Jesus Luzardo Looks Fantastic On Wednesday

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Jesus Luzardo was impressive on the mound during Wednesday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. The left-hander threw six scoreless innings, allowing only one hit and walked two batters. Sadly, Luzardo was handed a no-decision after his offense didn't give him any run support. He'll take his 3.62 ERA, 1.22 WHIP, […]

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder J.D. Martinez (groin) appears to be making progress after landing on the injured list earlier this month.

Kobi Simmons Waived By Hornets

Charlotte Hornets guard Kobi Simmons has been waived by the team. The 26-year-old made five appearances with the Hornets last year.

The Arizona […]

Kendall Graveman Exits Early On Wednesday

Houston Astros relief pitcher Kendall Graveman (undisclosed) was forced to exit early during Wednesday's game against the Boston Red Sox.

Colorado Rockies infielder Brendan Rodgers (illness) remains out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Braves. He was a late scratch from Monday's game due to an illness.

Harrison Bader Waived By Yankees

New York Yankees outfielder Harrison Bader has been waived by the organization on Tuesday. The 29-year-old is set to become a free agent at the end of the season.

Chris Godwin Hauls In All Four Targets

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin made easy work of the Baltimore Ravens defense on Saturday. The 27-year-old hauled in all four of his targets for 30 yards and a touchdown in the preseason victory on Saturday. Godwin unsurprisingly ran circles around Baltimore's second string defense. There is no doubt that Godwin and Mike […]

Baker Mayfield Completes All Six Passing Attempts

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield was able to finish the preseason on a high note. On Saturday, Mayfield completed all six of his passing attempts for 43 yards and a touchdown in the win over the Baltimore Ravens.

Erik Swanson Exits Early On Saturday

Toronto Blue Jays relief pitcher Erik Swanson (back) was forced to exit early during Saturday's game against the Cleveland Guardians.
