Kansas City Chiefs running back Spencer Ware (knee), who injured his PCL and LCL and missed the whole 2017 season, should be "ready to go" for the first training camp practice on Thursday, according to head coach Andy Reid. Ware had 921 rushing yards and 447 receiving yards in 14 games in 2016 and should […]

LeSean McCoy Set To Report On Wednesday

Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy is set to report to training camp on Wednesday with the rest of the veterans, according to sources. Unless his status changes with the NFL, McCoy is expected to be treated as normal. Shady McCoy was accused of domestic assault, animal abuse and performance-enhancing drug use by his ex-girlfriend […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Will Report On Time

New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. will report to training camp on time on Wednesday. “He wants to play football, he wants to win," a source close to Beckham said. The Giants and Beckham are still trying to work out a long-term extension, but as he's said all along, he will not hold […]

Yankees Inquiring On Chris Archer

The New York Yankees are among the teams that have asked about Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Chris Archer. However, other teams are skeptical that the Rays will move Archer, who is on a team-friendly deal, within their division. Archer has been rather disappointing for fantasy owners in 2018, mainly due to injuries. He has […]

Shin-Soo Choo Not Attracting Much Trade Interest

Texas Rangers outfielder Shin-Soo Choo, who has a .400 on-base percentage and .288 batting average, isn't receiving much interest on the trade market. He still has two years and $42 million left on his contract and is perceived mainly as a designated hitter, which would eliminate National League teams. Choo also has 18 home runs […]

Yankees Still Trying For Zach Britton

While the Astros and the Cubs have been the teams most linked to Baltimore Orioles closer Zach Britton, the New York Yankees are still trying to acquire him. Britton is almost a lock to be traded before the July 31 non-waiver deadline. However, in a loaded Yankees bullpen that already has Aroldis Chapman locked in […]

Rockies Scouting Kevin Gausman, Dylan Bundy

The Colorado Rockies have been scouting Baltimore Orioles starting pitchers Kevin Gausman and Dylan Bundy, according to sources. The Rockies have had longstanding interest in Gausman, who is a native of Colorado. Colorado is chasing both a division title and wild-card spot in a close National League West and could use help in their rotation. […]

A's Interested In Mike Fiers

The Oakland Athletics are interested in Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Mike Fiers, but serious talks between the two sides hasn't begun, according to sources. Oakland still has the prospect depth after trading for relief pitcher Jeurys Familia over the weekend. Fiers has been a pleasant surprise for the rebuilding Tigers this year. He shut down […]

Astros "All In" On Zach Britton

The Houston Astros are "all in" on Baltimore Orioles closer Zach Britton, according to a source. Last year's failed trade will have no impact on whether Houston lands him this year. Britton got off to a bad start after a late start to the year with an Achilles injury, but he hasn't allowed a run […]

Phillies Option Aaron Altherr, Mark Leiter Jr.

The Philadelphia Phillies optioned outfielder Aaron Altherr and relief pitcher Mark Leiter Jr. to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sunday. Altherr is batting a measly .171 in 248 plate appearances this year and can be dropped in all redraft leagues if he wasn't already. Leiter hasn't been much better in 2018 as a reliever, sporting a […]

CC Sabathia Pushed Back Until Friday

With a rainout on Sunday, New York Yankees starting pitcher CC Sabathia, who was scheduled to pitch on Tuesday, will now be pushed back until Friday against the Royals. Sabathia received a lubricating injection in his right knee before the All-Star break and should be fine with extra rest. Masahiro Tanaka, who was scheduled to […]

Eric Thames Could Return Monday

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman/outfielder Eric Thames (hamstring) is eligible to come off the 10-day disabled list on Monday, but the Brewers won't know if that'll happen until he tests his hamstring on Monday. “It’s a possibility,” manager Craig Counsell said. “He’ll participate in live BP with (pitcher) Zach (Davies) tomorrow, take some live swings. He’ll […]

Clint Frazier Put On DL

The New York Yankees placed outfielder Clint Frazier (head) on the 10-day disabled list on Saturday after he was initially put on the seven-day concussion DL. The Yankees are expected to give more information on Frazier's injury soon. Frazier has mostly played in the minors this year because of New York's crowded outfield room at […]

Clay Buchholz Will Start Tuesday

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Clay Buchholz (oblique) will return from the disabled list to start Tuesday against the Cubs. Buchholz has been way better than anyone could've expected for Arizona this year, going 2-1 with a 2.56 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 7.2 K/9 over seven starts. If he continues to pitch anywhere near that level […]

Mitch Trubisky Has Been Inconsistent At Training Camp

Chicago Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky, who has made just 12 NFL starts heading into his second year, has been extremely inconsistent early in training camp. He's learning a new offensive scheme that is much more complex than the one he had in place in his rookie season, and he has been on a roller coaster […]

Todd Frazier Hitting Off A Tee

New York Mets third baseman Todd Frazier (ribs) has been hitting off a tee and will start "more intense baseball activities" in the next few days, according to manager Mickey Callaway. It looks like Frazier may be able to come off the disabled list later this week. He was underwhelming with a .217/.300/.385 slash line, […]

Six Teams Interested In Zack Wheeler

New York Mets starting pitcher Zack Wheeler is the most likely Mets starter to be traded at the deadline this month, and around six teams have shown interest in him. Wheeler has strikeout upside (8.9 K/9), but he's been inconsistent with a 4.44 ERA and 1.34 WHIP over 18 starts (107 1/3 innings) in 2018. […]

Chad Bettis Has More Blister Problems

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Chad Bettis (finger) left early after just 70 pitches at Triple-A Albuquerque on Saturday because the blister on his middle finger was bothering him again. It's unclear when he'll be able to make his next rehab start. Bettis last pitched on July 1 and was sporting a weak 5.10 ERA, 1.39 […]

Adalberto Mejia To Start Against Blue Jays Monday

Minnesota Twins pitcher Adalberto Mejia will be called up on Monday to make a start against the Blue Jays. The left-hander made a start against the Cubs back on June 30 and allowed four runs on six hits in just four innings while striking out one and walking three. It's safe to say he'll be […]

Luke Farrell To Start Monday

Chicago Cubs pitcher Luke Farrell will make a spot start on Monday against the Diamondbacks at home. Farrell has a decent 3.86 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and career-high 11.9 K/9, but he's made just one start on the season. He allowed three earned runs over just 2 2/3 innings in his one start against the Reds […]

Brent Suter Expected To Go Back On DL

Milwaukee Brewers manager Craig Counsell said he expects starting pitcher Brent Suter (forearm) to go back on the disabled list for the second time with a left forearm strain. Suter will undergo an MRI exam to determine the severity of his injury. The left-hander allowed six runs on eight hits over just three innings against […]

Joey Gallo Suffers Ankle Sprain

Texas Rangers first baseman/outfielder Joey Gallo (ankle) was removed from the game early on Sunday due to a left ankle sprain. The severity of the injury is unknown at this time. Gallo is pretty much all power for fantasy owners, as he had 24 homers and 54 RBI coming into Sunday's game. On the flip […]

Justin Turner Expected To Land On DL

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said third baseman Justin Turner (groin) is likely to land back on the disabled list after aggravating his injury on Sunday. Turner's 2018 season has been defined by injuries, and he was returning after 11 games on the sidelines due to his right groin injury. Before Sunday, Turner was […]

Viral Illness Lands Noah Syndergaard On DL

New York Mets starting pitcher Noah Syndergaard (illness) landed back on the disabled list Sunday due to hand, foot and mouth disease -- a viral infection common in children. The team thinks Syndergaard contracted the illness while working a youth camp during the All-Star break. Assistant general manager John Ricco said there is a chance […]

Three More Teams Interested In Asdrubal Cabrera

The Brewers, Indians and Phillies are among the teams interested in New York Mets infielder Asdrubal Cabrera. He's having a fine season by hitting .280 with a .332 on-base percentage and 17 home runs. Perhaps his biggest asset is his versatility, both to real teams and fantasy owners. Cabrera is eligible at second base, shortstop […]

Giants, Red Sox Interested In Austin Jackson

The San Francisco Giants and Boston Red Sox are interested in free-agent outfielder Austin Jackson. The Giants recently traded Jackson to the Rangers in a salary dump. He'd have a better shot at playing time back in San Francisco, where he hit .242 with ho homers and 13 RBI in 149 at-bats earlier this year. […]

Joe Flacco Showing Athleticism In Training Camp

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco, who was sidelined with a back injury last year at camp, showed his athleticism on a run-pass option and sprinted 20 yards downfield on Sunday at training camp. "It looks like he’s moving and grooving better than he has in several years," offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg said. Flacco feels the […]

Edubray Ramos Lands On DL

The Philadelphia Phillies are putting relief pitcher Edubray Ramos (knee) on the disabled list before Game 2 of their doubleheader against the Padres on Sunday. Ramos tweaked his left knee in Game 1 and will miss some time. He's been great for the Phils this year with a 1.93 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 33 strikeouts […]

More Forearm Tightness For Brent Suter

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Brent Suter (forearm) left his start early with left forearm tightness on Sunday. It's the same injury that landed him on the disabled list before the All-Star break, and he seems primed to go back on the DL this time around. Suter had allowed six runs in three innings to the […]

Justin Turner Re-Injures Himself Sunday

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner (groin) left the game early in the third inning on Sunday after re-injuring his groin. It was his first start in 11 days. Turner broke out in 2017 but hasn't been able to recapture that magic this year, mainly due to injuries. He was batting only .256 with […]
