Lonnie Chisenhall Scratched from Wednesday's Lineup

Cleveland Indians outfielder Lonnie Chisenhall was scratched from Wednesday's starting lineup due to bilateral calf soreness. He was on the disabled list for almost two months because of a calf strain, so while the team doesn't seem overly concerned right now, it's certainly something to keep an eye on. Tyler Naquin took over in right […]

Blake Jarwin Working as the Top Tight End in Dallas

Dallas Cowboys tight end Blake Jarwin worked as the top tight end option in organized team activities and minicamp. After Jason Witten's retirement, the Cowboys were left with a big hole at tight end. Rico Gathers got plenty of hype but was reportedly barely on the field and mostly asked to block when he was. […]

Allen Hurns Working as the Clear Top Receiver

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Allen Hurns was working as the team's "clear-cut" top receiving option throughout spring practices. With Dez Bryant gone and not much else talent-wise on the wide receiver depth chart, Hurns could be in for a fairly big season. The Cowboys offense will run through Ezekiel Elliott, limiting the fantasy impact of […]

Matt Carpenter Drives in Three Runs on Tuesday

St. Louis Cardinals infielder Matt Carpenter had an excellent game on Tuesday, hitting a home run and a double. He drove in three runs and scored two. After a terrible start to the season, Carpenter has been on fire lately, moving his batting average up to .239 and his OPS to an even .800. He […]

Greg Holland Pitches Well in His Return to the Cardinals Bullpen

St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher Greg Holland (hip) pitched well in his return to the Cardinals bullpen on Tuesday. He tossed a perfect inning, striking out two and inducing a ground ball. Holland was awful before going on the disabled list and wasn't faring much better in the minor leagues during his rehab assignment. It'll […]

Cody Allen Gets One Out to Record His 15th Save

Cleveland Indians closer Cody Allen got the last out of Tuesday's win to record his 15th save of the season. He threw just two pitches, inducing a fly out to close out a 6-3 victory. Allen wasn't in to start the ninth inning since Cleveland was up 6-1, but Zach McAllister was unable to get […]

Mike Clevinger Strikes Out 10 on Tuesday

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Mike Clevinger struck out 10 batters in 7 2/3 innings on Tuesday, allowing just a run on five hits and two walks. It was another excellent start by Clevinger, who improved to 6-2 and lowered his ERA to an even 3.00. He's been the best non-Kluber starter in the Cleveland rotation […]

Luke Weaver Allows Four Runs in Five Innings on Tuesday

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Luke Weaver allowed four runs on six hits and four walks in five innings on Tuesday. He struck out four and needed 99 pitches to get through his five innings. It was another uninspiring start by Weaver, who got off to an excellent start this season but has hit a […]

Michael Gallup Showing a "Good Rapport" With Dak Prescott

Dallas Cowboys rookie wide receiver Michael Gallup has reportedly shown a "good rapport" with quarterback Dak Prescott. It can be hard to analyze things at organized team activities, but Gallup was able to find "ways to generate space" and should have an opportunity to see plenty of targets with Dez Bryant no longer on the […]

Dallas Goedert Expected to Have a Week 1 Role

Philadelphia Eagles rookie tight end Dallas Goedert is expected to have an immediate role in Week 1. Zach Ertz remains atop the tight end depth chart of course, but with Trey Burton gone, Goedert will slide into the No. 2 tight end role. Goedert wasn't much of a blocking tight end in college, so he […]

David Irving Suspended for Four Games

Dallas Cowboys defensive lineman David Irving was suspended by the NFL for four games for violating the league's substance-abuse policy. He won't be able to take the field until the Week 5 game against the Houston Texans. Irving failed a test and served a four-game suspension in 2017 as well. Entering a contract year, Irving […]

Rico Gathers Mostly Works as a Blocker in OTAs

Dallas Cowboys tight end Rico Gathers reportedly "didn't get many chances" to catch passes during organized team activities. Gathers worked mostly as a blocking tight end, and it seemed like the team had him focusing on that aspect of tight end play instead of as a more fantasy-relevant pass-catching tight end. Gathers has been a […]

Trevor Bauer Has Another Strong Start on Monday

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Trevor Bauer had another excellent start on Monday, tossing seven shutout innings, allowing just three hits and two walks while striking out eight. This is finally the Trevor Bauer that fantasy owners have been trying to draft for a few years now. Monday's win was his sixth and he lowered his […]

Jason Kipnis Has a Big Game on Monday

Cleveland Indians second baseman Jason Kipnis had a great game on Monday, finishing 3-for-4 with a home run and two singles. He scored two runs and drove in another two. The homer was Kipnis' fifth and the RBI were his 26th and 27th. Despite the big game, Kipnis is still hitting just .207 with a […]

Miles Mikolas Allows Four Runs in Five Innings on Monday

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Miles Mikolas allowed four runs on six hits and a walk in five innings on Monday. He ended up with a no decision on the night, as the Phillies won in the 10th inning. Mikolas has hit a bit of a bump in the road, but he's still been more […]

Yadier Molina Hits a Homer and a Double on Monday

St. Louis Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina had a great game on Monday, finishing 3-for-4 with a home run and a double. He scored twice and also drew a walk. Molina was in a bit of a slump after coming off the disabled list, but Monday's strong game brought his batting average up to .273. He […]

Greg Allen Optioned to Triple-A on Monday

Cleveland Indians outfielder Greg Allen was optioned to Triple-A Columbus on Monday. With Yonder Alonso returning from the family medical emergency list, Allen heads back to Columbus to make room. He only has one hit in his last 33 at bats, so Cleveland likely wants him to get some consistent at bats so he can […]

Cleveland Signs Marc Rzepczynski

The Cleveland Indians signed relief pitcher Marc Rzepczynski to a minor league contract on Monday. He was assigned to Triple-A Columbus. Rzepczynski was released by Seattle after struggling to a 9.39 ERA. He's been a solid lefty specialist in previous seasons, however, and should be able to contribute to the Cleveland bullpen soon.

Yonder Alonso Back on the Active Roster on Monday

Cleveland Indians first baseman Yonder Alonso was activated from the family medical emergency list on Monday. Alonso missed the weekend series against the Twins, but is back for the start of the week. Greg Allen was optioned to Triple-A to make room for Alonso on the active roster.

Melky Cabrera Elects Free Agency

Outfielder Mekly Cabrera elected free agency rather than taking an assignment to Triple-A Columbus with the Cleveland Indians. Cabrera signed a minor league deal with Cleveland but struggled to a .207/.242/.293 batting line and was designated for assignment. He'll hope to latch on as depth with another organization, but might have a hard time finding […]

Luke Voit Optioned to Triple-A on Monday

St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Luke Voit was optioned to Triple-A Memphis on Monday. Voit was up for the weekend series against the Cubs while Jose Martinez was on the paternity leave list. With Martinez returning to the active roster, Voit will return to his starting role in Triple-A.

Jose Martinez Activated from the Paternity List

St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Jose Martinez was activated from the paternity list on Monday. He was out for the weekend series against the Cubs to attend to his daughter's birth in Venezuela. Luke Voit was taking his place on the roster and will be optioned back to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Carlos Carrasco's Elbow Tests Return Encouraging Results

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco underwent tests on his elbow and had everything come back negative. Carrasco had to leave Saturday's start after he was hit by a line drive, but it seems he has avoided any serious injury. He was placed on the 10-day disabled list, and it seems he should be ready […]

Jack Flaherty Throws Five Shutout Innings on Sunday

St. Louis Cardinals rookie starting pitcher Jack Flaherty tossed five scoreless innings on Sunday, allowing just two hits and three walks. He struck out seven. Flaherty didn't get the win, but his team did, as five pitchers combined to shut out the Cubs. Flaherty lowered his ERA to 2.66 and continues to be a must-start […]

Shane Bieber Allows a Hit Parade but Only One Run

Cleveland Indians rookie starting pitcher Shane Bieber missed a quality start by one out, pitching 5 2/3 innings, allowing just one run, but 10 hits and a walk. He struck out seven. Bieber was able to pitch around trouble, but 10 hits and a walk is certainly not a sustainable way to get outs. Bieber […]

Jason Kipnis Out of the Lineup on Sunday

Cleveland Indians second baseman Jason Kipnis is not in Sunday's starting lineup. He's only 2-for-14 since returning from a neck injury, so Sunday is likely a day off to try to get him right. It's been a struggle all season for Kipnis, who may start losing more playing time if Erik Gonzalez continues to play […]

Cody Allen Saves His 13th Game on Thursday

Cleveland Indians closer Cody Allen collected his 13th save of the season on Thursday, recording three strikeouts in a scoreless inning. He did allow a single, but the runner was unable to come around to score. Allen hasn't been perfect this season as shown by his 4.03 ERA, but he's 13-for-14 in save chances and […]

Mike Clevinger Works Seven Strong Innings on Thursday

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Mike Clevinger pitched well on Thursday, allowing two runs (only one earned) on five hits and a walk. He struck out 11 on the afternoon and improved to 5-2. His ERA dropped to 3.15 and he now holds an 80:30 strikeout-to-walk ratio. He's been one of the most pleasant surprises in […]

MLB Closers and Saves Report - Week 12

This week was a much quieter one than last week, at least as far as bullpens around baseball are concerned. While last week saw committee members take over their bullpens at the same time as other committees formed in other cities, this week mostly saw more of the same. The guys who did well last […]

David Irving Hoping to Drop Some Weight Before Week 1

Dallas Cowboys defensive lineman David Irving said he weighs 303 pounds right now, but wants to drop to around 285 pounds before the season starts. Irving went on to say he wants to get back to how he looked when he "was doing that underwear modeling and stuff. Got to get those abs back." Irving […]
