Vikings Sign Sean Mannion

The Minnesota Vikings signed free-agent quarterback Sean Mannion to an undisclosed deal on Sunday, a source told NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. The 26-year-old will battle Kyle Sloter for the right to back up Kirk Cousins in 2019. Mannion played in 10 games (one start) in four seasons with the Rams and completed 33 of 53 […]

Dwayne Haskins' Stock Is Falling

Ohio State quarterback Dwayne Haskins' draft stock continues to sink, according to sources, and he may be the fourth passer picked in this year's draft. Oklahoma's Kyler Murray is expected to go first overall to the Arizona Cardinals, and Missouri's Drew Lock and Duke's Daniel Jones may have also jumped Haskins. Even so, there are […]

Broncos Meet With Drew Lock

The Denver Broncos were scheduled to meet with Missouri quarterback Drew Lock on Sunday and Monday. The Broncos traded for Joe Flacco in the offseason, but he's just a short-term solution. General manager John Elway is believed to be infatuated with Lock, so the Broncos could elect to take him if he's available at pick […]

Dwayne Haskins To Visit With Redskins, Broncos

Ohio State quarterback Dwayne Haskins is set to visit with the Washington Redskins and Denver Broncos this week, according to a source. Both Washington and Denver have been doing their homework on the top passers in this draft class as they look for a franchise passer. Joe Flacco is just a stopgap in Denver and […]

JaCoby Jones Could Move Rehab Assignment To Triple-A

Detroit Tigers outfielder JaCoby Jones (shoulder) could move his rehab assignment to Triple-A Toledo. The Tigers want him to receive plenty of minor league at-bats to make sure that he's ready when he returns from the injured list, which likely won't happen until next week. Jones has yet to play in 2019 and has a […]

Matt Moore Dealing With Meniscus Injury

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Matt Moore (knee) said he's dealing with a meniscus injury but is encouraged that it can be fixed with rest and rehab instead of through surgery. "It’s not really swollen up very much," Moore said, "so I think that’s kind of why rehabbing, at least giving it a shot, makes so […]

Justin Smoak Not In Lineup Tuesday

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Justin Smoak (neck) is not in the starting lineup on Tuesday. Alen Hanson will draw the start at first base and is hitting eighth against Red Sox starting pitcher Chris Sale. Smoak last played on Saturday and has been dealing with a neck issue that has kept him out of […]

Good Chance Redskins Trade For Josh Rosen

There's a good chance the Washington Redskins trade for Arizona Cardinals quarterback Josh Rosen this offseason. Colt McCoy and Case Keenum are merely stopgap solutions, while Alex Smith (leg) may never play again in the NFL. The Cardinals are expected to take Oklahoma QB Kyler Murray at No. 1 overall, which would make Rosen expendable. […]

Nick Chubb Should Be Starter In 2019

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb should be the starting running back in 2019, even after Kareem Hunt serves his eight-game suspension. Chubb, the No. 33 pick in 2018, earned the team's trust with a strong rookie season and should be in the RB1 conversation during draft season. However, Hunt, who led the league in […]

Little Progress Between Seahawks, Russell Wilson

It appears that the Seattle Seahawks and quarterback Russell Wilson have made "very little progress" in contract-extension negotiations, even though Wilson has set an April 15 deadline. The franchise tag is unrealistic in this situation, and Wilson could want to become the highest paid player at his position this time around (meaning $34-35 million per […]

Bengals Release Mark Walton

The Cincinnati Bengals released running back Mark Walton over the weekend after he was arrested for the third time this year. The fourth-round pick in 2018 finished his rookie season with just 34 rushing yards on 14 carries, as he was buried on the depth chart. He surrendered to police last week to face felony […]

Jalen Ramsey Not Expected To Report For OTAs

Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey is unlikely to report for the team's organized team activities, as he prefers to work at his dad's performance-training facility in Nashville. Jacksonville also hasn't signed Ramsey to a contract extension after the 24-year-old make back-to-back Pro Bowl trips. He'll make a base salary of $3.6 million in 2019, ranking […]

DeMarcus Lawrence Needs Surgery

Dallas Cowboys defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence will have surgery on Wednesday to fix a torn labrum in his shoulder and is expected to miss four to six months. It'll put his availability for training camp and the start of the season in jeopardy. Lawrence's plan is to miss the entire preseason and be ready for […]

Gerardo Parra Fine After Hit By Pitch

San Francisco Giants outfielder Gerardo Parra has a cut on his lip but is otherwise fine and will be available on Tuesday after being hit in the face by a pitch in the loss to the Padres on Monday night. He was hitless in his lone plate appearance on the night and has just six […]

Hyun-Jin Ryu Will Go On Injured List

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that starting pitcher Hyun-Jin Ryu (groin) will go on the injured list after leaving his start early on Monday with a strained left groin. The good news is that this is a precautionary move, so he shouldn't be out for an extended period of time like he was […]

Mike Clevinger Expects To Make Next Start

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Mike Clevinger (back) said he will make his next start after being pulled as a precaution on Sunday against the Blue Jays. Clevinger allowed just one hit in five scoreless innings while walking one and fanning 10 before being pulled against Toronto. He has yet to allow a run in his […]

Alex Avila Placed On Injured List

The Arizona Diamondbacks placed catcher Alex Avila on the injured list on Sunday after he strained his left quadriceps while circling the bases on a home run on Friday. He was hitting .333 with two home runs and five RBI in six games this year and was only attractive in deep two-catcher or NL-only leagues. […]

Nick Tropeano To Throw Simulated Games

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Nick Tropeano (shoulder) is starting to throw simulated games at the team's spring training complex in Arizona with the intention of building up to six innings. He's already thrown five to six bullpen sessions and has been feeling good. The 28-year-old won't be an option for the Halos rotation for […]

Miguel Sano Doing Baseball Activities

Minnesota Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said that third baseman Miguel Sano (heel) has progressed past the conditioning stage in his rehab and is now doing baseball activities. Baldelli isn't putting a timetable on Sano starting a rehab assignment but said it "could be maybe within a week." The power-hitting third baseman was a disaster in […]

Aaron Hicks Still Not Hitting

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks (back) is throwing but has yet to resume hitting. The oft-injured outfielder is also a slow healer, which makes him a very frustrating player to own. He is valuable for his power and speed combination in a strong Yankees lineup when he's healthy, but you shouldn't expect him to […]

John Means To Start Tuesday, Dan Straily To Work Out Of 'Pen

Baltimore Orioles pitcher John Means will get the start on Tuesday against the A's, while the O's will use Dan Straily in relief for the time being. The long-term plan is to have Straily work out of the rotation. Means will not be a recommended fantasy streamer on Tuesday, while Straily will be a very […]

Joe Ross Joins Nationals Bullpen

Washington Nationals pitcher Joe Ross was recalled from Triple-A on Sunday to help the team's beleaguered bullpen. Ross was 1-0 with a 4.02 ERA in seven games in spring training and is unlikely to have any fantasy value in a relief role. The 25-year-old has strikeout upside but made only three starts for Washington in […]

Matt Moore Could Need Surgery

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Ron Gardenhire said that starting pitcher Matt Moore (knee) could be facing surgery after injuring his knee in his start on Saturday. "There's decisions to be made on how they want to attack it, whether he can go rehab it for 10 days or something like that. And then there's the […]

Orlando Arcia Focused On Going The Other Way

Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Orlando Arcia had gotten off to a slow start this year, but he entered last Saturday's game with four hits in his last seven at-bats, including two home runs, five RBI and two walks. None of his hits up until then have been pulled, either. The 24-year-old said it's an approach that […]

Jeremy Jeffress Could Return On Next Homestand

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Jeremy Jeffress (shoulder) threw 25 pitches in 1 1/3 innings with Triple-A San Antonio on Friday. The right-hander could make his season debut on the team's next homestand if he doesn't suffer any setbacks. Jeffress is expected to pitch again Monday or Tuesday and will likely make three to four more […]

Brandon Nimmo Slumping

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo was given the day off to clear his head on Sunday, although he later entered the game and finished 1-for-3 with two of his four hardest-hit balls of the season. After Sunday, his average was up to .103 with a 47 percent strikeout rate. He has been having trouble […]

Travis d'Arnaud Activated On Sunday

The New York Mets activated catcher Travis D'Arnaud (elbow) from the 10-day injured list on Sunday and optioned catcher Tomas Nido to Triple-A Syracuse in a corresponding move. d'Arnaud had Tommy John surgery last April 17 and will serve as the primary backup to Wilson Ramos. He went 2-for-7 with a walk and a strikeout […]

Rangers Place Ronald Guzman On Injured List

The Texas Rangers placed first baseman Ronald Guzman (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list before their 7-2 loss to the Angels on Sunday. Manager Chris Woodward said that Guzman has a moderate Grade 2 strain of his right hamstring and will miss three to four weeks. Logan Forsythe and rookie Patrick Wisdom will share duties […]

Alex Reyes Won't Be Starter In Minors

St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Alex Reyes, who was sent to Triple-A Memphis on Saturday, will be pitching in a multi-inning role out of the bullpen on the farm, according to manager Mike Shildt. Reyes missed nearly two full seasons due to arm troubles that required surgery, and he allowed five runs and walked six in […]

Troy Tulowitzki, Giancarlo Stanton Play Long Toss Monday

New York Yankees shortstop Troy Tulowitzki (calf) and outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (biceps) played long toss before batting practice on Monday, but manager Aaron Boone said it will be a while before Tulo can come back. Given Tulowitzki's history with injuries, the Yankees should expected to be extremely cautious with him. He should only be a […]
