Austin Riley To Undergo Further Testing

Atlanta Braves third baseman Austin Riley (hand) was forced to exit early during Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. The young slugger was removed from the contest after getting hit by a pitch in the hand during the first inning. Braves' manager Brian Snitker told reporters that Riley will undergo further evaluation after X-rays […]

Will Levis Expected To Start In Preseason Finale

Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis is expected to start during the team's final preseason game next weekend. Levis and a majority of the starters sat out of their second preseason game after getting in a few reps during the preseason opener. It sounds like the plan is for Levis to play around three or four […]

Jedrick Wills Won't Practice This Week

Cleveland Browns offensive tackle Jedrick Wills (knee) won't suit up for practice at all this upcoming week. Wills is working his way back from knee surgery last December, but remains without a timetable. He'll end up missing the entire preseason and his status for Week 1 is still uncertain. The Browns have been hit hard […]

Matthew Stafford Uncertain For Practice

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford (hamstring) is uncertain to suit up for Monday's practice session, according to head coach Sean McVay. Stafford has been sidelined since leaving early during Wednesday's practice due to hamstring tightness. The Rams are downplaying the severity of the issue but will likely re-evaluate his status on Monday. The 36-year-old […]

James Washington Released By Falcons

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver James Washington has been released by the organization on Sunday. It looks like Washington was the odd man out as the Falcons needed to cut someone to add safety Justin Simmons to the roster. At this point, Washington is nothing more than depth on any NFL roster. His best season came […]

Nolan Jones Activated Off Injured List

Colorado Rockies outfielder Nolan Jones (back) has been activated off the 10-day injured list on Sunday. Jones appears to be ready to play again after missing a month of action due to a lower back strain. The young slugger is having a disappointing 2024 campaign after hitting .297 with 20 homers last season in Colorado. […]

Justin Verlander Scheduled To Start On Wednesday

Houston Astros starting pitcher Justin Verlander (neck) is currently scheduled to take the ball against the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday. The 41-year-old has been sidelined since mid-June due to a neck issue. Verlander looked good during his most recent rehab start at Double-A Corpus Christi on Thursday. It sounds like Verlander is ready to […]

Tommy Edman Set To Return On Monday

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder/outfielder Tommy Edman (wrist, ankle) is set to make his return from the injured list on Monday. Edman is finally ready to make his season debut after missing a majority of the season due to multiple injuries. The 29-year-old can play all over the field but is expected to mainly play in […]

Max Muncy Expected To Be Activated On Monday

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy (oblique) is expected to be activated off the injured list ahead of Monday's game against the Seattle Mariners. This is a welcoming sight for the Dodgers who could use a boost of offense with Freddie Freeman (finger) being sidelined right now. It's worth noting that Muncy took grounders […]

Royce Lewis Sitting Out On Sunday

Minnesota Twins infielder Royce Lewis is taking a seat ahead of Sunday's game against the Texas Rangers. This appears to be a routine rest day for Lewis so fantasy managers don't need to be concerned about an injury. Lewis has collected three hits in this series, so him sitting out isn't due to poor performance. […]

Freddie Freeman Remains Out, Will Undergo CT Scan

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman (finger) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. The veteran slugger will take the day off after jamming his finger on his throwing hand during Saturday's contest. Manager Dave Roberts said Freeman will get a CT scan on his hand […]

Cody Thompson Hauls In Five Receptions

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Cody Thompson was able to make the most of his chances during Saturday's preseason matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 28-year-old hauled in five receptions for a team-high 66 yards and one touchdown in the loss. His score was on a six-yard pass from quarterback Kyle Trask in the first […]

Bucky Irving Gets Six Carries

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving made some noise during the team's preseason opener last week. Sadly, Irving wasn't able to have the same level of success during Saturday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The fourth-round pick rushed six times for 26 yards in the loss. The yardage is about the same, but last […]

Kyle Trask Improves In Second Preseason Game

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Kyle Trask was given the start under center once again for the second preseason contest on Saturday. The former second-round pick looked better on the field during this outing. He completed 12-of-19 passing attempts for 108 yards with one touchdown and zero interceptions in the loss. This performance should give Trask […]

Adam Thielen Sitting Out On Saturday

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Adam Thielen won't suit up for Saturday's preseason contest against the New York Jets. The Panthers plan to sit a majority of their starters during their second preseason contest. The 10-year wideout doesn't necessarily need preseason reps to get ready before Week 1. That being said, fantasy managers shouldn't be alarmed […]

Diontae Johnson Unavailable On Saturday

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Diontae Johnson (groin) isn't expected to suit up for Saturday's preseason game against the New York Jets. This doesn't come as much of a surprise considering Johnson has missed the last two practices. He continues to deal with a strained groin that hopefully won't be something that lingers into the regular […]

Aaron Rodgers Unavailable For Saturday

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers won't suit up during Saturday's second preseason contest against the Carolina Panthers. It appears the Jets plan to rest a majority of their starters on Saturday. The team is reportedly resting 32 players, which includes most of their key starters. Second string quarterback Tyrod Taylor will dress but will […]

Bryce Young To Miss Second Preseason Contest

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young will remain on the bench for Saturday's preseason matchup against the New York Jets. New head coach Dave Canales will give most of his starters the night off during this exhibition contest. There doesn't appear to be anything wrong with Young, but the Panthers don't want to risk an injury […]

Bobby Miller Could Be Used In Bullpen

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Bobby Miller is expected to rejoin the big league roster on Saturday, according to manager Dave Roberts. The 26-year-old was optioned to the minors about a month ago to work on his mechanics but he was also dealing with a groin issue. The plan is for Tyler Glasnow to take the […]

Ryne Nelson Getting Starting Nod

Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Ryne Nelson will get the starting nod against the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday. Manager Torey Lovullo said earlier in the week that Nelson would be available out of the bullpen. The D-Backs didn't use him out of the pen which made him available to pitch in this game. Nelson allowed two […]

Jorge Soler Remains Sidelined

Atlanta Braves outfielder Jorge Soler (hamstring) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. The veteran slugger suffered a left hamstring strain during Wednesday's contest. He hasn't played since then, but the Braves don't believe Soler will require a trip to the injured list. For now, fantasy managers […]

Brandon Drury Absent On Friday

Los Angeles Angels infielder Brandon Drury is out of the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Atlanta Braves. Drury has been awful with the bat since the All-Star break. He's hitting .127 with four RBI since the break, so it's not shocking to see him sitting for a second straight game. As a […]

Nick Sogard Returning To The Lineup

Boston Red Sox infielder Nick Sogard (calf) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. Sogard was pulled from Wednesday's game due to calf soreness and sat out of Thursday's contest as a result. He'll cover second base and bat seventh versus right-hander Corbin Burnes. Sogard is slashing .250/.311/.275 […]

Niko Kavadas Batting Cleanup In Debut

Los Angeles Angels first baseman Niko Kavadas will be making his MLB debut against the Atlanta Braves on Friday. The 25-year-old put together fairly strong numbers during his time in Triple-A. He was slashing .264/.400/.521 with 19 home runs and 67 RBI in the minors before getting called up. Kavadas figures to get regular playing […]

Chase Claypool Released By Bills

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Chase Claypool (toe) has been released by the organization. This news doesn't come as a huge surprise after Claypool was placed on season-ending Injured Reserve earlier this week due to a toe injury. The 26-year-old put together two solid seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers to begin his career. Since then, Claypool […]

Dak Prescott Making Progress In Contract Talks

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is entering the final year of his contract with the organization. The two sides have reportedly had good conversation about a long term extension. The good news for Cowboys fans is that Prescott appears willing to play through the final year of his deal. The same cannot be said about […]

Nate Wiggins Back At Practice

Baltimore Ravens rookie first-round defensive back Nate Wiggins (shoulder) returned to the practice field on Thursday. This is good news after Wiggins suffered a shoulder injury during the preseason opener against the Philadelphia Eagles. The organization was concerned about the injury, but further testing determined there was no serious damage to his shoulder. That being […]

Zach Ertz Won't Play On Saturday

Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz was not seen at practice and won't be available for the upcoming preseason matchup against the Miami Dolphins. Fantasy managers don't need to worry as his absence isn't injury related. Head coach Dan Quinn confirmed that Ertz is fine and is away from the team for personal reasons. Quinn […]

Tyrone Tracy Jr. Making Progress

New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. (ankle) appears to be in good shape after his incident a few days ago. The rookie back was carted off the field during Tuesday's practice due to an ankle injury. Now, Tracy was seen running and cutting on the field with the training staff on Thursday. This […]

Baker Mayfield Sitting For Second Preseason Game

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield will head to the bench for Saturday's preseason game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. It sounds like the Bucs are going with the same strategy as last week. That means most of the starters are going to sit including Mayfield for the second straight week. It'll be Kyle Trask and […]
