Atlanta Braves manager Brian Snitker said outfielder Ender Inciarte will bat second in Game 3 of the National League Division Series against Dodgers starter Walker Buehler on Sunday.

Braves Leaning Toward Sean Newcomb In Game 3 Of NLDS

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Kevin Gausman is listed as the Game 3 starter for the National League Division Series against the Dodgers on Sunday, but the team is now leaning toward using Sean Newcomb in that game. It could be because the Dodgers are much more beatable when they have to face lefties on the […]

Jeremy Maclin Getting Healthy

Free-agent wide receiver Jeremy Maclin (gluteus, hamstring) is close to being healthy and should have some workouts/visits with receiver-needy teams soon, according to a source. The Eagles came close to signing him before they settled on Jordan Matthews. The veteran wideout should be able to find a team once he proves he's fully healthy, but […]

Ted Ginn Ruled Out For Monday Night

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Ted Ginn (knee) has been ruled out for Monday night's game against the Redskins.

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said the organization isn't interested in re-signing wide receiver Dez Bryant. “Trust me, if it were in our best interest, his and ours and the teams, then he would be on the field for the Cowboys,” Jones said. “I agree where we are and his status right now. I agree […]

Rick Porcello Unlikely To Be Available For Game 3 Of ALDS

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Rick Porcello threw a bullpen session before Game 1 of the American League Division Series against the Yankees on Friday and entered the game in relief in the eighth inning, so he likely will be unavailable to pitch in Game 3 of the series. That means the Red Sox might […]

Terrance Williams Put On Injured Reserve

The Dallas Cowboys placed wide receiver Terrance Williams (foot) on Injured Reserve on Saturday. Williams has battled his injury and off-field injuries this year and hasn't made an impact on the field, catching both of his targets for only 18 yards in three games played. With Williams out of the picture, it should help rookie […]

Travis Frederick Being Placed On IR

The Dallas Cowboys will place center Travis Frederick (illness) on Injured Reserve to make room for defensive tackle David Irving on the active roster, according to a source. It's another blow to an offensive line that has been in decline. Joe Looney is expected to continue manning the center spot for Dallas moving forward.

Cameron Wake Ruled Out Against Bengals

The Miami Dolphins have ruled defensive end Cameron Wake (knee) out for Week 5 against the Bengals.

Wake has recorded 12 tackles and one […]

Lions Waiving Hakeem Valles

The Detroit Lions waived tight end Hakeem Valles on Saturday. With the Lions having a plethora of injuries to their defense, they will likely use the spot to add another defender ahead of Week 5 against the Packers.

Rishard Matthews To Work Out For Browns, Cardinals

Free-agent wide receiver Rishard Matthews has workouts planned with the Cleveland Browns on Monday and the Arizona Cardinals on Tuesday. Matthews was curiously not being used by Tennessee's new coaching staff, so he asked for and was granted his release. He is just two years removed from a 945-yard, nine-touchdown season, so Matthews can still […]

Evan Engram Getting Closer To A Return

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram (knee) is out in Week 5 against the Panthers, but he did some running and light cutting on a side field during practice this week, marking the first time he was able to do these activities since he sprained his right MCL two weeks ago. He'll miss his […]

Joe Mixon Not Expected To Be Fully Unleashed

Cincinnati Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis doesn't expect to fully unleash running back Joe Mixon (knee) in Week 5 against the Dolphins after he missed some time with his knee injury. Lewis said there will be some limits for Mixon due to his conditioning taking a hit during the rehab process. That means that fourth-round […]

Alex Erickson's Role To Increase

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Alex Erickson's role is expected to increase in Week 5 against the Dolphins with John Ross (groin) ruled out. Erickson earned the most snaps at receiver of any game this year by a wide margin in Week 4 and was also the third running back behind Giovani Bernard and rookie Mark […]

Steven Wright Undergoes MRI On Knee

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Steven Wright (knee) underwent an MRI exam on his knee on Friday since it was bothering him before Game 1 of the American League Division Series against the Yankees.

Barring any setbacks, Garoppolo should […]

49ers Offensive Line Banged Up Entering Week 5

San Francisco 49ers center Weston Richburg (knee) and right tackle Mike McGlinchey (knee) are both questionable to play in Week 5 against the Cardinals, while right guard Mike Person (knee) was limited in two practices this week. Left tackle Joe Staley (knee) is the most in question and probably the most important, as he'd be […]

Tyler Higbee, Mark Barron Questionable

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (knee) and linebacker Mark Barron (ankle) were both limited in practice on Friday and are both questionable for Week 5 against the Seahawks.

Kevin Gausman Lined Up For Game 3 Of NLDS

Atlanta Braves manager Brian Snitker said that starting pitcher Kevin Gausman will start Game 3 of the National League Division Series against the Dodgers as long as he's not used in relief in Game 2 on Friday.

Clint Frazier Resting At Home

New York Yankees outfielder Clint Frazier (concussion) is at home and is resting, according to general manager Brian Cashman.

Aaron Hicks Injured In Game 1

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks (hamstring) left the game early on Friday in Game 1 of the American League Division Series against the Red Sox with right hamstring tightness. The Yankees continue to evaluate him. Hicks dealt with hamstring issues to close out the regular season, so this could be an aggravation of that, […]

Aaron Colvin Out At Least Six Weeks

Houston Texans slot cornerback Aaron Colvin (ankle) will be out at least six weeks, according to a source. Houston's secondary wasn't very deep to begin with, so this could become a problem for them moving forward. Shareece Wright and Kayvon Webster should help fill in down the middle. This is good news for the Cowboys […]

Kurt Suzuki Catching In Game 2

Atlanta Braves catcher Kurt Suzuki will serve as the starting catcher over Tyler Flowers and hit fifth in Game 2 of the National League Division Series on Friday against Dodgers starter Clayton Kershaw.

Luis Severino, CC Sabathia To Start Games 3 And 4

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said starting pitchers Luis Severino and CC Sabathia will start Games 3 and 4, respectively, in the American League Division Series against the Red Sox. Severino was great in the wild-card win over the A's, allowing just two hits in four scoreless innings with seven strikeouts, although he did […]

Aaron Rodgers, Jimmy Graham Off Injury Report

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (knee) and tight end Jimmy Graham (knee) both practiced in full on Friday and are off the final injury report for Week 5 against the Lions.

Ted Ginn Still Out Thursday

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Ted Ginn (knee) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. If Ginn can't return to practice on Saturday, we don't like his chances of playing on Monday night against the Redskins.
