Jason Kipnis Drives in Four Runs on Sunday

Cleveland Indians second baseman Jason Kipnis had an excellent game on Sunday, driving in four runs and finishing 4-for-5 with three runs scored. He hit a home run and three singles, raising his batting average to .223. It's been another rough season for Kipnis, but he's had the occasional game like this one which shows […]

Carson Wentz Not Yet Cleared for Contact

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz (knee) has not yet been cleared for contact. With Week 1 rapidly approaching, the decision on Wentz may come down to the last minute. If he can't go, Nick Foles would be under center for Week 1, and the Eagles will hope Super Bowl Foles shows up, and not Preseason […]

Dak Prescott Likely Done for the Preseason

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott likely won't play again until Week 1 of the regular season. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones stated, "I think we'll be pretty conservative here," and said there's a "good chance" Prescott won't play again in the preseason. He's flying a bit under the radar in drafts this season, and while he […]

Week 22 MLB Closers and Saves Report

Little dudes in the Little League World Series this week; big names, big news this week in baseball's bullpens. An elite closer landed on the disabled list, another guy who looked like he was heading toward elite got demoted, and another elite guy came back and looked anything but elite. Meanwhile, the White Sox laugh […]

Zach Ertz Catches Four Passes on Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz caught four passes on five targets on Thursday, gaining 26 yards. Ertz won't play in the fourth preseason game, so he ends up with 46 yards on five catches. Rookie Dallas Goedert has looked excellent this preseason, but he won't challenge Ertz for playing time. Ertz can still be […]

Dallas Goedert Gains 26 Yards on Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles rookie tight end Dallas Goedert caught two of his five targets on Thursday, gaining 26 yards. Goedert has played well this preseason and has certainly earned a Week 1 role, although he'll clearly be playing behind Zach Ertz. Goedert could be the rare rookie tight end who actually has fantasy relevance, but he's […]

Wendell Smallwood Runs for 53 Yards on Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles running back Wendell Smallwood ran for 53 yards on 12 carries on Thursday. He had a long rush of 14 yards in the solid performance, adding two catches for 14 yards. Smallwood is on the roster bubble, but could still make the team at the bottom of the backfield depth chart. He won't […]

Nate Sudfeld Throws for Just 72 Yards on Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nate Sudfeld didn't do much on Thursday, completing 11-of-21 passes for 72 scoreless yards. He added a rush for a three yard gain. Sudfeld will make the team at the bottom of the quarterback depth chart, but he hasn't done much to inspire confidence in him if he is eventually forced to […]

Nick Foles Struggles on Thursday Night

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles struggled on Thursday night, completing only 13 passes in 17 attempts for 127 scoreless yards. He threw two interceptions, fumbled, and caused a safety. It was an ugly performance for Foles and definitely a cause for concern for the Eagles if Carson Wentz (knee) isn't ready for Week 1.

Adam Plutko Allows Five Runs on Thursday

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Adam Plutko pitched poorly on Thursday, taking a loss against the Boston Red Sox. He allowed five runs on five hits and five walks in just 4 1/3 innings. Plutko had trouble throwing strikes, with only 65 of his 101 pitches ending up in the strike zone. The loss evened his […]

"No Doubt" Zack Martin Will Be Ready for Week 1

Dallas Cowboys right guard Zack Martin (knee) said there is "no doubt" he will play in the Week 1 game. Martin is dealing with a hyperextended knee and a bone bruise he suffered during the second preseason game. With the Cowboys offensive line dropping like flies heading up to Week 1, Martin's presence is key […]

Travis Frederick Could Miss Several Weeks

Dallas Cowboys center Travis Frederick has been diagnosed with Guillain-Barre Syndrome, and it could reportedly cost him "multiple weeks of the season." Frederick was originally thought to be dealing with stingers, but it turns out he also has a rare autoimmune disease that causes muscle weakness. It is treatable, but there is no timetable for […]

Jack Flaherty Takes a No-Hitter Into the Seventh Inning

St. Louis Cardinals rookie starting pitcher Jack Flaherty took a no-hitter into the seventh inning on Wednesday. He ended up pitching six innings, allowing just a solo home run and two walks while striking out 10. The strikeouts ran Flaherty's pitch count up to 101, so he was pulled from the game as soon as […]

Edwin Encarnacion Goes Yard Twice on Wednesday

Cleveland Indians designated hitter Edwin Encarnacion hit two home runs on Wednesday, ending up 2-for-4 with two runs scored and four RBI. The two homers gave him 27 on the year and brought his RBI total to 85. He's hitting .232, but his other numbers have been solid.

Carlos Carrasco Allows Six Runs on Wednesday

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco was hit hard on Wednesday, allowing six runs (five earned) on eight hits and a walk in just 3 2/3 innings. He did strike out six, but his ERA went up to 3.55 and his record dropped to 15-7. It was a rough start, but "Cookie" is still one […]

Yairo Munoz Comes Off the Disabled List

St. Louis Cardinals utility player Yairo Munoz was activated from the disabled list on Wednesday. Munoz ended up missing almost two weeks due to a wrist injury. With Marcell Ozuna (shoulder) heading to the DL, Munoz could see some starts in the outfield over the next week or two. He could be a decent low-cost […]

Daniel Poncedeleon Sent Down to Triple-A

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Daniel Poncedeleon was optioned to Triple-A Memphis on Wednesday. Poncedeleon looked inefficient but electric in his start on Tuesday, striking out eight in four innings but racking up 90 pitches in the process. He was pitching in Luke Weaver's spot in the rotation and will likely be back up once […]

Marcell Ozuna Placed on the Disabled List

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Marcell Ozuna was placed on the 10-day disabled list on Wednesday due to shoulder inflammation. He's been dealing with shoulder issues most of the season, perhaps contributing to his disappointing .762 OPS and 16 home runs. The Cardinals hope he will only need the 10 days of rest and expect him […]

Matt Jones, Donnel Pumphrey, and Wendell Smallwood Could All Get Cut

Philadelphia Eagles running backs Matt Jones, Donnel Pumphrey, and Wendell Smallwood could all fail to make the final 53-man roster for the Eagles, according to Philly Voice. Undrafted free agent Josh Adams is expected to take the last spot on the running back depth chart behind Jay Ajayi, Corey Clement, and Darren Sproles. All three […]

Daniel Poncedeleon Electric but Inefficient on Tuesday

St. Louis Cardinals rookie starting pitcher Daniel Poncedeleon was electric but inefficient on Tuesday. He struck out eight in just four innings of work, but it took him 90 pitches to get just 12 outs. He allowed only one run on five hits, but was noticeably struggling with his control at times. Poncedeleon took the […]

Brad Hand Gets the Save on Tuesday

Cleveland Indians relief pitcher Brad Hand earned a save on Tuesday, tossing a scoreless ninth inning while striking out two. He locked down a 6-3 win for Cleveland over the Boston Red Sox. Since Cleveland acquired Hand, he and Cody Allen both have five saves. It seems likely the team will continue to mix and […]

Shane Bieber Picks Up a Quality Start on Tuesday

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Shane Bieber picked up a quality start on Tuesday, tossing 6 1/3 innings while giving up three runs on five hits. He did not issue a walk and struck out five. Bieber was much better than his line showed, as he'd faced just one over the minimum through the first six […]

Cardinals Set to Acquire Matt Adams

The St. Louis Cardinals are set to acquire first baseman Matt Adams from the Washington Nationals. With the Nationals finally admitting that their 2018 playoff hopes are over, they've reportedly traded both Adams and Daniel Murphy. Adams has been solid this season, hitting .257/.332/.510 with 18 home runs. He'll serve as a power bat off […]

Wendell Smallwood and Matt Jones Could Have Good Games Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles running backs Wendell Smallwood and Matt Jones could have good outings on Thursday, making them both potentially solid DFS picks. The two backups are expected to be the only active running backs for Philadelphia's third preseason game. Darren Sproles has already been ruled out and Jay Ajayi is unlikely to play due to […]

Nick Foles Will Play "About a Half" on Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles will play "about a half" in Thursday's preseason game according to coach Doug Pederson. Foles was forced to leave the second preseason game because of a shoulder injury, but he recovered quickly and will be in there to face the Cleveland Browns in the regular season dress rehearsal. If Carson […]

Michael Brantley Hits a Home Run on Monday

Cleveland Indians outfielder Michael Brantley hit his 14th home run of the season on Monday, going 2-for-4 with a run scored and two RBI. The two runs driven in gave him 67 on the season to go with a strong .302 batting average and .829 OPS. He's essentially doing what everyone knew he could if […]

Melky Cabrera Stays Hot With Another Home Run on Monday

Cleveland Indians outfielder Melky Cabrera stayed hot on Monday, going 2-for-3 with a home run. His fifth inning bomb was a solo shot, his fifth home run of the year. After a rough start to 2018, Cabrera is flashing plenty of upside lately, but it's much more likely to be a temporary hot streak than […]

Cody Allen Saves Monday's Game

Cleveland Indians relief pitcher Cody Allen earned the save on Monday, pitching the ninth inning and allowing a run on two hits and a walk. Brad Hand and Adam Cimber combined to work the eighth inning, but Allen was the one that got the save chance in this one. It looks like Cleveland will be […]

Corey Kluber Allows Nine Hits But Wins on Monday

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Corey Kluber allowed nine hits and a walk on Monday, but ended up with a win and a quality start anyway. He allowed three runs in 6 1/3 innings, striking out six. The win improved his record to 16-6 and his ERA moved to 2.74. Against a potent Red Sox lineup, […]

Edwin Encarnacion Expected Back "Mid-Week"

Cleveland Indians designated hitter Edwin Encarnacion (hand) is expected back "mid-week" according to manager Terry Francona. Encarnacion is on the disabled list with a bruised hand and is eligible to be activated on Tuesday. It seems like he'll come back a day or two after he's eligible, but should be right back in the middle […]
