Robert Turbin Week-To-Week

Indianapolis Colts running back Robert Turbin (ankle) is week-to-week with an ankle injury, according to head coach Frank Reich. The Colts were hit hard by injuries in the preseason opener on Thursday, as they lost rookie wideout Deon Cain for the season with a knee injury, and Marlon Mack (hamstring) is also week-to-week. Turbin will […]

Tyler Skaggs To Start Saturday

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Tyler Skaggs (groin) said he will come off the disabled list and start Saturday against the A's. It's a tough matchup, but Skaggs has been solid for the Angels and should be trusted this weekend in fantasy. He's 8-7 with a 3.34 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and career-high 9.4 K/9 on […]

Seahawks Working Out Josh Johnson

The Seattle Seahawks are working out veteran free-agent quarterback Josh Johnson on Friday, according to a source. It means the Seahawks likely are unhappy with their options behind Russell Wilson, with Austin Davis and rookie Alex McGough competing for the backup role. Johnson hasn't thrown a pass in an NFL game since 2013 with the […]

Matt Breida Likely To Be Held Out Of Preseason

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida (shoulder) will be held out of contact drills and likely all three of the remaining preseason games as a precaution, according to a source. The hope is that he'll be rested and ready to go in Week 1 against the Vikings. Breida is set to be the main […]

LeSean McCoy Looks Quicker

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said running back LeSean McCoy looks "quicker, faster and more powerful than last year." McCoy is the engine that makes this offense run, but he's extra risky this year as a low-end RB1 due to the fact that he could be facing league discipline in a domestic-violence case. The […]

Twins Calling Up Kohl Stewart

The Minnesota Twins are calling up pitching prospect Kohl Stewart, according to sources. Stewart, a former first-round pick, is likely coming up to take the rotation spot of the injured Adalberto Mejia. The right-hander is the team's No. 28 prospect and has gone 3-7 with a 4.47 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 101 strikeouts in 108 […]

Adalberto Mejia Going For More Tests

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Adalberto Mejia (wrist, biceps) is going for further testing on his biceps area. Mejia was placed on the disabled list on Friday with a wrist injury, but it appears he might be dealing with something else, too. If that's the case, he might have to miss more than just one or […]

Peter Alonso May Not Come Up This Year

The New York Mets are leaning toward not calling up first base prospect Peter Alonso when rosters expand in September, according to a source. There might be a logjam at first base soon with Wilmer Flores, Jay Bruce and Dominic Smith, and the Mets don't have to place Alonso on the 40-man roster until after […]

Tyler O'Neill Starting Rehab Assignment Friday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill (groin) is starting his rehab assignment with Triple-A Memphis on Friday. O'Neill is expected to be able to come off the disabled list when he's eligible early next week. With Tommy Pham in Tampa and Dexter Fowler injured, O'Neill should return to an everyday role upon activation. He's batting […]

Scott Schebler Hopes To Return Next Week

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Scott Schebler (shoulder) is hoping to return from the disabled list late next week. Schebler has been out since July 14 but is nearing a return and should play every day with Jesse Winker out for the year. He was hitting .278/.351/.470 with 12 home runs and 37 RBI before his injury. […]

Touki Toussaint Likely To Make Spot Start Monday

Atlanta Braves pitching prospect Touki Toussaint looks likely to make a start in Monday's doubleheader against the Marlins. It'd be the Braves No. 7 prospect's major league debut. He has gone 6-6 with a 2.68 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 10.7 K/9 over 21 starts between Double-A Mississippi and Triple-A Gwinnett. The matchup against the Marlins […]

Anibal Sanchez Looks Better Friday

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Anibal Sanchez (calf) is having far less trouble walking around on Friday after he suffered a bruised left calf in his start on Thursday. The Braves are hopeful he will be able to make his start next Tuesday. The veteran right-hander has been great, going 6-3 with a 2.83 ERA, 1.05 […]

Eduardo Rodriguez Looks Great Friday

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez (ankle) looked "electric" during his live batting practice session on Friday, according to manager Alex Cora. Rodriguez will throw one more batting practice session and then appear in a rehab game. E-Rod will be a huge addition to an already strong Red Sox rotation. He was 11-3 with […]

Derek Dietrich Expected To Move To First Base

With the trade of first baseman Justin Bour to the Phillies, Miami Marlins outfielder Derek Dietrich is expected to move to first base regularly, with Rafael Ortega and Isaac Galloway platooning in left field. Garrett Cooper should return from the disabled list in a few weeks and can also play first base. Outfielder Magneuris Sierra […]

Jimmy Yacabonis To Start Game 1 Saturday

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Jimmy Yacabonis will start the first game of a doubleheader against the Red Sox on Saturday, with Yefry Ramirez going in the second game. That's about as ugly as it can get. Yacabonis has a 7.15 ERA, 1.94 WHIP and 11 strikeouts in 11 1/3 innings over four outings (two starts) […]

Cedric Mullins To Be Everyday Center Fielder

Baltimore Orioles outfield prospect Cedric Mullins will be the team's everyday center fielder moving forward, with Adam Jones moving to right field. Mullins is the team's No. 9 prospect, and they might as well get a good look at him to close out the year with nothing on the line. He was hitting .288 with […]

Steven Matz Could Return Next Thursday

New York Mets starting pitcher Steven Matz (arm) will throw a simulated game on Saturday and will then be re-evaluated for a possible start in Thursday's doubleheader against the Phillies. The left-hander was blown up for seven runs in two-thirds of an inning in his last start July 31 before landing on the disabled list, […]

Jay Bruce Nearing Rehab Assignment

New York Mets outfielder Jay Bruce (hip) is nearing a rehab assignment. Bruce has been out since June 17 and has been a huge fantasy bust in 2018. He's hitting only .212/.292/.321 with three home runs and 17 RBI in 212 at-bats. He could provide some pop down the stretch, but there are much better […]

Blake Swihart To Play In Rehab Game This Weekend

Boston Red Sox catcher Blake Swihart (hamstring) will play in a rehab game this weekend and could come off the disabled list when eligible early next week. Swihart has only 115 at-bats this year and sports a slash line of .226/.288/.304 with six home runs, six RBI and three stolen bases. He's a bench bat […]

Lewis Brinson Working Out Friday

Miami Marlins outfielder Lewis Brinson (hip) is taking batting practice and doing some work in the outfield on Friday. He could be close to going on a rehab assignment. Brinson was overmatched earlier this year, hitting an embarrassing .186 with 10 home runs, 30 RBI and 22 runs scored. He is likely to return to […]

Buccaneers Working Out Nick Rose

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are working out free-agent place kicker Nick Rose on Friday as potential competition for Chandler Catanzaro, who missed an extra-point attempt and a long field goal in the preseason game on Thursday. Catanzaro made up for it by making the game-winning kick. The Bucs obviously aren't comfortable with Catanzaro just yet. […]

Mike Trout Put On DL

The Los Angeles Angels placed outfielder Mike Trout (wrist) on the disabled list with right wrist inflammation on Friday. Nobody wants to see one of the best overall players in the game hit the shelf, but the good news is that Trout hasn't played since last Wednesday, and his DL stint can be backdated. On […]

Carlos Correa Activated From DL

Houston Astros shortstop Carlos Correa (back), who has missed the last 36 games with a back injury, was activated from the disabled list on Friday. Correa should be back in the starting lineup against the Mariners and starter Mike Leake. The star shortstop is a must-start fantasy option.

Phillies Acquire Justin Bour

The Philadelphia Phillies are acquiring first baseman Justin Bour and cash from the Miami Marlins on Friday in exchange for a minor league pitcher, according to sources. Bour was hitting only .227 for the Fish, but he does have 19 home runs and 54 RBI on the season. A move to the first-place Phillies may […]

Jake Faria Good To Go

Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Jake Faria (neck), who has been bothered by a sore neck recently, threw a bullpen session on Thursday and said he's "good to go." Faria made his first appearance (in relief) on Aug. 1 after having not started a game since May 22 due to injury. He could become an option […]

William Cuevas To Start Game 2 Saturday

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher William Cuevas will start the second game of a doubleheader against the Orioles on Saturday, according to a source. The 27-year-old has made just one relief appearance for Boston this year and allowed a solo home run in two innings. He's posted a 3.45 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 7.8 K/9 […]

Kyle Barraclough Lands On DL

The Miami Marlins placed relief pitcher Kyle Barraclough (back) on the 10-day disabled list on Friday with lower back stiffness. Outfielder Rafael Ortega was recalled from Triple-A New Orleans and relief pitcher Drew Rucinski (groin) has also been activated from the DL. It's been a bad couple weeks for Barraclough to put it nicely. He […]

Derrius Guice Has Torn ACL

Updating a previous report, Washington Redskins rookie running back Derrius Guice (knee) has suffered a torn ACL, according to a source. It was previously believed that Guice had just suffered a sprained MCL, but this is obviously much worse news and will keep the promising rookie out for all of 2018. He should still be […]

Danny Valencia Designated For Assignment

The Baltimore Orioles designated third baseman Danny Valencia for assignment on Friday and recalled outfielder Cedric Mullins from Triple-A Norfolk in a corresponding move. Valencia was hitting .263 with nine long balls and 28 RBI in 78 games for the O's. He can be useful against left-handers as a veteran presence off the bat. Mullins […]

J.P. Crawford Activated From DL

The Philadelphia Phillies activated shortstop J.P. Crawford (hand) from the 10-day disabled list on Friday. Crawford was hitting a measly .194/.312/.333 with two homers and eight RBI in 93 at-bats. He'll be a bench glove/bat now with Asdrubal Cabrera seeing most of the time at shortstop.
