Seattle Mariners infielder Robinson Cano (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Houston Astros. This appears to be a routine rest day for the veteran slugger.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp caught six passes for 63 yards in the 34-0 victory over the Cardinals on Sunday. He was targeted six times and was able to bring in all of them. Both Brandin Cooks and Robert Woods were making plays as well, so Kupp is going to have to share […]

A fairly […]

Kareem Hunt Has Bounce-Back Game

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt finished with 49 yards during the Week 1 victory over the Chargers. The air attack has been excellent for the Chiefs, so Hunt could see less of a workload this season. Hunt had 18 carries for 75 yards and did catch a five-yard pass for a touchdown in […]

Chirinos should be a sleeper […]

Wil Myers Will Lead Off on Saturday

San Diego Padres third baseman Wil Myers will lead off and play third base against lefty Alex Claudio on Saturday.
