He won the award unanimously after missing all of last year. Verlander becomes the first-ever pitcher to win the award after throwing zero innings the previous season. He's also […]

Bills Will Continue To Work Nyheim Hines Into Offense

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that running back Nyheim Hines will be "worked in as he continues to grow" in the team's offense. Hines played just eight percent of the offensive snaps in the Week 10 overtime loss to the Minnesota Vikings in his second game after coming over in a trade from […]

Daniel Bellinger Still Missing From Practice

New York Giants rookie tight end Daniel Bellinger (eye) missed another practice on Wednesday. Bellinger fractured his eye socket in Week 7 and hasn't practiced or played since, and he's trending towards missing yet another contest in Week 11 against the Detroit Lions. The 22-year-old expects to play again this year, but he can be […]

Wan'Dale Robinson, Kenny Golladay Limited Wednesday

New York Giants wide receivers Wan'Dale Robinson (hamstring) and Kenny Golladay (hamstring) were both limited participants in Wednesday's practice. Robinson has been playing more in the last three games, but he's produced just 10 receptions on 13 targets for 85 yards and no touchdowns in this low-volume passing attack. And now he's dealing with an […]

Dustin Hopkins Still Not Practicing

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Dustin Hopkins (hamstring) was listed as a DNP at Wednesday's practice. Hopkins was last active in Week 6 and is expected to miss at least one more game, so fantasy managers shouldn't be planning on using him on Sunday night against the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs. Besides, Cameron Dicker has filled […]

Gerald Everett, DeAndre Carter Limited Wednesday

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Gerald Everett (groin) and wide receiver DeAndre Carter (ribs) were both limited at Wednesday's practice. It's a good sign that Everett was able to do something at practice on Wednesday, but he sounds very questionable to play on Sunday night against the Kansas City Chiefs, making him an even more […]

David Njoku Misses Wednesday's Practice

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (ankle) didn't practice on Wednesday as he continues to recover from an ankle injury he suffered in Week 7. It's not a good sign for his availability in Week 11 against the Buffalo Bills, but Njoku also has two more days to try and get back on the practice […]

Curtis Samuel, Logan Thomas Limited Wednesday

Washington Commanders wide receiver Curtis Samuel (shin) and tight end Logan Thomas (rib) were both listed as limited participants in Wednesday's practice. We'll continue to monitor their statuses throughout the week, but barring any setbacks, both Samuel and Thomas should be able to play in Week 11 against the Houston Texans. Samuel has 47 catches […]

J.D. McKissic Unable To Practice Wednesday

Washington Commanders running back J.D. McKissic (neck) missed another practice on Wednesday. McKissic has missed the last two games and hasn't practiced at all either, so he's trending toward missing another contest in Week 11 against the Houston Texans. The Commanders have said that they will play it safe with the 29-year-old's neck injury. If […]

Mecole Hardman Still Not Practicing

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman (abdomen) was unable to practice on Wednesday. JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion) and Marquez Valdes-Scantling (illness) were also held out of practice, so the Chiefs top wideouts are all banged up heading into Sunday night's divisional clash against the Los Angeles Chargers. With that said, Kadarius Toney, Justin Watson and […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster, Marquez Valdes-Scantling Miss Practice

Kansas City Chiefs wide receivers JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion) and Marquez Valdes-Scantling (illness) both missed practice on Wednesday. Mecole Hardman (abdomen) also missed practice, so KC's top wideouts are all questionable heading into a Sunday night showdown against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 11. It remains to be seen who will be available this weekend, […]

Saints Sticking With Andy Dalton At QB

New Orleans Saints head coach Dennis Allen said that the team will stick with Andy Dalton as the starting quarterback in Week 11 against the Los Angeles Rams.

Keenan Allen, Mike Williams Return To Individual Drills

Los Angeles Chargers wide receivers Keenan Allen (hamstring) and Mike Williams (ankle) returned to individual drills at practice on Wednesday, according to head coach Brandon Staley. The Chargers expected both Allen and Williams to return to practice this week, but it remains to be seen if they'll be able to play on Sunday night against […]

Sandy Alcantara Wins National League Cy Young

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Sandy Alcantara won the 2022 National League Cy Young award on Wednesday. He becomes the team's first-ever Cy Young winner after he tossed a league-high 228 2/3 innings this year, which is the highest total for a pitcher since Justin Verlander's 223 in 2019. The 27-year-old right-hander's six complete games were […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers added catcher Diego Cartaya, second baseman Michael Busch and outfielders Andy Pages and Jonny DeLuca to their 40-man roster on Tuesday in order to protect them from the upcoming Rule 5 draft.

Cardinals Add Connor Thomas To 40-Man Roster

The St. Louis Cardinals added left-hander Connor Thomas to their 40-man major-league roster on Tuesday to protect him from this week's Rule 5 draft. Thomas checks in as the team's No. 24 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, but he doesn't have a ton of upside at the next level. The 24-year-old southpaw struck out only 110 […]

Prelander Berroa, Jonatan Clase Protected From Rule 5 Draft

The Seattle Mariners added right-handers Prelander Berroa and Isaiah Campbell and outfielders Jonatan Clase and Cade Marlowe to their 40-man roster on Tuesday, protecting them from this week's Rule 5 draft.

The Baltimore Orioles protected right-handed pitcher Grayson Rodriguez from the Rule 5 draft by adding him to their 40-man roster on Tuesday.

Rodriguez is the No. 4 overall prospect in all of baseball, per […]

Cubs Acquire Miles Mastrobuoni From The Rays

The Chicago Cubs acquired second baseman Miles Mastrobuoni from the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday in exchange for a Single-A pitcher, according to sources. Mastrobuoni can play both the infield and outfield. The 27-year-old made his major-league debut with the Rays this year and went 3-for-16 with a stolen base, a run scored and six […]

Raimel Tapia Designated For Assignment

The Toronto Blue Jays designated outfielders Raimel Tapia and Bradley Zimmer for assignment on Tuesday while also releasing Foster Griffin. In corresponding moves, the team added Orelvis Martinez, Yosver Zulueta, Addison Barger and Spencer Horwitz to the 40-man roster. The Blue Jays acquired Tapia from the Colorado Rockies last March. The 28-year-old ended up playing […]

Mark Andrews Limited In Wednesday's Practice

Correcting a previous report, Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (knee, shoulder) was limited in Wednesday's practice after not being seen at the portion of practice open to the media. It was his first practice since injuring his shoulder on Oct. 27. The Ravens have been optimistic that Andrews will return to action this weekend […]

Taylor Heinicke Will Start In Week 11

Washington Commanders head coach Ron Rivera announced on Wednesday that quarterback Taylor Heinicke will start in Week 11 against the Houston Texans. Carson Wentz (finger) has been cleared to start throwing, but the team hasn't designated him to return to practice from Injured Reserve. Wentz could end up taking over the starting role eventually, but […]

A.J. Brown Says He'll Be Fine For Week 11

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (ankle), who rolled his ankle early in the Monday night loss to the Washington Commanders, said on Wednesday that he'll be fine.

Kyler Murray, Colt McCoy Both Day-To-Day

Arizona Cardinals quarterbacks Kyler Murray (hamstring) and Colt McCoy (knee) are both day-to-day, head coach Kliff Kingsbury said on Wednesday.

The Arizona Cardinals designated wide receiver Marquise Brown (foot) to return from Injured Reserve on Wednesday, opening their 21-day window to officially activate him from IR.

Nationals Sign Derek Hill

The Washington Nationals signed outfielder Derek Hill to a minor league deal on Tuesday that includes an invite to spring training, according to a source.

Padres Officially Re-Sign Nick Martinez

The San Diego Padres officially re-signed right-hander Nick Martinez to a three-year, $26 million deal on Wednesday. Martinez hit the open market when he declined his $6.5 million option for the 2023 season last week, but the two sides quickly worked to bring him back in 2023 and beyond. The 32-year-old opened the year in […]

Blue Jays Showing Interest In Brandon Nimmo

The Toronto Blue Jays are showing interest in free-agent outfielder Brandon Nimmo, according to sources. The trade of Teoscar Hernandez to the Seattle Mariners on Wednesday has freed up a spot in the Toronto lineup for them to add the left-handed bat that they've lacked. Nimmo and his on-base skills would be a perfect fit […]

Bryce Harper To Have UCL Surgery Next Week

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper (elbow) will have UCL surgery on his right elbow next Wednesday. It's still unknown if it will be Tommy John surgery or not, so Harper's timetable for a return next year is still up in the air. Tommy John surgery would require a longer rehab, but it wouldn't mean that […]
