Matt Manning Tagged For Eight Runs On Thursday

Mitch Keller Fires Six Scoreless Frames Thursday

Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Mitch Keller allowed six hits while striking out eight over six scoreless during Thursday's 6-5 loss to the Chicago Cubs.

Deeper Tight End Sleepers to Target

With two weeks until the start of the NFL season, many fantasy managers are moving from participating in best-ball leagues to starting to prepare for redraft and home leagues. However, that doesn't have to mean you give up on some of your favorite sleepers. I've been pretty consistent in arguing that the term sleeper is […]

Will Grier Claimed By The Cowboys

Quarterback Will Grier was claimed off waivers by the Cowboys. Grier, formerly of the Carolina Panthers, immediately enters the picture as the primary backup for starter Dak Prescott in Dallas. After somewhat surprisingly releasing presumed second string quarterback Garrett Gilbert earlier in the week, the Cowboys were left with just Cooper Rush in the quarterback […]

Miguel Rojas Leads Off With A Home Run

Miami Marlins shortstop Miguel Rojas led off Thursday's game with a solo home run. Rojas took the first pitch of the game and deposited it into the left field seats, giving the Marlins a quick 1-0 lead that wouldn't last too long.

Charlie Blackmon Swats A Grand Slam On Thursday

Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon went 2-for-4 with a grand slam and a strikeout in a 6-5 loss to the Atlanta Braves on Thursday. Blackmon came through in a major way for the Rockies when he swatted a grand slam off Touki Toussaint in the bottom of the third inning. He would add a single […]

Isan Diaz Continues To Be An Easy Out

Miami Marlins infielder Isan Diaz continued his season-long struggles in Thursday's game against the New York Mets. Diaz has played second and third base, both poorly, while hitting .187 with a .573 OPS. Those numbers are despite a recent hot streak. Diaz has seemingly played all season, but he did spend some time in Triple-A, […]

Chi Chi Gonzalez Gives Up Three Runs, Walks Four

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Chi Chi Gonzalez took a no-decision on Thursday when he allowed three runs on four hits with four walks and one strikeout over 3 2/3 innings in a 6-5 loss to the Atlanta Braves. Gonzalez had an inefficient outing on Thursday, issuing four walks and needing 79 pitches--43 strikes--to get through […]

Nick Folk Back With New England

New England Patriots kicker Nick Folk is back with the organization following being cut on Tuesday. The 36-year-old was released while the team finalized their 53-man roster. However, he was signed to the practice squad a day later. He has spent each of the last two seasons with the Patriots. Folk connected on 26-of-28 field […]

Sandy Alcantara Managed Out Of A Quality Start

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Sandy Alcantara suffered from poor managerial decisions from Don Mattingly once again in Thursday's start against the New York Mets. Alcantara had a quality start locked down, but was allowed to go back out for the seventh inning, facing the Mets order for a fourth time. Marlins manager Don Mattingly's utter […]

Malcolm Perry Claimed By Patriots

The New England Patriots have claimed wide receiver Malcolm Perry off waivers from the Miami Dolphins. The former seventh-round pick spent the entire 2020 season with Miami. He recorded nine receptions for 92 yards in nine games, so he was mainly a depth player. Perry could be an interesting slot option for New England. Bill […]

Daniel Brown Sticks With Jets

New York Jets tight end Daniel Brown isn't going anywhere and is back with the organization. The veteran tight end has snagged a practice squad spot to begin the season. Brown has spent each of the last two seasons as a member of the Jets. He has 44 catches, 420 yards and 2 TDs in […]

Jamison Crowder Considered Day-To-Day

New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder (groin) is currently considered day-to-day heading into Week 1 against the Carolina Panthers. The veteran wideout isn't currently practicing right now, but head coach Robert Saleh isn't concerned. The team should continue to give updates on Crowder over the next few days. Elijah Moore stands the gain the […]

Yency Almonte Serves Up Three Runs In Relief

Colorado Rockies reliever Yency Almonte took the loss on Thursday when he surrendered three runs on three hits over 1 1/3 innings of relief in a 6-5 loss to the Atlanta Braves. Chi Chi Gonzalez started this game and lasted 3 2/3 innings before handing the ball over to Almonte. The Rockies held a brief […]

Kahale Warring Snags Final Practice Squad Spot

Buffalo Bills tight end Kahale Warring was recently released by the New England Patriots and Indianapolis Colts. He hasn't stayed in one place for very long during camp, but has landed the final practice squad spot in Buffalo. The 6'5 tight end had three receptions for 35 yards during his limited time with the Houston […]

Adam Duvall Crushes Go-Ahead Homer

Atlanta Braves outfielder Adam Duvall played the hero during Thursday's game against the Colorado Rockies. He went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in the fifth inning to give the Braves the lead. Atlanta would hold on 6-5 and secure the win over the Colorado Rockies. That blast marked Duvall's 30th home run of the […]

Jorge Soler Blasts Homer On Thursday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Jorge Soler has looked like a completely different player since the end of July. He now has nine home runs in 29 games with the Braves. On Thursday, Soler went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and a single in the 6-5 win over the Colorado Rockies. The 29-year-old has found new […]
