Lance McCullers Jr. To Throw Bullpen Saturday

Houston Astros starting pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. (forearm) will head to Florida to throw a bullpen session on Saturday. McCullers threw around 40 pitches in a bullpen session on Tuesday and said it was a step forward, so he's obviously getting closer to a return and should be able to make a few starts before […]

C.J. Prosise May Be Moved To Receiver

Seattle Seahawks running back C.J. Prosise may be moved to receiver with the team hurting at the position with Doug Baldwin (knee) expected to miss a couple of weeks. “We’ve been talking about it,” head coach Pete Carroll told reporters on Tuesday. “He does have the background [with] a couple years in college.” Prosise is […]

DeSean Jackson Very Questionable For Week 2

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson (shoulder, concussion) is dealing with a shoulder injury and is a major question mark to play in Week 2 against the Eagles. Jackson is also dealing with a concussion he suffered late in the Week 1 win against the Saints. Two injuries are definitely not better than one. […]

Maikel Franco Injured After Fall Into Camera Well

Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Maikel Franco (shoulder, neck) left the game early on Tuesday after falling over the railing while trying to make a catch in foul territory. He is dealing with a shoulder contusion and neck tightness and could easily be held out a few days as a result. It's a shame, as Franco […]

Johan Camargo Injured Tuesday

Atlanta Braves third baseman Johan Camargo (groin) left the game early on Tuesday with left groin tightness. Camargo was hitless in two plate appearances before departing the contest. He has held his own as the regular third baseman this year, hitting .274/.354/.468 with 18 home runs, 58 runs scored and 70 RBI on the season. […]

Alex Cobb's Blister Issues Resurface

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Alex Cobb (finger) left his start early against the A's with a blister that opened up on his finger in the second inning on Tuesday. Manager Buck Showalter said Cobb will be day-to-day and said he expects the pitcher to make another start this season. The right-hander allowed a hit while […]

Vernon Hargreaves May Have Serious Injury

Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Vernon Hargreaves (shoulder) may have a serious shoulder injury and will be examined by Dr. James Andrews on Wednesday. Hargreaves was injured late in the Week 1 win over the Saints and could be looking at an extended absence, possibly for the rest of the season. With Brent Grimes also hurt, […]

Pharoh Cooper May Need Surgery

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Pharoh Cooper (ankle) "might be out for some time," according to head coach Sean McVay. It's sounding like Cooper may need to undergo surgery. Cooper is mainly a special teams kick returner, so while he doesn't have individual fantasy value, his loss could affect the return game a bit. LA's […]

Martavis Bryant Re-Signing With Raiders

The Oakland Raiders are re-signing wide receiver Martavis Bryant to a one-year deal on Tuesday, according to a source. The Raiders released Bryant recently because they were concerned about a suspension for violating the league's substance-abuse policy again. There's still a chance that Bryant could be suspended for an entire year by the NFL, which […]

Doug Baldwin Could Miss A Couple Weeks

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said wide receiver Doug Baldwin (knee) could be a out "a couple weeks" after suffering a Grade 2 partial MCL tear in his right knee in Week 1 against the Broncos. The Seahawks aren't expecting to have Baldwin available in Week 2 on Monday night against the Bears or […]

Brandon Belt Still Dealing With Knee Soreness

San Francisco Giants first baseman Brandon Belt (knee) remains out of the lineup again on Tuesday due to more knee soreness. With the Giants not in playoff contention, Belt will likely see many more rest days down the stretch, and he could need offseason surgery to fix his knee. Don't expect much meaningful contributions from […]

Felix Hernandez Feeling OK

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Felix Hernandez (hamstring) said his hamstring feels "okay" and that doctors told him he's dealing with a low-grade strain. Manager Scott Servais said the training staff will decide if he's cleared to pitch on Saturday against the Angels. If Hernandez can't go, starter Erasmo Ramirez would move up a day. King […]

Nick Tropeano's Season Is Over

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Nick Tropeano (shoulder) will not pitch again this year after he had a setback in his recovery last week. He will receive a platelet-rich plasma shot in his shoulder on Friday, which he hopes will take care of the bursitis in his arm without surgery. The 28-year-old wasn't much of […]

Hisashi Iwakuma Heading Back To Japan

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Hisashi Iwakuma will head back to Japan to continue his playing career. Iwakuma had not pitched at all in 2018 and last pitched in the major leagues in May of 2017 due to right shoulder issues. He obviously wasn't anywhere close to the fantasy radar this season.

Jean Segura Out With Virus

Seattle Mariners shortstop Jean Segura (illness) is out of the starting lineup due to some sort of virus that is going around the clubhouse on Tuesday. Segura is one of the most valuable shortstops in fantasy, hitting .310 with nine homers, 60 RBI, 82 runs scored and 20 stolen bases on the year. Consider him […]

Several Others Work Out For Patriots

The New England Patriots also tried out free-agent running backs Orleans Darkwa, Charles Sims and wide receiver Brandon Tate on Tuesday. Tate was the team's third-round pick in 2009. New England already signed wideouts Corey Coleman and Bennie Fowler and running back Kenjon Barner on Tuesday, so it's unclear if they will add any more […]

Ryder Jones To Have Multiple Procedures Wednesday

San Francisco Giants first baseman Ryder Jones (knee), who will have surgery to fix his patella on Wednesday, will also have a cleanup procedure to fix tendinitis in the same knee. He expects to hit off a tee and take ground balls by Christmas after his knee was bugging him all season. Jones was going […]

Matt Davidson Out With General Soreness

Chicago White Sox third baseman/first baseman Matt Davidson is out of the lineup on Tuesday with general soreness after playing first base extensively when Jose Abreu was on the shelf. Davidson has now been on the bench the last two games. The slugging corner infielder has 20 homers and 58 RBI on the year, but […]

Aaron Judge To Hit Wednesday

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said outfielder Aaron Judge (wrist) will take batting practice again on Wednesday. "We have a little bit of an idea of timeline but I'd rather it continue to unfold every day. He'll hit again tomorrow. I think the work is pretty extensive hopefully over the weekend. We'll probably have […]

Keenan Reynolds Added To Active Roster

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said the team has added wide receiver Keenan Reynolds to the active roster from the practice squad with Doug Baldwin (knee) possibly out a couple of weeks. Reynolds will strictly be providing depth to a thin receiving corps and isn't an option for fantasy owners. Tyler Lockett will be […]

Chris Carson Solidifies Spot As Lead Back

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said running back Chris Carson "really took the lead at that position" in Week 1 against the Broncos, while the coach said rookie Rashaad Penny "looked a little rusty." Carson was the clear top back in training camp and the preseason, while Penny missed valuable repetitions with his finger […]

Eagles Re-Signing Kamar Aiken

The Philadelphia Eagles are re-signing wide receiver Kamar Aiken on Tuesday, according to his agent. Aiken was cut from the team in training camp and will provide depth until Alshon Jeffery (shoulder) is able to make a return. Aiken had 15 catches for 133 yards and no touchdowns in 15 games for the Colts in […]

Martavis Bryant Considering Return To Oakland

Free-agent wide receiver Martavis Bryant was at the team's facility on Tuesday and is talking with the team about a return, according to sources. It has been rumored that Bryant is facing a year-long suspension, but nothing is official yet. After Amari Cooper and Jordy Nelson combined for four catches in Week 1 against the […]

Brett Anderson Listed As Thursday Starter

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Brett Anderson (forearm) is currently listed to start against the Orioles on Thursday. Anderson hasn't pitched since Aug. 27, but he immediately is on the streaming radar against the worst team in baseball. The left-hander doesn't strike out many (4.7 K/9) but those in deeper leagues will surely have worse options […]

Kevin Johnson Placed On IR

The Houston Texans placed cornerback Kevin Johnson (concussion) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday. Johnson will be eligible to return but must sit out at least eight weeks. Johnson's absence will make the team's secondary much weaker, but their strong defensive front could make up for it. The Texans defense/special teams is definitely worth starting in […]

Eagles Work Out Paxton Lynch, Among Others

The Philadelphia Eagles worked out free-agent quarterback Paxton Lynch, running backs Fitzgerald Toussaint and Martez Carter and wide receivers Kamar Aiken, Breshad Perriman and Shane Wynn on Tuesday. With quarterback Carson Wentz (knee) and wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (shoulder) still ailing, the Eagles are looking for some depth in those areas. None of these players […]

Brian Hill Promoted To Active Roster

The Atlanta Falcons promoted running back Brian Hill off the practice squad to the active roster on Tuesday. The team also signed wide receiver Julian Williams to the practice squad and waived defensive tackle Jacob Tuioti-Mariner. Hill ran for 87 yards on 11 carries (5.1 yards per carry) in the preseason, but he'll just provide […]

Jedd Gyorko Expected To Return Thursday

St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Jedd Gyorko (groin) is expected to be activated from the disabled list on Thursday, provided he suffers no setbacks before then. Gyorko might be more of a utility player down the stretch for the Cardinals, which will limit his fantasy value to mostly NL-only leagues. The 29-year-old is hitting .267/.348/.436 […]

Mike Montgomery To Start Thursday

Chicago Cubs pitcher Mike Montgomery is in line to start against the Nationals on Thursday in a makeup game. Montgomery has certainly been an asset for the Cubs in the absence of Yu Darvish this year, and he has helped fantasy owners as a streamer for most of the year. The left-hander has a 3.85 […]

Dan Straily May Not Pitch Again This Year

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Dan Straily (oblique) felt some pain while playing catch on Tuesday, and manager Don Mattingly said that it's possible that Straily might not pitch again this year. We'd bet on Straily not seeing the mound again after injuring his oblique last Friday. Oblique injuries often require lengthy absences for pitchers, and […]
