Zach McKinstry Recalled From Minors

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder/outfielder Zach McKinstry has been recalled from the minors on Wednesday. He will add some additional position player flexibility down the stretch of the season. The 26-year-old got off to a red-hot start to the season, but has struggled as of late. Since his return in May, McKinstry is slashing .217/.265/.408 with […]

Tigers Activate Wily Peralta From The Injured List

The Detroit Tigers activated starting pitcher Wily Peralta (finger) from the 10-day injured list on Wednesday. Peralta has pitched to a 3.63 ERA, a 5.21 FIP, 39 strikeouts, and 23 walks in 62 innings this season. The high FIP and low strikeout numbers mean Peralta is likely only a streaming option in deeper leagues for […]

Xander Bogaerts Placed On COVID IL

Boston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts (COVID) was officially placed on the COVID-19 injured list on Wednesday. Bogaerts was removed during Tuesday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays due to a positive COVID test. The 28-year-old is now the eighth Red Sox player to be placed on the COVID reserve list over the last few […]

Brandon Lowe On The Bench Wednesday

Tampa Bay Rays second baseman Brandon Lowe isn't in the lineup on Wednesday for a matchup with the Boston Red Sox and left-handed starter Chris Sale. Lowe has arguably been Tampa Bay's best position player this season, batting .233 with a .336 on-base percentage, 31 home runs, and six stolen bases in 515 plate appearances. […]

Austin Meadows Out of Wednesday's Lineup

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Austin Meadows isn't starting on Wednesday. Tampa Bay will take on the Boston Red Sox and left-hander Chris Sale but will do so with one of their best hitters on the bench. Meadows is batting .234 with a .321 on-base percentage, 22 home runs, and three stolen bases in 514 plate […]

Ozzie Albies Out Of Braves Lineup On Wednesday

Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies (knee) is not in the lineup on Wednesday for the finale against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The 24-year-old exited Tuesday's 3-2 loss to LA after taking a foul tip off of his left knee. Since x-rays on the knee came back negative, it's fair to consider him day-to-day at […]

Niko Goodrum Activated From Injured List

The Detroit Tigers activated infielder Niko Goodrum (groin) from the 10-day injured list on Wednesday. The 29-year-old is batting .224 with a .304 on-base percentage, six home runs, and 12 stolen bases so far this season. Goodrum can certainly contribute with some stolen bases, but he's also striking out 35.4% of the time, which limits […]

Ryan Griffin Back With The Jets

New York Jets tight end Ryan Griffin was unable to make the final 53-man roster. He was cut by the team on Tuesday, but returned as a member of the practice squad on Wednesday. The Jets are without many options at tight end, so it wouldn't be shocking to see Griffin back on the field […]

James Morgan No Longer With Jets

New York Jets quarterback James Morgan was released by the organization on Tuesday. Both Morgan and veteran Josh Johnson were cut in order to finalize the 53-man roster. However, Johnson was brought back on the practice squad, but Morgan's time in New York is over. The former fourth-round pick will head to the Carolina Panthers […]

Shohei Ohtani Scheduled To Pitch On Friday

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher/designated hitter Shohei Ohtani (wrist) will get the start on Friday against the Texas Rangers, Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register reported. The 27-year-old phenom had to miss his scheduled start on Tuesday after being hit by a pitch over the weekend but threw a successful bullpen session on Wednesday […]

Mike White Wins Backup Job

New York Jets quarterback Mike White has won the backup job to start the regular season. An interesting move by the organization to cut both Josh Johnson and James Morgan on Tuesday. However, Johnson will return on the practice squad. Regardless, White has never attempted a pass in the regular season. The Jets are in […]

George Springer Back In Blue Jays Lineup On Wednesday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (knee) will be the designated hitter and bat leadoff on Wednesday against Matt Harvey and the Baltimore Orioles. The 31-year-old had to be removed as a precaution from Tuesday's game due to soreness in his injured knee, just one day after he was activated from the 10-day injured list. […]

Isaiah Zuber Doesn't Make Final Cut

New England Patriots wide receiver Isaiah Zuber was one of a handful of cuts during Tuesday's push to make a final 53-man roster. Zuber was cut alongside fellow wideout Kristian Wilkerson. However, the Pats have brought back Wilkerson, but on the practice squad. Zuber remains without a roster spot, but Wilkerson did outplay him during […]

Matt LaCosse Secures Practice Squad Spot

New England Patriots tight end Matt LaCosse was originally a victim of the final roster cuts on Tuesday. However, the organization has decided to bring back the veteran tight end, but on the practice squad. He will have to beat out Devin Asiasi if he wants a spot on the 53-man roster. Regardless, neither of […]

Kenta Maeda Undergoes Tommy John Surgery

Minnesota Twins pitcher Kenta Maeda (forearm) underwent Tommy John surgery, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reported on Wednesday. The 33-year-old right-hander exited his last outing on August 21 due to tightness in his right forearm. Maeda has reportedly had an internal brace placed in his right elbow, which is expected to cut down his recovery […]

Kristian Wilkerson Cut, But Returns To New England

New England Patriots wide receiver Kristian Wilkerson was originally cut by the team during Tuesday's push to finalize the 53-man roster. However, he is back with New England, but on their practice squad. Wilkerson was sharp during the preseason and is certainly worth a practice squad spot. He might even get a chance to play […]

Brian Hoyer Returns To Patriots

New England Patriots quarterback Brian Hoyer was released during a handful of cuts on Tuesday. However, he was only out of a job for a day as he's back on the Patriots roster heading into the regular season. Hoyer was signed to the practice squad on Wednesday, which at least gives them some depth. Jarrett […]

Quinn Nordin Wins Kicking Job

New England Patriots kicker Quinn Nordin will open the season as the team's kicker. The undrafted rookie kicker beat out veteran kicker Nick Folk in training camp. That led to Folk being cut on Tuesday, but he'll likely land elsewhere. Nordin was a 72.4 percent field goal kicker in the Big 10. He never finished […]

Gio Urshela Dealing With Sore Wrist

New York Yankees third baseman Gio Urshela (wrist) is not in Wednesday's lineup for the contest against the Angels due to a hand issue. Urshela fell on his hand/wrist after throwing to home plate during a double steal situation in Tuesday night's loss to the Angels. The veteran third baseman will get an MRI Thursday, […]

N'Keal Harry Placed On Injured Reserve

New England Patriots wide receiver N'Keal Harry (shoulder) has been placed on the injured reserve on Wednesday. He injured his shoulder in Week 2 of the preseason. Now, Harry is going to miss at least the first three weeks of the regular season. Jakobi Meyers and Nelson Agholor will remain as the starters and could […]

Athletics Recall Khris Davis From Triple-A

Oakland Athletics designated hitter Khris Davis was recalled by the A's and will be with the team for its game in Detroit on Wednesday. Davis is a fan-favorite in Oakland after blasting 40-plus homers every season from 2016-18, but he's fallen on hard times since the height of his powers. He hit just .200 with […]

Joe Ryan Called Up To Big Leagues, To Make Debut Wednesday

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Joe Ryan will be called up Wednesday as part of the team's September roster additions. Ryan, who came over to the Twins in the Nelson Cruz trade, will make his debut against the Cubs Wednesday. The 25-year-old Ryan has pitched to a 3.68 ERA with a 91:12 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 66 […]

Lorenzo Cain Crushes A Solo Home Run In Win Over Giants

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Lorenzo Cain went 2-for-4 with a home run and an additional RBI in a win over the Giants on Tuesday. Cain's second-inning solo blast gave Milwaukee a 3-0 lead, and he helped extended that margin with a run-scoring single in the third inning. The veteran outfielder registered his first multi-hit game since […]

Matt Chapman Batting Cleanup After Big Month Of August

Oakland Athletics third baseman Matt Chapman is batting cleanup versus the Tigers on Wednesday after posting his best month of the season in August. In the previous month, Chapman posted a team-high .964 OPS with nine homers, three more homers than he had in any other month this season. The gold-glover has had a rough […]

Brandon Woodruff Dominates The Giants To Earn Ninth Win

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Brandon Woodruff (9-7) earned the win over San Francisco on Tuesday, allowing one run on five hits and three walks while striking out eight over six innings. The right-hander threw 70 of 92 pitches for strikes and induced an astounding 19 swings and misses. The only run he allowed came off […]

Tony Romo Has High Praise For Zach Wilson

Former Dallas Cowboys quarterback and current NFL analyst Tony Romo had high praise for New York Jets rookie quarterback Zach Wilson. Romo said, "it won't be long before he is a top three-to-five quarterback." He added that he has Patrick Mahomes potential and that he will turn the New York Jets around. It appears Romo […]

Brian Flores All-In On Tua Tagovailoa

Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores has all the confidence in quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. With recent rumors that the Dolphins may have an interest in acquiring Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson, coach Flores has made it clear that Tua is the starting quarterback for Miami, and he is committed to the second-year passer being the starter […]
