Yankees Call Up Miguel Andujar On Tuesday

New York Yankees third baseman and outfielder Miguel Andujar was called up from the team’s alternate site on Tuesday. Playing time isn’t readily available at third base or in the outfield despite Andujar’s call-up, so it’s unlikely that the 25-year-old will find his way into regular playing time. That being said, the Yankees have toyed […]

Joe Burrow Has Full Grasp Of Offense

Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said that rookie quarterback Joe Burrow has "full grasp of our offense." Burrow won the starting job before his first training camp practice, and his work the past few weeks in camp has reaffirmed the club's decision. The former LSU star is working hard and is already taking a […]

Yankees Activate Aaron Judge

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (calf) has been reinstated from the injured list, and he is expected to play in Tuesday’s game against the Braves. Judge was never expected to miss much more than the minimum 10 days with a mild calf strain, and he likely would have been activated over the weekend had the […]

A.J. Green Close To Returning To Practice

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green (hamstring) is expected to return to practice on Wednesday, according to head coach Zac Taylor. Green tweaked his hamstring during a session last week and has been sidelined since, although he has been able to work on the rehab field. Green brings plenty of fantasy potential to the table […]

Packers Very Confident In Tim Boyle

Green Bay Packers quarterback Tim Boyle has really impressed the team during training camp and appears to have a leg up as Aaron Rodgers' backup over first-rounder Jordan Love. "He’s proven himself day-in and day-out. Glad we have him. Again, with Aaron back there, you hope you never have to go that route. But if […]

Marcus Mariota Hasn't Looked Good In Practice

Three Las Vegas Raiders beat writers noted that quarterback Marcus Mariota had a poor week of practice in training camp. Head coach Jon Gruden's offense is a complicated system to pick up quickly, so perhaps that's part of the reason. It's good news for incumbent Derek Carr, but he'll still be on a short leash […]

David Peterson Throws Bullpen Session On Monday

New York Mets left-handed pitcher David Peterson (shoulder) threw a bullpen session on Monday. It is presumed that the bullpen session went well since Peterson is reportedly a potential option to start later in the week as the Mets try to set their starting pitching rotation. Following a series of games postponed due to two […]

Webb Simpson Withdraws From BMW Championship

Webb Simpson, the third-ranked player in the FedExCup standings, has withdrawn from the BMW Championship field. Simpson's removal will move the field size to 69 players. The representation for the 35-year-old released a statement that "after playing consecutive weeks, Webb is taking the week off in order to be rested for the Tour Championship in […]

Josh Norman To Miss Time With Hamstring Injury

Buffalo Bills cornerback Josh Norman (hamstring) doesn't have a timetable to return to practice after suffering a left hamstring injury last week, according to head coach Sean McDermott. The aging former Pro Bowler isn't off to a good start with his new team after spending the past few seasons in Washington. Norman's play really declined […]

Ion Cutelaba Looking For Redemption

Ion Cutelaba (15-5) will look to redeem his first-round knockout loss in his previous bout with Magomed Ankalaev, who he will face again Saturday night. After a controversial knockout loss where Cutelaba claims he was playing possum, he will take his 12 knockouts into the Octagon seeking to add to that total. DraftKings does not […]

Frank Gore Impressing At Jets Camp

New York Jets veteran running back Frank Gore has been extremely impressive at training camp so far. "The most impressive running back at Jets camp is Frank Gore. I don't think it's really close, either," The Athletic's Connor Hughes said. The 37-year-old continues to defy all expectations as he nears the end of his career. […]

Seth Lugo To Start Tuesday Against Miami

New York Mets pitcher Seth Lugo will start for the Mets on Tuesday in the second game of a doubleheader against the Miami Marlins. Lugo will remain in the starting rotation indefinitely. Lugo has historically been much more effective out of the bullpen. As a relief pitcher, Lugo’s career ERA is 2.53 against a career […]

Brian Hill Appears To Be No. 2 Behind Todd Gurley

Atlanta Falcons running back Brian Hill appears to be the clear No. 2 behind Todd Gurley II in training camp. If Gurley struggles or deals with health issues in his first year in Atlanta, it wouldn't be a surprise to see Hill enjoy some lead-back moments. The 24-year-old had 78 carries for 323 yards and […]

Jacob deGrom To Start Wednesday Against Marlins

The New York Mets have set their starting pitching rotation following a series of games postponed due to two positive COVID-19 tests in the organization. Starting pitcher Jacob deGrom will get the nod on Wednesday against the Marlins in what is an excellent matchup. On the season, deGrom owns a 1.93 ERA, an 0.89 WHIP, […]

49ers Working Out Kevin White, Other Receivers

The San Francisco 49ers are having receiver workouts on Tuesday with free-agent wide receivers Kevin White, Johnny Holton, River Cracraft and Justin Hardy. The Niners are looking for even more depth after a season-ending injury to Jalen Hurd and a foot injury that could keep Deebo Samuel out to start the regular season. San Fran […]

Andres Gimenez Placed On Injured List For Undisclosed Reason

New York Mets infielder Andres Gimenez was placed on the injured list for an undisclosed reason on Tuesday. The team is not specifying which injured list Gimenez is going on. Gimenez has had a breakout rookie campaign in 2020 acting as both an offensive and defensive spark plug for the team, despite recent struggles at […]

Chad Henne Wins Backup Job

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Chad Henne has officially locked up the backup duties to Patrick Mahomes, with Matt Moore an option for one of the newly created veteran spots on the practice squad. Jordan Ta'amu is the other QB on KC's current roster. Henne will again hold the clipboard for the best quarterback in the […]

Magomed Ankalaev Set To Clear Up Controversial Bout

Magomed Ankalaev (13-1) is set for a rematch with Ion Cutelaba after their controversial bout in February. The referee stopped the bout in the first round after it appeared that Cutelaba was knocked out on his feet. Cutelaba was claiming he was playing possum to lure in Ankalaev. The two are set to run it […]

Darrel Williams The Clear No. 2 Back

Kansas City Chiefs running back Darrel Williams is the clear No. 2 running back behind rookie Clyde Edwards-Helaire after two weeks of practices. Damien Williams' decision to opt out of the 2020 season due to COVID-19 has elevated Darrel Williams' fantasy stock considerably. Edwards-Helaire should see the lion's share of backfield work in this explosive […]

Saints Defense Looking Good

The New Orleans Saints Defense has looked good early in training camp, specifically their sneaky deep defensive line. The Saints also have one of their best secondaries in recent memory, which includes a breakout candidate in Chauncey Gardner-Johnson. Ceedy Duce has made a lot of plays in practice, including when quarterback Drew Brees has been […]

Trent Williams Seems To Be In Elite Form

San Francisco 49ers left tackle Trent Williams has been giving pass-rusher Nick Bosa fits in practice during training camp. San Francisco's acquisition of the All-Pro Williams could prove to be one of the best offseason transactions if Williams can stay healthy. The 32-year-old is replacing the retired Joe Staley on the left side of the […]

Eagles Re-Engage Zach Ertz In Contract Talks

The Philadelphia Eagles have re-engaged on contract talks with tight end Zach Ertz. The timing makes sense after two stars (George Kittle, Travis Kelce) at the position recently got paid. Ertz's stats put him on a historic pace, as he has more yards (5,743) and catches (525) than Hall of Famer Tony Gonzalez had through […]

Cardinals Make Budda Baker The Highest-Paid Safety

The Arizona Cardinals are giving Pro Bowl safety Budda Baker a four-year, $59 million contract extension on Tuesday, making him the highest-paid safety in NFL history, according to sources. The new deal will average $14.75 million per season. Baker will also receive $33.1 million guaranteed in the massive deal. A second-round pick by Arizona in […]

Josh Hader Shuts The Door For Save

Milwaukee Brewers closer Josh Hader picked up the save in Monday's 4-2 win over the Reds, allowing a walk and striking out one in a scoreless ninth inning. Hader immediately brought the tying run to the plate by walking Joey Votto to start the ninth, but was able to retire the next three batters to […]

Cowboys Not Expected To Pursue Earl Thomas

Although the Dallas Cowboys made some inquiries on free-agent Pro Bowl safety Earl Thomas after he was released by the Ravens on Sunday, they are not expected to be among the teams vying for his services, sources say. Many assumed the Cowboys would be a favorite for Thomas since he's from Texas and played his […]

Justin Smoak Smashes Another Home Run

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Justin Smoak went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and three RBI in Monday's 4-2 win over the Reds. Smoak got the Brewers out to a 1-0 lead in the first with a single that drove in teammate Christian Yelich. He later extended Milwaukee's lead with a two-run homer in the […]
