Justin Steele Not Expected To Return This Season

Chicago Cubs left-hander Justin Steele (back) threw a successful bullpen session on Tuesday and is expected to throw one more high-intensity bullpen, but it sounds as though he will not make it back to make another start for the Cubs in 2022.

James Conner To See More Opportunities?

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (knee) has had a modest start to the 2022 season after breaking out as a top-five fantasy option in 2021.

Cordarrelle Patterson Resting His Knee Wednesday

Atlanta Falcons running back Cordarrelle Patterson (knee) didn't take part in Wednesday's practice.

Alexis Diaz Takes The Loss Wednesday

Cincinnati Reds reliever Alexis Diaz came into Wednesday's 3-3 ball game in the bottom of the ninth against the Pittsburgh Pirates but gave up the winning run in the 10th and was tagged with the loss.

Gunnar Henderson Not In Wednesday's Lineup

Baltimore Orioles rookie shortstop Gunnar Henderson isn't in the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Boston Red Sox against a left-handed pitcher.

No Target Date For Starling Marte

New York Mets outfielder Starling Marte's fractured right middle finger remains immobilized and in a splint, and the Mets are still waiting for the swelling and discomfort to subside.

Houston Astros outfielder/designated hitter Yordan Alvarez (ankle) is not in the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Cowboys Defense A Great Choice In Week 4

The Dallas Cowboys defense makes for a strong fantasy option in a Week 4 matchup against the Washington Commanders. The Dallas pass rush has been excellent so far this season, sacking the quarterback six times in Week 2 then five times in Week 3. The Commanders offensive line won't be able to protect quarterback Carson […]

Brett Maher A Solid Kicking Option For Week 4 Lineups

Dallas Cowboys kicker Brett Maher is a solid kicking option in Week 4 fantasy lineups. Maher made three of his four field goal tries in Week 3, missing just a 59-yarder to close out the first half. He's had back-to-back solid performances and should once again see at least a few kicking options against the […]

Jose Berrios Struggles Tuesday Against Yankees

Toronto Blue Jays starter Jose Berrios struggled in his latest outing on Tuesday, surrendering nine hits, five earned runs and a pair of walks in 5 1/3 innings of work against the New York Yankees.

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (thigh) missed Wednesday's practice. The superstar running back has dealt with injuries the past several years, missing 23 of the past 36 games because of various injuries.

Jonathan Schoop Isn't In Wednesday's Lineup

Detroit Tigers second baseman Jonathan Schoop isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Kansas City Royals and left-handed starter Daniel Lynch.
