Tyler Eifert Says He's Fine

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Tyler Eifert (back), who is on the Physically Unable to Perform list to start training camp, said he's had no setback with his back and is feeling great. “There is no setback,” Eifert said to The Enquirer. “I’m feeling good. This is just the route we chose to take.” He also […]

Ben Roethlisberger Looking Leaner In Camp

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger looks leaner in training camp after making an effort to cut out carbs and sugar while working with a nutritionist in the offseason. Big Ben takes way too many hits and is an injury risk because of it, but he is one of the toughest quarterbacks around. Even though he's […]

Hyun-Jin Ryu Throws Simulated Game Wednesday

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Hyun-Jin Ryu (groin) threw a two-inning simulated game on Wednesday and will throw three innings in a sim game on Saturday in LA. After that, he could be ready for a rehab assignment. The Korean left-hander looks close to a return to the rotation, where he was 3-0 with a […]

Cubs Could Land Cole Hamels Thursday

The Chicago Cubs have a very strong chance of trading for Texas Rangers starting pitcher Cole Hamels, and a deal could even go down as soon as Thursday, according to sources. The Cubs don't have a deep farm system, but the Rangers really just want to get out from Hamels' contract and get some prospects […]

Daniel Murphy Sore Thursday

Washington Nationals second baseman Daniel Murphy was "a bit sore" on Thursday, which is why manager Dave Martinez scratched him from the lineup. Murphy will be available off the bench. Murphy should return to the lineup on Friday. Infielder Wilmer Difo is starting at the keystone and is hitting eighth against Marlins right-hander Dan Straily. […]

Stephen Strasburg's MRI Comes Back Clean

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Stephen Strasburg's (neck) MRI exam came back clean on his shoulder, and he will now visit with a neurologist. Manager Dave Martinez said Strasburg informed the team Wednesday that he wasn't feeling well. It's been one thing after another for Stras this year, as he's made just only 14 starts for […]

Giants Place Brandon Belt On DL, Evan Longoria Activated

The San Francisco Giants placed first baseman Brandon Belt (knee) on the 10-day disabled list on Thursday with a hyperextended knee. Third baseman Evan Longoria (hand) was activated from the DL in a corresponding move. Pitcher Chris Stratton was also recalled from the minors, and infielder Kelby Tomlinson was optioned. The Giants indicated Wednesday that […]

Sandy Alcantara Moving Rehab Assignment

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Sandy Alcantara (arm) will move his rehab assignment to Single-A Jupiter on Saturday and is scheduled to throw 75 pitches. Alcantara made one start in the big leagues this year, allowing one run and three hits over five innings in a win over the Mets on June 29. In two minor […]

Byron Buxton Expected To Come Off Minor League DL Friday

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton (wrist) is expected to be activated from the minor league disabled list on Friday. He'll try to stay healthy and prove he belongs back in the big leagues down the stretch. Buxton has been a bust so far for the Twins and fantasy owners, and he was sent down after […]

Kenyan Drake Opens With Starters Thursday

Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake opened with the starters on Thursday, but both he and Frank Gore looked good. Drake and Gore will be 1 and 1A this year, with the order to be determined. Drake showed at the end of last year that he could be a featured back in the NFL, so […]

Angels Release Ben Revere

The Los Angeles Angels have released outfielder Ben Revere on Thursday. Revere never saw time in the big leagues with the Angels this year and was hitting .277 with three home runs, 18 RBI and two steals over 40 games with Triple-A Salt Lake in 2018. He can provide speed and be a defensive replacement […]

Addison Reed To Start Rehab Assignment Friday

Minnesota Twins relief pitcher Addison Reed (elbow) will start his rehab assignment with Triple-A Rochester on Friday. He's also slated to pitch on Sunday. Reed has struggled in a setup role for the Twins this year and has a bloated 4.83 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 8.1 K/9 in 41 innings. Hopefully the mechanical tweaks he's […]

Jake Lamb Injured Thursday

Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Jake Lamb (shoulder) suffered a left shoulder contusion and was removed from the game early on Thursday. He struck out in his only plate appearance on Thursday and is hitting just .222 with six home runs and 31 RBI on the season as a disappointment for his fantasy owners. It doesn't […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Seeing Work Out Of The Slot

New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. is seeing a lot of work out of the slot so far in training camp. OBJ can be a real matchup nightmare on the inside, which could create even more targets and catches for the elite wide receiver. He'll come off the board in the first round […]

Michael Gallup Showing Red-Zone Abilities

Dallas Cowboys offensive coordinator Scott Linehan praised rookie wide receiver Michael Gallup's red-zone ability and his catch radius. Gallup was a third-round pick and could be the No. 2 target behind Allen Hurns in his rookie season. He recorded 100 receptions and 1,418 yards with seven touchdowns in college last year and has the opportunity […]

Cole Beasley Will Move Around More In 2018

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Cole Beasley will have a chance to expand his route tree this season, and he's expected to line up outside more often. The team has already had Beasley and Tavon Austin on the outside with Allen Hurns in the slot. It speaks to the team's lack of depth at the position […]

Todd Frazier Expected To Begin Rehab Assignment Soon

New York Mets third baseman Todd Frazier (ribs) will likely begin a rehab assignment in the next couple of days, according to manager Mickey Callaway. That means Frazier could possibly return as the everyday third baseman sometime next week, barring any setbacks. Before his injury he was hitting just .217 with 10 home runs, 32 […]

Noah Syndergaard On Track To Return Next Week

New York Mets starting pitcher Noah Syndergaard (illness) is on track to return from the disabled list next week against the Nationals. It looks like Thor will fortunately miss just one start after contracting hand, foot and mouth disease over the All-Star break. He's pitched well with a 2.89 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 83 strikeouts […]

Bills Being Cautious With Zay Jones

Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane said the team is being smart with wide receiver Zay Jones (knee) by holding him out for the start of training camp. Either way, it's not a good sign that Jones won't be practicing right away after disappointing with just 27 catches for 316 yards and two touchdowns in […]

Earl Thomas Will Be Put On Did Not Report List

Seattle Seahawks free safety Earl Thomas will be put on the reserve/did not report list. Thomas will not report to training camp or the regular season until he gets a contract extension, but the Seahawks have no desire to keep him around. A trade is looking like the best solution for this messy holdout, but […]

Josh Allen Working With Third-Team Offense

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said rookie quarterback Josh Allen will pick up where he left off in organized team activities and work with the third-team offense at the start of training camp. Allen has a shot to unseat AJ McCarron as the expected starter for Week 1 of the regular season, but he […]

LeSean McCoy Reports To Training Camp

Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy has reported to training camp. General manager Brandon Beane said they are letting the police investigate McCoy's off-field issues. McCoy was accused of being involved in domestic violence, animal abuse and performance-enhancing drug abuse, but he has denied all allegations and he hasn't been formally charged with anything. It's […]

Frank Clark Had Hand Surgery

Seattle Seahawks defensive end Frank Clark (hand) said he had hand surgery a month ago, which is why he's limited in training camp. Clark had 32 tackles and nine sacks in a full season with Seattle last year after recording a career-high 47 takedowns and 10 sacks in 2016. He's quietly become a force on […]

Francisco Cervelli Back From Concussion DL

The Pittsburgh Pirates have activated catcher Francisco Cervelli (head) from the seven-day concussion disabled list on Thursday, and he is back in the lineup catching and hitting sixth against Mets starter Steven Matz. Cervelli started the year off strong but has really come back down to earth since experiencing concussion problems in June. He's hitting […]

Tavon Austin Being Used Out Wide

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Tavon Austin was lining up out wide on the first day of training camp on Thursday. Offensive coordinator Scott Linehan has made Austin sound like he'll be a key part of the offense this year. He could be given the lack of Dallas' other options in the receiving game now that […]

Texans Taking Cautious Approach With Jadeveon Clowney

Houston Texans linebacker Jadeveon Clowney (knee) worked on the side during full team drills at training camp on Thursday. The Texans think he'll be at full strength soon, but they are taking a cautious approach with him after he had arthroscopic knee surgery in the offseason. Head coach Bill O'Brien said it's unlikely that Clowney […]

Jesse Winker To Have Surgery

Updating previous reports, Cincinnati Reds outfielder Jesse Winker (shoulder) will have season-ending surgery to fix a right shoulder subluxation. It ends a great season for the 24-year-old. He hit .299/.405/.431 with seven long balls and 43 RBI in 89 games. He should be a fixture in Cincy's outfield in 2019. Phillip Ervin should benefit the […]

Cubs Trying To Land Cole Hamels

The Chicago Cubs are making progress towards a trade to land Texas Rangers starting pitcher Cole Hamels, according to sources. Hamels has an ERA over 10.00 in his last five starts, so he's not that attractive, but the starting pitching market isn't very robust. The left-hander could benefit from a change of scenery, but right […]

Cameron Meredith, Alex Okafor Take Part In Team Drills

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Cameron Meredith (knee) and defensive end Alex Okafor (Achilles) both took part in the team portion of practice on Thursday, which is a significant step in their recoveries. Meredith has a chance for a nice bounce-back season with his new team and could be quarterback Drew Brees' second favorite target […]
