys are "sold" on Prescott as their long-term future, according to owner Jerry Jones, but the two sides aren't "close" to ironing anything out just yet. However, it would be an upset if Prescott isn't […]

Kelvin Herrera Likely Ready To Go Wednesday

Chicago White Sox relief pitcher Kelvin Herrera (back) said he will likely be ready to pitch on Wednesday after being unavailable both Monday and Tuesday. His rough outing on Sunday against Boston (three hits and five earned runs in two-thirds of an inning) raised his ERA up to 5.29 on the season. He's the main […]

Carlos Martinez Moving To Triple-A

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Carlos Martinez (shoulder) had a six-pitch, three-up-and-three-down outing for Single-A Peoria on Sunday, and his next appearance will come on Wednesday for Triple-A Memphis. He's likely to show he can pitch on back-to-back days before he's activated from the injured list, and he could make his season debut in relief […]

Brent Honeywell May Be Dealing With Nerve Issue

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Brent Honeywell (elbow, shoulder), who is shut down from throwing, could be dealing with a nerve issue in his upper right arm. He will rest and see a doctor for testing next week after being shut down in mid-April with elbow pain while rehabbing from Tommy John surgery last year. […]

Wilmer Font Will Start Wednesday

The New York Mets have told pitcher Wilmer Font that he will start on Wednesday against the Padres after just being acquired from the Rays. Font is stretched out to throw around 75 pitches on Wednesday, so he should be avoided for fantasy purposes. However, with both Jason Vargas and Steven Matz injured, the right-hander […]

Jed Lowrie Could Return Friday

New York Mets manager Mickey Callaway said that third baseman Jed Lowrie (knee) could join the Mets as soon as Friday. Lowrie has yet to play for the Mets in his first season, but that could change as early as this weekend. The 2018 All-Star should see regular playing time, but he'll need to play […]

Juan Soto Expected Back Saturday

Washington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto (back) played catch on the field on Tuesday, and team officials think he'll be ready to return from the injured list when he's eligible on Saturday. The 20-year-old was forced to the shelf with back spasms, but it looks like he'll return quickly and give the Nats lineup a needed […]

Trea Turner Takes BP Tuesday

Washington Nationals shortstop Trea Turner (finger) took a light round of batting practice on the field on Tuesday for the first time since he fractured his left index finger on April 2. He isn't yet taking full swings and isn't making full throws from shortstop, but he's making good progress and looks to be around […]

Khris Davis Scratched Tuesday Night

Oakland Athletics designated hitter Khris Davis (hip) has been scratched from the starting lineup on Tuesday. Davis was initially in the lineup, but he'll now sit after suffering a left hip contusion on Sunday. He should still be considered day-to-day, so hopefully the elite slugger can return on Wednesday and return to his homering ways […]

Jo Adell Recovering Quickly

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jo Adell (ankle, hamstring) is doing "really well" in his rehab from ankle and hamstring injuries and is "completely symptom-free," according to general manager Billy Eppler. Adell will start a spring-and-agility progression next week, but the Angels will slow play his return. Adell is the team's top prospect and No. 13 […]

Corey Kluber Thinks He'll Be Back This Year

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Corey Kluber (elbow), who is in a cast after fracturing his right elbow last week, doesn't think his 2019 season is over. He suffered a non-displaced fracture of the ulna bone, and the Indians said the right-hander will get his cast off in three weeks and will be X-rayed every week […]

Yangervis Solarte Let Go Tuesday

The San Francisco Giants designated infielder/outfielder Yangervis Solarte for assignment on Tuesday. Second baseman Donovan Solano was among the players that were called up from Triple-A Sacramento in a corresponding move. The switch-hitting Solarte was playing sporadically with the Giants and hit just .205/.247/.315 with a homer and seven RBI in 73 at-bats. He could […]

Tyson Ross Pushed Back, Ryan Carpenter To Start Thursday

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Tyson Ross (back) will have his next start pushed back to Friday against the Twins, as he's dealing with a stiff back. Ryan Carpenter will be brought up from the minors to start on Thursday against the Angels. Neither pitcher will be a recommended streamer this week, but Ross moves from […]

Lonnie Chisenhall Feeling Better

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Lonnie Chisenhall (calf, finger) said his calf is feeling better and will run in a straight line and take batting practice on Tuesday. He could attempt to do side-to-side drills on Wednesday. Chisenhall has yet to play in 2019, but he should be an option against right-handers for DFS purposes sometime later […]

Peter Bourjos, Chris Stratton Cut

The Los Angeles Angels designated outfielder Peter Bourjos and pitcher Chris Stratton for assignment on Tuesday to make room for designated hitter Shohei Ohtani (elbow), third baseman Zack Cozart (neck) and relief pitcher Cody Allen (back). Infielder Luis Rengifo was also optioned to the minors. The 32-year-old Bourjos was seeing limited playing time and hit […]

Wade LeBlanc On Track For Rehab Outing This Week

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Wade LeBlanc (oblique) had a successful bullpen session on Monday and should be ready to start a minor league rehab assignment later this week as he makes his return from a strained oblique. The left-hander was 2-0 with a 4.50 ERA, 1.63 WHIP and 6.8 K/9 in his first three starts […]

Christin Stewart Likely To Return Wednesday

Detroit Tigers outfielder Christin Stewart (quadriceps) is with the team on Tuesday but is likely to be activated from the injured list on Wednesday. Stewart was hitting just .222 (12-for-54) but did have three home runs and 13 RBI and should be able to help improve a struggling Detroit offense as an everyday outfielder. He […]

Jason Pierre-Paul Could Miss 2019 Season

Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul (neck) suffered a potential season-ending fractured neck in a single-car accident last Thursday, according to a league source. He will visit with neck specialists this week to see if there is hope in saving his season. This is troubling news for the 30-year-old veteran, who surprised with 12.5 […]

Cowboys Sold On Dak Prescott

Dallas Cowboys owners Jerry Jones said the team is "sold" on quarterback Dak Prescott and definitely want to get him signed to a long-term deal before the start of the 2019 season. "I am confident we will get this (deal) done," Jones said on Monday. Prescott, a fourth-round pick in 2016, has led the team […]

Amari Cooper's Contract Demands Are High

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper's contract demands on an extension have been deemed shockingly high by the Cowboys, with the team viewing the floor of his contract at $16 million annually. The team's contract talks aren't moving as fast with Cooper as they are with quarterback Dak Prescott. Dallas would like to get a […]

Martavis Bryant To Apply For Reinstatement In Coming Weeks

Free-agent suspended wide receiver Martavis Bryant said that he plans to apply for reinstatement in the coming weeks. The disappointing and oft-suspended wideout caught 19 passes for 266 yards (14.0 average) and no touchdowns in just eight games for the Raiders in 2018 before he was suspended late in the year. There's a chance he […]

Mecole Hardman Impresses Andy Reid

Kansas City Chiefs rookie wide receiver Mecole Hardman, a second-round pick, impressed head coach Andy Reid during rookie minicamp this weekend. Reid said that Hardman's route running was brutal at first, but the speedster continued to improve each time he ran routes. There's a good possibility that Tyreek Hill is suspended indefinitely by the league […]

J.J. Arcega-Whiteside Might Not Play Much

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver J.J. Arcega-Whiteside might not play much in his rookie season if the other receivers and tight ends on the roster stay healthy. Philly's fourth receiver in 2018 didn't play more than 29 offensive snaps in a single game. With the Eagles trying to use more two-tight end sets this season, the […]

Eagles Open To Extension For Carson Wentz

Philadelphia Eagles executive Howie Roseman and owner Jeffrey Lurie have been open about their desire to sign quarterback Carson Wentz to a long-term contract extension. Lurie said the team "absolutely" would be willing to ink Wentz sooner than later. “This guy is going to be a great player for the Philadelphia Eagles for a long […]

Avisail Garcia Resting Tuesday

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Avisail Garcia is not in the starting lineup on Tuesday.

Lowe has a hit in all six games so far in May (9-for-24, .375) […]

Dez Bryant Resumes Running

Free-agent wide receiver Dez Bryant (Achilles) posted a video of himself on Instagram on Monday coming out of a stance, running a route, catching a pass and falling to the ground.
