Antonio Gates Hopeful Of Re-Signing With Chargers

Tom Condon, the agent for free-agent tight end Antonio Gates, said that he's hopeful his client will re-sign with the Los Angeles Chargers. Condon is actively negotiating with the team. Gates returning to the Bolts seemed inevitable ever since Hunter Henry blew out his knee in May. The future Hall of Famer is hardly the […]

D'Onta Foreman Lands On PUP

Houston Texans running back D'Onta Foreman (Achilles) will be on the Physically Unable to Perform list for the start of training camp. Foreman had two touchdowns last year but could be a breakout candidate if he can prove healthy in the preseason. The longer he's out, the more it benefits Lamar Miller, but Foreman is […]

Deshaun Watson, J.J. Watt Avoid PUP List

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson (knee) and defensive end J.J. Watt (knee) both avoided the Physically Unable to Perform list at the start of training camp. Watson was always expected to be ready for camp after tearing his ACL in his rookie season. Before his injury, he was one of the best fantasy quarterbacks in […]

Josh Allen Signs Rookie Deal

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen signed his four-year rookie deal on Wednesday. Financial terms of the deal aren't disclosed, but the deal will also include the standard fifth-year team option. Allen was the third quarterback selected in the draft at No. 7 overall and has a big arm and big future in the NFL, although […]

Browns Discussing Dez Bryant

The Cleveland Browns have discussed free-agent wide receiver Dez Bryant, according to general manager John Dorsey. It may only be because Josh Gordon won't be around for the start of training camp, and there are still questions about whether he'll contribute in 2018. Bryant turned down a deal with the Ravens but hasn't had any […]

Antonio Callaway, Jamie Collins Ready For Training Camp

Cleveland Browns rookie wide receiver Antonio Callaway (groin) and linebacker Jamie Collins (knee) are both ready for the start of training camp, according to head coach Hue Jackson. Callaway, a fourth-rounder, has tons of upside and makes this Cleveland receiving corps way better. Off-field issues in college caused him to fall in the draft. He […]

Browns GM Expects Josh Gordon To Play

Cleveland Browns general manager John Dorsey believes that wide receiver Josh Gordon will play in 2018. Gordon won't report for the start of training camp in order to stay healthy, but everyone is already beginning to wonder if he'll be suspended again because of his history of off-the-field problems. The talent is there, as he […]

Robby Anderson Will Report To Camp Thursday

New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson will report to training camp on Thursday despite the fact that he's still facing the possibility of a league suspension. His case is still being reviewed by the league under the personal-conduct policy, according to a league spokesman. Anderson pleaded no contest to misdemeanor reckless driving last month […]

Devin Funchess Not Worried About Contract

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Devin Funchess said he isn't concerned about an extension as he enters the final year of his contract. Funchess had a career year in 2017 but is due for a letdown after the Panthers added rookie D.J. Moore to the mix. Tight end Greg Olsen is also back and healthy, and […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Arrives At Training Camp

New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. has arrived at training camp on Wednesday. OBJ won't hold out despite trying to work out a contract extension with the team this offseason.

Jesse Winker Could Land On DL

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Jesse Winker (shoulder) has missed the last two games with a sore right shoulder and could land on the disabled list if he doesn't show improvement. "I'm concerned about it," president of baseball operations Dick Williams said. "We want to dig into it and make sure we have a really good handle […]

Titans, Taylor Lewan Making Progress On Extension

The Tennessee Titans and left tackle Taylor Lewan are making progress in contract extension talks, according to sources. This increases the likelihood that Lewan reports to training camp this week. Lewan is a top-10 left tackle in the NFL and is a great asset for quarterback Marcus Mariota and the running game in Tennessee.

Josh Doctson Expected To Be A Full Go In Camp

Washington Redskins wide receiver Josh Doctson (leg), who had a precautionary MRI on his leg, is expected to be a full participant in training camp practices. It's not a good sign that he's already injured, but it doesn't sound too serious. In his third year in the NFL, Doctson is expected to start and be […]

Jordan Reed, Trent Williams Expected To Be Eased In

Washington Redskins tight end Jordan Reed (toe) and offensive tackle Trent Williams (knee) are doing well from offseason surgeries but are expected to be eased into training camp as a precaution, according to a source. Reed has played in just 18 games in the last two seasons and has a lengthy injury history, so holding […]

Carson Wentz Likely To Land On PUP List

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz (knee) is likely to land on the Physically Unable to Perform list to begin training camp, according to sources. However, he can come off of it at any time and it won't be an indication that he won't be able to start the regular season on time. The Eagles are […]

Adam Frazier Recalled By Pirates

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Adam Frazier was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis on Wednesday. The team optioned reliever Casey Sadler to Indy in a corresponding move. Frazier was hitting just .239 with three home runs and eight RBI in 138 at-bats for the Bucs earlier this year. He's likely to be a utility player off the bench […]

Zach Davies Has Another Setback

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Zach Davies (back) had another setback in his recovery and will head for an MRI exam instead of starting his rehab assignment on Thursday. Davies hasn't pitched in a game since late May and hadn't really been effective before that with a 5.23 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 31 strikeouts in 43 […]

Andrew Miller Struggles In Rehab Appearance

Cleveland Indians relief pitcher Andrew Miller (knee) allowed four runs on two hits while walking one and hitting a batter in just one-third of an inning in his rehab outing for Double-A Akron on Tuesday. “I think I’m starting to check boxes. I feel healthy, which is good. It’s as good as I’ve felt in […]

Yu Darvish To Throw This Weekend

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Yu Darvish (triceps) will throw off a mound this weekend. Darvish is being brought along very slowly and has made minimal improvement. The Japanese right-hander hasn't pitched since May 20, so he'll likely need to go on a rehab assignment before returning to the rotation. He's been a huge disappointment for […]

DL Stint Is Possible For Kris Bryant

Chicago Cubs manager Joe Maddon wouldn't rule out another disabled list stint for third baseman Kris Bryant (shoulder). It's unclear if Bryant will be available to play on Thursday. Bryant has already spent around a month on the DL with the same injury, and it continues to bother him. He's hitting .276 with 11 home […]

Blaine Hardy Heading Back To Bullpen

Detroit Tigers pitcher Blaine Hardy will move back to the bullpen with the team going to a four-man rotation for the time being with a host of off days coming up. Overall, Hardy has a 3.77 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and just 44 strikeouts in 57 1/3 innings in 19 outings. The swing man has been […]

Jordan Lyles Hit Hard In Rehab Start

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Jordan Lyles (forearm) gave up seven runs in three innings with Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday on eight hits (one homer) while striking out two and walking two. He threw only 33 of his 56 pitches for strikes. He has allowed 11 runs in 5 2/3 innings and posted a […]

Scott Schebler Starting Rehab Assignment Wednesday

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Scott Schebler (shoulder) will begin his rehab assignment with Triple-A Louisville as the designated hitter on Wednesday. His shoulder remains sore when he throws but it's improving. Before his injury, Schebler was batting a respectable .278 with 12 homers and 37 RBI in 266 at-bats. He can definitely be useful to those […]

Brandon Morrow Still Sore

Chicago Cubs closer Brandon Morrow (biceps) said there's still a "little bit of soreness" in his arm, but he thinks he's "going in the right direction." It means that Morrow won't be back anytime soon. In the meantime, Pedro Strop is your best bet for saves in Chicago, but Steve Cishek and Carl Edwards Jr. […]

Wilson Ramos To Catch Batting Practice Saturday

Tampa Bay Rays catcher Wilson Ramos (hamstring) will catch a live batting practice session on Saturday and could go out on a rehab assignment after that. It means that Ramos could return at some point next week. He's been out since the All-Star break but has been one of the best fantasy catchers in all […]

Gary Sanchez Won't Return Soon

New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said the team expects catcher Gary Sanchez (groin) to return at the end of August or the beginning of September. While Sanchez does have 14 home runs and 42 RBI, he's been a disappointment this year for fantasy owners because of his injuries and his weak .188/.283/.416 slash […]

Gleyber Torres Back From DL And In Lineup

The New York Yankees activated second baseman Gleyber Torres (hip) from the 10-day disabled list on Wednesday, and he is batting fifth against Rays starter Ryne Stanek. Infielder Tyler Wade was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in a corresponding move. Torres should be re-inserted into all fantasy lineups immediately, as he was hitting .294 with 15 […]

Luis Cessa Making Start Wednesday

The New York Yankees called up pitcher Luis Cessa from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to make a spot start against the Rays on Wednesday. Cessa tossed six shutout innings against the Orioles in his last start for New York on July 9, so he might make for a decent streamer in deeper leagues against the Rays this […]

Ryne Stanek To Start Wednesday

Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Ryne Stanek will start for the team against the Yankees on Wednesday after the team traded starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi to the Red Sox. Eovaldi was originally scheduled to start on Wednesday for Tampa Bay. Stanek is unlikely to last very long in this game, and the Rays will likely piece […]

Walker Buehler Called Up To Start Wednesday

The Los Angeles Dodgers recalled starting pitcher Walker Buehler from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday, and he will make the start against the Phillies. Reliever Dylan Floro was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move. Buehler has been solid in the majors this year, going 4-2 with a 3.45 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 59 K's […]
