Ken Giles To Join Team Thursday

Toronto Blue Jays relief pitcher Ken Giles is expected to join his new team on Thursday in Seattle. Giles was shipped to Toronto from Houston in the deal involving closer Roberto Osuna over the weekend. Giles was Houston's main closer in 2017 but faltered down the stretch and in the postseason and was demoted to […]

Jesse Winker Undergoes Surgery

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Jesse Winker (shoulder) had surgery to fix the labrum in his right shoulder on Tuesday. He is expected to be ready for spring training next year. In 89 games for the Reds in 2018, Winker was excellent with a .299/.405/.431 slash line, seven home runs and 43 RBI. He should have an […]

Jimmy Nelson Cleared To Throw Breaking Pitches

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Jimmy Nelson (shoulder) was cleared to start throwing breaking pitches after visiting with Dr. Neal ElAttrache on Monday. Nelson has been throwing off a mound but has yet to progress to throwing in game-like situations. The right-hander has yet to pitch in a game this year but could return to the […]

Hyun-Jin Ryu To Pitch In Rehab Game Thursday

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Hyun-Jin Ryu (groin) will throw three or four innings with Single-A Rancho Cucamonga on Thursday. The Korean southpaw should be able to rejoin the rotation sometime in early August, barring any setbacks. He was sporting a shiny 2.12 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 36 strikeouts in 29 2/3 innings over six […]

Justin Turner Could Return This Weekend

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner (groin) had another good workout on Tuesday, and manager Dave Roberts is encouraged with his progress. Turner could be activated from the disabled list by this weekend. The 33-year-old just hasn't been able to stay healthy this year, and his numbers have suffered as a result after a […]

Carlos Correa To Begin Rehab Assignment Thursday

The "initial plan" is for Houston Astros shortstop Carlos Correa (back) to start a rehab assignment with Double-A Corpus Christi on Thursday, according to manager A.J. Hinch. The star shortstop has been out since June 25, so he'll need at least a handful of rehab games to get his timing back. But he could be […]

Wilmer Flores Leaves Game With Dehydration

New York Mets infielder Wilmer Flores left the game early Tuesday due to dehydration and dizziness. Flores should be alright in a day or two. The 26-year-old is hitting .262 with nine home runs and 34 RBI on the season and should see more playing time in the Mets infield now that Asdrubal Cabrera is […]

Saints Signing Michael Floyd

The New Orleans Saints are signing free-agent wide receiver Michael Floyd on Tuesday, according to a source. Ever since a DUI arrest while with the Arizona Cardinals in 2016, Floyd has been well off the fantasy radar. He managed a 1,000-yard season with Arizona in 2013 on 65 catches. The former first-round pick in 2012 […]

Marlins Acquire Bryson Brigman In Cameron Maybin Deal

The Miami Marlins acquired infield prospect Bryson Brigman and international slot money from the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday in exchange for outfielder Cameron Maybin. Brigman, 23, was hitting .304 with two home runs, 38 RBI and 15 stolen bases in 98 games for High-A Modesto this year. The former third-round pick could be a middle […]

C.J. Prosise In Great Shape

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll continues to rave about the shape that running back C.J. Prosise is in at training camp. Prosise is now an option on third downs but will have to remain healthy after missing 21 of a possible 32 games in his first two years in the league. Not only will […]

Harrison Bader, Tyler O'Neill To Split Playing Time

St. Louis Cardinals outfielders Harrison Bader and Tyler O'Neill will split playing time in center field about 50-50, according to general manager John Mozeliak. The trade of Tommy Pham to the Rays opens up this playing time, but fantasy owners won't be too excited to hear that neither player in particular will benefit. Still, both […]

Andrew Miller To Make Rehab Appearance Tuesday

Cleveland Indians relief pitcher Andrew Miller (knee) got "very good" feedback from his rehab outing with Triple-A Columbus on Monday and will throw again on Tuesday, according to manager Terry Francona. Miller is nearing a return to Cleveland and could rejoin the bullpen this week. It's been a difficult year for the lefty, and he […]

Daniel Gossett To Have Tommy John Surgery

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Daniel Gossett (elbow) will undergo Tommy John surgery on Wednesday to fix the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow. The right-hander went 0-3 with a 5.18 ERA with 12 strikeouts in five starts for the team this year. He'll likely miss all of next season as well, meaning he won't […]

Yu Darvish Throws Bullpen

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Yu Darvish (elbow) threw a 35-pitch bullpen session on Tuesday and included all of his pitches. It's the first time he hasn't felt pain. "I'm really excited," Darvish said. It's progress for Darvish, but he still must progress to a minor league rehab assignment. Either way, there is a light at […]

Amara Darboh Competing For Roster Spot

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Amara Darboh is competing for a roster spot in training camp, but he made two tough catches from quarterback Russell Wilson on Tuesday, including one for a one-handed touchdown. The second-year NFL receiver could have more opportunities with Doug Baldwin (knee) sidelined, but he must make the most of them to […]

Austin Meadows Moving To Triple-A

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Austin Meadows, just acquired from the Pirates on Tuesday, is moving to Triple-A Durham in order to play every day. Reliever Tyler Glasnow will join the big league roster. Meadows held his own with Pittsburgh in his first taste of major league action earlier this year, hitting .292 with five home […]

Vita Vea Dealing With Calf Injury

Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie defensive tackle Vita Vea's (calf) injury isn't as serious as first believed, according to head coach Dirk Koetter. It remains to be seen if Vea will be ready for the regular season, but it's a bit of good news for the rookie. He was drafted 12th overall in the first round […]

Cole Beasley Playing More Outside

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Cole Beasley has been seeing more time on the outside in training camp. "I think he’s always been able to handle it. You’ve seen him have a lot of success at different times as an outside receiver. You’re absolutely right, he plays much more inside, but we’ve done that with him […]

Phillies Call Up Dylan Cozens

The Philadelphia Phillies recalled outfielder Dylan Cozens from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday. Cozens had just two hits (one homer) in 18 at-bats (.111) with the Phils earlier this year, although he was hitting very well on the farm. He could split time with Nick Williams in the outfield, but Cozens probably won't see enough […]

Arodys Vizcaino Weeks Ways From Throwing Activities

Atlanta Braves relief pitcher Arodys Vizcaino (shoulder) is a few weeks away from resuming throwing activities, according to manager Brian Snitker. Atlanta still believes Vizcaino will return this year, but they might just be being optimistic. Vizcaino hasn't pitched in a game since July 11 and doesn't appear at all close to returning. He was […]

J.A. Happ May Miss Saturday Start

New York Yankees starting pitcher J.A. Happ (illness) has contracted hand, foot and mouth disease and could be forced to miss his next start on Saturday against the Red Sox. It's a bummer after Happ was fantastic in his debut with the Yanks over the weekend against the Royals, but his fantasy owners probably aren't […]

Chris Sale Lands On DL

The Boston Red Sox placed starting pitcher Chris Sale (shoulder) on the 10-day disabled list on Tuesday with left shoulder inflammation. The team is recalling pitcher Brandon Workman from the minors in a corresponding move. Sale is an elite pitcher and fantasy commodity, so this is a big blow. The talented left-hander is a beast […]

Trevor Williams On Crutches And In Boot

Los Angeles Chargers cornerback Trevor Williams (ankle) was injured in practice on Tuesday and left on crutches and with his left foot in a walking boot. Head coach Anthony Lynn is hoping Williams is only dealing with a sprained ankle. Williams was a surprise contributor for the Bolts last year and started across from Casey […]

Eric Decker Works Out For Patriots

Free-agent wide receiver Eric Decker worked out for the New England Patriots on Monday, according to a source. With the team dealing with injuries to Kenny Britt, Malcolm Mitchell and Jordan Matthews, the veteran Decker could be an insurance policy for the start of the season. Julian Edelman will also be suspended the first four […]

Stephen Strasburg Cleared To Throw

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Stephen Strasburg (neck) has been cleared to throw and played catch on Monday. Manager Dave Martinez said he doesn't think Strasburg will need long to build back up. The Nats could really use Strasburg at the top of their rotation as they fight to remain relevant in the playoff picture. The […]

Dante Pettis Inconsistent In Camp

San Francisco 49ers rookie wide receiver Dante Pettis has been inconsistent so far in training camp. He creates separation with what quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo calls "wiggle" and continues to make plays on the outside, but he has also struggled with contested balls and winning at the catch point. Rookies often struggle with consistency, so this […]

Jerick McKinnon, Jimmy Garoppolo Gaining Chemistry

The chemistry between San Francisco 49ers running back Jerick McKinnon and quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo appears to be on point in training camp. McKinnon caught two touchdowns from Garoppolo in seven-on-seven drills on Tuesday. The former Minnesota Viking will be used heavily both on the ground and through the air by head coach Kyle Shanahan, and […]

Zay Jones Still Being Held Out

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Zay Jones (knee) is still recovering from an offseason injury and hasn't been involved in practices yet. He has done some running drills but doesn't appear close to practicing. Head coach Sean McDermott said Jones is moving in the right direction, though. Jones has an opportunity to be the No. 2 […]

Dion Jordan Has Stress Issue In Shin

Seattle Seahawks defensive end Dion Jordan (shin) is dealing with a "stress issue" in his shin, according to head coach Pete Carroll. Jordan is expected to be held out for at least another week. The team plans to take it slow with him after playing in only five games for the team in 2017. Jordan […]

Cowboys The Likely Landing Spot For Earl Thomas

The Dallas Cowboys remain the most likely landing spot for Seattle Seahawks free safety Earl Thomas. The Seahawks have no interest in giving Thomas a new deal and he will not report to the team until he has a new contract, so a trade is the most likely solution. Head coach Peter Carroll said the […]
