Marlon Mack Gets Released By Texans

Houston Texans running back Marlon Mack has been released by the organization. The team moved on from him in late August, but decided to bring him back. Now, Houston has decided to completely move on from Mack instead of carrying him on the practice squad. The expectation is that rookie Dameon Pierce will get a […]

Jeff Wilson Jr. Likely To Have Increased Workload

San Francisco 49ers running back Jeff Wilson Jr. has a chance to really make an impact this upcoming season. Wilson will be the primary backup with Trey Sermon gone and JaMycal Hasty getting released. Elijah Mitchell will be the starter, but Wilson should still see plenty of action this upcoming season. He finished with 294 […]

Jason Peters Has Agreement With Cowboys

The Dallas Cowboys have reportedly agreed to a contract with offensive tackle Jason Peters. The 40-year-old is expected to begin the season on the practice squad. Although, Peters could certainly see some action, assuming the Cowboys lose a few players to injuries. The nine-time Pro Bowl tackle probably still has a little left in the […]

Wade Miley Expected To Return On Tuesday

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Wade Miley (shoulder) is expected to take the mound for Tuesday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. The left-hander has been sidelined since early June due to shoulder issues. Miley has only made four starts for the Cubs this year because of lingering injuries. However, he's posting a 2.84 ERA, 1.21 WHIP […]

Wil Myers Exits Early During Sunday's Contest

San Diego Padres outfielder Wil Myers (neck) was forced to exit early during Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The 31-year-old was pulled out of the contest in the third inning due to neck tightness. Since then, the organization hasn't given an update on Myers, but the expectation is that he's listed as day-to-day. […]

MLB Hitter Studs and Duds - Advanced Metrics Leaders for BWS (Week 22)

Not long ago, Jordan Rosenblum analyzed a metric called BWS (Barrels, Walks, Strikeouts). As he stated, "A focus on just three metrics: barrels, walks, and strikeouts, cuts through the noise to get at a hitter’s true talent level." Of course, he went deeper and created his own weighted version using historical data to compare against […]

Evan Longoria Has Pinch-Hit Appearance

San Francisco Giants third baseman Evan Longoria (hamstring) was out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. The veteran slugger continues to deal with a lingering hamstring issue. Although, Longoria was able to come off the bench as a pinch hitter during Sunday's contest. The right-hander slugger did strike out, but […]

Luis Robert Uncertain For Monday

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert (wrist) was activated off the paternity leave list on Sunday. Despite that, Robert remained out of the starting lineup for Sunday's contest against the Minnesota Twins. He continues to battle an ongoing wrist injury, so that's probably why he sat out. Robert has been dealing with this wrist problem […]

Cleveland Browns D/ST - 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~210 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~225 ANALYSIS: The Browns were one of my favorite defenses coming into last season, but they didn't quite pan out. They had an up-and-down season as a fantasy unit, but their actual defensive performance wasn't that bad. As I mentioned in my draft article, when I mentioned […]

Gavin Lux Could Miss More Time

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Gavin Lux (back, neck) was out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the San Diego Padres. He has missed three straight games due to a lingering back and neck issue. The team did give Lux a cortisone shot on Saturday, so hopefully that helps him. The 24-year-old will likely […]

Austin Slater Is Still Dealing With An Injury

San Francisco Giants outfielder Austin Slater (finger) was held out of the Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. It marked the fourth game in a row that Slater has missed. He dislocated his pinky finger last week, so the team is giving him extra time off. Clearly, Slater still isn't ready to play, but it […]

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson received praise from head coach Bill Belichick regarding his pass-catching prowess. "It's something that he now has shown that he can do.

Adrian Houser To Start On Monday

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Adrian Houser will make the start against the Colorado Rockies on Monday. The right-hander will step up and fill in with Freddy Peralta having his start pushed back. It sounds like the plan is for Peralta to get extra rest and take the mound on Tuesday. Houser won't be a recommended […]

Triston Casas Gets First Career Hit

Boston Red Sox first baseman Triston Casas accomplished a big milestone during Sunday's game against the Texas Rangers. The 22-year-old recorded his first hit of his major league career. It was an infield chopper in the fifth inning off lefty reliever John King. The expectation is that Casas should play basically everyday against right-handed pitching. […]

Michael Pineda Gets Designated For Assignment

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Michael Pineda has been designated for assignment by the organization. This shouldn't come as a surprise as the Tigers want to look at younger players during the final month of the season. Pineda has been awful with a 5.79 ERA and 1.41 WHIP on the season. Despite that, Pineda has put […]

Aaron Judge Collects Three Hits In Victory

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge has put together an incredible season in 2022. The righty slugger appears to be the Yankees only reliable source of offense at the moment. On Sunday, Judge went 3-for-5 with a home run and a double in the 2-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays. This home run notched […]

Max Fried Posts Strong Outing On Sunday

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Max Fried has been fantastic this season and continued his success on Sunday. The left-hander went five scoreless innings during Sunday's win over the Miami Marlins. Fried struck out six hitters and retired 14 of the 15 batters he faced during this contest. The 28-year-old has allowed three earned runs or […]
