Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Nick Pivetta was at the top of his game against the New York Yankees Saturday as he gave up one run on three hits and no walks in 5 1/3 innings. He struck out seven batters and took a no-decision in the 5-3 loss. Pivetta does not have a quality […]

Boston Red Sox catcher Kevin Plawecki (foot) got the start behind the plate against the New York Yankees Saturday in place of Christian Vazquez and was one of the only bright spots for Boston, going 2-for-2 with a home run, a walk, and a hit-by-pitch.

Josh Harrison Collects RBI Single In Win Versus Houston

Oakland Athletics second baseman Josh Harrison went 1-for-5 with an RBI single in a win over the Astros on Saturday.

Andrew Chafin Earns Relief Win Saturday Versus 'Stros

Oakland Athletics relief pitcher Andrew Chafin made quick work of the Houston Astros in the top of the ninth, then earned his second win of the season when the A's walked off in the bottom half of the frame.

Matt Vierling Launches First Career Homer

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Matt Vierling hit the first home run of his Major League career in a win over the Pirates on Saturday.

Bryce Harper Blasts 34th Homer In Win Over Pirates

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in a win over Pittsburgh on Saturday. The homer was Harper's 34th of the season as he's now hit at least 34 bombs in the last three full MLB seasons (he hit 13 in the 60-game 2020 season). The homer was also Harper's […]

Ranger Suarez Twirls Complete Game Shutout Versus Bucs

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Ranger Suarez turned in his best effort of the season on Saturday as he threw a complete-game shutout versus the Pirates.

Carson Wentz Expected To Play In Week 3

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Carson Wentz (ankles) is expected to be active against the Titans in Week 3. He missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday but was upgraded to limited on Friday. Through two games this season, he has gone 45-for-69 with 498 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception. The Colts do have contingency plans in […]

Jacoby Brissett Heading For Extended Workload

Miami Dolphins quarterback Jacoby Brissett should fill the starting job for at least three weeks after Tua Tagovailoa (ribs) was placed on injured reserve. After relieving the latter in Week 2, the former completed 24 of 40 passes for 169 yards, zero touchdowns, and an interception. He's worth rostering in superflex leagues and is a […]

Kenny Golladay Expected To Suit Up In Week 3

New York Giants wide receiver Kenny Golladay (hip) is expected to play during Sunday's game against the Falcons. The team is reportedly "optimistic" regarding his status. Through two games this season, he has caught seven of 14 targets for 102 yards. Although the start to his tenure in New York has been disappointing, Golladay could […]

Evan Engram Expected To Play In Week 3

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram (calf) is trending in the right direction for Week 3. The team is confident that he'll be able to suit up against the Falcons on Sunday. The 27-year-old missed the first two weeks of the season, meaning this weekend's contest will represent his 2021 debut. Fellow veteran Kyle […]

Denzel Mims Not Expected To Play On Sunday

New York Jets wide receiver Denzel Mims is expected to be a healthy scratch against the Broncos on Sunday. The second-year player out of Baylor caught one pass for 40 yards in Week 1 but was inactive against the Patriots last week. The Jets reportedly still believe in Mims, though evidently he's not at the […]

Andy Dalton Could Return In Week 4

Chicago Bears quarterback Andy Dalton (knee) is not expected to be placed on injured reserve. In fact, the veteran signal-caller has a chance to return as soon as Week 4. This situation is truly perplexing as Dalton's injury seems like the perfect time to pass the torch to Justin Fields. Instead, the rookie will start […]

Brett Hundley Elevated To Active Roster

Indianapolis Colts practice squad quarterback Brett Hundley was elevated to the active roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Titans. When Carson Wentz (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday, Hundley took the majority of starting reps over Jacob Eason. As of now, the Colts' quarterback situation remains very much up in the air. Wentz is […]

Buddy Howell Promoted From Practice Squad

Los Angeles Rams running back Buddy Howell has been promoted to the active roster. Howell was a member of the team's practice squad after having spent his first three seasons with the Houston Texans. While he likely won't get much action against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the transaction possibly paints a more definite picture of […]

Davis Mills Praised By Head Coach

Houston Texans rookie quarterback Davis Mills drew praise from head coach David Culley for his performance against the Panthers on Thursday evening. Specifically, Culley spoke fondly of the Stanford product's ability during the two-minute drill. "When we went into our two-minute offense right before half, he did an excellent job of taking us down the […]

Kenny Stills Added To Active Roster For Week 3

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Kenny Stills was added to the active roster and will suit up for the upcoming matchup against the Patriots. With Tre'Quan Smith (hamstring) and Michael Thomas (ankle) listed as occupants on the injured reserve list, Stills will add much-needed depth and stability to a team sorely lacking options outside of […]

Antonio Brown Officially Out For Week 3

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown (illness) will not play in Week 3. The veteran had a positive COVID-19 diagnosis and didn't travel to Los Angeles with the team as a result. It's unfortunate news, primarily since Brown has been one of Tom Brady's favorite wideouts this season, currently ranked second on the team […]

Ameer Abdullah Added To Vikings' Roster

Minnesota Vikings running back Ameer Abdullah will be on the active roster for the Week 3 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. The veteran could get some chances out of the backfield, mostly on passing downs, if Dalvin Cook (ankle) can't suit up, with Alexander Mattison expected to do most of the heavy lifting in the […]

Kerryon Johnson Promoted To Active Roster

San Francisco 49ers running back Kerryon Johnson has been promoted to the active roster. Johnson had been a member of the practice squad for the last few weeks. However, with the injuries to Elijah Mitchell (shoulder) and JaMycal Hasty (ankle), the veteran may provide relief for Trey Sermon (concussion), who is anticipated to handle most […]

JaMycal Hasty Placed On Injured Reserve

San Francisco 49ers running back JaMycal Hasty (ankle) landed on injured reserve on Saturday evening. Hasty sustained a high-ankle sprain during the Niners Week 2 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles and will be on the shelf for at least the next three contests. With Elijah Mitchell (shoulder) also listed as doubtful for Sunday Night Football […]

Kris Bryant Not In Saturday's Lineup

San Francisco Giants third baseman Kris Bryant isn't in the starting lineup on Saturday for a matchup with the Colorado Rockies and right-hander Jon Gray.
