Brayden Taylor Showing Off Power And Speed At High-A

Tampa Bay Rays third baseman prospect Brayden Taylor had a solid first half for High-A Bowling Green, posting a .279-13-43-62-24 line over 76 games. The 22-year-old impressed so much that he rose 22 spots on MLB.com's latest prospect re-rank, going from 82 to 60. A promotion to Double-A in the second half appears to be […]

Arrow Pointing Way Up For Kevin McGonigle

Detroit Tigers shortstop prospect Kevin McGonigle finished the first half with a 23-game streak of getting on base via hit or walk for Single-A Lakeland and will look to ride that momentum to a promotion to High-A in the second half. The 19-year-old put together a strong .329-3-34-39-19 first half and an impressive BB:K of […]

Dalton Rushing Finishes Strong Before The Break

Los Angeles Dodgers catching/first base prospect Dalton Rushing hit safely in eight of his last nine games for Double-A Tulsa before the break, going 12-for-35 (.343) over that stretch. For the season he's amassed a .266-10-46-36-0 line. It's unclear, however, if the Dodgers' top prospect is closer to a promotion or a trade, as his […]

Tink Hence Trying To Get Healthy For Second Half

St. Louis Cardinals pitching prospect Tink Hence was having an effective first half for Double-A Springfield before injuries derailed him. The injuries don't sound serious, although the 21-year-old had an MRI done on his arm anyway which came back clean. The righty was supposed to take part in the Futures Game but decided to bypass […]

Spencer Brown To Be Full-Go For Camp After Offseason Surgery

Buffalo Bills right tackle Spencer Brown (shoulder) said at a youth football camp that he's co-hosting with tight end Dalton Kincaid that he'll be a full-go when training camp starts next week after undergoing offseason shoulder surgery.

Abner Uribe Undergoes Season-Ending Knee Surgery

Milwaukee Brewers right-handed reliever Abner Uribe (knee) announced on his Instagram account that he underwent season-ending knee surgery on Wednesday morning. With regular closer Devin Williams (back) missing the entire first half of the 2024 season, Uribe opened the year with an opportunity to earn saves for the Brew Crew. The 24-year-old Dominican did post […]

Rich Hill Hopes To Join A Team In August

Free-agent veteran left-hander Rich Hill said he is ramping up throwing bullpen sessions in preparation to sign with a team in August as a versatile pitcher. It appears that Hill is healthy, but it remains to be seen how much interest he'll generate on the open market after going a combined 8-14 with a bloated […]

Kodai Senga To Make Another Rehab Start This Weekend

New York Mets right-hander Kodai Senga (shoulder, triceps) is expected to make another minor-league rehab start with Triple-A Syracuse this weekend. Barring a setback, Senga's rehab start this weekend is expected to be his last before he's reinstated from the 60-day injured list to make his 2024 debut in the major leagues. The 31-year-old threw […]

Josh Richardson Hopes To Be Ready For Training Camp

Miami Heat guard Josh Richardson (shoulder) resumed shooting on July 2 and is optimistic he'll be ready for training camp. The veteran averaged 9.9 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.4 assists last season. Unfortunately, he suffered a shoulder injury in February and underwent surgery in March, limiting him to only 43 appearances. If Richardson can stay […]

Noah Schultz Lit Up In All-Star Futures Game

Chicago White Sox starting pitching prospect Noah Schultz only managed to get one batter out in this year's All-Star Futures Game. He allowed three runs on three hits, a walk, and a hit-by-pitch. His lone out came via strikeout. Despite his woes in Arlington, Schultz is one of the most promising pitching prospects in MLB. […]

Cam Collier Earns Futures Game MVP

Cincinnati Reds third base prospect Cam Collier was the star of this year's All-Star Futures Game, going 1-for-2 with a solo home run to put the National League on the board. The Reds' No. 3 prospect (per MLB.com) was subsequently named the Futures Game's MVP. Despite his success in Arlington, Collier is having a subpar […]

Julius Randle's Recovery "Going Incredibly Well"

New York Knicks forward Julius Randle (shoulder) continues to rehab following surgery. Fortunately, he's moving in the right direction, with SNY's Ian Begley reporting things are "going incredibly well." The 29-year-old averaged 24.0 points, 9.2 rebounds, and 5.0 assists last season and is eligible to sign a four-year contract worth as much as $181.5 million […]

Drake Baldwin Homers In Futures Game

Atlanta Braves catcher prospect Drake Baldwin went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in this year's All-Star Futures Game. Hit around 107 mph, it was one of the hardest-hit balls of the night. Baldwin's performance in Arlington is a solid reflection of how he's been playing since his promotion to Triple-A. In 24 games with […]

Kyle Teel Collects Two Doubles In Futures Game

Boston Red Sox catching prospect Kyle Teel shined in this year's All-Star Futures Game. The only player on either team to collect multiple hits, Teel was 2-for-2 with a pair of doubles. The young catcher's performance was hardly surprising, as he's been fantastic in Double-A this year. Through 65 games, he's slashing .298/.384/.455 with 16 […]

Rhett Lowder Throws Solid Inning In Futures Game

Cincinnati Reds starting pitching prospect Rhett Lowder pitched in the fifth inning of this year's All-Star Futures Game. On 14 pitches, he allowed a hit and struck out Tampa Bay Rays top prospect Xavier Isaac on a slider. The young righty threw 10 strikes and collected three whiffs. After a rough stretch in Double-A, a […]

Noble Meyer Fans Two In Futures Game

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Noble Meyer pitched in the second inning of this year's All-Star Futures Game, striking out two batters on 18 pitches. In total, he faced five hitters. He might have retired the side in order, if not for Chicago White Sox infield prospect Colson Montgomery reaching on an error. Regardless, Meyer's stuff […]

One-Man Backfields To Avoid In 2024 Fantasy Football Drafts

Bell-cow running backs in the NFL have become about as rare as having a positive interaction on social media. As a result, it's getting extremely difficult to find a workhorse back in fantasy football drafts. That makes our job as fantasy players trickier. While we typically want to target backfields with bell-cow rushers, there are […]

Chargers Put Junior Colson On Non-Football Illness List

The Los Angeles Chargers placed rookie linebacker Junior Colson (illness) on the Non-Football Illness list on Wednesday. The specifics of Colson's illness/injury remain unclear, but it means that he won't be able to take part in on-field workouts for the start of training camp next week. The 21-year-old third-round pick back in April out of […]

Dontayvion Wicks Getting Praised

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks recently received high praise from his teammate. During a sit-down with Bleacher Report, Packers quarterback Jordan Love said he believes Wicks is going to have a monster year. The second-year wideout totaled 39 receptions, 581 yards, and four touchdowns during his rookie season. Wicks has shown flashes of […]

Texans Place Andrew Beck On PUP List

The Houston Texans placed fullback Andrew Beck (calf), cornerback D'Angelo Ross (undisclosed) and linebacker Del'Shawn Phillips (shoulder) on the Physically Unable to Perform list on Wednesday, meaning they will not be ready to take part in the start of training camp next week. Beck strained his calf earlier this offseason and now won't be able […]

Teagan Quitoriano Has Made Full Recovery, Ready For Training Camp

Houston Texans tight end Teagan Quitoriano (groin, oblique) has made a full recovery from his groin and oblique surgeries and is expected to be active for training camp next week, according to a league source. Quitoriano wasn't placed on the Physically Unable to Perform list, so that just confirms it. He could be eased into […]

Nico Collins Considered Among Top Receivers

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins was recently in the running for the league's top wide receivers. This is a well deserved mention after Collins put together a breakout campaign last season. He hauled in 80 receptions for nearly 1,300 receiving yards and eight touchdowns in 15 games. This performance earned him a three-year, $72 […]

Tyler Matakevich Signs With Steelers

The Pittsburgh Steelers have signed linebacker Tyler Matakevich to a one-year deal. The veteran linebacker is a former seventh-round pick of the Steelers. He spent his first four seasons of his career with Pittsburgh. After that, Matakevich headed to the Buffalo Bills for the next four seasons. He recorded 23 tackles during his first season […]

Kiran Amegadjie Lands On Non-Football Injury List

Chicago Bears offensive tackle Kiran Amegadjie (quadriceps) has been placed on the Non-Football Injury list on Wednesday. The third-round pick from this year's draft, Amegadjie is still recovering from a quad injury he suffered last season at Yale. He is still rehabbing from surgery he underwent in October. It sounds like it could be a […]

Tucker Kraft Placed On PUP List

Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft (pectoral) has been placed on the Physically Unable to Perform list to begin training camp. Both Kraft and center Zach Tom were placed on the PUP list after suffering torn pectoral muscles. Luckily, head coach Matt LaFleur said he doesn't expect either player to miss much of camp. […]
