David Peterson Close To Getting Back On A Mound

New York Mets left-hander David Peterson (oblique) is close to getting back on a mound as he recovers from a severe right oblique strain that he suffered near the end of June. It's good progress, but Peterson is still at least several weeks away from a return to the Mets. Given how decimated New York's […]

Do Not Be Deceived by Cameron Tringale's Numbers

Cameron Tringale is a fine player that checks a lot of boxes statistically. He dominates in easy scoring conditions, putts well on Bent-grass greens, and he finished third at TPC Twin Cities last year. The issue with Tringale is two-fold. Firstly, his price never reflects his upside. The Georgia Tech product has never won on […]

Huascar Ynoa Getting Closer To A Return

Atlanta Braves right-hander Huascar Ynoa (hand), who has been on the injured list the last two months with a broken hand, is scheduled to throw live batting practice this week and is on track to pitch in a game in the Florida Complex League next week. Ynoa had a really nice 3.02 ERA, 1.05 WHIP […]

Travis d'Arnaud Has Made Big Improvements

Atlanta Braves catcher Travis d'Arnaud (thumb) has made big strides in his rehab lately and will accompany the team on the road to do some hitting and other early work before games.

Alex Avila Catching A Bullpen Tuesday

Washington Nationals catcher Alex Avila (calves) is scheduled to catch a bullpen session on Tuesday. Avila has been on the injured list with strains in both of his calves, but this is a promising step in the right direction. With both Avila and Yan Gomes currently on the shelf, the Nationals have been mostly using […]

Michael Fulmer Throws Another Bullpen

Detroit Tigers right-hander Michael Fulmer (spine) threw a hard bullpen session on Tuesday. If he responds well, he could start a minor league rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo this weekend. Fulmer is making good progress from a cervical spine strain, and he's currently on track to return early next month, barring a setback. The 28-year-old […]

Stephen Strasburg Throws Long Toss Tuesday

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Stephen Strasburg (neck) threw long toss from 300 feet on Tuesday, just one day after he threw off a mound. Manager Dave Martinez said the team will try to get Strasburg another bullpen session on Thursday or Friday. It's a great sign of Strasburg's progress, and we should have a better […]

Charlie Morton To Receive A Little Extra Rest

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Charlie Morton will no longer pitch in the second game of the team's doubleheader on Wednesday against the San Diego Padres, with Bryse Wilson going instead in the nightcap.

Evan Engram Entering Final Year Of Rookie Deal

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram finished as the TE18 in 2020 despite being targeted 109 times. The 26-year-old was fourth among all tight ends in targets and had 22% of the team's target share.

Zach Eflin Going On The Injured List

The Philadelphia Phillies are placing starting pitcher Zach Eflin (knee) on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday with right patellar tendinitis.

Toronto Blue Jays general manager Ross Atkins said that right-hander Nate Pearson's (hernia) injury issues have been related to a sports hernia.

Jacob deGrom Reportedly Improving

According to New York Mets manager Luis Rojas, starting pitcher Jacob deGrom (elbow) is improving and there is optimism that his stint on the injured list will not be prolonged. Rojas' statement comes after it was revealed earlier on Tuesday that deGrom has returned to New York for further evaluation on his right forearm. An […]

Luke Voit A Few Days Away From Resuming Baseball Activities

New York Yankees first baseman Luke Voit (knee) is a few days away from resuming baseball activities, per Pete Caldera of the Bergen Record.

Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman John Nogowski went 0-for-3 on Monday night, but extended his on-base streak to five games with a two-out walk in the seventh inning of a 4-2 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Asher Wojciechowski Slated To Start Wednesday

New York Yankees pitcher Asher Wojciechowski is expected to be called up Wednesday to make a spot start against the Philadelphia Phillies. Wojciechowski excelled in his most recent outing at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, pitching four innings of one-run ball with seven strikeouts and no walks. The 32-year-old has largely been ineffective for the RailRiders this season […]

Bryan Reynolds Stays Hot With Two Hits In Loss

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds finished 2-for-5 with one RBI in a 4-2 loss to the Diamondbacks on Monday night. Reynolds has been one of the hottest hitters in the game recently, as he's slashing .321/.406/.536 with two homers, six RBI and six runs scored over his last seven games. That's helped bring his season […]

Ke'Bryan Hayes Singles Twice In Loss Monday

Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes went 2-for-5 with one RBI in a 4-2 loss to the Diamondbacks on Monday night. While he's not providing a lot of power right now, he's still getting on base at a good clip as he's slashing .275/.351/.431 over his last 15 games, while recording one home run, four […]

Jonathan Loaisiga Could Return Next Weekend

New York Yankees relief pitcher Jonathan Loaisiga could return to the team next week. Loaisiga tested positive for COVID-19 and was placed on the COVID injured list but appears close to being back in the New York bullpen. The 26-year-old has been an unsung hero for the Yankees, recording seven wins, 11 holds, and two […]

Kevin Newman Remains Ice-Cold At The Plate

Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop Kevin Newman went 0-for-5 with a strikeout and a run scored in a 4-2 loss to the Diamondbacks on Monday night. It seems that Newman left his bat behind in Spring Training this year, as he is slashing .208/.248/.268 over 87 games after hitting over .600 back in March. The frustrating part […]

Bryse Wilson Starting On Wednesday

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Bryse Wilson will take the mound on Wednesday in the second game of the team's doubleheader against the San Diego Padres. Wilson has pitched to a 5.34 ERA and a 5.75 FIP in six starts spanning 28 2/3 innings this season. He has struck out 19 batters and walked seven during […]

Mike Gesicki Could Have Decreased Role

Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki has put together two straight campaigns with 50-plus receptions. He has pushed himself into the top 10 TE conversation for fantasy leagues. However, the additions of Jaylen Waddle and Will Fuller could hinder Gesicki's value. Last season, quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was not aggressive and often times dumped the ball […]

Darren O'Day To Have Season-Ending Surgery Wednesday

New York Yankees relief pitcher Darren O'Day (hamstring) will have season-ending surgery to repair a left hamstring injury.

Zac Lowther On Minor League Injured List

Baltimore Orioles left-hander Zac Lowther (shoulder) is on the injured list at Triple-A Norfolk with a strained left shoulder. Lowther allowed five runs on four hits (two home runs) in just one-third of an inning in his most recent outing for Norfolk, and his shoulder injury likely played a big part in that meltdown. The […]

Myles Gaskin Is A Worthy RB2

Miami Dolphins running back Myles Gaskin seemingly came out of nowhere and took the lead-back job last season. In 11 games, Gaskin finished with 584 rushing yards and three touchdowns with 41 receptions, 388 yards and two scores through the air. The dual-threat back appears to be the favorite for the lead-back job heading into […]

Tua Tagovailoa Needs To Step It Up

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was not as reliable as the team had hoped during his rookie campaign. He was often times benched for veteran quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick during important situations. Tagovailoa didn't turn the ball over frequently, but he seemed scared or unable to throw the deep ball. A season later, the Dolphins acquired […]

Davis Wendzel Out At Least Two Weeks With Wrist Sprain

Texas Rangers third baseman Davis Wendzel (wrist) will be out at least two weeks with a left wrist sprain. It's the same wrist that he suffered a hamate injury to, but it's not the same injury. The Rangers hope Wendzel can begin baseball activities by the middle of next week. The team's No. 8 prospect, […]

Josh Bell Isn't In Tuesday's Lineup

Washington Nationals first baseman Josh Bell isn't in the team's lineup for a Tuesday matchup with the Miami Marlins and left-handed starter Trevor Rogers. Bell is batting .249 with a .310 on-base percentage and 13 home runs in 290 plate appearances this season. It'll be Ryan Zimmerman who gets the start against Rogers on Tuesday. […]
