Cincinnati Reds manager David Bell said that starting pitcher Hunter Greene (hip) "felt great" after his last side bullpen session and he's on track to start this Sunday on the road against the St. Louis Cardinals.

Minnesota Twins infielder Willi Castro is starting at second base and is batting leadoff for the team on Thursday against Tampa Bay Rays right-hander Yonny Chirinos.

CeeDee Lamb Tweaks Leg In Practice

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (leg) didn't finish practice on Wednesday after tweaking something in his leg, but the injury isn't considered serious. The Cowboys were likely just being extra cautious with their star No. 1 receiver, so fantasy managers considering drafting him this year shouldn't have anything to worry about. The former first-round […]

Kelvin Joseph Injured Wednesday

Dallas Cowboys cornerback Kelvin Joseph (back) left the team's practice on Wednesday with a tight back. It doesn't sound like the injury is very serious, but the Cowboys will take precaution at this point in the offseason.

Chase McLaughlin Wins Kicking Competition

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers waived kicker Jake Verity on Wednesday after he signed a futures deal this spring.

Chicago Bears running back Khalil Herbert has the early lead for the RB1 role in Chicago in 2023 now that David Montgomery is in Detroit. Herbert sits atop the RB depth chart after a standout second season in the NFL in which he led all rushers with 5.7 yards per carry. The 25-year-old has been […]

Miguel Rojas Dealing With Neck Tightness

Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Miguel Rojas (neck) left Wednesday night's game early against the Cincinnati Reds with neck tightness.

The Dodgers should have […]

Tampa Bay Rays relief pitcher Pete Fairbanks (hip), who is currently on the injured list with left-hip inflammation, will throw to hitters on Friday at the Florida Complex League.

The Milwaukee Brewers optioned infielder Brice Turang to Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday and reinstated shortstop Willy Adames (concussion) from the seven-day concussion list in a corresponding move.

Chicago Cubs left-hander Justin Steele (forearm) will have a touch-and-feel throwing session on Wednesday, and manager David Ross said on Tuesday that Steele is on track to return from the injured list and start on June 17 against the Baltimore Orioles. It's the first day that Steele is eligible to be activated from the 15-day […]

Hunter Renfroe Goes On Paternity List

The Los Angeles Angels placed outfielder Hunter Renfroe on the paternity list on Wednesday and recalled outfielder Jo Adell from Triple-A Salt Lake in a corresponding move.

Miami Marlins outfielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. (toe) had a positive report from a foot specialist on Wednesday, according to the team. Chisholm will be eased into baseball activities and will travel with the team on their road trip. The 25-year-old was diagnosed with turf toe in his right foot in the middle of May and […]

Edward Cabrera Exits Start Early With Blister

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Edward Cabrera (hand) was forced from his start early on Wednesday against the Kansas City Royals due to a blister on his right hand. Cabrera has recently dealt with blister issues, so it seems like a recurrence of that. All things considered, it's good news for his fantasy managers, but it […]

Pete Alonso Day-To-Day After Being Hit By Pitch

New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso (wrist) was forced to leave Wednesday's game early against the Atlanta Braves after getting hit by a 97 mph fastball on the left wrist.

Titans To Give Tyjae Spears All He Can Handle

Tennessee Titans offensive coordinator Tim Kelly said that the team is going to give rookie running back Tyjae Spears as much as he can handle. Spears has regularly been one of the most active and most noticeable players during the team's offseason workouts as well. Not much is expected of the 21-year-old third-round selection in […]

Derrick Henry In Great Shape

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry unsurprisingly looks to be in great shape this offseason and has been smooth running and catching the ball during offseason workouts. Henry appears to be taking advantage of his offseason work heading into the 2023 season. It makes sense for the 29-year-old to be at all six of the […]

Justin Herbert Takes Part In 7-On-7 Drills

As expected, Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (shoulder) participated in 7-on-7 drills during organized team activities on Wednesday. It's the first time that Herbert has practiced in front of reporters since having offseason labrum surgery on his left, non-throwing shoulder. Herbert should be fully ready to go in training camp at the end of […]

Tyreek Hill Dealing With Minor Injury

The Miami Dolphins are taking it slow with wide receiver Tyreek Hill (undisclosed) this spring -- he's done very little beyond individual drills during offseason practices -- because he's dealing with a minor undisclosed injury. If it were the regular season, Hill would be on the field. The Dolphins are just being super cautious with […]

Gunnar Henderson Back In The Fold Wednesday

Baltimore Orioles third baseman Gunnar Henderson (back) is back in the team's starting lineup on Wednesday against the Milwaukee Brewers and right-hander Corbin Burnes. Henderson is starting at third base and is batting sixth in the lineup.

Matt Chapman Returns From Toe Injury

Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Matt Chapman (toe) is starting at third base and is batting fifth in the lineup on Wednesday against right-hander Ronel Blanco and the Houston Astros. Chapman had in infected and ingrown toenail removed on Monday and sat out of Tuesday's contest, but he'll be back on Wednesday for fantasy managers. […]

Jeremy Pena Resting Against Toronto

Houston Astros shortstop Jeremy Pena is getting a day of rest on Wednesday against the Toronto Blue Jays. Pena could use a day off after going 0-for-4 with four strikeouts in Tuesday's 5-1 loss to Toronto. It was Pena's second hitless game of the month, but he's otherwise gone 6-for-25 (.240) with a double, two […]
