Cowboys Sign Kony Ealy

The Dallas Cowboys have agreed to terms on a one-year contract with free-agent defensive end Kony Ealy. Ealy was a second-round pick in 2014. He played for the New York Jets last season after being waived by New England, recording just one sack in 452 snaps played. He was able to generate pressure at a […]

MLB Closers and Saves Report - Week 1

Baseball is back! With Opening Day just over a week in our rear view mirrors, it's time to take a look at bullpens around the league and see what's going on. For those of you who followed along with us last season, welcome back! For those of you just dropping by for the first time, […]

Luke Gregerson Throws a Bullpen Session on Thursday

St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher Luke Gregerson (hamstring) threw a bullpen session on Thursday and will begin a rehab assignment with the Single-A Palm Beach Cardinals soon. Gregerson has had a painful spring which started with an oblique injury and then ended up with a hamstring strain. While Gregerson was at first considered the favorite […]

Jose Martinez Gets the Start at First Base on Thursday

St. Louis Cardinals infielder Jose Martinez is getting the start at first base and batting fifth in Thursday's lineup. With regular third baseman Jedd Gyorko on the disabled list with a hamstring injury, Matt Carpenter is playing second base and Yairo Munoz is at third. Martinez can flat out hit and should be owned in […]

Marcell Ozuna Gets Two Hits and Drives in a Run on Wednesday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Marcell Ozuna finished Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers 2-for-4 with a run scored and an RBI. The former Marlin is off to a decent start, hitting .269. His fantasy owners will expect him to improve on his .692 OPS, though. Ozuna is a streaky hitter, but hitting cleanup in a […]

Yadier Molina Cranks Another Home Run on Wednesday

St. Louis Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina hit another home run on Wednesday, finishing the game 1-for-3 with two RBI. Molina's third home run of the season came in the fourth inning. He's hitting .261 with a .932 OPS so far, numbers his fantasy owners will certainly take from the veteran backstop.

Carlos Martinez Dominates the Brewers on Wednesday

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Carlos Martinez dominated the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday, tossing 8 1/3 scoreless innings while allowing four hits and two walks, striking out 10. Martinez was lifted after 114 pitches. A complete game would have been nice, but fantasy owners were thrilled enough to see him bounce back from a rough […]

Cody Allen Contributes Two Scoreless Innings on Wednesday

Cleveland Indians closer Cody Allen pitched two scoreless innings on Wednesday, allowing two hits and striking out one. There wasn't a save situation for Allen in this one, but he came in and did his job, keeping the game tied. He's a streaky pitcher who will lose the strike zone at times, but he has […]

Corey Kluber Tosses Seven Strong Innings on Wednesday

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Corey Kluber pitched seven strong innings on Wednesday against the Los Angeles Angels. He allowed two runs on three hits and two walks, striking out six. Kluber's ERA moved to 2.40 with the outing. He's been strong out of the gate this season and should continue to be one of the […]

Jose Ramirez Goes Hitless Again on Wednesday

Cleveland Indians infielder Jose Ramirez finished Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Angels 0-for-5 with a walk. At least he got on base, right? Ramirez smacked a home run on Tuesday for his first hit of the season, lending some hope that he'd break out of his season-opening slump. It didn't happen on Wednesday, as […]

Francisco Lindor Records Two Hits on Wednesday

Cleveland Indians shortstop Francisco Lindor knocked two singles on Wednesday, finishing up the game 2-for-6 with two runs scored. It's been a slow start for the stellar shortstop, who is hitting just .192 on the young season. He's due for a hot streak soon, and Wednesday was a good start.

Richard Rodgers Signs With Eagles

The Philadelphia Eagles signed free-agent tight end Richard Rodgers to a one-year contract on Wednesday. Rodgers flashed some upside as a Green Bay Packer a few seasons ago but hasn't done much since then. He'll likely take on the role vacated by Trey Burton, working as the pass-catching complement to superstar tight end Zach Ertz. […]

Adam Wainwright To Start Thursday's Game

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Adam Wainwright (hamstring) will come off the disabled list to start Thursday's game. Rookie Jack Flaherty was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move despite his excellent start on Tuesday. Wainwright will start the Cardinals' home opener, but with Flaherty showing well in his one turn, Wainwright may not have […]

Jack Flaherty Optioned to Triple-A

St. Louis Cardinals rookie pitcher Jack Flaherty was optioned to Triple-A Memphis on Wednesday to make room for Adam Wainwright (hamstring), who is coming off the disabled list. Flaherty was dominant in his start on Tuesday, allowing one run and striking out nine Milwaukee Brewers in five innings. The rookie will be back up as […]

Michael Brantley Will Be Activated On Friday

Cleveland Indians outfielder Michael Brantley (ankle) will be activated from the disabled list in time for Friday's home opener in Cleveland. Brantley underwent surgery in the offseason to stabilize his ankle and needed a few more days to fully recover after Spring Training ended. He's a huge injury risk, but has always been effective when […]

Tommy Pham Knocks Three Hits on Tuesday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tommy Pham finished Tuesday's game 3-for-5 with a home run, a stolen base, and two runs scored. Pham is hitting .368/.478/.579 through the first five games of the season. He's following up a breakout 2017 with a start that is showing everyone his breakout was not a fluke. He's one of […]

Dexter Fowler Leads Off Tuesday's Game With a Home Run

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Dexter Fowler led off Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers with a home run. He ended up 2-for-5 on the game, but is hitting just .130/.167/.261 through the first five games of the season. He's off to a slow start, but he should be able to put it together soon and […]

Jack Flaherty Flashes His Upside on Tuesday

St. Louis Cardinals rookie starting pitcher Jack Flaherty showed his upside on Tuesday night, tossing five innings while allowing just one run on six hits and a walk and striking out nine. Flaherty was supposed to be holding Adam Wainwright's spot in the rotation only until Wainwright came back from a hamstring injury, but with […]

Jose Ramirez's First Hit of 2018 Is a Home Run

Cleveland Indians infielder Jose Ramirez finally recorded his first hit of the season on Tuesday night, blasting a two-run home run against the Los Angeles Angels. It was Ramirez's only hit on the night, raising his batting average from .000 to .056. The two RBI were his first two of the year as well. Off […]

Josh Tomlin Gets Hit Hard by the Angels

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Josh Tomlin pitched terribly on Tuesday, allowing eight runs on eight hits and a walk while lasting just three innings against the Los Angeles Angels. Tomlin almost matched the number of runs he allowed to the number of outs he got. He gave up home runs to Shohei Ohtani, Mike Trout, […]

Cardinals Call Up Harrison Bader

The St. Louis Cardinals called up outfielder Harrison Bader from Triple-A Memphis to take the roster spot of Jedd Gyorko, who was placed on the 10-day disabled list. Bader hit .235/.283/.376 with three homers and 10 RBI over 92 plate appearances last season and will serve as a reserve outfielder and right-handed pinch hitter while […]

Jedd Gyorko Lands on the Disabled List

St. Louis Cardinals infielder Jedd Gyorko was placed on the 10-day disabled list with a right hamstring strain. Gyorko was forced to leave Monday's game and will now be forced to miss at least 10 more days. He missed two weeks last season with a similar injury, but most signs are pointing toward this one […]

Eagles Sign Paul Worrilow

The Philadelphia Eagles signed linebacker Paul Worrilow to a one-year deal. Worrilow spent last season with the Detroit Lions after spending most of his career in Atlanta. He recorded 30 tackles while playing 274 snaps in 2017 and will serve as a rotational linebacker for the Eagles in 2018.

Jose Ramirez Walks Twice But Still Hasn't Recorded a Hit

Cleveland Indians infielder Jose Ramirez walked twice on Monday, but finished 0-for-3 on the evening in a game against the Los Angeles Angels. He's started the season out 0-for-15 and is sporting a .000 batting average. Players will go through similar slumps throughout the course of the season, it's just a little harder to look […]

Yonder Alonso Hits a Home Run on Monday

Cleveland Indians first baseman Yonder Alonso hit his second home run on the season on Monday against the Los Angeles Angels. Alonso is getting on base at a .412 clip and slugging .786. He'll cool down eventually, of course, but it has been an excellent start to the season and to his Cleveland career. He's […]

Edwin Encarnacion's Third Home Run of the Season Stays in the Park

Cleveland Indians designated hitter Edwin Encarnacion hit an inside-the-park home run on Monday, his third home run of the season. Encarnacion benefited from a nice bounce and some not-so-nice defense from Angels left fielder Justin Upton. Encarnacion was able to motor around the bases and scored standing up. He's on pace for another power-filled season, […]

Mike Clevinger Tosses a Strong Five-Plus Innings in His 2018 Debut

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Mike Clevinger tossed a solid 5 1/3 innings on Monday, allowing no runs on four hits and two walks while striking out five. Clevinger made some of the best Angels hitters look silly, including a three-pitch (all fastballs) strikeout of Mike Trout. Clevinger was lifted in the sixth inning after tossing […]

Michael Brantley Scheduled to Play in Extended Spring Training

Cleveland Indians outfielder Michael Brantley (ankle) is scheduled to play in an extended spring training game on Tuesday. Assuming all goes well in the last few steps of Brantley's rehab early this week, he could rejoin the team in time for the home opener on Friday. Brantley has missed extended time due to injuries in […]

Greg Holland Set to Join the Cardinals Bullpen Next Week

St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher Greg Holland is set to join the Cardinals bullpen next Monday. He threw to live hitters on Monday and is scheduled to pitch in minor league games on Thursday and Saturday. Assuming those outings go well, Holland will be activated on Monday and will presumably jump right into the closer's […]

Dexter Fowler Records His First Hit of the Season

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Dexter Fowler recorded his first hit of the season on Monday. He also knocked in his first run on the young season. All players will go through slumps throughout the course of the long MLB season, but it always looks worse when the slump starts off the year because you end […]
