Cubs Expected To Keep Addison Russell

The Chicago Cubs are likely to tender shortstop Addison Russell a contract on Friday despite his lingering off-field issues. He will still need to serve 29 days of his domestic-violence suspension to start the 2019 season and will not be paid until after May 3. 2018 was a disaster of a season for the 24-year-old, […]

White Sox Acquire Alex Colome From Mariners

The Chicago White Sox acquired relief pitcher Alex Colome from the Seattle Mariners on Friday in exchange for catcher Omar Narvaez. Colome started 2018 with the Rays and recorded 11 saves before being traded to Seattle. He finished with a 3.04 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, 12 saves and 72 K's in 68 innings. He'll presumably become […]

Stefon Diggs, Xavier Rhodes Questionable

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs (knee) and cornerback Xavier Rhodes (hamstring) are both listed as questionable for Week 13 against the Patriots. Diggs said on Thursday that he would play on Sunday afternoon, and he's on track to play after practicing on Friday. As of now, keep him locked into your lineups as a […]

Deion Jones Won't Be On Snap Count

Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn said that linebacker Deion Jones (foot) won't be on a specialized snap count in his return to action in Week 13 against the Ravens. Jones will be making his first start since being injured in the season opener. He had 100-plus tackles in each of his first two seasons […]

Mo Alie-Cox Ruled Out For Week 13

Indianapolis Colts tight end Mo Alie-Cox (calf) has been ruled out for Week 13 against the Jaguars. Eric Ebron, who has 11 touchdowns this season, will be the primary tight end, with Erik Swoope backing him up now that Jack Doyle's season is over. Alie-Cox also sat out in the Week 12 win over the […]

Marlon Mack Questionable Against Jaguars

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack (concussion) is listed as questionable for Week 13 against the Jaguars and has one more step to go to be cleared from the league's concussion protocol. He'll need clearance from an independent neurologist. The good news is he practiced in full on Thursday, and we expect him to suit […]

Devin Funchess Questionable For Week 13

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Devin Funchess (back) got in a full practice on Friday but is questionable for Week 13 against the Buccaneers. The full practice suggests he'll be able to suit up, but you'll need to double check Sunday morning. In an excellent matchup against Tampa's soft secondary, Funchess might be worth a look […]

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' […]
