Tigers Expected To Hold Onto Jonathan Schoop

Detroit Tigers second baseman Jonathan Schoop is unlikely to be moved before the July 30 trade deadline.

Miami Marlins first baseman Jesus Aguilar is likely going to stay with the organization.

Kansas City Royals second baseman White Merrifield is unlikely to be traded by the July 30 deadline.

Trey Mancini, John Means Unlikely To Be Dealt

Baltimore Orioles first baseman and starting pitcher John Means are unlikely to be dealt by the end of the trade deadline on July 30. Means is looking like a prime trade candidate, but has struggled since returning from a shoulder injury. He is under team control until 2024, so the team has no rush to […]

Toronto Blue Jays outfield Lourdes Gurriel Jr. (elbow) is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Boston Red Sox.

Marcus Maye Activated From Non-Football Injury List

New York Jets safety Marcus Maye has been activated off the non-football injury list. He passed his physical and should have no problems heading into training camp.

New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson remains unsigned as training camp begins. The No. 2 overall pick has not reported to camp yet. It sounds like the Jets are unlikely to budge on contract talks.

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Charlie Morton wasn't perfect on Tuesday, but did his job versus the New York Mets.
