T.Y. Hilton Says He's Fine

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (quadriceps), who was held out of practice on Wednesday, said he's fine. "I'm feeling good. I'm still getting there. I should be fine. Nothing to worry about," Hilton said Thursday. He played 54 of the team's 90 offensive snaps in the Week 2 win over the Redskins and had […]

Joe Mixon Feels Great After Surgery

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (knee) said he feels "great" and is walking after having arthroscopic knee surgery four days ago. He's expected to be out two to four weeks and is now going through the recovery process. "Just me going out there being comfortable cutting and running around to my comfortability," Mixon told […]

Nico Hoerner To Play In AFL

Chicago Cubs shortstop Nico Hoerner (elbow), the team's No. 6 prospect, is getting ready for the Arizona Fall League by working out at the team's facility in Arizona. The team's first-round pick this year was shut down in July with an injury to ligaments in his left elbow. He'll play for the Mesa Solar Sox, […]

Pedro Strop Expects To Return By End Of Season

Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Pedro Strop (hamstring), who has been out with a right hamstring strain since last Thursday, is making progress and said on Wednesday that he expects to return to game action by the end of the regular season. "Everything is pain-free. We're not trying to do too much," Strop said. "We're letting […]

Eduardo Nunez Injures Knee Wednesday

Boston Red Sox infielder Eduardo Nunez (knee) left the game in the ninth inning on Wednesday with pain in his right knee. The knee has bothered him over the last week, and he will not play on Thursday as a result. "He felt it a little bit when he was running to first," manager Alex […]

Joe Haden Expected To Return In Week 3

Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Joe Haden (hamstring) should be able to return in Week 3 against the Buccaneers on Monday night. Haden has made good progress since sitting out last week's loss to the Chiefs. While Haden isn't an IDP force, his veteran presence should help a secondary that hasn't fared well to begin the season. […]

Devin Mesoraco To Play Friday

New York Mets catcher Devin Mesoraco (neck) will catch starting pitcher Jacob deGrom on Friday, according to manager Mickey Callaway. Mesoraco hasn't played since Sept. 3 and is hitting just .213/.295/.374 with 10 home runs and 29 RBI on the season. He's not worth your attention in fantasy to close out the year.

Jorge Lopez Expected To Start Thursday

Kansas City Royals manager Ned Yost expects starting pitcher Jorge Lopez (rib) to make his scheduled start against the Tigers on Thursday. Lopez threw around 50 pitches in a side session on Tuesday and played catch on Wednesday. He is day-to-day but continues to make progress. Lopez left his start early last Friday after crashing […]

Kyle Freeland To Start Sunday Against Arizona

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Kyle Freeland, not Jon Gray, will make the start this Sunday against the Diamondbacks. Freeland was previously scheduled to start on Monday against the Phillies. Gray has a 10.80 ERA while allowing five home runs, nine walks and a .349 opponent's average in just 10 innings over his last three starts. […]

Trevor Story Could Return This Weekend

Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story (elbow), who doesn't have structural damage in his right elbow, could return this weekend against the Diamondbacks. He will head to the team's spring training facility in Arizona on Thursday to get more treatment and "maybe do a few baseball activities over there," according to manager Bud Black. Story said […]

Russell Wilson On Week 3 Injury Report

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson (hamstring) got in a full practice on Wednesday. Also practicing in full were cornerback Tre Flowers (hamstring) and linebacker Bobby Wright (groin). Wilson will be fine for Week 3 against the Cowboys, but he should be downgraded to a QB2 moving forward. He just hasn't had any time to throw […]

Doug Baldwin, K.J. Wright Not At Practice

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin (knee) and linebacker K.J. Wright (knee) did not practice on Wednesday. Baldwin is highly doubtful to return this week, and he might be unlikely to play in Week 4 as well. He should remain stashed in all leagues, though, as he'll be the top receiver when he returns. Seattle's […]

Brandon Belt Could Have Surgery Soon

San Francisco Giants first baseman Brandon Belt (knee) is heading back to San Francisco for another MRI exam on his knee, and he could have surgery soon. Manager Bruce Bochy acknowledged that Belt's season is likely over. Belt has been out of the lineup more often than not down the stretch, so this shouldn't come […]

Antonio Brown To Be In Game Plan

Despite being disciplined by Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin on Wednesday, wide receiver Antonio Brown is expected to be in the game plan in Week 3 against the Buccaneers on Monday night as the team seeks its first win of the season. Tight end Jesse James said Brown practiced fully on Wednesday and is […]

Marshawn Lynch Limited Wednesday

Oakland Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch (shoulder) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Lynch is in no danger of sitting out in Week 3 against the Dolphins. Beast Mode has scored on the ground in both weeks so far, but he's averaging just 3.7 yards per carry on 29 total attempts. He'll remain in the […]

Trevor Cahill Has Successful Bullpen Wednesday

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Trevor Cahill (back) threw a bullpen session on Wednesday and said he felt good. He's ready for his next scheduled start, whenever the team determines that will be. Cahill has been solid for the A's and fantasy owners in his 19 starts this year, but he'll likely only make one more […]

No Practice For Jaquiski Tartt

San Francisco 49ers safety Jaquiski Tartt (shoulder) did not practice on Wednesday. Tartt is a strong IDP defensive back when he's on the field, but it remains to be seen if he can play this weekend against a very strong Chiefs offense. The 26-year-old has eight tackles in the first two games of the season. […]

Antonio Gates Misses Practice Wednesday

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Antonio Gates (illness) did not practice on Wednesday. The aging veteran is likely to miss practice more often than not this year in what is likely his final NFL season. He put up a donut in Week 2 against Buffalo and has just two catches on three targets for 16 […]

Melvin Gordon Practicing In Full

Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon (neck) practiced in full on Wednesday. Gordon will be fine for Week 3 against the Rams. Even in a tough matchup, Gordon is a must-start, especially now that he's being more involved in the passing game. He had just nine carries in an easy win over Buffalo last […]

Travis Benjamin Limited Wednesday

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Travis Benjamin (foot) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Benjamin sat out in the Week 2 win over the Bills, but it looks like he'll have a shot to return in a tough matchup against the Rams on Sunday. Benjamin had some bad drops in the season opener and remains […]

Taijuan Walker To Begin Throwing Program Monday

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Taijuan Walker (elbow) will begin his throwing program on Monday and will start playing catch at 45 feet. Walker made three starts this year before undergoing Tommy John surgery in April. He might have a shot to be ready in the early months of next season, but he probably won't be […]

Greg Zuerlein Out 3-6 Weeks

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said kicker Greg Zuerlein (groin) will be sidelined for three to six weeks. It's a blow to the Rams special teams unit, as Zuerlein has one of the strongest legs in the league. Sam Ficken was signed to replace him this week. Zuerlein owners can cut bait and […]

Mark Barron Unlikely To Play In Week 3

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said linebacker Mark Barron (Achilles) is unlikely to play in Week 3 against the Chargers. The middle of the Rams defense remains somewhat of a weakness with Barron out, but their defense/special teams remains a strong fantasy unit moving forward, even against the Chargers this weekend.

Aaron Rodgers Concerned He'll Make Knee Worse

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (knee) is concerned that his left knee could worsen if he continues to play on it. He played with a brace on his knee in Week 2 against the Vikings and made it through the whole game, but he admitted that his knee "obviously won't be 100 percent, so […]

Connor Sadzeck To Serve As Opener Friday

Texas Rangers relief pitcher Connor Sadzeck will serve as the opener on Friday against the Mariners, with Ariel Jurado following him. Sadzeck hasn't allowed a run while striking out five over 6 1/3 innings in eight outings (one start) for the Rangers this year, but he isn't on the fantasy radar in an opening role. […]

Chance Sisco Won't Go On Road Trip

Baltimore Orioles catcher Chance Sisco (concussion) will not travel with the team unless he's cleared from the concussion protocol. With Baltimore having nothing to play for, it doesn't make sense for them to rush their young catcher back. Sisco is hitting just .181/.288/.269 with two home runs and 16 RBI in 160 at-bats for Baltimore […]

Chris Davis Has Stiff Neck

Updating a previous report, Baltimore Orioles first baseman Chris Davis (neck) is out of the starting lineup with a stiff neck on Wednesday. It doesn't sound lIke Davis' injury will keep him out for long, so consider the power hitter day-to-day. He continues to be a massive disappointment, hitting an embarrassing .171/.246/.302 with only 16 […]

Austin Romine Available Off Bench

New York Yankees catcher Austin Romine (neck) was unavailable on Tuesday after he woke up with stiffness in his neck. However, he's feeling better on Wednesday and is expected to be available off the bench. Romine was a decent fill-in for Gary Sanchez when he was injured earlier this year, and he has hit .248/.302/.430 […]

James Paxton, Felix Hernandez To Throw Bullpens On Friday

Seattle Mariners starting pitchers James Paxton (illness) and Felix Hernandez (hamstring) will both rejoin the team and throw bullpen sessions on Friday before manager Scott Servais decides whether they'll start in the final week of the season. Paxton would like to get to two more starts to push his innings up to around 160 for […]

Cardinals Work Out Kendall Wright

Arizona Cardinals head coach Steve Wilks said the team worked out free-agent wide receiver Kendall Wright, but the team will not sign him. The Cardinals haven't been happy with the production from their receivers behind Larry Fitzgerald, but the whole offense has been dreadful so far and has produced just six points in two weeks. […]
