Willians Astudillo Optioned To Alternate Training Site

Minnesota Twins catcher Willians Astudillo was optioned to the team's alternate training site on Friday evening. The transaction coincides with Mitch Garver's (intercostal, groin) return from the injured list. Astudillo is a fan favorite, but he provides little in the way of fantasy production. Garver will likely see the majority of the playing time behind […]

A.J. Puk Should Be Ready For Spring Training

Oakland Athletics reliever A.J. Puk (shoulder) is expected to be fully recovered from his recent surgery by the time spring training rolls around.

Washington Nationals starter Erick Fedde allowed one hit across six scoreless innings during Game 1 of the team's doubleheader versus the Miami Marlins. He struck out six batters while issuing two walks. Fedde's record improved to 2-3 with the victory to go along with a 4.36 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 23/21 K/BB. His lack of […]

Colby Covington Has A Chance To Get Back Into Title Contention

Colby Covington (15-2) last competed in December of 2019, where he was defeated by the reigning champion Karmaru Usman. Covington is finally scheduled to face off with Tyron Woodley, which is a grudge match in the making for years now. It's no surprise that both of these competitors will want to utilize their wrestling game. […]

Nick Pivetta May Make Red Sox Debut Tuesday

Boston Red Sox pitcher Nick Pivetta could make his team debut on Tuesday against the Baltimore Orioles, according to Alex Speier of the Boston Globe. When manager Ron Roenicke was asked whether or not Pivetta would start on Tuesday, he responded by saying, "you guys have it figured out pretty good." If Pivetta does take […]

Chase Elliott Starting Sixth At Bristol

Hendrick Motorsports driver Chase Elliott will start from the sixth position in Saturday night's Bass Pro Shops/NRA Night Race at Bristol Motor Speedway.

Marcus Semien Looks To Continue Hot Streak

Oakland Athletics shortstop Marcus Semien has started to heat up at the plate over the past week. The 30-year-old is slashing .292/.393/.625 with two homers, 11 RBI, and a stolen base across his last seven games. Semien has not fully replicated his breakout 2019 campaign, as owns a .229 average across 179 at-bats in 2020, […]

Niko Price Has A Huge Chance To Rebound

Not many fighters are given the co-main event spot after a defeat, but Niko Price (14-3) is one of the few lucky fighters. Is high-pace fighting style is a fan favorite, and this will no doubt be a showdown with UFC legend Donald Cerrone. The Hybrid has finished 13 of his 14 victories, with 10 […]

Tommy Pham Activated From Injured List

San Diego Padres outfielder Tommy Pham (hand) was activated from the injured list Friday. He’ll start at designated hitter and bat sixth against Seattle Mariners left-hander Yusei Kikuchi. Pham missed about a month with a broken left hand and his return is a welcome addition to the Friars powerhouse offense. The 32-year-old holds just a […]

La'Mical Perine Questionable To Make NFL Debut

New York Jets rookie running back La'Mical Perine (ankle) is questionable to face the 49ers in Week 2. Perine was limited in practice the last two days, so he has a real chance to make his NFL debut after he was inactive in the season-opener. The Jets could really use some depth with Le'Veon Bell […]

Ketel Marte Scheduled To Take Batting Practice Sunday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Ketel Marte (wrist) will take batting practice on Sunday. The 26-year-old has not appeared in a game since Sept. 8. If things go well, Marte could return before the end of the season, but there is no rush as the Diamondbacks are firmly out of the playoff race. If he does come […]

All-Time Wins Leader Donald Cerrone Set For Co-Main Event

The UFC's all-time wins leader, Donald Cerrone (36-15), will enter the Octagon on Saturday looking for victory No. 24 in the co-main event. Cerrone will also become tied with Jim Miller for most-ever UFC appearances at 36. Cowboy is ranked in nearly every important statistical category the UFC has listed. Tied for the most finishes […]

Jesus Luzardo Sees Next Start Moved Up To Saturday

Oakland Athletics pitcher Jesus Luzardo will move up to start Saturday’s game against the San Francisco Giants. Luzardo was scheduled to pitch on Sunday, but for some reason, the team decided to change their rotation. Frankie Montas just returned from the paternity list, so perhaps they want to give him an extra day of rest […]

Dee Ford Questionable For 49ers Defense

San Francisco 49ers defensive end Dee Ford (neck) is listed as questionable for Week 2 against the Jets. Ford didn't practice the last two days after dealing with some neck stiffness following the season-opening loss to the Cardinals. San Francisco placed cornerback Richard Sherman on the Injured Reserve this week, so they won't be at […]

Jake Odorizzi Headed To Injured List

Minnesota Twins starter Jake Odorizzi (finger) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Friday evening. He had just returned to the team on Sept. 16 after dealing with a chest contusion, but now a blister on his throwing hand derailed him again. This all but ends his regular season, as the Twins are now […]

Alex Verdugo Leaves Friday's Game With Apparent Injury

Boston Red Sox outfielder Alex Verdugo left Friday’s game in the third inning after appearing to injure his hamstring while running to third base. He immediately went down the tunnel with a Red Sox trainer following him. Tzu-Wei Lin entered the game as Verdugo’s replacement. More will be known about Verdugo’s status following the game.

Brandon McManus Looking For First Field-Goal Attempt

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus didn't attempt a single field goal in the 16-14 Week 1 loss to the Titans, but he did make both of his extra-point tries. McManus has a very strong leg and kicks half the time in high altitude, but he'll be on the road this week and just can't be […]

Broncos Defense Faces Stiff Test On The Road

The Denver Broncos won't have any rowdy fans to worry about on their trip to Pittsburgh in Week 2, but a healthy quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and his cast of weapons will pose a big challenge to a defense missing Von Miller (ankle) for the year and cornerback A.J. Bouye (shoulder) for at least three weeks. […]

Noah Fant Could Pace The Passing Game Yet Again

Denver Broncos tight end Noah Fant caught five of his six targets for 81 yards and a touchdown in the Week 1 loss to the Titans, leading the team in receiving yards with Courtland Sutton (shoulder) inactive. Sutton is questionable heading into Week 2 against the Steelers, so Fant could once again be the team's […]

Jerry Jeudy Will Look To Build On His First Performance

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Jerry Jeudy showed off some of his trademark route-running ability and quick feet in the team's Week 1 loss to the Titans, but he also had a couple uncharacteristic drops in his NFL debut. The 21-year-old from Alabama caught only four of his eight targets for 56 yards as the […]

Royce Freeman Will Spell Melvin Gordon In Week 2

Denver Broncos running back Royce Freeman will be the primary backup to Melvin Gordon in the team's Week 2 matchup against the Steelers after Denver ruled Phillip Lindsay (toe) out for the week. Freeman won't have any standalone fantasy value, though, after he saw just two touches -- a carry for no gain and a […]

Brad Keselowski On Pole, Looking To Sweep At Bristol

Penske Racing's Brad Keselowski will start from the pole position in Saturday night's Bass Pro Shops/NRA Night Race at Bristol Motor Speedway. Keselowski collected his fourth victory of the 2020 Cup season, last week at Richmond, and will look to sweep Bristol after winning from the pole in May. In that race, Keselowski led 115 […]

Sixto Sanchez Struggles For The First Time In His Career

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Sixto Sanchez struggled for the first time in his big league career in Game 1 of Friday's doubleheader. He lasted just four innings, allowing five runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out two. For the first time since being called up, Sanchez looked human. There's no cause for […]

Roman Quinn Swipes 10th Base Of 2020

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Roman Quinn went 0-for-3 with a walk, a run scored, and a stolen base in a win over the Blue Jays Friday. Quinn has one skill that is useful to fantasy owners and he has flashed it this season. The speedy centerfielder has 10 steals in 34 games this season without being […]

Zach Eflin Goes The Distance In First Leg Of Doubleheader

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Zach Eflin threw a seven-inning complete game shutout versus the Blue Jays in the first game of Friday's doubleheader. Eflin allowed four hits and two walks while striking out nine in his best start of the season. Despite the dominant effort, fantasy managers shouldn't rush out to add the right-hander. Eflin […]

Eagles Visiting With Devonta Freeman

The Philadelphia Eagles are having free-agent running back Devonta Freeman in for a visit on Friday, according to the league transaction wire. It doesn't sound like a signing is imminent, but it's worth watching after lead-back Miles Sanders missed the season opener with an injury. Sanders says he's fully healthy heading into Week 2 against […]

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods received a four-year, $68 million extension on Friday with $32 million guaranteed, according to a source.
