Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Mike Groh said running back Corey Clement wasn't on a "pitch count" last Thursday against the Giants after missing two games with a quadriceps injury.

Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Austin Barnes will be behind the plate instead of Yasmani Grandal in Game 4 of the National League Championship Series on Tuesday.

Eduardo Nunez To Play Third Base Tuesday

Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora said infielder Eduardo Nunez will play third base over Rafael Devers in Game 3 of the American League Championship Series on Tuesday against Astros left-hander Dallas Keuchel. It makes sense with Devers hitting just .229/.272/.347 with three of his 21 homers against lefties on the year, but is just […]

Chris Sale To Re-Join Team Tuesday

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Chris Sale (illness) was released from the hospital on Monday and has been cleared to rejoin the team in Houston on Tuesday for Game 3 of the American League Championship Series.

Steelers Not Expecting Le'Veon Bell This Week

The Pittsburgh Steelers are not expecting running back Le'Veon Bell to show up this week despite previous reports saying that he would return during the team's Week 7 bye, according to a team source.

Trent Taylor, Dante Pettis Ruled Out Monday Night

San Francisco 49ers wide receivers Trent Taylor (back) and Dante Pettis (knee) have both officially been ruled out for Monday night against the Packers.

Pierre Garcon Active Against Packers

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Pierre Garcon (knee, shoulder) is active on Monday night against the Packers. The veteran Garcon was always expected to play, but he'll likely be at less than 100 percent as the No. 2 behind Marquise Goodwin.

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Wade Miley will pitch on short rest for Game 5 of the National League Championship Series against the Dodgers on Wednesday. In 10 1/3 innings over two starts in the postseason this year, the left-hander hasn't allowed a single run while walking one and striking out five. Miley has been surprisingly […]

Jose Altuve Could Serve As DH In Game 3

Houston Astros manager A.J. Hinch is "considering" using second baseman Jose Altuve (knee) as the designated hitter in Game 3 of the American League Championship Series against the Red Sox on Tuesday.

Quincy Enunwa Has High Ankle Sprain

New York Jets wide receiver Quincy Enunwa's (ankle) MRI exam revealed a high ankle sprain, according to a source.
