Anthony Gose Undergoes Tommy John Surgery

Cleveland Guardians left-hander Anthony Gose (elbow) underwent Tommy John surgery on Wednesday in Texas.

Cleveland Guardians infielder Owen Miller is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Chicago White Sox.

Is Cam Akers or Darrell Henderson Jr. The Los Angeles Rams Starting RB?

Darrell Henderson Jr.and Cam Akers split reps evenly throughout training camp, and the Rams planned to use both Akers and Henderson regularly.

NFL DFS Value Plays for Week 2 on FanDuel and DraftKings

It's hard to believe that Week 2 of the NFL season is here already.

Is Mac Jones Hurt or Healthy? Is Mac Jones Playing in Week 2 for Fantasy Football?

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones was apparently dealing with a back injury in the Week 1 loss to the Miami Dolphins.

What's Gotten Into Washington? Commanders Fantasy Football Outlooks

Not only did the Washington Commanders win their game against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 1, but their skill players also had good fantasy performances as well.
