The Houston Rockets are reportedly interested in bringing back Jae'Sean Tate, Aaron Holiday, and Jeff Green. All three players are free agents, but the Rockets want to re-sign all three of them.

Lars Nootbaar Out Against Southpaw

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Lars Nootbaar is out of the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Chicago Cubs.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Garrett Mitchell (oblique, shoulder) could require another surgery on his shoulder after suffering an injury during a minor-league rehab game on Friday.
