Spencer Steer Could Be Headed For Full-Time Outfield Role

Cincinnati Reds third baseman Spencer Steer could be set up to play the outfield regularly moving forward following the team's acquisition of corner infielder Jeimer Candelario this week. When the Reds traded for Steer in 2022, he brought up the idea of learning the outfield to the team's player development staff because he recognized that […]

Jorge Lopez Agrees To One-Year Deal With Mets

Free-agent right-handed reliever Jorge Lopez and the New York Mets agreed to a one-year, $2 million deal on Thursday, according to sources. The 30-year-old pitched for the Minnesota Twins, Miami Marlins and Baltimore Orioles in 2023 and had a poor 5.95 ERA (5.76 FIP), 1.51 WHIP, three saves, 22 walks and 49 strikeouts in 59 […]

Tyler Conklin Stays Limited At Practice

For the second straight day this week, New York Jets tight end Tyler Conklin (hamstring) put in a limited practice. Conklin hasn't missed a single game all year and appears to be on the right track to suit up in Week 14 against the Houston Texans. He has yet to find the end zone in […]

Aaron Rodgers Returns To Limited Practice

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) had a planned off day in his rehab on Wednesday but returned to a limited practice on Thursday. The fact that Rodgers is even practicing at all after tearing his Achilles in Week 1 is amazing in itself. With that said, the 40-year-old still isn't close to game […]

D'Onta Foreman Practices In Full Again

Chicago Bears running back D'Onta Foreman (ankle) was a full participant in practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Foreman tweaked his ankle in Week 11 and didn't play in Week 12 as a result. The team's Week 13 bye looks like it did Foreman some good and he's trending in the right direction […]

Chase Brown Looks Ready To Play

Cincinnati Bengals rookie running back Chase Brown (hamstring) didn't have any limitations in practice on Thursday following a limited designation in practice a day earlier. The 23-year-old third-rounder should be able to play on Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts unless he suffers a setback on Friday. Brown looked fresh and was given a season-high nine […]

Hayden Hurst, Tommy Tremble Limited Thursday

Carolina Panthers tight ends Hayden Hurst (concussion), Tommy Tremble (hip) and Stephen Sullivan (shoulder) were limited in Thursday's practice session. Hurst suffered a serious concussion in Week 10 that resulted in post-traumatic amnesia. It's nice to see him back on the practice field and his head injury isn't believed to be career-threatening, but we shouldn't […]

Tyrod Taylor Practicing In Full

New York Giants quarterback Tyrod Taylor (ribs) was listed as a full participant on Thursday's estimated practice report. The Giants designated Taylor to return from Injured Reserve earlier this week, opening up a 21-day window for him to officially be activated from IR. The G-Men are going to stick with undrafted rookie Tommy Devito as […]

Rashod Bateman Feeling Better Thursday

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (illness) returned to a full practice on Thursday after he sat out with an illness on Wednesday. Coming off a bye, Bateman should now be good to go for the Week 14 contest versus the Los Angeles Rams. Even with tight end Mark Andrews (ankle) expected to miss the […]

Wander Suero Signs With Astros

Free-agent right-hander Wander Suero signed a minor-league deal with the Houston Astros on Thursday. Suero will simply give the Astros some extra relief depth entering the 2024 season. The 32-year-old veteran reliever pitched in eight innings in five appearances out of the Los Angeles Dodgers' bullpen in 2023 and allowed seven earned runs on six […]

Red Sox Involved With Shota Imanaga

The Boston Red Sox are one of many teams interested in Japanese free-agent left-hander Shota Imanaga this offseason. It's no secret that the Red Sox are in need of starting pitching heading into the 2024 campaign. They are also in on free-agent starters Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Jordan Montgomery and Seth Lugo, among others, and they could […]

Giants, Padres Interested In Harrison Bader

The San Francisco Giants and San Diego Padres have been active on center fielders this offseason, including Harrison Bader. Korean outfielder Jung-Hoo Lee is also of interest to both the Giants and the Padres, as well as plenty of other teams. The Padres just dealt outfielders Juan Soto and Trent Grisham in a blockbuster deal […]

Red Sox Not Ready To Make Masataka Yoshida A Full-Time DH

There has been speculation that the Boston Red Sox want to move outfielder Masataka Yoshida to a designated hitter role, but chief baseball officer Craig Breslow has been preaching the importance of Yoshida in the field. The team still thinks Yoshida has value as a defender in the outfield, and manager Alex Cora thinks added […]

Red Sox Interested In Ha-Seong Kim?

Boston Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow said the team is currently engaged in conversations for a second baseman in free agency and the trade market, but it seems "more likely that would be a trade pursuit." Boston prefers a strong defensive second baseman, which makes Ha-Seong Kim, Whit Merrifield and Brandon Drury more […]

Mets, Pete Alonso Haven't Talked Extension

The New York Mets and All-Star first baseman Pete Alonso have not talked about a long-term contract extension yet this offseason, according to a source. Alonso notably hired Scott Boras as his agent back in October and he isn't scheduled to reach free agency until after the 2025 season. There wasn't much rush to talk […]

Yankees Haven't Had Extension Talks With Juan Soto

New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said that the team hasn't had any conversations with recently acquired outfielder Juan Soto about a long-term contract extension. Cashman and the Yankees understand that Soto could only be a short-term acquisition, but even so, the left-handed slugger will make the Bombers much better offensively in 2024. The […]

Aaron Judge's Toe Injury "A Resolved Issue"

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge's (toe) injury is "a resolved issue," according to general manager Brian Cashman. "We think it's behind him." Judge never required surgery for a torn ligament in his right big toe that he suffered when he crashed into the outfield wall at Dodgers Stadium on June 4. It was an […]

Durham Smythe Misses Practice Thursday

Miami Dolphins tight end Durham Smythe (ankle) was unable to practice with the rest of the team on Thursday. Smythe apparently injured his ankle in the Week 13 win over the Washington Commanders and is now up in the air to play on Monday Night Football in Week 14 against the Tennessee Titans. Fantasy managers […]

De'Von Achane Listed With Ribs Injury

Miami Dolphins rookie running back De'Von Achane (ribs) was able to practice in full on Thursday, but he was listed with a ribs injury instead of a knee injury that planted him on Injured Reserve earlier in 2023. The 22-year-old third-rounder from Texas A&M was held out in Week 12 as a precaution due to […]

Raheem Mostert Sits Out On Thursday

Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (knee) was held out of the team's first practice of the week on Thursday, as has become the norm for him this year. Mostert has been getting a veteran rest day early in the week before returning to practice and suiting up on Sundays. Fantasy managers should prepare to […]

Tyreek Hill Picks Up DNP In First Practice

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (ankle) was listed as a non-participant for the team's first practice of the week on Thursday. The Dolphins gave their best player a veteran rest day, so we should expect Hill to return to practice on Friday and eventually be fine to suit up on Monday Night Football against […]

Geno Smith Added To Injury Report With Groin Issue

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith (groin) was added to the Week 14 injury report on Thursday due to a groin injury that kept him limited in practice. Mid-week additions to the injury report aren't the greatest of signs, but we'll have a better idea of how serious Smith's groin injury is after the team's practice […]

Kenneth Walker III, Zach Charbonnet Limited Thursday

Seattle Seahawks running backs Kenneth Walker III (oblique) and rookie Zach Charbonnet (knee) were both upgraded to a limited practice on Thursday after they didn't take part in Wednesday's practice. Walker has missed the last two games with a moderate oblique strain that he suffered in Week 11, while Charbonnet suffered a bruised knee in […]

Tyler Higbee In Danger Of Missing Week 14

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (neck) has yet to practice this week after missing another session on Thursday. Higbee cleared the concussion protocol after taking a hard hit in the Week 13 win over the Cleveland Browns, but he's dealing with a stinger that could keep him out of action this coming Sunday […]

Puka Nacua Practices Without Limitations Thursday

Los Angeles Rams rookie wide receiver Puka Nacua (shoulder) went from being limited in practice on Wednesday to a full participant in Thursday's session. Head coach Sean McVay didn't seem worried about Nacua at all on Wednesday despite the fact that he suffered an AC joint sprain in his right shoulder in the Week 13 […]

DeVante Parker Ruled Out, JuJu Smith-Schuster Active Thursday

New England Patriots wide receiver DeVante Parker (knee) has been ruled out for the Thursday night game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Meanwhile, JuJu Smith-Schuster (ankle) is active and will play. Both players came into the Week 14 contest as questionable. Rookies Demario Douglas (concussion) and Kayshon Boutte (shoulder) were already ruled out, so a Patriots […]

Najee Harris Officially Active Thursday Night

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris (knee) is officially active for the Thursday night contest against the visiting New England Patriots. Harris was listed as questionable on the final injury report, but the 25-year-old was expected to play and will be active as the Steelers look to bounce back after a Week 13 loss to […]

Kendre Miller Looks Set To Miss Another Game

New Orleans Saints rookie running back Kendre Miller (ankle) stayed off the practice field on Thursday for the second straight day this week. Miller hasn't practiced or played since injuring his ankle in Week 10 and looks set to miss yet another contest this Sunday when the team takes on the division-rival Carolina Panthers. The […]

Juwan Johnson Stays Limited Thursday

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson (quadriceps) stayed limited at practice on Thursday for the second straight day this week. Johnson could end up with a questionable tag on Friday's final Week 14 injury report, but all signs point to him playing in Week 14 against the Carolina Panthers. There aren't going to be […]

Taysom Hill Absent Again On Thursday

New Orleans Saints tight end/quarterback/running back Taysom Hill (foot, hand) remained sidelined at practice on Thursday for the second straight day this week. Hill is looking pretty questionable to play this weekend against the Carolina Panthers unless he returns to the practice field on Friday. The 33-year-old Swiss Army Knife had a season-high 13 carries […]
