Adonai Mitchell Showcasing Versatility

Indianapolis Colts rookie wide receiver Adonai Mitchell is taking advantage of his increased playing time with the first team with Josh Downs (ankle) out.

Detroit Tigers outfielder Riley Greene (hamstring) is set to run the bases on Sunday as part of his recovery from a right-hamstring strain.

Fantasy Football Wide Receivers to Target in Redraft Leagues (Part 2) - Garrett Wilson, DeVonta Smith, Brandin Cooks, Ja'Lynn Polk, more

There are more receivers to buy than ever before. With NFL offenses passing the ball upwards of 60% of the time and running 11-personnel (three receiver sets) consistently over 75% of the time, the receiver pool has never been deeper. With so many names and options, there is bound to be players who fall through […]

Atlanta Braves rookie right-hander Spencer Schwellenbach will make his next start this Sunday on the road at Coors Field against the hosting Colorado Rockies.

Cincinnati Reds starting pitching prospect Rhett Lowder continued to turn the corner at Double-A as he logged another successful start on Thursday evening.

Matt Vierling Not Playing On Friday

Detroit Tigers infielder/outfielder Matt Vierling (back) is absent from the team's starting lineup on Friday versus the hosting San Francisco Giants. Back spasms forced Vierling from Thursday's series finale against the Seattle Mariners early, so it shouldn't come as a big surprise that he's being held out of the series opener in San Francisco. Fantasy […]

New York Mets outfield prospect Nick Morabito continued to show his elite speed on Thursday evening as he stole his 37th and 38th bags since joining High-A.

Mookie Betts To Play Right Field Upon His Return

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that infielder Mookie Betts (hand) will play right field when he returns from the injured list on Monday against the Milwaukee Brewers.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (knee) had successful left-knee surgery on his birthday on Wednesday, according to the team.

Brock Bowers Will Be Hard To Keep Off The Field

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler writes that Las Vegas Raiders first-round rookie tight end Brock Bowers is going to be difficult to keep off the field in 2024. Bowers has been as advertised as a playmaker in training camp while also proving stouter as a run-blocker than anticipated. His versatility has been evident early on. Michael Mayer […]

Byron Buxton Sitting During Nightcap

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton is absent from the starting lineup ahead of the second game of Friday's doubleheader against the Cleveland Guardians.

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud and wide receiver Stefon Diggs are among the team's healthy starters that will play in the second preseason contest on Friday on the road against the hosting Pittsburgh Steelers.

Jean Segura Signing With Orioles

The Baltimore Orioles have signed fre-agent infielder Jean Segura to a minor-league deal on Friday. This is a nice low-risk for the O's to see if the 34-year-old has anything left in the tank. Segura struggled with a .219/.277/.279 slash line with three home runs and 21 RBI with the Miami Marlins last season. Segura […]

Lourdes Gurriel Jr. Absent On Friday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. is out of the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies.

Fantasy […]

Ketel Marte Taking A Seat

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte is out of the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies.

CJ Abrams Scratched On Friday

Washington Nationals shortstop CJ Abrams has been scratched from the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Los Angeles Angels.
