Rockies Option Riley Pint To Triple-A

The Colorado Rockies announced on Thursday that they optioned right-hander Riley Pint to Triple-A Albuquerque.

Dawson Knox Misses Thursday's Practice

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox (ankle, groin) did not take part in Thursday's training camp practice due to a pair of injuries.

There's no indication that […]

Gardner Minshew II To Start This Weekend

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Aidan O'Connell got the start in the preseason opener last week, so Gardner Minshew II will get the nod on Saturday against the Dallas Cowboys, with both QBs set to play a quarter as they continue their competition.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder/infielder Mookie Betts will take a day to rest in Thursday's series finale against the Milwaukee Brewers at American Family Field.

Julio Rodriguez Out After Aggravating Ankle Injury

Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez (ankle) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's series finale against the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park aggravating his right-ankle injury in Wednesday's extra-inning loss.
