Clint Frazier Put On DL

The New York Yankees placed outfielder Clint Frazier (head) on the 10-day disabled list on Saturday after he was initially put on the seven-day concussion DL. The Yankees are expected to give more information on Frazier's injury soon. Frazier has mostly played in the minors this year because of New York's crowded outfield room at […]

Clay Buchholz Will Start Tuesday

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Clay Buchholz (oblique) will return from the disabled list to start Tuesday against the Cubs. Buchholz has been way better than anyone could've expected for Arizona this year, going 2-1 with a 2.56 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 7.2 K/9 over seven starts. If he continues to pitch anywhere near that level […]

Mitch Trubisky Has Been Inconsistent At Training Camp

Chicago Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky, who has made just 12 NFL starts heading into his second year, has been extremely inconsistent early in training camp. He's learning a new offensive scheme that is much more complex than the one he had in place in his rookie season, and he has been on a roller coaster […]

Todd Frazier Hitting Off A Tee

New York Mets third baseman Todd Frazier (ribs) has been hitting off a tee and will start "more intense baseball activities" in the next few days, according to manager Mickey Callaway. It looks like Frazier may be able to come off the disabled list later this week. He was underwhelming with a .217/.300/.385 slash line, […]

Six Teams Interested In Zack Wheeler

New York Mets starting pitcher Zack Wheeler is the most likely Mets starter to be traded at the deadline this month, and around six teams have shown interest in him. Wheeler has strikeout upside (8.9 K/9), but he's been inconsistent with a 4.44 ERA and 1.34 WHIP over 18 starts (107 1/3 innings) in 2018. […]

Chad Bettis Has More Blister Problems

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Chad Bettis (finger) left early after just 70 pitches at Triple-A Albuquerque on Saturday because the blister on his middle finger was bothering him again. It's unclear when he'll be able to make his next rehab start. Bettis last pitched on July 1 and was sporting a weak 5.10 ERA, 1.39 […]

Adalberto Mejia To Start Against Blue Jays Monday

Minnesota Twins pitcher Adalberto Mejia will be called up on Monday to make a start against the Blue Jays. The left-hander made a start against the Cubs back on June 30 and allowed four runs on six hits in just four innings while striking out one and walking three. It's safe to say he'll be […]

Luke Farrell To Start Monday

Chicago Cubs pitcher Luke Farrell will make a spot start on Monday against the Diamondbacks at home. Farrell has a decent 3.86 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and career-high 11.9 K/9, but he's made just one start on the season. He allowed three earned runs over just 2 2/3 innings in his one start against the Reds […]

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 […]
