Trevor Lawrence To Be Limited In Rookie Minicamp

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence (shoulder), the No. 1 overall pick in this year's draft, will be limited in what he's asked to do in this weekend's rookie minicamp. He is doing well in his rehab from surgery on his non-throwing shoulder, so the Jaguars are just being extra cautious with their franchise signal-caller. It […]

Caleb Farley Signs Rookie Contract

The Tennessee Titans and cornerback Caleb Farley agreed on a four-year, $13.495 million fully guaranteed contract on Thursday. Farley underwent back surgery in March, which caused him to miss his Pro Day and fall to pick No. 22 overall in the first round of the draft. Doctors said that the 22-year-old should be ready for […]

The Denver Broncos signed free-agent right tackle Bobby Massie to a one-year, $4 million deal on Wednesday.

Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Ryan Yarbrough struck out four batters in 3 1/3 scoreless innings of work against the Yankees on Wednesday.

Anibal Sanchez Considered Fully Stretched Out

Free-agent veteran starting pitcher Anibal Sanchez threw 100 pitches in a bullpen session in West Palm Beach, Fla., and is considered fully stretched out as he searches for a job. The 37-year-old right-hander has thrown for scouts several times this spring, and he could be a nice addition for a team in need of a […]

Alejandro Kirk Hitting And Throwing

Toronto Blue Jays catcher Alejandro Kirk (hip) has been hitting off a tee and throwing, but running will be the biggest hurdle that he'll need to clear. It was announced a week ago that Kirk was expected to miss around six weeks with a left hip flexor strain. While the 22-year-old backstop still has a […]

Rafael Dolis, Anthony Castro Set For Bullpen Sessions

Toronto Blue Jays relief pitcher Rafael Dolis (calf) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Friday.

Julian Merryweather, Patrick Murphy Progressing

Toronto Blue Jays relief pitcher Julian Merryweather (oblique) has been playing loss toss, while reliever Patrick Murphy (shoulder) threw an 18-pitch bullpen session on Tuesday and will throw again later this week.

George Springer, Joe Panik Take Batting Practice

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (quadriceps) and infielder Joe Panik (calf) took batting practice in the cages on Wednesday. Springer will begin a running progression on Thursday. The 31-year-old outfielder has been a huge disappointment for fantasy managers, as he's played in just four games in his first season in Toronto while dealing with […]

Miguel Sano Sitting On Thursday

Minnesota Twins first/third baseman Miguel Sano is taking a seat on the bench for Thursday's game against the White Sox. Sano is not in the lineup for the second time in three games amidst a 3-for-21 slide with 11 strikeouts in May. The slugger is generally streaky at the dish, though it's concerning to see […]

Randy Arozarena Doubles In Loss Wednesday

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Randy Arozarena went 1-for-4 with a double in a 1-0 loss to the Yankees on Wednesday. Arozarena's double was one of four hits the Rays managed against Gerrit Cole and the Yankees, and one of only two extra-base hits for the team. After a solid start to the season in which […]

Hunter Harvey On The Verge Of Simulated Games

Baltimore Orioles relief pitcher Hunter Harvey (oblique) is working out and throwing in Sarasota, Fla., and he's on the verge of throwing in simulated games. Harvey landed on the 60-day injured list with a strained left oblique back in March, so he has yet to pitch this season. The 26-year-old right-handed reliever could return by […]

Andrelton Simmons Absent From Thursday's Lineup

Minnesota Twins shortstop Andrelton Simmons (ankle) is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest against the White Sox.

Jorge Polanco will get […]

Paul DeJong Out Of Thursday's Lineup

St. Louis Cardinals shortstop Paul DeJong (side) is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Brewers. DeJong had to leave Wednesday's contest with left side discomfort- and it will cost him a game Thursday. Manager Mike Shildt said that the team is still awaiting the results of his MRI, though it sounds like […]

Christian Yelich To Start Rehab Assignment Friday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich (back) is set to begin his rehab assignment with Triple-A Nashville on Friday. Yelich was able to take batting practice on Tuesday and was hitting homers- so he's certainly progressing well in his recovery from a back injury. Manager Craig Counsell said that his return date is still to be […]

Yadier Molina Gets Day Off Thursday

St. Louis Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest against the Brewers. Molina is getting a breather in the midst of an 0-for-8 stretch with three strikeouts in his last two games, though fantasy managers should be patient with the veteran backstop, who had compiled three hits and four RBI […]

Omar Narvaez Activated From Injured List Thursday

Milwaukee Brewers catcher Omar Narvaez (hamstring) was activated from the 10-day injured list on Thursday, as expected. Narvaez hasn't played since April 30- though his return was imminent after he was able to ramp up his activity well.

J.T. Realmuto Dealing With Non-COVID Illness

Philadelphia Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto (illness) did not test positive for COVID-19, though he is dealing with an illness.

Manager Joe Girardi noted that in any other year, the veteran catcher, who has a slight fever and a stomachache, would […]

Didi Gregorius Not In Thursday's Lineup

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Didi Gregorius (elbow) is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest against the Nationals. It's not entirely surprising, as Gregorius was forced to leave Wednesday's game with right elbow stiffness, and there was always a chance he could miss a couple of games. Nick Maton will start at short and bat eighth.

Jarred Kelenic Officially Called Up

Seattle Mariners outfielder Jarred Kelenic was officially called up from Triple-A Tacoma on Thursday, as expected. Kelenic, the number-four overall prospect per MLB Pipeline, hit .291 with 23 homers and 20 stolen bases in 500 plate appearances in 2019.
