Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Willy Adames (ankle) is not in the starting lineup on Monday against the Atlanta Braves.

The Seattle Mariners placed right-hander Drew Steckenrider on the restricted list on Monday and selected left-hander Roenis Elias' contract from Triple-A Tacoma in a corresponding move.

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton (knee) is in the starting lineup for the second straight day on Monday, starting in center field and batting leadoff against Oakland Athletics left-hander Zach Logue.

Dallas Cowboys third-round wide receiver Jalen Tolbert has a chance to make the biggest immediate impact of all the team's rookies this year.

NFL Wrapping Up Deshaun Watson Investigation?

NFL officials are currently scheduled to meet with Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson in Texas this week, according to league sources.

[…]

Tennessee Titans fifth-round wide receiver Kyle Philips looked good at rookie minicamp over the weekend. He was arguably the biggest star of the day on Friday, when he caught one pass after another.

Tennessee Titans rookie quarterback Malik Willis isn't in a competition with Ryan Tannehill right now, and he won't be breathing down Tannehill's neck to win the starting job in training camp either.

Griffin Canning Has A Setback

Los Angeles Angels right-hander Griffin Canning (back), who is currently on the 60-day injured list due to a lower back stress fracture, felt some soreness after a two-inning simulated game on May 9, so he will pause his throwing program for a few days.
