Russell Henley Is A Wyndham Championship Whisperer

Tank Bigsby Impressing In Short-Yardage Situations

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Tank Bigsby has been impressing in short-yardage situations in training camp.

The Las Vegas Raiders are apparently open to restarting contract talks with running back Josh Jacobs with the hopes of getting him to rejoin the team.

Padres Land Garrett Cooper, Sean Reynolds From Fish

The San Diego Padres acquired first baseman/outfielder Garrett Cooper and right-hander Sean Reynolds from the Miami Marlins on Tuesday in exchange for left-hander Ryan Weathers.

The Cleveland Guardians acquired infielder Jean Segura and infield prospect Kahlil Watson from the Miami Marlins on Tuesday in exchange for first baseman Josh Bell, according to sources.

Padres Land Scott Barlow

Kansas City Royals relief pitcher Scott Barlow is being traded to the San Diego Padres on Tuesday. The right-handed reliever will be moved in exchange for pitchers Jesus Rio and Henry Williams.

Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes (back) has returned to Pittsburgh from his minor-league rehab assignment and is hoping to be activated from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday night or Wednesday.

Trevor Story Might Not Return This Weekend

Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora has pumped the brakes on shortstop Trevor Story's (elbow) return from the injured list this weekend.

J.D. Martinez Taking A Seat Against Oakland

Los Angeles Dodgers designated hitter J.D. Martinez (hamstring) will retreat to the bench on Tuesday against the visiting Oakland Athletics. The Dodgers haven't revealed the results of Martinez's MRI exam after he was forced to depart Sunday's game early against the Cincinnati Reds with left-hamstring tightness, so fantasy managers should continue to consider the 35-year-old […]

Will Smith Starting For Dodgers Tuesday

Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Will Smith (elbow) is back in the starting lineup on Tuesday to face left-hander Ken Waldichuk and the Oakland Athletics. Smith is doing the catching and batting third in the lineup. X-rays came back negative for Smith after he was hit by a pitch in the left elbow of Sunday's series […]

Orioles Acquire Jack Flaherty

Josh Naylor Scratched On Tuesday

Cleveland Guardians first baseman Josh Naylor (side) has been scratched ahead of Tuesday's game against the Houston Astros.

For the moment, fantasy managers should consider […]

Nolan Jones Returns For Rockies

Colorado Rockies outfielder Nolan Jones is back in the starting lineup on Tuesday against San Diego Padres right-hander Pedro Avila after leaving Monday's game early with mild cramping.

New York Mets outfielder Tommy Pham was expected to be moved all week long and will now be a last-second deadline move.

Pham […]

Mike Evans Could Get A New Deal

Recent regimen changes have Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans feeling like he could play well into his 30s.
