Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin has ruled out linebacker T.J. Watt (pectoral) for the team's Week 2 contest against the New England Patriots.

Alek Manoah Scratched From Game 1 Start
Toronto Blue Jays interim manager John Schneider said that starting pitcher Alek Manoah (illness) was scratched from his start in Game 1 of a doubleheader on Tuesday against the Tampa Bay Rays because he's fighting a stomach bug. Manoah is currently hydrating, and the team hopes he can recover enough to start in Game 2.... Read More
Brandon Lowe Dealing With Back Issue
Updating a previous report, Tampa Bay Rays manager Kevin Cash said that second baseman Brandon Lowe's back has been bothering him, which is why he's not in the starting lineup for Game 1 of a doubleheader on Tuesday against the Toronto Blue Jays. The team will see if he's available to come off the bench... Read More
Brandon Lowe Retreats To The Bench
Tampa Bay Rays second baseman Brandon Lowe is absent from the starting lineup on Tuesday for Game 1 of a doubleheader against the Toronto Blue Jays. Lowe has gone hitless in his last 14 at-bats with four strikeouts in his last five games, so Game 1 of a doubleheader is a good time to rest... Read More
Harold Ramirez Sitting In Game 1
Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Harold Ramirez is not in the starting lineup for Game 1 of a doubleheader on Tuesday against the Toronto Blue Jays. It's a good time for Ramirez to take a little breather, as he's gone 5-for-31 (.161) with no homers, five RBI, one run scored and eight strikeouts in eight games... Read More
Luis Ortiz Making MLB Debut In Game 2 Tuesday
Pittsburgh Pirates right-hander Luis Ortiz has been called up from the minors and will make his major league debut in Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Cincinnati Reds, according to manager Derek Shelton.

Kenneth Walker III Inactive In Week 1
Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Kenneth Walker III (hernia) is inactive in Week 1 against the Denver Broncos on Monday night. Walker was listed as questionable for the season opener, but he was always more of a long shot to suit up after he had hernia surgery in the middle of August. The 21-year-old second-rounder... Read More
Elijah Mitchell Won't Need Surgery, Jeff Wilson Jr. Now No. 1
San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that running back Elijah Mitchell (knee) will miss roughly eight weeks with an MCL sprain that he suffered in the second quarter of the Week 1 loss to the Chicago Bears.

The Texas Rangers activated right-hander Jon Gray (oblique) from the 15-day injured list on Monday and optioned right-hander Tyson Miller to Triple-A Round Rock in a corresponding move.

Cooper Criswell Brought Up To Start Monday
The Tampa Bay Rays added right-hander Cooper Criswell to their active roster on Monday and also added right-handers Javy Guerra and Kevin Herget to the active roster.

Read More
Oneil Cruz Not Starting On Monday
Pittsburgh Pirates rookie shortstop Oneil Cruz is not in the starting lineup on Monday against the Cincinnati Reds. Cruz is just getting a normal day of rest against Reds left-hander Mike Minor. The 23-year-old Dominican is hitting just .227/.275/.462 on the year in 251 at-bats, but he's been red-hot in the month of September. Cruz... Read More

Miami Marlins left-hander Braxton Garrett (oblique) rejoined the team on Sept. 9 after starting a minor league rehab assignment with Triple-A Jacksonville on Sept. 7, when he allowed one run on one hit over 3 1/3 innings, striking out three and walking none on 46 pitches. The Marlins have Garrett listed as the Game 2... Read More
Avisail Garcia Remains Out For Game 1 Monday
Miami Marlins outfielder Avisail Garcia (hamstring) remains out of the starting lineup on Monday for the first game of a doubleheader against the Texas Rangers.

Justin Fields Comes Alive In Second Half
Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields completed eight of 17 passes for 121 yards with 28 rushing yards, two touchdowns and one interception in the Bears 19-10 victory over the 49ers in Week 1. The Bears offense was putrid in the first half, playing in rain-soaked conditions and on a soggy playing field. But the second-year... Read More
Four Teams Interested In Jordan Clarkson
Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson may be the next player on the roster to be moved. Teams are interested, with Memphis, Milwaukee, Sacramento, and Toronto emerging as potential landing spots. The 2021 Sixth Man of the Year took a step back last season, finishing with averages of 16.0 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 2.5 assists. Nevertheless,... Read More
Darius Slayton A Healthy Scratch Sunday
New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton (coach's decision) is inactive for Week 1 against the Tennessee Titans. This news isn't a major surprise considering the Giants have a relatively deep wide receiver room consisting of Kenny Golladay, Kadarius Toney, Sterling Shepard, and Wan'Dale Robinson. Of that group, Toney has the most fantasy value, but... Read More
Kayvon Thibodeaux, Azeez Ojulari Inactive For Week 1
New York Giants linebackers Kayvon Thibodeaux (knee) and Azeez Ojulari (calf) are both inactive for Week 1 against the Tennessee Titans. Their absences could prove to be quite negative for the New York defense, all while giving the Titans' playmakers some additional fantasy value. Specifically, this news bodes well for the outlooks of Ryan Tannehill... Read More
J.J. Watt Officially Inactive For Week 1
Arizona Cardinals defensive end J.J. Watt (calf) is inactive for Week 1 against the Kansas City Chiefs. The star pass-rusher did not practice this week. His absence, although expected, will hurt the Cardinals' defense in a big clash with the Chiefs. At the same time, the news could bode well for the fantasy values of... Read More
J.C. Jackson Inactive Sunday
Los Angeles Chargers cornerback J.C. Jackson (ankle) is officially inactive for Week 1 against the Las Vegas Raiders. He had been listed as doubtful, though there was some optimism that he might be able to play. Instead, the Chargers will hold him out at least one more week (and perhaps two if he can't handle... Read More
Donald Parham Jr., Isaiah Spiller Officially Inactive For Week 1
Los Angeles Chargers tight end Donald Parham Jr. (hamstring) and running back Isaiah Spiller (coach's decision) are both inactive for Week 1 against the Las Vegas Raiders.

David Bakhtiari, Elgton Jenkins Officially Inactive Sunday
Green Bay Packers left tackle David Bakhtiari (knee) and right tackle Elgton Jenkins (pectoral, knee) are both officially inactive for Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings. The absences of these two talented linemen could limit quarterback Aaron Rodgers' comfort in the pocket, as well as hinder the effectiveness of running backs Aaron Jones and AJ... Read More
Ronald Jones Not Suiting Up Sunday
Kansas City Chiefs running back Ronald Jones is inactive for Sunday's season opener against the Arizona Cardinals. He did not enter this weekend with an injury designation, so it appears that he's a healthy scratch. With the 25-year-old sidelined, Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Jerick McKinnon, and Isiah Pacheco will be active. It's a hard backfield to figure... Read More
Trey McBride Won't Play Week 1
Arizona Cardinals rookie tight end Trey McBride is inactive for Week 1 versus the Kansas City Chiefs. He had not been given an injury designation beforehand, so it appears that he's a healthy scratch. The 22-year-old will ride the bench while Zach Ertz, Maxx Williams, and Stephen Anderson suit up. Of the three active tight... Read More
Celtics Not Expected To Sign Carmelo Anthony
Free-agent forward Carmelo Anthony isn't expected to sign with the Celtics. After Danilo Gallinari (knee) suffered a torn ACL, there were rumblings that the C's were interested in adding Anthony. However, it appears that isn't happening, so for now, Sam Hauser and Grant Williams should receive more minutes off the bench this season.
Max Kepler Leaves Sunday's Game Early
Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler left Sunday's game against the Guardians early with an apparent injury. Gilberto Celestino took over in right field in the beginning of the third inning but there's no report from the Twins as to why Kepler was removed from the lineup. The 29-year-old outfielder has been dealing with some hip... Read More
