Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Justus Sheffield (oblique) struggled heavily during his rehab start with Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday.

Clearly, he needs more time in the […]

He'll take a 4.50 […]

Denzel Mims Plays Well In Preseason Opener

New York Jets wide receiver Denzel Mims was probably the last player you'd expect to play well right now. He has been sidelined in recent practices and trade rumors have been swirling around as well.

Michael Carter Gets Involved In Preseason Opener

New York Jets running back Michael Carter was able to get his first chance versus an NFL defense on Saturday. To be fair, it was a preseason matchup versus the New York Giants, but it's something.

New York Jets running back La'Mical Perine get plenty of chances during Saturday's preseason matchup with the New York Giants. Perine saw 12 carries, but managed only 30 yards on the ground.

Dillon Peters Will Start On Sunday

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Dillon Peters will make the start against the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday.

Wade LeBlanc Likely To Have Extended Absence

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Wade LeBlanc (elbow) is expected to miss more than 10 days on the injured list. It sounds like he won't return when eligible while he deals with an elbow injury. This is frustrating news for the Cards with Kwang Hyun Kim (elbow) also sidelined right now. The Cardinals are hopeful […]

Kwang Hyun Kim Could Miss Extended Time

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Kwang Hyun Kim (elbow) is not expected to come off the injured list when first eligible. He is currently dealing with elbow inflammation and will need more time to recover.

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Mallex Smith has been traded to the Toronto Blue Jays in exchange for cash considerations.

Salvon Ahmed Posts Respectable Outing

Miami Dolphins running back Salvon Ahmed didn't get much attention heading into the preseason. The Dolphins have both Malcolm Brown and Myles Gaskin who appear to be well above Ahmed on the depth chart. Despite that, Ahmed looked like the best running back during their first preseason matchup. He rushed six times for 40 yards […]

Myles Gaskin Sees Limited Workload

Miami Dolphins running back Myles Gaskin came out of nowhere and ran away with the starting job last season. However, the Dolphins added Malcolm Brown this offseason as insurance. Brown started during Saturday's preseason opener, but could barely manage a yard per carry. Gaskin finished with 19 yards on four attempts, which is nearly five […]

Malcolm Brown Starts In Preseason Opener

Miami Dolphins running back Malcolm Brown took snaps with the first unit during Saturday's preseason opener. That would suggest Brown is ahead of Myles Gaskin on the depth chart.
