The Washington Nationals are preparing to be sellers during this summer's trade deadline, with hopes of moving left-handed starter Patrick Corbin, who is making $35.4 million in the final year of his contract.

The Philadelphia Phillies have made center field a priority with the July 30 trade deadline quickly approaching, and The Athletic's Jim Bowden writes that it would be surprising if they don't land a center fielder by the deadline.

Dakota Hudson Clears Waivers, Outrighted To Triple-A

Colorado Rockies right-hander Dakota Hudson cleared waivers on Thursday and has been outrighted to Triple-A Albuquerque. The move comes after the Rockies designated Hudson for assignment over the weekend.

Blue Jays Put Kevin Kiermaier On Waivers

The Toronto Blue Jays have placed veteran outfielder Kevin Kiermaier on revocable waivers, according to sources. The Blue Jays are likely hoping a team will claim Kiermaier and take around $4.5 million off of the $10.5 million, one-year deal he signed in the offseason. That is unlikely to happen given how badly Kiermaier has struggled […]

Jake Bloss Activated And Starting On Thursday

The Houston Astros activated rookie right-hander Jake Bloss (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list on Thursday and optioned pitcher Kaleb Ort to the minors in a corresponding move.

Yordan Alvarez Not Playing On Thursday

Houston Astros outfielder/designated hitter Yordan Alvarez (hip) is not in the team's starting lineup on Thursday versus the visiting Miami Marlins. It shouldn't come as a huge surprise after Alvarez was forced from Wednesday's game with right-hip tightness.

The Nationals took Dylan Crews with the second overall pick in last year's draft and a lot of people thought they got a steal as the Pirates passed up Crews for his LSU teammate Paul Skenes. Well, we know that Skenes was certainly the right pick so far as he's been dominant in the majors, […]

Brenden Rice Could Miss 53-Man Roster

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Brenden Rice posted career-highs in receptions (45), receiving yards (791), and receiving touchdowns (12) in 2023 while catching passes from USC's Caleb Williams, but he still fell to L.A. in the seventh round of the 2024 NFL Draft.

When Is Jasson Dominguez Getting Called Up? Fantasy Baseball Prospect Outlook (Week 17 Update)

Those who stashed Jasson Dominguez, aka The Martian, hoping for a late-season surge may not get it.

Dominguez returned to the Yankees […]

Should I Stash Max Meyer In Redraft Leagues? Fantasy Baseball Prospect Outlook (Week 16)

As we head into the All-Star Break, the Miami Marlins still sit near the bottom of the MLB standings with the second-fewest wins in all of baseball.

Kimani Vidal Currently In The RB3 Role For Chargers

Los Angeles Chargers running back Kimani Vidal is the current projected RB3 in Greg Roman's offense, according to Daniel Popper of The Athletic.

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tommy Edman (wrist) was scratched from the lineup for Double-A Springfield on Wednesday due to "general soreness" after playing in his first minor-league rehab game on Tuesday.

Jose Altuve To Skip All-Star Game To Rest His Hand

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve (hand) will miss next week's All-Star game, "opting to rest a sore left hand," stemming from being hit by a pitch last Friday against the Minnesota Twins, according to the team.

The Chicago Cubs placed outfielder Cody Bellinger (finger) on the 10-day injured list on Thursday with a left middle-finger fracture and recalled outfielder Alexander Canario from Triple-A Iowa in a corresponding move.

We are less than two months away from the NFL kickoff. This season there are a lot of exciting fantasy rookies joining the dynasty scene.

Three NFL Offenses Trending Down In 2024 Fantasy Football

Drafting players on the best offenses in the NFL is a sound fantasy football strategy. But that's a luxury that not every fantasy manager can afford. The best offenses also aren't the same year over year. New coaches come to town, a different quarterback is under center, or skill position players switch teams. Below, we […]

Daulton Varsho Out Versus Giants

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Daulton Varsho (knee) will take a seat for Thursday's series finale against the Giants in San Francisco. Varsho injured his left knee while sliding into first base in Wednesday's win, but he's dealing with a contusion and should be considered day-to-day. There's a chance he'll be right back in the lineup […]

Bo Bichette Out Of The Lineup On Thursday

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette (calf) is out of the team's starting lineup for Thursday's series finale against the hosting San Francisco Giants after being pulled from Wednesday's contest early with right-calf soreness.

Jets Offense Looking To "Detail It Up" With Aaron Rodgers Back

The New York Jets offense should be more fine-tuned in its second year under offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett in 2024 while also getting future Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers back from the torn Achilles he suffered in Week 1 last fall. In addition to Rodgers' return, the Jets added Tyron Smith and John Simpson […]
