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 […]

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Touki Toussaint did not look his best during Thursday's game against the Colorado Rockies. He went three innings, six hits allowed, five runs (four earned) in the 6-5 victory. Toussaint was solid until the third inning where he had a complete meltdown. Despite that, he is posting a 4.19 ERA, 1.21 […]

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Carson Wentz was activated from the COVID-19 list and immediately returned to 11-on-11 drills.

Welcome back, RotoBallers, to another edition of my Counter-Strike: Global Offensive DFS picks. It was almost an all sweep kind of day until Gambit made a big comeback and won maps 2 and 3 and stole the game away from Liquid.

The hope is that Gray will be able to get back into the rotation after this simulated game. However, the team is going […]

Joc Pederson Gets Rest Day On Thursday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Joc Pederson (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Colorado Rockies.

Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies (knee) remains out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Colorado Rockies.

Sergio Romo Collects Second Save Of Season Thursday At Detroit

Oakland Athletics relief pitcher Sergio Romo pitched a scoreless ninth inning on Thursday to collect the save against the Tigers. It was Romo's second save of the series as Lou Trivino (back) has been sidelined with back spasms. Romo seems to be the closer-of-choice in Trivino's absence as the former Giant has been good in […]

Ian Kennedy Nails Down Save No. 22 Thursday At Washington

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Ian Kennedy pitched around a one-out single to collect his 22nd save of the season Thursday afternoon at the Nationals. It was a nice bounce-back effort by the veteran reliever after he suffered a blown save in his previous outing. Kennedy hasn't been great for the Phillies as he has a […]

Falcons Sign Wayne Gallman II

Free-agent running back Wayne Gallman II signed with the Atlanta Falcons Thursday. The team also released former fifth-round pick Qadree Ollison, who was expected to fill the backup role behind Mike Davis.

Kansas City Royals shortstop Adalberto Mondesi isn't in the lineup on Thursday for a matchup with the Cleveland Indians and right-handed starter Triston McKenzie.

Jed Lowrie Blasts Three-Run Bomb In Win At Detroit

Oakland Athletics second baseman Jed Lowrie went 1-for-2 with a three-run homer in a win over the Tigers on Thursday. Lowrie has been out of the lineup more often since the team acquired Josh Harrison at the trade deadline as Harrison, not Lowrie, has seen the bulk of the playing time at the keystone. Lowrie […]

Zach Ertz Wants To “Retire” With The Eagles

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz spoke to the public for the first time this season and claimed he wants to stay in Philadelphia.
