Sean Lee Expected To Miss Some Time

There is no definitive timetable for Dallas Cowboys linebacker Sean Lee (hamstring) after he aggravated his hamstring on Monday night, but he's expected to be out for "a little bit," according to head coach Jason Garrett. It's not a big surprise considering Lee's inability to stay on the field for long stretches of time. Even […]

Blue Jays Interested In J.A. Happ Reunion

The Toronto Blue Jays are interested in signing free-agent starting pitcher J.A. Happ, who they traded to the Yankees over the summer, according to sources. The left-handed veteran went 10-6 with a 4.18 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 10.3 K/9 over 20 starts with Toronto last year, but he was noticeably better in the Bronx after […]

Nick Mullens To Get Another Start

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Nick Mullens will make the start under center for the second straight game on Monday night in Week 10 against the Giants. This isn't much of a surprise after Mullens burst on the scene last Thursday and demolished the lowly Raiders, but it's now official. C.J. Beathard has shown flashes filling […]

Mets Will Consider Pursuing High-Profile Relievers

The New York Mets will consider pursuing free-agent relief pitchers such as Craig Kimbrel, Zach Britton, David Robertson, Adam Ottavino and Andrew Miller, according to major league sources. The Mets bullpen is thin and without an obvious closer, as Robert Gsellman closed out the year as the ninth-inning man. Miller could be up for a […]

Jack Conklin In Concussion Protocol

Tennessee Titans right tackle Jack Conklin (concussion) is in the league's concussion protocol after suffering a head injury on Monday night in the win over the Cowboys. Conklin is one of the league's best right tackles, so it'd be a downgrade for quarterback Marcus Mariota and the Titans running game against the Patriots in Week […]

Tajae Sharpe Expected To Be Fine For Week 10

Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel said wide receiver Tajae Sharpe tweaked something in pre-game warmups on Monday night but was close to 100 percent and should be fine for Week 10 against the Patriots. Sharpe caught his only target for no gain in the win over the Cowboys and has 17 catches on 25 […]

Yankees Looking At Charlie Morton, Daniel Hudson, David Phelps

The New York Yankees requested medicals on free-agent pitchers Charlie Morton, Daniel Hudson and David Phelps. Morton is by far the most notable of the group after going 15-3 with a 3.13 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and career-high 10.8 K/9 over 30 starts this year. He's 34 years old, though, and dealt with arm issues down […]

Lions Sign Bruce Ellington, Waive Ameer Abdullah

The Detroit Lions signed free-agent wide receiver Bruce Ellington on Tuesday and waived running back Ameer Abdullah in a corresponding move, according to a source. Ellington caught eight of 12 targets for 92 yards and a touchdown for the Texans in three games earlier this season before he was released. He'll help with depth after […]

Rays Talking About Mike Zunino

The Tampa Bay Rays have had discussions with the Seattle Mariners regarding catcher Mike Zunino, according to sources.

David Freitas is the only other catcher on the Mariners […]

Mariners Want To Hold Mitch Haniger, Edwin Diaz, Marco Gonzales

The Seattle Mariners would like to hold onto outfielder Mitch Haniger, closer Edwin Diaz and starting pitcher Marco Gonzales, but "everyone else is up for grabs." Sources are saying that the M's are considering a full-fledged teardown of the roster this winter after finishing third in the American League West in 2018. Haniger and Diaz […]

Miguel Cabrera On Track For Spring Training

Detroit Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera (biceps) is on track to be ready in time for the start of spring training, according to general manager Al Avila. Cabrera missed the final three and a half months of the season after he had surgery to fix a ruptured left biceps tendon. Miggy hit .299/.395/.448 in just […]

Diamondbacks Willing To Listen on Paul Goldschmidt, Zack Greinke

The Arizona Diamondbacks are willing to listen to trade offers on anyone this winter, including first baseman Paul Goldschmidt and starting pitcher Zack Greinke. However, one rival thinks a Goldschmidt trade would be remote. Another rival thought the Diamondbacks would have to pay roughly one-third of Greinke's $34 million salary to trade him. Arizona will […]

Broncos Staying The Course With Vance Joseph

Denver Broncos general manager John Elway isn't ready to fire head coach Vance Joseph and told reporters last week he'd seen enough "good things" during the first half of the season to remain confident. “At this point, we’re going to stay the course,” Elway said during his weekly appearance on Orange & Blue 760, a […]

Adam Shaheen Could Return To Practice This Week

Chicago Bears tight end Adam Shaheen (foot), who has been on Injured Reserve since he injured his foot in the preseason, could resume practicing with the team as early as this Wednesday, according to head coach Matt Nagy. However, it'd start a three-week window for him to be activated, and he'd unlikely be ready to […]

Torrey Smith Not Practicing Tuesday

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Torrey Smith (knee) missed practice for the second straight day on Tuesday. Smith has missed the last two games and seems primed to miss his third on a short week Thursday against the Steelers. In his absence, rookie D.J. Moore has seen much more work and will once again be in […]

Eli Manning Will Start Monday Night

New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning will start on Monday night against the 49ers in Week 10, according to head coach Pat Shurmur. Manning has been bad this year but was taking the first-team repetitions in practice on Tuesday and will remain the starter for at least another week. Backup Kyle Lauletta was arrested last […]

Sony Michel Likely To Return In Week 10

New England Patriots rookie running back Sony Michel (knee), who has missed the last two games with a sprained MCL, is likely to return and play in Week 10 against the Titans, according to a source. However, he'll need a good week of practice without any setbacks in order to be cleared. Keep a close […]

Cowboys Won't Make In-Season Coaching Change

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said the team would not be making an in-season coaching change following the team's 28-14 Monday night loss to the Titans. Dallas is now 3-5 on the year and two games back of the NFC East-leading Redskins. Head coach Jason Garrett has gone 70-58 with only two playoff appearances and […]

Cowboys Sticking With Dak Prescott

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones confirmed that the team will move forward with quarterback Dak Prescott as the starter. “Dak is the quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys. He’s young, and he’s going to get extended," Jones said. Even with a new No. 1 wideout in Amari Cooper, Prescott struggled in the Monday night loss to […]

Taywan Taylor Questionable To Return Monday

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Taywan Taylor (foot) left the game early on Monday night against the Cowboys and is questionable to return. Taylor was able to walk off the field on his own, but he looked to be in a considerable amount of pain before leaving. He had caught both of his targets for 24 […]

Yankees Interested In Re-Signing J.A. Happ

The New York Yankees have expressed interest in re-signing starting pitcher J.A. Happ, according to general manager Brian Cashman. The 36-year-old Happ was great for the Yankees after being acquired from the Blue Jays, compiling a 2.69 ERA and 4.21 FIP in 11 starts over 63 2/3 innings. “The performance level was exactly what we […]

Sean Lee Injured Monday

Dallas Cowboys linebacker Sean Lee (hamstring) aggravated his hamstring injury in the third quarter and is questionable to return on Monday night against the Titans. It's a recurring injury for Lee and one that kept him out for multiple games already this year. Lee seems to be constantly injured but is a tackling machine when […]

Jose Reyes Plans To Play In 2019

Free-agent infielder Jose Reyes plans to play in 2019. Reyes will turn 36 next June and hit a pathetic .189/.260/.320 with four home runs, 16 RBI and five stolen bases for the Mets in 228 at-bats. He'll likely have to settle for a minor league deal as a utility player somewhere and is no longer […]

Andrew Miller Is Healthy

Free-agent relief pitcher Andrew Miller's agent, Mark Rodgers, said that his client is fully healthy heading into the offseason after landing on the disabled list three different times in 2018 with knee, hamstring and shoulder injuries. “Altcheck saw absolutely nothing that would keep him from being the old Andrew Miller,” Rodgers said Monday at the […]

Lance McCullers Jr. Could Need Surgery

Houston Astros general manager Jeff Luhnow acknowledged the possibility that starting pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. (elbow) could need surgery on his right elbow that would keep him from pitching in 2019. Luhnow said that McCullers "has been seen by some doctors and I think we're going to know more shortly." UCL damage would mean that […]

Saints To Work Out Dez Bryant

The New Orleans Saints will bring in three free-agent wide receivers for a workout on Tuesday, with Dez Bryant being one of them, according to sources. Bryant discussed a contract earlier this year with the Browns, but they couldn't work anything out. The Saints placed Ted Ginn on Injured Reserve a week ago and haven't […]

Cubs Won't Discuss Extension For Joe Maddon

Chicago Cubs president Theo Epstein said he has informed manager Joe Maddon that the team will not discuss a contract extension this winter and will re-evaluate the situation later in the 2019 season. Maddon will be a lame-duck manager next season, and there have been whispers that Maddon's relationship with the front office is strained. […]

Peter Alonso Will Compete For First Base Job

New York Mets general manager Brady Van Wagenen said that first base prospect Peter Alonso will be in big league camp in spring training with a chance to win the first base job. Van Wagenen said "he has a shot to be an impact player." Alonso raised eyebrows at Double-A Binghamton and Triple-A Las Vegas […]

Brett Gardner Could Be Starting Left Fielder

New York Yankees outfielder Brett Gardner "has a chance to be" the team's full-time left fielder in 2019, but "no promises have been made," according to general manager Brian Cashman. The Yanks declined Gardner's 2019 option but re-signed him to a modest one-year deal. The 35-year-old hit .236/.322/.368 with only 12 home runs, 45 RBI […]

Shohei Ohtani On Schedule After Surgery

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher/designated hitter Shohei Ohtani (elbow) is progressing on schedule after having Tommy John surgery, and he is almost fully able to extend his right elbow. General manager Billy Eppler said there won't be a more clear timeline for Ohtani's return until January. All we know is that Ohtani won't be able […]
