Miguel Sano, Eddie Rosario Absent From Monday’s Lineup

Minnesota Twins first baseman/designated hitter Miguel Sano is not among the club’s starting nine for Monday’s contest against the White Sox as he battles neck stiffness. Manager Rocco Baldelli said that Sano could be available off the bench if needed, but LaMonte Wade Jr. will hold down first base and bat fifth Monday versus righty […]

Anthony McFarland Jr. Inactive For Week 1

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Anthony McFarland Jr. will be inactive for his team's Week 1 contest against the New York Giants. Without McFarland available, the Steelers will rely on the same three running backs they did last year with James Conner, Benny Snell, and Jaylen Samuels. Conner should be considered the lead back here by […]

Jeremy McNichols Promoted From Practice Squad

With Darrynton Evans out, the Tennessee Titans have promoted running back Jeremy McNichols from their practice squad. He'll be available on Monday night against the Broncos, but McNichols shouldn't be on anyone's fantasy radar. This is Derrick Henry's backfield, and while Evans is a candidate to spell him at times, the combination of McNichols and […]

Nick Kwiatkoski Could Miss Some Time

Las Vegas Raiders linebacker Nick Kwiatkoski's (pectoral) MRI exam confirmed that he didn't suffer a torn pectoral muscle in the Week 1 win over the Panthers, according to a source. He could still miss time, but the injury isn't as severe as it initially looked, and the Raiders are in the process of determining his […]

Golden Tate Inactive Against Steelers

New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate (hamstring) won't play on Monday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers. With Tate out, expect to see a ton of Darius Slayton and Sterling Shepard at wide receiver. Both players are solid fantasy options in this contest, though it's unlikely that a fantasy manager who was planning to start […]

Gio Urshela To Be Activated Tuesday

New York Yankees third baseman Gio Urshela (elbow) remains on schedule to be activated on Tuesday, according to manager Aaron Boone. Urshela has been able to take on-field batting practices and workouts without any setbacks. The 28-year-old has been out of the lineup since Sept. 3, but he was enjoying a productive season up until […]

Austin Hays Returns To Lineup Monday

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Austin Hays (rib) was activated off of the 10-day injured list on Monday afternoon. He is also back in the starting lineup for the first time since August 14 after dealing with a non-displaced rib fracture. The 25-year-old was in the midst of a disappointing season before being sidelined, posting a .519 […]

Thomas Eshelman Scheduled To Start Tuesday

Baltimore Orioles pitcher Thomas Eshelman is scheduled to start Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Braves. The 26-year-old has posted a 3-0 record to go along with a 3.96 ERA, 1.08 WHIP, and 11/8 K/BB rate across 25 innings this season. Nevertheless, it is tough to trust even the best pitchers against the Braves offense, let […]

Sonny Gray Hopes To Return Before End Of Season

Cincinnati Reds starter Sonny Gray (back) said he is hopeful he will be able to pitch in the final week of the regular season, according to Bobby Nightengale of the Cincinnati Inquirer. Gray suffered a strained back during his most recent start, a five-run shelling against the Chicago Cubs. Gray's return likely hinges on whether […]

Aaron Judge Resumes Swinging On Monday

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (calf) resumed taking swings on Monday, according to manager Aaron Boone. The 28-year-old slugger has not appeared in a game since August 26 and has only played in 18 of 47 games so far this season. Thankfully, it seems like he is nearing a return, and it could not […]

Lance McCullers Jr. Returning To Rotation Wednesday

Houston Astros starter Lance McCullers Jr. (neck) is scheduled to return to the team's starting rotation on Wednesday against the Texas Rangers. McCullers has not appeared in a game since Sept. 4 after dealing with neck irritation. The 26-year-old underwent treatment on the ailment, and it appears to have helped. Regardless, McCullers posted a 5.79 […]

Alan Patrick Unable To Score First Win Of 2020

Alan Patrick ran into a streaking Bobby Green on Saturday night. Green outstruck Patrick 109 to 38. He was also taken down a bit too often, only stuffing two of six attempts. Patrick did not compete in 2019, so he is still without a win since October of 2018. Nine of Patrick's 15 wins are […]

Bobby Green Continues Strong Season

2020 has been a tough year for nearly everyone on the planet, but Bobby Green is having a hot 2020 inside the Octagon. Winning his third bout this summer, Green defeated his opponent Alan Patrick by unanimous decision. Landing takedowns at will, Green scored four takedowns out of his six attempts. He also greatly out-struck […]

Broncos May Play It Safe With Courtland Sutton

The Denver Broncos haven't ruled out wide receiver Courtland Sutton (shoulder) against the Titans on Monday night, but he appears to be a long shot to play, according to a source. Sutton suffered an AC joint sprain a few days ago in practice. He'd likely play if it was a postseason game, but the Broncos […]

Zack Wheeler Throws Bullpen Session Monday

Philadelphia Phillies starter Zack Wheeler (fingernail) threw a bullpen session on Monday afternoon. There have been no updates on the success of the session, but if all went well, Wheeler would likely pitch later this week. The 30-year-old suffered the flukey injury while pulling up his pants. Thankfully, he did not need to go on […]

Brock Holt Headed To Paternity List

Washington Nationals infielder Brock Holt was placed on the paternity list on Monday afternoon. Jake Noll was recalled from the team's alternate training site as a corresponding move. Noll slashed .285/.327/.410 with 11 homers, 54 RBI, and five stolen bases across 118 games at Triple-A Fresno in 2019. There are some offensive tools in Noll's […]

Scott Kingery Activated On Monday

Philadelphia Phillies second baseman Scott Kingery (back) was activated off of the 10-day injured list on Monday. He is starting at second base and batting eighth against Pablo Lopez and the Miami Marlins. Kingery has not appeared in a game since August 30, and he was having a dismal season up to that point. He […]

Kyle Nelson Unable To Get The Victory To Kick Off The Main Card

Kyle Nelson made it into the third round against hot prospect Billy Quarantillo, but he was unable to get the victory. Nelson only tallied 62 strikes, almost half of his opponent. The Monster was having early success against Quarantillo, possibly taking the first round. Nelson looked gassed at the end of the second round, though, […]

Tony Kemp Starting Monday, Nate Orf Scratched

Oakland Athletics infielder Tony Kemp will start at second base and bat ninth against Marco Gonzales and the Seattle Mariners in the first game of Monday's doubleheader. Nate Orf was in the original lineup playing third base, but now Kemp has drawn in, and Tommy La Stella has shifted to the hot corner. Kemp and […]

Nick Senzel Activated Off Of Injured List

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Nick Senzel (undisclosed) was activated off of the 10-day injured list on Monday afternoon. He is starting in center field and batting seventh against Cody Ponce and the Pittsburgh Pirates. Senzel has not suited up for a game since August 14 with an unreported ailment. He was slashing .244/.327/.489 with two homers […]

Touki Toussaint Recalled To Start Monday's Game

Atlanta Braves pitcher Touki Toussaint was recalled from the team's alternate training site on Monday morning. He will face the Baltimore Orioles on Monday afternoon.

Billy Quarantillo Impresses On Saturday

Billy Quarantillo did exactly what was needed, scoring a big third-round knockout on Saturday. In just a touch over 10 minutes of action, Quarantillo landed 112 total strikes, along with landing one-third of his takedown attempts. After a tough battle in the first round which could have been taken by Kyle Nelson, the second round […]

Rhys Hoskins Remains Out On Monday

Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Rhys Hoskins (forearm) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Miami Marlins. Hoskins did not appear in either part of Sunday's doubleheader. He is expected to undergo an MRI on Monday afternoon, but he is considered day-to-day for now. In his absence, Phil Gosselin is getting the […]

J.T. Realmuto To Undergo MRI On Monday

Philadelphia Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto (hip) is getting an MRI on Monday to determine the full extent of his injury. The 29-year-old missed both games in Sunday's doubleheader after injuring his hip on Saturday. It is unclear how severe the injury is, but Realmuto remains day-to-day for now. In his absence, Rafael Marchan is starting […]

Jake Lamb Signs With Athletics

The Oakland Athletics have signed third baseman Jake Lamb to add to their infield depth after losing Matt Chapman (hip) for the remainder of 2020. Lamb was hitting .116 with just two runs and one RBI in 50 plate-appearances before being released by Arizona earlier this season. Lamb has some name-recognition in fantasy as he […]

Dustin May Expected To Start On Wednesday

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Dustin May (foot) should be able to start on Wednesday against the San Diego Padres, according to manager Dave Roberts. May injured himself back on Thursday when a comebacker hit him on his foot, but a CT scan came back negative, and his bullpen session went well. The talented 23-year-old has […]

David Njoku Expected To Miss Three Weeks

Updating a previous report, Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (knee) has a sprained medial collateral ligament and is expected to miss three weeks, according to a source.
