Cordy Glenn Doubtful Against Broncos

Cincinnati Bengals left tackle Cordy Glenn (back) is doubtful for Week 13 against the Broncos. Glenn's replacement, Jake Fisher, was put on Injured Reserve on Thursday, so Cincy is hurting on the left side of the line. It's bad news for backup quarterback Jeff Driskel and good news for a Broncos defense that is worth […]

Sam Darnold, Robby Anderson Questionable

New York Jets rookie quarterback Sam Darnold (foot) and wide receiver Robby Anderson (ankle) are both questionable for Week 13 against the Titans. Darnold returned to QB drills this week, but with Josh McCown (back, hand) taken off the injury report, it seems likely that Darnold will rest up for one more week before returning […]

White Sox Avoid Arbitration With Leury Garcia

The Chicago White Sox avoided salary arbitration with outfielder Leury Garcia on Friday by agreeing to a one-year, $1.55 million deal. Garcia is a reserve outfielder who can also play some second base and shortstop. He hit .271/.303/.376 with four home runs, 32 RBI and 12 steals in 2018. He can be an asset for […]

James McCann Unlikely To Be Tendered

Detroit Tigers catcher James McCann is unlikely to be tendered a contract on Friday, which would make him a free agent. McCann hit just .220/.267/.314 with eight home runs and 39 RBI in 118 games for the rebuilding Tigers in 2018. He could latch on with another team if he becomes a free agent and […]

Craig Kimbrel Looking For Six-Year Deal

Free-agent closer Craig Kimbrel is said to be looking for a six-year deal in free agency. Kimbrel is one of the most dominant closers in baseball, but even for him that is a high ask. The flamethrowing right-hander was 5-1 with a 2.74 ERA, 0.99 WHIP, 42 saves and 96 strikeouts in 62 1/3 innings […]

Hunter Pence Makes Changes To Swing

Free-agent outfielder Hunter Pence made some swing changes already in the offseason and is eager to test them out in winter ball. He also made changes to the way he runs as he tries to stay healthy in 2019 for a new team. Pence will play in the Dominican winter league for the Toros del […]

Madison Bumgarner Unlikely To Be Traded

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Madison Bumgarner is unlikely to be traded, according to a team source. The veteran southpaw has been injured in each of the last two seasons and has one year left on his current deal with San Fran. While he was still solid with a 3.26 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 7.6 […]

Sal Romano Loses Weight

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Sal Romano said he has lost almost 15 pounds since the season ended. “I was always 270 (pounds), creeping up a little bit,” Romano said. “I just wanted to see how my body reacts. I’m going to see how I feel when I do start throwing and see how my arm […]

Jesse Winker's Rehab Almost Over

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Jesse Winker's (shoulder) rehab is essentially over, and he's just maintaining strength in his surgically repaired right shoulder now. He will start swinging a bat on Jan. 7. “I’ve already done some exercises with my training and rehab that if I were to do those in prior years, my shoulder would’ve been […]

Reds Checking In On Zack Greinke

The Cincinnati Reds have checked in on Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Zack Greinke and the possibility of a trade, according to a source. However, Greinke has a partial no-trade clause and the Reds are on his list. Greinke was still solid in 2018, going 15-11 with a 3.21 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 8.6 K/9 over […]

Mariners To Eat $60 Million In Robinson Cano Deal

The Seattle Mariners will eat roughly $60 million of the $120 million owed to second baseman Robinson Cano over the next five years if the blockbuster deal with the New York Mets goes down. Cano and closer Edwin Diaz are expected to be dealt to the Mets in exchange for outfielder Jay Bruce, reliever Anthony […]

Jalen Ramsey Questionable Against Colts

Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey (knee), free safety Tashaun Gipson (ankle) and linebacker Lerentee McCray (hamstring) are among seven players that are questionable for Week 13 against the Colts. Ramsey didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday but still has a shot to suit up. If he doesn't play, it'll be great news for both Colts quarterback […]

Ronald Jones II, Lavonte David Will Dress Sunday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Dirk Koetter said that rookie running back Ronald Jones II (hamstring) and linebacker Lavonte David (knee) will both be active in Week 13 against the Panthers. It doesn't mean either player will play significant snaps, but it's good news for both. Jones has been an utter disappointment in his rookie […]

DeSean Jackson Won't Play Against Panthers

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Dirk Koetter said that wide receiver DeSean Jackson (thumb) will not play in Week 13 against the Panthers. D-Jax has been wearing a brace on his thumb and hasn't been able to catch passes this week. In a good matchup against Carolina, both Chris Godwin and Adam Humphries have much […]

Keke Coutee To Be Game-Time Decision

Houston Texans head coach Bill O'Brien said that rookie wide receiver Keke Coutee (hamstring) will be a game-time decision in Week 13 against the Browns. Coutee just hasn't been able to shake his hamstring injury in his rookie season. Despite his upside, Coutee will be very hard to trust for fantasy owners as the No. […]

Danny Amendola Does Individual Drills Friday

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Danny Amendola (knee) only did individual drills in practice on Friday. Despite the fact that he hasn't practiced all week, The Palm Beach Post's Jason Lieser would be surprised if Amendola doesn't play in Week 13 against the Bills. We're not so confident that Amendola will suit up. Even if he […]

Evan Engram Not Expected To Play In Week 13

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram (hamstring) was riding the stationary bike and wasn't warming up for practice with the others on Friday. He's not expected to play in Week 13 against the Bears after tweaking his hamstring in pregame warmups last week. You need to replace Engram in your lineups for this weekend […]

Jeff McNeil Not Involved In Deal With Seattle

The New York Mets aren't including second baseman Jeff McNeil in a potential blockbuster trade that would involve Seattle Mariners second baseman Robinson Cano and closer Edwin Diaz. The two teams are closing in on a deal on Thursday night. As of now, the M's would send Cano and Diaz to the Mets in exchange […]

Cheslor Cuthbert, Jesse Hahn Avoid Arbitration

The Kansas City Royals avoided salary arbitration with infielder Cheslor Cuthbert and starting pitcher Jesse Hahn (elbow) on Thursday. Cuthbert settled for $850,000, while Hahn agreed to a one-year, $800,000 deal. Cuthbert is merely a utility player who hit a poor .194/.282/.301 with three home runs and seven RBI in just 103 at-bats in 2018. […]

Mets Close To Landing Robinson Cano, Edwin Diaz

A trade that would send Seattle Mariners second baseman Robinson Cano and closer Edwin Diaz to the New York Mets is close, according to sources. No announcement is expected to come on Thursday night, but it could be finalized on Friday. Cano must waive his full no-trade clause in order for the trade to go […]

Astros Won't Trade Forrest Whitley

Houston Astros general manager Jeff Luhnow said the team isn't willing to trade top pitching prospect Forrest Whitley. “We’ve said from the beginning Whitley’s not going anywhere except to Houston at some point in the near future," Luhnow said. Whitley is the team's No. 2 prospect and No. 8 overall in baseball heading into 2019, […]

Allen Hurns Playing Against Saints

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Allen Hurns (thumb) is active for Thursday night against the Saints. Even in a good matchup against New Orleans' defense, Hurns has no business being in starting fantasy lineups. The 27-year-old has four catches and one touchdown in the last four games. Amari Cooper is the only Cowboys wideout that should […]

Tyron Smith Inactive Thursday Night

Dallas Cowboys left tackle Tyron Smith (neck) is inactive on Thursday night against the Saints. Smith was a game-time decision but will end up missing his second straight game. He was active in Week 12 but didn't play at all. Cameron Fleming will replace him at left tackle. Smith's absence is a downgrade for Dallas' […]

Marquise Goodwin Misses Practice Thursday

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin (personal) met with coaches and team officials on Thursday but was excused from practice for the second straight day to deal with family matters. Goodwin did not play in Week 12, but the good news is he's back with the team and could return to action on Sunday […]

A's Avoid Arbitration With Josh Phegley

The Oakland Athletics avoided salary arbitration with catcher Josh Phegley on Thursday by agreeing to a one-year, $1.075 million deal. Phegley is a backup-caliber catcher in the big leagues and hit only .204/.255/.344 with two long balls and 15 RBI in just 39 games for Oakland in 2018. He has very limited fantasy value in […]

Matt Bryant Misses Practice Again

Atlanta Falcons kicker Matt Bryant (back) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Bryant has been injured for much of the year and doesn't look like he will be kicking in Week 13 against the Ravens. Even if he's active, you might want to shy away from him. Giorgio Tavecchio is still on […]

Mariners Willing To Trade Jean Segura?

The Seattle Mariners are in talks with multiple teams involving combinations of second baseman Robinson Cano, closer Edwin Diaz and shortstop Jean Segura, according to sources. They are also talking to teams about those players alone. Segura will not come cheaply after he hit .304/.341/.415 with 10 home runs, 63 RBI and 20 steals in […]

Garrett Richards Agrees With Padres

The San Diego Padres agreed on a two-year deal worth around $15 million with free-agent starting pitcher Garrett Richards (elbow) on Thursday, according to sources. Richards had Tommy John surgery and is expected to miss all of the 2019 season, so this deal is for 2020 and beyond. The oft-injured right-hander has high-end starting pitcher […]

Twins Avoid Arbitration With Ehire Adrianza

The Minnesota Twins avoided salary arbitration with shortstop Ehire Adrianza on Thursday by agreeing to a one-year, $1.3 million deal. Adrianza is mainly a utility infielder who hit .251/.301/.379 with six home runs, 39 RBI and five stolen bases in 114 games for the Twins in 2018. He has very limited value in AL-only leagues […]

Vance McDonald On Track To Play

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Vance McDonald (hip) practiced in full on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. McDonald should be able to play on Sunday night against the Chargers. The oft-injured tight end has exactly three catches for 27 yards in each of the last two games, and he's found the end zone twice in […]
