Raiders Trade Lynn Bowden Jr. To Dolphins

The Las Vegas Raiders have traded rookie running back Lynn Bowden Jr. and a sixth-round pick to the Miami Dolphins for a fourth-round pick. Vegas is set at running back with Josh Jacobs and solid backups like Jalen Richard and Devontae Booker, while the Dolphins have spent the past few seasons struggling with their running […]

Kwang Hyun Kim Lands On IL, Return For 2020 In Doubt

St. Louis Cardinals left-handed pitcher Kwang Hyun Kim was placed on the injured list prior to Saturday's doubleheader against the Cubs due to a kidney ailment that landed him in the hospital. Initially, the team is optimistic that the southpaw will be able to return in 2020, although a timeline is unclear at this stage. […]

Gleyber Torres Rejoins Starting Lineup Saturday

New York Yankees shortstop Gleyber Torres was activated off of the injured list prior to Saturday’s contest against the Orioles and left-hander Keegan Akin. Torres has been out since Aug. 20 due to a hamstring strain, but will rejoin the starting nine and reclaim his spot at short. After a tremendous offensive campaign in 2019, […]

San Diego Scratches Luis Campusano From Lineup Saturday

San Diego Padres catcher Luis Campusano has been scratched from Saturday’s starting nine against Oakland and left-hander Sean Manaea due to a sore left hand. Austin Nola will slide back behind the dish, allowing Jorge Mateo to enter the lineup as the DH. Campusano arrived in the big leagues with a home run Friday, showcasing […]

Deebo Samuel Activated From Non-Football Injury List

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel (foot) is being activated off the Non-Football Injury list, which would make him eligible to play in Week 1. There had been questions all offseason about how long it would be before Samuel was healthy and able to return to the field, and while he might not be […]

Keenan Allen Agrees To Extension

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen has agreed to a four-year extension worth over $80 million. The veteran receiver is set to be quarterback Tyrod Taylor's top option this year and then rookie quarterback Justin Herbert's top option for the next three seasons after this one. Allen remains one of the NFL's most consistent […]

49ers Waive Jauan Jennings

The San Francisco 49ers have waived seventh-round pick Jauan Jennings, a wide receiver out of Tennessee. Jennings was expected to compete for a roster spot on a team that lacks a standout wide receiver outside of Deebo Samuel, but now it looks like he'll be heading for a practice squad spot unless another team decides […]

Rodrigo Blankenship Wins Colts Kicker Job

Rookie kicker Rodrigo Blankenship has beaten out Chase McLaughlin in the competition to be the kicker for the Indianapolis Colts. McLaughlin reportedly had a strong camp, but Blankenship's college resume helped him win the role, leading to the team releasing McLaughlin. Blankenship was a career 82.5 percent kicker in college and made all 200 of […]

Chiefs Release DeAndre Washington

The Kansas City Chiefs have released running back DeAndre Washington. A former college teammate of quarterback Patrick Mahomes, Washington wasn't able to impress enough in camp to earn a spot in a backfield that has a lot of question marks behind rookie Clyde Edwards-Helaire. Darrel Williams enters 2020 as the primary backup here and is […]

Zach Davies Blanks A's For Seven Frames

San Diego Padres starter Zach Davies blanked the Oakland Athletics across seven frames Friday for his sixth victory. Davies was uncharacteristically wild, issuing four free passes, but minimized the damage with just four hits. He struck out five. The 27-year-old has been a surprising anchor in the Friars rotation, holding a crisp 2.23 ERA, 0.93 […]

Panthers Waive Reggie Bonnafon

The Carolina Panthers have waived running back Reggie Bonnafon. Expected by many to serve as the insurance policy for starter Christian McCaffrey, it looks like that role now belongs to Mike Davis. Because of the oversized role McCaffrey plays, there's no fantasy football value in this backfield as long as he's healthy, but Davis now […]

Luis Campusano Starting At Catcher After Strong Debut

San Diego Padres catcher Luis Campusano is starting behind the dish and batting seventh Saturday against the Oakland Athletics. Making his major league debut as designated hitter on Friday, the Friars No. 4 prospect went 1-for-3 with a solo homer, walk and two runs scored. Campusano was receiving glowing reviews at the alternate site so […]

Keston Hiura Notches Two Extra Base Hits In Win

Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Keston Hiura went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, a home run, two runs scored and three RBI in Friday's win over Cleveland. Hiura led the charge with an RBI double in the seventh. He added a two-run homer in the eighth, his third in his last four games and 10th […]

Corbin Burnes Strikes Out Seven In Win

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Corbin Burnes (2-0) was charged with one unearned run on three hits over six innings in a win over Cleveland on Friday. He struck out seven and issued two walks. Burnes has excelled since stepping into the starting rotation. He's been especially good over his last two starts; six hits, zero […]

Carlos Carrasco Strikes Out Seven In No Decision

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco allowed one run on six hits and three walks while striking out seven over six innings in a no-decision against the Brewers on Friday. It was a nice bounce back performance from Carrasco, who has struggled in the past few starts with consistency. Overall, Carrasco has a 3.43 ERA, […]

Patriots Release Lamar Miller

The New England Patriots have released running back Lamar Miller, ending his tenure in New England before he played a single regular season game. Miller was coming off a torn ACL last preseason. Miller's an interesting free agent if he's fully recovered from the injury, as he rushed for 973 yards in 2018 with the […]

Falcons Release Laquon Treadwell

The Atlanta Falcons have released wide receiver Laquon Treadwell. The former first-round pick's contract with the Vikings expired at the end of last season and signed with Atlanta in March. While he's never finished a season with more than 302 receiving yards, the fifth-year pro was expected by some to rebound in Atlanta on a […]

Washington Waives Trey Quinn

In a bit of surprise news, the Washington Football Team has waived wide receiver Trey Quinn. The third-year receiver had 26 catches for 198 yards and a touchdown last year, and while some thought he might step into a larger role in the slot in a depleted receiving corps, it appears someone else will have […]

Packers Waive Dexter Williams

The Green Bay Packers have waived running back Dexter Williams, a 2019 sixth-round pick for the team. After drafting A.J. Dillon this year, the Packers backfield was too crowded for both Jamaal Williams and Dexter Williams to have roles this year, so this move seems to indicate that Jamaal Williams will be the No. 3 […]

Taywan Taylor, Damion Ratley Among Cleveland Roster Cuts

The Cleveland Browns parted ways with wide receivers Taywan Taylor and Damion Ratley in roster cutdowns on Saturday morning. Taylor spent one season with the Browns after being drafted by the Tennessee Titans in the third round of the 2017 draft. He was a popular fantasy sleeper at one time but he was never able […]

Clarke Schmidt Pitches Poorly In MLB Debut

New York Yankees pitcher Clarke Schmidt allowed two runs on three hits and a walk over 1.2 innings of relief against the Orioles on Friday. Schmidt generated only two whiffs (both from his slider), and the frequent contact allowed the Orioles to do their damage. Schmidt’s unclear role with the team means that he can […]

Deivi Garcia Struggles On Friday

New York Yankees starting pitcher Deivi Garcia struggled on Friday, allowing four runs over 4.2 innings against the Orioles. Garcia’s performance under the hood was much more encouraging, though. Strikeouts weren’t an issue as he picked up six with a 13.7% swinging-strike rate, and he allowed a respectable four hard-hit balls (13 total batted balls). […]
