Chicago Bears wide receiver Byron Pringle (quadriceps) took part in practice on Monday for the first time in a long time.

Logan Thomas Up In The Air For Season Opener

Washington Commanders tight end Logan Thomas (knee) said his knee feels good, but no decision has been made yet about whether he'll play in the Week 1 regular season opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday.

Packers Hopeful Christian Watson Will Play In Week 1

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that he's hopeful that rookie wide receiver Christian Watson (knee) will be able to play in the Week 1 regular season opener on Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings.

Baltimore Orioles right-hander Jordan Lyles (illness) has been scratched from his scheduled start on Monday in Game 2 of a doubleheader against the Toronto Blue Jays.

Houston Astros starting pitcher Justin Verlander (calf) was seen throwing on flat ground on Monday. General manager James Click said on Sunday that Verlander isn't likely to return from the 15-day injured list when he's eligible on Sept. 13, but he shouldn't be out too far beyond that.

Chase Silseth Contributes To Combined No-Hitter

Blaine Crim Homers In Five Straight Games

Texas Rangers first base prospect Blaine Crim was selected in the 19th round of the 2019 draft and has slowly climbed through the minor league ranks.

David Calabrese Does A Little Bit Of Everything

Los Angeles Angels outfield prospect David Calabrese continues to make an impact in the lower levels of the minors.

A solid defender, Calabrese has spent most of this season in center, where […]

Willian Suarez Posting Insane Strikeout Rates

San Francisco Giants relief pitching prospect Willian Suarez has made a slow progression through the minors since being signed out of the Dominican Republic in 2015.

Tee Higgins Back At Practice

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (shoulder) returned to practice on Monday after being away last week.

Fantasy managers will want to keep an […]

Zach Ertz's Week 1 Status Up In The Air

Arizona Cardinals tight end Zach Ertz (calf) is being called "day-to-day" by head coach Kliff Kingsbury, so this will be a situation worth monitoring before Week 1 start-or-sit decisions. Arizona faces off with Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs in what should be a high-scoring affair with plenty of fantasy football intrigue in the […]

Connor Joe Not In Monday's Lineup

Colorado Rockies outfielder and first baseman Connor Joe isn't starting on Monday for a matchup with the Milwaukee Brewers and right-hander Adrian Houser. Joe is hitting .242 with a .342 on-base percentage, six home runs, and six stolen bases in 450 plate appearances this season. Sean Bouchard will draw the start in left field instead […]

Jacksonville Jaguars running back James Robinson (Achilles) carried a lot of uncertainty during the NFL offseason after a major injury late in 2021.

Yandy Diaz On The Bench Monday

Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Yandy Diaz isn't in the team's lineup on Monday for a matchup with the Boston Red Sox and right-handed starter Michael Wacha.

Deebo Samuel Returns To Practice

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel (knee) missed practice last Thursday with a bone bruise behind his knee but did participate in conditioning.

Cardinals Option Dakota Hudson To Triple-A

The St. Louis Cardinals optioned starting pitcher Dakota Hudson to Triple-A on Monday. The 27-year-old has been a solid rotation option for the Cardinals this year, logging a 4.43 ERA, a 4.45 FIP, 72 walks, and 56 walks in 126 innings. He's given up three runs or fewer in six of his last 10 starts […]
