Aaron Judge Won't Return To Lineup Tuesday

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (wrist) had no issues after taking part in a simulated game on Monday, but he won't return to the starting lineup on Tuesday against the Red Sox. Wednesday could be the day that the slugger returns for the first time since fracturing his wrist in late July. Judge is […]

Redskins Signing Michael Floyd

The Washington Redskins are signing free-agent wide receiver Michael Floyd on Monday, according to a source. Washington clearly isn't happy with the production they are getting from Jamison Crowder, Josh Doctson and Paul Richardson, so they are bringing in some competition/depth. They also added former first-rounder Breshad Perriman on Monday. Floyd didn't make final cuts […]

Broncos Sticking With Hot Hand In Backfield

Denver Broncos head coach Vance Joseph said he isn't considering starting rookie running back Phillip Lindsay after he has impressed in the first two weeks. “No, because it doesn’t matter. Our deal with that room is more of gameplan. It’s what they do best. It’s more of who has the hot hand that day," Joseph […]

Zane Gonzalez Dealt With Groin Injury

Former Cleveland Browns kicker Zane Gonzalez (groin) had been kicking with a groin injury that required an MRI exam on Monday, according to a source. The Browns wound up releasing Gonzalez and signing Greg Joseph on Monday. The groin issue might help explain why Gonzalez missed two field goals and two extra points in the […]

Jarvis Landry, Seth DeValve On Injury Report

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry (knee) and tight end Seth DeValve (hamstring) were on the injury report for Week 3 on Monday. DeValve didn't practice, while Landry was limited. The Browns didn't actually conduct a practice, so the report was an estimation. Landry's knee issue isn't believed to be serious and shouldn't keep him […]

Shaquill Griffin Active On Monday

Seattle Seahawks cornerback Shaquill Griffin (thigh) is active for Week 2 against the Bears on Monday night. However, cornerback Tre Flowers (hamstring) and linebackers Bobby Wagner (groin) and K.J. Wright (knee) are out. Seattle's defense was already weak coming into this game, and they are very vulnerable all over, which is great news for Bears […]

Bud Norris Unavailable On Monday

St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher Bud Norris (finger) is unavailable out of the bullpen on Monday so that he can let the skin on his right middle finger heal. Norris was the closer for most of the season, but he recently lost his job while going through a rough patch while dealing with a hip […]

Sean Reid-Foley To Make At Least One More Start

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Sean Reid-Foley will make at least one more start before the end of the season. The team is monitoring his innings, and he's currently at 155 2/3 for the season. Reid-Foley has a 5.54 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and nice 11.1 K/9 over five starts in the majors this season. The […]

Tomas Nido Has Earned More Starts

New York Mets manager Mickey Callaway said catcher Tomas Nido has earned more starts down the stretch. Nido is more of a defense-first backstop and is slashing only .178/.208/.260 with a home run and eight RBI in 73 at-bats for the Mets in 2018. He can continue being ignored in fantasy leagues.

Anthony Alford Called Up Monday

The Toronto Blue Jays called up outfield prospect Anthony Alford from the minors on Monday. The team's No. 5 prospect hit just .238/.314/.339 with five home runs, 36 RBI and 17 steals between Single-A Dunedin and Triple-A Buffalo in the minors this year. It's unlikely he'll see enough playing time down the stretch to be […]

Brandon Drury Doubtful To Return This Year

Toronto Blue Jays infielder Brandon Drury (hand) is "doubtful" to return before the end of the season despite ditching his removable brace. He will begin hitting and fielding in the near future, and the Blue Jays are hoping to make his offseason a normal one. It's been a lost season for Drury, who has played […]

Larry Fitzgerald Will Be Monitored In Practice

Arizona Cardinals head coach Steve Wilks said that wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald (hamstring) will be monitored in practice this week, but Wilks knows that Fitzgerald wants to play in Week 3 against the Bears. Despite being 35 years old, Fitz was a WR2 coming into the season. However, Arizona's poor offense and weak quarterback play […]

Maikel Franco Expected To Return In 3-4 Days

Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Maikel Franco (shoulder) is still sore from falling into the camera well last week while attempting to make a catch in foul territory, but he is making progress and has been hitting in the cages. Franco is expected to be ready to play again in three to four days. He's been […]

Gerrit Cole Pushed Back, Josh James Starting Tuesday

Houston Astros starting pitcher Gerrit Cole, who was initially scheduled to pitch on Tuesday, is being pushed back to Friday against the Angels. The Astros are trying to get their rotation set up for the postseason. Not only does this give Cole some extra rest, but it's also a better matchup for his fantasy owners. […]

No Practice For Neal Sterling On Monday

New York Mets tight end Neal Sterling (concussion) did not practice on Monday. Sterling didn't have a catch in the Week 2 loss to the Dolphins and has three catches for 27 yards on the season. On a short week, Sterling may be unlikely to play against the Browns this Thursday. New York's tight end […]

Browns Sign Rod Streater

The Cleveland Browns signed free-agent wide receiver Rod Streater on Monday. The sixth-year pro didn't play at all last season but had 18 catches for 191 yards and two touchdowns in 2016 with the 49ers. He'll provide depth behind Jarvis Landry, rookie Antonio Callaway and Rashard Higgins after the team traded Josh Gordon to the […]

Redskins Signing Breshad Perriman

The Washington Redskins are signing free-agent wide receiver Breshad Perriman on Monday, according to a source. Perriman proved to be a first-round bust after catching 43 passes for 576 yards and three touchdowns after being taken in the 2015 draft for the Ravens. He's unlikely to become fantasy relevant and will be buried on Washington's […]

Francisco Cervelli Out With Flu-Like Symptoms

Pittsburgh Pirates catcher Francisco Cervelli (illness) has been scratched from the starting lineup on Monday with flu-like symptoms. Jacob Stallings is replacing him behind the plate and is batting eighth against Royals starter Brad Keller. Stallings is a desperation catching option in DFS on Monday.

Joey Gallo Scratched From Lineup Monday

Texas Rangers outfielder Joey Gallo (toe) was scratched from the starting lineup on Monday with a bruised right toe after he fouled a ball off his foot in San Diego. Willie Calhoun will replace him in left field and hit sixth against Rays starter Tyler Glasnow. Calhoun isn't a bad DFS choice as a cheaper […]

James Paxton Unsure When He'll Rejoin Rotation

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher James Paxton (illness), who has been battling a combination of the flu and pneumonia, is with the team in Houston but is unsure when he will rejoin the rotation. Paxton is running out of time before the end of the regular season, but he might be able to make one more […]

Mitch Garver Still Dealing With Concussion Symptoms

Minnesota Twins catcher Mitch Garver (head) is still dealing with concussion symptoms after taking a foul tip off his mask last Wednesday. Garver has no timetable for a return, and he may not play again this year with only a week-plus left. Willians Astudillo and Chris Gimenez will continue to split time behind the plate […]

Chance Sisco Still In Concussion Protocol

Baltimore Orioles catcher Chance Sisco (head) remains in the concussion protocol and is unavailable to play on Monday. Sisco took a foul tip off his mask on Sunday and also suffered a laceration on his chin. It's unknown when he might be able to return to the lineup, but the O's won't take any chances […]

Miguel Sano Could Return Tuesday

Minnesota Twins third baseman Miguel Sano (knee) is available off the bench on Monday and could start at third base on Tuesday, according to manager Paul Molitor. Sano hasn't played since Sept. 4. He's been a massive fantasy disappointment in 2018, hitting .202/.285/.405 with 13 home runs and 41 RBI after slugging a career-high 28 […]

Touki Toussaint To Start Wednesday

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Touki Toussaint will make the start on Wednesday against the Cardinals. Toussaint is a rotation fixture for the future, but he's struggled in his limited action at the big league level in his rookie season, posting a 4.67 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 15 strikeouts in 17 1/3 innings over four outings […]

Jose Urena Will Make Next Start

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Jose Urena (hand) is fine after leaving his start on Sunday with a hand cramp, according to head coach Don Mattingly. Urena won't miss any time and will be able to make his next start against the Reds this weekend. The right-hander has been solid in his very three starts, going […]

Patriots Cutting Corey Coleman

The New England Patriots are cutting wide receiver Corey Coleman on Monday in order to make room for Josh Gordon on the roster, according to a source. The Patriots released one former Brown after trading for a Brown. Coleman has now been traded and released from two teams in 2018 after proving to be a […]

Michael Fulmer Has Meniscus Damage

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Michael Fulmer's (knee) MRI exam showed meniscus damage. He will get a second opinion from Dr. James Andrews before his next move is determined. Either way, we don't expect Fulmer to pitch again in 2018. The right-hander will finish with a disappointing 3-12 record, 4.69 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 110 strikeouts […]

Patriots Officially Trade For Josh Gordon

The New England Patriots acquired wide receiver Josh Gordon from the Cleveland Browns on Monday in exchange for a fifth-round pick, according to sources. If Gordon isn't active for 10 games, the Patriots will receive a late-round pick from the Browns. While Gordon is still an off-the-field risk, his upside is deniable, and his fantasy […]

David Johnson To Be Used More As Receiver

Arizona Cardinals head coach Steve Wilks said running back David Johnson will be used more out of the slot moving forward in order to utilize him in space. About time. It took the Cardinals being outscored 58-6 in the first two weeks Wilks and the coaching staff to change things up. Johnson attempted 22 rushes […]

Patriots Close To Landing Josh Gordon

The New England Patriots are getting close to trading for Cleveland Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon, according to a source. Gordon wore out his welcome in Cleveland and was believed to be on the verge of relapse from drug and alcohol problems last Saturday before the team decided to trade or release him. However, when […]
