Dare Ogunbowale Has Shot To Be Third-Down Back
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Dare Ogunbowale could open the season as the team's third-down back. Peyton Barber and Ronald Jones II should have a near even split on early downs, but Jones has been unreliable in passing situations. Ogunbowale has, at times, looked like the team's best running back in the preseason and has […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoRedskins Looking To Trade Josh Doctson
The Washington Redskins would like to trade wide receiver Josh Doctson before Week 1. Doctson is in the final year of his contract and has been mostly injured and extremely inconsistent since being taken in the first round in 2016. It makes sense why head coach Jay Gruden was non-committal when asked if Doctson would […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoDwayne Allen Could Be Roster Casualty
Miami Dolphins tight end Dwayne Allen has missed practice all week and has played just 14 snaps in the preseason. He'll need to convince the team he's healthy in order to make the team at this point. Nick O'Leary, Mike Gesicki and Durham Smythe are likely to make the 53-man roster, while Chris Myarick could […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoAllen Hurns Unlikely To Make Roster
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Allen Hurns appears unlikely to make the 53-man roster behind Devante Parker, Kenny Stills, Albert Wilson, Jakeem Grant and Preston Williams. Brice Butler and Isaiah Ford are also on the bubble but have made cases to stick around. Hurns has fallen far since his 1,000-yard season with the Jaguars in 2015. […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoKenyan Drake, Kenny Stills Could Be Dealt
The Miami Dolphins might consider shipping running back Kenyan Drake and wide receiver Kenny Stills to the Texans for pass-rusher Jadeveon Clowney. It's just speculation right now, but Houston is in need of running back healthy after losing Lamar Miller (knee) for the year, and wide receiver Keke Coutee (ankle) might not be ready for […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoMarwin Gonzalez Leaves Early Tuesday
Minnesota Twins utility man Marwin Gonzalez (abdominal) left the game early on Tuesday with an abdominal issue. Gonzalez helped out those that started him before leaving, though, hitting a solo homer in his three plate appearances. The do-it-all utility man is now hitting .263/.323/.420 with 15 home runs, 48 runs and 48 RBI on the […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoKetel Marte Injures Himself On Home Run
Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Ketel Marte (leg) injured himself after a game-tying home run against the Giants on Tuesday and had to be removed from the game. Marte had the solo homer and a single in his three plate appearances before he was forced from the contest. The impressive D-back is hitting .323/.385/.578 with 28 homers, […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoRich Hill Throws Bullpen Tuesday
Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Rich Hill (forearm) threw a 30-pitch bullpen session on Tuesday and mixed in curveballs for the first time since his forearm injury. The Dodgers can afford to take it slow with the veteran left-hander, which is what they've done, but he's expected to return to their rotation in the middle […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoJohnny Cueto To Make One More Rehab Start
San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Johnny Cueto (elbow) will make one more rehab start for Triple-A Sacramento before being activated from the injured list. Cueto has been out all season while recovering from Tommy John surgery last year. While he should be able to make a handful of starts for the Gigantes, he'll be a […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoMiguel Cabrera Injured Tuesday
Detroit Tigers designated hitter Miguel Cabrera (biceps) left the game early as a precaution on Tuesday with left biceps tightness. Cabrera struck out in both of his plate appearances before exiting. This was a precaution, but the Tigers surely won't rush the veteran back into the lineup in a lost season. Miggy has definitely shown […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoLuke Voit On Track To Return Friday
New York Yankees first baseman Luke Voit (hernia) is continuing his rehab assignment with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and remains on track to come off the injured list on Friday for the start of the series against the A's. Voit has been out since late July but should remain stashed in all leagues, as he's been a […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoEdwin Encarnacion Progressing
New York Yankees first baseman/designated hitter Edwin Encarnacion (wrist) hit in the batting cage and did some fielding and throwing drills in New York on Tuesday. Manager Aaron Boone said that Encarnacion will see live pitching in the near future and should be an option to return to the team soon. EE has been out […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoDavid Peralta To Have Season-Ending Surgery
Arizona Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said that outfielder David Peralta (shoulder) will undergo season-ending surgery on his right shoulder. While Peralta certainly didn't live up to expectations after batting .293 and clubbing a career-high 30 homers in 2018, he was still relevant in the majority of fantasy leagues this year with his .275/.343/.461 slash line […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoJustin Turner Suspended One Game
Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner was suspended one game for making contact with the plate umpire on Monday night. Turner is appealing the suspension and can play until the appeal is heard. It doesn't mean much for fantasy owners, but make sure you check back to see when Turner's appeal is heard. The […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoSam Hilliard Recalled By Rockies
Colorado Rockies outfield prospect Sam Hilliard, the team's No. 9 prospect per MLB Pipeline, has been recalled from the minors on Tuesday. The 25-year-old has been tearing it up for Triple-A Albuquerque this year, hitting .262/.335/.558 with a career-high 35 home runs, 101 RBI and 22 stolen bases in 126 games (559 plate appearances). With […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoJoey Votto Back From Injured List
The Cincinnati Reds activated first baseman Joey Votto (back) from the injured list on Tuesday and optioned infielder/outfielder Jose Peraza to Triple-A Louisville in a corresponding move. Votto is hitting second against Marlins left-hander Caleb Smith in his first game back. The 35-year-old has really showed his age this year, hitting an un-Votto like .262/.352/.410 […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoLions Release Zach Zenner
The Detroit Lions released running back Zach Zenner on Tuesday. Kerryon Johnson, C.J. Anderson and rookie Ty Johnson are expected to be the top three on Detroit's depth chart heading into the season opener. The 27-year-old Zenner never saw consistent touches as a depth option in the backfield in his four seasons with the Lions. […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoPatriots Release Maurice Harris
The New England Patriots released wide receiver Maurice Harris (leg) from Injured Reserve on Tuesday with an injury settlement. Harris was impressing the coaching staff early in camp, but his injury ended up costing him a roster spot. He caught a career-high 28 passes for 304 yards and no touchdowns in 12 games with Washington […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoEddie Rosario Returns Tuesday
Minnesota Twins outfielder Eddie Rosario (hamstring) is back in the starting lineup on Tuesday and is in left field and hitting cleanup against White Sox starter Lucas Giolito. Rosario returns to a fine slash line of .282/.307/.515 with 27 long balls, 74 runs scored and 85 RBI in his 439 at-bats. He'll return to a […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoKeon Broxton Suspended Two Games
Seattle Mariners outfielder Keon Broxton was suspended two games for throwing his equipment at umpire Manny Gonzalez on Monday. Broxton is appealing the suspension and can continue playing until the appeal is heard. It's been a tough year all around for Broxton, and he's hitting just .136 (6-for-44) with two homers, five RBI, 27 strikeouts […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoBlake Snell To Throw Bullpen Friday
Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Blake Snell (elbow) threw 10 fastballs on Tuesday and is tentatively scheduled to throw his first bullpen session on Friday. Snell has been out since July 21 and probably won't return to the Rays rotation until the middle of next month, which means you shouldn't count on any fantasy contributions […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoD.K. Metcalf Not Being Ruled Out For Week 1
Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said that rookie wide receiver D.K. Metcalf (knee) is "moving around this week" with hopes of a quick return. The team isn't ruling him for Week 1 yet. There's a chance that Metcalf plays, but if he does, he could have his role limited, making him one to avoid […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoBrian Anderson Doesn't Need Surgery
Miami Marlins third baseman Brian Anderson (finger) will miss the rest of the season but doesn't need surgery on the fractured pinkie finger on his left hand. It's good news and means that Anderson will have plenty of time to be ready for spring training next year. The 26-year-old held his own on a bad […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoAndrew Benintendi Out Again Tuesday
Boston Red Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi (side) is out of the starting lineup for the second straight game Tuesday. Benintendi's injury isn't believed to be that serious, so consider him day-to-day for now and get him out of your lineups. J.D. Martinez is in left field and is hitting cleanup against Rockies starter Rico Garcia. […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoNiko Goodrum Out 10-14 Days
Detroit Tigers infielder Niko Goodrum (groin) was diagnosed with an adductor strain after visiting with core muscle specialist Dr. William Meyers, and he's expected to be out 10 to 14 days, according to manager Ron Gardenhire. That pretty much guarantees that Goodrum will no longer be of use in single-year fantasy formats the rest of […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoLourdes Gurriel Getting Closer
The Toronto Blue Jays expect infielder Lourdes Gurriel (quadriceps) to play in rehab games by early next week. The talented 25-year-old has been out since Aug. 10 and should be able to return early next month. He has been attractive in all fantasy leagues while hitting .279/.331/.548 with 19 home runs, 50 runs, 47 RBI […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoEzekiel Ansah Returns To Practice
Seattle Seahawks defensive end Ezekiel Ansah (groin, shoulder) practiced on Tuesday for the first time since signing with the team in May. There's a good chance that he'll be available in Week 1. The Seahawks need Ansah's help bad on a defensive line that doesn't have any standout players. The problem is that Ansah is […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoSean Doolittle Could Return This Weekend
Washington Nationals closer Sean Doolittle (knee) is progressing and will throw a simulated game on Wednesday. He's hoping to be activated from the injured list in time for the series against the Marlins this weekend. Doolittle was struggling mightily before landing on the shelf, but hopefully for his fantasy owners this little break can get […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoDolphins Interested In Jadeveon Clowney
The Miami Dolphins are very interested in trading for Houston Texans pass-rusher Jadeveon Clowney, according to league sources. However, it remains to be seen if Clowney would be interested in playing for the Dolphins. He prefers the Seahawks and Eagles as potential destinations. The 26-year-old remains an unsigned franchise player, and he's running out of […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoJosh Doctson Not A Lock To Make Final Roster
Washington Redskins head coach Jay Gruden was non-committal on whether wide receiver Josh Doctson would make the final roster. Doctson will not play in the preseason finale on Thursday either. The team has been high on receivers Paul Richardson, Trey Quinn and rookies Terry McLaurin and Kelvin Harmon. Cam Sims and Robert Davis missed most […]
