Luis Robert Jr. Day-To-Day With Sprained Pinkie

Updating a previous report, Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. (finger) was removed from Wednesday's game against the New York Yankees with a sprained pinkie finger on his right hand. X-rays came back negative and he's listed as day-to-day. Before leaving prematurely, Robert went 1-for-1 with a walk, a run scored and two stolen […]

Walker Buehler Throws Sim Game Wednesday

Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Walker Buehler (elbow) faced live hitters in a simulated game for the first time on Wednesday since having his second Tommy John surgery last year. It's a big step for Buehler, who is hoping to return for the Dodgers before the end of the 2023 season. After facing live hitters, he'll […]

J.P. France Set To Start Saturday Against Angels

Houston Astros rookie left-hander J.P. France is the team's probable starting pitcher for this Saturday against the visiting Los Angeles Angels. France was temporarily demoted to the bullpen recently after the team acquired Justin Verlander from the New York Mets at the trade deadline, and his last start came on July 31. Since then, he's […]

Rays Optimistic That Tyler Glasnow Will Start Saturday

Tampa Bay Rays manager Kevin Cash said that right-hander Tyler Glasnow (back) played catch on Wednesday and that the team is "optimistic" that he will make his next start on Saturday against the Cleveland Guardians. However, the Rays probably won't know for sure until Saturday morning. The 29-year-old was scratched from his last scheduled start […]

Baltimore Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said that outfielder Cedric Mullins (groin) will play another minor-league game with Double-A Bowie on Wednesday, and he could rejoin the team for the start of their road trip on Friday against the Seattle Mariners.

The Oakland Athletics are calling up first baseman/outfielder Lawrence Butler from the minors on Wednesday, according to a source, and he will join the team in Washington D.C.

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. Martinez's MRI exam didn't show anything different than the team was expecting, and Roberts said he hopes Martinez can return to the lineup by Saturday against the Colorado Rockies. 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. The Dolphins are rolling with a committee backfield in 2023 between Raheem Mostert, Wilson and rookie […]

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 […]
