Sean Reid-Foley To Start Sunday

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Sean Reid-Foley will be called up when rosters expand this weekend and will start on Sunday against the Marlins. Reid-Foley has made two starts for Toronto this year, allowing nine earned runs in 9 1/3 frames against the Royals and Yankees, walking six and striking out nine. The right-hander has […]

Arodys Vizcaino To Make Rehab Appearance Sunday

Atlanta Braves relief pitcher Arodys Vizcaino (shoulder) will pitch for Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday. Vizcaino has been out the entire second half, but he had a 1.65 ERA, 1.13 WHIP, 9.4 K/9 and 15 saves before his injury. The Braves will probably want him closing again, but they'll likely ease him back into the ninth […]

Andrew Miller Could Throw Sunday Or Monday

Cleveland Indians relief pitcher Andrew Miller (shoulder) could resume throwing on Sunday or Monday. Miller's season has been a disappointing one due to injuries, and he hasn't been his dominant self as a result. He has a 3.38 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 33 strikeouts in just 24 innings on the year. The left-hander should be […]

Trevor Bauer To Be Re-Evaluated Saturday

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Trevor Bauer (leg) will be re-evaluated on Saturday. Bauer is dealing with a stress fracture in his leg and may not be able to pitch for the rest of the year. His fantasy owners should continue to hang onto him just in case, though, as he was having a Cy Young […]

Yankees Optimistic Aaron Judge Will Return This Year

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said he is "very optimistic" that outfielder Aaron Judge (wrist) will return this year, but there still remains no timetable for his return. Judge has been out since July 26 since suffering a wrist fracture, and he doesn't appear close to a return since he still can't swing a […]

Chris Manhertz Coming Off PUP

Carolina Panthers tight end Chris Manhertz (foot) passed his physical and has been activated from the Physically Unable to Perform list on Friday. Manhertz will be the third tight end on the depth chart behind Greg Olsen and rookie Ian Thomas. He can be avoided in all fantasy leagues.

Michael Floyd Being Released

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Floyd has been released on Friday, according to a source. Floyd posted a 1,000-yard season with the Cardinals in his second year in the NFL in 2013. A DUI arrest in 2016 ended his time in Arizona and has really been the downfall in his career so far, as […]

Dolphins Releasing Gavin Escobar

The Miami Dolphins are releasing tight end Gavin Escobar on Friday. Escobar was competing for a roster spot behind rookie Mike Gesicki, MarQueis Gray and AJ Derby. The former second-round pick of the Cowboys didn't play at all in the NFL in 2017.

49ers Release Aldrick Robinson

The San Francisco 49ers released wide receiver Aldrick Robinson on Friday, according to a league source. Robinson had spent time with head coach Kyle Shanahan previously with the Redskins and Browns. The 29-year-old had just 19 catches for 260 yards and two touchdowns in his lone season with the Niners in 2017.

Troy Fumagalli A Candidate For IR

Denver Broncos rookie tight end Troy Fumagalli (hernia) is a candidate to start the season on Injured Reserve after missing all of the preseason. The former Wisconsin Badger was taken in the fifth round by the Broncos. He could be a candidate to return around midseason, but he obviously won't be on the fantasy radar. […]

Eloy Jimenez Will Not Be September Call-Up

The Chicago White Sox will not be calling up top prospect Eloy Jimenez in September. That's been the expectation all along, even though MLB's No. 3 overall prospect has hit .341/.387/.583 with 22 long balls, 63 runs scored and 75 RBI in 105 games with Double-A Birmingham and Triple-A Charlotte. He'll surely be a starter […]

Saints Cutting Brandon Tate

The New Orleans Saints are cutting wide receiver Brandon Tate on Friday, according to a source. In a crowded receiver room, Tate had been competing with the likes of Austin Carr, Tommylee Lewis, Michael Floyd, rookie Keith Kirkwood and Tanner McEvoy. Tate had just 14 catches in the last two years combined with the Bills.

Browns Cut Jeff Janis

The Cleveland Browns cut wide receiver Jeff Janis on Friday. Janis wasn't expected to make the final 53-man roster, so this doesn't come as much of a surprise. The 27-year-old had only 17 catches for 200 yards and one touchdown in his four seasons with the Packers.

Brewers Acquire Xavier Cedeno

The Milwaukee Brewers acquired relief pitcher Xavier Cedeno from the Chicago White Sox on Friday, according to sources. While Cedeno isn't expected to be in the mix for saves with his new team, the left-hander is a valuable acquisition as a setup man with the Brewers fighting for a playoff spot. Cedeno has a 2.84 […]

Sean Doolittle Throws Simulated Game Friday

Washington Nationals closer Sean Doolittle (foot) was encouraged with his simulated game on Friday and will throw another one on Sunday or Monday. Doolittle is finally nearing a return and could return to the ninth-inning role sometime next week if he avoids setbacks. With Doolittle still out, Kelvin Herrera done for the year and Ryan […]

49ers Waive Joe Williams

The San Francisco 49ers are waiving running back Joe Williams on Friday, according to a source. Head coach Kyle Shanahan was a big proponent of Williams and convinced the team's brass to take him in the fourth round last season. Williams just hasn't panned out, mostly because of injuries. Jerick McKinnon and Matt Breida will […]

Amed Rosario Starting To Figure It Out?

New York Mets shortstop Amed Rosario is hitting .329/.360/.482 over the past three weeks since Aug. 9 and had seven hits in three games against the Cubs earlier this week. One of the biggest trends for this up-and-coming infielder is that he's striking out less and walking more in 2018. Rosario struck out 29 percent […]

Cubs Signing Jaime Garcia

The Chicago Cubs are signing free-agent starting pitcher Jaime Garcia to a minor league deal on Friday. Garcia held left-handed batters to a .188 average with the Blue Jays this year, and the Cubs plan to give him a few relief appearances in the minors before they give him a look. Overall for Toronto this […]

Michael Perez Placed On DL

The Tampa Bay Rays placed catcher Michael Perez (hamstring) on the 10-day disabled list on Friday with a left hamstring strain and recalled catcher Adam Moore from Triple-A Durham in a corresponding move. Perez's DL stint is retroactive to Wednesday. Perez was hitting .284 (21-for-74) with a homer and 11 RBI in his first 24 […]

Mallex Smith To Begin Rehab Assignment Saturday

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Mallex Smith (illness) will play in a rehab game with High-A Charlotte On Saturday. If Smith feels fine this weekend, he could return from the disabled list when he's eligible on Monday. The speedy outfielder has hit .307/.377/.433 with two homers, 31 RBI and 27 stolen bases on the season in […]

Teams Asking About Derek Dietrich

Teams have called asking about Miami Marlins infielder/outfielder Derek Dietrich with the trade deadline on Friday at midnight. Dietrich was a beast in the first half of the season, but he has predictably come back down to Earth in the second half, slashing just .213/.273/.377 with five home runs and 10 RBI in 34 games. […]

Josh Gordon To Practice Monday

Cleveland Browns head coach Hue Jackson said that wide receiver Josh Gordon (hamstring) will return to practice on Monday after missing the entire preseason. Jackson said Gordon will "get into the route-running" aspect of practice. Gordon reported late to training camp while tending to personal issues relating to his well-being, but he's with the team […]

Giants Calling Up Chris Shaw

The San Francisco Giants are calling up outfield prospect Chris Shaw from Triple-A Sacramento on Friday, according to a source. With Andrew McCutchen traded to the Yankees on Thursday night, it makes sense for the Giants to give Shaw some run in the final month of the season after he hit .259 with 24 home […]

Gio Gonzalez On The Trading Block

The Washington Nationals continue to dangle starting pitcher Gio Gonzalez and have had trade talks with at least one team, according to a source. With Washington unlikely to make the postseason this year, it makes sense to try and get something for Gonzalez before he hits free agency. The left-hander has been bad in the […]

No Trade Discussions For Adrian Beltre

There are no current or active trade discussions regarding Texas Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre. The future Hall of Famer possesses a full no-trade clause and hasn't seemed anxious to leave. The 39-year-old remains relevant in most mixed leagues, but he's clearly starting to decline as he closes out his career, and he's already been […]

Mike Glennon Makes Roster As Third QB

Updating a previous report, Arizona Cardinals quarterback Mike Glennon will remain on the 53-man roster as the third quarterback behind Sam Bradford and rookie Josh Rosen, according to sources. Glennon was a potential trade candidate, but the Cardinals would rather have him as insurance behind the injury-prone Bradford and the rookie Rosen. Glennon was a […]

Dodgers Trade For Ryan Madson

The Los Angeles Dodgers are acquiring relief pitcher Ryan Madson from the Washington Nationals on Friday, according to a source. It's unknown what the Dodgers are sending to the Nationals. Madson hasn't been all that effective this year in D.C. (5.28 ERA, 1.42 WHIP, four saves), but the 38-year-old brings veteran experience to a bullpen […]

Brian Goodwin Activated From DL

The Kansas City Royals activated outfielder Brian Goodwin (groin) from the disabled list on Friday. Goodwin had been playing well in five games since joining the Royals, and he could see decent playing time down the stretch. Consider him only in AL-only leagues for outfield depth. Catcher Cam Gallagher was also recalled from Triple-A Omaha […]

Josh Donaldson Clears Waivers

Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Josh Donaldson cleared revocable trade waivers on Friday and is eligible to be traded to any of the 29 teams, according to sources. The Cardinals have emerged as the favorites, but the Indians and Braves might also be in the mix. Donaldson has missed most of the season due to […]

Nick Rose Cut By Texans

The Houston Texans cut place kicker Nick Rose on Friday, according to a source. That means that Ka'imi Fairbairn will be the team's kicker heading into the 2018 season. Fairbairn made 20 of his 25 field goal attempts in his rookie season for the Texans, also going 3-for-4 from 50-plus yards. While Houston's offense is […]
