Cowboys Not Expecting Terrance Williams To Be Suspended

The Dallas Cowboys aren't expecting wide receiver Terrance Williams to be hit with a suspension by the league. Williams could be the No. 2 receiver behind Allen Hurns with Dez Bryant no longer in town, but you can do much better in fantasy leagues. The 28-year-old has struggled with drops in his career and is […]

Christian McCaffrey Set For Much Bigger Workload

Carolina Panthers head coach Ron Rivera said that getting running back Christian McCaffrey the ball 25 to 30 times a game would be "ideal." That might be feasible if McCaffrey was the do-everything back, but the Panthers brough C.J. Anderson in through free agency to be the early-down back, so it's unlikely McCaffrey sees that […]

Blue Jays Interested In Brandon Drury

The Toronto Blue Jays are interested in New York Yankees infielder Brandon Drury, according to sources. Toronto general manager Ross Atkins comes from the Indians executive tree and Cleveland evaluators always liked Drury. The Indians almost traded for Drury just before the Yankees did last February. Drury could also be part of a bigger package […]

Yankees Could Be Interested In Cole Hamels

The New York Yankees could be interested in trading for Texas Rangers starting pitcher Cole Hamels. Starting pitching is New York's biggest area of need and sources indicate that Hamels is one of the pitchers the Yankees are evaluating. The left-hander is 1-3 with a 10.23 ERA in his last five starts, though, and has […]

Falcons Hoping To Get Something Done With Julio Jones

The Atlanta Falcons are "hopeful" of getting something done with wide receiver Julio Jones, who is holding out of training camp, according to a team source. Both sides have been discussing a contract extension for a while now. Something could get worked out before the start of the regular season. The veteran Jones disappointed fantasy […]

Padres Not Willing To Trade Top Prospects For Chris Archer

The San Diego Padres have inquired about Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Chris Archer, but they are unwilling to include prospects Fernando Tatis Jr. or MacKenzie Gore, who are their top two prospects. San Diego is believed to be willing to give up one or two of their next three prospects from MLB.com's top-30 list. […]

Teams Still Interested In Cole Hamels

Despite the fact that Texas Rangers starting pitcher Cole Hamels has struggled in his last five starts, sources said there remains interest in him on the trade market. The veteran southpaw has been shelled for 25 earned runs over 22 innings in his last five starts for an ERA of 10.23. It's gotten to the […]

Rockies Close To Acquiring Seung Hwan Oh

The Colorado Rockies are close to landing Toronto Blue Jays relief pitcher Seung Hwan Oh. This makes total sense, as the Rockies have one of the worst bullpens in all of baseball. Even closer Wade Davis is 0-3 with a bloated 4.61 ERA and 1.22 WHIP despite 28 saves. Oh would immediately become the team's […]

Andre Ethier Announces Retirement

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Andre Ethier officially announced his retirement on Wednesday. He played all 12 of his seasons with the Dodgers and made the All-Star team twice. He will finish with a total of 162 home runs, 687 RBI and a .285 average. Ethier played in just 36 games the last two years due […]

Brandon Belt Has Hyperextended Knee

San Francisco Giants first baseman Brandon Belt (knee) suffered a hyperextended right knee on Wednesday and will be out a minimum of two to three days. Belt entered Wednesday hitting .277 with 14 home runs and 43 RBI over 310 at-bats, so he's been useful in pretty much all formats. He could still land on […]

Brandon Graham Likely To Start On PUP

Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Brandon Graham (ankle) is likely to start training camp on the Physically Unable to Perform list, according to sources. Graham had surgery on his ankle in May after playing with a sprained ankle in the Super Bowl. The 30-year-old had 47 tackles and a career-high 9.5 sacks for Philly last year. […]

Rays To Promote Michael Perez

The Tampa Bay Rays will call up catcher Michael Perez to join the team on Thursday. Adam Moore will be designated for assignment in a corresponding move. The Rays just acquired Perez in a trade that sent pitcher Matt Andriese to Arizona on Wednesday. Perez wasn't even on Arizona's list of top-30 prospects per MLB.com, but […]

Blue Jays Close To Trading Seung Hwan Oh

The Toronto Blue Jays appear to be close to trading relief pitcher Seung Hwan Oh, and the trade could be completed on Wednesday, according to sources. Oh has posted a tidy 2.68 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 55 strikeouts in 47 innings with one save for Toronto this year. He had 20 saves last season with […]

Corey Coleman Will Start If Josh Gordon Isn't Available

Cleveland Browns head coach Hue Jackson said wide receiver Corey Coleman would start opposite Jarvis Landry if Josh Gordon isn't available. It basically confirms what we already know: that Coleman is third on the depth chart behind Gordon and Landry. However, rookie Antonio Callaway is healthy and could pass up Coleman during the season if […]

Cameron Meredith Won't Go On PUP

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Cameron Meredith (knee) will not start training camp on the Physically Unable to Perform list, according to head coach Sean Payton. The team will play it smart with Meredith during practices, though, and will manage his workload. Meredith sat out all of last year but had 66 catches for 888 […]

Carson Wentz Won't Go On PUP List

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz (knee) will not go on the Physically Unable to Perform list but will be limited in practices in training camp. The Eagles will understandably take it slow with their star quarterback, but every indication points to him being ready for Week 1. He blew up in his second year with […]

Cubs Unsure If Javier Baez Will Play Thursday

Chicago Cubs second baseman Javier Baez's (knee) status is unknown for Thursday's game. Baez hurt his knee after a player slid into him on Tuesday, and he didn't play Wednesday. The injury isn't believed to be too serious, though, so even if Baez misses the game on Thursday, he could be back on Friday. The […]

Zay Jones To Miss The Start Of Training Camp

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Zay Jones (knee) was placed on the Non-Football Injury list on Wednesday for the start of training camp, and he won't be on the practice field starting Thursday. Once he's medically cleared, he can be taken off the list and start practicing. Jones was a rookie bust, catching 27 passes for […]

Cowboys Haven't Discussed Earl Thomas Recently

Dallas Cowboys executive Stephen Jones said the team has had no recent trade talks regarding Seattle Seahawks free safety Earl Thomas. The last time the two clubs talked was during the draft. Thomas isn't reporting to training camp because he wants an extension that the team is unwilling to give him. He wants to be […]

Domingo Santana Pulled From Minor League Game

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Domingo Santana was pulled out of his game with Triple-A Colorado Springs on Wednesday. With trade rumors swirling, Santana could be involved in a deal. Santana was sent to the minors in late June after hitting .249 with three home runs and 17 RBI in 189 at-bats. With a stacked outfield, he […]

Devin Funchess May Not Receive Extension

Carolina Panthers general manager Marty Hurney made it seem likely that he doesn't plan on giving wide receiver Devin Funchess a contract extension just yet. "You want to see a guy put back-to-back years together," Hurney said. Funchess had his breakout year in his third season, catching 63 passes for 840 yards and eight touchdowns, […]

Giants Will Be Strategic Buyers

The San Francisco Giants, who entered play with a 52-50 record on Wednesday, "will be strategic buyers, not sellers," according to a source familiar with the team's thinking. However, they probably won't be going after rental players, but it'll also be hard for them to acquire any noteworthy players with just one prospect in MLB […]

Diamondbacks Showing Interest In Keone Kela, Jose Leclerc

The Arizona Diamondbacks have shown interest in Texas Rangers relief pitchers Keone Kela and Jose Leclerc, according to sources. Kela blew his first save of the season just the other day, but both he and Leclerc have been lights-out otherwise and would surely bolster Arizona's bullpen as they try to either win the National League […]

Clint Frazier To Hit Wednesday

New York Yankees outfielder Clint Frazier (head) is back with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and will attempt to hit in the cages on Wednesday and then ride a stationary bike. The Yankees will be extra cautious with Frazier, as he's dealt with multiple concussions this season. The Yankees outfield is just too crowded for Frazier to see […]

Baker Mayfield Won't Be Seeing First-Team Reps

Cleveland Browns head coach Hue Jackson said that rookie quarterback Baker Mayfield won't be seeing any first-team repetitions anytime soon in training camp. “Tyrod Taylor is the starter,” Jackson said. “I don’t envision any situation where all of a sudden (Mayfield’s) getting a bunch of first-team reps unless God forbid something happens." Mayfield was the […]

Nathan Eovaldi To Make Red Sox Debut Sunday

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi will make his first start for his new team on Sunday against the Twins. Brian Johnson will start on Thursday and then move to the bullpen. The Red Sox acquired Eovaldi from the Rays on Wednesday. He got off to a late start to the year but has […]

Yankees In The Mix To Land J.A. Happ

The New York Yankees are "heavy in the mix" to trade for Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher J.A. Happ, although no deal is done, according to a source. The Brewers could still be in play, among other teams. Aside from a recent rough patch, Happ has been pretty useful to fantasy owners this year with […]

Lamarcus Joyner Placed On NFI List

The Los Angeles Rams placed safety Lamarcus Joyner on the Non-Football Injury list on Wednesday after he didn't pass his conditioning test. This isn't a big deal, and he can come off the NFI list and practice when he's medically cleared. He has three career interceptions, four sacks and two forced fumbles in four NFL […]

Leonte Carroo Ready For Training Camp

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Leonte Carroo (knee), who missed minicamp and some organized team activities following a knee cleanup, is healthy and is ready for the start of training camp. The 24-year-old has only 10 receptions for 98 yards and one touchdown in 28 games in his first two seasons. Even with Jarvis Landry out […]

Marlins Asking Price High On Relievers

The Miami Marlins are asking a lot for relief pitchers Kyle Barraclough, Adam Conley and Drew Steckenrider, with all three under team control for multiple years. MLB.com's Joe Frisaro believes that of the three, Conley could be the most realistic to be dealt. The Red Sox, Astros, Dodgers and others would be interested. The Marlins […]
