Brooks Lee Unlikely To Make Opening Day Roster

Minnesota Twins shortstop prospect Brooks Lee is unlikely to earn a spot on the major-league roster directly out of spring training in 2024. The Athletic's Aaron Gleeman views the situation as similar to Edouard Julien's last spring, when coaches were buzzing about Julien to the point a midseason call-up was inevitable. The Twins would love […]

Red Sox Rebuffed On Logan Gilbert, George Kirby

It's no secret that the Boston Red Sox are looking for starting pitching help this offseason, whether through free agency or a trade, although they're far more interested in acquiring a pitcher with multiple years of control. They approached the Seattle Mariners about young right-handers Logan Gilbert and George Kirby but were rebuffed. It's going […]

Free-agent left-hander Clayton Kershaw (shoulder) said he "feels great" five weeks removed from left-shoulder surgery and that he will be back next summer "at some point."

Shohei Ohtani's Elbow Injury Much Different From His First

Los Angeles Dodgers two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani (elbow) wouldn't confirm whether he had a second Tommy John surgery, but he did say his second elbow procedure this September "was completely different" from the first Tommy John he had on his right arm in 2018. Either way, Ohtani is not expected to be available at all […]

Jack Flaherty Goes To Tigers On One-Year Deal

Free-agent right-hander Jack Flaherty agreed on a one-year, $14 million with the Detroit Tigers on Thursday. Flaherty was in the National League Cy Young race in 2019 with the St. Louis Cardinals but was limited by injuries several years later and hasn't quite been the same since with ERAs over 4.00 each of the last […]

Breece Hall Stays Limited In Practice

New York Jets running back Breece Hall (ankle) was limited in the practice session on Thursday for the second straight day this week. Hall has played through the same ankle issue for the last several weeks and has been just fine, so it's pretty safe to expect him to play in Week 15 against the […]

Geno Smith Set To Practice Thursday

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said that quarterback Geno Smith (groin) "feels really good" and is set to practice on Thursday. The Seahawks will take it day to day this week, but the hope is that Smith can play in Week 15 against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday night after he was inactive for […]

Brian Robinson Jr. Misses Another Practice

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. (hamstring) was unable to practice with the team for the second straight day on Thursday.

Donald Parham Jr. Inactive For Thursday Night Football

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Donald Parham Jr. (shoulder) is not active for Thursday night's battle against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders. Parham put in some limited practices on a short week but will ultimately not play after receiving a questionable tag in Week 15. At best, the 26-year-old has a been a touchdown-dependent TE2 […]

Las Vegas Raiders All-Pro pass-rusher Maxx Crosby (knee) is officially active on Thursday night against the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers in Week 15.

As has been the routine for most of the year, Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (knee) returned to a limited practice on Thursday after he was held out of the team's walkthrough on Wednesday.

The Dolphins […]

Josh Reynolds Questionable To Face Broncos

Detroit Lions wide receiver Josh Reynolds (back) is officially listed as questionable for Week 15 against the Denver Broncos on Saturday after popping up on Thursday's injury report due to a back injury. Reynolds was limited in practice on both Thursday and Friday, so he could be a game-time decision for this one. The 28-year-old […]

Josh Jacobs Won't Play Thursday Night

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (quadriceps), who was listed as questionable for Thursday night's clash with the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers, will not play. Jacobs was trending this way after getting injured in the Week 14 loss to the Minnesota Vikings and then not practicing at all on a short week. It's a […]

Kendre Miller Trending Towards Missing Another Game

New Orleans Saints rookie running back Kendre Miller (ankle) missed a second straight practice this week on Thursday and is unlikely to play in Week 15 against the New York Giants unless he gets back on the practice field on Friday. The 21-year-old third-rounder hasn't practiced or played since spraining his ankle in Week 9. […]

Jamaal Williams Limited In Practice Again

New Orleans Saints running back Jamaal Williams (groin) was listed as a limited participant in practice for the second straight day on Thursday.

Taysom Hill Limited Again On Thursday

New Orleans Saints tight end/quarterback Taysom Hill (foot, hand) is trending towards a return in Week 15 against the New York Giants following his absence in the Week 14 win over the Carolina Panthers. Hill has had two straight limited practices this week. The 33-year-old veteran continues to be a Swiss Army Knife for the […]

Chris Olave Out Again On Thursday

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave (ankle) missed a second straight practice this week on Thursday. Olave saw his snaps limited in the Week 14 win over the Carolina Panthers after coming into the game questionable due to an illness and he finished with only four catches for 28 yards but saved his fantasy […]

AJ Dillon Dealing With Broken Thumb

Green Bay Packers running back AJ Dillon (thumb) suffered a broken thumb in Monday night's upset loss to the New York Giants on the final drive of the game. "Got hit with a helmet lined up the right way," Dillon said. The 25-year-old had his thumb wrapped on Thursday and is still figuring out if […]
