The Texas Rangers appear to be interested in keeping starting pitcher Martin Perez around long term. The 31-year-old is having a rebirth in 2022 with a stellar 2.61 ERA through 18 starts with Texas. He's a first team All-Star and is well worth his current one-year deal worth $4 million. That being said, general manager […]

Cubs-Mets Game Postponed On Friday

The Chicago Cubs and New York Mets were scheduled to play a game at 2:20 EST on Friday, but that contest has been postponed. It's raining in Chicago and is showing no signs of slowing down anytime soon. That being said, the two teams will make up the contest as part of a doubleheader on […]

Michael Porter Jr. To Be Limited Next Season

Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. (back) mentioned that he is 100 percent healthy after missing all of last season.

That's assuming […]

The Phoenix Suns officially have 48 hours to match the Indiana Pacers maximum offer sheet on Deandre Ayton. The stud big man has agreed to a four-year $133 million deal with the organization.

Boston Red Sox pitcher Garrett Whitlock (hip) is expected to return from the injured list this weekend. The 26-year-old made it through his second minor league rehab outing on Tuesday.

Rich Hill To Throw On Thursday

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Rich Hill (knee) is scheduled to throw another bullpen session on Thursday. The 42-year-old threw off flat ground on Wednesday, so he appears to be making progress.

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Jon Gray put together a masterful performance versus the Oakland Athletics on Wednesday.

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Kyle Hendricks (shoulder) is still two or three weeks away from being able to play catch, according to manager David Ross.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (back) remains out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Houston Astros. The superstar outfielder was pulled from Tuesday's contest due to back spasms. This issue isn't something that is expected to require a stint on the injured list.

Nick Senzel Gets Scratched On Wednesday

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Nick Senzel (back) has been scratched from Wednesday's game against the New York Yankees. The 27-year-old appears to be dealing with back stiffness, so he shouldn't land on the injured list.

San Diego Padres outfielder Esteury Ruiz is in the starting lineup for the second straight day. The 23-year-old made his MLB debut on Tuesday with a two hit performance.

Jo Adell Recalled On Wednesday

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jo Adell has been recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake on Wednesday. The once top former prospect has failed to establish himself in the big leagues.

The Cowboys could […]

Nikola Jovic Doesn't Practice On Monday

Miami Heat forward Nikola Jovic (quad) was unable to practice on Monday. This quad issue seems minor, but the team will likely be cautious with Jovic.

Omer Yurtseven Doesn't Practice On Monday

Miami Heat center Omer Yurtseven (quad) was unable to practice on Monday. The team is going to take the cautious approach and rest Yurtseven during Tuesday's summer league contest. He tweaked his quad during the World Cup qualifiers, so there's a good chance won't play at all in Las Vegas. The expectation is that Yurtseven […]

Pacers Have Serious Interest In Deandre Ayton

The Indiana Pacers are reportedly serious about bringing in Deandre Ayton this summer. The superstar big man wants a max deal, but the Phoenix Suns appear unwilling to do that.

However, Lynch wasn't pitching that well before […]

Kevin Gausman Likely To Return On Tuesday

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Kevin Gausman (ankle) is hopeful to return to the starting rotation on Tuesday.

The organization sounds optimistic that Gausman will be […]

Royals Acquire Drew Waters

The Kansas City Royals have acquired outfielder Drew Waters, pitcher Andrew Hoffmann, and infielder CJ Alexander from the Atlanta Braves. In exchange, the Braves will receive a competitive balance selection (35th overall) in the 2022 MLB Draft.

Robinson Cano Joins Braves Roster

Atlanta Braves infielder Robinson Cano has been recalled to the big league roster on Monday. The 39-year-old was acquired by the Braves in a trade with the San Diego Padres over the weekend. The veteran second baseman is hitting .149/.182/.189 with one homer in 77 plate appearances this season. He offers basically nothing in terms […]
