Brandon McManus On The Streaming Radar In Week 8

Jerry Jeudy Could See More Targets In Week 8

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Jerry Jeudy showed up on the team's Week 8 injury report with a shoulder injury, but he practiced in full all week and is good to go for Sunday against the Chargers.

He salvaged his stat line by rushing for a […]

Braves Interested In Adam Wainwright

The Atlanta Braves are interested in free-agent starting pitcher Adam Wainwright, 17 years after he pitched for current manager Brian Snitker at Double-A Greenville.

The Cleveland Indians decided to pick up catcher Roberto Perez's $5.5 million team option for the 2021 season on Friday.
