Are You For Real? Surprising MLB Pitcher Starts from Week 23
Alejandro Kirk Out With Hip Tightness
Toronto Blue Jays catcher Alejandro Kirk (hip) is dealing with some left hip tightness, which is why he's out of the starting lineup on Thursday against the Tampa Bay Rays. Toronto thinks Kirk could be available off the bench, though, so he's considered day-to-day. Fantasy managers need to act accordingly and move Kirk to their... Read More
Mac Jones Not Practicing Thursday
New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones (illness, back) is not practicing on Thursday due to an illness, but NFL Network's Tom Pelissero writes that it's his understanding that it's not believed to be COVID-19-related.

Anthony Gose Undergoes Tommy John Surgery
Cleveland Guardians left-hander Anthony Gose (elbow) underwent Tommy John surgery on Wednesday in Texas.

New Orleans Saints running back Mark Ingram II (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
