Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Brandon Williamson won't make his scheduled start on Sunday due to COVID-19, according to manager David Bell.

Emmet Sheehan Named Saturday's Starter

Detroit Tigers shortstop Javier Baez is back in Saturday's starting lineup versus the Chicago White Sox. The right-handed slugger is back in the lineup after missing each of the last three games.

Tyrion Davis-Price Earns Roster Spot

San Francisco 49ers running back Tyrion Davis-Price has earned himself a spot on the 53-man roster. The former third-round pick is coming off a disappointing rookie campaign.

Sean Tucker Makes 53-Man Roster

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Sean Tucker has earned a spot on the team's 53-man roster. The undrafted back was impressive during training camp and throughout the preseason. Tucker is joined by Rachaad White, Chase Edmonds, and Ke'Shawn Vaughn in the backfield. It's one of the weaker running back rooms in the NFL, which is […]

Zach Evans Makes Initial Roster

Los Angeles Rams running back Zach Evans appears to have a spot on the 53-man roster. The rookie is one of four backs to make the opening week roster. However, Cam Akers and Kyren Williams appear to have the first two spots on the depth chart locked up. That means, Evans will be competing with […]

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans continues to discuss a possible long term extension with the organization. However, the 30-year-old doesn't want this to be a distraction for him during the season. That being said, Evans has given the team until September 9th to finalize an extension.

Patriots Sign Jalen Reagor

The New England Patriots have signed wide receiver Jalen Reagor to their practice squad. Reagor was waived by the Minnesota Vikings earlier this week.

Jesus Luzardo Looks Fantastic On Wednesday

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Jesus Luzardo was impressive on the mound during Wednesday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. The left-hander threw six scoreless innings, allowing only one hit and walked two batters. Sadly, Luzardo was handed a no-decision after his offense didn't give him any run support. He'll take his 3.62 ERA, 1.22 WHIP, […]

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder J.D. Martinez (groin) appears to be making progress after landing on the injured list earlier this month. The veteran outfielder has resumed swinging a bat on Wednesday. Now, the plan is for Martinez to take live batting practice on Thursday before heading out on a rehab assignment. The hope is that […]

Ryan Pressly Secures 29th Save

Houston Astros relief pitcher Ryan Pressly has been one of the more reliable closers throughout this season.

Kobi Simmons Waived By Hornets

Charlotte Hornets guard Kobi Simmons has been waived by the team. The 26-year-old made five appearances with the Hornets last year.
