Jason Pierre-Paul Likely To Be Inactive In Week 3

Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Jason Pierre-Paul (shoulder) had a second opinion on his injured shoulder, and rest was the recommendation, according to a source. No final determination has been made, but it's unlikely that Pierre-Paul will play in Week 3 against the Los Angeles Rams. The 32-year-old veteran pass-rusher also missed practice on Wednesday. If […]

Daulton Varsho Heading To The Bench For Thursday's Game

Arizona Diamondbacks catcher/outfielder Daulton Varsho is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Atlanta Braves. The team is going with Carson Kelly behind the plate and Jake McCarthy in center field. Varsho has been a regular in the lineup over the second half of the year and he's strung together some decent […]

Colorado Rockies first baseman C.J. Cron went 4-for-5 with two doubles, two runs scored and an RBI in a 10-5 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday. Cron had himself another big day at the plate, collecting four hits, including two doubles. He drove in one run and scored two others as well. The […]

Texans Expected To Be Without Justin Reid

Houston Texans standout safety Justin Reid (knee) is expected to miss the Thursday night game against the Carolina Panthers due to a sprained knee that has kept him out of practice the last two days, according to league sources not authorized to speak publicly. Lonnie Johnson is expected to replace Reid in the starting lineup, […]

Ketel Marte Sitting Out On Thursday

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte is getting a breather on Thursday as the team takes on Charlie Morton and the Atlanta Braves. Josh VanMeter is drawing the start at second base and batting fifth in the game. Marte started the week off strong with a three-double game on Monday. He's slashing .273/.368/.485 over the […]

Darrell Henderson Jr. Misses Practice Wednesday

Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson Jr. (ribs) did not participate in practice on Wednesday. Henderson suffered a cartilage injury to his ribs in the Week 2 win over the Indianapolis Colts, and he should be seen as questionable for a Week 3 meeting with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 24-year-old has been pretty […]

Mac Jones A Low-End QB2 Versus Saints

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones has put together a fairly slow start to begin his NFL career. He has one passing touchdown and didn't surpass 200 yards against a horrendous Jets secondary in Week 2. His chances of throwing a touchdown won't get easier against the New Orleans Saints in Week 3. Last season, […]

Kolten Wong Good To Go On Thursday

Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Kolten Wong (hamstring) is slotted into his usual leadoff spot for Thursday's game against his former team, the St. Louis Cardinals. Wong was removed from Wednesday's game in the seventh inning due to hamstring tightness. Brewers manager Craig Counsell stated after the game that the team would take a cautious approach […]

Chris Sale Improves To 5-0 In Win Over Mets

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Chris Sale improved his record to 5-0 Wednesday, earning the win in a 12-5 victory over the New York Mets by allowing two runs on six hits and two walks in five innings. He struck out eight batters. Sale has looked to be in top form in his seven starts […]

German Marquez Coughs Up Five Runs On Wednesday

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher German Marquez took a no-decision on Wednesday when he allowed five runs on six hits with four walks and four strikeouts in a 10-5 win over the Dodgers. This wasn't a good start for Marquez, who lacked control and efficiency. He managed to make it through three-inning without allowing a run […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Not Worried About Brandon Aiyuk

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo isn't worried about wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk's slow start (one catch for six yards in two games) this season. "Honestly, he does a great job in practice every day. He brings it — right attitude, right mindset," Garoppolo said. "I think, honestly, it's just a matter of time. And […]

Jose Iglesias Scores Twice, Drives In Two Wednesday

Boston Red Sox infielder Jose Iglesias has taken command of the second base position, and he went 1-for-3 with a triple, a walk, two RBI, and two runs scored Wednesday against the New York Mets in a 12-5 win. Iglesias is playing every day at the keystone, although his value takes a hit batting ninth […]

Avisail Garcia Out Of The Lineup On Thursday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Avisail Garcia is absent from the starting lineup for Thursday's game against Adam Wainwright and the St. Louis Cardinals. Tyrone Taylor is getting the start in right field and batting sixth in the game. Garcia recently became eligible for a mutual option this offseason by hitting a required plate appearance threshold over […]

Kyle Schwarber Homers Twice In Monster Game

Boston Red Sox outfielder Kyle Schwarber posted a monster line in Wednesday's 12-5 victory over the New York Mets, going 3-for-5 with two homers, a double, four RBI, and four runs scored. Schwarber now has 31 homers on the year, and he's especially victimized the Mets, going deep nine times in his last 10 games […]

Brett Hundley An Option For Colts In Week 3?

Indianapolis Colts practice-squad quarterback Brett Hundley took the majority of the starter's repetitions in practice on Wednesday, and he and Jacob Eason could both see action in Week 3 against the Tennessee Titans with Carson Wentz (ankles) unlikely to be able to play. There is still hope that Wentz can play, but the Colts are […]

Tanner Rainey Earns First Save Wednesday

Washington Nationals relief pitcher Tanner Rainey earned his first save of the year Wednesday, setting down both batters he faced against the Miami Marlins. Rainey has made three appearances since being recalled from Triple-A Rochester, and he has not allowed a baserunner. He struck out all six he faced in the two outings prior to […]

Josiah Gray Earns First Career Win

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Josiah Gray earned the first win of his young career Wednesday, throwing six innings and allowing two runs on six hits and a walk against the Miami Marlins. He struck out eight batters. Gray has shown plenty of potential this year, but this start comes on the heels of four straight […]

Mike Gesicki Could See Uptick In Value

Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki produced zero receptions in the season opener, but he hauled in three passes last week. The young tight end was a focal point of their offense last season, so he should get his targets. Backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett is making the start versus the Las Vegas Raiders in Week […]

Colts Preparing As If Carson Wentz Won't Play

The Indianapolis Colts are approaching a big divisional game against the Tennessee Titans in Week 3 as if quarterback Carson Wentz (ankles) won't play after he sprained both of his ankles in the Week 2 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Wentz didn't practice on Wednesday, but more importantly, he didn't even take part in […]

Juan Soto Homers, Reaches Five Times

Washington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto reached base in all five of his plate appearances Wednesday, going 3-for-3 with a home run, a double, two walks (one intentional), three RBI, and two runs scored. Soto now has an eight-game hitting streak, and he's raised his OPS to 1.010 on the year to go with his 27 […]

Jaylen Waddle Could See Decreased Role

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle has seen at least five or more targets in each of the first two games this season. However, multiple things have changed over the course of a week. Backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett will draw the start versus the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 3. Also, wide receiver Will Fuller […]

Luis Garcia Hits Sixth Homer Against Athletics

Washington Nationals infielder Luis Garcia had two more hits Wednesday, going 2-for-5 with a solo home run and a double in a 4-1 win over the Oakland Athletics. He now has six homers for the season, three of which have come since September 9, and three multi-hit performances in a row. He's slashing .333/.333/.542 over […]

Amari Cooper Limited To Start The Week

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper (ribs) will be limited in practice on Thursday ahead of the team's Monday night meeting with the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 3. Cooper didn't miss many snaps in the Week 2 win over the Los Angeles Chargers, but he did suffer a bruised rib in the contest and had […]

Yadiel Hernandez Knocks Ninth Homer

Washington Nationals outfielder Yadiel Hernandez knocked his ninth home run of the year Wednesday, going 2-for-5 with the solo shot, a double, two RBI, and a run scored. Hernandez has played nearly every day since the trade deadline, and he's in a valuable lineup spot for RBI batting fifth behind Juan Soto and Josh Bell […]

Tyrell Williams Lands On Injured Reserve

The Detroit Lions placed wide receiver Tyrell Williams (concussion) on Injured Reserve on Thursday and placed kicker Austin Seibert on the COVID-19 list. They also officially signed inside linebacker Josh Woods from the Chicago Bears practice squad. Williams suffered a head injury in the season-opener and did not play in the Week 2 loss to […]

DeVante Parker A Low-End Flex Option For Week 3

Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker has seen 16 targets over the first two games of the season. He has been significantly involved in the gameplan, but that could change in Week 3. Backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett will be under center for this game against the Las Vegas Raiders. It's also worth noting that Will […]

Will Fuller Back To Practice

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Will Fuller (personal) was back on the practice field on Wednesday. This was expected after Fuller returned to the team facility on Monday. It looks very likely that Fuller is going to make his team debut in Week 3 versus the Las Vegas Raiders. Sadly, he'll face backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett […]

Jarred Kelenic Walks Twice, Steals A Base

Seattle Mariners outfielder Jarred Kelenic went 0-for-2 with two walks against the Oakland Athletics Wednesday, adding a stolen base. He now has six for the season. Though he still has a .606 OPS in 302 at-bats, he's started to turn his year around in a big way with a .269/.367/.673 slash line, five homers, and […]

Kyle Seager Homers, Reaches 100 RBI

Seattle Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager had a big day Wednesday against the Oakland Athletics, going 3-for-5 with a solo home run and a double. He now has 35 homers and 100 RBI this season, making him one of just five players to reach those marks thus far this year. He's slashing .379/.419/.655 over his […]

Malcolm Brown Unlikely To Be Trustworthy

Miami Dolphins running back Malcolm Brown was expected to have a significant role in this offense coming into the season. Thus far, Brown has disappointed and Myles Gaskin has been the clear No. 1 back in this offense. In Week 2, Brown saw just five touches in the blowout loss to the Buffalo Bills. Possibly, […]
