Josh Downs Expected To Miss 4-6 Weeks

Updating an earlier report, Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs (ankle) suffered a high-ankle sprain during training camp practice on Wednesday, according to sources after an MRI exam. Downs' recovery time was estimated at four to six weeks, which puts him right up against the start of the 2024 regular season in early September. It's […]

Boston Red Sox outfielder Tyler O'Neill (illness) remains out of action for Wednesday's contest against the hosting Kansas City Royals.

Joe Ryan Leaves Early Wednesday With Triceps Tightness

Minnesota Twins right-hander Joe Ryan (triceps) left his outing early in the bottom of the third inning on Wednesday versus the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field due to right-triceps tightness.

Mike Williams Activated From PUP List

New York Jets wide receiver Mike Williams (knee) was activated from the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list on Wednesday, according to NFL Insider Ian Rapoport. This is promising news as the former Los Angeles Charger recovers from a torn ACL suffered in Week 3 of last season. The 29-year-old should have plenty of time […]

Spencer Steer Resting Versus Marlins

Cincinnati Reds corner infielder/outfielder Spencer Steer is sitting out on Wednesday against the hosting Miami Marlins. With Steer getting a breather on Wednesday, Santiago Espinal will draw into the lineup in left field and will bat ninth for the Reds against Marlins right-hander Valente Bellozo. The 26-year-old Steer could probably use a little bit of […]

Ha-Seong Kim Sitting Again On Wednesday

San Diego Padres shortstop Ha-Seong Kim (triceps) remains out of the team's starting lineup for the second game of the series in Pittsburgh on Wednesday against the hosting Pirates. Tyler Wade will get another start at shortstop for the Friars and will bat ninth against Pirates left-handed veteran Marco Gonzales. Kim came down with soreness […]

Heston Kjerstad Goes On Injured List With Concussion

After initially being optioned to Triple-A Norfolk late last week, the Baltimore Orioles placed rookie outfielder Heston Kjerstad (concussion) on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to Aug. 1) on Wednesday due to a concussion. It's the second time this year that Kjerstad has been on the IL due to a concussion, which is pretty concerning. […]

Grayson Rodriguez Lands On 15-Day Injured List

The Baltimore Orioles placed right-hander Grayson Rodriguez (lat) on the 15-day injured list (retroactive to Aug. 4) on Wednesday with right-late/teres discomfort and recalled left-hander Keegan Akin from Triple-A Norfolk in a corresponding move. Rodriguez was scratched from his scheduled start on Tuesday due to the injury and will now miss at least the next […]

When Is Mike Williams Coming Back? Fantasy Football Injury Return Update

Longtime Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams was released by the organization this offseason and landed with quarterback Aaron Rodgers with the New York Jets. Given Williams' big-play and contested-catch ability, the pairing with the future Hall of Fame quarterback brings plenty of fantasy football intrigue. However, Williams suffered a torn ACL in Week […]

Jordan Wicks To Start Rehab Assignment On Saturday

Chicago Cubs left-hander Jordan Wicks (oblique) will make a minor-league rehab start with Triple-A Iowa on Saturday. It will be Wicks' first time pitching in a game since suffering a Grade 2 right-oblique strain back in the middle of June, so he'll almost certainly require multiple rehab starts before the Cubs consider activating him from […]

Jacob deGrom To Throw Live Batting Practice On Thursday

Texas Rangers right-hander Jacob deGrom (elbow) is scheduled to throw a 20-pitch live batting practice session on Thursday at Globe Life Field. It will be deGrom's first time facing hitters since having Tommy John surgery in June of last year, and he will continue to slowly build up his arm for a potential late-season return […]

Top Candidates to Dethrone Justin Jefferson as the WR1 in Dynasty Fantasy Football

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson is clearly the WR1 when it comes to dynasty fantasy football. The LSU product recently signed a four-year, $140 million contract extension with the Vikings and was rewarded for a historic start to his NFL career. Jefferson was limited to only 10 games last year due to a hamstring […]

A's Place Seth Brown On Paternity List

The Oakland Athletics placed first baseman/outfielder Seth Brown on the paternity list on Wednesday and recalled third baseman Armando Alvarez from Triple-A Las Vegas in a corresponding move. Brown will now be away from the team for up to three days. The 32-year-old left-handed-hitting veteran is really only an option for outfield and corner-infield depth […]

J.D. Davis Signs With Orioles

Free-agent third baseman J.D. Davis signed a minor-league deal with the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday. This will be Davis' third team of the season after starting the 2024 campaign with the Oakland Athletics and also spending time with the New York Yankees. In Baltimore, he's expected to start at Triple-A Norfolk while giving the O's […]

Brusdar Graterol Has Grade 3 Hamstring Strain

Los Angeles Dodgers right-handed reliever Brusdar Graterol (hamstring) did not have the kind of season debut he was hoping for in his outing on Tuesday night against the visiting Philadelphia Phillies. Graterol had yet to pitch in 2024 because of a shoulder issue that cropped up toward the end of spring training. But after his […]

Tanner Bibee Could Return On Sunday

Cleveland Guardians right-hander Tanner Bibee (shoulder) could make his return to the rotation and start on Sunday against the division-rival Minnesota Twins if his scheduled bullpen session on Thursday goes well. Bibee isn't on the injured list, but the Guardians chose to skip his last turn through the rotation after he came away with right-shoulder […]

Cody Bellinger Has Sore Hamstring

Updating a previous report, Chicago Cubs outfielder Cody Bellinger (hamstring, knee) is dealing with a sore hamstring after stepping on first base awkwardly on Tuesday night and hyperextending his knee. Manager Craig Counsell said the Cubs will see how Bellinger feels as the day progresses, but they wanted to give him a day off on […]

Alex Verdugo Back In Leadoff Spot For Game 1 Of Doubleheader

New York Yankees outfielder Alex Verdugo (undisclosed) is back in left field and is batting leadoff for Game 1 of a doubleheader on Wednesday against the visiting Los Angeles Angels and right-hander Davis Daniel. The Yankees held Verdugo out of the lineup on Sunday against the Toronto Blue Jays because he was banged up, but […]

Five Aging Running Backs To Target in 2024 Fantasy Football Drafts

The running back position is notoriously fickle when it comes to fantasy football. There is a lot of turnover in this position from year to year. Age is a major factor in this regard. While it’s true that we should generally avoid older running backs, there are exceptions to the rule. We have to be […]

Lawrence Cager Dealing With Hamstring Issue

The New York Giants have tons of opportunity at the tight end position this year after Darren Waller's retirement. They are looking to fill the void left by Waller with some combination of Daniel Bellinger, Lawrence Cager (hamstring) and rookie Theo Johnson. Bellinger is likely to be the starter, but Cager or Johnson are likely […]

Jonathon Long Surging Through Double-A

Following the All-Star Break, Chicago Cubs first base prospect Jonathon Long was promoted to Double-A Tennessee. Since then, he's been one of the best hitters in Minor League Baseball, slashing .500/.574/.750 with six doubles, two home runs, 13 RBI, and 10:7 BB/SO through 14 games. To start the month of August, he's gone 13-for-20 with […]

When Is Jonathon Brooks Coming Back? Fantasy Football Injury Return Update

The Carolina Panthers have high hopes for running back Jonathon Brooks after selecting him in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft. He was the first running back off the board and the only backfield player chosen in that round. The Panthers wish Brooks could replicate his final season with the Texas Longhorns, in […]

Bears Experimenting With Velus Jones Jr. As A Running Back

Chicago Bears wide receiver Velus Jones Jr. entered training camp on the roster bubble, although many expect the third-year wideout to be the team's starting kick returner in 2024. In an effort to be more versatile to the team, Jones agreed to spend this week of practice as a running back. He's spent most of […]

Rafael Flores Having Breakout Second Half

New York Yankees catcher/first base prospect Rafael Flores was promoted to Double-A Somerset at the end of June. Though he struggled initially, slashing .197/.303/.379 with six extra-base hits, six RBI, and 9:24 BB/SO through his first 17 games, he has played exceptionally well since the All-Star Break. Over his last 16 games, Flores is slashing […]

Chase Claypool Misses Another Practice On Wednesday

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Chase Claypool (toe) did not practice at training camp on Wednesday. It's been over a week now since Claypool was last on the field at camp due to his toe injury. For a declining receiver that was already battling for a roster spot this summer, all of his missed practice time […]

Cardinals Expect Greg Dortch To Have "A Big Year"

Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said that wide receiver Greg Dortch is going to have "a big year." "He speaks softly and carries a big stick," Gannon said. With Rondale Moore no longer in town, Dortch has been working with the first-team offense in training camp this summer after being a backup receiver each […]
