Ryan Mountcastle Goes On Injured List

The Baltimore Orioles placed first baseman Ryan Mountcastle (shoulder) on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday with left-shoulder soreness and recalled outfielder Ryan McKenna from Triple-A Norfolk in a corresponding move. Mountcastle had missed the last seven games, so the injured-list move was backdated to Sunday, meaning he is eligible to return a week from […]

Miles Sanders Limited On Wednesday

Carolina Panthers running back Miles Sanders (pectoral) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday. Its a new injury for Sanders, but the fact that he was limited in the first practice of the week likely means it's nothing too serious. The former Philadelphia Eagles RB took a step back in Week 2 on […]

Browns Reiterate That Jerome Ford Is Their Lead Back

Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski reiterated on Wednesday that running back Jerome Ford "is the lead back." As expected, Cleveland reunited with Kareem Hunt on a one-year deal after Nick Chubb suffered a gruesome season-ending knee injury in the Monday night loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Ford looked great in relief of Chubb on […]

Amari Cooper Not Practicing Wednesday

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Amari Cooper (groin, shoulder) was held out of practice on Wednesday. Cooper was listed as questionable for the Monday night game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, but he suited up and led the team with seven receptions (10 targets) for 90 yards in the loss. He apparently picked up a shoulder injury […]

Christian Watson Off To A Good Start This Week

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (hamstring) was able to do individual drills in practice on Wednesday.

Mack Hollins A Desperation Play In Deep Leagues

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Mack Hollins hasn't been non-existent in the Falcons' limited passing game through two weeks, but he also isn't a recommended flex play heading into a pretty juicy matchup against the Detroit Lions on the road. Through the first two games of the 2023 season, Hollins has six receptions on 10 targets […]

Desmond Ridder Has A Good Matchup In Week 3

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Desmond Ridder will be facing a Detroit Lions defense in Week 3 on the road that has allowed 25.1 fantasy points per game (fifth-most) to the QB position through two weeks.

MacKenzie Gore's Season Is Over

Washington Nationals manager Dave Martinez confirmed that left-hander MacKenzie Gore's (finger) season is over.

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton (knee) has been hitting, throwing and running, and the goal is still to get him back in minor-league rehab games for Triple-A St. Paul.

Shane Bieber To Start On Friday

Cleveland Guardians right-hander Shane Bieber (elbow) threw a bullpen session in Kansas City on Tuesday that went well enough that the team announced he will make his return from the 60-day injured list to start on Friday against the Baltimore Orioles at home. It will be his first start since July 9 after he was […]

Yordan Alvarez Out Of The Lineup Against O's

Houston Astros outfielder/designated hitter Yordan Alvarez is taking the day off on Wednesday against the visiting Baltimore Orioles.

Carlos Correa Placed On Injured List Wednesday

The Minnesota Twins are placing shortstop Carlos Correa (foot) on the injured list on Wednesday and are recalling outfielder Trevor Larnach from the minors in a corresponding move.

Javier Baez Scratched With Back Tightness

Detroit Tigers shortstop Javier Baez (back) was scratched from Tuesday's lineup against the Los Angeles Dodgers with lower-back tightness. Zack Short replaced him at shortstop.

The 30-year-old Puerto Rican has been a major disappointment in his second season in Detroit, hitting […]

Yusei Kikuchi Removed Due To Cramping

Toronto Blue Jays left-hander Yusei Kikuchi was removed from his start early on Tuesday against the New York Yankees in the Bronx with a left upper trap muscle cramp, according to the team. It was still a positive outing for Kikuchi, as he was able to pick up his 10th win of the season by […]

Atlanta Braves left-hander Max Fried (finger) is scheduled to make his return to the starting rotation on Thursday against the Washington Nationals.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Randal Grichuk (head) took a pitch to the head in Tuesday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays and was forced to leave the game early. The good news is that he was able to leave the field under his own power. It was a glancing blow that ricocheted off of Grichuk's […]

Minnesota Twins infielder Royce Lewis (hamstring) left Tuesday's game early against the Cincinnati Reds with left-hamstring tightness.

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) was listed as a non-participant for the second straight day on Tuesday.
