The Pittsburgh Steelers informed veteran cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon that he'll be released, according to a source. Witherspoon started seven games for the Steelers over the last two seasons. He appeared in only four games last year and missed the final nine games due to a hamstring injury. The 28-year-old defensive back finished the 2022 campaign […]

Kayshon Boutte Not A Lock To Make Roster

As a sixth-round pick (No. 187 overall) in this year's NFL draft, New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte should enter the league with low expectations, but he won't be a lock to make the team's 53-man roster out of training camp this summer. But Boutte is also a receiver that was the No. 2 […]

Hunter Renfroe Out, Mickey Moniak Batting Leadoff

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Hunter Renfroe is not in the starting lineup on Tuesday against right-hander Dean Kremer and the Baltimore Orioles. It looks to be just a normal day of rest for Renfroe, who is hitting .258 (41-for-159) on the season with nine doubles, 10 home runs, 28 RBI and 26 runs scored in […]

Blue Jays Option Jay Jackson To Minors

The Toronto Blue Jays optioned right-hander Jay Jackson to Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday and recalled right-hander Thomas Hatch from Buffalo in a corresponding move.

Jon Berti Absent From Tuesday's Lineup

Miami Marlins infielder Jon Berti is not in the team's starting lineup on Tuesday against the Washington Nationals. Berti is more of a utility infielder for the Fish now that Joey Wendle is back from the injured list. The 33-year-old is hitting a decent .271 (32-for-118) with five doubles, two home runs, eight RBI, six […]

Matt Vierling Resting Against Pirates

Detroit Tigers outfielder Matt Vierling is taking a day off on Tuesday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Vierling has earned a spot on the Tigers bench by going 4-for-42 (.095) with a homer, two RBI and seven strikeouts in 11 games played so far in the month of May. The slump has dropped his season line […]

Corey Dickerson Sitting Against Southpaw

Washington Nationals outfielder Corey Dickerson is not in the starting lineup on Tuesday against left-hander Jesus Luzardo and the Miami Marlins. Dickerson doesn't see much playing time against left-handers at this point in his career, and he's not very useful for fantasy managers in mixed leagues. The 33-year-old left-handed hitter has played in only two […]

John Schreiber Goes On Injured List, Justin Garza Called Up

The Boston Red Sox placed right-hander John Schreiber (lat) on the 15-day injured list on Tuesday and also optioned pitcher Brennan Bernardino to Triple-A Worcester.

Jazz Chisholm Jr. Remains Out Tuesday

Miami Marlins outfielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. (toe) remains out of the starting lineup on Tuesday against the Washington Nationals. Chisholm is currently considered day-to-day after suffering turf toe in a collision with the outfield wall in a game on Saturday against the Cincinnati Reds.

Joe Burrow, Bengals Continue To Talk Contract Extension

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow confirmed on Tuesday that he and the team continue to work on a long-term contract extension after the Bengals unsurprisingly picked up his fifth-year option. "I'm involved. That's in the works," Burrow said. "That's not really something that I like to play out in the media. That's something — just […]

Jacob Amaya Tearing It Up At Triple-A

Miami Marlins shortstop prospect Jacob Amaya, who was acquired from the Los Angeles Dodgers in the trade that sent Miguel Rojas to LA, has been making a case for his first big-league call-up. In 36 games so far for Triple-A Jacksonville, Amaya is slashing .265/.333/.397 with seven doubles, a triple, three home runs, 14 RBI […]

Taj Bradley, Cooper Criswell Are Options To Start Wednesday

The Tampa Bay Rays are expected to choose between top pitching prospect Taj Bradley and right-hander Cooper Criswell for Wednesday's start against the New York Mets to replace Drew Rasmussen (forearm) in the starting rotation.

Orioles Call Up Cole Irvin

The Baltimore Orioles recalled left-hander Cole Irvin from Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday and optioned right-hander Logan Gillaspie to Norfolk after Monday's game in a corresponding move.

Michael Brantley Remains Out Indefinitely

Houston Astros outfielder Michael Brantley (shoulder) remains out indefinitely after experiencing a setback in his return to action.

However, he continued to feel pain in his surgically repaired right shoulder and […]

Jose Altuve Moving Rehab To Double-A

Jalen Beeks To Open, Yonny Chirinos Serving As Bulk Reliever

Tampa Bay Rays left-hander Jalen Beeks will once again serve as the team's opener on Tuesday against the New York Mets, with right-hander Yonny Chirinos expected to work the bulk innings in relief. Beeks has gone at least two innings in five of his outings this year, including in his last two appearances, but the […]

Yandy Diaz Considered Day-To-Day

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Yandy Diaz (groin) left the game early on Sunday in the first inning with what the team called left-groin tightness. He underwent an MRI exam on Monday, and the results were encouraging enough that the Rays consider him day-to-day. It's great news for Tampa and Diaz's fantasy managers, but there's still […]

Cody Bellinger Dealing With Sore Left Knee

Chicago Cubs outfielder Cody Bellinger (knee) injured his left knee in Monday's loss to the Houston Astros while making an excellent catch against the outfield wall to rob Kyle Tucker of extra bases.

Raiders Sign Kristian Wilkerson

The Las Vegas Raiders signed free-agent wide receiver Kristian Wilkerson to an undisclosed deal on Monday and released wide receiver Tyler Johnson in a corresponding move.

Drew White Placed On PUP List

The Washington Commanders placed linebacker Drew White (knee) on the Physically Unable to Perform list on Monday after waiving him with a failed-physical designation.

Justin Herbert Resumes Throwing After Surgery

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (shoulder) was throwing a football during the team's voluntary offseason workouts on Monday after coming off left-shoulder surgery this offseason. Herbert had surgery to fix a torn labrum in his left, non-throwing shoulder but hadn't resumed throwing a ball until Monday. The Chargers will take things slowly with the […]

Austin Ekeler Not At Voluntary Workouts

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler wasn't present for the start of the team's voluntary offseason workouts on Monday. This shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone really, as there hasn't been any progress made on contract-extension talks between Ekeler and the Chargers since the 27-year-old requested and received permission to seek a trade […]

Ndamukong Suh Unlikely To Sign Before Training Camp

Free-agent defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh isn't hanging up his cleats this offseason, but he's also unlikely to sign with a new team before training camp begins this summer.

The next start he makes will only be […]
