New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston has emerged as the favorite to win the starting QB job after another strong showing in the preseason win over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Monday night.

The Seattle Seahawks acquired cornerback John Reid from the Houston Texans on Tuesday in exchange for a conditional seventh-round pick in 2023, according to a source.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Davion Davis has been suspended without pay for the first two games of the 2021 season by the NFL for violating the league's policy on substances of abuse.

The Jacksonville Jaguars officially placed first-round running back Travis Etienne (foot) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday after it was announced that he'll need season-ending surgery on a left mid-foot sprain that he suffered in the preseason game on Monday night against the New Orleans Saints.

New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor (oblique) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. He has been sidelined since July 16 due to a Grade 2 oblique strain.

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton (hand) will play full rehab games on Tuesday and Wednesday. He is currently rehabbing a hand injury, but could be back on the active roster soon.

Jacob deGrom Scheduled For Follow-Up MRI

New York Mets starting pitcher Jacob deGrom (elbow) is scheduled for a follow-up MRI on Wednesday. The right-hander has been basically shutdown since July due to a lingering elbow issue.

Anthony DeSclafani Could Return This Weekend

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Anthony DeSclafani (ankle) could return to the starting rotation by the end of the week. He suffered an ankle injury last Wednesday, but it doesn't appear to be too serious. The 31-year-old right-hander boasts a 3.26 ERA, 1.085 WHIP, and 123/36 K/BB ratio in 132 2/3 innings.

Pierce Johnson Opening Tuesday Against Dodgers

San Diego Padres reliever Pierce Johnson will open Tuesday against the Los Angeles Dodgers. In 48 appearances this season, the right-hander has gone past one frame just once, so he'll likely be followed by some combination of relievers Craig Stammen, Miguel Diaz, Reiss Knehr and Nabil Crismatt. The 30-year-old Johnson has been serviceable out of […]

Tyler O'Neill Scratched On Tuesday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill (undisclosed) has been scratched from Tuesday's starting lineup against the Detroit Tigers.

Jaime Barria To Start Thursday

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Jaime Barria will start Thursday's game against the Baltimore Orioles, according to Sam Blum of The Athletic.

Trent Grisham Out Of Tuesday's Lineup

San Diego Padres outfielder Trent Grisham is out of Tuesday's lineup against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Without a multi-hit game since August 10, the 24-year-old will ride the bench against southpaw Julio Urias with shortstop/outfielder Fernando Tatis Jr. manning center field. Grisham has been a steady OF3 fantasy contributor despite missing significant time with leg […]

Freddy Peralta To Throw Off The Mound

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Freddy Peralta (shoulder) is expected to throw off the mound later this week. He landed on the injured list last Thursday, but appears to be making solid progress. The hope is that the 25-year-old will be able to return to the rotation by the end of the week. However, Peralta needs […]

Justin Upton Sitting Out Against Orioles On Tuesday

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Justin Upton (calf) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Baltimore Orioles.

Caleb Smith Hit With 10-Game Suspension

Arizona Diamondbacks left-hander Caleb Smith received a 10-game foreign-substance suspension on Tuesday after he was ejected from his start against the Philadelphia Phillies last Wednesday after he was suspected of having foreign substances on his glove.

Chris Bassitt Undergoes Successful Surgery

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Chris Bassitt (face) underwent successful facial surgery on Tuesday in Chicago.

Matthew Stafford Wants To Stay With Rams Long Term

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford said he hopes to keep improving the Rams offense for the next five to 10 years.

Si Woo Kim's Guessing Game Continues At BMW Championship

Si Woo Kim missed the cut last week after nearly winning the Wyndham Championship the week before. There was a string of outside the top-30 finishes before that.

Russell Henley Could Be An Upside Surprise

Russell Henley forgot how to play the Jersey City golf course last week. In Rounds 1 and 4, he looked every bit a contender. So, how does that even translate for this week? If he starts well, do not expect the same mistakes again. Four birdies over the final seven holes showed that potential. If […]
