New York Mets starting pitcher Jacob deGrom (shoulder) is on track to make his season debut for the Mets next week, according to manager Buck Showalter.

Max Kepler Still Out Against Padres

Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler (toe) remains out of the starting lineup on Friday against the San Diego Padres. Kepler will miss his third straight game while dealing with a displaced fracture in his right pinkie toe.

Pirates Agree With First-Rounder Termarr Johnson

The Pittsburgh Pirates agreed with infielder Termarr Johnson, the No. 4 pick in this year's draft, to an over-slot deal worth $7,219,000 on Friday.

San Diego Padres left-hander MacKenzie Gore (elbow) continues to be evaluated and likely will for the next few days, but initial word is that he can avoid surgery.

Bo Bichette Out With Sore Shoulder

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette (shoulder) collided with outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. in left field on Thursday night, and his left shoulder is sore.

Bobby Witt Jr. Remains Out Friday

Kansas City Royals rookie shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. (hamstring) is still out of the starting lineup on Friday against the New York Yankees. Witt will miss his fifth straight game with a hamstring injury, but he's expected to avoid a trip to the injured list. If the 22-year-old can't return at some point this weekend, […]

The Kansas City Royals reinstated catcher Salvador Perez (thumb) from the injured list on Friday and optioned infielder Emmanuel Rivera to Triple-A Omaha in a corresponding move.

George Springer Not Starting Friday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (elbow) is not in the starting lineup on Friday against the Detroit Tigers.

New York Mets starting pitcher Jacob deGrom (shoulder) is with the team in Miami for the start of their weekend series against the Marlins, which begins on Friday.

Willson Contreras Scrubs Cubs References On Social Media

Chicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras has removed everything Cubs-related from his Instagram account.

The New York Yankees, Chicago White Sox, Minnesota Twins, St. Louis Cardinals, Los Angeles Dodgers, Toronto Blue Jays, Milwaukee Brewers and Seattle […]

Austin Romine Activated From Restricted List

The St. Louis Cardinals activated catcher Austin Romine from the restricted list on Thursday. The Cardinals also optioned outfielder Conner Capel, catcher Ivan Herrera and second baseman Cory Spangenberg to Triple-A Memphis. Romine was unavailable to play in a two-game series in Toronto this week against the Blue Jays because he's unvaccinated. With Yadier Molina […]

Yuli Gurriel Steals Sixth Base Thursday

Houston Astros first baseman Yuli Gurriel went 1-for-3 with a run scored and his sixth stolen base of the season in Thursday's 4-2 win over the division-rival Seattle Mariners. His six stolen bases this year is a career-high after he swiped a combined six stolen bases in the last three seasons. Otherwise, the 38-year-old has […]

Trey Mancini Homers Against Rays

Baltimore Orioles designated hitter Trey Mancini went 2-for-4 with two RBI, a run scored and a strikeout in the 3-0 win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday. The long ball was his 10th of the season, a two-run shot, and he's had multiple hits in each of his last two games. The 30-year-old is […]

Paul Goldschmidt, Nolan Arenado Back From Restricted List

The St. Louis Cardinals activated first baseman Paul Goldschmidt and third baseman Nolan Arenado from the restricted list on Thursday, and they'll be available to play on Friday in the series opener against the Washington Nationals after they were unavailable to play in the two-game series in Toronto this week against the Blue Jays because […]

Nationals To Make Juan Soto Another Offer

The Washington Nationals plan to make another offer to All-Star outfielder Juan Soto, which will be their last. If Soto doesn't accept the offer, he will be traded before Tuesday's deadline.

Romeo Doubs Looks NFL-Ready

Green Bay Packers rookie fourth-round wide receiver Romeo Doubs has looked NFL-ready early in training camp. Doubs was the star of the second practice day when he caught an eight-yard touchdown pass on a fade from quarterback Aaron Rodgers over cornerback Eric Stokes. Winning jump balls is a good way to gain Rodgers' trust, and […]

Baker Mayfield Doesn't Impress Thursday

Carolina Panthers quarterback Baker Mayfield made some poor decisions on the field while taking first-team repetitions at training camp practice on Thursday. Two of his first three passes in 7-on-7 drills should have been intercepted, and they were the type of mistakes the Panthers are trying to eliminate. Head coach Matt Rhule will continue flip-flopping […]

Matt Ryan Pushing The Pace At Training Camp

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Matt Ryan has followed through on his vow to raise the intensity of training camp in his first summer with the Colts, and he's done it by demanding a greater tempo between snaps. "It's unbelievable," head coach Frank Reich said. "We've never practiced that fast. It's a mentality. It's a confidence. He […]

Javonte Williams Getting First Look With Starters

Denver Broncos second-year running back Javonte Williams has gotten the first look with the starters each day of training camp practice so far, but Melvin Gordon has also received some snaps with the starters as well. Head coach Nathaniel Hackett continues to say he sees an active role for both players in the offense. The […]

Kenny Pickett Struggles In Second Camp Practice

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett struggled in his second training camp practice on Thursday, throwing an interception on his first live, team-period repetition. He also had an interception to end Wednesday's practice. Pickett has consistently taken reps with the third-stringers, but the early struggles aren't a major cause for concern. Head coach Mike Tomlin […]

Lamar Jackson's Throws Have More Zip On Them

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson bulked up in the offseason, and it has shown on his throws so far in training camp. He has thrown the ball with more velocity and had tighter spirals. Jackson was 12-for-17 (70.5%) on his passes in team drills on Thursday, including a 55-yard touchdown pass to rookie Isaiah Likely. […]

Arik Armstead Out A Few Weeks With Sprained MCL

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that defensive lineman Arik Armstead (knee) sprained his MCL in training camp practice and will be out for a few weeks. His knee injury isn't considered serious, so Armstead still has a chance to be ready for Week 1. The 28-year-old former first-round selection had a career-high […]

Taysom Hill To Miss Time With Rib Injury

New Orleans Saints tight end Taysom Hill (ribs) got hit in the ribs on Thursday and will be out for a while at training camp. The good news is the injury has nothing to do with his Lisfranc foot injury, but Hill will now be back on the sidelines. But this isn't great news for […]

Derek Stingley Expected To Be Ready For Week 1

Houston Texans head coach Lovie Smith said the team is ramping up cornerback Derek Stingley (foot) in training camp, and he's expected to be ready for Week 1 against the Indianapolis Colts.

Ryan Jensen Feared To Have Suffered Season-Ending Injury

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are awaiting final word, but the fear is that Pro Bowl center Ryan Jensen (knee) suffered a season-ending knee injury when he was carted off the field at practice on Thursday, according to sources.

Sammy Watkins Ready To Practice

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Sammy Watkins (hamstring) sounds ready to practice on Friday at training camp, and head coach Matt LaFleur said the plan is to take Watkins off the Non-Football Injury list. It's good news for the 29-year-old veteran pass-catcher as he looks to gain chemistry with quarterback Aaron Rodgers in his first […]

Miles Sanders Working With Second-Team Offense

Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders is getting carries with the second-team offense in training camp practice on Friday. Perhaps this is exactly why Sanders warned fantasy managers not to draft him this year. He was limited to just 12 games in 2021 due to injuries after he produced 1,327 scrimmage yards in his rookie […]

Jarrett Stidham Leading The Backup QB Battle

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Jarrett Stidham is leading the way in the backup QB battle with Nick Mullens early in training camp. Stidham is familiar with the system from his time working with head coach Josh McDaniels in New England. He looked poised and made a few nice throws in practice on Thursday. Mullens has […]
