Kyle Schwarber Goes Deep Twice In Loss To Nats

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Kyle Schwarber put on a power display against his former team, the Washington Nationals, in an 8-7 loss on Friday night.

Tanner Houck To Start Monday Or Tuesday

Boston Red Sox right-hander Tanner Houck (face) will be activated from the injured list to start on either Monday or Tuesday against the Houston Astros. It will mark the first time he's pitched for the team since June 16, the night he suffered a facial fracture when he was hit by a comebacker. In his […]

Anthony Rizzo Feeling Better

New York Yankees first baseman Anthony Rizzo (concussion) has been feeling better and also hit in the batting cage on Friday. There's still no specific timetable for Rizzo's return to the Yankees lineup after he was placed on the injured list on Aug. 3 with post-concussion syndrome, but it at least sounds like he's making […]

Tony Gonsolin Bothered By Elbow Injury

Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Tony Gonsolin (elbow) said that his elbow has been bothering him for several weeks and it affects his stuff more than his command. He plans to talk to the coaching and the training staff about taking a step back with a stint on the injured list. It helps explain why he […]

Maikel Garcia Out Of Saturday's Lineup

Kansas City Royals rookie infielder Maikel Garcia (upper body) is not in the lineup on Saturday against the Chicago Cubs.

Malik Willis To Play Entire Game Against Minnesota

With Tennessee Titans rookie quarterback Will Levis (lower body) out for the team's second preseason game on Saturday night against the Minnesota Vikings, Malik Willis will play the entire game. Willis and Levis rotated in the preseason opener last week against the Chicago Bears, with Willis going 16-for-25 for 189 yards and an interception. He […]

Will Levis Won't Play Saturday

Tennessee Titans rookie quarterback Will Levis (lower body) will not play in the team's second preseason game on Saturday against the Minnesota Vikings, according to a source.

Penny Hart Removed Due To Concussion

Atlanta Falcons head coach Arthur Smith said that wide receiver Penny Hart (head) was looked at and taken out of Friday night's preseason game against the Cincinnati Bengals because of a concussion.

Logan Thomas Working On Side Field Saturday

Washington Commanders tight end Logan Thomas (calf) is working on a side field with a trainer at training camp practice on Saturday and was seen doing some jogging.

The Philadelphia Eagles released cornerback Greedy Williams on Saturday. Williams was originally a second-round selection by the Cleveland Browns in 2019 out of Louisiana State.

Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard (ankle) suffered an ankle injury in the preseason loss to the New York Giants on Friday night, according to head coach Frank Reich. Before leaving the game, Hubbard had eight carries for 30 yards. Starter Miles Sanders (groin) sat out again with an injury, so Carolina's top-two backs are […]

Shohei Ohtani Scheduled To Pitch Wednesday Against Reds

Los Angeles Angels two-way star Shohei Ohtani is still scheduled to make his next start on Wednesday against the Cincinnati Reds. Ohtani, who has had some issues with cramping recently, skipped his last start on the mound due to fatigue. After getting some much-needed rest, the 29-year-old right-hander will rejoin the starting rotation to take […]

Jose Siri Out With Injury Friday

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Jose Siri (finger) is out of the starting lineup on Friday with the team taking on the Los Angeles Angels.

Anthony Rendon Moved To 60-Day Injured List

The Los Angeles Angels transferred infielder Anthony Rendon (shin) to the 60-day injured list on Friday amid a flurry of roster moves.

Mike Trout Faces Live Pitching, Could Return Any Day

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (wrist) faced live pitching on the team's off day on Thursday.

Lourdes Gurriel Jr. Returns To Friday's Action

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. (hip) has returned to the starting lineup on Friday and is serving as the designated hitter and batting fifth in the order against San Diego Padres right-hander Seth Lugo.

Joe Mixon Doesn't Make The Trip To Atlanta

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon didn't make the trip with the team to Atlanta for the second preseason game against the Falcons on Friday night after attending to personal matters in Cincinnati.

Trevor Siemian To Start Second Preseason Game

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Trevor Siemian is in line to start the team's second preseason game against the Atlanta Falcons on Friday night, with Jake Browning playing the second half. Beyond that, there's a possibility the offensive starters won't play at all on Friday, and they're unlikely to play in next week's preseason finale, either. Joe […]

Bryce Young To Play On Friday

Carolina Panthers rookie first-round quarterback Bryce Young and the starting offense will see more action in the second preseason game on Friday against the New York Giants after they looked stale in the preseason opener last week.

Daniel Jones To Start Friday Night

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones will start the team's second preseason game on Friday night against the Carolina Panthers, according to sources.

Jose Abreu Not Swinging, Won't Return Sunday

Houston Astros first baseman Jose Abreu (back) hasn't resumed swinging a bat, and manager Dusty Baker said it's unrealistic to expect Abreu to come off the 10-day injured list when he's first eligible to return this Sunday. Abreu has been sidelined since Aug. 10 with lower-back inflammation, and it wouldn't be a big surprise if […]

Kyle Tucker Scratched Due To Illness

Houston Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker (illness) was scratched from Friday's starting lineup against the Seattle Mariners after he came in feeling under the weather, according to manager Dusty Baker. Jake Meyers will draw into the starting lineup in center field against Mariners rookie right-hander Bryce Miller. Fantasy managers will need to remove Tucker from their […]

Ranger Suarez To Miss Next Start With Hamstring Injury

Philadelphia Phillies left-hander Ranger Suarez (hamstring) will miss his next scheduled start on Sunday against the Washington Nationals due to soreness in his hamstring, which came on in Toronto during the week.

Carlos Rodon To Start On Tuesday

New York Yankees left-hander Carlos Rodon (hamstring) is scheduled to return from the 15-day injured list to start on Tuesday against the Washington Nationals, according to manager Aaron Boone.
