The Tennessee Titans and left tackle Taylor Lewan are making progress in contract extension talks, according to sources. This increases the likelihood that Lewan reports to training camp this week.

Keith Hernandez 6 years agoJosh Doctson Expected To Be A Full Go In Camp
Washington Redskins wide receiver Josh Doctson (leg), who had a precautionary MRI on his leg, is expected to be a full participant in training camp practices. It's not a good sign that he's already injured, but it doesn't sound too serious. In his third year in the NFL, Doctson is expected to start and be […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoJordan Reed, Trent Williams Expected To Be Eased In
Washington Redskins tight end Jordan Reed (toe) and offensive tackle Trent Williams (knee) are doing well from offseason surgeries but are expected to be eased into training camp as a precaution, according to a source.

Keith Hernandez 6 years agoCarson Wentz Likely To Land On PUP List
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz (knee) is likely to land on the Physically Unable to Perform list to begin training camp, according to sources. However, he can come off of it at any time and it won't be an indication that he won't be able to start the regular season on time. The Eagles are […]

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Adam Frazier was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis on Wednesday. The team optioned reliever Casey Sadler to Indy in a corresponding move.

Keith Hernandez 6 years agoZach Davies Has Another Setback
Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Zach Davies (back) had another setback in his recovery and will head for an MRI exam instead of starting his rehab assignment on Thursday.

Cleveland Indians relief pitcher Andrew Miller (knee) allowed four runs on two hits while walking one and hitting a batter in just one-third of an inning in his rehab outing for Double-A Akron on Tuesday. “I think I’m starting to check boxes. I feel healthy, which is good. It’s as good as I’ve felt in […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoYu Darvish To Throw This Weekend
Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Yu Darvish (triceps) will throw off a mound this weekend. Darvish is being brought along very slowly and has made minimal improvement. The Japanese right-hander hasn't pitched since May 20, so he'll likely need to go on a rehab assignment before returning to the rotation. He's been a huge disappointment for […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoDL Stint Is Possible For Kris Bryant
Chicago Cubs manager Joe Maddon wouldn't rule out another disabled list stint for third baseman Kris Bryant (shoulder). It's unclear if Bryant will be available to play on Thursday. Bryant has already spent around a month on the DL with the same injury, and it continues to bother him. He's hitting .276 with 11 home […]

Detroit Tigers pitcher Blaine Hardy will move back to the bullpen with the team going to a four-man rotation for the time being with a host of off days coming up. Overall, Hardy has a 3.77 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and just 44 strikeouts in 57 1/3 innings in 19 outings. The swing man has been […]

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Jordan Lyles (forearm) gave up seven runs in three innings with Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday on eight hits (one homer) while striking out two and walking two. He threw only 33 of his 56 pitches for strikes. He has allowed 11 runs in 5 2/3 innings and posted a […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoScott Schebler Starting Rehab Assignment Wednesday
Cincinnati Reds outfielder Scott Schebler (shoulder) will begin his rehab assignment with Triple-A Louisville as the designated hitter on Wednesday. His shoulder remains sore when he throws but it's improving. Before his injury, Schebler was batting a respectable .278 with 12 homers and 37 RBI in 266 at-bats. He can definitely be useful to those […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoBrandon Morrow Still Sore
Chicago Cubs closer Brandon Morrow (biceps) said there's still a "little bit of soreness" in his arm, but he thinks he's "going in the right direction." It means that Morrow won't be back anytime soon. In the meantime, Pedro Strop is your best bet for saves in Chicago, but Steve Cishek and Carl Edwards Jr. […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoWilson Ramos To Catch Batting Practice Saturday
Tampa Bay Rays catcher Wilson Ramos (hamstring) will catch a live batting practice session on Saturday and could go out on a rehab assignment after that.

Keith Hernandez 6 years agoGary Sanchez Won't Return Soon
New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said the team expects catcher Gary Sanchez (groin) to return at the end of August or the beginning of September. While Sanchez does have 14 home runs and 42 RBI, he's been a disappointment this year for fantasy owners because of his injuries and his weak .188/.283/.416 slash […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoGleyber Torres Back From DL And In Lineup
The New York Yankees activated second baseman Gleyber Torres (hip) from the 10-day disabled list on Wednesday, and he is batting fifth against Rays starter Ryne Stanek. Infielder Tyler Wade was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in a corresponding move. Torres should be re-inserted into all fantasy lineups immediately, as he was hitting .294 with 15 […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoLuis Cessa Making Start Wednesday
The New York Yankees called up pitcher Luis Cessa from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to make a spot start against the Rays on Wednesday. Cessa tossed six shutout innings against the Orioles in his last start for New York on July 9, so he might make for a decent streamer in deeper leagues against the Rays this […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoRyne Stanek To Start Wednesday
Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Ryne Stanek will start for the team against the Yankees on Wednesday after the team traded starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi to the Red Sox. Eovaldi was originally scheduled to start on Wednesday for Tampa Bay. Stanek is unlikely to last very long in this game, and the Rays will likely piece […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoWalker Buehler Called Up To Start Wednesday
The Los Angeles Dodgers recalled starting pitcher Walker Buehler from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday, and he will make the start against the Phillies. Reliever Dylan Floro was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move. Buehler has been solid in the majors this year, going 4-2 with a 3.45 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 59 K's […]

The San Diego Padres have checked in on New York Mets starting pitcher Noah Syndergaard in their search for a front-line starter, according to sources.

Keith Hernandez 6 years agoJavier Baez Should Be Able To Play Wednesday
Chicago Cubs infielder Javier Baez (knee) was seen icing his knee after he slid into second base on Tuesday, but manager Joe Maddon thinks Baez could play on Wednesday. The injury shouldn't keep Baez out for long, if at all. The talented 25-year-old is hitting .293 on the season with 19 home runs, 74 RBI […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoX-Rays Negative On Brandon Drury
New York Yankees infielder Brandon Drury's (hand) X-rays came back negative, and he's dealing with a bruised left hand. Drury went hitless in two plate appearances before his injury, and he's batting just .176 on the season with one home run and seven RBI. He's mainly just a bat off the bench for the Yankees, […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoCorey Dickerson Injures Hamstring
Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Corey Dickerson (hamstring) left the game early on Tuesday with hamstring "discomfort" after feeling something running to first base on a groundout. Dickerson at least had two hits in the game before departing. We should know more on his status later on Tuesday. Dickerson has been a great free-agent pickup by the […]

The Baltimore Orioles agreed to send closer Zach Britton to the New York Yankees on Tuesday, according to sources. The full package that the Orioles will land is uncertain, but it's been confirmed that starting pitching prospect Dillon Tate will headline the package.

Keith Hernandez 6 years agoTeams Checking In On Marcus Stroman
Several teams have checked in on Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Marcus Stroman, but there is strong belief that the Blue Jays will hang onto him. Stroman has been up and down and has dealt with injuries this year, posting a 5.42 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 7.3 K/9 over 13 starts. A trade would likely […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoJeff Samardzija Still Shut Down
San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Jeff Samardzija (shoulder) will not throw for the next few days and will need a rehab assignment before he returns to the rotation.
