Bruce Ellington Placed On Injured Reserve

The Houston Texans placed wide receiver Bruce Ellington (hamstring) and linebacker Dylan Cole (wrist) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday. It's unclear if Ellington will be able to return this year, but he'll need to miss at least the next eight weeks. His absence will mean a bigger role in the offense for rookie Keke Coutee […]

Didi Gregorius To Take Grounders Tuesday

New York Yankees shortstop Didi Gregorius (wrist) will take ground balls on the field on Tuesday, but he won't throw. He said his wrist feels "great." Gregorius damaged ligaments in his wrist while sliding over the weekend, but he says he'll be able to return before the end of the season. He's been one of […]

Chris Conte Put On IR

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers placed safety Chris Conte (knee) on the Injured Reserve on Tuesday. Conte was embarrassed on Monday night when Steelers tight end Vance McDonald stiff-armed him to the ground on his way to a 70-yard touchdown scamper. Conte wasn't very good to begin with, but it's another loss to an already very […]

Carlos Correa Ready To Play Wednesday

Houston Astros shortstop Carlos Correa (back) took 30 to 40 swings on Tuesday and said he feels ready to play on Wednesday. He could be the designated hitter in his first game in over a week.

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring) continues to take things day-to-day ahead of the game against the Rams on Thursday night.

Aaron Sanchez Undergoes Surgery

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Aaron Sanchez (finger) underwent surgery on his finger on Tuesday. He's expected to be ready for spring training next year.

Lourdes Gurriel Being Shut Down

Toronto Blue Jays infielder Lourdes Gurriel (hamstring) is out for the remainder of the season after injuring his hamstring on Monday. With the regular season ending on Sunday, it didn't make any sense for the Blue Jays to take any chances with the rookie. He displayed flashes of his potential at times this year, but […]

Mets Expected To Retain Mickey Callaway

New York Mets assistant general manager John Ricco said he anticipates the team keeping manager Mickey Callaway for the 2019 season.

Panthers Acquire Marshall Newhouse

The Carolina Panthers are acquiring offensive tackle Marshall Newhouse from the Bills on Tuesday, according to a source. It's unknown what the Panthers are giving to the Bills in return.

Kaelin Clay Waived Tuesday

Gabriel Moya To Serve As Opener Tuesday

Minnesota Twins pitcher Gabriel Moya will be the opener against the Tigers, with Kohl Stewart following him. Moya has become a popular opener for the Twins of late, but he still holds a 4.86 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 30 strikeouts in 33 1/3 innings over 32 outings (four starts). You can avoid the left-hander for […]

Reds Interviewing Managers

The Cincinnati Reds will interview former Red Sox skipper John Farrell for the permanent job. They've already interviewed Pat Kelly, Billy Hatcher and Freddie Benevidas.

Hunter Harvey Receives Good News

Baltimore Orioles pitching prospect Hunter Harvey (elbow) received good news when a follow-up appointment revealed no structural damage in his right elbow, according to multiple industry sources.

Giants Add Garrett Dickerson To Active Roster

The New York Giants are signing tight end Garrett Dickerson from the practice squad to the active roster, according to a source. This makes sense with Evan Engram (knee) expected to miss at least a week with a sprained MCL in his knee. Rhett Ellison replaced Engram in Week 3 and even caught a touchdown, […]

Titans Signing Austin Davis

The Tennessee Titans are signing free-agent quarterback Austin Davis on Tuesday, according to a source. It gives the team some veteran insurance with Blaine Gabbert in the concussion protocol and Marcus Mariota still nursing an elbow injury. Davis spent last season with Seattle but didn't attempt a pass. He hasn't attempted a pass in the […]

Jake Faria Starting Tuesday

Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Jake Faria will make the start against the Yankees on Tuesday. He will only likely go a few innings, with Jalen Beeks likely to pitch as well. Faria hasn't started a game since Aug. 15, so it would make sense that he won't last long in this game. The right-hander has […]

Charges Against Roberto Osuna Withdrawn

Domestic-assault charges against Houston Astros closer Roberto Osuna were withdrawn on Tuesday, and he's entered into a peace bond for one year. He cannot contact the alleged victim for one year.

Titans, 49ers Inquire About Matt Moore

The Tennessee Titans and San Francisco 49ers have inquired about free-agent quarterback Matt Moore. Moore has turned down the Titans. The Titans are looking for QB depth after Blaine Gabbert suffered a concussion in Week 3. San Fran also needs depth with Jimmy Garoppolo (knee) out for the rest of the season. Moore spent the […]

Dalvin Cook Has A Chance To Play

Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer said running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring) has a "possibility" of playing on Thursday night against the Rams. Cook is looking truly questionable for this one after sitting out in Week 3, and he could even be a game-time decision. In a tough matchup against the Rams, Cook will be […]

Todd Bowles To Take Back Some Play-Calling Duties

New York Jets head coach Todd Bowles will take back some of the play-calling duties from defensive coordinator Kacy Rodgers heading into Week 4.

David Wright Activated From DL

The New York Mets activated third baseman David Wright (shoulder) from the 60-day disabled list on Tuesday. Wright will play in his final game this Saturday against the Marlins. The once-promising third baseman had his career derailed by a number of serious injuries and hasn't played in a big league game since May of 2016. […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick Likely To Keep Starting Job

All indications seem to be that Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick will keep the starting job despite Jameis Winston returning from his three-game suspension heading into Week 4. Fitzpatrick had his worst game of the season in Monday night's loss to the Steelers, but he still went 30-for-50 for 411 yards with three touchdowns […]

Everson Griffen Unlikely To Play Thursday

Minnesota Vikings defensive end Everson Griffen is unlikely to play this Thursday night against the Rams as he battles a serious mental-health related issue. He is currently undergoing evaluation at a local hospital, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. There is no timetable for Griffen to be back with the team, so this is a […]

Eric Chavez The Favorite To Become Next Angels Manager

Former All-Star third baseman Eric Chavez, who is currently a special assistant to the general manager for the Los Angeles Angels, has emerged as the favorite to become the next manager if current skipper Mike Scioscia steps down at the end of the season, as is expected. They'd be big shoes to fill, as Scioscia […]

Jerad Eickhoff Might Make A Start This Week

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Jerad Eickhoff, who missed most of the season with a lat strain and nerve issue in his right hand, could make a start in the final week of the season. He returned to the team earlier this month and has been pitching in relief. Manager Gabe Kapler said Eickhoff could "potentially" […]

Jeremy Jeffress Unavailable Monday

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Jeremy Jeffress (neck) was unavailable to pitch on Monday due to neck spasms. In his absence, Corey Knebel closed out the win and earned the save in a big game against the division-rival Cardinals. Jeffress has been fantastic this year, going 8-1 with a 1.35 ERA, 1.02 WHIP, 12 saves and […]

Christian Walker Suffers Facial Contusion

Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Christian Walker (face) suffered a facial contusion when he was hit by a pitch on Monday.

Walker's season line drops to .163/.226/.388 with three homers and six RBI […]

Aaron Altherr Could Have Concussion

In addition to a right big toe sprain and bruised right knee from crashing into the outfield wall on Monday, Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Aaron Altherr could also have a concussion. With the regular season finale this Sunday, Altherr will almost certainly be shut down now. He had a massively disappointing season while hitting under .200 […]

Zach Eflin To Have Side Examined

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Zach Eflin (side) will head back to Philadelphia for an exam on his "left side." Eflin has been dealing with the injury for roughly two weeks and is likely done for the remainder of the season. The right-hander allowed five hits and five earned runs in just 2 2/3 innings on […]
