Josh Reddick Injured Monday
Houston Astros outfielder Josh Reddick (ankle) left the game early on Monday with right ankle discomfort. Reddick was hitless in his lone plate appearance before departing the contest. The left-handed hitter actually has reverse splits this year, hitting .280 against lefties and just .223 against right-handers. Overall, he's hitting .240/.312/.391 with 15 homers, 44 RBI […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoEddie Rosario Aggravates Quad Injury
Minnesota Twins outfielder Eddie Rosario (quadriceps) aggravated his quad injury on Monday and was forced from the game. The good news is that Rosario hit a solo home run in three plate appearances before leaving. The bad news is that this is an injury that has kept Rosario from playing recently and could force him […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoAdam Frazier Injures Knee Monday
Pittsburgh Pirates infielder/outfielder Adam Frazier (knee) left the game early with a knee injury on Monday. Frazier fouled a ball off his knee, stayed in the game and doubled before leaving the game. He had two hits, including the double, a run scored, two RBI and a walk in three plate appearances before leaving. The […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoGreg Zuerlein To Miss A Few Weeks
Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said that kicker Greg Zuerlein (groin) will be out "at least a few weeks." Zuerlein has one of the strongest legs in the game and kicks for one of the best offenses in the league, so his absence will be felt by the Rams and his fantasy owners. […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoMatt Andriese To Start Tuesday
Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Matt Andriese will start against the Cubs on Tuesday. Andriese has made four starts this year, but all four came with the Rays, and he has not started a game since July 4. That means that Andriese probably won't stay in this game for more than a few innings. He has a […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoAaron Judge Won't Return To Lineup Tuesday
New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (wrist) had no issues after taking part in a simulated game on Monday, but he won't return to the starting lineup on Tuesday against the Red Sox. Wednesday could be the day that the slugger returns for the first time since fracturing his wrist in late July. Judge is […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoRedskins Signing Michael Floyd
The Washington Redskins are signing free-agent wide receiver Michael Floyd on Monday, according to a source. Washington clearly isn't happy with the production they are getting from Jamison Crowder, Josh Doctson and Paul Richardson, so they are bringing in some competition/depth. They also added former first-rounder Breshad Perriman on Monday. Floyd didn't make final cuts […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoBroncos Sticking With Hot Hand In Backfield
Denver Broncos head coach Vance Joseph said he isn't considering starting rookie running back Phillip Lindsay after he has impressed in the first two weeks. “No, because it doesn’t matter. Our deal with that room is more of gameplan. It’s what they do best. It’s more of who has the hot hand that day," Joseph […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoZane Gonzalez Dealt With Groin Injury
Former Cleveland Browns kicker Zane Gonzalez (groin) had been kicking with a groin injury that required an MRI exam on Monday, according to a source. The Browns wound up releasing Gonzalez and signing Greg Joseph on Monday. The groin issue might help explain why Gonzalez missed two field goals and two extra points in the […]

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry (knee) and tight end Seth DeValve (hamstring) were on the injury report for Week 3 on Monday. DeValve didn't practice, while Landry was limited. The Browns didn't actually conduct a practice, so the report was an estimation. Landry's knee issue isn't believed to be serious and shouldn't keep him […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoShaquill Griffin Active On Monday
Seattle Seahawks cornerback Shaquill Griffin (thigh) is active for Week 2 against the Bears on Monday night. However, cornerback Tre Flowers (hamstring) and linebackers Bobby Wagner (groin) and K.J. Wright (knee) are out. Seattle's defense was already weak coming into this game, and they are very vulnerable all over, which is great news for Bears […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoBud Norris Unavailable On Monday
St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher Bud Norris (finger) is unavailable out of the bullpen on Monday so that he can let the skin on his right middle finger heal. Norris was the closer for most of the season, but he recently lost his job while going through a rough patch while dealing with a hip […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoSean Reid-Foley To Make At Least One More Start
Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Sean Reid-Foley will make at least one more start before the end of the season. The team is monitoring his innings, and he's currently at 155 2/3 for the season. Reid-Foley has a 5.54 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and nice 11.1 K/9 over five starts in the majors this season. The […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoTomas Nido Has Earned More Starts
New York Mets manager Mickey Callaway said catcher Tomas Nido has earned more starts down the stretch. Nido is more of a defense-first backstop and is slashing only .178/.208/.260 with a home run and eight RBI in 73 at-bats for the Mets in 2018. He can continue being ignored in fantasy leagues.
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoAnthony Alford Called Up Monday
The Toronto Blue Jays called up outfield prospect Anthony Alford from the minors on Monday. The team's No. 5 prospect hit just .238/.314/.339 with five home runs, 36 RBI and 17 steals between Single-A Dunedin and Triple-A Buffalo in the minors this year. It's unlikely he'll see enough playing time down the stretch to be […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoBrandon Drury Doubtful To Return This Year
Toronto Blue Jays infielder Brandon Drury (hand) is "doubtful" to return before the end of the season despite ditching his removable brace. He will begin hitting and fielding in the near future, and the Blue Jays are hoping to make his offseason a normal one. It's been a lost season for Drury, who has played […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoLarry Fitzgerald Will Be Monitored In Practice
Arizona Cardinals head coach Steve Wilks said that wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald (hamstring) will be monitored in practice this week, but Wilks knows that Fitzgerald wants to play in Week 3 against the Bears. Despite being 35 years old, Fitz was a WR2 coming into the season. However, Arizona's poor offense and weak quarterback play […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoMaikel Franco Expected To Return In 3-4 Days
Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Maikel Franco (shoulder) is still sore from falling into the camera well last week while attempting to make a catch in foul territory, but he is making progress and has been hitting in the cages. Franco is expected to be ready to play again in three to four days. He's been […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoGerrit Cole Pushed Back, Josh James Starting Tuesday
Houston Astros starting pitcher Gerrit Cole, who was initially scheduled to pitch on Tuesday, is being pushed back to Friday against the Angels. The Astros are trying to get their rotation set up for the postseason. Not only does this give Cole some extra rest, but it's also a better matchup for his fantasy owners. […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoNo Practice For Neal Sterling On Monday
New York Mets tight end Neal Sterling (concussion) did not practice on Monday. Sterling didn't have a catch in the Week 2 loss to the Dolphins and has three catches for 27 yards on the season. On a short week, Sterling may be unlikely to play against the Browns this Thursday. New York's tight end […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoBrowns Sign Rod Streater
The Cleveland Browns signed free-agent wide receiver Rod Streater on Monday. The sixth-year pro didn't play at all last season but had 18 catches for 191 yards and two touchdowns in 2016 with the 49ers. He'll provide depth behind Jarvis Landry, rookie Antonio Callaway and Rashard Higgins after the team traded Josh Gordon to the […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoRedskins Signing Breshad Perriman
The Washington Redskins are signing free-agent wide receiver Breshad Perriman on Monday, according to a source. Perriman proved to be a first-round bust after catching 43 passes for 576 yards and three touchdowns after being taken in the 2015 draft for the Ravens. He's unlikely to become fantasy relevant and will be buried on Washington's […]

Pittsburgh Pirates catcher Francisco Cervelli (illness) has been scratched from the starting lineup on Monday with flu-like symptoms. Jacob Stallings is replacing him behind the plate and is batting eighth against Royals starter Brad Keller. Stallings is a desperation catching option in DFS on Monday.
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoJoey Gallo Scratched From Lineup Monday
Texas Rangers outfielder Joey Gallo (toe) was scratched from the starting lineup on Monday with a bruised right toe after he fouled a ball off his foot in San Diego. Willie Calhoun will replace him in left field and hit sixth against Rays starter Tyler Glasnow. Calhoun isn't a bad DFS choice as a cheaper […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoJames Paxton Unsure When He'll Rejoin Rotation
Seattle Mariners starting pitcher James Paxton (illness), who has been battling a combination of the flu and pneumonia, is with the team in Houston but is unsure when he will rejoin the rotation.

Keith Hernandez 6 years agoMitch Garver Still Dealing With Concussion Symptoms
Minnesota Twins catcher Mitch Garver (head) is still dealing with concussion symptoms after taking a foul tip off his mask last Wednesday.

Keith Hernandez 6 years agoChance Sisco Still In Concussion Protocol
Baltimore Orioles catcher Chance Sisco (head) remains in the concussion protocol and is unavailable to play on Monday.

Keith Hernandez 6 years agoMiguel Sano Could Return Tuesday
Minnesota Twins third baseman Miguel Sano (knee) is available off the bench on Monday and could start at third base on Tuesday, according to manager Paul Molitor. Sano hasn't played since Sept. 4.

Keith Hernandez 6 years agoTouki Toussaint To Start Wednesday
Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Touki Toussaint will make the start on Wednesday against the Cardinals. Toussaint is a rotation fixture for the future, but he's struggled in his limited action at the big league level in his rookie season, posting a 4.67 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 15 strikeouts in 17 1/3 innings over four outings […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoJose Urena Will Make Next Start
Miami Marlins starting pitcher Jose Urena (hand) is fine after leaving his start on Sunday with a hand cramp, according to head coach Don Mattingly.
