Jags Pick Up Jalen Ramsey's Option

The Jacksonville Jaguars exercised cornerback Jalen Ramsey's fifth-year option on Thursday. The Pro Bowl cornerback is now under contract through the 2020 season. Ramsey should eventually sign a long-term extension with the club. The 24-year-old has become one of the league's best corners in just three seasons. He had 65 tackles and three interceptions and […]

The Tampa Bay Rays placed infielder Joey Wendle on the 10-day injured list on Thursday with a wrist fracture and called up infielder Christian Arroyo and reliever Austin Pruitt from Triple-A Durham in corresponding moves.

Quinnen Williams An Option At No. 1 Overall

Arizona Cardinals general manager Steve Keim reached out to Alabama defensive tackle Quinnen Williams to let him know that he's still a possibility for the team at No. 1 overall, according to a source.

According to ESPN's Chris Mortensen, the Houston Texans are open to trading linebacker Jadeveon Clowney, who they placed the franchise tag on. The Texans have discussed an extension with Clowney, but he's yet to sign the franchise tender and the two sides aren't believed to be close on a long-term extension. The Houston Chronicle's John […]

Brandon Morrow Could Resume Throwing In A Few Weeks

Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Brandon Morrow (elbow), who is still in a diagnostic stage, could resume throwing in a few weeks. Morrow recently had a setback with his right elbow and has been shut down for the foreseeable future. He missed the entire second half last year and has no timetable for a return. As […]

Addison Russell To Work At Second Base

Chicago Cubs manager Joe Maddon said that shortstop Addison Russell will see repetitions at second base while on his minor league rehab assignment. Russell is nearing a return from his 40-game suspension for domestic violence, and he could be an option for the Cubs start next Friday, May 3. However, he is unlikely to play […]

The New York Jets (No. 3), Detroit Lions (No. 8), Miami Dolphins (No. 13), Seattle Seahawks (No. 21, 29) and Los Angeles Rams (No. 31) are the teams showing the most interest in moving down in the draft, according to sources. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the Rams have already received calls from teams interested […]

Redskins Aren't Serious About Trading Up

The Washington Redskins aren't very serious about trading up in the first round into the top five picks, according to sources. Washington's calls about trading up are "Bruce Allen being Bruce Allen." Washington sits at No. 15 overall and could really use a quarterback despite trading for Case Keenum in the offseason. However, it doesn't […]

Yankees Acquire Cameron Maybin

The New York Yankees acquired outfielder Cameron Maybin from the Indians on Thursday, but it's unclear what they gave up in return. Maybin can play all three outfield positions and could see immediate playing time with all the injuries to New York's outfield in the opening month. However, the 32-year-old was hitting just .216/.388/.275 with […]

Falcons Willing To Trade Up In First Round

The Atlanta Falcons have shown a willingness to trade up into the top 10 picks of the first round on Thursday. The Falcons currently own the No. 14 overall pick in the first round, but they are expected to use one or more of their nine draft picks this year to move up, most likely […]

Raiders Like Dwayne Haskins

The Oakland Raiders moved Ohio State quarterback Dwayne Haskins up their draft board late this week, according to a source. Haskins impressed the Raiders during his workout, and he could be an option for them at No. 4 overall, but it would certainly be a surprising pick with Derek Carr already on the roster and […]

Joc Pederson, Corey Seager, Max Muncy Out Against Lefty

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Joc Pederson, shortstop Corey Seager and first baseman Max Muncy are not in the lineup against Cubs left-handed starter Jon Lester on Thursday.

David Peralta, Wilmer Flores Sitting

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder David Peralta and infielder Wilmer Flores are not in the starting lineup on Thursday. It looks to be a normal day off for both players. Ildemaro Vargas draws the start at the keystone and is hitting second, while Blake Swihart is in right field and is hitting sixth against Pirates starter Jameson […]

Casey Mize Promoted To Double-A

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Casey Mize, the team's top prospect and No. 16 overall per MLB Pipeline, has been promoted from High-A Lakeland to Double-A Erie. The first overall pick of last year's draft allowed one run on seven hits in 26 innings (0.35 ERA, 0.30 WHIP) while striking out 25 and walking one in […]

Clint Frazier Headed To Injured List

New York Yankees outfielder Clint Frazier (ankle) will head to the injured list, and manager Aaron Boone said Frazier has a partial tear in his left ankle. The Yankees think it could be 10 to 14 days before he's ready to return. As if the Yankees weren't already injured enough, they're now losing their hottest […]

Ezekiel Ansah To Be Cleared By August

Free-agent defensive end Ezekiel Ansah (shoulder) had positive reviews from Dr. Neal ElAttrache on Monday, and he could be cleared by mid-August. Ansah's shoulder is structurally sound, but he still needs to gain strength in it heading into the 2019 season. The pass rusher visited with the Ravens on Wednesday and will surely be added […]

DeForest Buckner's Fifth-Year Option Exercised

The San Francisco 49ers exercised their fifth-year option on defensive end DeForest Buckner on Wednesday. The 2018 Pro Bowler was taken in the first round as the No. 7 pick in 2017 and has started all 47 games he's appeared in over three seasons. Buckner has 215 tackles, 21 sacks, eight passes defensed, three fumble […]

Bengals Not Expected To Go With QB Early

The feeling around the league is that the Cincinnati Bengals aren't in the quarterback market for the first round of the draft on Thursday, especially not with the 11th overall pick. Andy Dalton had a disappointing year due to injury in 2018, but he could be on the hot seat in Cincy if he falters […]

Case Keenum Not Locked In As Starter

Washington Redskins quarterback Case Keenum isn't necessarily viewed as the starter inside the team's building. Colt McCoy, despite undergoing another leg procedure recently, is still a possibility to become the starter heading into the season. It means that the Redskins are very much in the mix to draft a quarterback, possibly even in the first […]

No Charges Filed Against Tyreek Hill

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill won't face charges, but Johnson County District Attorney Steve Howe said he thinks a crime was committed against Hill's 3-year-old son. Investigators couldn't determine who committed the crime in which the boy suffered a broken arm. Hill and his fiance could ultimately lose custody of the child, and […]

Roman Quinn Exits With Groin Strain

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Roman Quinn left the game early on Wednesday with a right groin strain. He'll be re-examined on Thursday.

Troy Tulowitzki Nearing Game Action

New York Yankees shortstop Troy Tulowitzki (calf) has faced live pitching in Florida and could be close to playing games in extended spring training.

Miguel Andujar Could Play In Extended Spring Games This Weekend

New York Yankees third baseman Miguel Andujar (shoulder) could play third base in extended spring training games this weekend, according to manager Aaron Boone.
