Blaine Gabbert Expected To Start Against Jaguars
Tennessee Titans quarterback Blaine Gabbert is expected to start again in Week 3 against the Jaguars despite Marcus Mariota (elbow) being active, according to sources. The Titans are still hoping Mariota can regain feel in his right hand in order to grip the football properly as soon as possible. This is basically the same as […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoMarcus Mariota Active Sunday
Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota (elbow) is active for Week 3 against the Jaguars. Right tackle Jack Conklin (knee), running back David Fluellen and wide receiver Nick Williams are among the inactives for Tennessee. While Mariota saw some improvement this week in practice, he still might sit on the sidelines in favor of Blaine Gabbert […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoRedskins Release Breshad Perriman
The Washington Redskins released wide receiver Breshad Perriman on Saturday, according to a source. However, the team could bring him back in the future. Perriman was a first-round bust with the Ravens and has failed to catch on elsewhere so far. He is well off the fantasy radar and is highly unlikely to produce at […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoErik Swoope Added To Roster
The Indianapolis Colts promoted tight end Erik Swoope from the practice squad to the active roster on Saturday and waived cornerback Lenzy Pipkins in a corresponding move. The team also signed quarterback Phillip Walker to the practice squad. Swoope caught one pass for 13 yards in the season opener against the Bengals. He's merely depth […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoFrancisco Cervelli Leaves With Stomach Pain
Pittsburgh Pirates catcher Francisco Cervelli (stomach) left the game early on Friday with gastrointestinal discomfort. Cervelli had a hit and run scored in two plate appearances before leaving. The backstop has missed time with concussions this year, so thankfully this is something that should have him back in the lineup soon. Cervelli is batting .256/.376/.419 […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoCramping Ends Kolten Wong's Night Early
St. Louis Cardinals second baseman Kolten Wong left the game early on Friday due to cramping. Wong had two singles and two RBI in three plate appearances before departing. He has spent several stints on the disabled list this year due to various ailments and is hitting .251/.333/.391 with only nine home runs, 38 RBI […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoAustin Voth To Start Saturday, Tanner Roark To Go Wednesday
Washington Nationals pitcher Austin Voth will make the start on Saturday against the Mets instead of starter Tanner Roark, according to manager Dave Martinez. Roark has been on paternity leave all week, so they don't want to rush him back. He is likely to make his next start on Wednesday against the Marlins. Voth has […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoJosh Rosen Could Make Debut This Sunday
Arizona Cardinals head coach Steve Wilks said it's "hard to determine" when the right time to play rookie quarterback Josh Rosen is, but ESPN's Josh Weinfuss would not be surprised if Rosen sees the field this Sunday against the Bears if the offense under Sam Bradford continues to struggle. The Cardinals have just one touchdown […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoReshad Jones Expected To Play
Miami Dolphins safety Reshad Jones (shoulder), who is questionable for Week 3 against the Raiders, is expected to play on Sunday. Jones is one of the more attractive IDP safeties in the league and has six tackles and two interceptions through two weeks. If he's on the field, it'll be a downgrade for Raiders quarterback […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoKenyan Drake, DeVante Parker, Ryan Tannehill Off Injury Report
Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake (abdomen), wide receiver Devante Parker (finger) and quarterback Ryan Tannehill (ankle, knee) all practiced in full on Friday and have been removed from the Week 3 injury report against the Raiders. Drake will be the starting running back and is a strong RB2 against a weak Raiders front. Tannehill […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoEvan Engram Removed From Injury Report
New York Giants tight end Evan Engram (ankle) and wide receiver Kaelin Clay (ankle) practiced in full on Friday and were removed from the final injury report for Week 3 against the Texans. Engram has nine catches on 12 targets for 85 yards and a touchdown in two weeks and is a strong TE1 option […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoCase Keenum Not On Injury Report
Denver Broncos quarterback Case Keenum (knee) practiced in full on Friday and was removed from the final Week 3 injury report against the Ravens. Keenum doesn't have a very high fantasy ceiling despite the team being 2-0, and he's thrown more interceptions than touchdowns through two weeks. The matchup against Baltimore isn't very enticing either, […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoJi-Man Choi Injured Friday
Tampa Bay Rays first baseman Ji-Man Choi (knee) left the game early on Friday with left knee soreness. Choi was productive before leaving, posting two hits (one double) and two runs scored in three plate appearances. The left-handed slugger is a part-time player for Tampa and is hitting .267/.350/.513 with 10 home runs and 32 […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoTrevor Story Could Be Back In 2-3 More Days
Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story (elbow) remained out of the starting lineup on Friday against the Diamondbacks, but the good news is that manager Bud Black said the superstar might only be out two or three more games. The All-Star shortstop missed two games in Los Angeles after hurting his right elbow while diving and […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoLogan Forsythe Dealing With Knee Issue
Minnesota Twins second baseman Logan Forsythe (knee) was out of the starting lineup on Friday after he woke up and his left knee "was not functioning correctly," according to manager Paul Molitor. It doesn't sound particularly encouraging, but we'll have to wait and see how much time he might miss. Forsythe did very little with […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoEddie Rosario Unlikely To Play Again This Year
Minnesota Twins outfielder Eddie Rosario (quadriceps), whose MRI exam showed inflammation, is "fairly unlikely" to play again this season, according to manager Paul Molitor. Rosario limped to the finish line but had a great season overall, hitting .288/.323/.479 with 24 home runs, 77 RBI, 87 runs scored and eight stolen bases in 138 games. You […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoJose Peraza Was Scratched Friday
Cincinnati Reds infielder Jose Peraza (illness) was scratched from the starting lineup on Friday due to illness. Dilson Herrera hit second, while Blake Trahan filled in at shortstop and hit eighth. Peraza has been great for fantasy owners this year, hitting .290/.328/.419 with 13 home runs, 56 RBI, 84 runs scored and 23 stolen bases. […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoEarl Thomas May Not Play Sunday
Seattle Seahawks free safety Earl Thomas missed practice on Friday due to personal reasons, and head coach Pete Carroll wouldn't say if Thomas would be available for Week 3 against the Cowboys. Dallas and Seattle discussed a potential trade of Thomas all offseason, but Seattle's price was always too high. It's unclear if Thomas actually […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoHector Velazquez Likely To Start Sunday
Boston Red Sox starter Hector Velazquez is likely to start on Sunday against the Indians. Velazquez has been pretty good this year with a 3.19 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 49 strikeouts in 79 innings over 43 outings (seven starts). However, he hasn't been as effective as a starter (4.00 ERA, 1.63 WHIP, 6.7 K/9) as […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoChris Sale Set To Go Five Innings Friday
Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Chris Sale is scheduled to go five innings or 75 pitches against the Indians on Friday. Sale is slowly getting stretched out after coming off a left shoulder injury. Even with less than a full workload on Friday, Sale is a fine starting option against a team that doesn't really […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoBuck Showalter To Be Let Go
Baltimore Orioles manager Buck Showalter is expected to be dismissed by the team at the end of the season. General manager Dan Duquette is expected to receive a contract extension. The Orioles are far and away the worst team in baseball in 2018 and are in the middle of a full-on rebuild, so they will […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoJames Paxton Hopes To Start Monday Or Tuesday
Seattle Mariners starting pitcher James Paxton (illness) is throwing a full bullpen session on Friday and is hoping he can start either Monday or Tuesday against the A's. If Paxton goes on Monday, there's a chance he could make two starts two finish out what has been a fine season for him. However, the left-hander […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoLance McCullers Jr. Could Be Activated Monday
Houston Astros starting pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. (forearm) threw a successful simulated game in Florida on Friday and will rejoin the team. The earliest he will be activated from the disabled list will be on Monday, according to manager A.J. Hinch. McCullers hasn't pitched in the big leagues since Aug. 4, so he'll pitch out […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoCarlos Correa To Miss Rest Of Homestand
Houston Astros shortstop Carlos Correa (back) will be shut down for the rest of the homestand due to lingering back soreness. He will accompany the team on the road trip and will resume playing then, according to manager A.J. Hinch. Since returning from his initial back injury on Aug. 10, Correa is hitting just .174/.257/.223 […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoTanner Roark's Next Start Undecided
Washington Nationals starting pitcher Tanner Roark, who has been away from the team the last four days to be with his pregnant wife, still does not know if he will make the start on Saturday against the Mets. It'd surely be a good matchup for those owners still looking to stream this late in the […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoAdam Eaton Out With Knee Issues
Washington Nationals outfielder Adam Eaton (knee) has been out of the lineup of late because of an aching left knee. With the Nationals not making the playoffs, there's no reason to push Eaton the rest of the way. Instead, the team will likely want to get a look at outfield prospect Victor Robles, who is […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoAlex Cobb Feeling Better
Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Alex Cobb (finger) said the blister on his finger is feeling much better, and he'll throw a light bullpen session on Friday. Cobb is optimistic that he can make another start before the end of the season. The blister issue has limited Cobb of late, but he's been fantastic in the […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoVictor Martinez To Play In Final Game Saturday
Detroit Tigers designated hitter Victor Martinez will play in the final game of his career this Saturday. He will not be in the lineup on Sunday. He will travel with the team on their road trip to close out the year next week but will not play. It's been an illustrious career for V-Mart, but […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoMark Barron Doubtful For Week 3
Los Angeles Rams linebacker Mark Barron (ankle) did not practice all week and is doubtful for Week 3 against the Chargers. Barron has yet to play this year but will attempt to make it back in time for Week 4. Without him in the middle it makes the Rams weak, but they more than make […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoRichard Sherman Will Play Sunday
San Francisco 49ers cornerback Richard Sherman (heel) practiced in full on Friday and is no longer on the final injury report for Week 3 against the Chiefs. It's good news, as the team might be without safety Jaquiski Tartt (shoulder) against a high-flying Chiefs offense this Sunday.
