Detroit Tigers shortstop Javier Baez (arm) was lifted for a pinch hitter during the sixth inning of Sunday's game against the Minnesota Twins.

Taylor Ward Lifted During Sunday's Game

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Taylor Ward (leg) was pulled for a pinch runner during Sunday's game against the Atlanta Braves.

Fantasy managers […]

Eric Gordon Projected To Be Starter

Houston Rockets guard/forward Eric Gordon is projected to be in the starting five heading into next season, according to Kelly Iko.

Dallas Mavericks guard Josh Green is working to improve his ball-handling and three-point shot this offseason. The 21-year-old did look solid at times with his corner three, but he eventually fell out of the rotation.

Denver Nuggets guard Bones Hyland has reportedly put on six pounds of muscle this offseason.

Carlos Rodon To Open Second Half On Thursday

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Carlos Rodon (finger) will open the second half against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday.

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter has been reportedly discussing a long-term extension with the organization.
