Lourdes Gurriel Being Shut Down
Toronto Blue Jays infielder Lourdes Gurriel (hamstring) is out for the remainder of the season after injuring his hamstring on Monday.

Jake Faria Starting Tuesday
Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Jake Faria will make the start against the Yankees on Tuesday. He will only likely go a few innings, with Jalen Beeks likely to pitch as well. Faria hasn't started a game since Aug. 15, so it would make sense that he won't last long in this game. The right-hander has […]

Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer said running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring) has a "possibility" of playing on Thursday night against the Rams.
