Ravens Interested In Re-Signing Michael Campanaro

The Baltimore Ravens are interested in re-signing wide receiver/kick returner Michael Campanaro. He led the AFC in punt returns in 2017 but had just 19 catches for 173 yards and a touchdown in 13 games. Campanaro isn't worthwhile to fantasy owners unless you're in an extremely deep league that counts return yardage.

Kyle Rudolph Has Cast Removed

Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph (ankle) had his cast removed Thursday and expects to be ready by June. Barring a setback, Rudolph should be all systems go for training camp this summer. He had 57 catches for 532 yards and matched a team high with eight touchdown catches in 16 games. Rudolph's numbers tailed […]

Titans Cut Matt Cassel, Eric Weems

The Tennessee Titans are releasing quarterback Matt Cassel and wide receiver Eric Weems on Friday. Cassel made one start in place of Marcus Mariota last year, going 21-for-32 for 141 yards with a touchdown. Weems saw very limited offensive snaps and hauled in just one catch for five yards in 2017. He has a whopping […]

Adalberto Mondesi, Bubba Starling Still Sidelined

Kansas City Royals second baseman Adalberto Mondesi (shoulder) and outfielder Bubba Starling (oblique) both remain sidelined in camp. Mondesi will not throw for the next five days, while Starling will be out for a while and is a candidate to open the year on the disabled list, according to manager Ned Yost. Neither player really […]

Erasmo Ramirez Could Be Cleared To Throw Saturday

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Erasmo Ramirez (shoulder) will meet with a team doctor Friday and could be cleared to play catch Saturday. Manager Scott Servais isn't ruling Ramirez out to open the year as the fifth starter, but with off days, the M's won't need a fifth starter until mid-April. Because of that, the Mariners […]

Felix Hernandez To Throw Friday

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Felix Hernandez (forearm) will play catch again Friday and could move to a bullpen session soon, according to manager Scott Servais. Hernandez will likely need two to three starts in spring in order to be ready for the regular season. Time is running out for King Felix, but he could be […]

Zach Davies Throws Successful Bullpen

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Zach Davies (oblique) had no issues during a bullpen session Friday and is ready to move forward. That's great news, as oblique injuries can keep pitchers out for extended absences. As long as the right-hander doesn't have a setback for the rest of spring, he should be ready for the regular […]

Starlin Castro Looks To Be Favorite For Three-Hole

Miami Marlins second baseman Starlin Castro has mostly been hitting in the three spot in the batting order this spring, and manager Don Mattingly plans on mainly using Castro in the third spot during the season. The 27-year-old will hit in front of cleanup hitter Justin Bour. Castro has posted a career slash line of […]

J.T. Realmuto Scratched With Knee Contusion

Miami Marlins catcher J.T. Realmuto (knee) was scratched from Grapefruit League action with a left knee contusion Friday. The injury doesn't look to be very serious, so Realmuto should be fine. Despite the Marlins roster overhaul over the winter, Realmuto remains a top-five fantasy catcher, although his run and RBI totals will surely suffer in […]

Muhammad Wilkerson To Visit With Saints

Free-agent defensive lineman Muhammad Wilkerson left his visit with the Packers without a deal and will meet with the New Orleans Saints next, according to sources. Wilkerson wore out his welcome with the Jets after signing a big extension, but a change of scenery may serve him well. The Saints could really use help on […]

Bucs Re-Sign Ryan Fitzpatrick

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers agreed to re-sign quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick. Fitz was forced into starting several games for Tampa last year with Jameis Winston injured, and the Amish Rifle had a 58.9 completion percentage with 1,103 yards, seven touchdowns and three interceptions. Fitzpatrick is an above-average backup in the NFL but isn't on the fantasy […]

Richard Sherman Likely To Be Released

Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman is likely to be released by Friday, barring something unexpected. Seattle has explored trade options for Sherman, but nothing has materialized. He's due an $11 million salary in 2018 and is coming off two Achilles surgeries. The Seahawks are open to re-signing him at a lesser cost, but it's believed […]

Jose Bautista Not Considering Retirement

Free-agent outfielder Jose Bautista said he is not considering retirement. “Right now I’m just considering my options, and it depends on two criteria,” Bautista said in a phone conversation. “That’s winning and making sure that my family’s in a good situation.” The 37-year-old has major league offers on the table but is weighing his options. […]

Felix Hernandez Throws Thursday

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Felix Hernandez (forearm) had a successful throwing session Thursday, according to pitching coach Mel Stottlemyre Jr. Hernandez made 40 throws off flat ground. "He was freer and easier today,'' Stottlemyre said. As long as King Felix doesn't have anymore setbacks, he should be good to go for the regular season. But […]

Ichiro Suzuki To Play Regularly

Seattle Mariners veteran outfielder Ichiro Suzuki is expected to play four to six days a week to begin the season, at least until outfielder Ben Gamel's (oblique) return, according to general manager Jerry Dipoto. Helping Suzuki's cause is the fact that both Mitch Haniger and Guillermo Heredia have been dealing with injuries in spring training, […]

Mitch Haniger To Take BP Saturday

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger (hand) will hit live batting practice against relief pitcher Nick Vincent on Saturday, and he could be cleared to participate in spring games after that. Injuries have been the problem so far for Haniger in his two seasons in the big leagues, but he's been adequate for fantasy owners when […]

Zack Greinke's Velocity Is Down

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Zack Greinke's velocity has been down this spring, and he said he has a fear that he doesn't have it anymore. Greinke typically has reservations every year about his velocity, but this is something to watch as we near the regular season. The veteran right-hander went 17-7 last year with a […]

Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie May Not Switch Positions

New York Giants cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie may not be moving from corner to free safety in 2018. There were reports last week that the 31-year-old would return for the final year of his deal at a new position, but that has been news to the Giants coaches. He's scheduled to make $6.48 million in 2018 […]

Broncos Exercise Chris Harris' Option

The Denver Broncos exercised cornerback Chris Harris Jr.'s $1.1 million option for the 2018 season, according to a league source. The 28-year-old has developed into one of the top cornerbacks in the NFL, and they'll need him to step up even more with Aqib Talib likely to be traded to open up some salary cap […]

Stedman Bailey Trying To Make Comeback

Former St. Louis Rams wide receiver Stedman Bailey, whose football career came to an abrupt end at the time when he was shot twice in the head in 2015, worked out at Marshall's Pro Day recently and is attempting to make a comeback. The 27-year-old is now a free agent and is free to sign […]

Ravens Could Go QB In First Round

While it's highly unlikely, the Baltimore Ravens could decide to take a quarterback at 16th overall in the first round of this year's draft. NFL Network draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah projected the Ravens taking Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield at No. 16 in his latest mock draft. Joe Flacco is 33 years old, has suffered injuries […]

Jonathan Stewart Visiting Seahawks

Free-agent running back Jonathan Stewart is visiting the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday, according to a source. Seattle's ground game was one of the worst in the league in 2017, so they will look at all avenues to improve. However, the declining J-Stew probably isn't the answer after he posted a career-low 3.4 yards per carry […]

Jarvis Landry Signs Franchise Tender

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jarvis Landry signed his $15.982 million franchise tender Thursday, according to a source. The next item of business is for the Dolphins to trade Landry, as they are already over the salary cap with Landry on the books. No trade is imminent, however, and Miami may elect to wait until the […]

Clint Frazier Taking Things Slowly

New York Yankees outfielder Clint Frazier (concussion), who has had two MRI exams and a CT scan on his head, did 20 minutes on a bike, threw and did rotational exercises on Thursday. “It’s frustrating, but I’m trying not to mess around with this," Frazier said. He suffered a serious concussion after running into the […]

Stephen Vogt Works Out Pain-Free

Milwaukee Brewers catcher Stephen Vogt (shoulder) did some plyometric throwing drills Thursday and didn't have any pain. Vogt dealt with some shoulder soreness early in camp, but as long as he doesn't have any setbacks from here on out, he should be ready for Opening Day. However, he's not a lock for the final roster, […]

Zach Davies Not Concerned With Injury

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Zach Davies isn't concerned about his oblique injury and said he's "feeling really good." He will test it with a throwing program Thursday and will then throw a bullpen session Friday. This is good news, but oblique injuries can often be tricky for pitchers, so let's see how he comes out […]

Michael Conforto Takes BP Thursday

New York Mets outfielder Michael Conforto (shoulder) took full batting practice on the field Thursday and also shagged fly balls in center field, where he was seen sprinting around. He continues to progress from shoulder surgery and is targeting a May 1 return. Conforto seems to be way ahead of schedule from a serious shoulder […]

Andrew Norwell Expected To Sign With Giants

The belief is that free-agent offensive guard Andrew Norwell is a "done deal" to land with the New York Giants. New Giants general manager Dave Gettleman is familiar with Norwell from his time leading the Panthers and is expected to bring Norwell over to shore up New York's pitiful offensive line. Norwell is one of […]

Broncos Shopping Aqib Talib

Updating a previous report, the Denver Broncos are actively shopping cornerback Aqib Talib, according to a team source. General manager John Elway and 49ers GM John Lynch were engaged about talks for Talib, and both parties were making progress until Talib balked at that potential deal. Talib declined a trade to San Francisco and prefers […]

Patriots Are Aqib Talib's Top Choice

The Denver Broncos have had trade conversations concerning cornerback Aqib Talib with the San Francisco 49ers, but it doesn't look like a deal will get done, according to sources. Talib prefers to be released so that he can choose his next team, and the Patriots are his top choice, according to sources. The Broncos are […]
