Carlos Correa Should Return This Week

Houston Astros shortstop Carlos Correa (back) is expected to be activated off the 10-day injured list sometime this week. Correa has been sidelined since August 20 due to a lower back issue.

Demarcus Robinson had a huge game, catching […]

Demarcus Robinson Has An Excellent Game

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Demarcus Robinson had himself a fantastic game against the Oakland Raiders in Week 2. Robinson caught all six of his targets for 172 yards and two touchdowns.

Kansas City Chiefs running back LeSean McCoy wasn't able to get anything going on the ground during Sunday's Week 2 victory over the Oakland Raiders.

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce got off to a bit of a slow start against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 1.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins had a historic game against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 1. He caught nine passes for 198 yards and three touchdowns in the victory.

Sam Dyson Has Been Shut Down for the Season

Minnesota Twins relief pitcher Sam Dyson (biceps) has been shut down for the rest of the regular season. Dyson began feeling pain in his right biceps again, so the team will take the cautious approach.
