When healthy, Nootbaar is […]

Jake Fraley Sitting Out On Thursday

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Jake Fraley (calf) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Thursday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals.

Cleveland Guardians outfielder Will Brennan (rib) has been placed on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to June 25.

Minnesota Twins shortstop Carlos Correa (arm) was forced to exit early during Thursday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Los Angeles Angels infielder Brandon Drury (illness) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Thursday's game against the Detroit Tigers.

Rome Odunze In Play For Punt-Return Role

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze is an exciting young asset for fantasy football, but since he will share the field with DJ Moore and Keenan Allen while catching passes from a rookie quarterback, his upside in Year 1 could be limited. According to Michael Smith of Pro Football Talk, he is a contender for […]

Brian Daboll To Call Plays For Giants?

New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll earned his opportunity with the organization after one year as Alabama's offensive coordinator and four seasons as the Buffalo Bills' offensive coordinator.
