Mookie Betts Expected To Play Second Base Frequently In 2024

Los Angeles Dodgers general manager Brandon Gomes said outfielder Mookie Betts playing second base against right-handers is expected to be a frequent occurrence again next season. It's just another thing that will give the Dodgers flexibility. The ultra-athletic Betts made a seamless transition to the keystone in 2023 in 62 starts there and will continue […]

Trent Williams Still Not Practicing

San Francisco 49ers left tackle Trent Williams (ankle) was unable to take part in the team's first official practice on Wednesday coming out of the bye week.

Ryan Tannehill Back On The Practice Field Wednesday

Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill (ankle) made his return to practice on Wednesday and was listed as a limited participant. It was the first time that Tannehill has practiced since suffering a high-ankle sprain in Week 6. The veteran signal-caller is clearly improving, but the Titans named rookie quarterback Will Levis as their starter moving […]

Will Levis Managing Foot Injury

Tennessee Titans rookie quarterback Will Levis (foot) finds himself on the Week 10 injury report with a foot injury, but he was listed as a full practice participant on Wednesday. It's worth noting, but the Titans have already named Levis as their starter for this Sunday's contest against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It will be […]

Curtis Samuel Back At Practice

Washington Commanders wide receiver Curtis Samuel (toe) was listed as a limited participant in the first official practice of the week on Wednesday. This is notable because it's Samuel's first practice session since he injured his toe in Week 8. The 27-year-old sat out practice all of last week and didn't play in the Week […]

Jahan Dotson Expected Back At Practice Thursday

Washington Commanders wide receiver Jahan Dotson (personal) missed practice on Wednesday for personal reasons but is expected to return on Thursday. There shouldn't be any doubt as to whether Dotson will play this Sunday in Week 10 against the Seahawks on the road in Seattle. After a very slow start to his second NFL season […]

Tyler Lockett Still On The Injury Report

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett (hamstring) remains on the Week 10 injury report with a nagging hamstring injury and was listed as limited in the team's practice on Wednesday. Lockett has now been on Seattle's injury report for over a month with a hamstring injury, but he hasn't missed any games and should be […]

Jaxon Smith-Njigba A Non-Participant In Practice

Seattle Seahawks rookie wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba (hip) was listed as a non-participant in Wednesday's practice. It's the first time that Smith-Njigba has found his way onto Seattle's injury report during the regular season in his first NFL campaign. The 21-year-old has been more productive of late, but the Seahawks' offense has left a lot […]

Kenneth Walker III Misses Wednesday's Practice

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (chest) was listed as a non-participant in Wednesday's practice due to a chest injury. Fellow RB DeeJay Dallas (shoulder) also sat out. Walker's injury comes on the heels of a disastrous game in the Week 9 blowout loss to the Baltimore Ravens, in which he had nine carries […]

Aaron Jones Can't Shake Hamstring Injury

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones (hamstring) remains on the Week 10 injury report and was limited in the team's practice on Wednesday. However, Jones wasn't sporting a non-contact jersey in the first practice of the week like he was last week, so apparently the 28-year-old is making progress after all from an injury […]

Josh Downs Starts Week With DNP

Indianapolis Colts rookie wide receiver Josh Downs (knee) was unable to practice with the team on Wednesday. Downs picked up a knee injury late in practice last week but was active for the Week 9 contest against the Indianapolis Colts. However, the 22-year-old rookie was injured early in that game and never returned. The fact […]

Tee Higgins Limited With Hamstring Injury

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (hamstring) popped up on the Week 10 injury report with a hamstring injury and was listed as limited in practice on Wednesday. It doesn't seem to be a very serious injury, but it's worth watching, especially with Ja'Marr Chase (back) missing Wednesday's session due to a back ailment. Speculative […]

Bryce Harper Sticking At First Base Moving Forward

Philadelphia Phillies president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski spoke to Bryce Harper, and the plan moving forward is for Harper to play only first base.

Michael Wilson Puts In Limited Practice Wednesday

Arizona Cardinals rookie wide receiver Michael Wilson (shoulder) remains on the Week 10 injury report due to a shoulder injury and was limited in practice on Wednesday.

Emari Demercado Still Not Practicing

Arizona Cardinals rookie running back Emari Demercado (toe) remains out of practice on Wednesday. Demercado suffered a toe injury in Week 8 and was inactive for the Week 9 loss to the Cleveland Browns.

Deebo Samuel Practicing In Full

Coming out of the bye week, San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel (shoulder) is practicing in full and appears ready to make his return in a Week 10 clash against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

K.J. Osborn Still In Concussion Protocol

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver K.J. Osborn (concussion) was diagnosed with a concussion after a scary injury in the Week 9 win over the Atlanta Falcons. It appears he's still in the league's concussion protocol, too, as he didn't practice with the team on Wednesday. It puts his status firmly in doubt for Week 10 against […]

T.J. Hockenson Limited With Ribs Injury

Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson (ribs) injured his ribs in the Week 9 win over the Atlanta Falcons and was limited in the first official practice of the week on Wednesday.

Ka'imi Fairbairn Misses Practice

Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn (quadriceps) was not present at practice on Wednesday and is trending toward missing the Week 10 contest against the Cincinnati Bengals. Fairbairn injured his quadriceps muscle during a kickoff in the Week 9 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and could end up missing multiple games, so fantasy managers that […]

Nico Collins On The Week 10 Injury Report

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins (calf) popped up on the Week 10 injury report on Wednesday and was listed as a limited practice participant. Collins didn't do anything during the portion of practice open to the media, but he evidently got some work in before everything was said and done. Fantasy managers will still […]

Alek Manoah In Position To Earn Starting Spot In 2024

Toronto Blue Jays pitchers Kevin Gausman, Chris Bassitt, Jose Berrios and Yusei Kikuchi are all slated to return to the team's starting rotation next year, and general manager Ross Atkins confirmed that right-hander Alek Manoah (arm) will be in a good spot to earn the final rotation spot come spring training despite his disappointing 2022, […]

Adam Oller Agrees To Deal With Guardians

Free-agent right-hander Adam Oller agreed to terms with the Cleveland Guardians on Wednesday that includes an invitation to spring training, according to a source.

Angels Hire Ron Washington As New Manager

The Los Angeles Angels hired Atlanta Braves third base coach Ron Washington as their new manager on Wednesday. They will give him an undisclosed two-year contract.

Jarren Duran Doing Weight-Bearing Exercises

Boston Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran (toe) is doing weight-bearing exercises as he progresses in his rehab from a toe injury.

Triston Casas Close To Starting A Hitting Program

Boston Red Sox first baseman Triston Casas (shoulder) is getting close to starting a hitting program this offseason now that his shoulder injury has healed up. Casas was unable to finish out the 2023 regular season due to inflammation in his right shoulder, but he didn't need surgery of any kind and will have plenty […]

Lance McCullers Jr. Might Not Return Until July

Houston Astros right-hander Lance McCullers Jr.'s (forearm) agent, Scott Boras, said on Wednesday that his client is "certainly going to be pitching next year, no doubt," but he also didn't give a specific timeline for when McCullers might be back. General manager Dana Brown said on Tuesday that McCullers might not return until sometime in […]

David Peterson Out 6-7 Months After Hip Surgery

New York Mets left-hander David Peterson (hip) underwent surgery to fix a labrum tear in his left hip on Monday, according to the team. It's an injury that typically takes six to seven months to return from, which means Peterson is unlikely to be ready until May or early June of 2024. The 28-year-old southpaw […]
