J.D. Martinez Taking A Seat Against Oakland

Los Angeles Dodgers designated hitter J.D. Martinez (hamstring) will retreat to the bench on Tuesday against the visiting Oakland Athletics. The Dodgers haven't revealed the results of Martinez's MRI exam after he was forced to depart Sunday's game early against the Cincinnati Reds with left-hamstring tightness, so fantasy managers should continue to consider the 35-year-old […]

Will Smith Starting For Dodgers Tuesday

Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Will Smith (elbow) is back in the starting lineup on Tuesday to face left-hander Ken Waldichuk and the Oakland Athletics. Smith is doing the catching and batting third in the lineup. X-rays came back negative for Smith after he was hit by a pitch in the left elbow of Sunday's series […]

Nolan Jones Returns For Rockies

Colorado Rockies outfielder Nolan Jones is back in the starting lineup on Tuesday against San Diego Padres right-hander Pedro Avila after leaving Monday's game early with mild cramping. Jones is starting in right field and is hitting sixth in the batting order. In his first full big-league season, the 25-year-old left-handed hitter is batting an […]

Mike Evans Could Get A New Deal

Recent regimen changes have Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans feeling like he could play well into his 30s. He'll turn 30 this month, and he's entering the last year of his current deal with a $23.7 million salary cap hit. The sense out of Buccaneers training camp is that a new deal for […]

Broncos Sign Fabian Moreau On Tuesday

The Denver Broncos signed free-agent veteran cornerback Fabian Moreau to an undisclosed one-year deal on Tuesday, according to a source. Moreau, who worked out for the Miami Dolphins recently, lands with the Broncos after appearing in 14 games (11 starts) for the New York Giants in 2022. The 29-year-old finished with 66 tackles (50 solo) […]

Jalen Hurd Hangs Up His Cleats

The New England Patriots placed wide receiver Jalen Hurd on the Reserve/Retired list on Tuesday. Hurd didn't make it too far into training camp this summer before deciding that he didn't want to play professional football anymore. The 27-year-old's career was defined by injuries after the San Francisco 49ers drafted him in the third round […]

Raiders Work Out Rex Burkhead, Damien Williams

The Las Vegas Raiders worked out free-agent running backs Rex Burkhead and Damien Williams on Tuesday. Josh Jacobs has yet to sign his franchise tag and could possibly hold out into the start of the 2023 regular season, so the Raiders would be wise to consider adding RB depth to a list that includes Ameer […]

Cowboys Not Ruling Out Reunion With Ezekiel Elliott

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones isn't ruling out the team re-signing running back Ezekiel Elliott after Ronald Jones received a two-game suspension to start the 2023 season due to performance-enhancing drugs. When asked about the possibility of a reunion with Elliott, Jones said "we're reading the tea leaves." Dallas has been saying all along that […]

Javonte Williams Not Limited At Training Camp

Denver Broncos running back Javonte Williams (knee) hasn't been limited at all physically at training camp this summer, and it's the coaches that have to hold him back. In his mind, he's cleared his last hurdle when he was given the green light to practice in full pads. Given Williams' recovery from a torn ACL, […]

Anthony Richardson Takes Starting Reps Tuesday

Indianapolis Colts rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson (nose) returned to training camp practice on Tuesday after having nasal-septum surgery and received his most starting work so far in training camp. Richardson is also up eight to 10 pounds from his playing days in college, now weighing around 248-250 pounds. The young signal-caller went just 5-for-13 at […]

Garrett Wilson Should Return Saturday

New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh said that wide receiver Garrett Wilson (ankle) should return to training camp practice on Saturday.

The 23-year-old second-year wideout won't feature at all in Thursday's Hall of Fame game against the Cleveland Browns, […]

Mookie Betts Returns To Dodgers Lineup

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts (ankle) is back in right field and batting in his customary leadoff spot on Tuesday against the visiting Oakland Athletics.

J.T. Realmuto Scratched With Hand Injury

Philadelphia Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto (hand) is being scratched from Tuesday's starting lineup against the Miami Marlins due to a right-hand laceration that he suffered during a slide recently.

Rangers Acquiring Catcher Austin Hedges From Pirates

The Texas Rangers are acquiring catcher Austin Hedges from the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday, according to sources. It's unclear what the Pirates are getting in return, but it's unlikely to be anyone of significance in terms of minor-league prospects. The Rangers could use some more catching depth with Jonah Heim (wrist) currently on the 10-day […]

Yordan Alvarez Retreats To Bench Tuesday

Houston Astros outfielder/designated hitter Yordan Alvarez is not in the starting lineup on Tuesday against the visiting Cleveland Guardians.

Trea Turner Dropped To Seventh Against Marlins

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Trea Turner is starting at shortstop and batting seventh in the lineup on Tuesday against the Miami Marlins and right-hander Sandy Alcantara. The struggling Turner was recently dropped to fifth in the batting order and now finds himself all the way down in the No. 7 spot. Kyle Schwarber is leading off […]

Brendan Donovan To Have Season-Ending Surgery

St. Louis Cardinals infielder/outfielder Brendan Donovan (arm) will have season-ending surgery on Wednesday to fix a flexor strain in his right arm. The injury has been the reason why Donovan hasn't been able to play defense for the Cardinals since late June. As long as Donovan doesn't have any setbacks, he should be good to […]

Dodgers Deal For Eduardo Rodriguez Is Dead

The Los Angeles Dodgers and Detroit Tigers had a trade in place for left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez, but Rodriguez invoked his 10-team no-trade clause that included the Dodgers, and the deal is now dead, according to sources.

White Sox Land Prospect Jake Eder From Marlins

The Chicago White Sox are acquiring left-handed pitching prospect Jake Eder from the Miami Marlins in exchange for third baseman Jake Burger on Tuesday, according to sources.

Marlins Acquire Jake Burger From White Sox

The Miami Marlins acquired third baseman Jake Burger from the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday in exchange for pitching prospect Jake Eder, according to sources.

Aaron Judge Managing Soreness In His Toe

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (toe) is dealing with some soreness in his big right toe, which is why he's serving as the designated hitter on Tuesday for the second day in a row against Tampa Bay Rays right-hander Zach Eflin. The Yankees are hopeful that Judge's soreness will continue to get better, according […]

Ronny Mauricio Not Being Called Up Tuesday

Several New York Mets minor-leaguers are at the ready at the team's hotel in Kansas City on trade-deadline day on Tuesday, potentially waiting to take the place of players they expect to move, but shortstop prospect Ronny Mauricio isn't one of them. The Mets have already traded starting pitchers Max Scherzer and outfielder Mark Canha, […]

Nolan Gorman Remains Out Against Twins

St. Louis Cardinals infielder Nolan Gorman (back) remains out of Tuesday's starting lineup against the visiting Minnesota Twins.

No Structural Damage For Bo Bichette

Updating a previous report, Toronto Blue Jays manager John Schneider said that shortstop Bo Bichette (knee) underwent an MRI exam on Monday night that showed no significant structural damage, just inflammation. Bichette is considered day-to-day for now. There's a good chance that Bichette won't play on Tuesday against the Baltimore Orioles after leaving early on […]

Brewers Acquire Andrew Chafin From Diamondbacks

The Milwaukee Brewers are acquiring left-handed reliever Andrew Chafin from the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday, according to a source. It's unclear what the Brewers are sending the D-backs in return.

Tommy Edman Activated From Injured List

The St. Louis Cardinals activated infielder/outfielder Tommy Edman (wrist) from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday and recalled right-hander Zack Thompson from Triple-A Memphis in a corresponding move. Edman returns to St. Louis after missing three weeks with right-wrist inflammation, but he's a candidate to be moved at Tuesday's deadline, so he might not be […]

Bo Bichette Not Expected To Be Out Long

The Toronto Blue Jays acquired shortstop Paul DeJong from the St. Louis Cardinals at the trade deadline on Tuesday as depth for star shortstop Bo Bichette (knee), but Bichette isn't expected to be out for long.

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton is not in the team's starting lineup on Tuesday against the visiting Tampa Bay Rays.

Stanton has started the last 18 games, […]

Raiders Release O.J. Howard

With Las Vegas Raiders tight ends Michael Mayer and Jesper Horsted having strong training camps to this point, the Raiders released veteran O.J. Howard on Tuesday. Howard continues to decline after being a first-round pick by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers back in 2017. The 28-year-old didn't do much at all in his lone season with […]

Rays Acquire Adrian Sampson, Manuel Rodriguez From Cubs

The Tampa Bay Rays acquired right-handers Adrian Sampson, Manuel Rodriguez and cash considerations from the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday in exchange for minor-league pitcher Josh Roberson.
