Kerry Carpenter Not Close To Resuming Baseball Activities

Detroit Tigers outfielder Kerry Carpenter (spine) has been rehabbing at Comerica Park but is not close to resuming baseball activities.

Colt Keith May Not Return Until Wednesday

Detroit Tigers rookie second baseman Colt Keith (knee) will likely be out of the lineup for the series opener against the Washington Nationals on Tuesday with the Nats throwing left-hander Mitchell Parker.

Arizona Diamondbacks shortstop Geraldo Perdomo (knee) will return from the 10-day injured list to rejoin the team on Tuesday for the start of their series against the Los Angeles Angels.

Manny Machado Returning For Friars

San Diego Padres manager Mike Shildt said on MLB Network Radio on SiriusXM that third baseman Manny Machado (hip) "will be in the DH spot to make sure we limit the load on his lower half." A strained right hip flexor has kept Machado out of the team's starting lineup for each of the last […]

Vinnie Pasquantino On The Bench Against Lefty

Kansas City Royals left-handed-hitting first baseman Vinnie Pasquantino will start on the bench on Monday versus the visiting New York Yankees and left-hander Carlos Rodon, even though he's hitting .302 (13-for-43) against left-handers this year.

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton is taking a seat on Monday against the visiting Colorado Rockies.

Jon Rahm An Easy Fade At U.S. Open

As if the bad play in non-LIV events wasn't enough to have cause for concern about playing Jon Rahm (foot) in fantasy lineups, his recent withdrawal from the Saudi League's event in Houston with an infection in his left foot should. The Spaniard has still not secured a victory on his new circuit and has […]

Adley Rutschman, Connor Norby Off On Monday

Baltimore Orioles catcher Adley Rutschman and rookie infielder Connor Norby are both out of the team's starting lineup on Monday as they take on the Tampa Bay Rays.

Pat Freiermuth To Be Heavily Involved In Arthur Smith's Offense

Van Jefferson The Early WR2 In Pittsburgh?

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Van Jefferson signed a one-year, $1.29 million contract to join the organization this offseason, and Mark Kaboly of the Athletic said he looks like the team's No. 2 wide receiver after OTAs. After moving on from Diontae Johnson, third-year wideout George Pickens is the unquestioned No. 1 wide receiver, but the […]

Cardinals Expecting Big Season From Michael Wilson

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson finished his rookie campaign with 38 receptions (58 targets) for 565 yards and three touchdowns in 13 games last year. It wasn't a great showing, but the Stanford product posted three games of at least 75 receiving yards and netted a respectable 14.9 yards per reception. Franchise quarterback Kyler […]

Is Christian Kirk Or Brian Thomas Jr. The WR1 For The Jaguars?

The Jacksonville Jaguars offense will look a little different in 2024, especially at the wide receiver position. They lost Calvin Ridley -- who signed a multi-year deal with the Tennessee Titans -- in free agency and cut Zay Jones after the 2024 NFL Draft.  However, the Jaguars replaced them this offseason by signing Gabe Davis […]

Javon Baker A Limited Participant In Monday's Practice

New England Patriots wide receiver Javon Baker (undisclosed) was a limited participant in Monday's offseason practice, according to Patriots reporter Mike Kadlick. It's unclear why the rookie isn't practicing in full, but he is not wearing gloves or getting the ball thrown to him in drills. For now, this shouldn't be much of a concern, […]

Is Javonte Williams Or Audric Estime The RB1 For The Broncos?

The Denver Broncos have one of the deepest backfields in the NFL. While they lack a superstar talent, the Broncos have four impactful running backs on the roster. Denver signed Samaje Perine in free agency last offseason. They also found a steal in Jaleel McLaughlin as an undrafted free agent in the 2023 NFL Draft. […]

Is Darnell Mooney Or Rondale Moore The WR2 For The Falcons?

The Atlanta Falcons offense got significantly better this offseason, especially with the addition of Kirk Cousins. Cousins signed a four-year, $180 million deal with the Falcons in free agency after spending the past six seasons with the Minnesota Vikings.  Cousins now joins a Falcons offense that has plenty of great weapons. Drake London should serve […]

Rhamondre Stevenson Says He's Nearing Contract Extension

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson told reporters on Monday he thinks he's "pretty close" to signing a contract extension with the organization.

Should I Draft Taysom Hill in 2024 Fantasy Football? Does Hill Still Have Value For Fantasy Football?

The most indispensable and irreplaceable part of the New Orleans Saints offense might be utilized a little differently this season. Multi-skilled wonder Taysom Hill had arguably the best year of his seven-year career in 2023. He set personal bests with 114 touches and 692 combined yards (along with six TDs), which he racked up by […]

Is Hunter Renfrow a Free Agent? Top Landing Spots for Renfrow This Offseason

Wide receiver Hunter Renfrow had a decent start to his NFL career before a 1,000-yard breakout season in 2021 with the Las Vegas Raiders. Unfortunately, he was unable to build on his success over the last two seasons, and he's now in search of a new home. If Renfrow lands with an above-average quarterback and […]
