Six-year veteran forward Rondae Hollis-Jefferson confirmed that he will play in the Philippines next season.

He said that the season in the Philippines ends in February, so […]

Kobi Simmons Waived By Hornets

Charlotte Hornets guard Kobi Simmons has been waived by the team. The 26-year-old made five appearances with the Hornets last year. Before that, Simmons last NBA action was in 2018 with the Cleveland Cavaliers. It appears the Hornets didn't have room for Simmons on the roster after drafting Brandon Miller and Nick Smith. The Arizona […]

Rashee Rice, Justyn Ross To Start As "Package" Players

Kansas City Chiefs general manager Brett Veach said on Wednesday that wide receivers Rashee Rice and Justyn Ross will start out as "package" players on offense, but the hope is that they produce enough to graduate and become every-down receivers later in the year. Right now, Skyy Moore is an every-down wideout, and Veach expects […]

Romeo Langford Signs With Jazz

The Utah Jazz have signed guard Romeo Langford to an exhibit 10 contract on Wednesday. Langford is a former first-round pick of the Boston Celtics. However, he has failed to carve out a consistent role for himself through his first four seasons in the league. The 23-year-old will now look to earn a roster spot […]

Kendall Graveman Dealing With Back Discomfort

Updating a previous report, Houston Astros relief pitcher Kendall Graveman (back) left his appearance on Wednesday against the Boston Red Sox with lower-back discomfort and he'll be evaluated in Houston on Thursday. Graveman picked up his 11th hold of the season and allowed a hit and a walk in just two-thirds of an inning before […]

Rays Sign Billy Hamilton To Minor-League Deal

The Tampa Bay Rays are signing speedy outfielder Billy Hamilton to a minor-league deal on Wednesday, according to a source. Hamilton last played on July 7 for the Chicago White Sox's Triple-A affiliate because of a right-shoulder injury, so he's going to need a little bit of time to ramp up after he was released […]

Mason Miller Likely To Need One More Rehab Outing

Oakland Athletics manager Mark Kotsay said that rookie right-hander Mason Miller (elbow) was fine after his 29-pitch outing on Tuesday, but he will likely need one more minor-league rehab outing for Triple-A Las Vegas before rejoining the major-league roster. Miller was touching triple digits with his fastball in his one scoreless inning of work on […]

Will Kadarius Toney Be Ready By Week 1? Fantasy Football Injury Update

Last season, the Kansas City Chiefs traded for former New York Giants first-round pick Kadarius Toney. He appeared in seven games for the Chiefs during the regular season, catching 14 passes for 171 yards and two touchdowns. In three playoff games, Toney had seven catches for 50 yards and a score. It looked like the […]

Gabriel Moreno Takes A Seat Wednesday

Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Gabriel Moreno is receiving the day off on Wednesday night versus the Los Angeles Dodgers. Moreno, the team's everyday backstop, is just getting a normal day of rest. Jose Herrera will catch rookie right-hander Brandon Pfaadt and will hit eighth against Dodgers right-hander Ryan Pepiot. The 23-year-old Moreno doesn't have much power […]

Andres Munoz Picks Up His 11th Save On Wednesday

Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Andres Munoz earned the save on Wednesday when he worked a scoreless ninth inning to go along with one strikeout in a 5-4 win over the Oakland Athletics. The M's clawed back to gain a narrow one-run lead in the seventh inning and Matt Brash did his thing in the eighth […]

Will Smith Receives A Breather

Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Will Smith will start Wednesday's game against the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks on the bench. It's a normal day of rest for the All-Star backstop. He should be back in the starting lineup on Thursday for the start of a big weekend series against the Atlanta Braves. With Smith sitting, Austin Barnes […]

Bryce Miller Gets A No-Decision On Wednesday

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Bryce Miller took a no-decision on Wednesday when he allowed three runs on seven hits with five strikeouts over six innings in a 5-4 win over the Oakland Athletics. Miller struggled with his efficiency in this one but he battled long enough to give his team six innings. He really had […]

Brendan Rodgers Not Playing After All

Colorado Rockies second baseman Brendan Rodgers (illness) has been scratched from Wednesday's starting lineup against the visiting Atlanta Braves. Alan Trejo is now starting at the keystone and batting eighth against Braves rookie right-hander Darius Vines. Rodgers will now miss his second straight game due to an illness. Not many fantasy managers were going to […]

Ke'Bryan Hayes Getting A Day Off

Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes is sitting out on Wednesday as the team takes on the Kansas City Royals. Vinny Capra will get the start at the hot corner and will hit sixth for the Bucs against Royals left-hander Angel Zerpa. Hayes' overall numbers don't look very impressive in his fourth big-league season, but […]

Salvador Perez Scratched On Wednesday

Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez (back, neck) was scratched from Wednesday's lineup against the Pittsburgh Pirates with upper-back/neck tightness. Freddy Fermin will now do the catching for the Royals and will bat sixth in the order against Pirates right-hander Andre Jackson. Until we know more about Perez's injury, fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day. […]

Jelani Woods Placed On Injured Reserve

Indianapolis Colts tight end Jelani Woods (hamstring) was placed on IR on Wednesday. The second-year tight end missed the entire preseason with a hamstring issue and now cannot be activated until at least Week 4. Woods posted a decent rookie season--as far as tight ends go--last year when he had 25 catches for 312 yards […]

Kendall Graveman Exits Early On Wednesday

Houston Astros relief pitcher Kendall Graveman (undisclosed) was forced to exit early during Wednesday's game against the Boston Red Sox. The right-hander left with a trainer after displaying some discomfort on the mound. This is obviously concerning considering Graveman is one of the more important pieces to the Astros' bullpen. The hope is that this […]

Isaiah McKenzie Signs With The Colts

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie has re-signed with the team after being released earlier in the day on Wednesday. The veteran wideout signed with the Colts in the offseason and was battling with rookie Josh Downs for the Colts' starting slot role during camp. After McKenzie was initially released it appeared that Downs had […]

Austin Wells Heading To The Majors

New York Yankees catcher Austin Wells is getting the call to the big league roster on Friday. The 24-year-old is regarded as one of the top catching prospects in baseball. This season, Wells is slashing .243/.335/.447 with 17 home runs and seven steals through 95 games in the minors. The expectation is that Wells is […]

Chris Bassitt Throws Eight Shutout Innings

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Chris Bassitt put together a masterful performance during Wednesday's game against the Washington Nationals. The right-hander went eight innings, allowing zero runs and three hits in the 7-0 victory. The 34-year-old also struck out three batters while walking one during this contest. He now holds a 3.81 ERA through 27 […]

Melvin Gordon III Signs With The Ravens

Baltimore Ravens running back Melvin Gordon III has signed with the team to be a member of their practice squad one day after being released. The veteran RB didn't do enough during camp to crack the 53-man roster but they were able to bring him back this way. After fizzling out with the Broncos over […]

Lane Thomas Exits Early On Wednesday

Washington Nationals outfielder Lane Thomas (back) was forced to exit early during Wednesday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. The 28-year-old was taken out of the game in the seventh inning due to back tightness, according to manager Dave Martinez. The organization is uncertain if Thomas will be in the lineup on Thursday. However, it […]

Zach Ertz Uncertain If He'll Play In Week 1

Arizona Cardinals tight end Zach Ertz (knee) is uncertain whether or not he'll be able to play in Week 1 against the Washington Commanders. Ertz has been cleared to practice since mid-August, but he told reporters on Wednesday that he needs to see how he recovers after stringing together multiple practices, among other things. He […]

Jasson Dominguez To Join Yankees On Friday

New York Yankees outfielder Jasson Dominguez is reportedly going to be recalled ahead of Friday's game against the Houston Astros. The 20-year-old top prospect will head to the majors after playing less than 10 games in Triple-A. This season, Dominguez has posted a .801 OPS with 15 home runs and 39 stolen bases across 117 […]

Mike Boone Temporarily Released Then Re-Signed

Houston Texans running back Mike Boone was temporarily released by the team but then quickly re-signed, according to beat writer Aaron Wilson. Wilson described the move as "roster gymnastics" as Boone re-signed with the team for the same two-year deal he inked in the offseason. It definitely makes sense for the Texans to keep the […]

Austin Gomber Could Be Skipped In Rotation

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Austin Gomber (back) could be skipped on his next turn in the rotation, according to manager Bud Black. The left-hander made an early exit from Monday's start due to back soreness. The Rockies have two days off within the next week, so they will be able to give Gomber a little […]
