Padres Land Garrett Cooper, Sean Reynolds From Fish

The San Diego Padres acquired first baseman/outfielder Garrett Cooper and right-hander Sean Reynolds from the Miami Marlins on Tuesday in exchange for left-hander Ryan Weathers.

The 32-year-old could […]

Jean Segura Traded To Guardians And Released

The Cleveland Guardians acquired infielder Jean Segura and infield prospect Kahlil Watson from the Miami Marlins on Tuesday in exchange for first baseman Josh Bell, according to sources.

Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes (back) has returned to Pittsburgh from his minor-league rehab assignment and is hoping to be activated from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday night or Wednesday.

Trevor Story Might Not Return This Weekend

Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora has pumped the brakes on shortstop Trevor Story's (elbow) return from the injured list this weekend.

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 […]

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 […]

The Denver Broncos signed free-agent veteran cornerback Fabian Moreau to an undisclosed one-year deal on Tuesday, according to a source.

Jalen Hurd Hangs Up His Cleats

The New England Patriots placed wide receiver Jalen Hurd on the Reserve/Retired list on Tuesday.

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.

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.

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. Fantasy managers will want to get the 30-year-old superstar back in their starting lineups as well after he missed the last few games with right-ankle soreness. Betts is setting […]

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.

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.

Marlins Acquire Jake Burger From White Sox

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.
