Travis d'Arnaud Expected To Be Ready For Opening Day

New York Mets general manager Brodie Van Wagenen expects catcher Travis D'Arnaud (elbow) to be ready by Opening Day, which would be 11 and a half months after his Tommy John surgery. d'Arnaud had just 15 at-bats in 2018 before going under the knife. He hit .244/.293/.443 with a career-high 16 home runs and 57 […]

Marwin Gonzalez's Market Is Not Down

"Everyone but one team" is interested in free-agent infielder/outfielder Marwin Gonzalez. Despite a down year in 2018 (.247-16-68), Gonzalez can play all over the diamond and will have his choice of where to sign this winter. The versatile infielder/outfielder hit a career-best .303/.377/.530 with 23 home runs, 90 RBI and eight stolen bases in 2017. […]

Josh Harrison Has Plenty Of Suitors

The Washington Nationals, New York Yankees and Cincinnati Reds are among the teams interested in free-agent infielder Josh Harrison. Harrison had a down year in 2018, hitting .250/.293/.363 with only eight home runs and 37 RBI in 97 games after batting .272 with a career-high 16 home runs in 2017. 2018 was also the first […]

Justin Houston Expected To Return In Week 10

Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Justin Houston (hamstring) is expected to return to action in Week 10 against the Cardinals for the first time in a month. He was practicing with the starters on Thursday in the portion of practice open to the media. It's a big upgrade to the team's pass rush, as Houston has […]

Mohamed Sanu Returns Thursday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Mohamed Sanu (hip) returned to practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. Sanu has been fighting his hip injury for the last couple weeks but hasn't missed a game. As the No. 3 wideout in the pecking order, Sanu will be more of a touchdown-dependent WR4/flex against the Browns in […]

Kelvin Benjamin, Chris Ivory Practicing

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin (knee) took part in a full practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. Running back Chris Ivory (shoulder) was limited on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. Both players should be able to play this Sunday against the Jets. With Buffalo's quarterback still undecided for this weekend, Benjamin […]

Derek Anderson, Charles Clay Still Out

Buffalo Bills quarterback Derek Anderson (concussion) and tight end Charles Clay (hamstring) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Anderson still hasn't passed the league's concussion protocol, putting his status this weekend against the Jets in doubt. There's a possibility that rookie Josh Allen (elbow) could return if Anderson isn't cleared. The last […]

Quincy Enunwa Misses Another Practice Thursday

New York Jets wide receiver Quincy Enunwa (ankle) missed his second straight practice on Thursday. Enunwa returned from his high ankle sprain to catch three of four targets for 40 yards last Sunday, and he didn't seem to suffer any setbacks. The Jets could just be giving him extra rest, but he'll need to get […]

Sam Darnold Officially Ruled Out As Starter

New York Jets head coach Todd Bowles has ruled out rookie quarterback Sam Darnold (foot) as the starter for Week 10 against the Bills. However, the team won't rule him out as the backup to Josh McCown just yet. Darnold has struggled mightily in the last three games, so it gives the Jets a chance […]

Allen Robinson Says He's 100 Percent

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson (groin), who has missed the last two games, called himself 100 percent on Thursday. Robinson returned to a full practice on Wednesday, signaling that he should be ready to play in Week 10 against the Lions. A-Rob will likely see coverage from Detroit cornerback Darius Slay. The 25-year-old has […]

Mike Evans Returns To Practice Thursday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (knee) returned to practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. The Buccaneers were just resting him ahead of Week 10 against the Redskins. Evans caught just one of his 10 targets last week in his worst game of the season by far. Expect him to bounce back […]

Chris Thompson Remains Absent

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson (ribs) remains out of practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Thompson appears poised to miss his second straight game. He just hasn't been healthy this year and has been a non-factor in the team's putrid passing attack in 2018. Kapri Bibbs should once again fill in as […]

Jimmy Graham Returns To Practice

Green Bay Packers tight end Jimmy Graham (knee) returned to practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. Graham was just being rested on Wednesday. He will play in Week 10 against the Dolphins and will be a midrange TE1. He has caught just two touchdowns on the season, but that number should rise significantly […]

Sammy Watkins, Eric Berry Out Thursday

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins (foot) and safety Eric Berry (heel) are both out of practice for the second straight day on Thursday. It's not a good sign for Watkins' status for Week 10 against the Cardinals, and he appears on the wrong side of questionable for now. If Watkins is inactive this […]

Rex Burkhead Back At Practice

New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead (neck) returned to practice on Thursday and is now eligible to come off the Injured Reserve and play on Dec. 2 against the Vikings. That would be in Week 13, a week before the traditional fantasy playoffs begin. While it's unclear if Burkhead will actually be back by […]

Cardinals Not Planning To Pursue Bryce Harper

The St. Louis Cardinals are not interested in signing free-agent outfielder Bryce Harper to a deal well in excess of $300 million this winter, according to major league sources. While we can't rule out that they will eventually jump into the mix for the superstar, the Cardinals are currently more focused on a corner infielder […]

Pirates Re-Sign Jung Ho Kang

The Pittsburgh Pirates re-signed infielder Jung Ho Kang to a one-year, $3 million deal on Thursday. Kang got six at-bats in the big leagues in 2018 but missed all of the 2017 season due to his third DUI in his native South Korea. If his problems are past him, Kang could be a real sleeper […]

Mariners Acquire Mallex Smith, Jake Fraley

The Seattle Mariners acquired outfielder Mallex Smith and minor league outfielder Jake Fraley from the Rays on Thursday in exchange for catcher Mike Zunino, outfielder Guillermo Heredia and minor league pitcher Michael Plassmeyer. This may not be the first trade the M's pull off this winter as they look to rebuild. Smith had the best […]

Rays Acquire Mike Zunino, Guillermo Heredia

The Tampa Bay Rays acquired catcher Mike Zunino, outfielder Guillermo Heredia and minor league pitcher Michael Plassmeyer from the Mariners on Thursday in exchange for outfielder Mallex Smith and minor league outfielder Jake Fraley. Zunino will become the team's starting catcher after hitting .201/.259/.410 with 20 home runs and 44 RBI in 373 at-bats for […]

Darren Sproles Aggravates Hamstring

Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles (hamstring), who was expected to return in Week 10 against the Cowboys after being sidelined since the season opener, aggravated his hamstring in practice and is now expected to be out this weekend, according to sources. The 35-year-old just hasn't been able to stay healthy the last two years […]

Cameron Meredith Placed On Injured Reserve

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Cameron Meredith (knee) will be placed on Injured Reserve and will undergo arthroscopic surgery on his knee, according to head coach Sean Payton. Meredith will have a "clean-up" surgery on the knee because he had been fighting through swelling each week. Payton said the wideout is expected to make a […]

Robby Anderson Missing Practice Again Thursday

New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson (ankle) is missing practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Anderson missed two practices last week before suiting up on Sunday, so the hope is that will happen again this week. Anderson showed more chemistry with quarterback Josh McCown -- who will start this Sunday -- last […]

Twins Interested In J.A. Happ

The Minnesota Twins are interested in free-agent starting pitcher J.A. Happ, according to a source. The veteran left-hander accumulated 17 wins in 2018 and had a nice 3.65 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 193 strikeouts in 177 2/3 innings over 31 starts. He was even better in the second half after he was traded from the […]

Rays Close To Acquiring Mike Zunino, Guillermo Heredia

The Tampa Bay Rays and Seattle Mariners are working on a possible deal on Wednesday that would send Mariners catcher Mike Zunino and outfielder Guillermo Heredia to Tampa in exchange for outfielder Mallex Smith and possibly a minor league prospect, according to multiple major league baseball sources. The teams are trying to finalize the trade […]

Jeff McNeil Penciled In As Starting Second Baseman

New York Mets infielder Jeff McNeil is "penciled" in as the team's starting second baseman heading into next year, according to general manager Brodie Van Wagenen. McNeil burst onto the scene this year after being a relative unknown in their prospect ranks, but all he did was hit. The 26-year-old hit an impressive .329/.381/.471 with […]

Dodgers Exercise Dave Roberts' Option

The Los Angeles Dodgers exercised manager Dave Roberts' option for the 2019 season on Wednesday, according to president Andrew Friedman. However, the team still expects to sign Roberts to a long-term deal soon. The option buys the team more time to negotiate with Roberts on an extension. Roberts has led the Dodgers to three straight […]

Doug Martin Finds Himself On Injury Report

Oakland Raiders running back Doug Martin (hip) is on the injury report for Week 10 and got in a limited practice on Wednesday. Martin was dinged up last Thursday but played the entire game and should be good to go in Week 10 against the Chargers. The 29-year-old has seen double-digit carries in the two […]

Gary Sanchez Undergoing Shoulder Procedure

New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said that catcher Gary Sanchez (shoulder) is having surgery on his left shoulder. The shoulder has been bothering Sanchez since 2017. The 25-year-old was one of the first catchers off the board in fantasy drafts this year, but he didn't live up to his lofty price. He played […]

Doug Baldwin Sits Out Wednesday

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin (groin) sat out of practice on Wednesday with a groin injury, which is a new injury for him after he's dealt with knee issues most of the year. It's not what his fantasy owners want to see, but we'll have to wait and see what he does in practice […]

Matt Holliday Intends To Play In 2019

Free-agent outfielder Matt Holliday has intentions of playing in 2019. Holliday will be 39 heading into next season and will be more attractive to American League teams in a designated hitter role. In just 53 at-bats over 25 games for the Rockies in 2018, he hit .283/.415/.434 with two home runs and three RBI. Holliday […]
