Brent Suter Expected To Go Back On DL

Milwaukee Brewers manager Craig Counsell said he expects starting pitcher Brent Suter (forearm) to go back on the disabled list for the second time with a left forearm strain. Suter will undergo an MRI exam to determine the severity of his injury. The left-hander allowed six runs on eight hits over just three innings against […]

Joey Gallo Suffers Ankle Sprain

Texas Rangers first baseman/outfielder Joey Gallo (ankle) was removed from the game early on Sunday due to a left ankle sprain. The severity of the injury is unknown at this time. Gallo is pretty much all power for fantasy owners, as he had 24 homers and 54 RBI coming into Sunday's game. On the flip […]

Justin Turner Expected To Land On DL

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said third baseman Justin Turner (groin) is likely to land back on the disabled list after aggravating his injury on Sunday. Turner's 2018 season has been defined by injuries, and he was returning after 11 games on the sidelines due to his right groin injury. Before Sunday, Turner was […]

Viral Illness Lands Noah Syndergaard On DL

New York Mets starting pitcher Noah Syndergaard (illness) landed back on the disabled list Sunday due to hand, foot and mouth disease -- a viral infection common in children. The team thinks Syndergaard contracted the illness while working a youth camp during the All-Star break. Assistant general manager John Ricco said there is a chance […]

Three More Teams Interested In Asdrubal Cabrera

The Brewers, Indians and Phillies are among the teams interested in New York Mets infielder Asdrubal Cabrera. He's having a fine season by hitting .280 with a .332 on-base percentage and 17 home runs. Perhaps his biggest asset is his versatility, both to real teams and fantasy owners. Cabrera is eligible at second base, shortstop […]

Giants, Red Sox Interested In Austin Jackson

The San Francisco Giants and Boston Red Sox are interested in free-agent outfielder Austin Jackson. The Giants recently traded Jackson to the Rangers in a salary dump. He'd have a better shot at playing time back in San Francisco, where he hit .242 with ho homers and 13 RBI in 149 at-bats earlier this year. […]

Joe Flacco Showing Athleticism In Training Camp

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco, who was sidelined with a back injury last year at camp, showed his athleticism on a run-pass option and sprinted 20 yards downfield on Sunday at training camp. "It looks like he’s moving and grooving better than he has in several years," offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg said. Flacco feels the […]

Edubray Ramos Lands On DL

The Philadelphia Phillies are putting relief pitcher Edubray Ramos (knee) on the disabled list before Game 2 of their doubleheader against the Padres on Sunday. Ramos tweaked his left knee in Game 1 and will miss some time. He's been great for the Phils this year with a 1.93 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 33 strikeouts […]

More Forearm Tightness For Brent Suter

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Brent Suter (forearm) left his start early with left forearm tightness on Sunday. It's the same injury that landed him on the disabled list before the All-Star break, and he seems primed to go back on the DL this time around. Suter had allowed six runs in three innings to the […]

Justin Turner Re-Injures Himself Sunday

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner (groin) left the game early in the third inning on Sunday after re-injuring his groin. It was his first start in 11 days. Turner broke out in 2017 but hasn't been able to recapture that magic this year, mainly due to injuries. He was batting only .256 with […]

Saquon Barkley Signs Rookie Deal

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley agreed to a four-year, fully-guaranteed contract worth $31.2 million on Sunday, according to a source. He'll receive a $20.76 million signing bonus and will be paid out $15 million immediately. Barkley was taken second overall in the draft and will immediately become the team's workhorse back in 2018. […]

Jadeveon Clowney Says He's Ready For Camp

Houston Texans linebacker Jadeveon Clowney (knee) said that he's ready for training camp. Clowney had offseason knee surgery but should be ready to go for Week 1. In a defense that could be a top-five option in fantasy, Clowney is a key piece after delivering career highs in tackles (59) and sacks 9.5 in his […]

Matt Cassel Expected To Win Backup Job

Detroit Lions quarterback Matt Cassel is expected to win the backup job over Jake Rudock. Rudock will be entering his third year behind Matthew Stafford, but Cassel has 13 years of NFL experience, including four seasons with head coach Matt Patricia from their time in New England. Cassel played in just parts of six games […]

Lamar Jackson Impressing In Training Camp

Baltimore Ravens rookie quarterback Lamar Jackson is impressing offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg at training camp. "He’s done an outstanding job up to date," Mornhinweg said. "He’s way ahead of the curve now." It's not good for incumbent starter Joe Flacco, who has been wildly mediocre in his career for fantasy owners. Flacco is set to […]

Eli Rogers To Work Out For Chiefs

Free-agent wide receiver Eli Rogers (knee) is scheduled to work out for the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, according to a source. Rogers tore the ACL in his knee in January during the playoffs but has made a quick recovery. He caught only 18 passes for 149 yards with one touchdown in 14 games in […]

Sony Michel Agrees To Rookie Deal

The New England Patriots and rookie running back Sony Michel agreed to terms on a four-year deal on Sunday in advance of the rookies reporting to camp, according to a source. Michel was drafted in the first round and is expected to play a lot despite a crowded backfield that also includes Rex Burkhead and […]

Mark Canha Dealing With Hamstring Cramps

Oakland Athletics outfielder Mark Canha (hamstring) dealt with hamstring cramps on Saturday night and is not playing on Sunday. However, he could be available off the bench. Nick Martini is starting in left field and is hitting leadoff Sunday against Giants starter Johnny Cueto. Martini is a DFS sleeper on Sunday in the leadoff position. […]

German Marquez Put On Paternity List

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher German Marquez was placed on the paternity list on Sunday. Marquez should only miss a few days and shouldn't have to miss his next scheduled start. He has a 5.00 ERA on the season but also has 112 K's in 108 innings. Predictably, he's been much better on the road than […]

Yankees Considering Dan Straily

The New York Yankees have spoken to the Miami Marlins about starting pitcher Dan Straily, but the sides don't appear to be close to a deal. Straily has pitched much better in July, allowing seven earned runs with 18 strikeouts and 12 walks in his last four starts over 26 innings. He'd have a much […]

Carlos Correa Resumes Baseball Activities

Houston Astros shortstop Carlos Correa (back) has resumed throwing and running, according to manager A.J. Hinch. Correa has no timetable to return and probably won't be back until August. He hasn't played since June 25. The electric shortstop was hitting .268 with 13 home runs and 49 RBI. He should remain stashed everywhere.

Devontae Booker Expected To Enter Season As Starter

Denver Broncos running back Devontae Booker is expected to start the team's Sept. 9 opener against the Seahawks, with rookie Royce Freeman pushing him for touches. De'Angelo Henderson is expected to be third on the depth chart entering training camp. Booker has been better as a receiver (61 catches in his two years) than as […]

Chris Carson Expected To Be At Top Of Depth Chart

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson figures to be at the top of the depth chart heading into training camp over impressive rookie Rashaad Penny, who was taken in the first round. Penny can be used in a third-down role and on special teams for kickoff returns. Carson was very effective before breaking his leg […]

Bears Won't Put Pressure On Kevin White

The Chicago Bears won't put much pressure on wide receiver Kevin White in training camp. “We’re not gonna harp on anything that happens — a dropped ball, a route run the wrong way, a wrong split, a missed assignment,” head coach Matt Nagy said Saturday after the team’s first open-to-the-public practice. “We don’t harp on […]

Matt Nagy Sees Jordan Howard As Every-Down Back

Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy believes that running back Jordan Howard can be an every-down back in his offense. "There’s this notion that he is just a first-and second-down back, and I don’t believe that,” Nagy said Saturday. “Jordan can play all three downs. We’re going to do that. We’re going to use him, […]

Edubray Ramos Leaves With Injury

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Edubray Ramos (knee) left the game early during his appearance in the first game of a doubleheader against the Padres on Sunday with an apparent left knee injury. Coming into the outing, Ramos had been fantastic this year, sporting a 1.93 ERA, 1.19 WHIP, 33 K's and one save in 32 […]

Teams Interested In Sonny Gray

There has been some interest in New York Yankees starting pitcher Sonny Gray, as some think he'd pitch better in a smaller market. However, the Yankees are looking to add starting pitching help, not subtract from it. Gray has been really inconsistent for the Yanks this year, going 7-7 with a bloated 5.34 ERA, 1.49 […]

Jaime Barria Expected To Start Monday

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Jaime Barria is in the clubhouse on Sunday and is expected to start against the White Sox on Monday. Barria has been decent for the Angels as a fill-in starter in his first year in the big leagues, going 5-6 with a 3.55 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 7.1 K/9 over […]

Brewers Moving To Six-Man Rotation

Milwaukee Brewers manager Craig Counsell said that starting pitcher Junior Guerra (forearm) will come off the disabled list to start Tuesday against the Nationals, while Freddy Peralta will be recalled to start Wednesday. Counsell is unsure how long the Brewers will use six starters, but they will eventually go back to a standard five-man rotation. […]

Jedd Gyorko Could Return Sunday

St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Jedd Gyorko (illness), who was unavailable Saturday due to illness, could be available off the bench on Sunday. "Feeling much better today. We’ll continue to take his temperature, maybe literally, as the day goes," manager Mike Shildt said. Gyorko has been a part-time player for St. Louis this year and […]

Mariners Activate Mike Zunino From DL

The Seattle Mariners activated catcher Mike Zunino (ankle) from the disabled list on Sunday and optioned catcher David Freitas to Triple-A Tacoma in a corresponding move. Zunino went 1-for-5 in two rehab games with Tacoma and should return to his regular role as the starting catcher in Seattle. He's hitting an ugly .189/.251/.403 on the […]
