Ryan Brasier Expected To Return On Saturday

Los Angeles Dodgers right-handed reliever Ryan Brasier (calf) is expected to come off the 60-day injured list and rejoin the team in St. Louis on Saturday for their weekend series against the Cardinals at Busch Stadium. A right-calf strain has kept Brasier away from LA since April 27. The 36-year-old veteran threw eight scoreless innings […]

The Baltimore Orioles optioned rookie infielder Coby Mayo to Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday and recalled infielder Livan Soto from Norfolk in a corresponding move.

Dawson Knox Misses Thursday's Practice

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox (ankle, groin) did not take part in Thursday's training camp practice due to a pair of injuries.

There's no indication that […]

Gardner Minshew II To Start This Weekend

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Aidan O'Connell got the start in the preseason opener last week, so Gardner Minshew II will get the nod on Saturday against the Dallas Cowboys, with both QBs set to play a quarter as they continue their competition.

With Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb not at training camp due to a contract holdout, veteran Brandin Cooks continues to be quarterback Dak Prescott's top target.

Dallas Cowboys second-year running back Deuce Vaughn (hamstring) returned to the team's joint practice on Wednesday with the Los Angeles Rams after being sidelined two weeks with a hamstring injury.

Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said that the team is "in the middle" of their search for a WR2 behind Terry McLaurin, with a lot of players in the mix.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder/infielder Mookie Betts will take a day to rest in Thursday's series finale against the Milwaukee Brewers at American Family Field. The lefty hitting Jason Heyward will make the start in right field and will hit seventh against Brewers right-hander Tobias Myers. Betts returned from a fractured hand on Monday and played […]

Julio Rodriguez Out After Aggravating Ankle Injury

Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez (ankle) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's series finale against the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park aggravating his right-ankle injury in Wednesday's extra-inning loss. It's concerning for Rodriguez after he just came off the 10-day injured list due to a right-ankle sprain this past weekend. For now, fantasy […]

Jorge Soler Removed With Hamstring Tightness

Atlanta Braves outfielder/designated hitter Jorge Soler (hamstring) was removed as a precaution from Wednesday night's game against the hosting San Francisco Giants due to left-hamstring tightness.

Houston Astros right-hander Ronel Blanco (finger) left his start early on Wednesday on the road at Tropicana Field against the Tampa Bay Rays with a sore left index finger after a comebacker grazed him.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott (ankle) returned to full participation for Wednesday's joint practice with the Los Angeles Rams.

A.J. Minter To Have Hip Surgery

Atlanta Braves left-hander reliever A.J. Minter (hip) visited with a specialist and will need surgery on his hip.

Given where we're at in […]

Trevor Megill To Start Rehab Assignment On Thursday

Milwaukee Brewers right-handed reliever Trevor Megill (back) will begin a minor-league rehab assignment with High-A Wisconsin on Thursday. Megill lost most of his fantasy appeal when regular closer Devin Williams returned from a lengthy injured-list stint, but Megill should return to a high-leverage bullpen role once he's activated from the 15-day injured list. The 30-year-old […]

Jon Gray Throws Bullpen On Wednesday

Texas Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said that right-hander Jon Gray (groin) threw a bullpen session on Wednesday.

Max Scherzer Has "Nerve Injection"

Texas Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said on Wednesday that right-hander Max Scherzer (shoulder) received a "nerve injection" and is feeling "really good."

Nathan Eovaldi To Start On Saturday

Texas Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said that right-hander Nathan Eovaldi (oblique) "feels good" after throwing a bullpen session on Wednesday, and he is set to start on Saturday against the Minnesota Twins.
