Erik Swoope Added To Roster

The Indianapolis Colts promoted tight end Erik Swoope from the practice squad to the active roster on Saturday and waived cornerback Lenzy Pipkins in a corresponding move. The team also signed quarterback Phillip Walker to the practice squad. Swoope caught one pass for 13 yards in the season opener against the Bengals. He's merely depth […]

Francisco Cervelli Leaves With Stomach Pain

Pittsburgh Pirates catcher Francisco Cervelli (stomach) left the game early on Friday with gastrointestinal discomfort. Cervelli had a hit and run scored in two plate appearances before leaving. The backstop has missed time with concussions this year, so thankfully this is something that should have him back in the lineup soon. Cervelli is batting .256/.376/.419 […]

Cramping Ends Kolten Wong's Night Early

St. Louis Cardinals second baseman Kolten Wong left the game early on Friday due to cramping. Wong had two singles and two RBI in three plate appearances before departing. He has spent several stints on the disabled list this year due to various ailments and is hitting .251/.333/.391 with only nine home runs, 38 RBI […]

Austin Voth To Start Saturday, Tanner Roark To Go Wednesday

Washington Nationals pitcher Austin Voth will make the start on Saturday against the Mets instead of starter Tanner Roark, according to manager Dave Martinez. Roark has been on paternity leave all week, so they don't want to rush him back. He is likely to make his next start on Wednesday against the Marlins. Voth has […]

Josh Rosen Could Make Debut This Sunday

Arizona Cardinals head coach Steve Wilks said it's "hard to determine" when the right time to play rookie quarterback Josh Rosen is, but ESPN's Josh Weinfuss would not be surprised if Rosen sees the field this Sunday against the Bears if the offense under Sam Bradford continues to struggle. The Cardinals have just one touchdown […]

Reshad Jones Expected To Play

Miami Dolphins safety Reshad Jones (shoulder), who is questionable for Week 3 against the Raiders, is expected to play on Sunday. Jones is one of the more attractive IDP safeties in the league and has six tackles and two interceptions through two weeks. If he's on the field, it'll be a downgrade for Raiders quarterback […]

Kenyan Drake, DeVante Parker, Ryan Tannehill Off Injury Report

Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake (abdomen), wide receiver Devante Parker (finger) and quarterback Ryan Tannehill (ankle, knee) all practiced in full on Friday and have been removed from the Week 3 injury report against the Raiders. Drake will be the starting running back and is a strong RB2 against a weak Raiders front. Tannehill […]

Evan Engram Removed From Injury Report

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram (ankle) and wide receiver Kaelin Clay (ankle) practiced in full on Friday and were removed from the final injury report for Week 3 against the Texans. Engram has nine catches on 12 targets for 85 yards and a touchdown in two weeks and is a strong TE1 option […]

Case Keenum Not On Injury Report

Denver Broncos quarterback Case Keenum (knee) practiced in full on Friday and was removed from the final Week 3 injury report against the Ravens. Keenum doesn't have a very high fantasy ceiling despite the team being 2-0, and he's thrown more interceptions than touchdowns through two weeks. The matchup against Baltimore isn't very enticing either, […]

Ji-Man Choi Injured Friday

Tampa Bay Rays first baseman Ji-Man Choi (knee) left the game early on Friday with left knee soreness. Choi was productive before leaving, posting two hits (one double) and two runs scored in three plate appearances. The left-handed slugger is a part-time player for Tampa and is hitting .267/.350/.513 with 10 home runs and 32 […]

Trevor Story Could Be Back In 2-3 More Days

Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story (elbow) remained out of the starting lineup on Friday against the Diamondbacks, but the good news is that manager Bud Black said the superstar might only be out two or three more games. The All-Star shortstop missed two games in Los Angeles after hurting his right elbow while diving and […]

Logan Forsythe Dealing With Knee Issue

Minnesota Twins second baseman Logan Forsythe (knee) was out of the starting lineup on Friday after he woke up and his left knee "was not functioning correctly," according to manager Paul Molitor. It doesn't sound particularly encouraging, but we'll have to wait and see how much time he might miss. Forsythe did very little with […]

Eddie Rosario Unlikely To Play Again This Year

Minnesota Twins outfielder Eddie Rosario (quadriceps), whose MRI exam showed inflammation, is "fairly unlikely" to play again this season, according to manager Paul Molitor. Rosario limped to the finish line but had a great season overall, hitting .288/.323/.479 with 24 home runs, 77 RBI, 87 runs scored and eight stolen bases in 138 games. You […]

Jose Peraza Was Scratched Friday

Cincinnati Reds infielder Jose Peraza (illness) was scratched from the starting lineup on Friday due to illness. Dilson Herrera hit second, while Blake Trahan filled in at shortstop and hit eighth. Peraza has been great for fantasy owners this year, hitting .290/.328/.419 with 13 home runs, 56 RBI, 84 runs scored and 23 stolen bases. […]

Earl Thomas May Not Play Sunday

Seattle Seahawks free safety Earl Thomas missed practice on Friday due to personal reasons, and head coach Pete Carroll wouldn't say if Thomas would be available for Week 3 against the Cowboys. Dallas and Seattle discussed a potential trade of Thomas all offseason, but Seattle's price was always too high. It's unclear if Thomas actually […]

Hector Velazquez Likely To Start Sunday

Boston Red Sox starter Hector Velazquez is likely to start on Sunday against the Indians. Velazquez has been pretty good this year with a 3.19 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 49 strikeouts in 79 innings over 43 outings (seven starts). However, he hasn't been as effective as a starter (4.00 ERA, 1.63 WHIP, 6.7 K/9) as […]

Chris Sale Set To Go Five Innings Friday

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Chris Sale is scheduled to go five innings or 75 pitches against the Indians on Friday. Sale is slowly getting stretched out after coming off a left shoulder injury. Even with less than a full workload on Friday, Sale is a fine starting option against a team that doesn't really […]

Buck Showalter To Be Let Go

Baltimore Orioles manager Buck Showalter is expected to be dismissed by the team at the end of the season. General manager Dan Duquette is expected to receive a contract extension. The Orioles are far and away the worst team in baseball in 2018 and are in the middle of a full-on rebuild, so they will […]

James Paxton Hopes To Start Monday Or Tuesday

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher James Paxton (illness) is throwing a full bullpen session on Friday and is hoping he can start either Monday or Tuesday against the A's. If Paxton goes on Monday, there's a chance he could make two starts two finish out what has been a fine season for him. However, the left-hander […]

Lance McCullers Jr. Could Be Activated Monday

Houston Astros starting pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. (forearm) threw a successful simulated game in Florida on Friday and will rejoin the team. The earliest he will be activated from the disabled list will be on Monday, according to manager A.J. Hinch. McCullers hasn't pitched in the big leagues since Aug. 4, so he'll pitch out […]

Carlos Correa To Miss Rest Of Homestand

Houston Astros shortstop Carlos Correa (back) will be shut down for the rest of the homestand due to lingering back soreness. He will accompany the team on the road trip and will resume playing then, according to manager A.J. Hinch. Since returning from his initial back injury on Aug. 10, Correa is hitting just .174/.257/.223 […]

Tanner Roark's Next Start Undecided

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Tanner Roark, who has been away from the team the last four days to be with his pregnant wife, still does not know if he will make the start on Saturday against the Mets. It'd surely be a good matchup for those owners still looking to stream this late in the […]

Adam Eaton Out With Knee Issues

Washington Nationals outfielder Adam Eaton (knee) has been out of the lineup of late because of an aching left knee. With the Nationals not making the playoffs, there's no reason to push Eaton the rest of the way. Instead, the team will likely want to get a look at outfield prospect Victor Robles, who is […]

Alex Cobb Feeling Better

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Alex Cobb (finger) said the blister on his finger is feeling much better, and he'll throw a light bullpen session on Friday. Cobb is optimistic that he can make another start before the end of the season. The blister issue has limited Cobb of late, but he's been fantastic in the […]

Victor Martinez To Play In Final Game Saturday

Detroit Tigers designated hitter Victor Martinez will play in the final game of his career this Saturday. He will not be in the lineup on Sunday. He will travel with the team on their road trip to close out the year next week but will not play. It's been an illustrious career for V-Mart, but […]

Mark Barron Doubtful For Week 3

Los Angeles Rams linebacker Mark Barron (ankle) did not practice all week and is doubtful for Week 3 against the Chargers. Barron has yet to play this year but will attempt to make it back in time for Week 4. Without him in the middle it makes the Rams weak, but they more than make […]

Richard Sherman Will Play Sunday

San Francisco 49ers cornerback Richard Sherman (heel) practiced in full on Friday and is no longer on the final injury report for Week 3 against the Chiefs. It's good news, as the team might be without safety Jaquiski Tartt (shoulder) against a high-flying Chiefs offense this Sunday.

Jaquiski Tartt Questionable For Sunday

San Francisco 49ers safety Jaquiski Tartt (shoulder) was limited in practice on Friday and is questionable for Week 3 against the Chiefs. Tartt is relevant in IDP leagues, but you may need to find another option this weekend. After not practicing Wednesday or Thursday, it's a good sign that he was able to at least […]

Spencer Ware Questionable Against 49ers

Kansas City Chiefs running back Spencer Ware (knee) was limited in practice and is questionable for Week 3 against the 49ers. It's a new injury for Ware, so he might not be able to suit up on Sunday as Kareem Hunt's main backup. If Ware cannot play, expect Damien Williams and rookie Darrel Williams to […]

Christian Kirk Taken Off Injury Report

Arizona Cardinals rookie wide receiver Christian Kirk (back) practiced in full on Friday and was removed from the final injury report for Week 3 against the Bears. Kirk was involved in a minor car accident on Thursday and didn't practice. He should be fine for this weekend. The rookie had plenty of hype coming into […]
