Tee Higgins To “Play A Huge Role” In Offense

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins is "going to play a huge role" this season, according to offensive coordinator Brian Callahan.

Arizona Diamondbacks infielder/outfielder Ketel Marte (hamstring) wasn't in the starting lineup for Sunday's clash against San Diego.

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Cole Irvin was dominant during Sunday's outing over the Giants.

Corey Seager Is Still Without A Timetable

Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Corey Seager (hand) may not return in July, as previously reported.

Skipper Dave Roberts indicated that the 27-year-old is still dealing with soreness, and until that goes away, […]

Victor Robles Day-To-Day

Washington Nationals outfielder Victor Robles (knee) is considered day-to-day. Robles was nailed by a pitch during Sunday's outing against Miami, which resulted in his premature exit.

Jamal Murray Remains Without A Return Date

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (knee) does not have a timetable for a return.

Knicks Reportedly Interested In Lonzo Ball

New Orleans Pelicans guard Lonzo Ball is rumored to be on the Knicks' radar for the 2021-22 campaign.

Atlanta Hawks forward Bogdan Bogdanovic (knee) is questionable for the Game 3 Eastern Conference Finals matchup against the Bucks.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) popped up on injury report ahead of Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Zach Plesac (thumb) threw another bullpen session on Saturday.

O’s Planning For Freddy Galvis To Be Out On Sunday

Buster Posey Out Of The Lineup On Friday

San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey (back) is not in the starting lineup on Friday. The veteran is dealing with lower back tightness, although it isn't known precisely how severe it is. Curt Casali will get some work as the temporary backstop against the Athletics, but he doesn't offer much of an upside, so fantasy […]

Logan Webb To Throw In A Sim Inning

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Logan Webb (shoulder) will toss in a simulated inning this week.

Though the righty still has a way to go, […]

Chicago Cubs second baseman David Bote (shoulder) could begin a rehab assignment as early as next week.

Justin Dunn Visits A Specialist

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Justin Dunn (shoulder) recently visited a specialist, with the team expected to provide an update over the weekend. Dunn remains out of the lineup after he was diagnosed with a muscle strain in his right shoulder nearly a week ago. The righty was initially expected to be shut down for two […]

Travis Blankenhorn Called Up From Syracuse

New York Mets second baseman Travis Blankenhorn was recalled from Triple-A on Friday. The 24-year-old, who was optioned just two weeks ago, will suit up for another stint with the big club after Jonathan Villar (calf) was placed on the 10-day injured reserve. The 24-year-old hasn't done much outside of Syracuse, compiling just one hit […]

Jonathan Villar Placed On 10-Day Injured List

New York Mets second baseman Jonathan Villar (calf) has been placed on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to June 22.
