Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman Max Muncy (wrist) is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Byron Buxton Suffers Setback

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton (shoulder) was getting close to a rehab assignment but began feeling discomfort in his shoulder.

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier (ribs) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Houston Astros.

Avisail Garcia will […]

Scooter Gennett Released by Giants

San Francisco Giants second baseman Scooter Gennett has been released by the organization on Tuesday. Gennett is hitting .226/.245/.323 this season and hasn't shown much promise with the bat.

Patrick Mahomes Hasn't Missed A Beat

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes continues to play well in the preseason. Mahomes has completed 14-of-19 passing attempts for 203 yards and a touchdown through three preseason games.
