Washington Football Team running back Antonio Gibson (toe) was diagnosed with a painful case of turf toe, which may cause him to miss the Week 14 game against the 49ers, according to a source. Gibson's status is in doubt, and he'll be evaluated as the week progresses. Turf-toe injuries can often linger for weeks, so […]

Padres Sign Brian O'Grady

The San Diego Padres signed outfielder Brian O'Grady to a major league deal on Tuesday. O'Grady has hit just .213 with a .749 OPS over parts of two seasons with the Reds and Rays so far in his career, but the 28-year-old brings speed and power upside and should give the Friars some depth and […]

The Las Vegas Raiders are bringing in veteran running back Spencer Ware for a visit.

The San Francisco 49ers released wide receiver Jordan Matthews from the practice squad on Tuesday.

Fiers, 35, went 6-3 with a 4.58 ERA in 11 starts for the A's during the shortened 2020 season, adding 37 strikeouts in his 59 innings pitched. The veteran right-hander doesn't move the needle all that […]

White Sox Targeting Michael Brantley?

The Chicago White Sox probably aren't going to sign free-agent outfielder George Springer because of his price tag and the fact that they already have a star center fielder in Luis Robert. Instead, Chicago could target a corner outfielder like Michael Brantley, especially because they're seeking a left-handed bat. The 33-year-old hit .300/.364/.476 with five […]

Jackie Bradley Jr. Could Return To Red Sox

Boston Red Sox general manager Brian O'Halloran said on Monday that "Jackie Bradley Jr. is still on our radar."

Darrynton Evans Back From Injured Reserve

The Tennessee Titans activated rookie running back Darrynton Evans (hamstring) from Injured Reserve on Monday and also activated offensive tackle Isaiah Wilson from the suspended list.
