Greg Holland Released

The St. Louis Cardinals released relief pitcher Greg Holland on Wednesday after they were unable to find a trade partner for him. The team designated Holland for assignment earlier this week after he posted an atrocious 7.92 ERA, 2.24 WHIP and 22 strikeouts in 25 innings for the Red Birds this year. He's likely to […]

Kolten Wong To Play In Rehab Game Thursday

St. Louis Cardinals second baseman Kolten Wong (knee) will play a rehab game with Single-A Peoria on Thursday and will play second base. He went on the disabled list with inflammation in his left knee on July 23. Wong is really only useful in NL-only leagues with his .216 average to go along with seven […]

Kevin Gausman To Start Saturday

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Kevin Gausman, who was acquired from the Orioles on Tuesday, will make his debut with the team on Saturday against the Mets. He was originally schedule to start on Friday, but a rainout on Wednesday pushed everyone back in the rotation. While Gausman has been hit or miss this year with […]

Ross Stripling To Return Against Rockies

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Ross Stripling (toe) said he will be activated from the disabled list in time to start Aug. 9 or 10 at the Rockies. Stripling has been great overall for the Blue this year with an ERA under 3.00, but he allowed nine earned runs in just 8 2/3 innings in […]

Dodgers To Activate Justin Turner On Thursday

The Los Angeles Dodgers plan to activate third baseman Justin Turner (groin) from the disabled list on Thursday. Turner will return to an underwhelming .259/.354/.398 line with five home runs and 20 RBI in a disappointing 2018 season. He just has never really been healthy this year, so he could pick things up in the […]

Johnny Cueto To Have Tommy John Surgery

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Johnny Cueto (elbow) will have Tommy John surgery in Los Angeles on Thursday, which will end his season. It could also keep the veteran righty out for all of next year, so it's a big blow for the Giants. His season started off so great for his fantasy owners, but […]

Blake Jarwin Impressing In Training Camp

DallasCowboys.com's Bryan Broaddus thinks Dallas Cowboys tight end Blake Jarwin has been the team's most impressive tight end so far in training camp. With Jason Witten retired and Dez Bryant a free agent, the Cowboys have a lot of targets up for grabs this year. Geoff Swaim is more of a blocker, so Jarwin may […]

Tyler Saladino The Odd Man Out

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Tyler Saladino was optioned to Triple-A on Wednesday to make room for second baseman Jonathan Schoop, who was acquired from the Orioles on Tuesday. Saladino was hitting .259 with four home runs and 15 RBI on the season for the Brewers, but the team's infield is much too crowded now after the […]

DJ LeMahieu Likely To Return Thursday

Colorado Rockies second baseman DJ LeMahieu (oblique) hit off relief pitcher Chris Rusin on Wednesday and felt great. He's likely to come off the disabled list on Thursday and start at second base. LeMahieu should be returned to all starting lineups if he indeed comes back on Thursday. He was hitting .278 with eight home […]

Kolten Wong Not Expected To Return Thursday

St. Louis Cardinals second baseman Kolten Wong (knee) isn't expected to return from the disabled list on Thursday, according to manager Mike Shildt. Wong did some running and sliding in pre-game drills on Wednesday, so he could return at some point this weekend. He went on the disabled list on July 22. Wong is mostly […]

Kevin Gausman Expected To Make Debut Friday

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Kevin Gausman, who was acquired from the Orioles on Tuesday, will join the team in New York on Thursday and is expected to make his debut with the team on Friday against the Mets, according to manager Brian Snitker. Gausman has been a headache to own in fantasy with his 5-8 […]

Sonny Gray Could Be Bumped From Rotation

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone isn't ruling out removing starting pitcher Sonny Gray from the rotation. Gray allowed eight hits and seven earned runs in just 2 2/3 innings against the lowly Orioles on Wednesday to raise his ERA for the year to 5.56. A career-high 3.92 BB/9 isn't helping his cause. It's an […]

Jordan Matthews Still With Patriots

New England Patriots wide receiver Jordan Matthews (hamstring) was placed on Injured Reserve on Wednesday and wasn't released, as was reported earlier, according to a source. He could negotiate an injury settlement and eventually be released by the team. Either way, Matthews won't be in the team's plans this year, which is a shame for […]

Shohei Ohtani Out Wednesday

Los Angeles Angels designated hitter Shohei Ohtani is not in the starting lineup against a right-hander on Wednesday. The Angels are giving him a breather after he's hit just .203 with three home runs and five RBI in 22 games in July. Perhaps his injured elbow is bothering him a bit swinging the stick, too. […]

Cedrick Wilson Placed On IR

The Dallas Cowboys placed wide receiver Cedrick Wilson (shoulder) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday. In other news, defensive end Randy Gregory passes his physical his physical, which makes him eligible to practice. Wilson was taken in the sixth round of this year's draft, so he'll miss what would've been his rookie season. He probably wasn't […]

Terrelle Pryor Doing Team Drills Wednesday

New York Jets wide receiver Terrelle Pryor (ankle) is taking part in team drills on Wednesday for the first time at training camp, and he looks to be a full participant. It's good news for Pryor, who couldn't afford to fall any further behind as he battles for playing time in a crowded receiver room. […]

Eric Skoglund, Jesse Hahn Moving Rehab To Triple-A

Kansas City Royals starting pitchers Eric Skoglund (shoulder) and Jesse Hahn (elbow) have both had their rehab assignments moved to Triple-A Omaha. Both pitchers could return in the next week or two but would be very weak streaming options limited to AL-only leagues if they're in the starting rotation. Skoglund has a 6.70 ERA, 1.39 […]

Jose Altuve To Test Knee On Friday

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve (knee) is expected to test his right knee on Friday at Dodgers Stadium, which will include some running and hitting. Altuve should be able to rejoin the team sometime next week, although he's eligible to come off the disabled list this Sunday. The 28-year-old is hitting a sparkling .329 […]

George Springer Likely Available Wednesday

Houston Astros outfielder George Springer (shoulder) is likely available off the bench on Wednesday. He performed shirtless jumping jacks in front of manager A.J. Hinch after the game Tuesday night to show that he has full range of motion in his left shoulder. Springer hurt himself on a dive in the outfield on Tuesday and […]

Kyle Seager To Return Thursday

Seattle Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager's three-day paternity leave ends on Wednesday, and he'll return to the team Thursday. Seager has hit just .224 with one homer and eight RBI on the month, so hopefully his new kid coming into the world will spark his bat. You'll want to get him back into your lineups […]

Matt Joyce Expected To Resume Swinging Soon

Oakland Athletics outfielder Matt Joyce (back) thinks a second epidural injection for his back strain worked, and he is expected to resume swinging again soon. The veteran outfielder has been limited to just 63 games this year and has hit an ugly .203 with seven home runs and 13 RBI. You shouldn't be counting on […]

Josh Doctson's Injury Isn't Serious

It looks like Washington Redskins wide receiver Josh Doctson (shoulder) is dealing with an AC joint sprain/shoulder bruise after injuring himself in practice Wednesday. It's a day-to-day type of injury, so Doctson should be just fine. After a lost rookie season due to injury, Doctson had 35 catches for 502 yards and six touchdowns in […]

Carlos Correa To Play Seven Innings In Rehab Game Thursday

Houston Astros shortstop Carlos Correa (back) will play shortstop for seven innings with Double-A Corpus Christi on Thursday. He is targeting the team's next homestand for his return from the disabled list. The Astros return home next Thursday, so fantasy owners should be looking to get Correa back into their lineups around then. The star […]

Phillip Evans Leaves Game Early Wednesday

New York Mets infielder Phillip Evans (knee) left the game early on Wednesday with knee pain. It's unclear how severe his injury is, so stay tuned. Evans has hit just .143/.217/.143 in 23 plate appearances this year and won't see enough consistent playing time to be a fantasy option.

Anthony Castonzo Removed From NFI List

Indianapolis Colts left tackle Anthony Castonzo (hamstring) passed his physical Wednesday and has been removed from the Non-Football Injury list. It's great news for quarterback Andrew Luck and the running game in Indy. First-round pick Quenton Nelson will be playing right next to Castonzo at left guard.

David Njoku Dropping Passes Early In Camp

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku has been dropping a lot of passes early on in training camp. The drops are concerning, but it's still very early in camp and Njoku figures to be the team's top pass-catching tight end in an improved offense. He should take a leap forward from his 32 receptions, 386 […]

Frank Gore Not Looking His Age

Miami Dolphins veteran running back Frank Gore, 35, has not looked his age so far in training camp. “He doesn’t look different than he did 10 years ago,” said head coach Adam Gase, who coached Gore as an offensive assistant with the 49ers in 2008. “He does a phenomenal job. He’s been preparing all spring. […]

Patriots Release Jordan Matthews

The New England Patriots released wide receiver Jordan Matthews (hamstring) on Wednesday after he suffered an injury in practice Sunday, according to a league source. Matthews' injury was said to be significant, so he was likely to miss extended time. Perhaps the Pats will turn to free-agent Eric Decker as depth with Julian Edelman suspended […]

Josh Doctson Injures Shoulder Wednesday

Washington Redskins wide receiver Josh Doctson (shoulder) suffered a shoulder injury on Wednesday, and an update on his status should be released Thursday. The 25-year-old played in just two games in his rookie season due to an injury, so he's no stranger to missing time. He is set for a big role in the offense […]

Kyle Tucker Sent Down

The Houston Astros optioned outfielder Kyle Tucker to the minors on Wednesday to make room for outfielder Jake Marisnick. With George Springer (shoulder) day-to-day, Marisnick could find himself in the starting lineup, although he was hitting under .200 with Houston before his demotion. Tucker had only seven hits in 45 at-bats (.156) in his first […]
