Ke'Bryan Hayes Scratched From Sunday's Lineup

Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes (knee) has been scratched from Sunday's starting lineup against the Philadelphia Phillies with left knee discomfort.

The Seattle Mariners are calling up outfield prospect Jarred Kelenic from Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday.

[…]

Brewers Have Discussed Joey Gallo

The New York Yankees and Milwaukee Brewers have discussed outfielder Joey Gallo, who may fit Milwaukee much better than New York City.

Tyler O'Neill Not Starting Against Nationals

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill (leg) is not in the starting lineup on Sunday against the Washington Nationals.

Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor isn't putting a timetable on when quarterback Joe Burrow (appendix) will return to training camp practices after undergoing an appendectomy earlier this week.

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie pass-rusher Travon Walker, the No. 1 overall pick in this year's draft, flashed his potential in Saturday's training camp practice.

Travis Etienne Jr. Impressing In Training Camp

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. has arguably been the biggest star of training camp so far, picking up at least one explosive gain in each practice.

Zach Wilson Inconsistent Early In Training Camp

New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson looked more comfortable dealing with pressure from the defensive line at training camp practice on Friday than he did the day prior, but two of his three incompletions on the day were interceptions.
