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.

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

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.

Mets Expected To Retain Mickey Callaway

New York Mets assistant general manager John Ricco said he anticipates the team keeping manager Mickey Callaway for the 2019 season.

Panthers Acquire Marshall Newhouse

The Carolina Panthers are acquiring offensive tackle Marshall Newhouse from the Bills on Tuesday, according to a source. It's unknown what the Panthers are giving to the Bills in return.

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 […]

Giants Add Garrett Dickerson To Active Roster

The New York Giants are signing tight end Garrett Dickerson from the practice squad to the active roster, according to a source.

Titans Signing Austin Davis

The Tennessee Titans are signing free-agent quarterback Austin Davis on Tuesday, according to a source.

Jake Faria Starting Tuesday

Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Jake Faria will make the start against the Yankees on Tuesday. He will only likely go a few innings, with Jalen Beeks likely to pitch as well. Faria hasn't started a game since Aug. 15, so it would make sense that he won't last long in this game. The right-hander has […]

Charges Against Roberto Osuna Withdrawn

Domestic-assault charges against Houston Astros closer Roberto Osuna were withdrawn on Tuesday, and he's entered into a peace bond for one year. He cannot contact the alleged victim for one year.

Dalvin Cook Has A Chance To Play

Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer said running back Dalvin Cook (hamstring) has a "possibility" of playing on Thursday night against the Rams. Cook is looking truly questionable for this one after sitting out in Week 3, and he could even be a game-time decision. In a tough matchup against the Rams, Cook will be […]

Todd Bowles To Take Back Some Play-Calling Duties

New York Jets head coach Todd Bowles will take back some of the play-calling duties from defensive coordinator Kacy Rodgers heading into Week 4.

Ryan Fitzpatrick Likely To Keep Starting Job

All indications seem to be that Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick will keep the starting job despite Jameis Winston returning from his three-game suspension heading into Week 4.

Everson Griffen Unlikely To Play Thursday

Minnesota Vikings defensive end Everson Griffen is unlikely to play this Thursday night against the Rams as he battles a serious mental-health related issue.

Eric Chavez The Favorite To Become Next Angels Manager

Former All-Star third baseman Eric Chavez, who is currently a special assistant to the general manager for the Los Angeles Angels, has emerged as the favorite to become the next manager if current skipper Mike Scioscia steps down at the end of the season, as is expected.

Jerad Eickhoff Might Make A Start This Week

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Jerad Eickhoff, who missed most of the season with a lat strain and nerve issue in his right hand, could make a start in the final week of the season.
