Yasmani Grandal Dealing With Knee Soreness

Chicago White Sox catcher Yasmani Grandal (knee) was scratched from Wednesday night's lineup against the Texas Rangers due to right-knee soreness. He is considered day-to-day. Seby Zavala drew the start behind the dish and was in the nine-hole against Rangers left-hander Martin Perez. The White Sox have a day off on Thursday, so hopefully Grandal […]

Phillies-Braves Game Postponed

The game between the Philadelphia Phillies and Atlanta Braves on Wednesday night in Philadelphia has been postponed due to inclement weather. It will be made up at some point in September.

No Charges Filed Against Tyreek Hill For Boat Incident

Miami police completed their investigation into Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill, and no charges have been filed.

This doesn't put Hill in […]

Sam Darnold May Be Ahead Of Trey Lance

As long as San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (elbow) is healthy, he's going to be the team's starting quarterback in 2023 after his impressive rookie season. But ESPN's Adam Schefter said on the Pat McAfee Show on Wednesday that his guess going into training camp is that Sam Darnold has the edge on the […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers recalled right-hander Michael Grove from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday and placed right-hander Shelby Miller (neck) on the injured list in a corresponding move due to neck pain. Grove will make the start on Wednesday against the crosstown Los Angeles Angels. Not many fantasy managers will be brave enough to stream […]

Carlos Rodon To Make His Next Rehab Start Sunday

New York Yankees left-hander Carlos Rodon (back, forearm) will make his next minor-league rehab start on Sunday for Double-A Somerset.

Jordan Walker Dealing With Illness

St. Louis Cardinals rookie outfielder Jordan Walker (illness) is dealing with a bit of an illness, according to manager Oliver Marmol, which is why he wasn't in the team's starting lineup on Wednesday against the Washington Nationals. And with the Cardinals not playing again until Saturday in London against the division-rival Chicago Cubs, there's a […]

Tim Anderson Still Not Playing

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson (shoulder) remains out for the White Sox on Wednesday against the visiting Texas Rangers.

Minnesota Twins outfielder Michael Taylor (head) is back patrolling center field and is hitting ninth in the batting order on Wednesday against the visiting Boston Red Sox and right-hander Garrett Whitlock.

Yankees Resting Giancarlo Stanton Against Mariners

New York Yankees outfielder/designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton will not start on Wednesday against the visiting Seattle Mariners. It's a good time for Stanton to take a day off, as he's gone hitless with seven strikeouts in 11 at-bats in his last three games. The 33-year-old All-Star slugger has six home runs in only 26 games […]

Brent Rooker Sitting Against Guardians

Oakland Athletics outfielder Brent Rooker will take a seat on the bench on Wednesday as the team faces the Cleveland Guardians.

J.P. Crawford Out Of The Lineup Wednesday

Seattle Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford (shoulder) is not in the team's starting lineup on Wednesday against the New York Yankees. It's not a surprise after he was forced from Tuesday's game early due to a right-shoulder contusion. However, the good news is the 28-year-old's X-rays came back negative, so he's considered day-to-day and could return […]

Miguel Cabrera Getting A Breather Against Royals

Detroit Tigers designated hitter Miguel Cabrera will get the day off on Wednesday against the Kansas City Royals in the series finale. The future Hall of Famer started seven of the team's last eight games and will take a regular day of rest in what is his final MLB season. The 40-year-old isn't of any […]

Bryan Reynolds Out Again Wednesday

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds (back) is out of the starting lineup on Wednesday for the second straight day against the visiting Chicago Cubs. Reynolds is dealing with a tight lower back, although the Pirates aren't too worried right now that he'll need to go on the injured list. Fantasy managers should consider the 28-year-old […]

Andrew McCutchen Out With Sore Elbow

Pittsburgh Pirates manager Derek Shelton said that outfielder Andrew McCutchen (elbow) is dealing with a sore-right elbow and was given the day off on Wednesday against the Chicago Cubs to manage it. It doesn't sound like a very serious injury, so fantasy managers should consider the 36-year-old veteran to be day-to-day for now. He could […]

Jordan Walker Takes A Seat Wednesday

St. Louis Cardinals rookie outfielder Jordan Walker will start Wednesday's contest against the Washington Nationals on the bench. It will be a regular day of rest for Walker, who is in the midst of a 13-game hitting streak.

Dansby Swanson Gets Positive News; Taking Wednesday Off

X-rays have come back negative on Chicago Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson's right wrist after he dealt with swelling following Tuesday's win over the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Bo Bichette Scratched With Thumb Discomfort

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette (thumb) has been scratched from Wednesday's lineup against the Miami Marlins with left-thumb discomfort. We should have more information on Bichette's status later on Wednesday, so fantasy managers will want to check back then. For now, consider the 25-year-old to be day-to-day. With a well-timed off day coming on […]

Dalvin Cook Interested In Joining Forces With DeAndre Hopkins

Free-agent running back Dalvin Cook, who was released by the Minnesota Vikings last month, is interested in teaming up with fellow free-agent wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins on his next team.

Carlos Dunlap Wants To Play For A Contender

Free-agent defensive end Carlos Dunlap remains without a team, but he plans on continuing his career and wants to sign with a team that has a shot at winning a Super Bowl title. "I can help another team get one of their own or help the Chiefs again," Dunlap said. "The Chiefs haven't ruled that […]

Lions To Use Ifeatu Melifonwu At Safety

The Detroit Lions think that third-year defensive back Ifeatu Melifonwu's best fit with them is at the safety position. Melifonwu has missed quality practice time and game action in his first two years in the NFL due to ankle, hamstring and quadricep injuries, but head coach Dan Campbell expressed that he's seen growth on the […]

Trinity Benson Catching Passes

Detroit Lions wide receiver Trinity Benson (knee) was catching passes on a side field during a mandatory minicamp practice last week.

Jason Brownlee Has A Shot To Make The Team

New York Jets undrafted free-agent wide receiver Jason Brownlee flashed the most of all of the team's undrafted free agents in organized team activities and got some valuable repetitions with quarterback Aaron Rodgers, making some plays down the field. He had the biggest contract guarantee of the undrafted class at $216,000, and he could fight […]

Randall Cobb Will Have Limited Role

New York Jets wide receiver Randall Cobb seems to understand that his role will be limited this year. "I know this isn't the prime of my career," Cobb said. "But I still have a lot left in the tank. If you watch what I've done the last few years, I'm really efficient." He brings valuable […]
