Alex Wood Headed To IL

San Francisco Giants left-handed pitcher Alex Wood (shoulder) has been placed on the 15-day injured list with a left shoulder impingement. Wood said that the shoulder really started bugging him three starts ago, but he has been feeling pain for quite a while. That tracks, as Wood has a 13.86 ERA and 1.70 WHIP over […]

Pharaoh Brown Uncertain For Week 1

Houston Texans tight end Pharaoh Brown (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Week 1 against the Indianapolis Colts. The 28-year-old is dealing with a hamstring injury, which have a tendency to linger. Luckily, the Texans did add O.J. Howard as insurance at tight end. Also, Brevin Jordan should see a significant snap count this upcoming […]

Yordan Alvarez Still Out Saturday

Houston Astros outfielder/designated hitter Yordan Alvarez (hand) is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. He was expected to return yesterday, but was a late scratch as he felt discomfort in his hand. This will be the fifth game Alvarez has missed due to the injury, but he should still […]

Jalen Ramsey Expected To Play In Week 1

Los Angeles Rams defensive back Jalen Ramsey (shoulder) is expected to suit up in Week 1, according to head coach Sean McVay. The organization believes that the superstar defensive back will be ready for their Thursday night matchup against the Buffalo Bills.

Salvador Perez Not In Saturday's Lineup

Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez (hand) is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Detroit Tigers. Perez left Friday's game early and was diagnosed with a right hand contusion after X-rays came back negative. It is likely that the veteran backstop is just feeling sore and needs an extra day or two […]

Andrew Benintendi Heads To IL

New York Yankees outfielder Andrew Benintendi (wrist) has been placed on the 10-day injured list with right wrist inflammation. Benintendi hurt his wrist in Friday's game against the Rays, and although X-rays came back negative, he will head to the IL and miss at least the next 10 days. It is unfortunate timing, as the […]

Formula 1 Dutch Grand Prix DFS: DraftKings Daily Fantasy F1 Lineup Picks

Formula 1 heads to Circuit Zandvoort on Sunday for the Dutch Grand Prix. Max Verstappen started the weekend slow, but he earned the pole in a thrilling qualifying session and will start beside Charles Leclerc on the front row. Last week, Verstappen won...again. Last year's champion has now won three races in a row and […]

Miguel Cabrera Sitting Out On Saturday

Detroit Tigers first baseman/designated hitter Miguel Cabrera (biceps) is not in the lineup on Saturday vs. the Kansas City Royals. Cabrera was lifted from Friday's contest with biceps discomfort so that appears to be why he's missing from Saturday's lineup as well. Spencer Torkelson, who was recently recalled, is taking over at first base and […]

Eric Haase Absent From The Lineup On Saturday

Detroit Tigers catcher Eric Haase (abdomen) is not in the lineup on Saturday vs. the Kansas City Royals. The 29-year-old took an unlucky foul ball in his "lower abdomen" during the first inning of Friday's game and was replaced by Tucker Barnhart after finishing the frame. It's no surprise that he's missing Saturday's contest as […]

Grayson Rodriguez Will Make A Rehab Start Tuesday

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Grayson Rodriguez (lat) will make a minor league rehab start on Tuesday for the Double-A Bowie Bay Sox. The 22-year-old top pitching prospect strained his lat back in June and is slowly but surely working his way back. He worked 1 1/3 scoreless innings in his first rehab start at High-A […]

Nick Castellanos Absent From The Phillies Lineup

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Nick Castellanos (toe) is not in the lineup on Saturday against the San Francisco Giants. The 30-year-old outfielder has missed a handful of games over the last week as he's been dealing with turf toe. The issue has been nagging him for about two weeks and it will need to be monitored […]

Niko Goodrum Released By The Astros

Former Houston Astros infielder Niko Goodrum has been released. The 30-year-old was designated for assignment earlier this week and went unclaimed on waivers. The former Detroit Tiger inked a one-year deal worth $2.1 million with Houston back in March but didn't make an impact with his new club. He logged just 43 at-bats and put […]

Leody Taveras Sitting Out On Saturday

Texas Rangers center fielder Leody Taveras is not in the lineup on Saturday vs. the Boston Red Sox. This is just a day off for the speedy 23-year-old who's slashing a rock-solid .285/.331/.399 with three home run, 29 RBI, nine stolen bases, and 30 runs scored over 228 at-bats for the Rangers this season. Bubba […]

49ers Expect Trey Lance To Struggle?

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Trey Lance is likely to struggle in his first full season as the starting QB, and even some of the team's recent public comments indicate they think as much. The Niners have question marks at four of the five starting offensive line spots. The defense is one of the best in […]

A.J. Brown Poised For Big Year

ESPN's Dan Graziano wouldn't be surprised if Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown goes over the 1,000-yard mark in his first season in Philly. The Eagles haven't had a receiver go over 1,000 yards since Jeremy Maclin in 2014, and they ranked second in rushing attempts and first in rushing yards in 2021. No team […]

Wan'Dale Robinson Has A Big Opportunity

ESPN's Dan Graziano wouldn't be surprised if New York Giants rookie second-round wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson leads the team in receiving in 2022. The coaching staff and front office didn't sign Kenny Golladay and didn't draft Kadarius Toney or Sterling Shepard. Plus, Golladay can't separate from defenders, Toney continues to deal with injuries and Shepard […]

C.J. Ham Could Be Used In Multiple Ways

Minnesota Vikings fullback C.J. Ham was being talked up by the team in training camp this summer as a player that could contribute in multiple ways on offense in 2022. The new coaching staff and quarterback Kirk Cousins really see Ham as a player that can help in multiple ways. Head coach Kevin O'Connell could […]

Jaylen Waddle Could Remain Highly Productive

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle caught 104 passes last year as a rookie, and ESPN's Dan Graziano believes that Waddle could lead the team in receiving in 2022, despite the addition of All-Pro pass-catcher Tyreek Hill. Waddle already has a connection with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, who is likely to lean more on shorter, quick-hitting […]

Matthew Stafford's Elbow Could Be A Concern All Year

The Los Angeles Rams continue to say they have a plan for managing quarterback Matthew Stafford's elbow this year, and they don't expect it to be a problem. But this is Stafford's throwing elbow. The level of precision required to succeed at the QB position in the NFL is so high that even the slightest […]

Chargers Defense Is The Real Deal

The Los Angeles Chargers defense is being overlooked with all the hype surrounding quarterback Justin Herbert and the offense. They have legitimate superstars up front with Joey Bosa and on the back end in safety Derwin James. When James is healthy, he is the difference-maker for the Chargers D, and the big contract they just […]

NASCAR Xfinity Series: DraftKings DFS Lineup Picks for Sport Clips Haircuts VFW Help A Hero 200 at Darlington (9/3/22)

Now, drivers have […]

Sam Howell Could Become A Draft Steal

Washington Commanders rookie quarterback Sam Howell, who is third on the depth chart entering the 2022 season behind Carson Wentz and Taylor Heinicke, could end up affecting the team's future plans at the position.

Titans Have Major Role Planned For Treylon Burks

ESPN.com's Dan Graziano writes that the Tennessee Titans have a major role planned for rookie wide receiver Treylon Burks and that there is the possibility for him to lead all rookie receivers in catches. The expectation is for Burks to have some learning experiences early but then to emerge as a focal point for their […]

Career Year On The Way For Jared Goff?

The Detroit Lions apparently feel very good about how quarterback Jared Goff has looked in training camp this offseason. ESPN's Dan Graziano writes that there is a possibility that the former Los Angeles Ram QB takes a major statistical jump from last season, when he completed 67 percent of his passes for 3,245 yards with […]

Russell Gage On Track For Week 1

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wideout Russell Gage (hamstring) recently confirmed that he's trending toward being available for the Buccaneers' Week 1 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys.

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Mike Soroka (Achilles) threw four scoreless innings for Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday night in his minor league rehab start, allowing just one hit while striking out five and walking none.

Ozzie Albies Has Two Hits In Rehab Game

Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies (foot) went 2-for-3 with an RBI in his minor league rehab game with Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday night. Albies went 0-for-4 to start his rehab assignment the day before, but he bounced back on Friday while serving as the designated hitter out of the leadoff spot. The 25-year-old has […]
