Ryan Brasier to Serve as Opener on Monday

Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Ryan Brasier is set to serve as the opener ahead of Monday's game against the Kansas City Royals.

David Robertson Signing with Phillies

According to Jon Heyman, the Philadelphia Phillies have signed relief pitcher David Robertson to a one-year deal. Honestly, it's shocking that it took this long for Robertson to get a deal. The right-hander threw for scouts on Saturday and secured a deal the next day. Last season, Robertson posted a 3.00 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and […]

Francisco Alvarez Recalled to Big Leagues

New York Mets catcher Francisco Alvarez is expected to be recalled from Triple-A Syracuse on Monday.

Yuki Kawamura Signs Two-Way Deal with Bulls

The Chicago Bulls have signed guard Yuki Kawamura to a two-way deal over the weekend. This doesn't come as a shock given how well Kawamura has been playing in the summer league. In five summer league contests, Kawamura averaged 10.2 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 6.2 assists in 23.9 minutes per game. The 24-year-old saw limited […]

Jake Bauers Heads to Injured List

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Jake Bauers (shoulder) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Sunday. Bauers had seen an increase in playing time lately, but is now set to miss a few weeks due to a left shoulder impingement.

Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Mookie Betts will make his return to the lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. Betts sat out on Saturday for rest purposes, but is back in the mix now. He's in the middle of a terrible slump at the plate where he has only 21 hits over his […]

Chicago Bears defensive back Jaylon Johnson has been placed on the non-football injury list on Saturday. The Bears also placed Case Keenum, Jahdae Walker, and Ian Wheeler on the NFI list as well.

Erick All Jr. Placed on PUP List

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Erick All Jr. (knee) has been placed on the active/physically unable to perform list on Saturday.

The New Orleans Saints have signed defensive end Jonathan Bullard to an undisclosed deal on Saturday. Bullard has decided to head to New Orleans after visiting with the team last month.

Brandon Lowe Dealing with Plantar Fasciitis

Tampa Bay Rays second baseman Brandon Lowe (foot) was forced to make an early exit from Saturday's game against the Baltimore Orioles.

Houston Astros starting pitcher Spencer Arrighetti (thumb) took the mound for a rehab start with Double-A Corpus Christi on Saturday. This was his first rehab start since Arrighetti fractured his thumb in early April. It was a solid outing as he tossed three scoreless innings, allowing one hit, and striking out four batters. He'll need […]

Isaac Paredes to Undergo MRI

Houston Astros third baseman Isaac Paredes (hamstring) was forced to make an early exit from Saturday's game against the Seattle Mariners.

Mookie Betts Could Miss Sunday's Game

Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Mookie Betts was not in the starting lineup during Saturday's contest. Manager Dave Roberts said he wanted to give Betts a mental break given his offensive struggles heading into the All-Star break. It has been ugly as Betts has only 21 hits over his last 30 games. Roberts mentioned that Betts […]
