Yankees Interested In Re-Signing J.A. Happ

The New York Yankees have expressed interest in re-signing starting pitcher J.A. Happ, according to general manager Brian Cashman.

Sean Lee Injured Monday

Dallas Cowboys linebacker Sean Lee (hamstring) aggravated his hamstring injury in the third quarter and is questionable to return on Monday night against the Titans. It's a recurring injury for Lee and one that kept him out for multiple games already this year. Lee seems to be constantly injured but is a tackling machine when […]

Jose Reyes Plans To Play In 2019

Free-agent infielder Jose Reyes plans to play in 2019. Reyes will turn 36 next June and hit a pathetic .189/.260/.320 with four home runs, 16 RBI and five stolen bases for the Mets in 228 at-bats. He'll likely have to settle for a minor league deal as a utility player somewhere and is no longer […]

Andrew Miller Is Healthy

Free-agent relief pitcher Andrew Miller's agent, Mark Rodgers, said that his client is fully healthy heading into the offseason after landing on the disabled list three different times in 2018 with knee, hamstring and shoulder injuries. “Altcheck saw absolutely nothing that would keep him from being the old Andrew Miller,” Rodgers said Monday at the […]

Lance McCullers Jr. Could Need Surgery

Houston Astros general manager Jeff Luhnow acknowledged the possibility that starting pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. (elbow) could need surgery on his right elbow that would keep him from pitching in 2019. Luhnow said that McCullers "has been seen by some doctors and I think we're going to know more shortly." UCL damage would mean that […]

Saints To Work Out Dez Bryant

The New Orleans Saints will bring in three free-agent wide receivers for a workout on Tuesday, with Dez Bryant being one of them, according to sources. Bryant discussed a contract earlier this year with the Browns, but they couldn't work anything out. The Saints placed Ted Ginn on Injured Reserve a week ago and haven't […]

Cubs Won't Discuss Extension For Joe Maddon

Chicago Cubs president Theo Epstein said he has informed manager Joe Maddon that the team will not discuss a contract extension this winter and will re-evaluate the situation later in the 2019 season. Maddon will be a lame-duck manager next season, and there have been whispers that Maddon's relationship with the front office is strained. […]

Peter Alonso Will Compete For First Base Job

New York Mets general manager Brady Van Wagenen said that first base prospect Peter Alonso will be in big league camp in spring training with a chance to win the first base job. Van Wagenen said "he has a shot to be an impact player." Alonso raised eyebrows at Double-A Binghamton and Triple-A Las Vegas […]

Brett Gardner Could Be Starting Left Fielder

New York Yankees outfielder Brett Gardner "has a chance to be" the team's full-time left fielder in 2019, but "no promises have been made," according to general manager Brian Cashman. The Yanks declined Gardner's 2019 option but re-signed him to a modest one-year deal. The 35-year-old hit .236/.322/.368 with only 12 home runs, 45 RBI […]

Shohei Ohtani On Schedule After Surgery

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher/designated hitter Shohei Ohtani (elbow) is progressing on schedule after having Tommy John surgery, and he is almost fully able to extend his right elbow. General manager Billy Eppler said there won't be a more clear timeline for Ohtani's return until January. All we know is that Ohtani won't be able […]

Sam Bradford Has Bone-On-Bone Knee Issue

Free-agent quarterback Sam Bradford (knee), who was released by the Cardinals over the weekend, hadn't practiced in the previous five weeks because his left knee is basically bone-on-bone. He has no cartilage remaining in his knee that had two ACL repairs. The injury-prone former first overall pick by the Rams has played only two full […]

Chris Carson Not Expected To Practice Much This Week

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson (hip) isn't expected to do much in practice this week after injuring himself in the Week 9 loss to the Chargers. Head coach Pete Carroll isn't sure if Carson will be available in Week 10 against the Rams. Carson was a game-time decision on Sunday and didn't make it […]

Geoff Swaim Inactive Monday Night

Dallas Cowboys tight end Geoff Swaim (knee) is inactive on Monday night against the Titans. Swaim is dealing with a sprained MCL and was doubtful coming into this one. He might not even be available to play in Week 10. In his absence, the Cowboys expect to rotate Blake Jarwin, Rico Gathers and rookie Dalton […]

Reds Will Consider Top Of Market For Starting Pitching

The Cincinnati Reds finally have some money to spend this winter after sitting out of free agency for a couple of years. They will consider top-of-the-market free agents like Patrick Corbin and Dallas Keuchel and could consider re-signing Matt Harvey. The Reds appear willing to throw money around to help them get closer to contention. […]

Geronimo Allison May Need Surgery

Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy said that wide receiver Geronimo Allison (groin) saw a core specialist in Philadelphia and is dealing with a significant injury that could require surgery. Dr. William Meyer operated on defensive backs Damarious Randall and Quinten Rollins in recent years. A procedure would likely keep Allison out for the […]

Sonny Gray Attracting Trade Interest

New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said that he has "a lot of teams" interested in starting pitcher Sonny Gray. The right-hander really struggled in his first full season with the Bronx Bombers, getting booted from the rotation in the second half while posting a 4.90 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 8.5 K/9 over 30 […]

Bryan Bulaga Should Be Fine

Green Bay Packers right tackle Bryan Bulaga (knee), who left the Monday night game early against the Patriots, is going to be fine, according to a source. Bulaga doesn't have structural damage in his knee and could even play in Week 10 against the Dolphins. That's good news for quarterback Aaron Rodgers and the team's […]

Charles Clay Week-To-Week

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that tight end Charles Clay (hamstring) is week-to-week. Clay hasn't helped fantasy owners at all this year, catching 19 passes on 31 targets for just 169 scoreless yards through nine weeks. Former quarterback Logan Thomas benefitted with a season-high seven catches on eight targets for 40 yards in […]

Derek Anderson To Start In Week 10 With Clearance

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that quarterback Derek Anderson (concussion) will start in Week 10 against the Jets if rookie Josh Allen (elbow) cannot play and if Anderson is cleared from the concussion protocol. A concussed Anderson is still probably better than Peterman, who threw three more interceptions (including another pick-six) in his […]

CC Sabathia, Yankees Showing Mutual Interest

New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said he thinks free-agent starting pitcher CC Sabathia would like to stay in New York, and the Yankees are interested in re-signing him. It makes a lot of sense for Sabathia to stay where he's spent the last 10 years of his career. The veteran left-hander was quite […]

Chris Johnson Announces Retirement

Free-agent running back Chris Johnson announced his retirement from football on his Instagram page on Monday. The 33-year-old was holding out hope to land with a team this year, but it never happened. Johnson earned the nickname CJ2K after rushing for 2,006 yards on the ground with the Titans in 2009, his second year in […]

Kenneth Dixon Not Cleared By League

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said that running back Kenneth Dixon (knee), who has been on Injured Reserve all year, is "having issues behind our coach's control." The Ravens must wait for the league to clear Dixon to practice, and that has not happened yet. It doesn't sound like Dixon is going to return […]

Ravens Sticking With Joe Flacco

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said the team will stick with quarterback Joe Flacco under center when asked if he would consider starting rookie Lamar Jackson coming out of their Week 10 bye. "Joe’s played well, so I don’t want to get into all of that. We’re rolling right now with what we got. […]

A.J. Green To Miss At Least Two Games

Updating a previous report, Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green (foot) will not need foot surgery but is expected to miss at least two games before doctors evaluate his injury to determine when he can play again, according to a source. It's a blow to the Bengals offense and Green's fantasy owners, but hopefully he'll […]

Keke Coutee Won't Return Until He's 100 Percent

Houston Texans rookie wide receiver Keke Coutee (hamstring), who has missed the last two games after aggravating his hamstring, said he will not return to action this time around unless he's 100 percent healthy. "Until I'm 100 percent, I won't be back out there," said Coutee, who has 21 catches for 196 yards and one […]

Texans Unsure When D'Onta Foreman Will Return

Houston Texans head coach Bill O'Brien said that running back D'Onta Foreman (Achilles) is "trending upwards" but isn't sure if the team is ready to activate him from the Physically Unable to Perform list yet. The Texans are on bye in Week 10, so they may wait to have him resume practicing in Week 11. […]

Leonard Fournette Going Through Drills Monday

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) went through individual drills on Monday for the first time since aggravating his hamstring in Week 4. Tight end James O'Shaughnessy (hip) was also getting some work in. It's believed that Fournette will return in Week 10 to face the Colts, but it's not completely official. The fact […]

Paul Richardson, Two Offensive Linemen Out For The Season

Washington Redskins head coach Jay Gruden said that wide receiver Paul Richardson (knee), and offensive guards Brandon Scherff (pectoral) and Shawn Lauvao (knee) will all need surgery and will miss the rest of the season. It's a huge blow to a mediocre offense that definitely couldn't afford it. Left tackle Trent Williams (thumb) is also […]

A.J. Green Won't Need Surgery

Cincinnati Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis said that wide receiver A.J. Green (foot) will not need surgery this year. However, there remains no timetable for when Green might return, and he's looking doubtful to face the Saints in Week 10 coming off the bye. The good news is that Cincy's bye week came in Week […]

Steelers Haven't Had Contact From Le'Veon Bell This Week

The Pittsburgh Steelers haven't had contact with running back Le'Veon Bell this week. Barring a new development in the next few days, the team isn't expecting Bell to report for the game Thursday night against the Panthers. If Bell doesn't report by Nov. 13 ahead of Week 11, he cannot play the rest of the […]
