Chance Adams To Make MLB Debut Against Red Sox

The New York Yankees plan to call up pitching prospect Chance Adams on Saturday to make his major league debut against the Red Sox. Adams is the team's 13th-ranked prospect, but he's struggled at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this year to the tune of a 3-5 record, 4.50 ERA and 1.32 WHIP. He does have 102 punchouts […]

Hyun-Jin Ryu Looks Good In First Rehab Start

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Hyun-Jin Ryu (groin) tossed four scoreless innings while striking out four and giving up two singles in his first rehab start for Single-A Rancho Cucamonga. Ryu has been out for three months after tearing his groin off the bone, so he'll need at least a handful more starts before becoming […]

Dee Gordon Leaves With Ankle Injury

Seattle Mariners second baseman Dee Gordon (ankle) left the game early on Thursday in the top of the ninth inning after rolling his right ankle when he stumbled on second base while trying to catch a throw. He was helped off the field and replaced by infielder Andrew Romine. He was 1-for-3 in the game […]

Wil Myers In Walking Boot

San Diego Padres outfielder Wil Myers (foot) left the field in a walking boot on Thursday, although X-rays came back negative. He is scheduled to undergo an MRI exam and a CT scan. Myers went 0-for-3 in the game before departing. He's had trouble staying healthy this year but has produced when on the field, […]

Quincy Enunwa Out 1-2 Weeks

New York Jets wide receiver Quincy Enunwa (thumb) is expected to miss one to two weeks with a thumb injury, according to a source. He was spotted with a wrap around his right hand at the start of practice on Thursday and was limited in the spring while recovering from a neck injury that kept […]

Blake Swihart Day-To-Day

Boston Red Sox catcher/outfielder Blake Swihart (hamstring) is being listed as day-to-day with a tight right hamstring. Swihart went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts on Thursday before being lifted from the game. He has very minimal fantasy value with his .226 average, one home run and six RBI in 125 plate appearances.

Eagles Expected To Use A Lot Of Two-Tight End Sets

The Philadelphia Eagles are expected to use a ton of two-tight end sets in 2018 involving tight ends Zach Ertz and rookie Dallas Goedert. Twenty three percent of the team's offensive snaps last year involved 12 personnel -- one running back, two tight ends and two receivers -- which was sixth most in the league. […]

Baker Mayfield, Rashard Higgins Connecting Often

Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Baker Mayfield and wide receiver Rashard Higgins have been hooking up often in training camp, and Thursday was no different. Mayfield threw a 37-yard touchdown pass to Higgins down the left side on Thursday. It's encouraging for the third-year wideout, but Higgins is just too far down the depth chart currently […]

Jarvis Landry Has Become Tyrod Taylor's Go-To Receiver

With Cleveland Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon still absent at training camp, Jarvis Landry has become quarterback Tyrod Taylor's go-to guy. The wideout had a vintage one-handed catch in the back corner of the end zone over cornerback E.J. Gaines on Thursday. Landry has caught everything within reach. While it'll be extremely difficult for Landry […]

Chase Utley Placed On DL

The Los Angeles Dodgers placed second baseman Chase Utley (wrist) on the 10-day disabled list on Thursday with left wrist inflammation. LA's infield is now jam packed with Justin Turner off the DL, Manny Machado at shortstop and new acquisition Brian Dozier at the keystone. Utley wasn't much of a fantasy factor to begin with, […]

Zach Davies Likely To Make Two More Rehab Starts

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Zach Davies (shoulder) got through his rehab start on Wednesday without any physical setbacks, but he's likely to make at least two more rehab starts in the minors before returning from the disabled list. Davies hasn't pitched in a big league game since May 29, so the Brewers are making sure […]

Pablo Sandoval To Have Season-Ending Surgery

San Francisco Giants third baseman/first baseman Pablo Sandoval (hamstring) will have season-ending surgery to fix a hamstring tear. The Panda hadn't really done much for the fantasy owners this year but was a useful utility guy for the Gigantes, hitting .248 with nine home runs and 40 RBI in 230 at-bats. With Brandon Belt still […]

Jeff Samardzija Making Progress

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Jeff Samardzija (shoulder) is "making progress" and threw a 20-pitch side session on Thursday. Samardzija has been out since July 14 and wasn't doing anything for fantasy owners anyway before his injury. He's 1-5 on the year with a 6.25 ERA, 1.63 WHIP and only 30 strikeouts over 44 2/3 […]

Hunter Strickland Throws To Hitters

San Francisco Giants relief pitcher Hunter Strickland (hand) threw 20 pitches to hitters at the team's spring training complex on Thursday and should be ready to come off the 60-day disabled list when he's eligible in 16 days. Strickland had been serving as the team's closer but has been out since June 18. Will Smith […]

Brandon Belt Swinging The Bat

San Francisco Giants first baseman Brandon Belt (knee) has been swinging in the indoor cages and will take ground balls this weekend. Belt has been on the disabled list since hyperextending his knee on July 25. He's having a solid year with the Giants, hitting .278 with 14 home runs and 43 RBI. It might […]

Kevin Zeitler Out A Few Weeks

Cleveland Browns guard Kevin Zeitler (calf) is dealing with a calf injury that will keep him out for "awhile" in training camp, according to head coach Hue Jackson. Jackson is hoping Zeitler can be back in "a few weeks." Zeitler was solid for the Browns last year and should be fine for the regular season.

Cole Wick Carted Off Thursday

San Francisco 49ers tight end Cole Wick (knee) was carted off the field with a right knee injury on Thursday and was taken to a local hospital. The second-year tight end landed awkwardly on his leg trying to haul in a high pass. Wick was already behind George Kittle and Garrett Celek on the depth […]

Brandon Marshall Takes Part In Team Drills

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Brandon Marshall (ankle, toe), who had toe and ankle surgeries in the offseason, took part in team drills for the first time in training camp on Thursday. He was limited but caught a touchdown pass from quarterback Russell Wilson in red-zone drills. “It was a unique situation for me this whole […]

Quincy Enunwa Misses Another Practice

New York Jets wide receiver Quincy Enunwa (hand) missed his second straight practice on Thursday. It doesn't sound like a serious injury, though, so Enunwa should return to the field soon. He missed all of last year with a neck injury but is likely to be the No. 2 receiver behind Robby Anderson in 2018. […]

Chad Hansen Has Disappeared In Camp

New York Jets wide receiver Chad Hansen, who was a standout this spring, has disappeared so far in training camp. He's competing for the No. 4 job this year behind Robby Anderson, Quincy Enunwa and Jermaine Kearse. Terrelle Pryor is also in the fold, so Hansen doesn't have a good shot at fantasy relevance.

Isaiah Crowell To Be Big Factor In Offense

New York Jets running back Isaiah Crowell is showing his speed in training camp and is a better receiver than head coach Todd Bowles expected. Crowell will be a big factor in the offense. With Elijah McGuire injured, Crowell's stock is slowly rising, especially in PPR leagues. He could be a decent RB3/flex type.

Roberto Osuna Starting Rehab Assignment Thursday

Houston Astros relief pitcher Roberto Osuna, who was acquired from the Blue Jays, will start his rehab assignment with Double-A Corpus Christi on Thursday. He will join the Astros on Sunday in Los Angeles. He's been serving an 75-game suspension for a domestic-assault case, but he's eligible to return on Sunday and could take over […]

Justin Turner Activated, Starting Thursday

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner (groin) has been activated from the disabled list and is starting at third base and batting third against Brewers starter Jhoulys Chacin on Thursday. Turner has been a disappointment this year and has rarely be healthy, but he still has a lot of potential and should be put […]

Antonio Brown Will Be Fine

Updating a previous report, Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown is expected "to be fine in a few days," according to a source. The exact nature of Brown's injury is unknown, but he's just day-to-day. Brown is the best all-around receiver in the game still and should be the first wideout taken in the first […]

Marqise Lee, Donte Moncrief Both Practicing

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Marqise Lee practiced in full on Thursday, while wideout Donte Moncrief (ankle) worked on the side. Both players were injured in practice last weekend. They should both be fine moving forward. Lee has become the team's No. 1 wideout in 2018, but that doesn't necessarily mean he'll put up big numbers […]

Dede Westbrook Flashing In Training Camp

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook has flashed early on in training camp and had multiple catches on Thursday, including a 45-yarder from quarterback Cody Kessler. Westbrook's rookie season got off to a late start due to injury, but he showed flashes of his potential late in the year. However, Keelan Cole is probably ahead […]

Leonard Fournette Feeling Better

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette said he feels better playing 15 pounds lighter this year. “I have been more consistent on my bursts and stuff, just a lot of conditioning I have been doing in the offseason…," Fournette said. Fournette was solid in his rookie year but faded down the stretch with nagging injuries. […]

Antonio Brown Being Evaluated For Injury

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown is being evaluated for an undisclosed injury but is considered day-to-day, according to head coach Mike Tomlin. The injury probably isn't serious, but stay tuned. Brown is a top receiver in fantasy and has topped 1,000 yards receiving in each of the last five seasons and in six of […]

David Wright Running Out Of Time

New York Mets assistant general manager John Ricco said third baseman David Wright (back, shoulder) is running out of time if he wants to play this year. Wright has been working out, but there is no timetable for him to go on a minor league rehab assignment. The oft-injured third baseman hasn't played in a […]

Kris Bryant Still Feeling Pain

Chicago Cubs manager Joe Maddon said third baseman Kris Bryant (shoulder) is still feeling pain in his shoulder during range-of-motion exercises. He hasn't resumed any baseball activities yet, either, suggesting he isn't close to returning from the disabled list. Fantasy owners must continue to hold him, but he's becoming somewhat of a letdown with 11 […]
