Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Brent Grimes (groin) is active in Week 3 against the Steelers on Monday night.

Baltimore Orioles manager Buck Showalter said starting pitcher Yefry Ramirez (finger) is unlikely to start on Wednesday due to a cut on his finger.

Chad Bettis Lined Up To Start Tuesday
Colorado Rockies manager Bud Black said pitcher Chad Bettis is the probable starter for Tuesday against the Phillies after the team pushed Tyler Anderson (shoulder) back.

Trevor Story To Return To Lineup Monday
Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story (elbow) will be in the starting lineup against the Phillies on Monday after missing five games with right elbow soreness.

Justin Jackson Added To Active Roster
The Los Angeles Chargers signed rookie running back Justin Jackson to the active roster from the practice squad and waived running back Detrez Newsome in a corresponding move.

49ers To Work Out Tom Savage
The San Francisco 49ers are bringing in free-agent quarterback Tom Savage for a workout on Monday, according to a source.

Jimmy Garoppolo's Season Is Over
An MRI exam on Monday confirmed that San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (knee) has a torn ACL, according to a source. He will miss the rest of the 2018 season.
