Cardale Jones Waived

The Los Angeles Chargers waived quarterback Cardale Jones on Sunday. Jones lost out in the backup battle to Geno Smith during training camp and the preseason. The converted wide receiver remains fantasy irrelevant.

Matt Kalil Put On IR, Daryl Williams Returns To Practice

The Carolina Panthers placed left tackle Matt Kalil (knee) on the Injured Reserve on Sunday. Kalil underwent an arthroscopic procedure on his knee after consulting with Dr. James Andrews. Kalil is eligible to return after Week 8. Meanwhile, right tackle Daryl Williams (knee) returned to practice on Sunday after dislocating his right patella and tearing […]

Joe Webb Re-Signs With Texans

The Houston Texans re-signed quarterback Joe Webb on Sunday, according to his agent, David Canter. Webb will join Brandon Weeden as the backups to Deshaun Watson. Webb is completely off the fantasy radar.

Mike Gillislee To Sign With Saints

Free-agent running back Mike Gillislee will sign a one-year deal with the New Orleans Saints on Sunday after being cut by the Patriots on Saturday, according to a source. This move makes sense after the team also cut Jonathan Williams on Saturday. Mark Ingram will also serve a four-game suspension to open the year, so […]

Nelson Cruz Dealing With Bone Bruise

Seattle Mariners designated hitter Nelson Cruz (foot) is dealing with a bone bruise on his foot after fouling a ball off his foot on Saturday night, according to manager Scott Servais. However, Cruz plans to play through the injury with the team trying to make the playoffs in the final month. The big bopper had […]

Braves Acquire Preston Tucker On Sunday

The Atlanta Braves acquired outfielder Preston Tucker from the Cincinnati Reds on Sunday in exchange for cash considerations. Tucker started the year with the Braves but was traded to the Reds. He's hit a combined .240/.302/.429 with six home runs and 27 RBI in 79 total games. Tucker will just be a bench bat for […]

Ryan LaMarre Injured Sunday

Chicago White Sox outfielder Ryan LaMarre (hip) left the game early on Sunday with right hip soreness after six innings. He is listed as day-to-day. LaMarre had a single, run scored and strikeout in four plate appearances before departing. He's batting .281 with just two home runs and 15 RBI in 61 games this year. […]

Andrew Triggs Likely To Begin Rehab Assignment This Week

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Andrew Triggs (arm) is likely to go on a rehab assignment with High-A Stockton this week. Triggs has been out since May 17 and had an ERA above 5.00 in his nine starts before his injury. The right-hander really won't be much of a fantasy option if he becomes an option […]

Brett Anderson To Throw Monday

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Brett Anderson (forearm) might throw three innings off a mound on Monday. The left-hander might not miss a ton of time after being put on the disabled list last week. Anderson is 3-4 with a 4.02 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 34 strikeouts in 65 innings over 13 starts for the A's […]

Julio Urias Struggling In Minors

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Julio Urias has had mixed results in the minors while recovering from left shoulder surgery last year. His most recent outing last Friday was cut short after just three hitters due to his pitch count. The optimism of Urias helping out the Dodgers bullpen to close out the year is […]

Ross Stripling Eyeing Friday Return

The Los Angeles Dodgers and starting pitcher Ross Stripling (back) are planning a return from the disabled list this Friday. He had an "up-and-down" two-inning bullpen session on Sunday and will throw a simulated game on Tuesday before coming off the DL on Friday. Stripling has been great for the Dodgers this year, going 8-3 […]

Marco Gonzales Could Rejoin Rotation Next Weekend

Seattle Mariners manager Scott Servais said starting pitcher Marco Gonzales (neck) is progressing and could throw off a mound for a bullpen session on Monday. If he avoids setbacks, Gonzales could rejoin the rotation next weekend. The southpaw hurler has been decent overall but was terrible in August before his injury. Fantasy owners will probably […]

J.D. Martinez To Miss A Day Or Two

Boston Red Sox outfielder J.D. Martinez will receive either a day or two off in the series in Atlanta against the Braves this week. With no designated hitter in a National League park, this is the perfect time to get Martinez some rest. Martinez has been a fantasy beast, hitting .335/.405/.647 with 39 long balls, […]

Ryan Rua Receives Injection

Texas Rangers outfielder Ryan Rua (back) received an anti-inflammatory injection on Friday to help relieve back stiffness. He was taken off his rehab assignment with Double-A Frisco on Thursday when he suffered a setback. Rua may not be able to make it back at all again this year after his latest setback. He has hit […]

Jeffrey Springs To Start Monday

Texas Rangers pitcher Jeffrey Springs will make the start on Monday against the Angels. Pitcher Ariel Jurado will follow Springs on Monday. Springs has a 2.55 ERA and 1.42 WHIP with 18 strikeouts in 17 2/3 innings over 10 appearances for the Rangers bullpen this year. He had a 4.13 ERA with Double-A Frisco and […]

T.J. Rivera Done For The Year

New York Mets infielder T.J. Rivera (elbow) is out for the rest of the season, according to manager Mickey Callaway. Rivera was trying to make it back from Tommy John surgery a year ago, but he wasn't able to play at all in 2018. He hit .290 with five home runs and 27 RBI in […]

Ian Kennedy Close To Returning

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Ian Kennedy (oblique) will make one more rehab start, likely with Double-A Northwest Arkansas, in the next few days. Manager Ned Yost said he is thinking of going to a six-man rotation when Kennedy is back from the disabled list. Kennedy is just 1-8 on the year with a 5.13 […]

Jorge Soler Unlikely To Return This Year

Kansas City Royals outfielder Jorge Soler (toe) suffered a setback on his rehab assignment with Triple-A Omaha, and manager Ned Yost said Soler could be shut down for the rest of the year. "He's got edema in the bone marrow now," Yost said. "He didn't fracture it again. But he's just got to slow down. […]

Touki Toussaint To Start Monday

Atlanta Braves rookie starting pitcher Touki Toussaint will make the start on Monday against the Red Sox. Toussaint, the team's No. 7 prospect, allowed one earned run while striking out four in six innings in his first big league start back on Aug. 13 against the Marlins. He'll get a much tougher matchup in this […]

Kelvin Herrera Undergoes Surgery

Washington Nationals relief pitcher Kelvin Herrera (foot) had surgery last Thursday to fix the torn Lisfranc ligament in his left foot. Herrera will miss the rest of the season. He posted a 2.44 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 7.7 K/9 in 48 outings (44 1/3 innings) between the Royals and Nats this year. He also had […]

Erick Fedde To Start Tuesday

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Erick Fedde (shoulder) will come off the 60-day disabled list to make the start against the Cardinals on Tuesday. The 25-year-old Fedde was 1-3 with a 5.79 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 19 strikeouts in 28 innings over his six starts this year for the Nats. He's definitely not a recommended streamer […]

Kevin Kiermaier Feeling Better

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier (back) said his back "feels a little bit better today," but he wasn't in the starting lineup on Sunday after dealing with back spasms on Saturday. He's hoping he can rejoin the lineup on Monday, but he's day-to-day and might not play on the turf in Toronto. Kiermaier is […]

Still No Baseball Activities For Eddie Rosario

Minnesota Twins outfielder Eddie Rosario (quadriceps) still wasn't able to do baseball activities on Sunday. There remains no timetable for Rosario after he injured himself last Thursday. Rosario, who hits left-handed, has been a bright spot for the Twins this year, hitting .292 with 22 home runs, 74 RBI and eight steals. Keep him stashed […]

David Price Could Return Next Weekend

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher David Price (wrist) could return from the disabled list by next weekend against the Astros. Price has gone 14-6 with a 3.60 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 9.0 K/9 over 26 starts. He'll be a must-start fantasy option when he returns to the team's rotation.

Chris Sale Could Return Next Weekend

Boston Red Sox ace Chris Sale (shoulder) could start a game as early as next weekend against the Astros, but his role would be as an "opener" for two to three innings as he rebuilds his arm strength. Sale has been one of the best pitchers in baseball this year but has missed time this […]

Corey Knebel Back In Majors

The Milwaukee Brewers recalled relief pitcher Corey Knebel from Triple-A Colorado Springs on Sunday. Knebel was sent down on Aug. 24 while struggling recently, posting a 7.36 ERA since July 4 over 19 outings. The hard-throwing right-hander was an All Star in 2017 when he had a 1.78 ERA and 39 saves while striking out […]

Justin Bour Back From DL

The Philadelphia Phillies activated first baseman Justin Bour (oblique) from the disabled list on Sunday. His activation doesn't necessarily mean that he'll be ready to play right away, as oblique injuries typically require a position player to miss an average of 27 days. Bour was on the DL for just 10 days. Regardless, manager Gabe […]

Welington Castillo Activated Sunday

The Chicago White Sox activated catcher Welington Castillo (shoulder) from the disabled list following his performance-enhancing drug suspension on Sunday. The 31-year-old hasn't played in the majors since May 23 and was hitting .270 with six home runs and 15 RBI before his 80-game suspension. He should share time with Omar Narvaez behind the dish, […]

Byron Buxton Won't Be Back Up This Year

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton has been informed that he won't be called up to finish out the season. Buxton teased fantasy owners at the end of last year, but 2018 has been another lost season for the former top prospect. The 24-year-old hit just .156/.183/.200 with no homers, four RBI and five stolen bases […]

Adam Wainwright Pitches Well In Rehab Start

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Adam Wainwright (elbow) tossed five scoreless innings and struck out seven hitters with Triple-A Memphis on Saturday. He threw 90 pitches in the outing. Wainwright could return from the disabled list as early as next weekend and enter the rotation against the Tigers. The veteran starter appears to be back […]
