Cubs Re-Sign Michael Hermosillo Before Lockout Begins

The Chicago Cubs re-signed outfielder Michael Hermosillo to a one-year, $600,000 major league deal on Wednesday night before MLB entered a lockout on Thursday. The 26-year-old was non-tendered on Wednesday before the Cubs decided to re-sign him to a new deal. Hermosillo dealt with several injuries that slowed him down last season, but he managed […]

Johan Camargo Signs With Phillies

The Philadelphia Phillies signed infielder Johan Camargo to a one-year, $1.4 million deal on Wednesday night before MLB entered a lockout on Thursday. The deal includes $100,000 in incentives. Camargo became a free agent when the Atlanta Braves didn't tender him a contract for 2022. Right-hander Adonis Medina was designated for assignment to clear a […]

Garrett Bolles Activated From COVID-19 List

The Denver Broncos activated left tackle Garrett Bolles off the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday. The team's starting left tackle has also been out since Week 9 with an ankle injury. It's great timing for his return with backup offensive tackle Calvin Anderson (ankle, knee) heading to Injured Reserve after getting injured in the Week 12 […]

Devin Duvernay Back On The Practice Field

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Devin Duvernay (thigh) was back on the practice field on Thursday after missing Wednesday's session. Duvernay's thigh injury doesn't appear to be serious enough to keep him from playing in a big divisional contest this Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The 24-year-old has primarily served as Baltimore's kickoff and punt returner, […]

Kyler Murray, DeAndre Hopkins Both Expected To Play

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (ankle) and wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (hamstring) are both expected to make their returns in Week 13 against the Chicago Bears this Sunday, barring any setbacks, according to sources. Murray and Hopkins both have not played since they suffered injuries in Week 8, so there could be a rust factor […]

Chris Conley Out Sick Again Thursday

Houston Texans wide receiver Chris Conley (illness) is out with a non-COVID-19-related illness for the second straight day on Thursday. He joins Brandin Cooks and running back David Johnson as players dealing with illness this week. Danny Amendola (knee) could miss up to four weeks with a knee injury he suffered in last week's loss […]

David Johnson Absent From Another Practice

Houston Texans running back David Johnson (illness, thigh) remains out of practice for the second straight day this week on Thursday. There's a non-COVID-19-related illness going around the Texans locker room this week, with Johnson and wide receivers Brandin Cooks and Chris Conley also missing both practices. Also dealing with a thigh issue, Johnson will […]

Kristaps Porzingis Tagged As Questionable For Friday

Dallas Mavericks center Kristaps Porzingis (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. The All-Star center was able to play on Wednesday despite a questionable tag. However, it wouldn't be shocking to see the Mavs rest him on Friday. They always seem to be cautious with their players. That being […]

Brandin Cooks Missing Again Thursday

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks (illness) remains out of practice again on Thursday with a non-COVID-19-related illness. Cooks might need to get in a practice session on Friday in order to play in Week 13 against the Indianapolis Colts. Danny Amendola (knee) could miss up to four weeks with a knee injury he suffered […]

Jimmy Butler Could Miss Weekend Series

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (tailbone) is in danger of missing both Friday and Saturday's contests. The All-Star forward has missed each of the last two games while dealing with a tailbone issue. His absence has resulted in more playing time for Caleb Martin, Max Strus and Gabe Vincent. None of them are great fantasy […]

DeSean Jackson Not Doing Individual Drills Thursday

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver DeSean Jackson (calf), who was limited in practice on Wednesday with a calf injury, was not on the field on Thursday for individual drills. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport suggests that Jackson's calf injury isn't very serious, so the Raiders could just be giving him a breather before Friday's practice. But […]

Onyeka Okongwu Continues Making Progress

Atlanta Hawks forward Onyeka Okongwu (shoulder) has been doing more live work lately, according to head coach Nate McMillan. He is nearing a return after undergoing surgery to repair a torn right shoulder labrum in July. The organization will have Okongwu head to the G-League to get in some 5-on-5 reps. It's uncertain when Okongwu […]

No Sign Of Darren Waller Thursday

There was no sign of Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller (knee) at practice on Thursday. Waller has missed the team's first two practices of the week and was described as week-to-week by interim head coach Rich Bisaccia earlier this week, so Waller's fantasy managers should already be planning to be without him in […]

D'Andre Swift Not Expected To Play This Week

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift (shoulder), who has already missed two practices this week, isn't expected to play in Week 13 against the Minnesota Vikings and is feeling like a long shot for Week 14 as well. Swift fell hard on his right shoulder with a defender on him during the Thanksgiving game last […]

T.J. McConnell To Miss Significant Time

Indiana Pacers guard T.J. McConnell (wrist) is expected to miss significant time, according to head coach Rick Carlisle. The organization is still evaluating McConnell after he suffered a right wrist injury. Brad Wanamaker was asked to pick up the slack on Wednesday. He played 16 minutes, but that could possibly increase going forward. Regardless, Wanamaker […]

Brook Lopez Ruled Out Indefinitely

Milwaukee Bucks center Brook Lopez (back) is out for the foreseeable future. The veteran center underwent back surgery and remains without a timetable. This is a shame considering Lopez was reportedly ramping up his activities. At this point, Lopez is safe to drop in just about every fantasy format. DeMarcus Cousins should take over a […]

Christian Wood Avoids Serious Injury

Houston Rockets center Christian Wood (ankle) is not expected to miss significant time after suffering an injury. The organization doesn't believe Wood would miss much time, but his status for Friday's contest is uncertain. It wouldn't be shocking to see the Rockets play it safe and have Wood sit out at least one game. In […]

Lucas Raymond Continues To Have A Strong Rookie Campaign

Detroit Red Wings winger Lucas Raymond netted a goal Wednesday to defeat Seattle 4-3 in a shootout. The rookie forward has collected eight goals in nine contests. Raymond is responsible for ten markers and 12 helpers in 24 games for Detroit this year. He has 56 shots on goal, averaging over 17:00 minutes of ice […]

Kevin Porter Jr. Expected To Miss Time

Houston Rockets guard Kevin Porter Jr. (thigh) is expected to miss some time. He missed a few games in November due to a thigh contusion. It sounds like the team is taking the cautious approach and resting Porter for the time being. That being said, Jae'Sean Tate should gain the most value from the loss […]

J.J. Watt Has A Realistic Chance Of Returning

Arizona Cardinals defensive end J.J. Watt (shoulder) has resumed conditioning after tearing the labrum and rotator cuff in his shoulder, and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said on the Pat McAfee show that it's possible that Watt returns before the Super Bowl to help the Cardinals on a playoff run. The 32-year-old had what was believed […]

Jordan Howard Looking Unlikely For Week 13

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard (knee) missed another day of practice on Thursday and has yet to practice this week after missing the Week 12 loss to the New York Giants. A multi-week absence was never out of the question when Howard was injured in Week 11, so fantasy managers shouldn't have been expecting […]

Jackie Bradley Jr. Traded To The Red Sox

The Boston Red Sox traded outfielder Hunter Renfroe to the Milwaukee Brewers in exchange for outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr., minor-league infielders David Hamilton and Alex Binelas. Bradley Jr. returns to Boston, where he spent the first eight years of his MLB career (2013-2020). The 31-year-old is a phenomenal defender and is expected to be Boston's […]

No Boston Scott At Practice Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott (illness) missed his second straight practice of the week on Thursday with a non-COVID-19-related illness. A second straight practice has put Scott's status up in the air for the Week 13 game against the New York Jets. And with Jordan Howard (knee) unlikely to return this Sunday, Miles Sanders […]

Corey Davis Not Practicing Again Thursday

New York Jets wide receiver Corey Davis (groin) was absent from practice again on Thursday. Davis said on Wednesday that he's feeling better than he did last week, but that hasn't manifested itself yet on the practice field. With Davis missing last week's win over the Houston Texans, he's looking very questionable to play in […]

Seahawks Don't Think Russell Wilson Needs Rest

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said that he doesn't think quarterback Russell Wilson needs more rest but more repetitions. "He's ready to go. He doesn't need to be rested. He's not tired," Carroll said. Wilson underwent surgery to fix a ruptured tendon in his finger and hasn't been the same since his return from […]

Jordan Lyles Agrees With Orioles

The Baltimore Orioles and right-hander Jordan Lyles agreed to a one-year deal worth $7 million on Wednesday night, pending a physical. However, the deal is unlikely to become official until the new Collective Bargaining Agreement is completed. Lyles' deal could be worth $17 million if his 2023 option is picked up. The 31-year-old had a […]

Hunter Renfroe Traded To The Brewers

The Boston Red Sox traded outfielder Hunter Renfroe to the Milwaukee Brewers in exchange for outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr., minor-league infielders David Hamilton and Alex Binelas. Renfroe slashed .259/.315/.501 with 31 home runs and 96 RBI with a .816 OPS in 144 games for the Red Sox in 2021. The 29-year-old is expected to be […]

Fantasy Basketball Injury Updates for Week 7

While many of us were giving thanks, some guys were getting injured I guess. I've been traveling and I'm tired, the puns aren't so good right now so bear with me. We've got some good streams and high dreams in this week's version of the injury updates! Let's see where we can uncover some value. […]

Melvin Gordon III 50-50 To Play Sunday Night

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III (hip, shoulder) is 50-50 to play on Sunday night against the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs, according to head coach Vic Fangio. Gordon injured his hip on his first carry of the game in the Week 12 win over the Los Angeles Chargers, but he returned immediately and finished […]
