T.Y. Hilton Out Of Practice Thursday

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (ankle) remains sidelined at practice on Thursday.

He has blowup potential in what could be a high-scoring game against the Chiefs in […]

Mariners Sign Tim Beckham

The Seattle Mariners signed free-agent shortstop Tim Beckham to a one-year, $1.75 million deal with $250,000 in incentives on Thursday. The former first overall pick in 2008 was a disappointment in 2018 after a career year in 2017. He hit .230/.287/.374 with 12 home runs and 35 RBI in just 96 games with the Orioles. […]

The New York Jets are hiring former Miami Dolphins head coach Adam Gase on Wednesday to be their next head coach.

Indianapolis Colts tight end Eric Ebron (hip) and wide receiver Dontrelle Inman (finger, shoulder) both returned to a limited practice on Wednesday after sitting out on Tuesday.

No Practice For Carson Wentz

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz (back) remained sidelined at practice on Wednesday.

Kevin Plawecki Avoids Arbitration

Cleveland Indians catcher Kevin Plawecki avoided salary arbitration on Wednesday by agreeing to a one-year, $1.137 million deal. The Tribe acquired Plawecki from the Mets last weekend, and he's expected to be the primary catcher in 2019 alongside Roberto Perez.
