Nick Castellanos Not Starting Thursday

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Nick Castellanos is not in the starting lineup on Thursday against the Chicago Cubs as the Phillies look to snap their four-game losing skid.

Jacob deGrom Moved Up To Friday Against Braves

The New York Mets will move right-hander Jacob deGrom's next start up to Friday for the series opener against the division-rival Atlanta Braves, according to skipper Buck Showalter.

Eloy Jimenez Sitting Against Orioles

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez is not in Thursday's starting lineup against the Baltimore Orioles.

Tyler Glasnow Has Successful Season Debut

Tampa Bay Rays right-hander Tyler Glasnow made his first start in 2022 since returning from Tommy John surgery on Wednesday against the Cleveland Guardians, and he looked good, allowing an earned run on two hits (one homer) while walking one and striking out three in three innings of work in the 2-1 loss.

Austin Hooper Doesn't Practice Wednesday

Tennessee Titans tight end Austin Hooper (neck) didn't practice Wednesday. He was spotted running on a side field during Wednesday's session.

Marquez Valdes-Scantling Limited At Wednesday's Practice

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling (abdomen) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Fantasy Baseball Trade Targets - Buy/Sell For Week 25

Making the right trades can be crucial to championship success in fantasy baseball, almost as much as the draft, if not more.

Tua Tagovailoa Expected To Play Thursday Night Against Bengals

Is Amon-Ra St. Brown Hurt or Healthy? Is Amon-Ra St. Brown Playing in Week 4 for Fantasy Football?

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown came into this season with significant momentum. Over the last six weeks of 2021, St. Brown averaged 25.2 PPR points per game and was the WR2 behind Cooper Kupp. There was widespread skepticism that the former USC Trojan would be able to replicate that success in 2022, though. […]

All offseason, the fantasy football community examined who would replace Davante Adams as the Packers' No. 1 WR. Would Allen Lazard, the guy with the most chemistry with Aaron Rodgers step up?

Week 4 IDP Start Em, Sit Em - Streamers and Fades for Fantasy Football Defensive Players

So far this season has been loaded with disappointments in the fantasy football realm. Kadarius Toney isn't playing, everyone on the Panthers has forgotten D.J.
