Ryan Zimmerman Hopes To Play Friday

Washington Nationals first baseman Ryan Zimmerman (back) left the game early on Wednesday with a tight back, but he's hoping to play on Friday. Zimmerman had a run scored and a walk in his lone plate appearance on Wednesday before departing. While the veteran still has a bit of power in his lumber (13 home […]

Matt Duffy Injured Wednesday

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Matt Duffy (quadriceps) left the game early on Wednesday with right quadriceps tightness. He is considered day-to-day. Duffy had a walk and a run scored in one plate appearance on Wednesday before leaving. He should be able to make a return for the final weekend of the season. Although he lacks […]

Chris Carson, Bobby Wagner Limited Wednesday

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson (hip) and linebacker Bobby Wagner (groin) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Both players should be able to play in Week 3 against the Cardinals, barring setbacks this week. Carson out-touched rookie Rashaad Penny 34-3 in the backfield last week and is once again the unquestioned lead back, […]

Earl Thomas, K.J. Wright Not At Practice

Seattle Seahawks free safety Earl Thomas (non-injury), linebacker K.J. Wright (knee) and running back C.J. Prosise (abdomen) did not practice on Wednesday. Thomas continues to be disgruntled about his contract situation, but no trade appears to be imminent. Despite his unhappiness, he had two interceptions in Week 3 and continues to play at a high […]

Jermaine Gresham, Sam Bradford Limited

Arizona Cardinals tight end Jermaine Gresham (Achilles), quarterback Sam Bradford (pectoral) and wide receiver Chad Williams (illness) were all limited in practice on Wednesday. Gresham made his season debut last weekend and had only one catch on two targets for nine yards. He should continue splitting repetitions with Ricky Seals-Jones, but Gresham isn't much of […]

Larry Fitzgerald Misses Practice Wednesday

Updating a previous report, Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. Right tackle Andrew Smith (elbow) also missed practice. Fitzgerald's injury is not deemed serious, and the Cardinals were likely holding him out as a precaution. He should be able to suit up in Week 4 against the Cardinals. The […]

Kohl Stewart Shut Down For The Year

Minnesota Twins pitcher Kohl Stewart will be shut down for the year after throwing a combined 145 1/3 innings this year. Stewart had just 82 innings thrown in 2017. The 23-year-old performed well in his first big league action, going 2-1 with a 3.68 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 5.9 K/9 over eight outings (four starts). […]

Jack Conklin Hopes To Return This Sunday

Tennessee Titans right tackle Jack Conklin (knee) got in a full practice on Wednesday and is hoping to make his season debut in Week 4 against the Eagles. The All-Pro tore his ACL in the playoff loss to the Patriots in January and hasn't played in a game since. Unless Conklin suffers a setback in […]

Marshawn Lynch Limited Wednesday Ahead Of Week 4

Oakland Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch (shoulder) was limited on Wednesday in practice. This is pretty much standard procedure for Lynch at this point, so you should fully expect him to play this Sunday against the Browns. Cleveland's defense is on the rise in 2018, but Lynch has also scored in three straight weeks to […]

Travis Benjamin Gets In Limited Practice

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Travis Benjamin (foot) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Benjamin has been close to playing each of the last two weeks, but he wound up being inactive both times. With second-year wideout Mike Williams scoring two times last week and essentially becoming the No. 2 behind Keenan Allen, Benjamin won't […]

Keenan Allen Does Not Practice Wednesday

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (knee) did not practice on Wednesday. There's nothing to convince us that this is a serious injury, but we'll have to keep an eye on Allen's practice status the rest of the week. If Allen does play as we would expect, he'll be a strong WR1 choice against […]

Marcus Peters Questionable, Mark Barron Doubtful

Los Angeles Rams cornerback Marcus Peters (calf) was limited in practice on Wednesday and is questionable for Thursday night's game against the Vikings. Linebacker Mark Barron (ankle) was limited on Wednesday but his doubtful to make his season debut. We'd be pretty surprised if Peters plays on a short week after his injury was initially […]

Dalvin Cook Questionable For Thursday Night

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Thursday night's game against the Rams. Cook will likely come down to a game-time decision, but as of now things don't look good. On a short week, the Vikings will likely play it cautiously with their second-year back. Even if Cook is active, […]

Trevor Rosenthal To Hold Showcase Next Month

Free-agent relief pitcher Trevor Rosenthal (elbow) announced on Twitter that he will hold a workout for interested teams on Wednesday, Oct. 3, in Irvine, Calif. Rosenthal had a 3.40 ERA, 1.19 WHIP, career-high 14.3 K/9 and 11 saves for the Cardinals last year before he needed Tommy John surgery in August. If he's fully healthy, […]

Kris Bryant Receives Good News

Chicago Cubs manager Joe Maddon said that third baseman Kris Bryant (wrist) is sore after being hit by a pitch on Tuesday, but his wrist isn't as swollen as the team thought. Bryant is out on Wednesday and could miss another game or two, but he should be able to return this weekend and into […]

Dansby Swanson Has Partially Torn Ligament

Atlanta Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson (hand) has been diagnosed with a partially torn ligament in his left hand. He will undergo treatment in Atlanta for the rest of the week and then be re-evaluated next week before the start of the playoffs. Swanson injured himself on a swing in the game Tuesday. There's a chance […]

Sal Romano Could Start Sunday

Cincinnati Reds pitcher Sal Romano could start on Sunday against the Pirates in the regular season finale if he's not used in relief on Friday. Romano had a few decent starts here and there in 2018, but he was too erratic mostly for those to rely on him in mixed leagues. The right-hander is 8-11 […]

Wilmer Flores' Injury Not Serious

New York Mets manager Mickey Callaway said infielder Wilmer Flores (knees) has "some arthritis buildup" in his knees. The injury isn't believed to be serious and wouldn't have kept Flores out for more than 10 days if it weren't the end of the regular season. Even on a bad team, Flores didn't see regular playing […]

Jerad Eickhoff Lined Up To Start Friday

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Jerad Eickhoff is lined up to start against the Braves on Friday in place of Zach Eflin (oblique), who is done for the year with a strained oblique, according to manager Gabe Kapler. Eickhoff has pitched two innings this month but missed the rest of the season due to an injury. […]

Ji-Man Choi Should Be Available Thursday

Tampa Bay Rays manager Kevin Cash said first baseman Ji-Man Choi (head) doesn't have a concussion on Wednesday, although he's sore from a collision at home plate on Tuesday. The Rays will try to stay away from him on Wednesday, but he should be available on Thursday. Choi also needed stitches on his ear. The […]

Tyler Anderson Playing Catch Wednesday

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Tyler Anderson (shoulder), who was scratched from his start on Monday, said he felt good and was seen playing catch on Wednesday. Anderson's injury doesn't appear to be too serious, which could set him up to make one final start of the regular season this weekend against the Nationals. The left-hander […]

Aaron Hicks Expects To Play Friday

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks (hamstring) hit in the cages and ran on a treadmill on Wednesday and said he feels "great." Hicks expects to return to the starting lineup on Friday. The star outfielder has been beat up since last weekend but should return this weekend and be available for the wild-card game […]

Jose Abreu Won't Play Again This Year

Chicago White Sox general manager Rick Hahn said first baseman Jose Abreu (thigh) is done for the rest of the season. Abreu had a rough second half after needing surgery for testicular torsion and then going to the hospital with a severe infection in his thigh. Overall, the slugging Cuban hit .265/.325/.473 with 22 home […]

Joey Bosa To Be Out Until At Least Week 9

Los Angeles Chargers defensive end Joey Bosa (foot) said that he will likely be out at least until the team's bye week, which is in Week 8. He had his cast removed this week and is now in a protective boot, but there remains instability in the tendon of his bruised left foot. Bosa's absence […]

Patriots Working Out Jeremy Kerley

The New England Patriots are working out free-agent wide receiver Jeremy Kerley on Wednesday, according to a source. Even with Julian Edelman due back next week and after trading for Josh Gordon last week, the Patriots are in need of more receiver depth. Kerley was released by the Bills a few weeks ago and is […]

Ryan Succop Dealing With Knee Tendinitis

Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel said that kicker Ryan Succop (knee) is dealing with knee tendinitis. Succop may be forced to sit out of Week 4 against the Eagles as a result. If you own Succop in fantasy, you should start looking for other options this weekend.

Rishard Matthews Out For Personal Reasons

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Rishard Matthews missed practice on Wednesday due to a personal reason, according to head coach Mike Vrabel. Matthews has just three catches on six targets for 11 yards in three weeks and has been an afterthought in this offense to begin the year. That could change over time, but Matthews is […]

Ito Smith A Limited Practice Participant

Atlanta Falcons running back Ito Smith (ribs) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Smith should be able to suit up this Sunday against the Bengals, and he should once again have a role behind Tevin Coleman with Devonta Freeman (knee) expected to miss another game. Smith didn't do anything on the ground last week but […]

Anthony Miller, Prince Amukamara Not Practicing

Chicago Bears wide receiver Anthony Miller (shoulder) and cornerback Prince Amukamara (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. Miller appeared to dislocate his shoulder late in the Week 3 win over the Cardinals, so his status is certainly in question for this weekend against the Buccaneers. Allen Robinson and Taylor Gabriel would see their roles increase […]

Ted Ginn, Cameron Meredith Limited Wednesday

New Orleans Saints wide receivers Ted Ginn (knee) and Cameron Meredith (knee) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Ginn and Meredith should both have good chances of suiting up in Week 4 against the Giants. Anyone in New Orleans' high-flying attack is on the fantasy radar. Ginn has been the team's No. 2 wideout […]
