Josh Jung Has Surgery Wednesday

Texas Rangers third baseman Josh Jung (thumb) underwent successful left-thumb surgery on Wednesday to install a plate and screws to stabilize his thumb fracture. The plan is for Jung to stay with the team and rehab with the expectation that he will be able to return before the end of the season. With the 25-year-old […]

Tyler O'Neill Expected To Return Thursday

St. Louis Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said the team wanted to give outfielder Tyler O'Neill (knee) one more day of inactivity on Wednesday while he deals with left-knee tightness. The belief is that O'Neill will be in the starting lineup on Thursday against the Tampa Bay Rays. The 28-year-old outfielder remains day-to-day after being scratched […]

J.D. Martinez Could Return Saturday

Los Angeles Dodgers designated hitter J.D. Martinez (hamstring) received an epidural injection on Wednesday, according to manager Dave Roberts.

The 35-year-old veteran doesn't appear to need […]

Amed Rosario Getting A Day Off

Los Angeles Dodgers middle infielder Amed Rosario is taking the day off on Wednesday in the series finale against the Arizona Diamondbacks. With Rosario resting, Mookie Betts is at the keystone and hitting leadoff, with Miguel Rojas at shortstop and hitting ninth against Diamondbacks right-hander Merrill Kelly. Rosario has certainly been more attractive in fantasy […]

Giants Move AJ Pollock To 10-Day Injured List

Updating a previous report, the San Francisco Giants placed outfielder AJ Pollock (oblique) on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday with a left-oblique strain and recalled outfielder Heliot Ramos from Triple-A Sacramento in a corresponding move. Pollock injured his left oblique on Tuesday against the Los Angeles Angels and will now probably miss more than […]

Skyy Moore Consistently Working With Starters

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Skyy Moore has been with the first-team offense for every repetition during training camp when the team has had two receivers on the field. Rookie Rashee Rice and Justyn Ross have occasionally mixed in with the starters, but they have overwhelmingly worked with the second-stringers. The KC Star's Jesse Newell […]

Garrett Wilson Held Out Of Team Drills

New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson (ankle) was allowed to do individual drills at training camp practice on Wednesday, but he was held out of team work. The Jets aren't rushing their top wideout back onto the field this summer after he sustained a low-ankle sprain early in camp. The 23-year-old still has plenty […]

Chase Claypool, Equanimeous St. Brown Suffer Injuries

Chicago Bears wide receivers Chase Claypool (hamstring) and Equanimeous St. Brown (leg) both were injured in training camp practice on Wednesday, leaving the team without two of their top four receivers ahead of Saturday's preseason opener against the Tennessee Titans. It remains to be seen if these two injuries are serious, so you'll want to […]

Jeff Wilson Jr. Injured At Wednesday's Practice

Miami Dolphins running back Jeff Wilson Jr. (hand) suffered a hand injury during training camp practice on Wednesday. Wilson probably isn't going to play in Friday's preseason opener against the Atlanta Falcons, even if his injury isn't considered serious.

Colts Sign Jason Huntley, Ricky Seals-Jones

The Indianapolis Colts signed free-agent running back Jason Huntley and tight end Ricky Seals-Jones to undisclosed deals on Wednesday and waived-injured tight end La'Michael Pettway and safety Michael Tutsie in corresponding moves. The Huntley signing probably won't keep the Colts from trying to add Kareem Hunt, who they visited with on Wednesday. Huntley hasn't played […]

Kareem Hunt Leaves Colts Without A Deal

Free-agent running back Kareem Hunt is leaving his visit with the Indianapolis Colts on Wednesday without a deal, according to a source. The Colts made an offer to Hunt, but the two sides were unable to reach an agreement. Hunt also had an encouraging visit with the New Orleans Saints this week and was expected […]

Kenneth Walker III Making Progress

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (groin) hasn't practiced since the first day of training camp, but head coach Pete Carroll has said it isn't a serious injury. Carroll said on Wednesday that Walker is running at full speed in a straight line. His next step will be cutting, which will happen in the […]

Marlon Mack Done For The Year With Torn Achilles

Arizona Cardinals running back Marlon Mack (Achilles) will miss the entire 2023 season after tearing his left Achilles in practice on Tuesday at training camp, according to head coach Jonathan Gannon. It's a tough break for Mack, who also tore his right Achilles in Week 1 of the 2020 season. There's a chance we won't […]

Anthony Volpe Getting A Rest Day

New York Yankees rookie shortstop Anthony Volpe is taking a day off on Wednesday against the Chicago White Sox. Isiah Kiner-Falefa will instead start at shortstop and bat eighth in the order against White Sox right-hander Mike Clevinger. It's a regular day of rest for Volpe, who could really use the rest. The 22-year-old has […]

Donovan Solano Diagnosed With MCL Sprain

Minnesota Twins infielder Donovan Solano's (knee) MRI exam showed that he has a mild MCL sprain in his right knee after getting injured in Tuesday's game. Nothing showed up on his ankle, but he remains sore on Wednesday and is not in the starting lineup against the Detroit Tigers. It's unknown how long Solano will […]

Jake McCarthy Heads To Bench Against Dodgers

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Jake McCarthy will retreat to the bench on Wednesday in the series finale against the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers. In his absence, Alek Thomas will start in center field and will hit seventh in the batting order against Dodgers right-hander Bobby Miller. McCarthy is valuable in mixed fantasy leagues this year for […]

Corbin Carroll Hitting Leadoff, Geraldo Perdomo Drops To Ninth

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll will bat leadoff on Wednesday against the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers and right-hander Bobby Miller. Meanwhile, shortstop Geraldo Perdomo drops to the nine-hole. Carroll has mostly been hitting near the top of Arizona's batting order, so the switch shouldn't affect him all that much. The 22-year-old has been excellent across […]

Luis Severino Not Starting Wednesday

New York Yankees right-hander Luis Severino will not serve as the traditional starter on Wednesday against the Chicago White Sox, with the Yankees choosing instead to use Ian Hamilton as an opener. The expectation is that the struggling Severino will be used as the bulk reliever after Hamilton goes an inning or two. Chicago has […]

Tim Anderson Back In Action Against Yankees

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson (forearm) is back at shortstop and batting leadoff for the Sox on Wednesday against the New York Yankees and right-handed opener Ian Hamilton. It's been an eventful couple of days for Anderson. First, the 30-year-old got knocked to the ground by a right hook from Cleveland Guardians third baseman […]

Ronald Acuna Jr. In Wednesday's Lineup

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (elbow) is right back in right field and in his customary leadoff spot on Wednesday against the Pittsburgh Pirates and rookie right-hander Quinn Priester after getting hit by a pitch on his left elbow in Tuesday's contest. X-rays came back negative for anything serious, though, which was a huge […]

Justin Turner Absent From BoSox's Lineup

As expected, Boston Red Sox infielder/designated hitter Justin Turner (heel) will miss another game on Wednesday against the visiting Kansas City Royals, and he'll likely be out on Thursday for the series finale in KC, too. Trevor Story is serving as the DH on Wednesday and is hitting third again, while Pablo Reyes will play […]

Mike Tauchman On Bench Against Southpaw

Chicago Cubs outfielder Mike Tauchman will get a day of rest on Wednesday with the team facing left-hander David Peterson and the New York Mets. Christopher Morel will serve as the designated hitter and will bat leadoff for the Cubbies. The 32-year-old Tauchman has been a key contributor for Chicago this year, but he's usually […]

Kyle Schwarber, Bryson Stott Resting Against Lefty

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder/designated hitter Kyle Schwarber and infielder Bryson Stott are both sitting out on Wednesday against left-hander MacKenzie Gore and the Washington Nationals. Trea Turner is the designated hitter and is batting leadoff, while Edmundo Sosa will start at shortstop and bat eighth for the Phils. Schwarber clubbed two home runs in the first […]

Tyler O'Neill Scratched From Lineup Again

Updating a previous report, St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill (knee) has been scratched from Wednesday's starting lineup against the Tampa Bay Rays for the second straight day due to left-knee tightness. Alec Burleson will now man left field and bat seventh in the order against Rays left-hander Jalen Beeks. O'Neill's disappointing 2023 campaign continues, […]

Max Kepler Returns Against Tigers

Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler (foot) is back in right field and is batting in the three-hole on Wednesday as he faces right-hander Alex Faedo and the Detroit Tigers. Kepler took the day off on Tuesday after he was hit by a pitch on his right foot during Monday's contest. The 30-year-old left-handed slugger is […]

Tyler O'Neill Returns For Wednesday's Game

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill (knee) is back in the starting lineup on Wednesday, starting in left field and batting sixth against Tampa Bay Rays left-hander Jalen Beeks. O'Neill will return after being scratched from Tuesday's lineup with left-knee tightness. The 28-year-old Canadian has had another disappointing year after clubbing a career-high 34 home […]

Joey Wiemer Scratched With Stomach Virus

Milwaukee Brewers rookie outfielder Joey Wiemer (illness) was scratched from Wednesday's lineup against the Colorado Rockies due to a stomach virus, according to the team. Blake Perkins will take over in center field and will hit in the nine-hole against Rockies right-hander Chris Flexen. First baseman Carlos Santana is out sick for the second straight […]

Mike McGlinchey Out 2-3 Weeks With Knee Sprain

Denver Broncos offensive tackle Mike McGlinchey (knee) suffered a knee sprain in Tuesday's training camp practice and will miss two to three weeks. The injury could keep McGlinchey out for the entire preseason after he signed a big five-year, $85 million deal this offseason. McGlinchey still has time to be ready for the regular season […]
