Tyler Glasnow Going On Injured List With Back Injury

Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Tyler Glasnow (back) is going on the 15-day injured list with a back issue, according to manager Dave Roberts. Glasnow's back tightened up on him when he played catch on Sunday, so he'll hit the shelf and rest up during next week's All-Star break. Perhaps this is why Glasnow has allowed […]

Tommy Pham Returns On Tuesday

Chicago White Sox outfielder Tommy Pham (mouth) is back in the starting lineup on Tuesday against the visiting Minnesota Twins and right-hander Bailey Ober, playing right field and batting leadoff for the Pale Hose.

Lucas Gilbreath Back On Track

Colorado Rockies left-hander Lucas Gilbreath (elbow, shoulder) has recovered from a shoulder issue that slowed his return from Tommy John surgery.

Colton Cowser Out Again Against A Right-Hander

Baltimore Orioles rookie outfielder Colton Cowser is not in the team's starting lineup on Tuesday against the visiting Chicago Cubs with a right-hander on the mound.

The contest between the St. Louis Cardinals and Kansas City Royals on Tuesday in St. Louis has been postponed due to inclement weather and will be made up as part of a split doubleheader on Wednesday, July 10.

Toney missed training camp and the preseason in 2023 while recovering from surgery to fix the meniscus and cartilage in his knee. He struggled in the regular season with drops […]

Louis Rees-Zammit To Compete For No. 3 RB Job

The best and perhaps most direct way for Kansas City Chiefs running back Louis Rees-Zammit, a speedster and former rugby star, to earn a spot on the initial roster is by excelling as a kickoff returner. However, he will also compete with Deneric Prince and Keaontay Ingram for the third RB spot on the depth […]

Commanders Could Move On From Jonathan Allen After This Season

Washington Commanders defensive tackle Jonathan Allen, a two-time Pro Bowl selection, has two years left on a four-year, $72 million contract extension he signed in 2021. However, the remaining seasons include zero guaranteed dollars. There's a potentially incompatible $23 million salary cap hit in 2025, with only $6 million in dead cap. Washington drafted defensive […]

Rockies Slow-Playing Antonio Senzatela's Rehab

The Colorado Rockies are sticking with the plan to keep right-hander Antonio Senzatela (elbow) from pushing to quicken his return from Tommy John surgery last July.

Josh Rogers Rehabbing In Arizona

Colorado Rockies left-hander Josh Rogers (shoulder) made five appearances for the Rockies between May 27 and June 14, when he went on the injured list with a left rotator-cuff strain.

Jake Bird Feeling Good

Colorado Rockies right-hander Jake Bird (groin) was placed on the 15-day injured list (retroactive to June 23) with a right-groin strain prior to the team's game against the Houston Astros on June 26.

Lodolo is returning from a blister on one of his fingers on his left hand after missing the last two weeks. The 26-year-old southpaw will be a bit more risky for fantasy […]

Phillies Keeping A Close Eye On Brent Rooker

The Philadelphia Phillies are keeping a close eye on Oakland Athletics left fielder Brent Rooker with this summer's trade deadline approaching at the end of July. The Phillies rank 26th in OPS among left fielders this season. The addition of Rooker in Philadelphia would mostly be bad news for Brandon Marsh, who has mostly played […]

Miami Marlins left-hander Jesus Luzardo (back) is on the 60-day injured list until at least Aug. 18 with a lumbar stress reaction in his back, but it hasn't stopped teams from inquiring about his availability with the trade deadline approaching at the end of this month.

Luis Robert Jr. Unlikely To Be Traded

General managers around the league are skeptical as to whether any team will meet the Chicago White Sox's high asking price for oft-injured center fielder Luis Robert Jr. However, the market for right-handed starting pitcher Erick Fedde, who is 6-3 on the year with a 3.13 ERA, is expected to be robust leading up to […]

Angels Likely To Hang Onto Taylor Ward, Tyler Anderson, Griffin Canning

The Los Angeles Angels are expected to trade relievers Carlos Estevez and Luis Garcia, but unless they receive overwhelming offers this summer, they will likely hang onto outfielder Taylor Ward and starting pitchers Tyler Anderson and Griffin Canning.

Jordan Walker Not In Consideration To Return To The Big Leagues

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Jordan Walker currently has a .686 OPS in 53 games at Triple-A Memphis and is not even in the conversation for a promotion back to the big leagues after he was sent back to the farm at the end of April. The 22-year-old formers 21st overall pick in 2020 hit just […]

Orioles Likely To Trade For Starting Pitching

The Baltimore Orioles only have three starting pitchers that are under team control beyond the 2024 season. It means that the Orioles will need as many as three starters before next season.
