Michael Porter Jr. Could Return In First Round

Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. (back) has a chance at returning to the court during the first round series against the Golden State Warriors.

Scottie Barnes Tagged As Doubtful For Monday

Wil Myers Absent On Saturday

San Diego Padres outfielder Wil Myers (thumb) is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Atlanta Braves. He'll miss his second game in a row due to right thumb soreness.

Travis d'Arnaud Sitting Out On Saturday

Atlanta Braves catcher Travis d'Arnaud (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the San Diego Padres. The 33-year-old has been hitting well this season, so this appears to be a routine day off. Veteran catcher Manny Pina will draw the start behind the plate and bat ninth versus right-hander Nick Martinez. […]

Atlanta Braves outfielder Eddie Rosario (rest) will return to the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the San Diego Padres.
