Zach Davies Throwing Live Batting Practice
Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Zach Davies (back, shoulder) is set to throw live batting practice on Monday. Davies hasn't pitched in a major league game May 29 and will likely need at least several rehab outings before he's cleared to rejoin the rotation. The Brewers can't wait for his return, as Brent Suter (elbow) is […]
Clint Frazier Has Post-Concussion Migraines
New York Yankees outfielder Clint Frazier (head) is dealing with post-concussion migraines and was placed on the 10-day disabled list. Frazier has dealt with head injuries off and on this year, so the Yankees will be extremely careful with their outfield prospect. It's a shame, since he was a trade candidate given how crowded the […]
Jason Vargas To Come Off DL And Start Friday
New York Mets starting pitcher Jason Vargas (calf) will come off the disabled list to start against the Pirates on Friday. He was originally scheduled to pitch Tuesday, but a rainout on Sunday against the Yankees pushed everyone in the rotation back. Vargas has been atrocious for the Mets in nine starts this year, going […]
Marco Estrada Making Rehab Start Tuesday
Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Marco Estrada (gluteus) will make a rehab start for Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday. Assuming he doesn't have any setbacks, Estrada should be cleared to rejoin the team's rotation. He's been up and down this year with a 4.72 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 70 strikeouts in 89 2/3 innings. Estrada is […]
Jerick McKinnon Could Reach 1,500 Yards From Scrimmage
San Francisco 49ers running back Jerick McKinnon has a blend of strength, speed, quickness and catching ability and should be able to provide around 1,500 yards from scrimmage in head coach Kyle Shanahan's system in his first year in San Fran. McKinnon ran for 570 yards and had 421 yards receiving in Minnesota in 2017 […]
Kevin Pillar Working Out Monday
Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Kevin Pillar (shoulder) is doing some throwing and running on Monday. He was injured on July 14 and was initially expected to miss around six weeks. Pillar is making good progress, but he still won't be back for a while. He's hitting .247 with eight home runs, 37 RBI and 11 […]
Phillies Exploring Bench Bats, Infield Help
The Philadelphia Phillies are exploring bench bats and upgrades to the left side of their infield. Mets infielder Asdrubal Cabrera, Marlins utility man Derek Dietrich and Twins shortstop Eduardo Escobar could all be options. Cabrera and Dietrich have been excellent for fantasy owners this year, while Escobar also hasn't been shabby with a .272 average […]
Kolten Wong Lands On DL
The St. Louis Cardinals placed second baseman Kolten Wong (knee) on the disabled list with left knee inflammation on Monday. Starting pitcher Daniel Poncedeleon was recalled from the minors in a corresponding move. Poncedeleon will make his major league debut and start against the Reds on Monday. He's a risky but attractive streamer in deeper […]
Braves Discussing Marlins Relievers
The Atlanta Braves have discussed Miami Marlins relievers, which could include closer Kyle Barraclough and relief pitchers Drew Steckenrider or Adam Conley. Braves general manager Alex Anthopoulos is known to be looking for controllable players if they are going to move talent from their farm system. It's unclear if any of the Marlins relievers would […]
Braves Scouting Cole Hamels
The Atlanta Braves have shown interest in Texas Rangers starting pitcher Cole Hamels, and they are not one of the teams that need his permission to be dealt to, according to MLB.com's Jon Paul Morosi. The Braves are trying to keep pace with the Phillies in the National League East and are trying to bolster […]
Braves Interested In Jonathan Scoop, Kevin Gausman, Dylan Bundy
The Atlanta Braves have shown interest in Baltimore Orioles second baseman Jonathan Schoop and starting pitchers Kevin Gausman and Dylan Bundy. Getting out of Baltimore would be the best thing for the fantasy values of all three players. Schoop has been very disappointing after being an All-Star in 2017, and Gasuman and Bundy have been […]
Yankees Checking In On Kevin Gausman
The New York Yankees have checked in on Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Kevin Gausman as they seek upgrades to their rotation. Gausman has a 4.33 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 7.8 K/9 over 19 starts this year for the last-place Orioles, and he's been a headache for his fantasy owners. Having a much better offense backing […]
Brewers Eyeing Mike Moustakas
The Milwaukee Brewers are eyeing Kansas City Royals third baseman Mike Moustakas after they lost out on Dodgers shortstop Manny Machado, according to MLB Network's Jon Paul Morosi. Milwaukee is "interested in Mike Moustakas, despite the fact that he's not an ideal fit with Travis Shaw and Jesus Aguilar on the infield corners." There is […]
Brewers Asking About Kevin Gausman, Jonathan Schoop
The Milwaukee Brewers have asked about Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Kevin Gausman and second baseman Jonathan Schoop, according to sources. The Brewers are looking to add as they chase a division title. Both Gausman and Schoop have been disappointing for fantasy owners this year, but they'd both gain fantasy value moving to a contending club […]
Leonard Fournette Playing At 223 Pounds
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette is entering training camp at 223 pounds, which is the lowest weight he's played at since high school in 2013. He was noticeably thinner in spring workouts, so this isn't much of a surprise. Fournette looked to break down late last year, so a lighter weight should make him […]
Royals Interested In Ryon Healy
The Kansas City Royals are interested in Seattle Mariners first baseman Ryon Healy. Healy could become expendable in Seattle with second baseman Robinson Cano able to be moved to first base down the stretch. Healy is on pace for a career high in home runs -- he's already at 20 over 82 games -- but […]
Rangers Willing To Eat Money On Shin-Soo Choo Trade
The Texas Rangers have told teams that they are willing to eat a big chunk of the money on outfielder Shin-Soo Choo's deal. He is due $7.5 million for the rest of this year and $21 million each of the next two years. That's hard to swallow since Choo isn't great on defense, despite the […]
Joey Lucchesi Called Up To Start Monday
San Diego Padres starting pitcher Joey Lucchesi has been called up from the minors to start on Monday against the Mets. Eric Lauer will be pushed back to Tuesday. Lucchesi has been pretty solid for the Friars in his rookie season, going 4-5 with a 3.34 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 9.2 K/9 over 14 starts […]
J.T. Realmuto May Stay Put
Teams that have called the Miami Marlins recently have come away with the impression that catcher J.T. Realmuto will not be traded. The Marlins have hope that they can start contract extension talks this winter if they hang onto him. Miami is asking for a king's ransom in exchange for Realmuto and rightfully so, as […]
Takkarist McKinley Won't Start Camp On PUP
Atlanta Falcons defensive end Takkarist McKinley (shoulder) will not start training camp on the Physically Unable to Perform list, according to a source. He was held out of offseason workouts after having left shoulder surgery, and he was limited at the start of camp last year due to surgery on his right shoulder. McKinley has […]
Dante Fowler To Open On PUP List
Jacksonville Jaguars defensive end Dante Fowler will start training camp on the Physically Unable to Perform list with an undisclosed injury, according to a source. Fowler has also been suspended for the first game of the season, so his stock is certainly down after recording eight sacks and two fumble recoveries in his third season […]
Shane Ray Avoids Surgery
Denver Broncos linebacker Shane Ray (wrist) did not end up having surgery on his wrist over the summer, as his doctor didn't think it was necessary, according to sources. Ray's timetable for a return is now much quicker than expected. It means he could be ready for the start of the regular season, but it's […]
Denzel Ward Has Positioned Himself To Start
Cleveland Browns rookie cornerback Denzel Ward, the No. 4 overall pick, has positioned himself for a starting job by rising to the first-team defense in spring workouts and holding his own against receivers Josh Gordon and Jarvis Landry. T.J. Carrie is locked in as one of the starters, but he's been challenged by E.J. Gaines […]
Tim Tebow Likely Out For The Season
New York Mets outfielder Tim Tebow (hand) is scheduled to undergo surgery on Tuesday after breaking the hamate bone in his right hand while swinging over the weekend. He'll likely miss the rest of the season, according to an MLB source. The football star turned baseball professional was actually performing quite well at Double-A Binghamton […]
Jason Vargas Won't Pitch Tuesday
New York Mets starting pitcher Jason Vargas (calf) will not be starting on Tuesday as originally scheduled. Jacob deGrom will pitch Monday against the Padres, followed by Zack Wheeler on Tuesday and Corey Oswalt on Wednesday. Vargas was scheduled to come off the disabled list Tuesday, but he may be pushed back or skipped altogether. […]
Dee Ford Expected To Be Ready For Camp
Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said linebacker Dee Ford (back) should be "ready to go" for the team's first training camp practice on Thursday. Ford played in just six games last year and ended the season on Injured Reserve. He did have a career-high 10 sacks in 2016, though, so a healthy and […]
Spencer Ware Ready For Training Camp
Kansas City Chiefs running back Spencer Ware (knee), who injured his PCL and LCL and missed the whole 2017 season, should be "ready to go" for the first training camp practice on Thursday, according to head coach Andy Reid. Ware had 921 rushing yards and 447 receiving yards in 14 games in 2016 and should […]
LeSean McCoy Set To Report On Wednesday
Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy is set to report to training camp on Wednesday with the rest of the veterans, according to sources. Unless his status changes with the NFL, McCoy is expected to be treated as normal. Shady McCoy was accused of domestic assault, animal abuse and performance-enhancing drug use by his ex-girlfriend […]
Odell Beckham Jr. Will Report On Time
New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. will report to training camp on time on Wednesday. “He wants to play football, he wants to win," a source close to Beckham said. The Giants and Beckham are still trying to work out a long-term extension, but as he's said all along, he will not hold […]
Yankees Inquiring On Chris Archer
The New York Yankees are among the teams that have asked about Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Chris Archer. However, other teams are skeptical that the Rays will move Archer, who is on a team-friendly deal, within their division. Archer has been rather disappointing for fantasy owners in 2018, mainly due to injuries. He has […]
