Kris Bryant Has Bruised Wrist

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.

Saints Re-Sign Brandon Tate

The New Orleans Saints re-signed wide receiver Brandon Tate on Tuesday, according to a source. He will be at practice on Wednesday. Tate was released by the team before the season started.

Ji-Man Choi Cleared Of Concussion

Updating a previous report, Tampa Bay Rays first baseman Ji-Man Choi (head) was cleared of a concussion but is still in the protocol and is being monitored.

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.

Nick Delmonico Leaves Game Early Tuesday

Chicago White Sox outfielder Nick Delmonico (shoulder) left the game early on Tuesday with a sore right shoulder and is listed as day-to-day. He injured himself making a diving catch.

Tampa Bay Rays first baseman Ji-Man Choi (head) left the game early on Tuesday with "concussion-like symptoms."

Dansby Swanson Injured Tuesday

Atlanta Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson (hand) left the game early on Tuesday with left hand soreness. Swanson was hitless in his only plate appearance before leaving with his injury.

Bryce Harper Would Like To Stay In D.C.

Washington Nationals impending free-agent outfielder Bryce Harper said he would "absolutely love to be" in Washington for the long term.

Christian Walker To Have Surgery Wednesday

Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Christian Walker (jaw) will have surgery on Wednesday in which he'll have a plate put in and his jaw wired shut for a week. He'll also be on a liquid diet for a month. It's a brutal way to end the season for a player that had played in just 37 […]

Marcus Peters, Mark Barron Not Practicing

Los Angeles Rams cornerback Marcus Peters (calf) and linebacker Mark Barron (ankle) both have not practiced yet this week. Peters is dealing with a calf strain and although he hasn't been ruled out for Thursday, it's highly unlikely he'll play against the Rams. Barron has yet to play this year and is also likely doubtful […]

Dalvin Cook Limited In Practice Tuesday

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring) was limited in practice on Tuesday. Cook remains day-to-day and has a chance to play this Thursday against the Rams, but he's looking like a game-time decision as of now after missing the Week 3 game against the Bills. At this point if Cook plays, he'll be a […]

Rangers Shutting Mike Minor Down

The Texas Rangers have shut starting pitcher Mike Minor down for the remainder of the season, as he's reached an innings limit. Minor will finish with a 12-8 record, 4.18 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 132 strikeouts in 157 innings over 28 starts in 2018. Those aren't bad numbers at all considering he didn't start a […]

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Rich Hill will have his final start of the season skipped this weekend against the Giants.

While the San Francisco 49ers aren't expected to add a veteran quarterback this week to back up C.J. Beathard, sources say that free-agent quarterback Tom Savage is the favorite to sign in San Francisco eventually.

The Oakland Raiders are signing free-agent kicker Matt McCrane on Tuesday, according to sources. McCrane was an undrafted free agent that didn't make it out of training camp with the Cardinals.

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher/designated hitter Shohei Ohtani (elbow) will have Tommy John surgery next week.

Packers Sign Bashaud Breeland

The Green Bay Packers signed free-agent cornerback Bashaud Breeland on Tuesday. Breeland will replace Davon House (shoulder), who is going on Injured Reserve. The former fourth-round pick of the Redskins will bring a veteran presence to a young secondary. He had 37 tackles and an interception returned for a touchdown in 15 games with Washington […]

Pittsburgh Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said starting pitcher Jameson Taillon may not make his final start of the season on Saturday against the Reds.

Paxton Lynch Works Out For Jaguars

The Jacksonville Jaguars worked out free-agent quarterback Paxton Lynch, running back Jeremy Langford and wide receiver Chad Hansen on Tuesday.

Aqib Talib To Have Surgery Thursday

Los Angeles Rams cornerback Aqib Talib (ankle) will undergo surgery on his ankle on Thursday, according to head coach Sean McVay.

Marcus Peters Questionable For Thursday

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay is saying that cornerback Marcus Peters (calf) is questionable to play on Thursday against the Vikings.

Aaron Altherr Has Torn Ligament In Toe

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Aaron Altherr (toe) suffered a ligament tear in his right big toe when he crashed into the outfield wall on Monday. With only six games left in the season, he will not play again this year. It's a fitting end to what was a big disappointment of a season for the 27-year-old, […]

Arodys Vizcaino Likely To Be Primary Closer From Here On Out

Atlanta Braves relief pitcher Arodys Vizcaino is likely to be used as the primary closer the rest of the way this year if he's healthy, given A.J. Minter's recent struggles in the bullpen. The Braves would like to see Vizcaino pitch on back-to-back days before the end of the week, but it's not necessary. Vizcaino […]

Jeremy Jeffress Available On Tuesday

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Jeremy Jeffress (neck), who was unavailable on Monday, said he can pitch if he's needed on Tuesday. Jeffress has been lights-out this year as an All-Star and should remain the team's primary closing option down the stretch and into the playoffs. Make sure he's in your lineups if you're still playing […]

Christian Walker Suffers Broken Bones In Face

Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Christian Walker (face) suffered broken bones in his face after being hit by a pitch on Monday and is done for the rest of the season, according to manager Torey Lovullo.

Baltimore Orioles relief pitcher Ryan Meisinger will start Game 1 of a doubleheader against the Red Sox on Wednesday. Meisinger has a 4.50 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 21 K's over 20 innings in 16 relief appearances for the O's this year. Don't expect him to go more than an inning or two in his first […]

Davon House Expected To Have Surgery
