Frankie Montas A Realistic Target For Twins

The Athletic's Aaron Gleeman believes a player like right-handed free-agent Frankie Montas is a realistic free-agent target for the Minnesota Twins this offseason coming off an injury. The Twins also had interest in Montas at the 2022 trade deadline when the New York Yankees acquired him from the Oakland Athletics. Left-hander James Paxton is another […]

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 […]

Free-agent right-hander Jack Flaherty agreed on a one-year, $14 million with the Detroit Tigers on Thursday.

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 […]

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said that quarterback Geno Smith (groin) "feels really good" and is set to practice on Thursday.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 […]
