Michael Conforto Leaves With Hamstring Tightness

San Francisco Giants outfielder Michael Conforto (hamstring) was removed from Wednesday's game early against the Toronto Blue Jays due to left-hamstring tightness. The injury occurred when Conforto crashed into the outfield wall in the first inning, so he didn't even have an official at-bat in the contest before leaving. It's very possible that this injury […]

The New England Patriots and wide receiver DeVante Parker agreed to a three-year contract extension worth up to $33 million on Wednesday, according to sources. The deal also includes $14 million in guarantees and per-game roster bonuses. Parker was considered a potential salary cap casualty this offseason, but instead the Pats will keep him around […]

Max Muncy Out Of Wednesday's Lineup

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Max Muncy will take a seat on Wednesday against the Colorado Rockies. Muncy returned from a hamstring injury that landed him on the injured list on Tuesday and went 0-for-3 in his first game back.

Kendall Hinton Has Knee Scope

Denver Broncos wide receiver Kendall Hinton (knee) said he had a minor knee scope this offseason and will be recovered in time for the start of training camp at the end of July. Barring some sort of setback in training camp, Hinton should be ready for the start of the 2023 regular season as he […]

KJ Hamler Should Be Cleared For Training Camp

Denver Broncos wide receiver KJ Hamler (pectoral) said he should be cleared for training camp at the end of July after having offseason pectoral surgery. Injuries have been the story of Hamler's career to this point, as he hasn't played more than 13 games in any of his three NFL seasons. He played in just […]

Isaiah Rodgers Expected To Receive Season-Long Suspension

A handful of NFL players, including Indianapolis Colts cornerback and kick returner Isaiah Rodgers, are expected to receive season-long suspensions this week for allegedly gambling, according to sources.

Jose Quintana To Make Another Rehab Start Friday

New York Mets left-hander Jose Quintana (rib) will make his next minor-league rehab start on Friday for Triple-A Syracuse.

The Pittsburgh Pirates placed third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes (back) on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to June 25) on Wednesday with lower-back stiffness and recalled infielder Jared Triolo from Triple-A Indianapolis in a corresponding move.

St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher Ryan Helsley (forearm) has been cleared to resume throwing.

It's going to be […]

Chris Sale To Undergo MRI Exam Thursday

Boston Red Sox left-hander Chris Sale (shoulder) will have an MRI exam on Thursday to update his status, according to manager Alex Cora.

Kevin Kiermaier Out Due To Back Spasms

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier (back) is out of Wednesday's starting lineup against the visiting San Francisco Giants due to back spasms. Kiermaier says he's day-to-day, so it doesn't appear to be too serious, although we'll keep an eye on his status heading into Thursday's series finale against the Gigantes. The 33-year-old veteran has […]

Jose Altuve Returns To Wednesday's Lineup

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve (heel) is back at second base and in his usual leadoff spot atop the Astros lineup on Wednesday against the St. Louis Cardinals and right-hander Miles Mikolas.

Jordan Walker Out On Wednesday

St. Louis Cardinals rookie outfielder Jordan Walker is taking a seat on Wednesday as the team faces the visiting Houston Astros. Walker isn't being benched because he's not producing.

Salvador Perez Returns Against Guardians

Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez (eye) is back behind the plate and is hitting second on Wednesday against the Cleveland Guardians and left-hander Logan Allen.

Jeff McNeil Sitting Against Left-hander

New York Mets second baseman Jeff McNeil is out of the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Milwaukee Brewers and left-hander Wade Miley. Not only has McNeil struggled against lefties this year -- .230 (17-for-74) with no home runs in 92 plate appearances -- but he has gone 5-for-39 (.128) with no homers, one RBI […]

Masataka Yoshida Still Out With Forearm Injury

Boston Red Sox outfielder Masataka Yoshida (forearm) remains out of Boston's lineup on Wednesday against the visiting Miami Marlins. Yoshida was hit by a pitch on his forearm over the weekend and will miss his second straight game, but fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day. Hopefully, he'll be back in there in the series finale […]

Jarred Kelenic Takes A Seat Against Lefty

Seattle Mariners outfielder Jarred Kelenic will start on the bench on Wednesday with the team facing a left-hander on the mound. Dylan Moore will get the start in left field and will bat eighth in the lineup against Washington Nationals left-hander Patrick Corbin.

CJ Abrams, Joey Meneses Out Of Wednesday's Lineup

Washington Nationals shortstop CJ Abrams (elbow) and first baseman Joey Meneses are both getting the day off on Wednesday as the team takes on the Seattle Mariners. Abrams is setting out with a bruised right elbow after getting hit by a pitch on Tuesday night, but fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. Ildemaro […]

Ha-Seong Kim Picks Up Three Hits In Leadoff Spot

San Diego Padres infielder Ha-Seong Kim set the table nicely as the leadoff hitter on Tuesday, but it wasn't enough in the 9-4 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates in the first game of the series. Kim went 3-for-5 with two RBI and a strikeout in the game. Kim has been pretty mediocre offensive all season […]

Jackson Rutledge Promoted To Triple-A

The Washington Nationals promoted right-handed pitching prospect Jackson Rutledge from Double-A Harrisburg to Triple-A Rochester on Wednesday. The former first-round pick in 2019 and current No. 11 prospect for the Nats, according to MLB Pipeline, went 6-1 with a 3.16 ERA and 1.098 WHIP while striking out 62 and walking 25 in 68 1/3 innings […]

The Boston Red Sox signed right-hander Dinelson Lamet to a minor-league deal on Wednesday.

The 30-year-old right-hander has always […]

Walker Buehler Making Progress In Tommy John Recovery

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Walker Buehler (elbow) posted a video of himself throwing a bullpen session last week as he recovers from Tommy John surgery last August.

Max Scherzer Could Be Willing To Accept A Trade

New York Mets starting pitcher Max Scherzer is no stranger to trade-deadline deals and is 38 years old and looking to win another title.

Carlos Rodon Likely To Make Final Rehab Start Saturday

New York Yankees left-hander Carlos Rodon (back) is set to make his third and likely final minor-league rehab start on Saturday with an affiliate to be determined.

New York Yankees left-hander Nestor Cortes (shoulder) is set to throw a bullpen session on Friday or Saturday, which will be his first since he was shut down with a rotator-cuff strain in the first week of June.

Michael Soroka Could Start Friday

MLB.com's Mark Bowman is guessing that Atlanta Braves right-hander Michael Soroka will be called up to start this Friday against the Miami Marlins. It would allow the Braves to give Charlie Morton and Spencer Strider an extra day of rest before starts against the Marlins and Tampa Bay Rays. Kolby Allard (oblique) is coming off […]

Dallas Cowboys sixth-round rookie cornerback Eric Scott Jr. worked a little bit with the first-team defense during offseason practices with Trevon Diggs in and out of workouts and Nahshon Wright dealing with a minor knee issue.

Donald Parham Jr. Flashes During Minicamp

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Donald Parham Jr. re-signed on a two-year, $1.4 million contract this offseason and flashed during 7-on-7 drills during the team's two-day minicamp.

Divine Deablo Has Become Defensive Signal-Caller

Las Vegas Raiders third-year linebacker Divine Deablo, a converted safety, has been given the "green dot" on his helmet as the defensive signal-caller. Deablo played in just eight games last year due to a broken right arm that he suffered in a game against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 9, but his 74 tackles at […]
