Xander Bogaerts Injured Sunday Night

Boston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts (shoulder) left the game early on Sunday night after injuring his left shoulder on a swing. Bogaerts had a single and two walks in three plate appearances before departing the game. This could be concerning for a Boston team looking for another World Series ring this year. Expect Boston […]

Daniel Mengden To Start Monday

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Daniel Mengden will get the start on Monday against the Mariners, which will push Brett Anderson and Edwin Jackson each back a day. Mengden hasn't been terrible this year, but he hasn't started a game for the A's since June 23, so he'll be extra risky for those in AL-only leagues […]

Cardinals Not Committing To QB Heading Into Next Week

Arizona Cardinals head coach Steve Wilks said he will watch tape on quarterbacks Sam Bradford and Josh Rosen before he determines a starter for next week against the Seahawks. Bradford had three more turnovers and was benched late in the fourth quarter with the game on the line in favor of the rookie. It was […]

Marvin Jones, Darius Slay Playing Sunday Night

Detroit Lions wide receiver Marvin Jones (ankle) and cornerback Darius Slay (concussion) are both active in Week 3 against the Patriots on Sunday night. Jones is a WR4/flex option in PPR formats in what could be a high-scoring affair. Slay's presence in the secondary is good news for a Lions secondary trying to slow Tom […]

Josh Gordon Inactive Sunday Night

New England Patriots wide receiver Josh Gordon (hamstring) is inactive for Week 3 against the Lions on Sunday night. Gordon's hamstring isn't believed to be that serious, so he should be able to make his debut with the team next week. The bigger issue is Gordon's ability to learn the offense and gain trust with […]

Anthony Miller May Have Suffered Season-Ending Injury

Chicago Bears rookie wide receiver Anthony Miller (shoulder) appeared to dislocate his left shoulder in the Week 3 game against the Cardinals. Miller's injury will likely lead to surgery, which could be season-ending. The rookie wideout had four catches for 35 yards in the game before departing in the second half. It's a disappointing injury […]

Ezekiel Ansah Out Again Sunday Night

Detroit Lions defensive end Ezekiel Ansah (shoulder) is inactive in Week 3 against the Patriots on Sunday night. It's the second straight missed game from Ansah, who is the heart and soul of Detroit's pass rush. It's good news for Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and the rest of the offense. Wide receiver Brandon Powell and […]

Aqib Talib Leaves Game Against Chargers

Los Angeles Rams cornerback Aqib Talib (ankle) left the game early with an ankle injury in the Week 3 game against the Chargers. This is potentially troublesome with fellow cornerback Marcus Peters being ruled out of the game earlier with a potentially serious injury. If the Rams lose both of their lockdown cornerbacks, they could […]

Steven Souza Jr. Removed From Game Sunday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Steven Souza Jr. (back) was pulled from the game early on Sunday with a lower back spasm. Souza was hitless with a strikeout in two plate appearances to drop his season line to .217/.306/.354 with four homers, 28 RBI and six steals on the year. He has been incredibly cold this month […]

Charlie Morton To Make Another Start This Year

Houston Astros manager A.J. Hinch said that starting pitcher Charlie Morton (shoulder) will make another start this year. Hinch said the team pulled Morton after an inning on Sunday against the Angels as a precaution because his velocity was down. It's good news, but Morton's shoulder injury is something to keep an eye on, as […]

Marcus Peters Suffers Calf Injury Sunday

Los Angeles Rams shutdown cornerback Marcus Peters (calf) suffered a calf injury in Week 3 against the Chargers and will not return to the game, according to a source. Peters' injury looked serious enough that it could keep him out of multiple games beyond Sunday, but we'll have to wait and see what tests show. […]

A.J. Green Doesn't Think Injury Is Serious

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green (groin) doesn't think his injury is serious and should be good to go next week against the Falcons. Green left the game early in Week 3 against the Panthers and never returned. He caught five passes for 58 yards before leaving, so it wasn't a total loss for his […]

Chase Anderson Won't Start Monday

Milwaukee Brewers manager Craig Counsell said starting pitcher Chase Anderson won't make the start against the Cardinals in a big game on Monday. Instead, the team will go with a bullpen game, and Anderson will be available to pitch. Anderson has a 3.06 ERA in four starts this month but has failed to go beyond […]

Evan Engram To Undergo Tests Monday

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram (knee) was walking around with a brace on his right knee after the Week 3 win over the Texans, and he thinks he'll be fine for Week 4 but said it "didn't feel right." Engram will go for more tests on Monday. It'll be a shame if Engram […]

Didi Gregorius' Season In Doubt

New York Yankees shortstop Didi Gregorius (wrist) tore cartilage in his wrist while sliding into home plate on Saturday and might not be able to return the rest of the season, according to manager Aaron Boone. Gregorius sat out on Sunday, but it's unclear if he'll be able to return if the team advances past […]

49ers Fear An ACL Injury For Jimmy Garoppolo

Updating a previous report, the San Francisco 49ers fear that quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (knee) is dealing with an ACL injury after he was carted off in the Week 3 loss to the Chiefs. A torn ACL would be devastating for the Niners and Garoppolo, as it'd end his season. Garoppolo went 20-for-30 for 251 yards […]

Charlie Morton Dealing With Shoulder Discomfort

Houston Astros starting pitcher Charlie Morton (shoulder) left his start early on Sunday with right shoulder discomfort. Morton allowed one earned run on one hit while striking out two in just one inning against the Angels before leaving the contest. It's bad timing for this injury, which landed him on the disabled list earlier this […]

Kevin Kiermaier Day-To-Day

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier (back, shoulder) is being listed as day-to-day by manager Kevin Cash after he banged his back into the outfield wall trying to make a catch on Sunday. Kiermaier was hitless with a strikeout in three plate appearances on Sunday. He should be fine to return sometime in the final […]

Breyvic Valera Injures Finger Sunday

Baltimore Orioles infielder Breyvic Valera (finger) left the game early on Sunday with a bruised left index finger. Valera had a triple and a strikeout in three plate appearances before leaving the game. He's hitting just .234/.301/.266 with no homers and eight RBI in 75 plate appearances for the O's this year. You can keep […]

Alex Cobb Leaves Early Again Sunday

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Alex Cobb (finger) threw just four pitches on Sunday before leaving the game with another blister issue. Cobb continues to be hampered by blister issues this month and will likely be shut down for the rest of the season now. While he was pitching much better in the second half, Cobb […]

Willy Adames Sick Sunday

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Willy Adames (illness) was out of the starting lineup on Sunday due to illness. Adames should be considered day-to-day for now. The rookie infielder is batting a decent .271/.340/.410 with 10 home runs, 31 RBI and six stolen bases in 266 at-bats in 2018. He should enter the 2019 season as […]

James Paxton To Start Monday

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher James Paxton (illness) is lined up to start on Monday against the A's. Paxton has been the team's ace all season, but he hasn't made a start since Sept. 7 due to the flu and pneumonia. With Paxton unlikely to go very long on Monday against a dangerous hitting team, he's […]

Scott Schebler To Move To Left Field Next Year

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Scott Schebler made his first starts in left field this weekend as the club gets ready to shift him there full time in 2019. Outfielder Jesse Winker appears to be more comfortable in right field, so he will play there next season. “The throws are obviously a little easier, which helps me […]

Aaron Hicks Should Be Able To Return Tuesday

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks (ankle) should be ready to return to the starting lineup on Tuesday against the Rays, according to manager Aaron Boone. Hicks fouled a ball off his ankle on Saturday and was rested on Sunday. As long as he's back in there on Tuesday, Hicks should be in all starting […]

Starling Marte Injured Sunday

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Starling Marte (calf) left the game early on Sunday with left calf tightness that flared up when he was running down the first base line in the fourth inning. Marte was hitless in two plate appearances before leaving the game. This is an injury that could cause him to be shut down […]

George Springer Banged Up

Houston Astros outfielder George Springer (leg, thumb) is out of the lineup on Sunday because he's banged up. His leg bothered him on Saturday, and he looked "a little funny," according to manager A.J. Hinch. Springer also aggravated his previously sprained thumb on a swing Saturday night. This could cause Springer to sit out for […]

Trevor Story Still Out Sunday

Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story (elbow) remains out of the starting lineup on Sunday against the Diamondbacks. Garrett Hampson is starting at the 6 and is batting eighth against Arizona starter Zack Godley. Story is making good progress, though, and could return to the lineup as soon as Monday for the final week of the […]

Jose Urena Should Be Fine For Final Start

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Jose Urena (thigh), who dealt with a tight right IT band (the side of his right thigh) in his start on Saturday, said he will be fine to make his final start of the season next Friday against the Mets. Urena was dominant in the outing against the Reds, throwing 5 […]

Felix Hernandez Plans To Start Wednesday

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Felix Hernandez (hamstring) said the plan is for him to make his final start of the year on Wednesday against the A's. Hernandez continues to decline and battle injuries as he ages. He is 8-13 on the year with a 5.46 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and career-low 7.2 K/9 over 28 outings […]

Phillip Lindsay Ejected In Week 3

Denver Broncos rookie running back Phillip Lindsay was ejected in Week 3 against the Ravens for throwing punches during a scrum. Lindsay had four carries for 20 yards and didn't record a catch before leaving. It becomes a frustrating day for his fantasy owners if they started him, but the long-term future looks bright for […]
