Brendan Rodgers Absent On Sunday

Colorado Rockies infielder Brendan Rodgers is out of the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Chicago White Sox.

Juan Soto Returns On Sunday

New York Yankees outfielder Juan Soto (hand) is back in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. The superstar outfielder suffered a hand injury during Friday's contest.

This is great news for the Guardians rotation considering how well Williams pitched with the big […]

Triston McKenzie Optioned To Minors

Cleveland Guardians starting pitcher Triston McKenzie has been optioned to Triple-A on Sunday. This news shouldn't shock anyone considering how poorly McKenzie has pitched lately. McKenzie has allowed 12 earned runs and issued 11 walks over his last three starts. This season, McKenzie holds a 5.11 ERA through 16 starts with the Guardians. The potential […]

[…]

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Reese Olson looked good on the mound during Saturday's outing against the Los Angeles Angels.

Klay Thompson Not Returning To Golden State

Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson is reportedly headed to free agency this offseason.

Precious Achiuwa Heading To Free Agency

New York Knicks forward Precious Achiuwa won't be extended a qualifying offer by the organization. He'll become a free agent after averaging 7.6 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 1.1 assists in 24.2 minutes per game last season. Achiuwa was a reliable contributor but the Knicks appear to have other options. They've traded for Mikal Bridges and […]

Chimezie Metu Has Optioned Declined

Detroit Pistons forward Chimezie Metu reportedly had his $2.65 million player option declined on Saturday. This seems a little odd, considering how well Metu played during his brief stint in Detroit. He averaged career-highs with 10.9 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 1.9 assists per game in 14 contests. Perhaps, the Pistons are already overcrowded with big […]

DeAndre Jordan Returning To Denver

Denver Nuggets center DeAndre Jordan is reportedly sticking around with the organization for at least one more season. The veteran big man has reportedly agreed to a one-year, $3.6 million deal for the 2024-2025 season. Jordan should serve as the primary backup center to Nikola Jokic.

Royce Lewis Absent On Saturday

Minnesota Twins infielder Royce Lewis is out of the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Seattle Mariners. This appears to be a routine rest day for the 25-year-old superstar. The oft-injured infielder has been struggling to stay healthy, so it's not surprising to see the Twins giving him extra rest days. Jose Miranda […]

Juan Soto Avoids Serious Injury

New York Yankees outfielder Juan Soto (hand) was scratched from Saturday's lineup after suffering an injury during Friday's game. The 25-year-old injured himself while sliding headfirst at home plate on Friday. The good news is that Soto appears to have avoided a serious injury.

Luke Raley Returning On Saturday

Seattle Mariners outfielder Luke Raley (shoulder) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Minnesota Twins.

That is good news but doesn't officially mean Springer will be completely […]

Drew Smith Likely To Undergo Season-Ending Surgery

New York Mets relief pitcher Drew Smith (elbow) is expected to require Tommy John surgery. This is a tough break considering how well Smith has been pitching for the Mets this season. He recently went down with an elbow sprain but it sounds like the issue is more severe. The expectation is Smith wouldn't pitch […]

Steven Matz Transferred To 60-Day Injured List

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Steven Matz (back) has been transferred from the 15-day to the 60-day injured list on Friday. This news comes just two days away from Matz being eligible to come off the injured list. He recently had a setback with a strained back, so it looks like the southpaw is going […]

Josh Jung To Be Brought Along Slowly

Texas Rangers third baseman Josh Jung (wrist) is having a tough time getting back to full health. The young slugger wants to get back in the lineup, but he's uncertain when that'll be because his wrist isn't 100 percent yet.

Atlanta Braves outfielder Michael Harris II (hamstring) is reportedly making progress in his recovery from a Grade 2 hamstring strain.

A.J. Minter To Throw On Sunday

Atlanta Braves relief pitcher A.J. Minter (hip) is scheduled to throw on the mound for Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday. The left-hander is working his way back from left hip inflammation.

Randy Vasquez Removed Early On Friday

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Randy Vasquez (forearm) was forced to exit early during Friday's start against the Boston Red Sox. Vasquez was pitching well before getting hit in the forearm by a line drive. It seemed like Vasquez was fine, but the Padres pulled him from the contest as a precaution. The expectation is […]
