Jack Flaherty Pitches Well in a No-Decision
St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Jack Flaherty pitched well on Tuesday, tossing 5 2/3 innings of one-run ball, allowing five hits and a walk while striking out three. It was an overall good outing for Flaherty, even though he didn't rack up the strikeouts like he's capable. With Adam Wainwright looking like he might be […]

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Carlos Martinez (lat) will undergo a follow-up MRI on his strained lat muscle.

David A Marcillo 7 years agoLuke Gregerson Placed Back on the Disabled List
St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher Luke Gregerson was placed back on the disabled list on Wednesday due to a shoulder impingement. Gregerson began the season on the DL with a hamstring strain, came back to post an ugly 8.64 ERA in 12 outings, and will now head back to the shelf, this time with the […]

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Josh Tomlin worked 5 1/3 innings on Tuesday, leaving with a no-decision. He allowed four runs on six hits on the evening, walking none and striking out four.

Cleveland Indians outfielder Brandon Guyer smashed a grand slam in the first inning of Tuesday's game against the Detroit Tigers. He went hitless in his next four at-bats, but his fantasy owners certainly didn't mind. Guyer is a solid platoon player who could be an asset for savvy owners in deep leagues with daily lineups […]
David A Marcillo 7 years agoCleveland Re-Signs Matt Belisle
The Cleveland Indians re-signed relief pitcher Matt Belisle to a minor league contract. Belisle was with Cleveland to start the season, but after posting a 5.06 ERA in 10 2/3 innings, he was designated for assignment and elected free agency once he cleared waivers. Seemingly unable to find a better opportunity, he re-signed with the […]
David A Marcillo 7 years agoEagles Sign LaRoy Reynolds
The Philadelphia Eagles signed free-agent linebacker LaRoy Reynolds on Tuesday. Reynolds played in nine games for the Atlanta Falcons last season and served as a decent depth piece there. He will have a much harder time finding playing time on the Eagles solid defense, but he may end up a member of the special teams […]
David A Marcillo 7 years agoBrandon Graham Recovering from Ankle Surgery
Philadelphia Eagles defensive lineman Brandon Graham is recovering from ankle surgery. Graham had a clean-up procedure for a high ankle sprain he suffered in Week 16.

David A Marcillo 7 years agoEdwin Encarnacion Back in the Lineup for Wednesday's Game
Cleveland Indians designated hitter Edwin Encarnacion (back, neck) is back in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game.

He's back in there on Wednesday, batting fifth and serving as the team's […]
David A Marcillo 7 years agoMatt Carpenter Back in the Lineup for Tuesday's Series Opener
St. Louis Cardinals infielder Matt Carpenter is back in the starting lineup for Tuesday's series opener against the Minnesota Twins. Carpenter was on the bench for the entire weekend series against the San Diego Padres so that he'd have a chance to work on his swing. He's hitting just .145/.294/.282 so far this season, and […]
David A Marcillo 7 years agoDexter Fowler Not in Tuesday's Starting Lineup
St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Dexter Fowler is not in Tuesday's starting lineup. He's struggled his way to a .146/.257/.285 line so far this season. He was out of the lineup on Sunday as well, as Harrison Bader has been playing well and will get another start to open up the series against the Minnesota Twins. […]
David A Marcillo 7 years agoBradley Zimmer Placed on the Disabled List
Cleveland Indians outfielder Bradley Zimmer was placed on the disabled list with a left rib contusion. Zimmer got hurt a week ago while making a play in the outfield, but he was trying to play through it. He'd only made one start since the injury, so he'll head to the 10-day disabled list to allow […]
David A Marcillo 7 years agoJack Flaherty Called Up to Make Tuesday's Start
St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Jack Flaherty was called up from Triple-A Memphis to make Tuesday's start. Flaherty is taking the rotation spot of the injured Adam Wainwright (elbow), and he should have a chance to keep the job for a while if he performs well. Flaherty is worth picking up in most fantasy formats, […]
David A Marcillo 7 years agoCarlos Carrasco Works a Quality Start But Takes a Loss
Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco picked up a quality start on Monday but took the loss. He allowed three runs on six hits and two walks in 6 2/3 innings, striking out four.

David A Marcillo 7 years agoAlex Reyes Has Another Extremely Impressive Rehab Start
St. Louis Cardinals right-handed pitcher Alex Reyes (elbow) had another extremely impressive minor league rehab start on Monday, striking out 12 batters while tossing five innings and allowing just one hit and two walks. He reportedly touched 101 mph with his fastball and was sitting comfortably in the upper-90s. He was pitching for the Single-A […]
David A Marcillo 7 years agoCleveland to Make a DL Decision on Bradley Zimmer
Cleveland Indians outfielder Bradley Zimmer (chest) will work out on Monday, and the results of that workout will determine if he will be placed on the 10-day disabled list. Zimmer has only started one game in the past week since he bruised his chest colliding against the outfield wall. The workout will determine if Zimmer […]

Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Derek Barnett underwent sports hernia surgery right after the Super Bowl. He's expected to be at 100 percent and will be completely ready to go for Week 1.

David A Marcillo 7 years agoTavon Austin to Get Work as a Receiver?
Dallas Cowboys new acquisition Tavon Austin will get most of his work as a receiver, according to offensive coordinator Scott Linehan. "We’ll use him for a lot of things, but he’s a receiver first," Linehan said. "Some of his skill set is as an outside receiver, but he can move around." Earlier reports stated the […]

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Adam Wainwright returned from the disabled list on Sunday and struggled mightily, pitching just 2 1/3 innings while allowing two runs on three hits and six walks.

David A Marcillo 7 years agoRyan Merritt Shut Down From Throwing
Cleveland Indians left-handed pitcher Ryan Merritt is dealing with several injuries, including issues with his knee and his shoulder. Merritt started the season on the disabled list due to his surgically-repaired knee, but recently added shoulder inflammation to his injury list.

David A Marcillo 7 years agoYan Gomes Gets Four Hits on Sunday

It was the biggest game of the season so far for Gomes, who saw his line move up to .266/.343/.479. Always considered a defense-first catcher, […]
David A Marcillo 7 years agoFrancisco Lindor Has a Huge Game on Saturday
Cleveland Indians shortstop Francisco Lindor had an excellent Saturday, going 4-for-4 with two home runs and two doubles. Unfortunately, all four of his hits came with the bases empty, so even though he recorded 12 total bases, he only picked up two RBI. His batting average jumped to .311 and after a slow start to […]

David A Marcillo 7 years agoTyler Olson Placed on Paternity Leave
Cleveland Indians relief pitcher Tyler Olson was placed on the paternity leave list on Friday. He'll miss the weekend series against the Kansas City Royals. This transaction allowed Cleveland to activate Andrew Miller from the disabled list, but it is only a temporary fix. With a 6.75 ERA in 15 games, Olson might be the […]
David A Marcillo 7 years agoBradley Zimmer Out of Friday's Starting Lineup
Cleveland Indians outfielder Bradley Zimmer is not in Friday's starting lineup. Zimmer missed a couple of games earlier this week due to shoulder and hip issues, but he was back in there on Wednesday. Greg Allen will get the start in center field. Zimmer should be back in there on Saturday.
David A Marcillo 7 years agoAndrew Miller Activated From the Disabled List
Cleveland Indians relief pitcher Andrew Miller (hamstring) was activated from the disabled list on Friday. A strained hamstring cost Miller a couple of weeks, but he should be back to being one of baseball's best relievers right away. The Cleveland bullpen struggled a bit without him, so it won't just be fantasy owners that are […]

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said that quarterback Carson Wentz (knee) will be "ready when he's ready." Pederson went on to explain that the team would not be rushing Wentz back in his recovery from a torn ACL. He did add, "Right now, we’re encouraged with the progress he’s making."
