Khalil Mack Should Be Ready For Next Season

Los Angeles Chargers defensive end Khalil Mack (foot) could probably go at full speed right now, according to head coach Brandon Staley. He missed the end of last season due to a foot issue. However, he notched six sacks in seven games, while dealing with his banged up foot. The Chargers believe Mack should be […]

Jacob deGrom Could Throw Bullpen Session This Weekend

New York Mets pitcher Jacob deGrom (shoulder) is playing catch from about 100 feet Tuesday and could begin throwing bullpen sessions as early as this weekend.

The minor league season rages on. Now that fantasy baseball teams have been drafted and the season is underway, it's imperative to monitor the top fantasy baseball prospects who have turned heads thus far. At this point in the season, excellent prospect performances shouldn't be taken too seriously. Sure, there's no denying that short sample sizes can […]

Tre'Davious White Making Solid Progress

Buffalo Bills defensive back Tre'Davious White (knee) appears to be on schedule with his recovery, according to head coach Sean McDermott. The two-time Pro Bowl defensive back went down in Week 12 with a torn ACL. Surprisingly, the Bills defense didn't struggle too much without White. Although, his return and the addition of Von Miller […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Expected To Be Traded

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo is expected to be traded, but it's not guaranteed, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan.

[…]

Deebo Samuel Expected To Be At Mandatory OTAs

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel is expected to be at mandatory OTAs, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. The organization is hopeful that the two sides can get back to normal. However, they've made little progress on an extension, which is somewhat concerning. The 49ers don't have a ton of cap space, but […]

Roansy Contreras: Champ or Chump for Fantasy Baseball

The next big prospect in fantasy land comes by way of Pittsburgh, as the Pirates are summoning 22-year-old Roansy Contreras to join their rotation. He has already logged MLB time this season with a 3.52 ERA and 10 punchouts over 7 2/3 IP of relief work, but the role wasn't conducive to fantasy value. He […]

Jeffrey Springs Looking Stellar Early On

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Jeffrey Springs is off to an excellent start this season, compiling a 1.32 ERA and 0.80 WHIP over 27 1/3 innings pitched.

Fernando Tatis Jr. Still Not Ready To Swing A Bat

San Diego Padres shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. (wrist) underwent a bone scan on his left wrist on Monday. The results showed that the bone still has some healing to do. As a result, he has not yet been cleared to start swinging a bat. He will have another bone scan soon, but a specific date […]

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. will be on the bench for Tuesday's game against right-hander Jordan Hicks and the St. Louis Cardinals.

Minnesota Twins second baseman Jorge Polanco is absent from the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Detroit Tigers.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Cody Bellinger (illness) is being held out for Tuesday's game against the Washington Nationals as he is feeling under the weather.

Taylor Ward To Miss His Third Straight Game Tuesday

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Taylor Ward (neck) is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Texas Rangers. Ward suffered a neck injury after colliding with the outfield wall this past Friday and he's been held out of game action ever since. Tyler Wade is making his third straight start in right field […]

Harold Varner III A Nice Wildcard For The Charles Schwab

Harold Varner III made the weekend at the PGA Championship and finished just inside the top-50. His ability to hit relatively long off the tee helped. However, his result may have been even better had it not been for the +3 on the back nine. Varner III never truly contended but was at least a […]

Max Homa Playing Well Heading To Charles Schwab Classic

Max Homa was again right in it until almost the end on Sunday at the PGA Championship. What do we mean? He shot right at even par which was a good score on a very difficult Southern Hills course. With the winds and changeable conditions, the American golfer was able to make enough putts to […]

Rickie Fowler May Be One To Watch At Charles Schwab

Rickie Fowler braved the changeable conditions at Southern Hills and endured a wild Sunday ride. In the end, Fowler finished tied for 23rd and shot even-par on Sunday (four birdies, four bogeys). The only concern was that the American golfer never could put together a few holes. Arguably, that might have been the theme of […]

Webb Simpson Looks Ahead After Good PGA Championship

Webb Simpson managed to stay in the top-20 over the weekend at the PGA Championship. The +2 on the back nine did not dampen his spirits. If anything, given the conditions, Simpson felt he played well. He was able to ride the waves and not be too high or too low. Simpson did make a […]

Filip Chytil Set To Remain On Top Line

New York Rangers forward Filip Chytil is set to remain on the top line for Game 4 against Carolina. He replaced Frank Vatrano on the line in Sunday's Game 3 and the shakeup helped Rangers to bounce back from two defeats with a 3-1 win. The 22-year-old has had an underwhelming season with 22 regular-season […]

Justin Rose Returns To Colonial

Justin Rose ended his missed cut streak with a 13th-place finish last week at The PGA Championship. Rose gained 5.1 strokes tee-to-green. It was the first time since January that he gained strokes in that metric. Rose hopes to continue the form he showed last week at a venue he has had success at. Rose […]

Antti Raanta Makes Another Start On Tuesday

Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Antti Raanta will make his 10th postseason start of the year in Tuesday's Game 4 against the Rangers. Frederik Andersen (lower body) has returned to practice, but it seems like he still needs to put in some work before he's ready to return to the crease and Raanta will continue to hold […]

Brendan Smith Riding A Rare Point Streak

Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Brendan Smith finds himself on a three-game point streak ahead of Tuesday's Game 4 against the Rangers.

Lance Lynn Nearing Rehab Assignment

On Tuesday, Chicago White Sox General Manager Rick Hahn stated that Lance Lynn (knee) would begin a rehab assignment later this week.

Jake Odorizzi Throws Bullpen Session On Tuesday

Houston Astros starting pitcher Jake Odorizzi (ankle) tossed a bullpen session at Minute Maid Park on Tuesday.
