Christian McCaffrey Absent from Wednesday's Practice

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey (calf, rest) did not participate in practice on Wednesday.

Matt Shaw Scratched from Wednesday's Lineup

Chicago Cubs third baseman Matt Shaw (personal) was scratched from the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Braves.

Houston Astros starting pitcher Luis Garcia (elbow) was placed on the 15-day injured list on Wednesday. Garcia felt elbow discomfort after pitching in only his second game of the season.

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton (knee) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the Los Angeles Angels.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (shoulder) is uncertain to return to the field for Sunday's season opener against the Seattle Seahawks. Jennings was forced to exit the game with a shoulder injury in the second half. His absence is certainly a blow with George Kittle (hamstring) also banged up. If Jennings doesn't return, […]

Clearly, Rodgers still has something left in the tank as he was sharp on Sunday. Rodgers completed 22-of-30 passing […]
