Belt […]

Yency Almonte Begins Rehab Assignment

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Yency Almonte (knee) is starting a minor-league rehab assignment for Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday.

Erasmo Ramirez Designated For Assignment

The Tampa Bay Rays designated right-hander Erasmo Ramirez for assignment on Saturday and recalled right-hander Cooper Criswell from Triple-A Durham in a corresponding move.

Luis Garcia Picks Up Two Hits In Win Over Braves

Washington Nationals second baseman Luis Garcia went 2-for-5 with a double and an RBI in the team's 10-6 victory over the Atlanta Braves on Friday night.

Ronald Acuna Jr. Steals Two More Bases Friday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. didn't even play a full game in Friday's 10-6 loss to the visiting Washington Nationals, but he still managed to steal two bases while going 1-for-2 with an RBI and a run scored.

Saquon Barkley Expected To Be Game-Time Decision

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) will practice again on Saturday, and head coach Brian Daboll expects to take the decision on whether Barkley plays on Monday against the Seattle Seahawks up to game time.

Derek Carr Likely To Be Game-Time Decision

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr (shoulder) wants to play in Week 4 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but it's likely going to come down to a game-time decision on Sunday, according to a source.

Bengals Place Charlie Jones On Injured Reserve

The Cincinnati Bengals placed rookie wide receiver Charlie Jones (thumb) on Injured Reserve and acquired linebacker Devin Harper off waivers from the Dallas Cowboys in a corresponding move on Saturday.

Justice Hill Expected To Play Sunday

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill (toe), who is listed as questionable to play in Week 4 against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday due to turf toe, is expected to play, according to sources. Melvin Gordon III is also likely to get another call-up to the active roster from the practice squad to serve as […]

Will Dissly Limited Again Friday

Seattle Seahawks tight end Will Dissly (shoulder) was limited for the second straight day in practice on Friday. Dissly was held out of the Week 3 win over the Carolina Panthers, but he appears to at least have a shot at returning on Monday night this week on the road in New York against the […]

Kyle Van Noy Being Added To Active Roster

The Baltimore Ravens are signing free-agent linebacker Kyle Van Noy to their 53-man active roster on Saturday, according to a source. The move comes just four days after the team added Van Noy to their practice squad, and now he inks a deal that positions him to be on the roster for the rest of […]

Cowboys Rule Tyron Smith Out For Week 4

The Dallas Cowboys have ruled left tackle Tyron Smith (knee) out for the Week 4 game on Sunday against the New England Patriots. Smith didn't actually miss the Week 3 upset loss to the Arizona Cardinals, but he didn't play at all and stayed on the sidelines, so he'll effectively be missing his second straight […]

Texans Rule Out Laremy Tunsil, Josh Jones

Houston Texans offensive tackles Laremy Tunsil (knee) and Josh Jones (hand) have both been ruled out for Sunday's clash versus the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 4. Austin Deculus is expected to start at left tackle this weekend, which could be extremely bad news for rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud and the Texans offense against Steelers pass-rushers […]

Damar Hamlin Expected To Make Season Debut

Buffalo Bills defensive back Damar Hamlin is expected to be active in Week 4 against the division-rival Miami Dolphins on Sunday for the first time since suffering cardiac arrest in a Monday night game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Jan. 2.

Humphrey […]

Justin Simmons Questionable, Josey Jewell Ruled Out

The Denver Broncos defense could be short-handed in Week 4 on the road in Chicago against the Bears as they look to put the bad taste of giving up 70 points to the Miami Dolphins in Week 3 behind them. Safety Justin Simmons (hip) is listed as questionable to play on Sunday, while linebackers Josey […]

Derwin James Doubtful For Week 4

Los Angeles Chargers star free safety Derwin James (hamstring) was unable to practice all week and is doubtful to suit up this Sunday for a Week 4 matchup against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders. The Bolts defense could be quite short-handed this weekend, with star pass-rusher Joey Bosa (hamstring, toe) and safety Alohi Gilman (heel) […]

Maxx Crosby Questionable For Week 4

Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby (knee) is listed as questionable for the Week 4 divisional clash on Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers. The good news, though, is that the Pro Bowl pass-rusher put in a limited practice on Friday after being a DNP on Thursday. The Raiders defense won't have linebacker Curtis […]

DeVonta Smith Has No Injury Designation

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (illness) was limited in practice on Friday and was removed from the final Week 4 injury report, so he will play on Sunday against the Washington Commanders.

Osvaldo Bido To Start On Friday

Pittsburgh Pirates rookie right-hander Osvaldo Bido will make the start on Friday for the beginning of a series against the Miami Marlins. This will mark Bido's ninth career major-league start, but he won't be a recommended fantasy streamer against a Marlins squad that is fighting for their playoff lives in the final weekend series of […]

Luis Campusano Starting On The Bench Again

San Diego Padres catcher Luis Campusano will start Friday's game against the Chicago White Sox on the bench for the fourth straight game. In his absence, Brett Sullivan will do the catching and hit seventh against White Sox right-hander Dylan Cease. Campusano isn't believed to be dealing with an injury, and it's a bit odd […]

Kris Bryant Still Out Sick

Colorado Rockies outfielder Kris Bryant (illness) remains out of action on Friday with the team taking on the visiting Minnesota Twins. Bryant has been under the weather of late and will now miss his fourth straight game. With just two more regular season games this weekend, we may not see Bryant again in 2023. Elehuris […]

Yandy Diaz Back Against Blue Jays

Tampa Bay Rays first baseman Yandy Diaz (hamstring) is back in action on Friday against the Toronto Blue Jays and left-hander Yusei Kikuchi, serving as the designated hitter and batting leadoff.

Luis Arraez Remains Out Friday

Miami Marlins second baseman Luis Arraez (ankle) remains out of the starting lineup on Friday against the Pittsburgh Pirates due to a left-ankle sprain that he aggravated over the weekend.

Miguel Cabrera To Join Tigers Front Office

Following Sunday's regular season finale, Detroit Tigers designated hitter Miguel Cabrera will become the team's special assistant to the president of baseball operations. Cabrera will officially hang up his cleats and retire after a storied career that will surely lead him to being a first-ballot Hall of Famer. But when he's done putting on a […]

Paul Goldschmidt Back In Cardinals Lineup

St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt (back) is back at first base and is hitting second on Friday against the visiting Cincinnati Reds and left-hander Brandon Williamson.
