Austin Gomber To Return On Friday

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Austin Gomber (paternity) is set to take the mound on Friday versus the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Kenta Maeda Pushed Back Until Saturday

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Kenta Maeda will have his start pushed back a few days. The veteran righty will take the ball against the New York Yankees on Saturday instead of pitching Thursday. The 33-year-old was solid last time out, but has been disappointing throughout most of the 2021 season. It's tough to imagine that […]

George Springer Diagnosed With Grade 1 Sprain

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (knee) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. The 31-year-old outfielder signed a massive extension with the organization over the offseason, but has played in a total of 49 games this season.

Elijah Moore Hopeful To Return Soon

New York Jets wide receiver Elijah Moore (quad) is hopeful to return to practice at some point next week. He is currently listed as day-to-day after suffering a quad injury during practice last week.

Atlanta Braves catcher Travis d'Arnaud has been heating up with the bat since his return from the injured list. On Monday, d'Arnaud went 2-for-5 with two doubles, two RBI, and a walk in the 12-2 win over the Miami Marlins. It's going to take time for d'Arnaud to get completely back into the groove of […]

Albert Wilson Could Have Sizable Role

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Albert Wilson is a player that has likely be forgotten on the depth chart. He decided to sit out the 2020 campaign, but showed some promising play during the 2019 season. The reports are that Wilson has looked good in training camp and could earn himself a legitimate role in this […]

Myles Gaskin Could Be Stuck In Three-Back Committee

Miami Dolphins running back Myles Gaskin could have trouble finding the same success that he did in 2020. Last season, Gaskin seemingly came out of nowhere and ran away with the lead back job. A year later, the Dolphins added Malcolm Brown who started in the team's first preseason game. The Dolphins also have Salvon […]

Stefon Diggs To Remain Sidelined

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs (knee) is unlikely going to suit up during the preseason.

Padres Nearing Deal With Jake Arrieta

The San Diego Padres appear close to signing former CY Young award winner Jake Arrieta. Sadly, the days of Arrieta being an elite pitcher are far behind him. He posted a horrendous 6.88 ERA over 20 starts with the Chicago Cubs this season. The right-hander was released by the organization last week. The Padres could […]

Dansby Swanson Goes Yard On Sunday

Atlanta Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson continues to show impressive power at the plate this season. On Sunday, Swanson went 2-for-5 with a home run and 2 RBI in the 6-5 victory over the Washington Nationals. The two-run shot off righty Paolo Espino marked Swanson's 24th home run of the season.

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Justus Sheffield (oblique) struggled heavily during his rehab start with Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday.
