Max Muncy Sitting Out Versus Lefty

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Max Muncy will take a seat for Friday's game against the Colorado Rockies. Manager Dave Roberts has decided to play matchups and exclude Muncy from Friday's starting lineup. Instead, Kike Hernandez will cover third base and bat fifth versus left-hander Austin Gomber. Fantasy managers should adjust their lineups accordingly with Muncy […]

Jose Abreu Remains Out On Friday

Houston Astros first baseman Jose Abreu (back) remains out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. The veteran slugger missed Thursday's game due to lower back discomfort. It appears this issue is still bothering him, so he'll miss at least one more game. This seems like a day-to-day type of […]

J.P. Crawford Placed On 7-Day Concussion List

Seattle Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford (head) has been placed on the 7-day concussion injured list ahead of Friday's game. Crawford was pulled out of Wednesday's game after colliding with teammate Eugenio Suarez. This is a shame considering Crawford is playing extremely well right now. He's slashing .266/.379.411 with 10 home runs and 38 RBI in […]

Luis Robert Jr. Out On Friday

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. (finger) is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers.

The hope is that Robert […]

Matthew Stafford Unlikely To Play In Preseason Opener

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford is not expected to suit up for Saturday's preseason matchup versus the Los Angeles Chargers. The 35-year-old dealt with a handful of injuries last season, which limited him to nine games. The good news is, Stafford is throwing without any neck issues. However, the Rams don't want to push […]

Kenny Pickett To Play First Series

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett is scheduled to play the first series during the preseason opener versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Friday. This isn't shocking considering most starters don't play very long in the beginning of the preseason. The 25-year-old is entering his first full season as the Steelers starting quarterback. He showed flashes […]

Sean Tucker Impressing In Camp

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Sean Tucker has been impressing the organization over the first few weeks of camp. That being said, it wouldn't be surprising to see Tucker get an extended look during the preseason opener. Tucker went undrafted after being a three-year standout at Syracuse. He reportedly has a heart condition, which could […]

Trey Sermon Projected To Make 53-Man Roster

Philadelphia Eagles running back Trey Sermon has reportedly been receiving first-team reps in training camp.

Tank Dell Receives High Praise

Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell has been exceeding expectations early in camp. Head coach DeMeco Ryans says Dell has been an explosive playmaker for the Texans early in camp. The Texans are happy to see that Dell's performance on the practice field translates well in real game action. That being said, fantasy managers shouldn't […]

John Stephens Jr. Impressing After Positional Switch

Dallas Cowboys tight end John Stephens Jr. came into the league as a wide receiver. However, the team decided based on his size to move Stephens over to the tight end spot. The undrafted rookie appears to be doing well with the transition early in camp. The Cowboys don't have a ton of competition at […]

Jordan Addison Makes One Catch

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison got his first taste of NFL action during Thursday's preseason opener versus the Seattle Seahawks. The Vikings expected big things from Addison after selecting him in the first-round of this year's draft. The 21-year-old didn't do much in this one as he hauled in one of his three targets […]

DeWayne McBride Quiet During Preseason Opener

Minnesota Vikings running back DeWayne McBride didn't have much success during Thursday's preseason opener against the Seattle Seahawks. He was the second back into the game after Ty Chandler was the primary back in the first half. The seventh-round rookie rushed six times for 15 yards and didn't do anything in the receiving game. Right […]

Ty Chandler Shows Promise During Preseason Opener

Minnesota Vikings running back Ty Chandler is currently competing for the backup role behind Alexander Mattison. The 25-year-old worked as the primary back for the first half of Thursday's preseason opener against the Seattle Seahawks. The former fifth-round pick showed his ability to make plays in both the rushing and receiving game. Chandler rushed 11 […]

Jonathan Taylor Expected Back Next Week

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) is expected to be back with the organization sometime next week, according to head coach Shane Steichen. Taylor has been away from the team while reportedly rehabbing his ankle injury. It's also worth noting that Taylor recently requested a trade from the team after failing to agree on […]

James Bradberry Returns To Practice On Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles defensive back James Bradberry (groin) was back on the practice field on Thursday. The 30-year-old was able to participate in team drills, so it sounds like he should be fine going forward. Bradberry was dealing with a groin issue, but the team didn't consider it a significant injury. Possibly, the Eagles take the […]

James Robinson Back At Practice

New York Giants running back James Robinson (undisclosed) has returned to the practice field on Thursday. The 25-year-old recently joined the Giants roster after being cut by the New England Patriots earlier in the offseason. Robinson put together a strong 1,000-yard rushing season during his rookie campaign in 2020. Since then, Robinson has been limited […]

Puka Nacua Getting Plenty Of Reps

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua has reportedly been in the mix often since the beginning of OTAs. The fifth-round rookie could earn a legitimate role in the offense from Day 1. The coaching staff has praised Nacua's yard-after-catch ability and are excited to see it in game action. The Rams have a few […]

Kyren Williams Impressing In Camp

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams has reportedly been outstanding in both the running and receiving game early in camp. The 22-year-old looks confident and makes plays when the ball is thrown his way. The Rams are reportedly splitting the reps between Williams and Cam Akers in the backfield. The assumption was that Akers […]

Jordan Hicks Records Save On Wednesday

Toronto Blue Jays relief pitcher Jordan Hicks was called upon to record the final out of Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Guardians. The right-hander entered the game with two outs and a runner on with a one-run lead in the ninth inning. He was able to record the final out of the game and earn […]

Marco Luciano Battling Injury

San Francisco Giants shortstop prospect Marco Luciano (hamstring) was removed early during Tuesday's game with Triple-A Sacramento. The assumption was that Luciano was being recalled to the big league roster. However, that doesn't appear to be the case as Luciano was actually taken out of the game due to a hamstring injury. The team hasn't […]

Aaron Sanchez Signs With Diamondbacks

Free-agent starting pitcher Aaron Sanchez has agreed on a minor-league contract with the Arizona Diamondbacks. Sanchez was released by the Minnesota Twins a few weeks ago. He made eight appearances (three starts) with the Twins last season, but didn't pitch too well. The 31-year-old hasn't pitched in the MLB yet this season and is expected […]

Luis Robert Jr. Removed Early On Wednesday

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. (hand) was removed early during Wednesday's game against the New York Yankees. The 26-year-old appears to have possibly suffered a right hand injury while sliding into third base during a steal attempt. The team lifted Robert for a defensive replacement in the fourth inning. Possibly, the White Sox […]

Michael Lorenzen Throws First Career No-Hitter

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Michael Lorenzen was impressive during his team debut last week, but was able to top it on Wednesday. The right-hander tossed his first career no-hitter versus the Washington Nationals during Wednesday's contest. He struck out five batters, but also walked four hitters which didn't help his pitch count. Lorenzen threw a […]

Greg Brown III Joins Mavericks

Free-agent forward Greg Brown III has agreed to a training camp deal with the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday. Brown is a former second-round pick of the Portland Trail Blazers from the 2021 draft.

Josh Hart Signs Four-Year Extension

New York Knicks guard Josh Hart has agreed to a long term extension with the organization. The two sides have agreed to a four-year, $81 million extension on Wednesday. The Knicks acquired Hart at the trade deadline last season. He played a significant role in getting the Knicks to the second round of the postseason. […]

DJ LeMahieu Scratched On Wednesday

New York Yankees infielder DJ LeMahieu (calf) has been scratched from Wednesday's starting lineup against the Chicago White Sox. It appears the 35-year-old is dealing with left calf tightness, so the team will play it safe and hold him out of this game. Isiah Kiner-Falefa will move over to third base with Oswaldo Cabrera being […]

Gabriel Moreno To Begin Rehab Assignment On Thursday

Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Gabriel Moreno (shoulder) is expected to begin a minor league rehab assignment on Thursday. He is scheduled to catch five innings in the Rookie-level Arizona Complex league. The 23-year-old has been sidelined since late July due to left shoulder inflammation.

AJ Pollock To Sit Out On Wednesday

San Francisco Giants outfielder AJ Pollock (side) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. The 35-year-old was forced to exit early on Tuesday due to left side discomfort. He won't be in the lineup on Wednesday, but might be available off the bench. Joc Pederson, Luis Matos, and […]

J.D. Martinez Absent On Wednesday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder J.D. Martinez (hamstring) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. This doesn't come as a surprise after Martinez was scratched from Tuesday's lineup due to ongoing leg and hamstring issues. He has already missed time recently due to the same issue. James Outman will serve […]
