Wil Myers Absent From Saturday’s Starting Lineup

San Diego Padres outfielder Wil Myers (quad) is not among the club’s starting nine Saturday versus San Francisco and right-hander Johnny Cueto. Myers exited Friday’s game due to quad tightness, paving the way for both Tommy Pham and Jurickson Profar to hold down outfield spots. Myers has had a career year in 2020, delivering a […]

Baltimore Anticipates Trey Mancini Could Return For 2021

Baltimore Orioles general manager Mike Elias stated Saturday that the club could see a path in which first baseman/outfielder Trey Mancini may be able to return as soon as Spring Training next year.

Trevor Rogers Heads To Bullpen For Wild Card Series

Miami Marlins left-handed pitcher Trevor Rogers will be shifted to the bullpen for the club’s Wild Card series, which begins Wednesday.

Jordan Zimmermann Makes Start Sunday, Tarik Skubal To Follow

Detroit Tigers right-handed pitcher Jordan Zimmermann will start Sunday’s season finale against Kansas City, making what is likely the final start of his tenure with the Tigers. Zimmermann had signed a $110 million deal with the club ahead of 2016, and injuries have firmly scuttled his career since then, having amassed a 5.65 ERA with […]

Josh Donaldson, Byron Buxton Absent From Saturday’s Lineup

Minnesota Twins third baseman Josh Donaldson (calf) and outfielder Byron Buxton (head) are not among the club’s starting nine for Saturday's contest versus Cincinnati and right-hander Luis Castillo.

Devin Singletary Has Good Upside In Week 3

Buffalo Bills running back Devin Singletary has been fairly average through the first two games of the regular season. He rushed 10 times for 56 yards in the victory over the Miami Dolphins in Week 2. He continues to split up the carries with rookie Zack Moss, which hurts his value. However, he'll get a […]

Josh Allen Faces Tough Challenge Versus Rams

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen has been fantastic through the first two weeks of the regular season. In Week 2, Allen threw for 415 passing yards with four touchdowns in the victory over the Miami Dolphins. However, he'll face a tougher battle against the Los Angeles Rams this week. The tough Rams secondary held quarterback […]

Devin Singletary To Operate As Lead Back In Week 3

Buffalo Bills running back Devin Singletary will operate as the team's lead back in Week 3 with rookie Zack Moss (toe) declared out for the contest against the Rams. That should open up at least 15 touches for Singletary against a Rams Defense that ranks 27th in rush DVOA. It's a great opportunity for the […]

Chargers Place Melvin Ingram On Injured Reserve

Los Angeles Chargers edge rusher Melvin Ingram (knee) was placed on the injured reserve on Saturday. The team will be without the services of Ingram- who has recorded at least seven sacks in each of the last five seasons- for the next three contests. It's certainly a downgrade for the Chargers' defensive unit as a […]

Josh Jacobs Questionable Against Patriots

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (hip) is listed as questionable for Week 3 against the Patriots. Tight end Darren Waller (knee) is also questionable.

Kyle Farmer Draws Start At Shortstop Saturday

Cincinnati Reds infielder Kyle Farmer will make the start at shortstop Saturday against Minnesota and right-hander Michael Pineda.

Sammy Watkins Questionable, Darrel Williams To Play

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins (concussion, neck) is questionable for Week 3 against the Ravens while running back Darrel Williams (ankle) will suit up. Watkins was able to practice in full on Saturday after getting in a limited session on Friday, so he's heading in the right direction. The veteran receiver is a […]

Andres Gimenez Departs Saturday’s Doubleheader Early

New York Mets infielder Andres Gimenez (undisclosed) exited the first game of Saturday’s doubleheader versus the Nationals after looking uncomfortable following a swing in his first at-bat. With just one day remaining in the 2020 regular season, any ailment may end Gimenez’s year. If his rookie campaign concludes, he will have slashed .265/.336/.402 with eight […]

Chidobe Awuzie Placed On Injured Reserve

Dallas Cowboys cornerback Chidobe Awuzie (hamstring) has been placed on the injured reserve by the team on Saturday. This means he'll miss the Cowboys' next three contests, which includes a big matchup against the Seahawks in Week 3.

Toronto Blue Jays right-handed pitcher Matt Shoemaker (undisclosed) has been removed as the club’s starting pitcher for Saturday’s contest versus Baltimore, with righty T.J. Zeuch tabbed in his stead. The start will mark the first of the year for Zeuch, who has made two relief appearances in 2020 and allowed two runs in 6 ⅓ […]

Desmond Trufant Ruled Out For Sunday

Detroit Lions cornerback Desmond Trufant (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals. Trufant was able to get in a couple limited sessions after not participating in Wednesday's practice, though it appears he is not quite ready yet. It's a blow to a Lions' pass defense that has surrendered five passing […]

Joey Bart Sits Saturday, Tyler Heineman Behind The Dish

San Francisco Giants catcher Joey Bart will take a seat Saturday versus San Diego and right-hander Zach Davies, ceding way to Tyler Heineman. Bart has been striking out in droves during his first exposure to big league pitching, having recorded at least one K in each of his last eight games. While he has posted […]
