Lamar Jackson Trying To Improve Accuracy

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson said he made it a point to keep a wide base while trying to improve his accuracy this offseason. The 22-year-old is the team's franchise quarterback now after they got rid of Joe Flacco this offseason. In his first year in the NFL, Jackson completed 58.2 percent of his passes […]

Jaguars Won't Discipline Leonard Fournette

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone said running back Leonard Fournette will not be disciplined by the team after his arrest last week for driving with a suspended license. The NFL is unlikely to discipline the running back either, so he won't face a suspension to begin the year. Fournette ended 2018 on a sour […]

Todd Gurley Feeling Good

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley (knee) said he was "feeling pretty good" when asked about his knee at the team's offseason workouts on Monday. The 24-year-old had major reconstruction on his knee in 2014 while in college and re-injured it last December before playing sparingly down the stretch and through the playoffs. Head […]

Blake Swihart Designated For Assignment, Sandy Leon Coming Up

The Boston Red Sox designated catcher Blake Swihart for assignment on Tuesday, according to a source. In a corresponding move, the Red Sox are called up catcher Sandy Leon. The switch-hitting Swihart just never carved out a role in Boston and was hitting .231 (6-for-26) with a homer and four RBI this year. He'll either […]

Albert Wilson, Jakeem Grant Working Their Way Back

Miami Dolphins wide receivers Albert Wilson (hip) and Jakeem Grant (leg) continue to work their way back from injuries last season. Neither receiver might be ready for organized team activities, but they should both be good to go for training camp. Wilson is the one to watch in fantasy, as he could have a much […]

Reshad Jones Not Present At Voluntary Camp

Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores said that safety Reshad Jones isn't present at the team's voluntary camp this week. The 31-year-old had a down year in 2018 with 72 tackles and three interceptions (one touchdown) and has been the subject of trade rumors this offseason. He was present for the start of the team's […]

Grady Jarrett Not At Offseason Workouts

Atlanta Falcons defensive tackle Grady Jarrett wasn't present for the start of the team's offseason workouts on Monday. Jarrett had the $15.2 million franchise tag placed on him this offseason, and he's hoping to land a long-term contract extension by the deadline on July 15. Owner Arthur Blank has said that Jarrett will be a […]

Wide Receiver Not A High Priority For Packers

Even though the Green Bay Packers lost wide receiver Randall Cobb to free agency this offseason, it might not make much sense for them to go after a wideout with either of their first-round picks (No. 12, No. 30). There's a growing sense with the team's decision-makers that receiver isn't a top-four need for the […]

Travis Benjamin Agrees To Extension

The Los Angeles Chargers agreed to a one-year extension through the 2020 season with wide receiver Travis Benjamin. The deal includes a $5.5 million signing bonus, while his base salary for 2019 reduces from $5.25 million to $1 million. The deal creates $2.75 million in salary cap space. The 29-year-old had only 12 catches for […]

Hunter Henry Feeling Good

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Hunter Henry (knee) said he's feeling good after missing the entire 2018 regular season after tearing his ACL last May. “I'm pretty much full-go,” Henry explained. “Everything feels good. It still gets sore every once in a while, but it's nothing too bad. It's nothing that's crazy. It's just a […]

Mets Won't Use Edwin Diaz For Multiple Innings

New York Mets officials decided before this season that they would never use closer Edwin Diaz for more than three outs, according to manager Mickey Callaway. It's why he wasn't brought in until the 11th inning in the win over the Phillies on Monday night. Callaway also said Diaz would never pitch in a tie […]

Greg Bird Placed On Injured List, Mike Ford Called Up

The New York Yankees placed first baseman Greg Bird (foot) on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday with a left plantar fascia tear and called up infielder Mike Ford from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in a corresponding move. Outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury was also moved to the 60-day injured list. Bird's injured list stint is retroactive to April […]

X-Rays Negative On Cody Bellinger

X-rays came back negative on Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Cody Bellinger on Monday night after he was forced to leave the game after being hit by a pitch on his right knee. His fantasy owners and the Dodgers can breathe a sigh of relief, as Bellinger has been one of the majors hottest hitters, slashing […]

Tyler O'Neill Expected To Be Fine

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill (elbow) will be re-evaluated on Tuesday after leaving the game early on Monday, but manager Mike Shildt said the team doesn't believe he's dealing with anything structurally wrong with his elbow. O'Neill was hitless in his lone plate appearance on Monday and is hitting a healthy .286/.310/.464 with a […]

Packers Claim Sam Ficken Off Waivers

The Green Bay Packers claimed kicker Sam Ficken off waivers from the Seahawks on Monday, according to a source. The 26-year-old has gone three of six on field-goal tries and has made 14 of his 15 extra points in four games for the Rams over the last two years. He'll be depth behind Mason Crosby, […]

Robbie Gould Absent For 49ers Workouts

San Francisco 49ers kicker Robbie Gould was absent for the start of the team's offseason workouts on Monday. Gould isn't happy about receiving the franchise tag and was hoping to hit the open market so that he could return to Chicago and kick for the Bears. It doesn't sound like Gould is open to a […]

Jordan Taylor Could Return Punts

The Minnesota Vikings are intrigued with the idea of wide receiver Jordan Taylor returning punts in 2019 to replace cornerback Marcus Sherels in the role. Taylor returned 11 punts for 103 yards (9.4 average) in 2017. There's a good chance that the 27-year-old makes more noise on special teams than he does in the offense […]

Russell Wilson May Be Done Negotiating With Seattle

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson apparently won't negotiate another long-term deal with the team if a contract extension isn't reached by Monday night. This gives the rumor that Wilson would like to play elsewhere some legs. He gave the Seahawks an April 15 deadline for a contract extension, and so far the two sides haven't […]

Jaime Barria To Start Tuesday

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Jaime Barria will start against the Rangers on Tuesday, pushing Matt Harvey back to Wednesday. The right-hander will take the rotation spot of Tyler Skaggs (ankle) for the time being, but he could secure a rotation spot if he pitches well. The 22-year-old was decent in his 26 starts a […]

Noel Cuevas Injured Monday

Colorado Rockies outfielder Noel Cuevas left the game in the fourth inning on Monday with a leg injury. Cuevas was making his season debut after being called up from the minors before the day. He was hitless in his two plate appearances before departing. Cuevas and Raimel Tapia were set to share playing time in […]

Ken Giles Under The Weather Monday

Toronto Blue Jays closer Ken Giles (illness) was unavailable on Monday night because he was sick, according to manager Charlie Montoyo. It explains why Joe Biagini came in for the save against the Twins. Giles has been solid so far this year, posting a 2.57 ERA, 1.44 WHIP, four saves and 11 strikeouts in his […]

Cody Bellinger Hit By Pitch, Leaves Game Monday

Los Angeles Dodgers slugger Cody Bellinger was hit by a pitch on the right knee on Monday and had to leave the game early. He entered the game leading the National League with nine home runs and 22 runs scored, and he had an RBI double in the first inning before his injury. Bellinger tried […]

Rich Hill Hoping For Only One Rehab Start

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Rich Hill (knee) is hoping to join the major league rotation after his rehab start with High-A Rancho Cucamonga on Wednesday. It won't be up to Hill ultimately, but it's good to see that he's being optimistic. If the veteran left-hander does only make one rehab start, he'd be unlikely […]

No Timetable For Alex Wood

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Alex Wood (back), who had a setback on the last day of spring training, has no timetable for when he'll begin a rehab assignment and is taking things one day at a time. The left-hander won't be back until at least sometime in May. Moving from the Dodgers to the Reds […]

Chad Bettis Removed From Rotation

Colorado Rockies pitcher Chad Bettis has been removed from the starting rotation now that Antonio Senzatela (heel) is back from the injured list. Starter Tyler Anderson (knee) is also working his way back to health and should rejoin the rotation soon. Bettis has been a disaster this year, sporting an 8.78 ERA, 2.10 WHIP and […]

David Dahl Inching Closer To Return

Colorado Rockies outfielder David Dahl (core) is moving closer to a return and is scheduled to play in an extended spring training game on Tuesday. Dahl's injured list stint expires on April 18, when he'll be eligible to return. The left-handed hitter should remain stashed in all formats. He was off to a hot start […]

Tyler Anderson Throws Without Issues

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Tyler Anderson (knee) threw in extended spring training on Monday and didn't have any issues with his knee, according to manager Bud Black. The left-hander allowed a whopping 18 hits and 11 earned runs in nine innings in his two starts this year before going on the injured list. Anderson can […]

Chris Iannetta Lands On Injured List, Antonio Senzatela Back

The Colorado Rockies placed catcher Chris Iannetta on the 10-day injured list on Monday with a right lat strain and activated starting pitcher Antonio Senzatela (heel) from the injured list in a corresponding move. Senzatela was set to start on Monday night against the Padres. He went 6-6 with a 4.38 ERA in 23 outings […]

Andrew Benintendi, Jackie Bradley Jr. Questionable For Tuesday

Boston Red Sox outfielders Andrew Benintendi (foot) and Jackie Bradley Jr. (illness) are both questionable to play on Tuesday. "We’ll see. Jackie feels better. We’ll see how he feels tomorrow. Beni, a lot better. We’ll see when we get there what lineup we have," manager Alex Cora said. Benintendi fouled a ball off his foot […]

Garrett Cooper Working Out

Miami Marlins outfielder Garrett Cooper (calf) has started running and taking batting practice as he works his way back from a calf strain. Cooper went 0-for-7 with a strikeout before landing on the injured list. He's an option for some outfield playing time when he's healthy, and he can also play some first base if […]
