Colorado Rockies infielder Elehuris Montero is out of the team's starting lineup as they take on the hosting Houston Astros on Tuesday.

Trey Sermon The Likely No. 2 RB In Indy?

With no clear replacement for Zack Moss after he left in free agency this offseason, the likeliest option to ascend to the No. 2 running back spot behind starter Jonathan Taylor appears to be Indianapolis Colts RB Trey Sermon. His hard running style has earned him the first crack at the job during offseason workouts. […]

Dax Hill Taking The Move Outside Well

Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Dax Hill entered the offseason in a precarious spot. The first-rounder in 2022 was the starting free safety last year in an experiment that didn't go well.

Keion White Has Surprised The Coaching Staff

New England Patriots first-year head coach Jerod Mayo mentioned defensive lineman/edge rusher Keion White when asked if there was a player this offseason that has surprised him so far.

Jody Fortson Jr. Stands Out In Spring Practices

The Miami Dolphins signed veteran Jonnu Smith this offseason to provide a receiving threat at tight end, but Jody Fortson Jr. stood out during spring practices.

Unless something unforeseen happens, quarterback Russell Wilson will be the Pittsburgh Steelers' starting QB in Week 1 against the Atlanta Falcons this fall.

DJ Stewart, Tyrone Taylor To See More Time

With New York Mets outfielder Starling Marte (knee) sidelined, the obvious candidates on the roster to see more action in the outfield are DJ Stewart and Tyrone Taylor. Second baseman Jeff McNeil could see more time in the outfield, too, which would open up the possibility of moving an infielder up from Triple-A Syracuse. The […]

Christian Scott, Jose Butto Could Be Up Soon

The Athletic's Will Sammon speculates that New York Mets starting pitchers David Peterson and Tylor Megill could both get optioned to Triple-A Syracuse following their next starts, assuming the Mets stick with their current rotation for the next few games, in favor of more relievers. Then, when those turns in the rotation pop up again, […]
