Los Angeles Angels outfielder Taylor Ward went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a strikeout in the team's 8-3 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday.

Mickey Moniak Is Taking Swings

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mickey Moniak (finger) is taking dry swings after breaking his left middle finger while attempting to bunt.

[…]

Miami Marlins left-hander Trevor Rogers (back) looked great in his minor league rehab start for Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday.

Joe Flacco Likely To Start In Week 1

Although New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh said the team can wait until the week before the Sept. 11 regular season opener against the Baltimore Ravens to name a starting quarterback between Zach Wilson (knee) and veteran Joe Flacco, all signs point to Flacco getting the start.

Nick Vannett Might Be Expendable

New Orleans Saints tight end Nick Vannett is a trade/cut candidate with training camp nearing an end, according to league sources.

Darrel Williams Could Be A Surprise Cut

Arizona Cardinals running back Darrel Williams could be a surprise cut or trade candidate this summer, according to multiple league sources.

However, Williams has played […]

O.J. Howard In Danger Of Being Cut

Buffalo Bills tight end O.J. Howard is in danger of being cut from the roster before the regular season.

Howard was on the field for just […]

Eric Fisher Wants To Play In 2022

Former No. 1 overall pick and offensive tackle Eric Fisher said he wants to play this year but will be selective. He's already turned down offers from nine teams so far.

Treylon Burks Doesn't Practice Thursday

Tennessee Titans rookie wide receiver Treylon Burks didn't take part in Thursday's training camp practice due to undisclosed reasons. Burks left Wednesday's practice due to undisclosed reasons as well. The 22-year-old had conditioning issues related to asthma in the spring, so it's fair to wonder if it's related to that. Burks, a first-round selection eventually […]
