Jack Doyle, Adam Vinatieri Miss Practice

Indianapolis Colts tight end Jack Doyle (hip) missed practice for the second straight day on Tuesday. It looks like he'll be missing his third straight game.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Matt Holliday is starting in left field and is batting fifth in the wild-card game on Tuesday against Cubs starter Jon Lester.

Antonio Callaway's Playing Time Could Be Reduced

Cleveland Browns head coach Hue Jackson said rookie wide receiver Antonio Callaway's playing time might have to be pulled back a bit even after playing 70 percent of the snaps in Week 4.

Cairo Santos Signing With Rams

The Los Angeles Rams are signing free-agent kicker Cairo Santos on Tuesday, according to a source. With Greg Zuerlein (groin) close to returning, Santos may not be on the job for long, however.

Rams Releasing Sam Ficken

The Los Angeles Rams are releasing kicker Sam Ficken on Tuesday and plan on signing another veteran until Greg Zuerlein (groin) returns from his injury, according to a source.

Antonio Callaway Pleads Not Guilty To Misdemeanors

Cleveland Browns rookie wide receiver Antonio Callaway pled not guilty last week to two misdemeanor charges coming from an August traffic stop, according to his attorney, Kevin Spellacy.

Rob Gronkowski Misses Practice Tuesday

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski (ankle) was not spotted during Tuesday's walkthrough practice. Gronk is looking highly questionable for Thursday night against the Colts, even though his ankle injury isn't believed to be very serious.

Blue Jays Deciding On Yangervis Solarte's Option

The Toronto Blue Jays are still working through infielder Yangervis Solarte's 2019 option decision, according to general manager Ross Atkins.

Liam Hendriks To Open Up Wild-Card Game

Oakland Athletics pitcher Liam Hendriks will serve as the "starter" in the wild-card game against the Yankees on Wednesday.

Mike Clevinger To Start Game 3 Of ALDS

The Minnesota Twins fired manager Paul Molitor on Tuesday. It comes as a bit of a surprise after Molitor won American League Manager of the Year in 2017 when he led the team to a wild-card appearance. He went 305-343 in his four season in Minnesota, with two of those winning seasons.

Cleveland Indians manager Terry Francona said that outfielder Brandon Guyer (shoulder) will take part in the intrasquad game on Tuesday but will only track pitches.

Marshawn Lynch Not Slowing Down

Oakland Raiders veteran running back Marshawn Lynch had 130 yards in the Week 4 overtime win over the Browns, which was his highest rushing output since going for 140 yards for Seattle against the Giants in 2014.

Morgan Burnett, Mike Hilton Expected To Practice

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said safety Morgan Burnett (groin) and slot cornerback Mike Hilton (elbow) are expected to practice this week.

Severino was strong all year for the Yanks, going 19-8 with a 3.39 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and impressive 10.3 K/9 across 32 starts. His most recent start against Oakland on Sept. 5 didn't go very […]
