Jose Altuve Unlikely To Return From DL Sunday

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve (knee) isn't doing any activities on the field yet and is only receiving treatment on his knee, according to manager A.J. Hinch.

Oakland Athletics general manager David Forst said that pitching prospect Jesus Luzardo will be moved to Triple-A Nashville after his start for Double-A on Tuesday.

Justin Turner Could Return This Weekend

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner (groin) had another good workout on Tuesday, and manager Dave Roberts is encouraged with his progress.

The "initial plan" is for Houston Astros shortstop Carlos Correa (back) to start a rehab assignment with Double-A Corpus Christi on Thursday, according to manager A.J. Hinch.

New York Mets infielder Wilmer Flores left the game early Tuesday due to dehydration and dizziness. Flores should be alright in a day or two.

Saints Signing Michael Floyd

The New Orleans Saints are signing free-agent wide receiver Michael Floyd on Tuesday, according to a source. Ever since a DUI arrest while with the Arizona Cardinals in 2016, Floyd has been well off the fantasy radar. He managed a 1,000-yard season with Arizona in 2013 on 65 catches. The former first-round pick in 2012 […]

Harrison Bader, Tyler O'Neill To Split Playing Time

St. Louis Cardinals outfielders Harrison Bader and Tyler O'Neill will split playing time in center field about 50-50, according to general manager John Mozeliak. The trade of Tommy Pham to the Rays opens up this playing time, but fantasy owners won't be too excited to hear that neither player in particular will benefit. Still, both […]

Cleveland Indians relief pitcher Andrew Miller (knee) got "very good" feedback from his rehab outing with Triple-A Columbus on Monday and will throw again on Tuesday, according to manager Terry Francona.

Yu Darvish Throws Bullpen

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Yu Darvish (elbow) threw a 35-pitch bullpen session on Tuesday and included all of his pitches. It's the first time he hasn't felt pain.

Amara Darboh Competing For Roster Spot

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Amara Darboh is competing for a roster spot in training camp, but he made two tough catches from quarterback Russell Wilson on Tuesday, including one for a one-handed touchdown.

Vita Vea Dealing With Calf Injury

Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie defensive tackle Vita Vea's (calf) injury isn't as serious as first believed, according to head coach Dirk Koetter.

Cole Beasley Playing More Outside

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Cole Beasley has been seeing more time on the outside in training camp. "I think he’s always been able to handle it. You’ve seen him have a lot of success at different times as an outside receiver. You’re absolutely right, he plays much more inside, but we’ve done that with him […]

Phillies Call Up Dylan Cozens

The Philadelphia Phillies recalled outfielder Dylan Cozens from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday. Cozens had just two hits (one homer) in 18 at-bats (.111) with the Phils earlier this year, although he was hitting very well on the farm.

He was […]

J.A. Happ May Miss Saturday Start

New York Yankees starting pitcher J.A. Happ (illness) has contracted hand, foot and mouth disease and could be forced to miss his next start on Saturday against the Red Sox.

Chris Sale Lands On DL

The Boston Red Sox placed starting pitcher Chris Sale (shoulder) on the 10-day disabled list on Tuesday with left shoulder inflammation. The team is recalling pitcher Brandon Workman from the minors in a corresponding move. Sale is an elite pitcher and fantasy commodity, so this is a big blow. The talented left-hander is a beast […]
