Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston, currently serving a three-game suspension, is being sued by the Arizona Uber driver who accused him of sexual assault by groping her in March of 2016. Kate P. is seeking more than $75,000 in damages. Winston hasn't been criminally charged in the incident and is unlikely to face further […]

Trevor Story's Ligament Is Intact

Colorado Rockies manager Bud Black said that doctors gave shortstop Trevor Story (elbow) good news on Tuesday. Story is dealing with inflammation in his right elbow, and the ligament is intact. However, the team is still waiting for a thorough diagnosis, and it's unclear if Story will be able to return this year. The fact […]

Homer Bailey Likely Done For Season

Cincinnati Reds pitcher Homer Bailey appears to be done for the 2018 season. The open spot in the rotation for Sunday against the Marlins will either go to Michael Lorenzen or someone else in the bullpen, according to manager Jim Riggleman. "As far as starting, yeah," Riggleman said. "Homer has indicated that he can't relieve. […]

Nick Senzel To Play Outfield In Instructional League

Cincinnati Reds prospect Nick Senzel (finger), the team's top prospect, played second base at Triple-A Louisville this year, shortstop in big league spring training and is in Arizona this week to learn the outfield during the instructional league. The 23-year-old will play in games starting on Oct. 1, and the Reds envision him playing a […]

Trevor Cahill Throws Tuesday

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Trevor Cahill (back) threw from 120 feet on Tuesday and is still trying to work his way back into the rotation. The team will see how he feels on Wednesday, and there remains no guarantee that he'll return this year. Cahill has about a week and a half left, so he'd […]

Salvador Perez Scratched Tuesday

Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez (thumb) was scratched from the lineup on Tuesday due to lingering soreness from his left thumb sprain. Meibrys Viloria took over behind the plate and was hitting eighth against Pirates starter Jameson Taillon on Tuesday. With KC having nothing to play for down the stretch, Perez could see more […]

James Paxton Throwing Tuesday

Updating a previous report, Seattle Mariners starting pitcher James Paxton (illness) is throwing in the bullpen before the game on Tuesday. It was previously reported that Paxton wouldn't throw until at least Wednesday, so this gives us hope that he can make at least one more start this year and possibly as soon as this […]

Jordan Howard Needs More Carries

Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy acknowledged that running back Jordan Howard could stand to see a few more carries, but the team will need to be leading in the fourth quarter for that to happen. Through two weeks, 11 players have more carries than Howard's 29 and 11 also have more rushing yards than […]

Handful Of Players Could Return In Week 3 For Seattle

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said there is hope that linebackers Bobby Wagner (groin) and K.J. Wright (knee), offensive guard D.J. Fluker (hamstring) and cornerback Tre Flowers (hamstring) can return in Week 3 against the Cowboys. Seattle could desperately use both Wagner and Wright back in the middle of their struggling defense. If all […]

Pete Carroll Says Russell Wilson Was Over-Trying

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said quarterback Russell Wilson was "over-trying" in Monday night's Week 2 loss to the Bears on the road. Wilson went 22-for-36 for 226 yards, two touchdowns, an interception returned for a touchdown and a lost fumble. He was also sacked six times, with five coming in the first half. […]

Carlos Martinez, Bud Norris Unavailable Tuesday

St. Louis Cardinals closer Carlos Martinez and relief pitcher Bud Norris (finger) will be unavailable on Tuesday. Martinez has pitched each of the last two nights, while Norris is dealing with a blister issue and also was unavailable on Monday. St. Louis' bullpen will be short-handed Tuesday night, meaning Jordan Hicks is likely the favorite […]

Mitch Garver Unlikely To Do Baseball Activities Until This Weekend

Minnesota Twins catcher Mitch Garver (concussion) is still dealing with concussion symptoms. Manager Paul Molitor doesn't "see anything happening baseball-wise" until at least this weekend. It's looking like Garver won't play again before the end of the season. Catchers Willian Astudillo and Chris Gimenez will likely split time behind the dish, with Astudillo being much […]

Felix Hernandez To Test Injury With Bullpen

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Felix Hernandez (hamstring) will rejoin the team in Texas this weekend and will throw a bullpen session to test his hamstring before a decision is made on when his next start will be. Hernandez last started on Sept. 8 and would likely only be able to make one more start this […]

James Paxton Unlikely To Throw Until Wednesday

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher James Paxton (illness), who has been dealing with the flu and pneumonia, is unlikely to throw a bullpen session until Wednesday, which means he's still at least a few days from rejoining the rotation. There's still a chance that Paxton makes one more start before the end of the year, but […]

Dalyn Dawkins Promoted To Active Roster

Tennessee Titans running back Dalyn Dawkins was promoted to the active roster from the practice squad on Tuesday. Also, the team signed cornerback Kenneth Durden back to the 53-man roster and elevated tackle Tyler Marz from the practice squad. Dawkins is the nephew of Hall of Famer Brian Dawkins. Running back David Fluellen left Week […]

Patriots Re-Sign Jace Billingsley

The New England Patriots re-signed wide receiver Jace Billingsley to the practice squad on Tuesday and placed receiver Riley McCarron on the Injured Reserve in a corresponding move. None of this means anything for fantasy owners. Carry on.

Rob Kelley Placed On Injured Reserve Tuesday

The Washington Redskins placed running back Rob Kelley (toe) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday after he injured his toe in Week 2 against the Colts. He will be out for at least the next eight weeks. Samaje Perine will move up as the No. 3 running back behind Adrian Peterson and Chris Thompson. Neither Kelley […]

More Elbow Soreness For Hunter Harvey

Baltimore Orioles pitching prospect Hunter Harvey (elbow) experienced more elbow soreness while throwing in the fall instructional league in Florida on Tuesday. Harvey continues to be set back by arm injuries despite being the team's No. 8 prospect. The right-hander has gone 1-2 with a 5.57 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 8.4 K/9 over just nine […]

Nick Delmonico Scratched With Stiff Neck

Chicago White Sox outfielder Nick Delmonico (neck) was scratched from the starting lineup on Tuesday with a stiff neck from a dive in the outfield he attempted on Sunday. Ryan LaMarre is in left field and is hitting seventh against Indians ace Corey Kluber on Tuesday. You should obviously be avoiding LaMarre in DFS. Delmonico […]

Lance McCullers Jr. Throws Another Sim Game

Houston Astros starting pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. (forearm) threw a 30-pitch simulated game on Tuesday, and manager A.J. Hinch said it was another good step forward. McCullers could return to the team soon, but he figures to only be a bullpen option moving forward to end the season and into the playoffs. He can be […]

Chris Carson Still Atop Seahawks Depth Chart

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson remains atop the team's running back depth chart heading into Week 3 against the Cowboys. Carson didn't see any action on offense in the second half of Monday night's loss to the Bears as Seattle tried to change things up with rookie Rashaad Penny. Penny wasn't any more effective […]

Trevor Bauer Feeling Great

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Trevor Bauer (leg) threw off a mound to hitters on Tuesday and said he's feeling great. He joked with manager Terry Francona that he would be available in relief on Tuesday. While Bauer is making good progress from a stress reaction in his leg in mid-August, he's likely to only pitch […]

Luis Ortiz Shut Down

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Luis Ortiz (hamstring) will not pitch again this year. Ortiz made his first major league start last Friday and had to come out after 1 2/3 innings. He went 5-5 with a 3.70 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 7.8 K/9 over 22 outings (17 starts) with the Brewers and Orioles in the […]

Andy Levitre Put On IR

The Atlanta Falcons placed offensive guard Andy Levitre (elbow) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday. Wes Schweitzer will now take over as the starter at left guard. The Falcons signed guard Zac Kerin in a corresponding move. It's bad news for the team's running game, and they could be without running back Devonta Freeman (knee) for […]

Michael Fulmer Has Torn Meniscus

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Michael Fulmer (knee) has been diagnosed with a torn right meniscus, according to manager Ron Gardenhire. Fulmer has already been ruled out for the rest of this season and will now need to undergo surgery this offseason. Rehab for a meniscus tear is typically around three months, so Fulmer might be […]

Matt Barnes To Return Soon

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Matt Barnes (hip) said he has been throwing bullpen sessions at full speed and will return to game action soon. Barnes has been an integral part of the team's bullpen, posting a 3.39 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and fantastic 14.2 K/9 over 58 outings (58 1/3 innings). He's only useful in […]

Edwin Encarnacion Will Return Wednesday

Cleveland Indians designated hitter Edwin Encarnacion (ankle), who tweaked his ankle on Saturday, is fine and will be back in the starting lineup on Wednesday. Third baseman Josh Donaldson will also start back-to-back games for the first time with the team on Tuesday and Wednesday. The Indians have no reason to rush Encarnacion with the […]

Miguel Sano Returns Against Tigers

Minnesota Twins third baseman Miguel Sano (knee) is returning to the starting lineup on Tuesday, playing third base and hitting seventh against Tigers starter Daniel Norris. Sano was out for two weeks, but he can provide those in deep mixed and AL-only leagues with power the rest of the way. It's been a disappointing season […]

Aroldis Chapman Expected To Be Activated Soon

New York Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman (knee) said his knee and arm feel good, and he is expecting to come off the disabled list in the next day or so. Chapman threw a successful simulated game on Monday and could be closing games again by this weekend. Get ready to put him back into all […]

Jordan Matthews Working Out With Eagles

Free-agent wide receiver Jordan Matthews (hamstring) worked out for the Philadelphia Eagles, his original team, on Tuesday, according to a league source. Matthews was released with an injury designation six weeks ago by the Patriots. The receiver left the workout hopeful a deal would get done. The Eagles traded Matthews in 2016 to the Bills, […]
