Joe Mixon Currently in Walking Boot

Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon (foot) did not participate in voluntary OTA workouts on Friday. Mixon is currently in a walking boot, but it's reportedly not a serious injury.

[…]

Minnesota Twins infielder Royce Lewis will head to the bench ahead of Tuesday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. Lewis has started the last 10 games, so he could use a day off to rest. He's in the middle of an 0-for-18 slump, so maybe a day off will help him get back on track. […]
