66209 articles

Keith is a sports fanatic through and through. He has been immersed in the sports world as far back as he can remember, and played competitive baseball in high school and college (University of California -- San Diego) as a four-year captain. He also dabbled semi-professionally overseas for a short time before becoming obsessed with fantasy sports, starting in 2006. He's been writing and editing fantasy content ever since, with stops at KFFL and USA TODAY Sports. He has played alongside some of the brightest fantasy minds in the industry, including LABR (League of Alternate Baseball Reality).

Malcolm Mitchell Being Released

The New England Patriots will release wide receiver Malcolm Mitchell (knee) on Monday, according to NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport.

Michael Pineda Looks Good In Rehab Outing

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Michael Pineda (elbow) touched 94 mph with his fastball in his rehab outing on Monday and sat in the 91-93 mph range in the Gulf Coast League. Pineda last pitched for the Yankees in 2017 before undergoing Tommy John surgery. He has strikeout upside, but he must first prove to fantasy […...


Yu Darvish To Throw Sim Game Wednesday

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Yu Darvish (elbow) will throw a simulated game on Wednesday. Darvish is inching closer to being able to go on a rehab assignment.

Tyson Ross To Pitch Out Of Bullpen

St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Tyson Ross, who was claimed off waivers on Sunday from the Padres, is expected to join the active roster on Tuesday, but he will initially pitch out of the bullpen. His last relief appearance came back in 2013. Ross was having a pretty decent season with the Friars, going 6-9 with […...


Carlos Martinez To Play Catch Monday

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Carlos Martinez (shoulder) is set to play catch on Monday. Martinez made his last start on July 30 before going back on the disabled list with shoulder issues. If he can move past the shoulder problems, he should once again be an asset to fantasy owners in all leagues down […...


Michael Wacha To Begin Throwing This Week

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Michael Wacha (oblique) will begin a light throwing session sometime this week. Wacha will be brought along slowly with a tricky oblique injury, and he hasn't pitched since June 20 against the Phillies. He should be stashed in most formats, though, as he had a nice 3.20 ERA, 1.23 WHIP […...


Sandy Alcantara Returns From DL, Optioned To Minors

The Miami Marlins activated starting pitcher Sandy Alcantara (arm) from the disabled list and optioned him to Triple-A New Orleans on Monday. Alcantara gave up one run in five innings in his first major league start this year, but he also walked five in that outing. On the farm this year he's 5-3 with a […...

Tyler O'Neill Expected Back In 10 Days

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill (groin) is not dealing with a baseball injury, but they are being vague about it because of the sensitive nature of his ailment. O'Neill underwent treatment on Monday and is expected to return in 10 days. Adolis Garcia was called up from the minors and should see a lot […...


Joe Mauer, Logan Morrison Pass Through Waivers

Minnesota Twins first basemen Joe Mauer and Logan Morrison have both passed through revocable waivers, according to a person with direct knowledge. The Twins can now discuss a trade with other teams until Aug. 31. Mauer has a full no-trade clause and is still due $6.92 million through the rest of the year. He's hitting […...


Hunter Strickland Throws In Arizona League

San Francisco Giants relief pitcher Hunter Strickland (hand) tossed an inning for the team's rookie level Arizona team on Sunday, but he must wait two more weeks before he can be activated from the 60-day disabled list. Strickland was solid before his injury, posting a 2.84 ERA, 1.23 WHIP, 8.2 K/9 and 13 saves. However, […...


Dylan Cease Crushing It In Minors

Chicago White Sox pitching prospect Dylan Cease has been crushing it in the minors. Cease was acquired from the Cubs in the Jose Quintana trade. He tossed six scoreless innings for Double-A Birmingham on Saturday night and struck out nine. He is now 2-0 with a 1.00 ERA in his last six starts. Cease is […...


Eloy Jimenez Close To Being Called Up

Chicago White Sox outfield prospect Eloy Jimenez is "really close" to being promoted to the major leagues, according to player development director Chris Getz. “He has done nothing but perform,” Getz said. “This guy’s been able to drive the ball to all fields. He’s been able to set up pitchers. ... He’s got a pretty […...


Kris Bryant Unsure When He'll Resume Swinging

Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant (shoulder) said on Sunday that he doesn't know when he'll be able to swing a bat.

Giancarlo Stanton Dealing With Hamstring Issue

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (hamstring) is dealing with tightness in his left hamstring and had it wrapped with ice after games Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The Yankees likely want to be cautions with Stanton while Aaron Judge and catcher Gary Sanchez are sidelined. It's the reason why Stanton served as the designated in […...


Rays Place Daniel Robertson On DL

The Tampa Bay Rays placed infielder Daniel Robertson (thumb) on the 10-day disabled list on Saturday with a left thumb sprain. In a corresponding move, infielder Brandon Lowe was recalled from Triple-A Durham. Robertson is mostly useful for his position versatility in AL-only leagues. He was hitting .262 with nine home runs and 34 RBI […...


Vance McDonald Listed As Starter

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Vance McDonald is listed as the starting tight end on the team's first official depth chart of 2018.

Yu Darvish Throws Bullpen Saturday

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Yu Darvish (back, elbow) threw a 55-pitch bullpen session on Saturday and felt good.

Malcolm Mitchell Returns To Practice

New England Patriots wide receiver Malcolm Mitchell (knee) was seen at practice on Saturday and is in pads.

Marshal Yanda Activated From PUP

Baltimore Ravens offensive guard Marshal Yanda (ankle, shoulder) passed his physical on Saturday and was activated from the Physically Unable to Perform list, although he isn't practicing on Saturday.

Titans Agree With Kenny Vaccaro

The Tennessee Titans announced on Saturday that they agreed to terms with free-agent safety Kenny Vaccaro. Vaccaro was the best safety still left on the market.

Teams Showing Interest In Greg Holland

Free-agent relief pitcher Greg Holland has received interest from five or six teams, according to his agent, Scott Boras. After leading the National League in saves with 41 for the Rockies last year, Holland had an ugly 7.92 ERA with the Cardinals this season. Holland may latch on with another team on a minor league […...


No Plans To Remove Luke Weaver From Rotation

St. Louis Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak said the team doesn't have any current plans to remove starting pitcher Luke Weaver from the rotation despite his poor form over the last two months. Weaver has gone six innings just three times in 12 starts since May 28 and went just 2 2/3 innings on Wednesday. […...


Michael Wacha Not Making Much Progress

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Michael Wacha (oblique) has stayed in St. Louis to continue his throwing program, but he has not made enough progress for the team to know when he will be ready for a rehab assignment. Wacha last made a start on June 20 against the Phillies. Oblique injuries can be very […...


Kolten Wong Coming Off DL

St. Louis Cardinals second baseman Kolten Wong (knee), who has been out with left knee inflammation the last 12 days, will come off the disabled list on Saturday. He went 0-for-3 with a walk and played seven innings in the field in his lone rehab game with Single-A Peoria. He will take the place of […...


Alex Wood Pulled Early Friday As Precaution

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said starting pitcher Alex Wood (hamstring) was pulled early from his start on Friday as a precaution after they noticed the lefty stretching out his hamstrings during his warmups.

Buster Posey Could Return Sunday

San Francisco Giants manager Bruce Bochy said catcher Buster Posey (head) is feeling better and could return to the lineup on Sunday if he doesn't have concussion symptoms.
