New York Giants tight end Evan Engram (knee) is expected to miss two to four weeks with an MCL sprain, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

New Orleans Saints cornerback Patrick Robinson (ankle) will need surgery to fix torn ligaments in his ankle.

Updating a previous report, Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant (wrist) has been diagnosed with a left wrist bruise after being hit by a pitch on Tuesday.

Chris Devenski To Serve As Opener Wednesday

Houston Astros relief pitcher Chris Devenski will start what will be a bullpen game against the Blue Jays on Wednesday.
