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. It remains to be seen if Vea will be ready for the regular season, but it's a bit of good news for the rookie. He was drafted 12th overall in the first round […]

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 could split time with Nick Williams in the outfield, but Cozens probably won't see enough […]

Arodys Vizcaino Weeks Ways From Throwing Activities

Atlanta Braves relief pitcher Arodys Vizcaino (shoulder) is a few weeks away from resuming throwing activities, according to manager Brian Snitker. Atlanta still believes Vizcaino will return this year, but they might just be being optimistic. Vizcaino hasn't pitched in a game since July 11 and doesn't appear at all close to returning. 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. It's a bummer after Happ was fantastic in his debut with the Yanks over the weekend against the Royals, but his fantasy owners probably aren't […]

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 […]

Trevor Williams On Crutches And In Boot

Los Angeles Chargers cornerback Trevor Williams (ankle) was injured in practice on Tuesday and left on crutches and with his left foot in a walking boot. Head coach Anthony Lynn is hoping Williams is only dealing with a sprained ankle. Williams was a surprise contributor for the Bolts last year and started across from Casey […]

Eric Decker Works Out For Patriots

Free-agent wide receiver Eric Decker worked out for the New England Patriots on Monday, according to a source. With the team dealing with injuries to Kenny Britt, Malcolm Mitchell and Jordan Matthews, the veteran Decker could be an insurance policy for the start of the season. Julian Edelman will also be suspended the first four […]

Stephen Strasburg Cleared To Throw

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Stephen Strasburg (neck) has been cleared to throw and played catch on Monday. Manager Dave Martinez said he doesn't think Strasburg will need long to build back up. The Nats could really use Strasburg at the top of their rotation as they fight to remain relevant in the playoff picture. The […]

Dante Pettis Inconsistent In Camp

San Francisco 49ers rookie wide receiver Dante Pettis has been inconsistent so far in training camp. He creates separation with what quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo calls "wiggle" and continues to make plays on the outside, but he has also struggled with contested balls and winning at the catch point. Rookies often struggle with consistency, so this […]

Jerick McKinnon, Jimmy Garoppolo Gaining Chemistry

The chemistry between San Francisco 49ers running back Jerick McKinnon and quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo appears to be on point in training camp. McKinnon caught two touchdowns from Garoppolo in seven-on-seven drills on Tuesday. The former Minnesota Viking will be used heavily both on the ground and through the air by head coach Kyle Shanahan, and […]

Zay Jones Still Being Held Out

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Zay Jones (knee) is still recovering from an offseason injury and hasn't been involved in practices yet. He has done some running drills but doesn't appear close to practicing. Head coach Sean McDermott said Jones is moving in the right direction, though. Jones has an opportunity to be the No. 2 […]

Dion Jordan Has Stress Issue In Shin

Seattle Seahawks defensive end Dion Jordan (shin) is dealing with a "stress issue" in his shin, according to head coach Pete Carroll. Jordan is expected to be held out for at least another week. The team plans to take it slow with him after playing in only five games for the team in 2017. Jordan […]

Cowboys The Likely Landing Spot For Earl Thomas

The Dallas Cowboys remain the most likely landing spot for Seattle Seahawks free safety Earl Thomas. The Seahawks have no interest in giving Thomas a new deal and he will not report to the team until he has a new contract, so a trade is the most likely solution. Head coach Peter Carroll said the […]

Doug Baldwin Out A Few Weeks

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin (knee) is dealing with a sore knee and will be out a few weeks, according to head coach Pete Carroll. While Baldwin will still have plenty of time to be ready for Week 1, this is concerning for fantasy owners. He has at least 75 catches, 990 yards and […]

Kolby Allard Starting Tuesday

Atlanta Braves pitching prospect Kolby Allard is being called up on Tuesday to start against the Marlins in his MLB debut. It will help create an extra day of rest for each starter in the rotation with the Braves in a stretch of playing 31 games in 32 days. Allard is the team's eighth-ranked prospect […]

The Cleveland Indians acquired outfield prospect Oscar Mercado from the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday in exchange for outfielders Conner Capel and Jhon Torres, according to a source.

Red Sox Don't Expect Dustin Pedroia Back In 2018

Boston Red Sox general manager Dave Dombrowski said the team isn't expecting second baseman Dustin Pedroia (knee) back this season. In just 11 at-bats this year, Pedroia has just one hit (.091). It was fairly obvious when the Red Sox traded for second baseman Ian Kinsler on Monday night that they weren't expecting Pedroia to […]

Brian Goodwin Placed On DL

The Kansas City Royals placed outfielder Brian Goodwin (groin) on the 10-day disabled list on Tuesday with a left groin strain. He will be eligible to return on Aug. 8. In corresponding moves, the team called up first baseman Ryan O'Hearn from Triple-A Omaha and moved infielder Cheslor Cuthbert to the 60-day DL. It's a […]

Matt Harvey Staying With Reds

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Matt Harvey won't be moved at the non-waiver trade deadline on Tuesday, according to a source. It doesn't mean Harvey won't be moved next month, as a handful of teams were interested in him, including the Braves, Brewers and Giants. He's been better since moving to Cincinnati but remains mediocre in […]

Phillies Acquire Aaron Loup

The Philadelphia Phillies acquired relief pitcher Aaron Loup from the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday in exchange for pitcher Jacob Waguespack, according to a source. Loup is mainly a lefty specialist and holds a 4.54 ERA, 1.59 WHIP and career-high 10.6 K/9 in 35 2/3 innings this year. He has no fantasy value. Waguespack is […]

Nats Activate Anthony Rendon

Kintzler has a 3.59 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 31 strikeouts in 42 2/3 innings this year and will move to a setup role in Chicago. He doesn't have much fantasy value at all. Romero […]

Matt Harvey In The Fray For Giants

The San Francisco Giants are interested in acquiring Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Matt Harvey, according to sources. Harvey has been a candidate to be traded for a while, so it looks like he'll be changing teams at the deadline. He's been better since moving to the Reds and his velocity has been on the rise, […]

Derrius Guice Drawing Praise From Coaches

Washington Redskins rookie running back Derrius Guice has been drawing praise from the coaching staff for his presence in meeting rooms. He has also been working on his pass protection and has showed his aggressive nature. The coaches want to make sure he doesn't overcommit and lose leverage on his man. Guice was a steal […]

Alex Smith Comfortable With Jamison Crowder

Washington Redskins quarterback Alex Smith has looked very comfortable throwing to wide receiver Jamison Crowder in training camp. Smith has hit him multiple times on quick slants and dig routes. It hasn't been a secret that Crowder and Smith have been tied at the hip, but it's another reminder that Crowder will once again be […]

Orioles In Discussions Regarding Jonathan Schoop, Kevin Gausman

The Baltimore Orioles remain involved in late deadline discussion deals regarding second baseman Jonathan Schoop and possibly starting pitcher Kevin Gausman, according to a source. The deadline is just an hour away, but something could come down on one or both of these players before it's all said and done. Schoop has been on fire […]

Mariners Acquiring Cameron Maybin

The Seattle Mariners are acquiring outfielder Cameron Maybin from the Miami Marlins on Tuesday, according to a source. It's unclear what the return was for Miami. Maybin hasn't been great but should represent an upgrade in center field over Guillermo Heredia for Seattle. Maybin was hitting .251 with three home runs, 20 RBI and eight […]
