Giancarlo Stanton Not Playing Monday

New York Yankees outfielder/designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton is getting the day off on Monday with the Arizona Diamondbacks in town. Aaron Judge is serving as the designated hitter and batting in the two-hole, while rookie Everson Pereira (hamstring) returns to left field and the nine-hole against Diamondbacks right-hander Merrill Kelly. Stanton is in a funk […]

Frankie Montas Could Return In Final Week

New York Yankees right-hander Frankie Montas (shoulder) isn't being ruled out for a potential return to the team for the final week of the 2023 season. Montas has been on the 60-day injured list all year after shoulder surgery this spring, but he's been working hard to make an appearance before the season ends. He's […]

Kevin Newman Activated And DFA'd

The Cincinnati Reds reinstated infielder Kevin Newman (oblique) from the 10-day injured list on Monday and then designated him for assignment. Newman missed over a month with an oblique injury and will now not be with the Reds as they look to somehow secure the final wild-card spot in the National League over the final […]

Oswaldo Cabrera Starting Again Against Arizona

New York Yankees outfielder Oswaldo Cabrera is making another start in right field and is batting sixth in the order on Monday against the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks and right-hander Merrill Kelly. It will be Cabrera's 12th straight start for the Yankees, with most of his starts coming with rookie Everson Pereira sidelined due to a […]

Francisco Alvarez Dealing With Finger Contusion

New York Mets rookie catcher Francisco Alvarez (finger) appears to have avoided serious damage after getting hit on the fingers by foul balls in the game on Sunday against the Philadelphia Phillies. "Just a finger contusion," manager Buck Showalter said. "He's been getting hit a lot lately." With the Mets having nothing to play for […]

Tommy Kahnle Lands On 15-Day Injured List

The New York Yankees placed right-hander Tommy Kahnle (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list (retroactive to Sept. 22) on Monday with right-shoulder inflammation and recalled right-hander Matt Bowman from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in a corresponding move. Kahnle will now be forced to miss the final week of the 2023 regular season, but he should be fine […]

Ketel Marte Absent From Lineup On Monday

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte (illness) remains out of the starting lineup on Monday against the New York Yankees. Geraldo Perdomo is starting at the keystone and will hit in the nine-hole against Yankees right-hander Clarke Schmidt. Marte will miss his second straight game while being under the weather, but he's apparently feeling better […]

Mike Trout's Season Is Over

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (wrist) was moved to the 60-day injured list on Sunday, and manager Phil Nevin said that Trout's season is over. Trout was hoping to return for the final week of the regular season, but he's not going to end up making it back after all. The 32-year-old fractured the […]

Dontayvion Wicks Stays Involved In Week 3 Win

Green Bay Packers rookie wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks caught four passes on a career-high six targets for 45 yards in the team's 18-17 comeback win on Sunday over the New Orleans Saints in their home opener in Week 3. Wicks didn't find the end zone like he did in Week 2, but he had career-highs […]

Patrick Mahomes "All Good" After Injury Scare

Kansas City Chiefs star quarterback Patrick Mahomes (ankle), who was limping at one point in the Week 3 blowout win over the Chicago Bears on Sunday after getting his ankle rolled up, is "all good," according to a source.

Patrick Taylor Sees Six Touches In Comeback Win

Green Bay Packers running back Patrick Taylor saw an expanded role for the second straight week with Aaron Jones (hamstring) inactive in the 18-17 comeback win over the New Orleans Saints on Sunday. Taylor, working as the backup to AJ Dillon, had three carries for six yards and caught three of his four targets for […]

Hunter Renfrow Barely There In Week 3

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Hunter Renfrow continued his trend of barely being involved in the offense in the 23-18 loss to the visiting Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday Night Football. Renfrow was targeted just two times in the contest, catching them both for 17 total yards. The 27-year-old managed to play a season-high 37 offensive […]

Najee Harris Does Little With 19 Touches

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris continued to underwhelm in the Sunday night win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Harris was once again the clear backfield leader with a team-high 19 carries, but he gained only 65 yards (3.4 yards per tote) and failed to haul in his only target in the passing game. Pittsburgh's […]

George Pickens Leads Steelers In Receiving Sunday Night

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens led the team in receiving in their 23-18 Sunday night victory over the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 3, catching four of his six targets for a team-high 75 yards.

Quentin Johnston's Role Could Be About To Grow

If Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams' knee injury causes him to miss significant time (potentially the rest of the season), first-round rookie receiver Quentin Johnston could be called upon much earlier than expected moving forward. Johnston played 27 percent of the offensive snaps in his NFL debut in Week 1 and just 15 […]

Adam Trautman Puts Up Donut For Second Straight Week

Denver Broncos tight end Adam Trautman is completely off the fantasy radar. His role was expected to increase as far as pass-catching duties go once the team placed Greg Dulcich (hamstring) on Injured Reserve, but it just hasn't transpired. Even in a lopsided 70-20 loss to the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, Trautman was targeted only […]

Marvin Mims Jr. Shows Off Big-Play Abilities Again

The Denver Broncos were embarrassed on Sunday in a record-breaking 70-20 loss to the Miami Dolphins in Week 3, but rookie wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. was a bright spot for the second straight week thanks to his big-play ability. Mims caught three of his five targets for 73 yards on offense and also returned […]

Jerry Jeudy Posts Five Catches For 81 Yards

Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy had a quietly productive game on Sunday in the record-breaking 70-20 loss to the Miami Dolphins in Week 3. Jeudy was overshadowed by fellow wideout Courtland Sutton and Miami's explosive offense, but he finished the day with a respectable five catches on seven targets for 81 yards in the […]

Courtland Sutton Scores Second Touchdown, Fumbles Twice

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton led the team in catches (eight), targets (11) and receiving yards (91) while hauling in his second touchdown of the season in the 70-20 embarrassing loss to the Miami Dolphins on Sunday in Week 3. It wasn't all good for Sutton, though, as he also lost two fumbles as […]

Samaje Perine Out-Carried By Jaleel McLaughlin

Denver Broncos running back Samaje Perine's fantasy value has taken a nosedive in the last two weeks. The Broncos running game never really had a chance in the 70-20 shellacking at the hands of the Miami Dolphins on Sunday in Week 3, but Perine was out-carried by rookie Jaleel McLaughlin. McLaughlin saw five carries for […]

Javonte Williams Has Another Quiet Game In Blowout Loss

The Denver Broncos couldn't really lean on their ground game after falling down big to the Miami Dolphins early in Week 3 on Sunday in a record-breaking 70-20 loss. Running back Javonte Williams did lead the backfield yet again with 11 carries, but he produced only 42 yards (3.8 yards per carry) on those 11 […]

Russell Wilson Goes Over 300 Yards Again

Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson went over 300 yards passing for the second straight week, but the Broncos were nevertheless embarrassed by a score of 70-20 on the road in Miami against the Dolphins. Wilson finished the blowout loss by going 23-for-38 for 306 yards, one touchdown and one interception while being sacked just once […]

Aaron Jones Out For Week 3

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones (hamstring), who was listed as questionable for Week 3 against the New Orleans Saints, has been ruled out for the second straight week. Jones will now miss back-to-back games after tweaking his hamstring in the season opener in Week 1. Fantasy managers hoping to get him back this […]

Robbie Chosen Elevated From Practice Squad

The Miami Dolphins elevated wide receiver Robbie Chosen from the practice squad to the 53-man active roster on Saturday in time for their Week 3 contest against the Denver Broncos. Linebacker Cameron Goode also joins Chosen on the active roster. Chosen will give the Dolphins an extra receiver for Sunday's clash in Miami after the […]

Kenley Jansen Returns From COVID List

The Boston Red Sox reinstated closer Kenley Jansen (illness) from the COVID injured list on Saturday and optioned pitcher Zack Weiss to Triple-A Worcester in a corresponding move. Jansen will return to Boston's bullpen for the first time since testing positive for COVID on Sept. 13. He'll have just over a week left to pick […]

Brandon Lowe Placed On Injured List Saturday

The Tampa Bay Rays placed second baseman Brandon Lowe (knee) on the 10-day injured list on Saturday and recalled outfielder Raimel Tapia from Triple-A Durham in a corresponding move. Lowe fractured his right patella fouling a ball off his knee on Thursday and is expected to miss the next four to six weeks. It's an […]

Manny Machado Carries The Offense Friday

San Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado carried the team's offense on Friday as they continued their winning streak in a 4-2 win over the visiting St. Louis Cardinals. Machado finished the contest 4-for-4 with two home runs, three RBI and two runs scored. The two-homer game helped Machado reach the 30-homer mark for the […]

Mike Moustakas Plans To Return Sunday

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Mike Moustakas (forearm) was initially hurt while trying to make a diving play at first base against the Cleveland Guardians earlier this month and then had to leave a Sept. 12 game against the Seattle Mariners due to a left-forearm extensor strain. Moustakas was eventually placed on the injured list […]

Aaron Loup Done For The Year

The Los Angeles Angels placed left-hander Aaron Loup (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list on Friday after he felt something in his shoulder after pitching against the Tampa Bay Rays earlier this week on Sept. 19. His season is now over after the 35-year-old southpaw reliever recorded a 6.10 ERA with 45 strikeouts in 48 […]

Chase Silseth Walks Four In Rehab Outing

Los Angeles Angels right-hander Chase Silseth (concussion) made his second minor-league rehab start on Friday for Triple-A Salt Lake and allowed no earned runs on two hits while walking four and striking out four in 3 1/3 innings of work. Silseth was hit on the head by an errant throw on Aug. 26 before landing […]
