Starlin Castro Leaves Team Monday

Miami Marlins second baseman Starlin Castro left the team on Monday to return to Florida to be with his wife, who went into labor. With the regular season finale on Sunday, the Marlins may just have Castro miss the final week of the season. Castro was a bright spot on a bad team in 2018, […]

Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Pedro Strop (hamstring) played catch and did agility drills before the game on Monday. "He was pretty upbeat [Sunday] about where he's at," manager Joe Maddon said. Strop could return to the team later this week, but there's no guarantee he'll even pitch in high-leverage situations before the regular season finale […]

Brent Grimes Playing Against Steelers

Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Brent Grimes (groin) is active in Week 3 against the Steelers on Monday night. His presence is good news for a beat up secondary that will try to slow down Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and All-Pro receiver Antonio Brown. Rookie running back Ronald Jones III remains a healthy scratch, while rookie […]

David DeCastro, Marcus Gilbert Out Monday

Pittsburgh Steelers offensive guard David DeCastro (hand) and offensive tackle Marcus Gilbert (hamstring) are both inactive in Week 3 against the Buccaneers on Monday night.

Colts Not Concerned About Andrew Luck's Arm Strength

Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich and the rest of the coaching staff are not concerned with quarterback Andrew Luck's arm strength or velocity through three weeks. Luck is currently averaging a career-low 5.3 yards per completion. The Colts also brought in backup Jacoby Brissett for a hail-mary attempt late in the game in Week […]

Yefry Ramirez Unlikely To Start Wednesday

Baltimore Orioles manager Buck Showalter said starting pitcher Yefry Ramirez (finger) is unlikely to start on Wednesday due to a cut on his finger. John Means would be a candidate to start against the Red Sox in what would be his major league debut. With the regular season ending on Sunday, it's not a guarantee […]

Chad Bettis Lined Up To Start Tuesday

Colorado Rockies manager Bud Black said pitcher Chad Bettis is the probable starter for Tuesday against the Phillies after the team pushed Tyler Anderson (shoulder) back. Bettis would be a bad option for those looking to stream, especially at Coors Field. The right-hander has a 5.18 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and weak 6.0 K/9 over 25 […]

James Paxton Will Be On Pitch Count Monday

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher James Paxton (illness) will be limited to around 70 to 75 pitches in his return on Monday against the A's.

Carlos Correa Could Return Wednesday

Houston Astros shortstop Carlos Correa (back) is unlikely to play on Tuesday, according to manager A.J. Hinch. However, there's a chance that the start shortstop could be back in there on Wednesday. Correa hasn't played since last Tuesday due to more soreness in his back. The Astros are trying to get him right for another […]

Trevor Story To Return To Lineup Monday

Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story (elbow) will be in the starting lineup against the Phillies on Monday after missing five games with right elbow soreness. Story might have some issues throwing in the field, but he should be fine to return to fantasy lineups for his bat. The MVP candidate returns with the Rockies pushing […]

Justin Jackson Added To Active Roster

The Los Angeles Chargers signed rookie running back Justin Jackson to the active roster from the practice squad and waived running back Detrez Newsome in a corresponding move. Jackson was a seventh-round pick and will back up Melvin Gordon and Austin Ekeler. Jackson won't have any immediate fantasy value.

Tyler Anderson Could Start Later This Week

Colorado Rockies general manager Jeff Bridich said that starting pitcher Tyler Anderson's (shoulder) injury "doesn't seem to be too serious." The team is hoping he can make a start later this week after being scratched from his scheduled start on Monday. The Rockies close out the year with three games this weekend at home against […]

49ers To Work Out Tom Savage

The San Francisco 49ers are bringing in free-agent quarterback Tom Savage for a workout on Monday, according to a source. Jimmy Garoppolo (knee) tore his ACL in the Week 3 loss to the Chiefs, so the Niners need more depth at the position behind C.J. Beathard, who will now be the starter. Savage won't be […]

LeSean McCoy To Be Day-To-Day This Week

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said running back LeSean McCoy (ribs) is progressing well and will be day-to-day this week. McCoy sat out of the surprising Week 3 win over the Vikings on the road. He has a chance to return this weekend against the Packers, but McCoy might be questionable. It all depends […]

Adrian Peterson Has Sprained Ankle

Washington Redskins head coach Jay Gruden announced Monday that running back Adrian Peterson (ankle) suffered a sprained ankle in the Week 3 win over the Packers.

Leonard Fournette, T.J. Yeldon Are Day-To-Day

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone said running backs Leonard Fournette (hamstring) and T.J. Yeldon (ankle) will be day-to-day this week. Fournette practiced on a limited basis last week but sat out for the second straight game. If he can get in a full practice at some point this week, he should be good to […]

Jimmy Garoppolo's Season Is Over

An MRI exam on Monday confirmed that San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (knee) has a torn ACL, according to a source. He will miss the rest of the 2018 season. It's a really big blow to a team that lost running back Jerick McKinnon to the same injury before the season even started. Garoppolo […]

Dalvin Cook Day-To-Day Ahead Of Thursday's Game

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring) is still "day-to-day" and will see how he feels on Thursday. He said he's feeling good and that there is a good chance he'll play on Thursday against the Rams. Cook said he'd "definitely" play on Sunday, so he's pumping the breaks a little bit on a short […]

Muhammad Wilkerson Likely Done For The Year

Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy said defensive end Muhammad Wilkerson (ankle) underwent surgery on Sunday and will likely miss the rest of the season. McCarthy said it was a "significant" injury. Wilkerson had only two tackles on the season, but nevertheless it's a blow to Green Bay's pass rush moving forward.

Jonathan Holder To Start Monday

New York Yankees relief pitcher Jonathan Holder will serve as the opener against the Rays on Monday. Holder is 1-3 and has a nice 2.97 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 58 strikeouts over 63 2/3 innings in 57 outings. It'll be the 25-year-old's first career major league start, and he's unlikely to go more than a […]

Marcus Mariota Still Can't Make Certain Throws

Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel said that there are still some throws that quarterback Marcus Mariota (elbow) can't make, but the team will work around it. Vrabel is hoping that the whole package for Mariota comes back this week against the Eagles. The injured QB only came into the game in Week 3 after […]

Blaine Gabbert Still In Concussion Protocol

Tennessee Titans quarterback Blaine Gabbert (head) remains in the concussion protocol after leaving the Week 3 game early, according to head coach Mike Vrabel. Gabbert had attempted only three passes before he left the game against the Jaguars on Sunday. With Marcus Mariota (elbow) playing the rest of the game in the win, it seems […]

Anthony Miller Day-To-Day

Chicago Bears rookie wide receiver Anthony Miller (shoulder) is being listed as day-to-day, according to head coach Matt Nagy. This is good news after Miller left with what looked like a serious shoulder injury in Week 3 against the Cardinals. The rookie wideout has eight catches on 11 targets for 60 yards and a touchdown […]

Marcus Peters Could Miss 2-4 Weeks

Los Angeles Rams cornerback Marcus Peters (calf) is believed to have suffered a calf strain in the Week 3 win over the Chargers, and he could miss two to four weeks, according to a source.

Olivier Vernon, Eli Apple Day-To-Day

New York Giants head coach Pat Shurmur said defensive end Olivier Vernon (ankle) and cornerback Eli Apple (groin) have improved and are day-to-day entering Week 4. Both players sat out in Week 3 against the Texans. Vernon is dealing with a high ankle sprain and hasn't practiced or played in the regular season. Getting both […]
