Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Corey Dickerson left Wednesday's game with a sore left foot.

Philadelphia Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto went 2-for-3 with an RBI, a run scored, and a stolen base against the Reds Tuesday night.

Philadelphia Phillies utilityman Scott Kingery went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Cincinnati Tuesday night. It was the second game in a row with a homer for the sophomore and gives him six RBI in his last three games. Kingery has had his ups and downs this season but it's added up to a […]

Valentine Holmes Makes Five Catches In Push To Make Team

New York Jets running back and former Australian rugby star Valentine Holmes made five catches for 55 yards in the team's final preseason game vs the Eagles. Holmes had less success on the ground carrying the ball five times for zero yards. Holmes is unlikely to make the 53-man roster, and won't have fantasy value […]

Taylor Bertolet Struggles Against Eagles

New York Jets kicker Taylor Bertolet is in danger of being cut after missing three of five field goals Thursday vs the Eagles. To be fair to Bertolet, the misses were from 53, 56, and 49 yards away, but the team is certainly looking for someone who can make those kicks with some degree of […]
