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

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Aaron Altherr (toe) suffered a ligament tear in his right big toe when he crashed into the outfield wall on Monday.

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 […]

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.

Still, he was one of the brighter spots on […]

Minnesota Twins third baseman Miguel Sano (knee) and catcher Mitch Garver (concussion) could both return later this week. Garver passed his concussion tests and could return as a designated hitter or pinch-hitter.

Aaron Hicks Dodges A Bullet

An MRI exam revealed no tears in New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks' hamstring, according to manager Aaron Boone. Hicks' hamstring remains tight and he will sit out for a few days.

Tanner Roark Won't Start Wednesday

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Tanner Roark will not make his scheduled start on Wednesday against the Marlins and will instead stay home to be with his family and newborn child.

Patrick Robinson Expected To Land On IR

The New Orleans Saints are expected to place cornerback Patrick Robinson (ankle) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday with a broken ankle, according to sources.

Bruce Ellington Placed On Injured Reserve

The Houston Texans placed wide receiver Bruce Ellington (hamstring) and linebacker Dylan Cole (wrist) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday.

Chris Conte Put On IR

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers placed safety Chris Conte (knee) on the Injured Reserve on Tuesday.

Lourdes Gurriel Being Shut Down

Toronto Blue Jays infielder Lourdes Gurriel (hamstring) is out for the remainder of the season after injuring his hamstring on Monday.

Gabriel Moya To Serve As Opener Tuesday

Minnesota Twins pitcher Gabriel Moya will be the opener against the Tigers, with Kohl Stewart following him. Moya has become a popular opener for the Twins of late, but he still holds a 4.86 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 30 strikeouts in 33 1/3 innings over 32 outings (four starts). You can avoid the left-hander for […]
