Aaron Judge Held Out Of The Lineup

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge is not playing on Tuesday against the Blue Jays in Toronto. Judge will take a seat after playing in the team's last 22 games, but the Yankees could hold him out the rest of the way to close out the 2023 regular season with nothing on the line. The […]

Felix Bautista Throws Sim Game Tuesday

Baltimore Orioles closer Felix Bautista (elbow) threw a 25-pitch simulated game on Tuesday at Camden Yards. It was the first time that Bautista has faced hitters since being diagnosed with a partially torn UCL in his right elbow last month.

Brandon Belt Activated And Starting Tuesday

The Toronto Blue Jays activated first baseman Brandon Belt (back) from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday and also recalled reliever Jay Jackson from the minors.

Randy Arozarena Out For Rays On Tuesday

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Randy Arozarena (quadriceps) is out of the team's starting lineup on Tuesday against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park. Arozarena will miss his third straight game with right-quadriceps tightness. It's bad news for fantasy managers that were counting on him to help them out in the final week of the […]

Matt McLain Out For Rest Of The Season

Cincinnati Reds rookie infielder Matt McLain (oblique) aggravated his oblique injury (a Grade 2 strain) during his minor-league rehab assignment over the weekend and will now miss the rest of the regular season. Even if the Reds somehow capture the final wild-card spot in the National League, which is highly unlikely at this point, McLain […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers and Colorado Rockies are playing a doubleheader at Coors Field on Tuesday, and Dodgers catcher Will Smith will start on the bench for Game 1 with the team taking on right-hander Chase Anderson.

Caleb Ferguson Serving As Game 1 Opener Tuesday

Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander Caleb Ferguson is serving as the team's opener on Tuesday for the first game of their doubleheader against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field. After Ferguson goes a few innings, right-hander Ryan Pepiot is expected to enter as the bulk reliever. The 27-year-old Ferguson isn't a recommended fantasy streamer, as it […]

Andrew Heaney Has Scoreless Relief Outing Monday

In the team's 5-1 win over the Los Angeles Angels on Monday night, Texas Rangers left-hander Andrew Heaney threw 1 1/3 scoreless innings in relief, not allowing a single hit and also not walking or striking out a batter.

Texas Rangers right-hander Max Scherzer (shoulder) ramped up the intensity of his flat-ground throwing session on Monday. "It's another step forward," Scherzer said. "I'm continuing to strengthen my arm. [Throwing off] the mound is close." When the Rangers placed Scherzer on the injured list two weeks ago with a right teres-major strain, he was expected […]

Tyler Higbee Has Best Game Of The Season On Monday Night

Although the Los Angeles Rams ended up falling short by a score of 19-16 in the Monday night loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, tight end Tyler Higbee had his best game of the young season in Week 3. Higbee caught all five of his targets for a season-high 71 yards. His five receptions were tied […]

Jaguars Didn't Use New Play-Caller In Week 3

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson said after the disappointing Week 3 loss to the Houston Texans that reports of him taking over as the play-caller were "false." Through three weeks, the Jaguars have scored more than two touchdowns in just one game, including a six-quarter stretch between Weeks 2 and 3 where they didn't […]

Cody Bradford To Serve As Opener Tuesday

Texas Rangers rookie left-hander Cody Bradford is set to serve as the team's opener on Tuesday on the road against the Los Angeles Angels.

Los Angeles Angels rookie first baseman Nolan Schanuel (knee) was pulled from Monday's loss to the Texas Rangers in the seventh inning after fouling a ball off his knee earlier in the game.

Michael Brantley Was Available Off The Bench

The Houston Astros didn't need him in their big win over the division-rival Seattle Mariners on Monday night, but manager Dusty Baker said before the game that outfielder Michael Brantley (shoulder) would be available off the bench. Brantley didn't make his 2023 debut until Aug. 29 due to a shoulder injury that required surgery late […]

Arrest Warrant Issued For J.C. Jackson

Los Angeles Chargers cornerback J.C. Jackson violated the terms of his probation, and a Massachusetts judge issued an arrest warrant on Monday after Jackson failed to appear in court last Friday. Jackson was charged with driving 100 mph in Massachusetts in 2021 while he was a member of the New England Patriots. He never paid […]

Jets Could Add Another QB This Week

New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh wouldn't say if the team planned on adding another quarterback this week, saying it was a question for general manager Joe Douglas. "Everyone is held accountable," Saleh said when asked with QB Zach Wilson ranking near the bottom of every major statistical category as a passer, if he's […]

Joe Burrow Officially Active On Monday Night

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (calf) is officially active on Monday night against the Los Angeles Rams after being listed as questionable to play. Burrow aggravated his right-calf strain in Week 2, an injury that kept him out for all of training camp and the preseason. The 26-year-old was able to do enough throughout the […]

Puka Nacua Active Against Bengals

Los Angeles Rams rookie wide receiver Puka Nacua (oblique) is officially active for the Monday night game against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 3. Nacua has been dealing with an oblique injury the last two weeks, but he was never really expected to be in any danger of sitting out. The 23-year-old has burst onto […]

Alvin Kamara Reinstated From Suspension

The New Orleans Saints officially reinstated running back Alvin Kamara from suspension on Monday. The Saints will be getting Kamara back for his 2023 debut in Week 4 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and it's good timing with Jamaal Williams (hamstring) on Injured Reserve. Rookie Kendre Miller led the backfield in the Week 3 loss […]

Brandon Aiyuk Seen At Monday's Practice

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk (shoulder) was seen participating in practice on Monday. The Niners aren't required to release an official injury report this week until Wednesday, but it's a good sign that Aiyuk is back on the practice field after he was held out of last Thursday night's win over the New […]

Deebo Samuel Held Out Of Monday's Practice

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel (ribs) was not seen at the team's practice on Monday. Samuel took a hard shot to his ribs in last Thursday night's blowout victory over the New York Giants, so his status for Week 4 against the Arizona Cardinals is somewhat in question. The 49ers won't release their […]

David Montgomery Listed As Limited

Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery (thigh) was listed as a limited practice participant on the team's estimated injury report on Monday after they went through a walkthrough. Montgomery didn't play in the Week 3 win over the Atlanta Falcons, but it seems as though he'll have a chance to return after missing just one […]
