In his last two seasons with […]

Emmanuel Moseley To Open Season On Active Roster

The Detroit Lions moved cornerback Emmanuel Moseley (knee) off the Physically Unable to Perform list on Tuesday, so he will open the 2023 regular season on the active roster and will be eligible to play in Week 1 against the Kansas City Chiefs, according to a source. It's good news for the 27-year-old defensive back, […]

Brandon Belt Unavailable Due To Back Spasms

Toronto Blue Jays manager John Schneider said that first baseman/designated hitter Brandon Belt (back) "wasn't available" for Tuesday's game against the Washington Nationals after dealing with lower-back spasms. Belt wasn't going to start against a left-handed pitcher on Tuesday anyway, but he wasn't available at all off the bench either due to the injury. There's […]

Ty France Injured Tuesday Night

Seattle Mariners first baseman Ty France (wrist) left Tuesday night's game against the Oakland Athletics early with a left-wrist contusion. The injury occurred when France was hit in the wrist on a pickoff attempt in the second inning, so his removal from the game was most likely precautionary. Before departing prematurely, France went hitless in […]

Jorge Soler Leaves Early With Hip Tightness

Miami Marlins outfielder Jorge Soler (hip) left Tuesday's contest against the Tampa Bay Rays early with right-hip tightness, according to the team. The injury occurred when Soler swung and missed at a pitch in the seventh inning.

Julio Rodriguez Dealing With Foot Soreness

Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez (foot) was scratched from Tuesday's lineup against the Oakland Athletics due to left-foot soreness. Until we know more about the severity of Rodriguez's foot injury, fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day and check back to see if he's in Wednesday's lineup. The 22-year-old has been as hot as they come […]

Jaguars Waive Snoop Conner Tuesday

The Jacksonville Jaguars waived last year's fifth-round pick, running back Snoop Conner, on Tuesday in order to trim their roster down to 53 players. Jacksonville will open up the 2023 regular season with Travis Etienne Jr. atop their RB depth chart, followed by impressive rookie Tank Bigsby, JaMycal Hasty and D'Ernest Johnson. In his first […]

Blake Grupe Wins Kicking Job In New Orleans

The New Orleans Saints traded kicker Wil Lutz to the Denver Broncos on roster cutdown day on Tuesday, confirming that undrafted rookie Blake Grupe has won the kicking job entering the 2023 regular season.

Ty Montgomery, Kevin Harris Released By Patriots

The New England Patriots released running backs Ty Montgomery and Kevin Harris on Tuesday to cut their roster down to 53 players by the deadline. The Patriots also cut J.J. Taylor, leaving just lead back Rhamondre Stevenson and former Dallas Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott on the current 53-man roster. New England surely won't go into […]

George Kirby Scratched With Illness

Seattle Mariners right-hander George Kirby (illness) has been scratched from his scheduled start on Tuesday against the Oakland Athletics due to an illness. Luke Weaver will start in his place. It's a tough break for fantasy managers, as Kirby should have been locked into all starting lineups in a pristine matchup against the worst team […]

No Timeline For Marcus Stroman's Return

Chicago Cubs right-hander Marcus Stroman's (hip, ribs) exam showed that his right-rib cartilage continues to heal and he's doing light activity, but there remains no timeline for his return to the starting rotation. Stroman is trying to return from a fracture in his right-rib cartilage, but the 32-year-old could still have a ways to go […]

Mike Yastrzemski Likely To Return Wednesday

It sounds as though San Francisco Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski (hamstring) will return from the injured list on Wednesday. Yastrzemski is going to return to the big-league roster without going on a minor-league rehab assignment, and he's been out since late July with a left-hamstring strain, so the Giants may choose to ease him back […]

Matt Manning To Start On Thursday

Detroit Tigers right-hander Matt Manning (back) will make his next start on Thursday against the New York Yankees. Manning has reportedly been dealing with back issues on and off all year and he had to be pulled from his most recent outing last Friday due to what he called a stinger in his lower back. […]

Minnesota Twins outfielder/designated hitter Byron Buxton (hamstring) and outfielder Alex Kirilloff (shoulder) will both start minor-league rehab assignments with Triple-A St. Paul on Wednesday.

Milwaukee Brewers rookie outfielder Sal Frelick is taking a seat on the bench on Tuesday with the team facing left-hander Justin Steele and the Chicago Cubs.

George Springer Back In Leadoff Spot

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer is starting in right field and serving as the leadoff hitter on Tuesday against the visiting Washington Nationals and left-hander MacKenzie Gore. Manager John Schneider said he's likely going to use Springer as the leadoff hitter for the rest of the year after he handled cleanup duties in the […]

Ravens Release Melvin Gordon III

The Baltimore Ravens released running back Melvin Gordon III on Tuesday, according to a source. Gordon didn't do enough to win a spot on the team's 53-man roster entering the 2023 regular season, but he could find himself back with Baltimore on their practice squad if he doesn't sign elsewhere. J.K. Dobbins leads the team's […]

Patriots Waive Bailey Zappe

The New England Patriots waived backup quarterback Bailey Zappe in a surprising move on Tuesday, according to a source. With the Patriots also waiving Malik Cunningham on roster-cutdown day, Mac Jones is now the team's only signal-caller on the roster with the 2023 regular season starting next week. However, the Patriots are hoping to get […]

Eagles Acquire Albert Okwuegbunam From Broncos

The Philadelphia Eagles acquired tight end Albert Okwuegbunam and a seventh-round draft pick in 2025 from the Denver Broncos on Tuesday in exchange for a sixth-rounder in 2025, according to sources. The Broncos were set to waiver Okwuegbunam on Tuesday before finding a trade partner in the Eagles. The 25-year-old former fourth-round pick in 2020 […]

Jake Rogers Available Off The Bench Tuesday

Detroit Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said that catcher Jake Rogers (hand) doesn't have a broken bone in his left hand and will be available to pinch hit or catch on Tuesday against the visiting New York Yankees.

Carlos Santana Out With Ankle Sprain

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Carlos Santana (ankle) is out of the lineup again on Tuesday against the Chicago Cubs. In his absence, Mark Canha is getting the start at first base and will bat third in the order against Cubs left-hander Justin Steele. Santana sprained his ankle in Sunday's series finale against the San Diego […]

Jarren Duran To Have Season-Ending Surgery

Boston Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran (toe) will have season-ending surgery for his turf toe on Wednesday. It's a really tough blow for the Red Sox down the stretch and for fantasy managers that have been riding Duran's strong season all year long. He was given a walking boot on Aug. 23 after landing on […]

Ranger Suarez Likely To Start On Sunday

Philadelphia Phillies left-hander Ranger Suarez (hamstring) felt good after throwing a live batting practice session on Monday and is scheduled to throw a bullpen on Friday. If that goes well, he's likely to return from the injured list to start on Sunday against the Milwaukee Brewers. The Phillies put the 28-year-old southpaw on the shelf […]

Astros Reinstate Michael Brantley From Injured List

The Houston Astros reinstated outfielder Michael Brantley (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list on Tuesday and optioned outfielder Corey Julks to Triple-A Sugar Land in a corresponding move.

Tommy Edman Taking A Day Off

St. Louis Cardinals infielder/outfielder Tommy Edman is getting a day of rest on Tuesday against the visiting San Diego Padres. With Edman on the bench, Nolan Gorman will start at second base and bat third for the Cardinals against Padres right-hander Seth Lugo. Richie Palacios will play center field and bat leadoff. The switch-hitting Edman […]

Bryson Stott Resting Against Left-Hander

Philadelphia Phillies middle infielder Bryson Stott is taking the day off on Tuesday with the team facing Los Angeles Angels left-hander Tyler Anderson. With Stott sitting out, Rodolfo Castro will get the nod at the keystone and will hit seventh against Anderson. Stott has actually been strong against lefties in 2023, hitting .302 (38-for-126) against […]
