Darius Slayton Works With Third-Team Offense

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton was working with the third-team offense in training camp practice on Friday. Rookie Wan'Dale Robinson, Kenny Golladay and Kadarius Toney worked with the first team, while Richie James, Collin Johnson and C.J. Board worked with the second team. Slayton worked with Keelan Doss, Austin Proehl and Alex Bachman. […]

Shohei Ohtani Was Never Close To Being Traded

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher/designated hitter Shohei Ohtani was "never close" to being traded prior to last week's deadline, per Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports MLB. This shouldn't come as much of a surprise but there were rumors that the Angels were fielding offers for the megastar before the trade deadline last week. Rosenthal said […]

David Bell Comes Off PUP List

The Cleveland Browns activated rookie wide receiver David Bell (foot) off the Physically Unable to Perform list on Saturday. The third-round pick out of Purdue was a consensus All-American in 2021 and is an intriguing prospect that could earn playing time early as a slot option for the Browns with Jarvis Landry now in New […]

Danny Young Claimed Off Waivers By Atlanta

Former Seattle Mariners left-handed pitcher Danny Young has been claimed off waivers by the Atlanta Braves. Atlanta optioned Young to Triple-A Gwinnett where he'll serve as relief depth for the ball club. The 28-year-old has surrendered three runs over two appearances (3 2/3 innings) this season and was designated for assignment by Seattle on August […]

Tyler Linderbaum Likely Out A Few Weeks

Baltimore Ravens first-round rookie center Tyler Linderbaum (foot) was injured in Friday's training camp practice and had an MRI exam that didn't show any real concerns. However, head coach John Harbaugh said that Linderbaum will likely be out for a week or two, which probably means he won't play in next Thursday's preseason opener against […]

Tommy Hunter Lands On The Injured List

New York Mets reliever Tommy Hunter (back) has been placed on the 15-day injured list with lower back tightness. The veteran reliever has been solid in a limited role for the Mets this year, putting together a 2.51 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, and 16:2 K/BB ratio over 14 1/3 innings (11 appearances) of relief. David Peterson […]

James Proche II Playing Lights-Out In Training Camp

Baltimore Ravens third-year wide receiver James Proche II has been standing out at training camp this summer. He's made a few plays in just about every practice so far and he's working pretty much every area of the field. Proche's precise route-running has made him a nightmare to cover on one-on-one drills. The former sixth-rounder […]

Kirby Yates To Make Another Rehab Start On Sunday

Atlanta Braves reliever Kirby Yates (elbow) is set to make another rehab start on Sunday at Triple-A Gwinnett, according to manager Brian Snitker. The 35-year-old righty made back-to-back hitless appearances earlier this week and didn't sustain any setbacks. He'll likely need a few more rehab outings before joining the Braves' bullpen later this month. Once […]

Byron Pringle To Miss Time With Quad Injury

Chicago Bears head coach Matt Eberflus said that wide receiver Byron Pringle (quadriceps) will miss some time with a quadriceps injury, but there is no specific timetable for his return. Cornerback Kyler Gordon and rookie receiver Velus Jones Jr. are also day-to-day with undisclosed injuries. It hasn't been a good summer for Pringle with his […]

Mike Mayers Has Contract Purchased

Los Angeles Angels relief pitcher Mike Mayers has had his contract selected from Triple-A Salt Lake and will join the team's 40-man roster. The 30-year-old righty was outrighted to the minors back in early June but has now made his way back to the majors. He posted a poor 5.40 ERA, 1.44 WHIP, and 14:6 […]

Jaycee Horn Making A Slow Recovery

Carolina Panthers cornerback Jaycee Horn's (foot) slow recovery from a foot injury from 11 months ago is a little disconcerting, according to The Athletic's Joseph Person. Horn hasn't taken part in any team drills at training camp after coming off the Physically Unable to Perform list, and he won't participate in practice for several more […]

Michael Lorenzen Transferred To 60-Day Injured List

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Michael Lorenzen (shoulder) has been transferred from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL. This was just a procedural move to open up a spot on the Angels' 40-man roster. Lorenzen has been out since the beginning of July with a right shoulder strain but has recently resumed a […]

C.J. Saunders Impressing Again This Summer

Carolina Panthers wide receiver C.J. Saunders impressed during last year's training camp as an undrafted free agent, but most wrote him off as an undersized receiver making the most of his repetitions in non-contact drills against second- and third-stringers. Saunders is impressing again this year, often against the starting secondary, and it's clear he's earned […]

Christian McCaffrey's Stock Is Rising

Although the Carolina Panthers are being cautious with running back Christian McCaffrey at training camp this summer after a rash of injuries the last two seasons, he's not exactly taking it easy either. Head coach Matt Rhule said McCaffrey won't practice more than two days in a row in full pads, but he's still getting […]

Janson Junk Optioned To Triple-A

Los Angeles Angels reliever Janson Junk has been optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday. The 26-year-old right-hander owns a rough 6.48 ERA, 1.56 WHIP, and 11:3 K/BB ratio over 8 1/3 innings (three games, two starts). Reliever Mike Mayers had his contract purchased and will join the Angels' bullpen in a corresponding move.

Michael Thomas Making Progress

New Orleans Saints head coach Dennis Allen said that wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle) was in team drills at training camp practice for the first time on Saturday and came out of them with no setbacks. Thomas even went to the ground and had no issues. So far, Thomas has looked really good at training […]

Oliver Ortega Added To Angels Roster Ahead of Doubleheader

Los Angeles Angels right-handed pitcher Oliver Ortega was added to the team's roster ahead of Saturday's doubleheader against the Seattle Mariners. The 25-year-old righty will serve as the Angels' 27th man and work out of the bullpen if he makes an appearance. He owns a 3.82 ERA, 1.52 WHIP, and 31:18 K/BB ratio over 33 […]

Cam Reddish Could Get Traded

New York Knicks forward Cam Reddish has not experienced an easy journey in the NBA. He has struggled to find consistent playing time in both Atlanta and New York. It's uncertain if Reddish is currently in the Knicks plans for next season. The Los Angeles Lakers had interest in Reddish around the trade deadline. Possibly, […]

Tom Brady Returns To The Team

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady is back at training camp practice on Saturday after a day off and some personal days. There's really nothing to see here. The future first-ballot Hall of Famer hasn't practiced in a few days, but we think he'll be just fine. He'll also be held out of the team's […]

Kevin Durant Might Stay In Brooklyn

Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant might end up being stuck with the organization despite his trade request. Ian Begley reported that no other organization wants to get involved and help out the Nets. It would take a ridiculous amount of assets to obtain Durant in a trade. That being said, there would likely need to […]

Art Warren Starts Rehab Assignment On Saturday

Cincinnati Reds relief pitcher Art Warren (forearm) is starting a rehab assignment on Saturday at Triple-A Louisville. The 29-year-old reliever has been dealing with a right flexor pronator strain in his right arm since the beginning of July. He'll get a few minor league games under his belt before joining the Reds sometime in mid-August. […]

Mike Evans Day-To-Day With Hamstring Injury

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said that wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) is "day-to-day" with a hamstring injury that he suffered in practice on Friday at training camp. Evans has a history of minor hamstring injuries, but he should be just fine after sitting out potentially a couple days of practice. Barring another […]

Tyrese Maxey Continues To Impress

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey has made huge strides in his game since joining the league. Head coach Doc Rivers went as far as to say Maxey is the most impressive young player that he's had during his career coaching. Once James Harden joined the team, Maxey's game went to another level. The expectation is […]

Austin Hays Remains Out Saturday

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Austin Hays (oblique) is out of the starting lineup again on Saturday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Hays is dealing with oblique tightness, but he downplayed the injury on Friday, so he could return to Baltimore's lineup on Sunday. Brett Phillips will get another start in left field on Saturday while hitting ninth […]

Quentin Grimes Wants Expanded Role

New York Knicks guard Quentin Grimes recently said that he wants to have an expanded role on the team next season. He put together a fantastic performance during the Summer League. Grimes has been mainly playing off the ball, but is ready for more responsibility. The 22-year-old could very well compete for playing time with […]

Taijuan Walker Lit Up By Braves

New York Mets starting pitcher Taijuan Walker had an outing to forget on Friday against the division-rival Atlanta Braves in a 9-6 loss. The right-hander lasted just one inning, allowing eight earned runs on seven hits (two home runs) while striking out none and walking none. The nightmare outing raised the 29-year-old's ERA to 3.45 […]

Tylor Megill To Throw Bullpen Next Saturday

New York Mets right-hander Tylor Megill (shoulder) is scheduled to throw his first bullpen session next Saturday. Megill will return to the Mets as a reliever in late August or early September. After the season, the Mets have told him they'll stretch him back out as a starter for next year. Before his injury, the […]

Framber Valdez Earns The Victory Friday

Houston Astros left-hander Framber Valdez completed 6 1/3 innings of work on Friday and got his 10th win when his team beat the Cleveland Guardians 9-3. He allowed three runs on seven hits and had just three strikeouts with three walks. His 21.7% strikeout rate doesn't do much for fantasy managers, but Valdez has been […]

Jason Castro Could Consider Retirement

Houston Astros catcher Jason Castro (knee), who underwent season-ending surgery on his left knee on July 26 to fix a torn meniscus, said he hasn't made a decision about his future after considering retirement in the spring after the 2022 season. "I'm non-weight-bearing for six weeks, so it's going to be difficult to kind of […]

Lance McCullers Jr. To Make Another Rehab Start Sunday

Houston Astros right-hander Lance McCullers Jr. (forearm), who was injured in last year's postseason, will make his fourth minor league rehab start for Triple-A Sugar Land on Sunday and could then face a decision on whether he's ready to be activated from the injured list. McCullers allowed two earned runs on three hits while striking […]
