Raiders Grab Zamir White In Round 4

At pick No. 122 overall, the Las Vegas Raiders have taken running back Zamir White of Georgia. After somewhat surprisingly declining the fifth-year option for current lead running back Josh Jacobs, this is an excellent spot for White. The 22-year-old had 160 attempts for 856 yards and 11 touchdowns, adding nine catches for 75 yards […]

Bailey Ober Placed On Injured List

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Bailey Ober (groin) has been placed on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to April 29. He was removed from Thursday's start after experiencing right groin tightness. It sounds like Ober will miss at least one start, but hopefully can return soon. He has posted a 2.75 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 16/5 […]

Andrew Vaughn X-Rays Came Back Negative

Chicago White Sox first baseman/outfielder Andrew Vaughn (hand) isn't in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. He was removed from Friday's game after getting hit by a pitch on his right hand. Luckily, the X-rays came back negative, so hopefully Vaughn can avoid a trip to the injured list. As […]

Dameon Pierce Selected By Texans With Pick No. 107

The Texans selected Florida running back Dameon Pierce with the 107th pick in the 2022 NFL Draft. The former Gator finished his college career by running for 1,806 yards and 23 touchdowns for a sufficient 5.5 YPC. He was also responsible for five more trips to the end zone on the receiving end.

Jets Add Max Mitchell In Fourth Round

The New York Jets selected tackle Max Mitchell out of Louisiana at pick No. 111 in the 2022 NFL Draft. New York has been one of the most aggressive teams during the draft, selecting playmakers on both sides of the ball. Already with an underrated offensive line, the Jets are aiming to give second-year quarterback […]

Bucs Take Cade Otton To Begin Fourth Round

The Buccaneers took Washington tight end Cade Otton to kick off the third day of the 2022 NFL Draft on Saturday. The 23-year-old, selected with the 106th overall pick, played four seasons with the Huskies, where he finished with 1,026 yards and nine touchdowns off 91 catches. He certainly doesn't lack size at 6'5'', 250 […]

Daulton Varsho Gets A Rest Day

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder/catcher Daulton Varsho isn't in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. This appears to be a routine day off for the 25-year-old who has played a ton recently. In fact, Varsho has started in 19 of the first 22 games of the season. Although, his bat has been […]

Ji-Man Choi Remains Absent On Saturday

Tampa Bay Rays first baseman Ji-Man Choi (elbow) remains out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Minnesota Twins. He'll miss his third game in a row due to a slightly hyperextended left elbow. The organization is hopeful that Choi can avoid a trip to the injured list. In the meantime, Yandy Diaz […]

Yoan Moncada Beginning Rehab Assignment

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada (oblique) will begin a minor league rehab assignment on Saturday. This is good news since Moncada has been sidelined since early April due to a strained right oblique. The 26-year-old should be able to return to the big league roster in early May. He'll likely need a few […]

Michael Brantley Remains Out On Saturday

Houston Astros outfielder Michael Brantley won't be in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. He was forced to miss Friday's game as well due to the league's health and safety protocols. The organization hasn't given much of an update on Brantley, so fantasy managers are in the dark. Nonetheless, Brantley […]
