Javier Baez Takes A Seat On Wednesday

Detroit Tigers shortstop Javier Baez is absent from the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Chicago Cubs. The 31-year-old made his return to Wrigley Field on Tuesday.

Ke'Bryan Hayes Heads To Injured List

Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes (back) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Monday. It sounds like Hayes has been dealing with a lingering back issues all season long.

James Washington Released By Falcons

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver James Washington has been released by the organization on Sunday.

His best season came […]
