The right-hander went six innings, allowing six hits and two runs while striking out four batters. The 24-year-old earned a quality start for his effort, but also was handed a no-decision. He'll carry a 4.19 ERA, 1.32 […]

Denver Broncos wide receiver Kendall Hinton (knee) was placed on the unable to perform list on Sunday.

Hinton will need […]

KJ Hamler Placed On Non-Football Injury List
Denver Broncos wide receiver KJ Hamler has been placed on the non-football injury list on Sunday. This seems like a formality after Hamler underwent major muscular surgery on his pectoral in March.

Chase Claypool Placed On PUP List
Chicago Bears wide receiver Chase Claypool was placed on the physically unable to perform list on Sunday. The 25-year-old has been in and out of team activities while he's dealing with some unknown issues. It's apparently significant enough that the Bears felt the need to place him on the PUP list. Claypool is heading into […]

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman was recently placed on the did not report list, which started raising questions about his status.

It's still uncertain why Bateman […]

Javonte Williams To Avoid PUP List
Denver Broncos running back Javonte Williams (knee) will avoid going on the PUP list to begin training camp. That is great news after Williams has been trending in the right direction over the last few weeks. The organization does not believe he'll need that mandated four games on the PUP list. The 23-year-old is expected […]

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Max Fried (forearm) will make at least one more rehab start after pitching on Friday with Triple-A Gwinnett.

St. Louis Cardinals catcher Willson Contreras (hip) was forced to exit early during Saturday's game against the Chicago Cubs. The 31-year-old was pulled after five innings due to right hip tightness.

Zach Neto Scratched On Saturday
Los Angeles Angels shortstop Zach Neto (back) has been scratched from the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Joey Wiemer Sitting Out On Saturday
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Joey Wiemer is not in the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Atlanta Braves. This was expected after the Brewers decided to recall outfielder Sal Frelick on Saturday. Frelick will probably cut into Wiemer's playing time going forward. Wiemer is a solid defender, but his .207/.292/.386 slash line isn't strong […]

Joey Gallo, Willi Castro Remain Out On Saturday
Minnesota Twins outfielders Joey Gallo (eye) and Willi Castro (eye) will both be held out of Saturday's starting lineup against the Chicago White Sox.

Chicago White Sox outfielder/first baseman Andrew Vaughn (foot) will be sidelined for the fourth straight game on Saturday. He fouled a ball off his foot on Tuesday and hasn't been able to play since then. The X-rays came back negative, so hopefully Vaughn won't require a trip to the injured list. Yasmani Grandal will cover […]

Alex Faedo Recalled, Starting Sunday
Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Alex Faedo has been recalled to take the mound against the San Diego Padres on Sunday. It doesn't sound like the Tigers plan to move anyone out of their rotation.
