Kevin Gausman Won't Start Tuesday

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Kevin Gausman (ankle) was in play to start on Tuesday against the Philadelphia Phillies, but right-hander Jose Berrios will make the start instead.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert is not in the starting lineup for Game 1 of a doubleheader on Tuesday against the Cleveland Guardians.

Cole Kmet Preparing For Bigger Role

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet's first two seasons in the NFL haven't exactly gone as planned, and his chemistry with quarterback Justin Fields lagged behind that of receiver Darnell Mooney and tight end Jesse James in 2021. But Kmet is preparing for a bigger role heading into his third season with offensive coordinator Luke […]

Brandon Aiyuk Struggles During Offseason Workouts

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk's performances during organized team activities and minicamp weren't what you'd expect from a former first-round pick entering his third year in the system. Instead of Aiyuk, it was Ray-Ray McCloud making play after play in practices with Deebo Samuel sitting out. Aiyuk and quarterback Trey Lance worked out […]

Kyle Philips Getting Some Attention

Tennessee Titans fifth-round rookie wide receiver Kyle Philips impressed during offseason workouts. "Kyle's definitely a great route-runner," quarterback Ryan Tannehill said.

San Diego Padres outfielder Wil Myers (knee) said he will run the bases to test his knee on Thursday and will also shag fly balls for a few days before the team discusses his next steps on his rehab. If Myers feels fine over the next couple days, there's a good chance he'll be cleared […]

The Toronto Blue Jays placed left-hander Yusei Kikuchi (neck) on the 15-day injured list on Thursday with a neck strain and recalled right-hander Max Castillo from Triple-A Buffalo in a corresponding move.

George Springer Out Again Thursday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer remains out of the starting lineup on Thursday against the Seattle Mariners. Springer will start on the bench for the second straight game, but there hasn't been any word that he's injured. He's hitting just .195 (16-for-82) with 15 strikeouts in 22 games over the last 28 days, so […]

Joey Votto Also Out For Game 2

Cincinnati Reds first baseman Joey Votto (back) will sit out of the starting lineup once again for Game 2 of a doubleheader on Thursday against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Chicago White Sox first baseman/outfielder Andrew Vaughn (illness) is feeling under the weather on Thursday, which is why he's out of the starting lineup against the Detroit Tigers, according to manager Tony La Russa.

Enrique Hernandez To Start Rehab Assignment Friday

Boston Red Sox infielder/outfielder Enrique Hernandez (hip) will begin his minor league rehab assignment on Friday for Triple-A Worcester.

Michael Wacha Won't Pitch Friday

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Michael Wacha (arm) has not bounced back well from his side session and is still battling a "heavy arm."
