J.P. Crawford To Move Rehab To Single-A

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop J.P. Crawford (hand) has moved his rehab assignment to High-A Clearwater, where he is expected to play on Wednesday. He could be back as soon as early next week.

Jay Bruce To Resume Swinging Wednesday

New York Mets outfielder Jay Bruce (hip) will resume swinging on Wednesday, and he's moving closer to a rehab assignment. Bruce is coming along slowly, but at least he's making progress now. The left-handed slugger has been a bust this year with a .212 average, three home runs and 17 RBI in 212 at-bats. Fantasy […]

Byron Buxton Receives Good News

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton's (wrist) MRI exam showed no significant damage to his left wrist, only inflammation, according to manager Paul Molitor.

George Springer Leaves Game With Shoulder Soreness

Houston Astros outfielder George Springer (shoulder) left the game early on Tuesday in the second inning with left shoulder soreness. Springer injured himself during a hard dive in the outfield.

Xander Bogaerts Has Hand Contusion

Boston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts (hand) has a hand contusion after being hit by a pitch in the ninth inning on Tuesday.

Jesus Luzardo To Be Promoted To Triple-A

Oakland Athletics general manager David Forst said that pitching prospect Jesus Luzardo will be moved to Triple-A Nashville after his start for Double-A on Tuesday.

The Detroit Tigers called outfielder Mike Gerber up from Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday. He will take the place of Leonys Martin, who was traded to the Indians on Tuesday. Gerber, the team's No. 26 prospect, was batting only .214 but had 13 home runs and 33 RBI in 69 games on the farm. He could […]

Justin Turner Could Return This Weekend

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner (groin) had another good workout on Tuesday, and manager Dave Roberts is encouraged with his progress.

The "initial plan" is for Houston Astros shortstop Carlos Correa (back) to start a rehab assignment with Double-A Corpus Christi on Thursday, according to manager A.J. Hinch.

Wilmer Flores Leaves Game With Dehydration

New York Mets infielder Wilmer Flores left the game early Tuesday due to dehydration and dizziness. Flores should be alright in a day or two.

Saints Signing Michael Floyd

The New Orleans Saints are signing free-agent wide receiver Michael Floyd on Tuesday, according to a source. Ever since a DUI arrest while with the Arizona Cardinals in 2016, Floyd has been well off the fantasy radar. He managed a 1,000-yard season with Arizona in 2013 on 65 catches. The former first-round pick in 2012 […]

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll continues to rave about the shape that running back C.J. Prosise is in at training camp. Prosise is now an option on third downs but will have to remain healthy after missing 21 of a possible 32 games in his first two years in the league. Not only will […]

Harrison Bader, Tyler O'Neill To Split Playing Time

St. Louis Cardinals outfielders Harrison Bader and Tyler O'Neill will split playing time in center field about 50-50, according to general manager John Mozeliak.
