Ty Johnson Not A Lock To Make 2020 Roster

Detroit Lions running back Ty Johnson won't be a guarantee to make the team's roster going into training camp, in the opinion of The Athletic's Chris Burke. Johnson, a sixth-round pick in 2019, ended his rookie season with 63 carries for 273 yards (4.3 yards per carry) and no touchdowns on the ground. The Lions […]

Rashaad Penny Making Progress In Rehab

Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny (knee), whose 2019 season ended in early December when he suffered a torn ACL, said he got back on an exercise bike earlier this week. The 24-year-old second-year back is ahead of schedule in his recovery, but he still might be a question mark to be ready for Week […]

Jets Unlikely To Re-Sign Robby Anderson

The New York Jets are highly unlikely to re-sign impending free-agent wide receiver Robby Anderson, according to league sources. Anderson is expected to receiver $13 to $15 million annually on a multi-year deal on the open market, but Gang Green would like to sign him for just $10 million annually.

Buccaneers Still Undecided On Jameis Winston

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said that the team remains undecided on whether to keep quarterback Jameis Winston or move on from the former first overall draft pick.

A.J. Bouye Could Be Released

Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback A.J. Bouye could be released this offseason to clear $11.4 million in salary cap space. Bouye has two interceptions the last two years, while Tre Herndon, who started opposite of Bouye when Jalen Ramsey was traded to the Rams, had three interceptions last season and will make $660,000 in 2020. Jacksonville could […]

Nick Foles A Candidate To Be Traded?

The Jacksonville Jaguars need to continue searching for a franchise quarterback. Rookie Gardner Minshew showed flashes in 2019, but he'll need to prove he's more than just a game manager in a larger sample size. The team could also seek to find a trade partner for Nick Foles, who flopped as a big free-agent acquisition […]

Will Jaguars Pick Up Leonard Fournette's Fifth-Year Option?

The Jacksonville Jaguars must decide this offseason if they will pick up running back Leonard Fournette's $10.1 million fifth-year option for 2021. It's an interesting decision because they are limited for salary cap space, so they could decline the option and wait to see how he performs in 2020 before considering a contract extension. The […]

Joey Votto Motivated To Bounce Back In 2020

Cincinnati Reds first baseman Joey Votto didn't pick up a bat at all during the winter after a disappointing 2019 campaign, but he also showed up more than a week early to camp, which is something he hasn't done in his 13-year career. The veteran first baseman had a career-low .768 OPS, well below his […]

Tucker Barnhart Gives Up Switch-Hitting

Cincinnati Reds catcher Tucker Barnhart will hit exclusively from the left side moving forward after switch-hitting his entire career. Barnhart, 29, batted exclusively from the left side over the final month of the 2019 season. He hit .231/.328/.380 with 11 home runs and 40 RBI in 114 total games last season, hitting .247 from the […]

Sonny Gray Feeling Normal This Spring

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Sonny Gray (elbow), who had right elbow surgery to remove bone chips in September, is feeling normal in spring training. Gray said he threw more than usual this offseason and feels great. The right-hander said he pitched with elbow stiffness for "multiple years," but he didn't miss a single start in […]

Spencer Howard Tweaks Knee During Workout

Philadelphia Phillies pitching prospect Spencer Howard (knee), the team's top pitching prospect, tweaked his right knee in a pre-camp workout last weekend, according to manager Joe Girardi. As a result, he has yet to throw a bullpen session in camp. A precautionary MRI exam showed that Howard doesn't have structural damage, and he continues to […]

Phillies Acquire Kyle Garlick From Dodgers

The Philadelphia Phillies acquired outfielder Kyle Garlick from the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday in exchange for pitcher Tyler Gilbert. Outfielder Nick Martini was designated for assignment by the Phils in a corresponding move. Garlick, 28, hit .250/.321/.521 with three homers and six RBI in 30 games in his first taste of the big leagues […]

Sergio Romo Has Minor Shoulder Strain

Minnesota Twins relief pitcher Sergio Romo (shoulder) will be limited in camp the next few days with "the most minor of minor left shoulder strains," according to manager Rocco Baldelli. Romo should be back on the field soon. The veteran reliever had a 3.43 ERA, 1.10 WHIP, 20 saves and 60 strikeouts in 60 1/3 […]

No Structural Damage For Miles Mikolas

An MRI exam on St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Miles Mikolas (forearm) on Saturday found no structural damage in his arm. The flexor tendon issues he's feeling this spring are similar to the soreness he felt last season. Mikolas will hold off on throwing for a few days and go from there on a day-to-day […]

Chris Sale Might Not Be Ready For Opening Day

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Chris Sale (illness) is dealing with a mild case of pneumonia in camp and "still doesn't have full strength back," according to manager Ron Roenicke. Sale is progressing and playing light catch, but the Red Sox acknowledged that he might not be up to speed by Opening Day, and they […]

Ty Buttrey Tweaks Intercostal Muscle

Los Angeles Angels relief pitcher Ty Buttrey (intercostal) tweaked an intercostal muscle and will be slowed down in camp for a couple of weeks. However, manager Joe Maddon still expects Buttrey to be ready for Opening Day. Relievers don't need as much time to get ramped up for the regular season, so Buttrey might not […]

Tony Watson Not The Official Closer

San Francisco Giants relief pitcher Tony Watson is the most experienced arm for the late innings with Will Smith now in Atlanta, but the Giants might start the year without naming a specific closer. New manager Gabe Kapler won't commit to using a traditional ninth-inning closer, but Watson should be seen as the favorite. He […]

Alex Verdugo Has Stress Fracture In Back

Boston Red Sox outfielder Alex Verdugo (back) is dealing with a stress fracture in his lower back and is now doubtful to be ready for Opening Day, according to manager Ron Roenicke. The team knew about Verdugo's injury before trading for him earlier this week. The youngster also missed the last two months of 2019 […]

Austin Dillon Could Make Fantasy Owners Happy

One name that should appear in a lot of fantasy lineups this week is Austin Dillon. Dillon has shown that he knows how to position himself for a top finish at superspeedways throughout his career. In 13 starts at Daytona, Dillon enjoys an average finish of ninth. The only driver with a better average finish […]

Victor Robles Being Considered for Leadoff Role

Washington Nationals outfielder Victor Robles is entering his second full season of play in 2020 with an opportunity to be the team's leadoff hitter. Robles is a speedster, which traditionally fits the role, but his .327 career OBP doesn't lend itself quite as well to the #1 spot in the order. But if he gets […]

Matt DiBenedetto Could Be Fantasy Steal

Matt DiBenedetto has become a fan favorite in recent years. DiBenedetto wears his emotions on his sleeve, and it has drawn a lot of fans his way, coupled with building success in cars that don't normally run toward the front. In 2020, however, DiBenedetto has been presented with an opportunity to showcase his talents in […]

Miles Bridges Grabs MVP in Rising Stars Game

Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges put on an impressive performance during Friday's Rising Stars Game. He scored 20 points with three 3-pointers during Team USA's 151-131 victory over Team World. Bridges was playing well before the break and it doesn't appear that he has lost a step. The Hornets will need Bridges to continue this […]

Zion Williamson Impresses in Rising Stars Game

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson was fun to watch during Friday's Rising Stars Game in Chicago. He unfortunately missed some monster dunks towards the end of the game, but finished with 14 points in 20 minutes. The fans did get to witness some nice alley-oops from teammate JA Morant. It was a small taste […]

RJ Barrett Drops 27 Points in Rising Stars Game

New York Knicks guard RJ Barrett put on a show for the fans during Friday's Rising Stars Game in Chicago. He led all players with 27 points in Team World's 151-131 loss to Team USA. Barrett has been banged up at times this season, so it's nice to see him healthy and showing off his […]

Pau Gasol Hopes to Play in 2020 Olympics

Darren Helm Scores Again On Saturday

Detroit Red Wings forward Darren Helm opened the scoring with a short-handed goal in Saturday's matchup against the Bruins, but the team failed to build on it and lost 4-1. Helm kicked off the week with a two-goal performance against Buffalo, so he seems to have found his scoring stick. He was on a 16-game […]

Wendell Carter Jr. is Feeling Better

Chicago Bulls center Wendell Carter Jr. (ankle) is hopeful that he can get back on the court after the All-Star break. He has been sidelined since Jan. 9 due to a right ankle sprain. The Bulls don't play again until February 20 versus the Charlotte Hornets. That gives Carter more time to prepare himself to […]
