Blister Problems Resurface For Kyle Freeland

Colorado Rockies left-hander Kyle Freeland (finger) was forced to leave his start early on Tuesday against the Atlanta Braves due to another blister issue on his left middle finger.

Romeo Doubs Stays Limited On Wednesday

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs (hand) put in a second straight limited practice session on Wednesday. The Packers didn't actually practice on Wednesday, so Doubs' practice status was an estimation with the team flying to Brazil ahead of Friday night's regular-season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles. Unless Doubs is unable to practice on […]

MarShawn Lloyd Limited On Wednesday

Green Bay Packers running backs MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) and Emanuel Wilson (hip) were both listed as limited at practice on Wednesday.

DeAndre Hopkins Expected To Practice On Wednesday

Tennessee Titans head coach Brian Callahan said that wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (knee) should be at the team's first official practice on Wednesday, but it remains to be seen how much he'll do.

Curtis Samuel To Practice In Full

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that wide receiver Curtis Samuel (toe) will be a full participant in the team's first official practice on Wednesday.

Kyle Pitts Dealing With Hamstring Injury

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts (hamstring) is dealing with a hamstring injury and will be limited at practice on Wednesday, according to head coach Raheem Morris.

Domingo German Making A Start On Wednesday

Pittsburgh Pirates right-hander Domingo German will make the start for the Pirates on Wednesday at Wrigley Field against the division-rival Chicago Cubs.

Josh Naylor Dealing With Back Spasm

Cleveland Guardians first baseman Josh Naylor (back) left Tuesday's contest early against the division-rival Kansas City Royals in the eighth inning due to an acute back spasm, according to the team.

Ozzie Albies Trending Toward Mid-To-Late September Return

Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies (wrist) said he doesn't need to wear a brace on his left wrist anymore and that his return is trending toward a mid-to-late September date after his initial eight-week prognosis.

Nestor Cortes To Make His Next Appearance In Piggyback Role

New York Yankees left-hander Nestor Cortes will serve in a piggyback relief role in his next appearance, either on Friday against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field after right-hander Luis Gil (back), or after right-hander Clarke Schmidt (lat) on Saturday.

Gerrit Cole Will Make His Next Start On Sunday

New York Yankees right-hander Gerrit Cole (calf) will make his next turn in the starting rotation this Sunday at Wrigley Field versus the hosting Chicago Cubs.
