Jean Segura Sitting Out On Friday

Philadelphia Phillies second baseman Jean Segura (elbow) is not in the starting lineup for Game 1 of Friday's doubleheader with the Toronto Blue Jays.

Drew Lock Faces Tough Pittsburgh Defense In Week 2

Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock faces a stiff test in Week 2 on the road against the Steelers Defense. The 23-year-old second-year signal-caller had his ups and downs in the Week 1 Monday night loss to the Titans. His mobility and arm strength were on display, but he was hurt by some drops and overthrows […]

Jon Berti Plays Simulated Game Thursday

Miami Marlins shortstop Jon Berti (finger) played in a simulated game on Thursday and suffered no setbacks. The 30-year-old has been out of the lineup since Sept. 7 with a finger contusion.

Eugenio Suarez Back In Friday's Lineup

Cincinnati Reds third baseman Eugenio Suarez was activated off of the paternity list on Friday morning. He is starting at the hot corner and batting fourth against the Chicago White Sox. Suarez is carrying a lowly .206 average through 165 at-bats in 2020 but has redeemed himself with 13 homers and 30 RBI. He is […]

Khalil Mack, Robert Quinn Questionable For Bears Defense

Chicago Bears linebackers Khalil Mack (knee) and Robert Quinn (ankle) are both questionable to play in Week 2 against the Giants. Mack was also questionable for the season opener against the Lions, but he played and was quiet with just four combined tackles. Quinn missed Week 1 with Chicago after a big season with the […]

Harold Castro Returns To Lineup Friday

Detroit Tigers utilityman Harold Castro (hamstring) was activated off of the 10-day injured list on Friday. He is starting in right field and batting fifth against Zach Plesac and the Cleveland Indians. Castro's posted a .276 average across 29 at-bats in 2020, but he has non-existent fantasy appeal for the final weeks of the season. […]

Michael Thomas Not At Practice Friday

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle) was not present at practice on Friday for the second straight day. There were reports that Thomas "felt fantastic" at practice on Thursday, and there is a "glimmer of hope" that he can play in Week 2 on Monday night against the Raiders, but it's a long […]

Dexter Fowler Set To Return Next Week

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Dexter Fowler (illness) is on schedule to return to the team next week. He recently resumed baseball activities, as he has not appeared in a game since Sept. 1. Fowler was slashing .279/.347/.485 to go along with four homers and 14 RBI across 68 at-bats in 2020. He is a decent […]

Golden Tate Questionable Against Bears

New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Week 2 against the Bears. Tate sat out in Week 1 against the Steelers, but he was much more active in practice on Friday than he was last week.

Tampa Bay Lightning Advance To Stanley Cup Finals

The Tampa Bay Lightning have advanced to the 2020 Stanley Cup Finals with a 4-2 series victory against the New York Islanders in the Eastern Conference Finals held in Edmonton. The Lightning wrapped up the series with Anthony Cirelli's series-winning goal in overtime, helping the team make their first finals appearance since 2015. Defenseman Victor […]

James Conner Good To Go Against Broncos

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner (ankle) practiced in full the last two days and was taken off the Week 2 injury report.

Jay Bruce Activated Off Of Injured List

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Jay Bruce (quad) was activated off of the 10-day injured list on Friday afternoon. The 33-year-old has not appeared in a game since Sept. 5.

Mike Evans Removed From Week 2 Injury Report

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) practiced in full on Friday and was taken off the Week 2 injury report. Evans will be good to go against the division-rival Panthers. The 27-year-old should draw the coverage of cornerback Donte Jackson, but he's good enough to put up points, and he should be targeted […]

Dakota Hudson Likely Dealing With Flexor Issue

St. Louis Cardinals starter Dakota Hudson is likely dealing with a flexor issue in his arm, according to president of baseball operations John Mozeliak. Hudson left Thursday's start against the Pittsburgh Pirates after two innings due to elbow tightness.

Panthers Defense Without Kawann Short, Yetur Gross-Matos

The Carolina Panthers Defense has ruled out defensive tackle Kawann Short (foot) and rookie defensive end Yetur Gross-Matos (concussion) for Week 2 against the Buccaneers. A shaky Panthers defense that allowed over 30 points to the Raiders in Week 1 will be hoping that rookie defensive tackle Derrick Brown can step up against their division […]

Alex Wood Starting On Friday

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Alex Wood will start Friday's game against the Colorado Rockies. It will be another bullpen game for the Dodgers, as Wood will likely pitch two innings at most. The 29-year-old, who is now being utilized as a reliever, has only thrown 8 1/3 innings in 2020 due to shoulder inflammation. He […]

DeVante Parker Listed As Questionable For Week 2

Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Week 2 against the Bills. Parker is in line to be a game-time decision on Sunday morning, but fantasy managers will know well in advance of the early games whether Parker will be able to play. The 27-year-old was able to get in […]

Dylan Carlson Recalled By Cardinals

St. Louis Cardinals outfield prospect Dylan Carlson was recalled from the team's alternate training site on Friday afternoon.

Carlson slashed .162/.215/.243 during his first major-league stint, but he still has an elite ceiling. He will likely see […]

Jack Doyle Ruled Out For Week 2

Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich said that tight end Jack Doyle (ankle, knee) is out for Week 2 against the Vikings. Doyle missed practice all week and will give way to Mo Alie-Cox as the team's starting tight end with Trey Burton already on Injured Reserve. Alie-Cox is a low-end TE2 to begin with, […]

Mitch Garver Rejoins Twins In Chicago

Minnesota Twins catcher Mitch Garver (intercostal, groin) has rejoined the team during their current series against the Chicago White Sox.

Jorge Soler Takes Live At-Bats Thursday

Kansas City Royals designated hitter Jorge Soler (oblique) took live at-bats on Thursday without suffering any setbacks.

Dallas Cowboys left tackle Tyron Smith (neck) hasn't practiced all week due to a neck injury, and a decision will be made on his availability for Week 2 against the Falcons on Saturday.

Kenny Golladay To Be Very Limited Friday

Detroit Lions head coach Matt Patricia said that wide receiver Kenny Golladay (hamstring) will be "very limited" in practice on Friday.
