Houston Texans head coach Bill O'Brien said that the team "feels really good about where Will Fuller is right now" in his rehab from a torn ACL last year. O'Brien isn't putting a timetable on Fuller's return, but there is a chance that he's ready by training camp this summer. The 24-year-old has a ton […]

Matt Chapman Out, Chad Pinder Starting

Oakland Athletics third baseman Matt Chapman is out of the starting lineup on Thursday.

Aaron Hicks To Start Baseball Activities Thursday

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks (back) is scheduled to begin baseball activities (mainly throwing) on Thursday, according to manager Aaron Boone. Swinging could come next for Hicks.

Steve Pearce Activated, Sam Travis Optioned

The Boston Red Sox activated first baseman Steve Pearce (calf) from the 10-day injured list on Thursday and optioned first baseman Sam Travis to Triple-A Pawtucket in a corresponding move. Pearce, last year's unlikely World Series MVP, is likely to slot in at first base and hit third immediately on Thursday against A's left-hander Brett […]

The Oakland Raiders released wide receiver Seth Roberts on Thursday, according to a source. Roberts became expendable after the team inked Ryan Grant to a deal this week.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Anthony Miller (shoulder) caught 33 passes for 423 yards and a team-high seven touchdowns in 15 games in his rookie year in 2018.

Lindsay was […]

Anibal Sanchez Will Make His Next Start

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Anibal Sanchez (hip) has a "pretty good-sized" bruise on his hip after taking a comebacker in his start on Wednesday against the Nationals, but he came in walking fine on Thursday and told manager Dave Martinez he's good to make his next start. That next start will come on Monday against […]

Roman Quinn Beginning Rehab Assignment Thursday

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Roman Quinn (oblique) will begin a minor league rehab assignment with Single-A Clearwater on Thursday.

He's likely to serve as a utility outfielder with the Phillies once he's ready to […]

Anthony Alford Back In Minors

The Toronto Blue Jays optioned outfielder Anthony Alford back to Triple-A Buffalo on Thursday. Alford, formerly a top prospect for Toronto, was called up earlier this week when the team traded Kevin Pillar to the Giants.

A.J. Minter Activated, Bryse Wilson Sent Down

The Atlanta Braves activated relief pitcher A.J. Minter (shoulder) from the injured list on Thursday and optioned starting pitcher Bryse Wilson to Triple-A Gwinnett in a corresponding move. Minter filled in nicely for Arodys Vizcaino in the ninth-inning role in the second half last season and recorded 15 saves. There's a good chance he'll be […]

Matt Adams Remains Out Of Lineup

Washington Nationals first baseman Matt Adams (hip) remains out of the starting lineup on Thursday.

The New York Yankees officially placed shortstop Troy Tulowitzki on the 10-day injured list on Thursday with a low-grade calf strain. Minor league shortstop Thairo Estrada has been recalled from the minors in a corresponding move. Tulo just can't say healthy, although this injury shouldn't keep him out for too long. He's probably only worth […]

Marcell Ozuna To Have MRI Thursday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Marcell Ozuna (side) will undergo an MRI exam on Thursday in St. Louis.

Detroit Lions general manager Bob Quinn admitted that he's open to trading the No. 8 pick of the draft in order to move down within the first round. "It's the best way to build your roster the right way," Quinn said on the RapSheet and Friends podcast. "No. 8, I think there's a number of […]

Von Miller Adds Weight This Offseason

Denver Broncos outside linebacker Von Miller said he has added close to 10 pounds to his frame since the end of the 2018 season.

Yankees Calling Up Thairo Estrada

The New York Yankees are calling up shortstop Thairo Estrada, their No. 19 prospect per MLB Pipeline, from the minors to replace injured shortstop Troy Tulowitzki (calf). The 23-year-old Estrada can also play second base and third base, so he'll essentially become a utility infielder for the beat up Yankees in the early going. He […]

Troy Tulowitzki Has Low-Grade Calf Strain

Updating a previous report, New York Yankees shortstop Troy Tulowitzki suffered a low-grade left calf strain on Wednesday. "So that will almost certainly be an injured list," manager Aaron Boone said. The oft-injured 34-year-old is hurt already this season. That didn't take long. He had just two hits (one homer) in his 13 plate appearances, […]

Aledmys Diaz Will Play First Base This Weekend

Houston Astros shortstop Aledmys Diaz has been getting some work at first base recently and will make a start at the position this weekend, according to manager A.J. Hinch. Diaz is hitless in nine at-bats to begin the season and will serve in a utility infield role for the Astros in 2019. If he makes […]

Matt Adams Bothered By Hip Flexor

Washington Nationals first baseman Matt Adams twisted his hip during his fall in the game on Tuesday night. It was initially reported that Adams was pulled from the game due to back spasms, but it appears he instead twisted his hip when his foot got stuck in the ground. However, the left-handed slugger is hoping […]

Anibal Sanchez Has Hip Bruise

Cubs Sign David Bote To Extension

The Chicago Cubs signed infielder David Bote to a five-year, $15.003 million extension on Wednesday. The deal includes two option years. The super-utility player doesn't have a ton of fantasy value because of his uncertain playing time, but he's been productive for the Cubs when he's on the field. He already has four hits in […]

Brandon Morrow To Face Live Hitters Soon

Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Brandon Morrow (elbow) is progressing and will throw one more bullpen session before he faces live hitters. He'll also need to eventually go on a minor league rehab assignment before rejoining the Cubs. Morrow missed all of the second half of the season in 2018 due to right arm issues, but […]

Gregory Polanco Playing Seven Innings In Extended Spring Games

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Gregory Polanco (shoulder) is playing seven innings in the field in extended spring games and continues to make progress from offseason left shoulder surgery. Polanco probably still won't be back until sometime in May, but his progress is good news for all those fantasy owners that have him stashed in an injured […]

Ender Inciarte Getting Night Off, Johan Camargo Starts

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ender Inciarte is out of the starting lineup on Wednesday. Johan Camargo will draw the start in left field in his place and is hitting sixth against Cubs left-handed starter Jon Lester.
